(1)                                 (A) the right, title and interest as a holder of the Issuer Class C Units, including the Issuer Class C Units and any and all of the economic rights and governance, voting and other consensual rights that may arise as holder of the Issuer Class C Units under the TRC LLC Agreement, (B) the Collection Account established under this Indenture, (C) all amounts from time to time on deposit in or otherwise credited to the Collection Account, (D) all cash, financial assets and other investment property, instruments, documents, chattel paper, general intangibles, accounts and other property from time to time credited to the Collection Account or representing investments and reinvestments of amounts credited to the Collection Account and (E) all interest, principal payments, dividends and other distributions payable on or with respect to, and all proceeds of, (i) all property so credited or representing such investments and reinvestments and (ii) the Collection Account;

 

(2)                                 the right to enforce the representations, warranties and covenants made by the Transferor and Theravance Biopharma under the Sale and Contribution Agreement;

(5)                                 all rights of the Issuer (contractual and otherwise) constituting, arising under, connected with or in any way related to any or all of the foregoing property;

 











 

(6)                                 all books, records, ledger cards, files, correspondence, computer programs, tapes, disks and related data processing software owned by the Issuer that at any time evidence or contain information relating to any of the foregoing property or are otherwise necessary or helpful in the collection thereof or realization thereupon;

 

(7)                                 all documents of title, policies and certificates of insurance, securities, chattel paper and other documents or instruments evidencing or pertaining to any of the foregoing property of the Issuer; and

 

(8)                                 all proceeds and products of any and all of the foregoing property.

 

These Grants are made in order to secure (i) the prompt payment of the principal of, Premium (if any) and interest on, and all other amounts due with respect to, the Notes from time to time Outstanding hereunder, equally and ratably without prejudice, priority or distinction between any Note and any other Notes except as expressly provided herein, (ii) the payment of any fees, expenses or other amounts that the Issuer is obligated to pay under or in respect of the Notes or this Indenture, (iii) the payment and performance of all the obligations of the Issuer in respect of any amendment, modification, extension, renewal or refinancing of the Notes and (iv) the performance and observance by the Issuer of all the agreements, covenants and provisions expressed or implied herein and in the Notes for the benefit of the Secured Parties (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”), in each case in accordance with and subject to the allocation priorities and the Priority of Payments set forth in Article III, and for the uses and purposes and subject to the terms and provisions hereof.

 

The Issuer shall file, and hereby authorizes the filing of, all financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, in all jurisdictions and with all filing offices as are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interests in the Collateral granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture.  Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described in any security agreement entered into by the parties in connection herewith or may contain an indication or description of Collateral that describes such property in any other manner as is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interests in the Collateral granted to the Trustee in connection herewith, including describing such property as “all assets” or “all personal property.”  Nothing herein shall be construed as imposing a duty upon the Trustee to determine the jurisdictions or filing offices in which such filings should be made or to make such filings.

 

Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Indenture, the Issuer does hereby constitute and irrevocably appoint (until this Indenture is terminated) the Trustee its true and lawful attorney with full power (in the name of the Issuer or otherwise) to exercise the rights of the Issuer with respect to the Collateral held for the benefit and security of the Secured Parties and to ask, require, demand, receive, settle, compromise, compound and give acquittance for any and all moneys and claims for moneys due and to become due under or arising out of any of the Collateral held for the benefit and security of the Secured Parties, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Trustee may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premises.  The power of attorney granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture and all authority hereby conferred are granted and conferred solely to protect the Trustee’s interest in the Collateral held

for the benefit and security of the Secured Parties and shall not impose any duty upon the Trustee to exercise any power except as expressly provided herein or in any other Transaction Documents.  This power of attorney shall be irrevocable as one coupled with an interest prior to the payment in full of all the obligations secured hereby.

 

This Indenture shall constitute a security agreement under the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed therein.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Notes, and in addition to any other rights available under this Indenture or any other instruments included in the Collateral held for the benefit and security of the Secured Party or otherwise available at law or in equity, the Trustee shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the laws of the State of New York and other Applicable Law to enforce the assignments and security interests contained herein and, in addition, shall have the right, subject to compliance with any mandatory requirements of Applicable Law, to sell or apply any rights and other interests assigned or pledged hereby in accordance with the terms hereof at public or private sale (subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to the rights of the Noteholders, as applicable, under the relevant Transaction Documents to instruct the Trustee in the exercise of such rights and remedies); provided, in no event that shall the Trustee sell or cause the sale of all or any part of the Collateral to a Restricted Party.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Indenture shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in Annex A, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.  The rules of construction set forth in Annex A shall apply to this Indenture and are hereby incorporated by reference herein.  Not all terms defined in Annex A are used in this Indenture.

 

Section 1.2                                    Officer’s Certificates and Opinions.  Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Trustee following the Closing Date to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that, in the opinion of the signer thereof in his or her capacity as such, all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with, and an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that, in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or request, no additional Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel need be furnished.

 

Every Officer’s Certificate with respect to compliance with a condition precedent or covenant provided for in this Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto shall include:

(d)                                 a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition precedent or covenant has been complied with.

 

Section 1.3                                    Acts of Noteholders.

 

(a)                                 Any direction, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture in respect of the Notes of any class to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by an agent or proxy duly appointed in writing, and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee or to the Issuer.  Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments.  Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose under this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee or the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.3(a).

 

(b)                                 The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the certificate of any notary public or other officer of any jurisdiction authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds or administer oaths that the Person executing such instrument acknowledged to him or her the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn to before any such notary or such other officer and, where such execution is by an officer of a corporation or association, trustee of a trust or member of a partnership, on behalf of such corporation, association, trust or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority.  The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other reasonable manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.

 

(c)                                  In determining whether the Noteholders or Beneficial Holders have given any Direction under this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, Notes owned by (i) any Noteholder or Beneficial Holder that has not delivered to the Trustee a Confidentiality Agreement or a written certification in the form attached as Exhibit H in which such Noteholder or Beneficial Holder certifies it is not a Restricted Party, (ii) any Noteholder or Beneficial Holder that has delivered the Confidentiality Agreement or the written certification referred to in clause (i) above, but is nonetheless determined in good faith after reasonable investigation by the Issuer, or the Servicer on its behalf, to be a Restricted Party or (iii) any other Non-Permitted Holder, the

 

5











 

Issuer, the Equityholder, Theravance Biopharma or any Affiliate of any such Person, shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for purposes of any such determination.  In determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such Direction, only Notes and Beneficial Interests in respect of which the Trustee has received a Confidentiality Agreement or a written certification in the form attached as Exhibit H that the Noteholder or Beneficial Holder is not a Restricted Party shall be included; provided that Notes or Beneficial Interests owned by any Noteholder or Beneficial Holder that has delivered the Confidentiality Agreement or the written certification referred to in clause (i) above, but is nonetheless determined in good faith after reasonable investigation by the Issuer, or the Servicer on its behalf, to be a Restricted Party as expressly so stated in a written notice delivered to the Trustee, shall not be included.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Theravance Biopharma or any of its Affiliates owns 100% of the Notes of any class Outstanding, such Notes shall not be so disregarded as aforesaid.

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding the definition of “Record Date,” the Issuer may, at its option, by delivery of Officer’s Certificate(s) to the Trustee, set a record date other than the Record Date to determine the Noteholders in respect of the Notes of any class entitled to give any Direction in respect of such Notes.  Such record date shall be the record date specified in such Officer’s Certificate, which shall be a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the first solicitation of Noteholders in connection therewith.  If such a record date is fixed, such Direction may be given before or after such record date, but only the Noteholders of the applicable class at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Noteholders for the purposes of determining whether Noteholders holding the requisite proportion of Outstanding Notes of such class have authorized, agreed or consented to such Direction, and for that purpose the Outstanding Notes of such class shall be computed as of such record date; provided, that no such Direction by the Noteholders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than one year after the record date.

 

(e)                                  Any Direction or other action by the Noteholder of any Note shall bind the Noteholder of every Note issued upon the transfer thereof, in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note, and any Direction or other action by the Beneficial Holder of any Beneficial Interest in any Note shall bind any transferee of such Beneficial Interest.

The Notes shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods (with or without steel engraved borders), all as determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

Such order shall specify the aggregate principal amount and type of Notes to be authenticated, the date of issue, whether they are to be issued as Global Notes or Definitive Notes and delivery instructions.

 

The Notes will be sold initially only (A) to Persons that are both Qualified Institutional Buyers and Qualified Purchasers (“QIB/QPs”), purchasing the Beneficial Interest in the Notes for their own account or one or more other accounts with respect to which each such Person exercises sole investment discretion, each of which is a QIB/QP, in reliance on Rule 144A, (B) solely in the case of initial investors in the Notes, to Persons that are both Qualified Purchasers and Institutional Accredited Investors (“IAI/QPs”) purchasing for their own account or one or more other accounts with respect to which each such Person exercises sole investment discretion, each of which is an IAI/QP, and (C) outside the United States, to Qualified Purchasers that are Non-U.S. Persons in reliance on Regulation S (“Non-U.S. Persons/QPs”), that in the case of clauses (A) through (C) are purchasing the Definitive Notes or a Beneficial Interest in the Notes in a manner that does not involve any general solicitation or advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D under the Securities Act) or any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act, are not acquiring the Notes with a view to any resale or distribution thereof other than in accordance with the restrictions set forth herein, have sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of the Notes and are able and prepared to bear the economic risk of investing in and holding the Notes and, in each case, are not Restricted Parties.

 

The Notes may thereafter be transferred in reliance on Rule 144A and/or Regulation S and in accordance with the procedures described herein.

It is intended that the Notes be registered so as to participate in a book-entry system with DTC. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of the Notes shall be registered in the Register in the name of Cede & Co. (“Cede”), or any successor thereto, as nominee for DTC.  The Applicable Procedures shall be applicable to transfers of Beneficial Interests in the Notes.

 

Any Notes offered and sold to QIB/QPs in reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global certificates in fully registered form without payment coupons, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 hereto (each, a “Rule 144A Global Note”), registered in the name of Cede, as nominee of DTC, deposited with the Trustee as custodian for DTC, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided.  The aggregate principal amount of each Rule 144A Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased to reflect transfers to and from the Rule 144A Global Note by adjustments made on the books and records of the Trustee, as custodian for DTC, as hereinafter provided.

 

Any Notes offered and sold to IAI/QPs shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global certificates in fully registered form without payment coupons, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 hereto (each, an “IAI Global Note”), registered in the name of Cede, as nominee of DTC, deposited with the Trustee as custodian for DTC, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided.  The aggregate principal amount of each IAI Global Note may from time to time be decreased to reflect transfers from the IAI Global Note by adjustments made on the books and records of the Trustee, as custodian for DTC, as hereinafter provided.

 

Any Notes offered and sold to Non-U.S. Persons/QPs in offshore transactions in reliance upon Regulation S shall be in each case issued initially in the form of (i) one or more temporary global Notes in registered form substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A-3 hereto (each, a “Temporary Regulation S Global Note”), registered in the name of Cede, as nominee of DTC, deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided, for credit to the respective accounts at DTC of the designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream or (ii) one or more Definitive Notes in registered form substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A-5 hereto, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided.

 

At any time following the termination of the Restricted Period, upon delivery of a certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit E-2 hereto given by a Beneficial Holder holding a Beneficial Interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note, Beneficial Interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Notes shall be exchangeable, in whole or in part, for Beneficial Interests in one or more permanent global notes in fully registered form without payment coupons, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A-4 hereto (each, a “Permanent Regulation S Global Note” and, together with each Temporary Regulation S Global Note, the “Regulation S Global Notes”), registered in the name of Cede, as nominee of DTC, deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the Temporary Regulation S Global Note of such class in an amount equal to the principal amount of such Temporary Regulation S Global Note exchanged.  Until the termination of the Restricted Period with respect to any Temporary Regulation S Global Note,

Beneficial Interests in such Temporary Regulation S Global Note may be held only through Agent Members acting for and on behalf of Euroclear and Clearstream.  The aggregate principal amount of the Temporary Regulation S Global Notes or the Permanent Regulation S Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased to reflect transfers to and from such Global Notes by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for DTC, as hereinafter provided.

 

(c)                                  Interest shall accrue on any class of Fixed Rate Notes from the date of issuance of such Fixed Rate Notes and shall be computed for each Interest Accrual Period on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the Outstanding Principal Balance of such Notes.  Interest shall accrue on any class of Floating Rate Notes from the date of issuance of such Floating Rate Notes and shall be computed for each Interest Accrual Period on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in such Interest Accrual Period on the Outstanding Principal Balance of such Notes.  For the avoidance of doubt, interest shall accrue on the Original Notes over the period from the Closing Date to the April 15, 2019 Payment Date as simple interest without compounding over such period.

(h)                                 At any time and from time to time after the execution of any Notes, the Issuer may deliver such Notes to the Trustee for authentication and, subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(i), the Trustee shall authenticate such Notes by manual or facsimile signature upon receipt by it of a written order of the Issuer.

(e)                                  Any Authorized Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Issuer.  The Issuer may, and at the request of the Trustee shall, at any time terminate the agency of any Authorized Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authorized Agent and to the Trustee.  Upon the resignation or termination of an Authorized Agent or if at any time any such Authorized Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section 2.3 (when, in either case, no other Authorized Agent performing the functions of such Authorized Agent shall have been appointed by the Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint one or more qualified successor Authorized Agents, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to perform the functions of the Authorized Agent that has resigned or whose agency has been terminated or who shall have ceased to be eligible under this Section 2.3.  The Issuer shall give written notice of any such appointment made by it to the Trustee, and in each case the Trustee shall send notice of such appointment to all Noteholders of the related class of Notes as their names and addresses appear on the Register for such class of Notes.

 

(f)                                   The Issuer agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, from time to time to each Authorized Agent reasonable compensation for its services and to reimburse it for its reasonable expenses to be agreed to pursuant to separate agreements with each such Authorized Agent.

 

(g)                                  Each Authorized Agent shall be entitled to all of the protections, immunities, indemnities, rights and privileges of the Trustee as set forth in this Indenture.

The Trustee shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that all moneys deposited with any Paying Agent for the purpose of any payment on the Notes shall be deposited and held in trust

 

17











 

for the benefit of the Noteholders entitled to such payment, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.4.  Moneys so deposited and held in trust shall constitute a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Noteholders with respect to which such money was deposited.

 

The Trustee may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

 

Section 2.5                                    Method of Payment.

 

(a)                                 On each Payment Date, the Trustee shall, or shall instruct a Paying Agent to, pay, subject to Section 3.6, to the extent of the Available Collections Amount for such Payment Date, to the Noteholders all interest, principal and Premium, if any, on each class of Notes in the amounts determined by the Calculation Agent pursuant to Section 3.4.  Each payment on any Payment Date other than the final payment with respect to any class of Notes shall be made by the Trustee or the Paying Agent to the Noteholders as of the Record Date for such Payment Date.  The final payment with respect to any class of Notes, however, shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Note by the Noteholder or its agent at an office or agency of the Trustee or the Paying Agent in New York City.

 

(b)                                 At such time, if any, as the Notes of any class are issued in the form of Definitive Notes, payments on a Payment Date shall be made by the Trustee or the Paying Agent by check mailed to each Noteholder of a Definitive Note on the applicable Record Date at its address appearing on the Register maintained with respect to such class of Notes.  Alternatively, upon application in writing to the Trustee, not later than the applicable Record Date, by a Noteholder holding Definitive Notes, any such payments shall be made by wire transfer to an account designated by such Noteholder at a financial institution in New York City; provided, that, in each case, the final payment for any class of Notes shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of the Definitive Notes of such class by the Noteholder or its agent at an office or agency of the Trustee or the Paying Agent in New York City.  Payments in respect of the Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, Premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by DTC at a financial institution in New York City.

 

(c)                                  The payment of any Interest Amount in respect of a class of Notes on a particular Payment Date shall be deemed allocated first to any unpaid Interest Amount due prior to such Payment Date (together with Additional Interest thereon) and second to any Interest Amount due on such Payment Date.

 

(d)                                 If the Final Legal Maturity Date with respect to the Original Notes is not a Business Day, the payment scheduled to be made on the Final Legal Maturity Date shall be made on the succeeding Business Day without the payment of Additional Interest.

 

Section 2.6                                    Minimum Denominations.  Each class of Notes shall be issued in minimum denominations of $250,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof.  After issuance, any Note may fail to be in such required minimum denomination due to the repayment

 

18











 

of principal thereof in accordance with the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date or as a result of one or more Optional Redemptions or Mandatory Tax Redemptions.  If scheduled interest is added to the principal balance of the Notes on any Payment Date that occurs during the Interest Deferral Period pursuant to Section 3.7(a), the scheduled interest added to the principal balance of the Notes will be rounded upward or downward if necessary to the nearest $1.00 in order to maintain the integral multiple of $1.00 in excess of the minimum denomination of the Notes.

 

Section 2.7                                    Transfer and Exchange; Cancellation.  The Notes are issuable only in fully registered form without coupons.  A Noteholder or a Beneficial Holder may transfer a Note or a Beneficial Interest therein only by written application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of this Indenture.  No such transfer shall be effected until, and such proposed transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Noteholder or a Beneficial Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar.

 

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of a Note and satisfaction of the requirements specified in the last sentence of the preceding paragraph, the Issuer and the Trustee may deem and treat the applicable registered Noteholder as the absolute owner and holder of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to such Note and for all other purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.  The Registrar (if different from the Trustee) shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing and the Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of each request for a registration of transfer of a Note by furnishing the Issuer a copy of such request.

 

Furthermore, any Noteholder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that, subject to Section 2.10(b) and Section 2.11, transfers of Beneficial Interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Noteholder of such Global Note (or its agent) and that ownership of a Beneficial Interest in such Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book-entry system.  When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met (including, in the case of a transfer, that such Notes are duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and Registrar duly executed by the Noteholder thereof or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Noteholder).  To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request.  Except as set forth in Section 2.8 and Section 2.9, no service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of the Notes.

 

The Registrar shall not be required to exchange or register the transfer of any Notes as above provided during the 15-day period preceding the Final Legal Maturity Date of any such Notes or following any notice of Redemption or Mandatory Tax Redemption or Refinancing of Notes in respect of the portion of the Notes being so redeemed or refinanced.  The Registrar shall not be required to exchange or register the transfer of any Notes that have been selected, called or are being called for Redemption or Mandatory Tax Redemption or Refinancing except, in the

 

19











 

case of any Notes where written notice has been given that such Notes are to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed.

 

Any Person (including the Issuer) at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and destroy in accordance with its customary practices in effect from time to time (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) any such Notes, together with any other Notes surrendered to it for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.  The Issuer may not issue new Notes (other than Refinancing Notes issued in connection with any Refinancing) to replace Notes it (or any other Person) has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

 

Section 2.8                                    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.  If any Note shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer shall, upon the written request of the Noteholder thereof and presentation of the Note or satisfactory evidence of destruction, loss or theft thereof to the Trustee or Registrar, issue, and the Trustee shall authenticate and the Trustee or Registrar shall deliver in exchange therefor or in replacement thereof, a new Note, payable to such Noteholder in the same principal amount, of the same maturity, with the same payment schedule, bearing the same interest rate and dated the date of its authentication.  If the Note being replaced has become mutilated, such Note shall be surrendered to the Trustee or the Registrar and forwarded to the Issuer by the Trustee or such Registrar.  If the Note being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the Noteholder thereof shall furnish to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Registrar (a) such security or indemnity as may be required by the Issuer, the Trustee and the Registrar to save each of them harmless and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Registrar of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof (an affidavit from any QIB being satisfactory evidence).  The Noteholders shall be required to pay any Tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection with such exchange or replacement and any other expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Registrar) connected therewith.

 

Section 2.9                                    Payments of Transfer Taxes.  Upon the transfer of any Note or Notes pursuant to Section 2.7, the Issuer or the Trustee may require from the party requesting such new Note or Notes payment of a sum to reimburse the Issuer or the Trustee for, or to provide funds for the payment of, any transfer Tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

Section 2.10                             Book-Entry Provisions.

 

(a)                                 Global Notes shall (i) be registered in the name of the Clearing Agency or a nominee of the Clearing Agency, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Clearing Agency and (iii) bear the Legend (as applicable).  In accordance with the requirements of the Clearing Agency, the Issuer shall cause the Trustee to authenticate an additional Global Note or additional Global Notes in the appropriate principal amount such that no Global Note may exceed an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000 at any time.

 

Members of, or participants in, the Clearing Agency (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Clearing Agency, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under such Global Note, and the Clearing

 

20











 

Agency may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.

 

Whenever notice or other communication to the Noteholders or Beneficial Holders of any class of Global Notes is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued pursuant to Section 2.10(b), the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Noteholders and Beneficial Holders of such class of Global Notes to the Clearing Agency, and shall make available additional copies as requested by Agent Members, in each case to the extent that the Trustee shall have been provided with a copy of a Confidentiality Agreement executed and delivered to the Registrar by such Noteholders or Beneficial Holders.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Clearing Agency or impair, as between the Clearing Agency and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Noteholder under any Global Note.  Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay by the Clearing Agency in identifying the Agent Members in respect of the Global Notes, and the Issuer and the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, instructions from the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of any Global Notes to be issued).

 

(b)                                 Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but not in part, to the Clearing Agency, its successors or their respective nominees.  Interests of Agent Members in a Global Note may be transferred in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and the provisions of Section 2.11.  Except as set forth in Section 2.11(a), Definitive Notes shall be issued to the individual Agent Members or Beneficial Holders or their nominees in exchange for their Beneficial Interests in a Global Note with respect to any class of Notes only if (i) the Issuer advises the Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as depositary with respect to such class of Notes and the Trustee or the Issuer is unable to appoint a qualified successor within ninety (90) days of such notice or (ii) during the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to such class of Notes, any Noteholder requests that all or a portion of a Global Note be exchanged for a Definitive Note.  Upon the occurrence of any event described in the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall notify all affected Noteholders of such class, through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes of such class; provided, however, that in no event shall the Temporary Regulation S Global Note be exchanged for Definitive Notes prior to the later of (x) the termination of the Restricted Period and (y) the date of receipt by the Issuer of any certificates determined by it to be required pursuant to Rule 903 or 904 under the Securities Act.  Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Global Notes of such class held by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration of Definitive Notes, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Definitive Notes of such class to the Agent Members and Beneficial Holders of such class or their nominees in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency.

 

21












 

None of the Issuer, the Registrar, the Transfer Agent, the Paying Agent or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such registration instructions.  Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes of such class, the Trustee shall recognize the Persons in whose name the Definitive Notes are registered in the Register as Noteholders hereunder.  Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be liable if the Trustee or the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor to the Clearing Agency.

 

(c)                                  Any Beneficial Interest in one of the Global Notes as to any class that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note shall, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in such other Global Note and, accordingly, shall thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to Beneficial Interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest.

 

(d)                                 Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.10(b) shall bear the Legend applicable to a Global Note.

 

Section 2.11                             Special Transfer Provisions.

(h)                                 By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Legend, each Noteholder of such Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in the Legend and agrees that it shall transfer such Note (or the Beneficial Interest therein) only as provided in this Indenture and in accordance with the Legend, including the requirement that each purchaser of a Beneficial Interest in the Notes and each subsequent transferee shall not be a Restricted Party.  The Registrar shall not register or reflect on its books and records a transfer of any Note (or any Beneficial Interest therein) unless such transfer complies with the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in accordance with the Legend.  In connection with any transfer of Notes (or Beneficial Interests therein), each Noteholder (or Beneficial Holder) agrees by its acceptance of the Notes (or Beneficial Interests therein) to furnish the Trustee the certifications and legal opinions (if requested and required pursuant hereto) described herein to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided, that the Trustee shall not be required to determine (but may rely on a determination made by the Issuer with respect to) the sufficiency of any such legal opinions.

 

(i)                                     The Notes shall be issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

The Issuer shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Trustee.

 

(k)                                 After the Closing Date with respect to the Original Notes (or the date of issuance with respect to any Subordinated Notes or any Refinancing Notes), forms of Confidentiality Agreements shall be available to Noteholders, Agent Members and Beneficial Holders and proposed transferees of the Notes (or the Beneficial Interests therein) from the Registrar, initially at the Corporate Trust Office.  The Registrar shall promptly, but in any event no later than two Business Days after receipt thereof, furnish the Trustee, the Issuer and the Servicer with a copy of each executed Confidentiality Agreement received by the Registrar.

(l)                                     Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Indenture to the contrary, any Noteholder or Beneficial Holder may assign a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of the Notes or Beneficial Interest held by it to a lender or a trustee or collateral agent (or other similar representative) that delivers to the Trustee a Confidentiality Agreement or a written certification in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee that it is not a Restricted Party under any indenture, loan agreement or other similar agreement to which such Noteholder or Beneficial Holder or any of its Affiliates is party in support of any obligations of such Noteholder or Beneficial Holder or Affiliate or holders of securities or other obligations issued by such Noteholder or Beneficial Holder or Affiliate; provided, that no such assignment or pledge shall release the assigning or pledging Noteholder or Beneficial Holder from its obligations hereunder; provided, further, that the transfer of all or any portion of the Notes or the Beneficial Interest to the lender or trustee or collateral agent (or other similar representative) or any other Person shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer of the Notes or a Beneficial Interest set forth in this Indenture.

 

(m)                             Each purchaser of the Notes will be deemed to have represented and warranted by its purchase of the Notes (including any interest in a Note) that either (i) it is not a Plan and is not acting on behalf of a Plan or using Plan Assets to purchase such Notes or (ii) it is a Plan or is acting on behalf of a Plan or using Plan Assets to purchase such Notes but the purchase and holding of such Notes will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code by reason of the application of one or more statutory or administrative exemptions or otherwise and will not constitute or result in a violation of any Similar Laws.

 

(n)                                 The Global Notes shall be exchangeable in their entirety for one or more definitive notes in registered form, without interest coupons (collectively, the “Definitive Notes”) pursuant to Section 2.10(b) and this Section 2.11(n) in accordance with their terms and, upon complete exchange thereof, such Global Notes shall be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation.  For avoidance of doubt, the Retained Notes are Definitive Notes.  Definitive Notes of any class shall be freely transferable and exchangeable for Definitive Notes of the same class at the office of the Trustee or the office of the Registrar upon compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture.  In the case of a transfer of only part of a holding of Definitive Notes, a new Definitive Note shall be issued to the transferee in respect of the part transferred and a new Definitive Note in respect of the balance of the holding not transferred shall be issued to the transferor and may be obtained at the office of the Registrar.

 

(o)                                 Other than as permitted by the U.S. Credit Risk Retention Rules, neither the Transferor nor any of its Affiliates may sell, transfer or hedge the Retained Notes during the Risk Retention Period; provided that the Risk Retention Period will end with respect to the Notes immediately upon the earlier of the time at which no Notes are outstanding and such time as the “sponsor” (as defined under the U.S. Credit Risk Retention Rules) of the offer and sale of the Notes, in its capacity as sponsor of such offer and sale, is no longer required by the U.S. Credit Risk Retention Rules to retain an economic interest in the Notes.

 

(p)                                 Any transfer in violation of the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall be void ab initio.

Section 2.12                             Temporary Definitive Notes.  Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes of any class, the Issuer may execute and the Trustee may authenticate and deliver temporary Definitive Notes of such class that are printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in any denomination, containing substantially the same terms and provisions as are set forth in the applicable Exhibit or in any indenture supplemental hereto, except for such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations relating to their temporary nature as a Responsible Officer of the Issuer executing such temporary Definitive Notes may determine, as evidenced by his or her execution of such temporary Definitive Notes.

 

If temporary Definitive Notes of any class are issued, the Issuer shall cause such Definitive Notes of such class to be prepared without unreasonable delay.  After the preparation of Definitive Notes of such class, the temporary Definitive Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of such temporary Definitive Notes at the Corporate Trust Office, without charge to the Noteholder thereof.  Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Definitive Notes of any class, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor Definitive Notes of like class, in authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amounts.  Until so exchanged, such temporary Definitive Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.

THE ISSUER SHALL, PROMPTLY AFTER DISCOVERY BY THE ISSUER THAT SUCH PERSON IS A NON-PERMITTED HOLDER OR UPON NOTICE TO THE ISSUER FROM THE TRUSTEE (IF A RESPONSIBLE OFFICER OF THE TRUSTEE OBTAINS ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE WHO, IN EACH CASE, AGREE TO NOTIFY THE ISSUER UPON OBTAINING ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE, IF ANY), SEND NOTICE TO SUCH NON-PERMITTED HOLDER DEMANDING THAT SUCH NON-PERMITTED HOLDER TRANSFER THE BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN THE NOTES HELD BY SUCH NON-PERMITTED HOLDER TO A PERSON THAT IS NOT A NON-PERMITTED HOLDER WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF SUCH NOTICE.

Each Refinancing Note shall be designated generally as a Note for all purposes under this Indenture, with such further designations added or incorporated in such title as specified in the related Resolution and set forth in any indenture supplemental hereto providing for the issuance of such Notes or specified in the form of such Notes, as the case may be.

The proceeds of each sale of Refinancing Notes shall be used to the extent necessary to make the deposit required by Section 3.9 and to pay such Refinancing Expenses.  Subject to Section 3.9(b), once a notice of a Redemption in respect of any Refinancing is published in accordance with Section 3.9(a), each class of Notes to which such notice applies shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date stated in such notice at their Redemption Price.

The proceeds of each sale of such Subordinated Notes shall be used to make the deposit required by Section 3.9, to the extent applicable, to pay such Transaction Expenses and/or for such other purposes, if any, as shall be specified in the Resolution authorizing the issuance of such Subordinated Notes.  Subject to Section 3.9(b), once a notice of Redemption in respect of any Subordinated Note Issuance is published in accordance with Section 3.9(a), each class of Notes to which such notice applies shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date stated in such notice at their Redemption Price.

Section 2.19                             Non-Permitted Holders.

 

(a)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere herein, any sale or transfer of a Note or a Beneficial Interest to (i) a Person that is not a QIB/QP (other than an initial purchaser of the Notes that is both an Institutional Accredited Investor and a Qualified Purchaser holding a Beneficial Interest in the IAI Global Note), (ii) any other Person that did not acquire the Note or the Beneficial Interest in an offshore transaction in accordance with Regulation S or (iii) a Person that is a Restricted Party (any such Person described in clauses (i) through (iii) being referred to herein as a “Non-Permitted Holder”) shall be null and void ab initio for all purposes of this Indenture and the Notes.  Any such purported transfer of which the Issuer or the Trustee shall have notice may be disregarded by the Issuer and the Trustee for all purposes under this Indenture.

 

(b)                                 If any Person is a Non-Permitted Holder, the Issuer shall, promptly after the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Issuer or the Trustee that such Person is a Non-Permitted Holder (for which purpose the Trustee shall deliver written notice to the Issuer if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge that any Person is a Non-Permitted Holder), send written notice to such Non-Permitted Holder directing such Non-Permitted Holder to transfer its beneficial interest in the Note to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted Holder within

 

40











 

thirty (30) days of the date of such written notice.  If such Non-Permitted Holder fails to so transfer the Beneficial Interest in the Notes within such thirty (30) day period, the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted Holder, to sell the Beneficial Interest in the Notes to a purchaser or purchasers selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose.  The Issuer may select the purchaser or purchasers by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Notes and sell such Notes to the highest such bidder.  However, the Issuer may select the purchaser or purchasers by any other means determined by it in its sole discretion.  The Beneficial Holder of each Note, the Non-Permitted Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Beneficial Holder to the Non-Permitted Holder, by its acceptance of a Beneficial Interest in the Notes, agree to cooperate with the Issuer and the Trustee to effect such transfers.  The proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale, shall be remitted to the Non-Permitted Holder.  The terms and conditions of any sale under this sub-section shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be liable to any Person having a Beneficial Interest in the Notes sold as a result of any such sale or the exercise of such discretion.

 

(c)                                  Each initial purchaser of the Notes on the Closing Date shall provide a certification that it is not a Restricted Party.  If any Restricted Party owns any interest in the Notes on or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, such Restricted Party shall not be entitled to participate in the exercise of remedies or receive any payments or distributions resulting from the exercise of remedies associated with the Event of Default.  The Trustee shall request that each Noteholder or Beneficial Holder provide a certification in the form attached as Exhibit H to this Indenture that it is not a Restricted Party or otherwise a Non-Permitted Holder prior to the exercise of remedies following an Event of Default.  The restriction set forth in this subsection may not be waived or amended.

Section 3.1                                    Establishment of Accounts.

 

(a)                                 Pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall cause the Servicer, acting on behalf of the Issuer, to establish and maintain with the Trustee on its books and records in the name of the Issuer for the benefit of the Secured Parties, subject to the Lien of this Indenture, (i) a collection account (the “Collection Account”) and (ii) any additional accounts the establishment of which is set forth in a Resolution delivered by the Issuer to the Servicer and the Trustee, in each case at such time as is set forth in this Section 3.1 or in such Resolution.  Each Account shall be established and maintained as an Eligible Account so as to create, perfect and establish the priority of the Liens established under this Indenture in such Account and all cash, Eligible Investments and other property from time to time deposited therein and otherwise to effectuate the Liens under this Indenture.

 

(b)                                 If, at any time, any Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Issuer shall cause the Servicer or an agent thereof to, within ten Business Days, establish a new Account meeting the conditions set forth in this Section 3.1 in respect of such Account and transfer any cash or investments in the existing Account to such new Account, and, from the date

 

41











 

such new Account is established, it shall have the same designation as the existing Account.  If the Trustee should change at any time, then the Issuer shall cause the Servicer, acting on behalf of the Issuer, to thereupon promptly establish replacement Accounts as necessary at the successor Trustee and transfer the balance of funds in each Account then maintained at the former Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement to such successor Trustee.

 

(c)                                  The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to maintain the Collection Account at the Trustee not later than the Closing Date.  The Collection Account shall bear a designation clearly indicating that the funds or other assets deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Trustee.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all Class C Distributions shall be deposited to the Collection Account and transferred therefrom in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement and this Indenture.

 

Section 3.2                                    Investments of Cash.

 

(a)                                 So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer (on behalf of the Issuer) may direct the Trustee in writing to invest and reinvest the funds on deposit in the Collection Account in Eligible Investments, to the extent such Eligible Investments are available to the Trustee, and advise the Trustee in writing of any depositary institution or trust company described in the proviso to the definition of Eligible Investments; provided, however, that, so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall invest such amount in Eligible Investments described in clause (a) of the definition thereof from the time of receipt thereof until such time as such amounts are required to be distributed pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.  In the absence of written direction delivered to the Trustee from the Servicer, the Trustee shall invest any funds in Eligible Investments described in clause (a) of the definition thereof.  The Trustee shall make such investments and reinvestments in accordance with the terms of the following provisions:

 

(i)                                     the Eligible Investments shall have maturities and other terms such that sufficient funds shall be available to make required payments pursuant to this Indenture on the Business Day preceding the first succeeding scheduled Payment Date after such investment is made;

 

(ii)                                  if any funds to be invested are received in the Accounts after 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, such funds shall, if possible, be invested in overnight Eligible Investments;

 

(iii)                               all interest and earnings on Eligible Investments held in the Accounts shall be invested in Eligible Investments on an overnight basis and credited to the appropriate Account until the next Payment Date; and

 

(iv)                              the Issuer acknowledges that regulations of the U.S. Comptroller of the Currency grant the Issuer the right to receive confirmations of security transactions as they occur, and the Issuer specifically waives receipt of such confirmations to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and acknowledges that the Trustee shall instead furnish monthly cash transaction statements that shall detail all investment transactions as set forth in this Indenture.

(b)                                 Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the net investment income earned from the investment of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account in Eligible Investments in the manner provided in this Section 3.2 shall be deposited by the Trustee to the Collection Account and transferred therefrom in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement and this Indenture.

(ii)                                  to the Transferor, in accordance with the Sale and Contribution Agreement, the amount by which the Note Purchase Price exceeds the sum of such Transaction Expenses.

 

(b)                                 On the date of issuance of any Subordinated Notes or any Refinancing Notes, the Trustee shall, subject to the receipt of written direction from the Issuer and upon receipt of the proceeds of the sale of such Notes, make such payments and transfers as shall be specified in this Indenture, the related Resolution and any indenture supplemental hereto in respect of such Notes, copies of which Resolution and indenture supplemental hereto shall be attached to such written direction.

 

(c)                                  The Trustee shall hold all funds received on or prior to the Closing Date from the Note Purchasers in trust for the Note Purchasers pending the Closing Date.  Upon receipt by the Trustee of the aggregate Note Purchase Price (as identified in the Issuer’s written direction pursuant to Section 3.3(a)) from all Note Purchasers, the Trustee shall disburse the Note Purchase Price in accordance with this Section 3.3.  If the aggregate Note Purchase Price shall not have been received by the Trustee by 3:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date, or if the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreements shall not otherwise be capable of being consummated by 3:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date, then each Note Purchaser who has paid its respective portion of the Note Purchase Price shall have the right to instruct the Trustee in writing at or after 3:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date to return such portion of the Note Purchase Price to such Note Purchaser prior to the close of business on the Closing Date or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable.

(c)           If there are insufficient funds to pay the accrued and unpaid interest on the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) in full on any Payment Date following the Interest Deferral Period (including any accrued and unpaid interest due on prior Payment Dates and not previously paid, and any accrued and unpaid interest on such unpaid interest), the shortfall in interest shall accrue interest to the extent legally enforceable at the Note Interest Rate compounded quarterly.  If such unpaid shortfall (and interest thereon) in the case of any Payment Date other than the Final Legal Maturity Date is not paid in full on or prior to the Payment Date following the Payment Date on which such interest was first payable, an Event of Default shall occur on such succeeding Payment Date (but not before such date).

(b)           Subject to the provisions of Section 3.8(c) and Section 3.9, on any Redemption Date (and, if such Redemption Date is a Payment Date, to the extent that any class of Notes shall remain Outstanding after application of Section 3.6 and Section 3.7), the Issuer

may optionally redeem such class of Notes, in whole, but not in part, out of the proceeds of any Refinancing Notes, or, in whole or in part, out of amounts available in the Collection Account for such purpose, if any, including the proceeds of any Subordinated Notes, in each case, at the Redemption Price (any such redemption, an “Optional Redemption”).  The Issuer shall give written notice of any such Optional Redemption to the Trustee and the Servicer not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which notice is to be given to Noteholders in accordance with Section 3.9(a) (unless the Trustee and any such Servicer agree to waive or limit the requirement for such notice).  Such written notice to the Trustee shall include a copy of the Resolution authorizing such Optional Redemption and shall set forth the relevant information regarding such Optional Redemption, including the information to be included in the notice given pursuant to Section 3.9(a).

 

(c)           An indenture supplemental hereto providing for the issuance of any Subordinated Notes or Refinancing Notes may authorize one or more redemptions, in whole or in part, of such Notes, on such terms and subject to such conditions as shall be specified in such indenture supplemental hereto; provided, that, while any Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) are Outstanding, the Issuer may redeem the Subordinated Notes solely with monies that are received by the Issuer pursuant to Section 3.7(b)(ii).

 

(d)           The application of the Class C Distributions (as part of the Available Collections Amount), together with the investment earnings on funds on deposit in the Collection Account to principal payments on any Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) pursuant to the Priority of Payments shall not be treated as an Optional Redemption under this Indenture.  A Mandatory Tax Redemption of the Original Notes will also not be treated as an Optional Redemption under this Indenture.

 

(e)           If the Issuer determines that the Original Notes would otherwise constitute “applicable high yield discount obligations” within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Code, at the end of each accrual period ending on or after the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the Original Notes (each, an “AHYDO Redemption Date”), the Issuer shall be required to redeem for cash a portion of each Original Note then Outstanding equal to the “mandatory principal redemption amount” (such redemption, a “Mandatory Tax Redemption”).  The redemption price for the portion of each Original Note redeemed pursuant to a Mandatory Tax Redemption shall be 100% of the principal amount of such portion plus any accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption without payment of a prepayment penalty.  The “mandatory principal redemption amount” means the portion of an Original Note required to be redeemed to prevent such Original Note from being treated as an “applicable high yield discount obligation” within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Code.  No partial redemption of the Original Notes prior to any AHYDO Redemption Date pursuant to any other provision of this Indenture shall alter the Issuer’s obligations to make the Mandatory Tax Redemption with respect to any Original Notes that remain Outstanding on any AHYDO Redemption Date.  The Issuer shall deliver written notice in respect of any Mandatory Tax Redemption to each Noteholder at least five (5) Business Days but not more than thirty (30) days before the date scheduled for redemption, which written notice shall be delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for the Trustee to deliver to the Noteholders at the sole cost and expense of the Issuer through DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream for the Beneficial Holders and by regular mail, postage prepaid for the Noteholders holding Definitive Notes.  For

 

49











 

the avoidance of doubt, a Mandatory Tax Redemption shall not be subject to the procedures that apply to an Optional Redemption set forth in Section 3.9.

 

Section 3.9            Procedure for Redemptions.

 

(a)           The Issuer shall deliver written notice in respect of any Redemption of any class of Notes under Section 3.8 to each Noteholder at least five (5) Business Days (in case of an Optional Redemption in whole) or three (3) Business Days (in case of an Optional Redemption in part of the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes)) but not more than 30 days before the date scheduled for such redemption, which written notice shall be delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Trustee) prior to the date on which such notice is required to be delivered to Noteholders, for the Trustee to deliver to the Noteholders at the sole cost and expense of the Issuer through DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream for the Beneficial Holders and by regular mail, postage prepaid for the Noteholders holding Definitive Notes.  Each notice in respect of a Redemption given pursuant to this Section 3.9(a) shall state (i) the expected applicable Redemption Date, (ii) the projected Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed, (iii) in the case of a Redemption of the Notes in part, the portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes that is expected to be redeemed, (iv) that the Notes to be redeemed in a Redemption in whole must be surrendered (which action may be taken by any Noteholder or its authorized agent) to the Trustee to collect the Redemption Price on such Notes, (v) that, unless the Issuer fails to pay the Redemption Price, interest on the Notes called for Redemption in whole shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date and (vi) if such Redemption is conditional upon the occurrence of any event or condition, including the issuance and sale of Subordinated Notes or Refinancing Notes, such event or condition.  If mailed in the manner herein provided, the notice shall be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not the Noteholder receives such notice.

 

(b)           If, at the time of the delivery of any notice in respect of a Redemption, the Issuer shall not have irrevocably directed the Trustee to apply funds then on deposit with the Trustee or held by the Issuer and available to be used for such Redemption to redeem all of the Notes called for Redemption, such notice, at the election of the Issuer, may state that such Redemption is conditional upon the occurrence of any event, including the receipt of the redemption moneys in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and Premium, if any, and interest on the Notes being redeemed and related Transaction Expenses by the Trustee on or before the Redemption Date and that such notice shall be of no force and effect, and the Issuer shall not be required to redeem such Notes, unless such event has occurred.

 

(c)           If notice in respect of a Redemption for any Notes shall have been given as provided in Section 3.9(a) and such notice shall not contain the language permitted at the Issuer’s option under Section 3.9(b), such Notes shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Corporate Trust Office at the applicable Redemption Price, and, unless there is a default in the payment of the applicable Redemption Price, interest on such Notes shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date.  Upon presentation and surrender of such Notes at the Corporate Trust Office, such Notes shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable Redemption Price.  On or before any Redemption Date in respect of such a Redemption, the Issuer shall, to the extent an amount equal to the Redemption Price of such Notes (and any

 

50











 

Transaction Expenses relating thereto as of the Redemption Date) is not then held by the Issuer or on deposit in the Collection Account, deposit or cause to be deposited into the Collection Account an amount in immediately available funds so that the total amount in the Collection Account shall be sufficient to pay such Redemption Price (and any Transaction Expenses relating thereto as of the Redemption Date).

 

(d)           If notice in respect of a Redemption for any Notes shall have been given as provided in Section 3.9(a) and such notice shall contain the language permitted at the Issuer’s option under Section 3.9(b), such Notes shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Corporate Trust Office at the applicable Redemption Price and interest on such Notes shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date; provided, that, in each case, the Issuer shall have deposited in the Collection Account on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date an amount sufficient to pay the Redemption Price (and any Transaction Expenses relating thereto as of the Redemption Date).  Upon the Issuer making such deposit and presentation and surrender of such Notes at the Corporate Trust Office, such Notes shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable Redemption Price.  If the Issuer shall not make such deposit on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date, the notice in respect of Redemption shall be of no force and effect, and the principal on such Notes or specified portions thereof shall continue to bear interest as if such notice in respect of Redemption had not been given.

 

(e)           All Notes that are redeemed shall be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation and may not be reissued or resold.

 

Section 3.10          Additional Capital Contributions from the Issuer to TRC LLC.  Each Noteholder shall be deemed to acknowledge and agree by its acceptance of its interest in the Notes, and each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that (i) if there is a negative net cash flow forecast for TRC LLC for a particular fiscal quarter, Innoviva, as the manager of TRC LLC pursuant to the TRC LLC Agreement, has the right to request the members of TRC LLC to each make a capital contribution in the amount of its proportionate share of such shortfall based on its respective ownership interest and (ii) the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, is permitted to withdraw the amount requested of the Issuer, as a member of TRC LLC, from the Collection Account to pay the specified amount of such required capital contribution in respect of the Issuer Class C Units.

Section 4.2            Acceleration, Rescission and Annulment.

 

(a)           If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes (other than an Acceleration Default) occurs and is continuing, the Controlling Party or the Senior Trustee may, and, upon the Direction of the Controlling Party, shall, give an Acceleration Notice to the Issuer; provided, that such Direction shall be void ab initio unless the Controlling Party delivers a certification that none of the Noteholders that are seeking acceleration of the Notes and the liquidation of the Collateral is a Restricted Party.  Upon delivery of such an Acceleration Notice (and so long as such Acceleration Notice has not been rescinded and annulled pursuant to this Indenture), the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be immediately due and payable.  At any time after the Senior Trustee or such Noteholders have so declared the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes to be immediately due and payable, and prior to the exercise of any other remedies pursuant to this Article IV, the Senior Trustee, upon the Direction of the Controlling Party, shall, subject to Section 4.5(a), by written notice to the Issuer, rescind and annul such declaration and thereby annul its consequences if (i) there has been paid to or deposited with the Trustee an amount sufficient to pay all overdue installments of interest on the Notes, and the principal of, and Premium, if any, on, the Notes that would have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, (ii) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and (iii) all other Defaults and Events of Default, other than non-payment of interest and Premium, if any, on and principal of the Notes that have become due solely because of such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived.  If an Acceleration Default occurs, the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall automatically become immediately due and payable without any further action by any party.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding this Section 4.2, Section 4.3 and Section 4.12, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, no Noteholders of any class of Notes other than the Senior Class of Notes shall be permitted to give or direct the giving of an Acceleration Notice, or to exercise any remedy in respect of such Event of Default, and no Person other than the Senior Trustee, acting at the Direction of the Controlling Party, may give an Acceleration Notice or exercise any such remedy.

 

(c)           Within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of any class of Notes, the Trustee shall give to the Noteholders notice of all uncured or unwaived Defaults actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee on such date; provided, that the Trustee may withhold such notice with respect to a Default (other than a payment default with respect to interest, principal or Premium, if any) if it determines in good faith that withholding such notice is in the interest of the affected Noteholders.

 

Section 4.3            Other Remedies.  Subject to the provisions of this Indenture and the Pledge and Security Agreement, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Senior Trustee may, but only at the Direction of the Controlling Party, pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal, Premium, if any, or

 

54











 

interest due on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes, this Indenture, the Sale and Contribution Agreement, the Servicing Agreement, the Pledge and Security Agreement or the Account Control Agreement, including any of the following, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, subject to the receipt of such Direction:

 

(a)           The Senior Trustee may obtain the appointment of a Receiver of the Collateral as provided in Section 12.7 and the Issuer consents to and waives any right to notice of any such appointment; provided, that the Receiver shall not be a Restricted Party.

 

(b)           The Senior Trustee may, without notice to the Issuer and at such time as the Senior Trustee in its sole discretion may determine, exercise any or all of the Issuer’s rights in, to and under or in any way connected with or related to any or all of the Collateral, including (i) demanding and enforcing payment and performance of, and exercising any or all of the Issuer’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection, enforcement or prosecution of, any or all of the Collateral (including the Issuer’s rights under the Sale and Contribution Agreement), in each case by legal proceedings or otherwise, (ii) settling, adjusting, compromising, extending, renewing, discharging and releasing any or all of, and any legal proceedings brought to collect or enforce any or all of, the Collateral and otherwise under the Transaction Documents and (iii) preparing, filing and signing the name of the Issuer on (A) any proof of claim or similar document to be filed in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving the Collateral and (B) any notice of lien, assignment or satisfaction of lien, or similar document in connection with the Collateral; provided, that under no circumstance, including the occurrence of an Event of Default, shall the Senior Trustee or the Noteholders (i) be a party or third party beneficiary of the GSK Agreements or (ii) be able to assert a claim against any Person under the GSK Agreements.

 

(c)           Subject to the Account Control Agreement and the Pledge and Security Agreement (including the provisions of Section 11.1 of the Pledge and Security Agreement), the Senior Trustee may, without notice except as specified herein, and as required by Applicable Law, in accordance with Applicable Law, sell or cause the sale of all or any part of the Collateral in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Senior Trustee’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Senior Trustee may deem commercially reasonable; provided, that under no circumstance, including the occurrence of an Event of Default, shall the Senior Trustee or the Noteholders (i) be a party or third party beneficiary of the GSK Agreements or (ii) be able to assert a claim against any Person under the GSK Agreements; provided, further, that under no circumstance, including the occurrence of a Voluntary Bankruptcy or Involuntary Bankruptcy of the Issuer, shall the Senior Trustee sell or cause the sale of all or any part of the Collateral to a Restricted Party.

 

(d)           The Issuer agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by Applicable Law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to the Issuer of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.  The Senior Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale of all or any part of the Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  The Senior Trustee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

 

55











 

(e)           The Senior Trustee may, instead of exercising the power of sale conferred upon it by Section 4.3(c) and Applicable Law, proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the Security Interest and sell all or any portion of the Collateral under a judgment or a decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, provided, that, so long as the GSK Agreements or the Master Agreement remains in force, the Senior Trustee shall make any such foreclosure sale only to a Person that is a Permitted Holder.

 

(f)            The Senior Trustee may require the Issuer to, and the Issuer hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and upon request of the Senior Trustee, forthwith assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Senior Trustee and make it available to the Senior Trustee at a place to be designated by the Senior Trustee that is reasonably convenient to both parties.

 

(g)           In addition to the rights and remedies provided for in this Indenture, the Senior Trustee may exercise in respect of the Collateral all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected property included in the Collateral) and under all other Applicable Law; provided, that, so long as the GSK Agreements, the TRC LLC Agreement or the Master Agreement remains in force, the Senior Trustee shall cause any sale of the Collateral to be made only to a Person that is a Permitted Holder.

 

(h)           The Senior Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.

 

Section 4.4            Limitation on Suits.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 4.9 and the final sentence of Section 12.4, no Noteholder shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, the Pledge and Security Agreement, the Account Control Agreement or the Notes, for the appointment of a Receiver or trustee or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

 

(a)           such Noteholder is a holder of the Senior Class of Notes and has previously given written notice to the Senior Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

 

(b)           the Controlling Party makes a written request to the Senior Trustee to pursue a remedy hereunder;

 

(c)           such Noteholder or Noteholders offer to the Senior Trustee an indemnity satisfactory to the Senior Trustee against any costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;

 

(d)           the Senior Trustee does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity;

 

(e)           during such 60-day period, the Controlling Party does not give the Senior Trustee a Direction inconsistent with such request; and

 

(f)            such Noteholder is not a Restricted Party.

 

56












 

No one or more Noteholders may use this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of another Noteholder or to obtain or seek to obtain any preference or priority not otherwise created by this Indenture and the terms of the Notes over any other Noteholder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.

 

Section 4.5            Waiver of Existing Defaults.

 

(a)           The Senior Trustee, upon the Direction of the Controlling Party, by written notice to the Issuer may waive any existing Default (or Event of Default) hereunder and its consequences, except a Default (or Event of Default) (i) in the payment of the interest on, principal of and Premium, if any, on any Note or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Noteholder of each Note affected thereby.  Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default (or Event of Default) or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

(b)           Any written waiver of a Default or an Event of Default given by the Senior Trustee to the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Indenture shall be binding upon the Senior Trustee and the other parties hereto.  Unless such writing expressly provides to the contrary, any waiver so granted shall extend only to the specific event or occurrence that gave rise to the Default or Event of Default so waived and not to any other similar event or occurrence that occurs subsequent to the date of such waiver.

 

Section 4.6            Restoration of Rights and Remedies.  If the Senior Trustee or any Noteholder of the Senior Class of Notes (excluding any Noteholder that is a Restricted Party) has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture, and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Senior Trustee or such Noteholder, then in every such case the Issuer, the Senior Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Senior Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted.

 

Section 4.7            Remedies Cumulative.  Each and every right, power and remedy herein given to the Trustee specifically or otherwise in this Indenture shall be cumulative and shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Trustee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy.  No delay or omission by the Trustee in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuance of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default on the part of the Issuer or to be an acquiescence.

 

57











 

Section 4.8            Authority of Courts Not Required.  The parties hereto agree that, to the greatest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Trustee shall not be obliged or required to seek or obtain the authority of, or any judgment or order of, the courts of any jurisdiction in order to exercise any of its rights, powers and remedies under this Indenture, and the parties hereby waive any such requirement to the greatest extent permitted by Applicable Law.

 

Section 4.9            Rights of Noteholders to Receive Payment.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Noteholder to receive payment of interest on, principal of, or Premium, if any, on any Note on or after the respective due dates therefor expressed in such Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Noteholder unless such Noteholder is a Restricted Party.

 

Section 4.10          Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.  The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of any Noteholder allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to any obligor on the Notes, its creditors or its property.

 

Section 4.11          Undertaking for Costs.  All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Noteholder by its acceptance hereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defense made by the party litigant.  This Section 4.11 does not apply to a suit instituted by the Trustee, a suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of interest, principal, or Premium, if any, on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note or a suit by any Noteholder or Noteholders holding at least 10% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes.

 

Section 4.12          Control by Noteholders.  Subject to this Article IV and to the rights of the Trustee hereunder, the Controlling Party shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust, right or power conferred on the Trustee under any Transaction Document; provided, that:

 

(a)           such Direction shall not be in conflict with any Applicable Law or with this Indenture and would not involve the Trustee in personal liability or unindemnified expense;

 

(b)           the Trustee shall not determine that the action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Noteholders of such class not taking part in such Direction;

 

(c)           the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such Direction;

As to any fact or matter the manner of ascertainment of which is not specifically described herein, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and may for all purposes hereof conclusively rely on a certificate, signed by an officer of any duly authorized Person, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon.  To the extent not otherwise specifically provided herein, the Trustee shall assume, and shall be fully protected in assuming, that the Issuer is authorized by the Issuer Organizational Documents to enter into this Indenture and to take all action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions hereof and shall not be required to inquire into the authorization of the Issuer with respect thereto.  To the extent not otherwise specifically provided herein, the Trustee shall furnish to the Issuer or the Servicer upon written request such information and copies of such documents as the Trustee may have and as are necessary for the Issuer or any such Servicer to perform its duties under Section 3.1 of the Servicing Agreement and Section 2.13 and Article III hereof or otherwise.

The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or Direction of any of the Noteholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby.

 

72











 

The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Indenture or any other Transaction Document shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible or liable for the manner of performance of, any obligations of the Issuer or the Servicer under this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents.

Section 6.8            May Hold Notes.  The Trustee, any Transfer Agent, any Paying Agent, the Registrar or any of their Affiliates or any other agent in their respective individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of the Notes so long as it is not a Restricted Party and, subject to Sections 310(b) and 311 of the Trust Indenture Act (as if the Trust Indenture Act applied to this Indenture), may otherwise deal with the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee, Transfer Agent, Paying Agent, Registrar or such other agent.

 INDEMNITY

 

Section 8.1            Indemnity.  The Issuer shall indemnify and defend the Trustee (and its officers, directors, managers, employees and agents) for, and hold it harmless from and against, and reimburse the Trustee for, any loss, liability or expense incurred by it without gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and its performance of its duties under this Indenture and the Notes or any other Transaction Document, including the costs and expenses of enforcing the provisions of this Section 8.1 and in defending itself against any claim or liability and of complying with any process served upon it or any of its officers in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties, and hold it harmless against any loss, liability or reasonable expense incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted to be taken in reliance on any Officer’s Certificate furnished hereunder, or the failure to furnish any such Officer’s Certificate required to be furnished hereunder.

 MODIFICATION

 

Section 9.1            Modification with Consent of Noteholders.  Subject to Section 3.6(b), with the consent of Noteholders holding a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes (together with any other class of Notes voting or acting as a single class), the Trustee may agree to amend, modify or waive any provision of (or consent to the amendment, modification or waiver of) this Indenture, the Notes or the Pledge and Security Agreement; provided, however, that if there shall be Notes of more than one class Outstanding and if a proposed amendment, modification, consent or waiver shall directly affect the rights of Noteholders of one or more, but less than all, of such classes, then the consent only of the Noteholders holding a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of each affected class of Notes, each voting or acting as a single class, shall be required; provided, further, however, that no such amendment, modification, consent or waiver may, without the consent of Noteholders holding 100% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the class of Notes affected thereby:

 

(a)           reduce the percentage of any such class of Notes required to take or approve any action hereunder or thereunder;

 

(b)           reduce the amount or change the time of payment of any amount owing or payable with respect to any such class of Notes (including pursuant to any Redemption or any Mandatory Tax Redemption) or change the rate of interest or change the manner of calculation of interest payable with respect to any such class of Notes;

 

(c)           alter or modify in any adverse respect the provisions of this Indenture with respect to the Collateral, the provisions of the Pledge and Security Agreement with respect to the Issuer Pledged Collateral or the manner of payment or the order of priority in which payments or distributions hereunder shall be made as between the Noteholders of such Notes and the Issuer or as among the Noteholders (including pursuant to Section 3.6) (except, with respect to Subordinated Notes or as among classes of Subordinated Notes, alterations or modifications to Section 3.6(a)(vii), at the time such Subordinated Notes are established, provided such alterations or modifications do not change the order of priority as between the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) and the Subordinated Notes);

 

(d)           consent to any assignment of the Issuer’s rights to a party other than the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders; or

 

(e)           alter the provisions relating to the Collection Account in a manner adverse to any Noteholder;

 

provided, that the Controlling Party, by written notice to the Trustee, may waive any Default or Event of Default to the extent provided in Section 4.5.

 

80











 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Noteholders under this Section 9.1 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.  Any such modification approved by the required Noteholders of any class of Notes shall be binding on the Noteholders of the relevant class of Notes and each party to this Indenture.

 

After an amendment under this Section 9.1 becomes effective, the Issuer or, at the direction of the Issuer, the Trustee shall mail to the Noteholders a notice briefly describing such amendment.  Any failure of the Issuer or the Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment.

 

After an amendment under this Section 9.1 becomes effective, it shall bind every Noteholder, whether or not notation thereof is made on any Note held by such Noteholder.

 

Section 9.2            Modification Without Consent of Noteholders.  Subject to Section 3.6(b), the Trustee may, without the consent of any Noteholder, agree to amend, modify or waive any provision of (or consent to the amendment, modification or waiver of) this Indenture, the Notes or the Pledge and Security Agreement to:

 

(a)           establish the terms of any Refinancing Notes or Subordinated Notes pursuant to Section 2.15 and Section 2.16, respectively (including, with respect to Subordinated Notes or as among classes of Subordinated Notes, modifications to Section 3.6(a)(vii));

 

(b)           evidence the succession of a successor to the Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Calculation Agent, the removal of the Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Calculation Agent or the appointment of any separate or additional trustee or trustees or co-trustees and to define the rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred upon any such separate trustee or trustees or co-trustees;

 

(c)           correct, confirm or amplify the description of any property at any time subject to the lien of this Indenture or to assign, transfer, convey, mortgage or pledge any property to or with the Trustee;

 

(d)           correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision of this Indenture or the Notes;

(g)           comply with the requirements of the SEC or any other regulatory body or any Applicable Law; or

 

81











 

(h)           effect any indenture supplemental hereto or any other amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent with respect to this Indenture, the Notes or the Pledge and Security Agreement; provided, that such indenture supplemental hereto, amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent shall not adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders in any material respect as confirmed in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer.

 

After an amendment under this Section 9.2 becomes effective, the Issuer or, at the direction of the Issuer, the Trustee shall mail to the Noteholders a notice briefly describing such amendment.  Any failure of the Issuer or the Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment.

 

After an amendment under this Section 9.2 becomes effective, it shall bind every Noteholder, whether or not notation thereof is made on any Note held by such Noteholder.

 

Section 9.3            Subordination; Priority of Payments.  The subordination provisions contained in Article X may not be amended or modified without the consent of Noteholders holding 100% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the class of Notes affected thereby.  In no event shall the provisions set forth in Section 3.6 relating to the priority of payment of Administrative Expenses be amended or modified.

 

Section 9.4            Execution of Amendments by Trustee.  In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any amendment or modification to this Indenture permitted by this Article IX or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.  The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

 

ARTICLE X
 SUBORDINATION

 

Section 10.1          Subordination of the Notes.

 

(a)           Each of the Issuer and the Trustee (on behalf of the Noteholders) covenants and agrees, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note, covenants and agrees, that the Notes of each class shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article X.  Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note, further agrees that all amounts payable on any Note shall, to the extent provided in Section 3.6 and in the manner set forth in this Article X, be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all accrued and unpaid government taxes, filing fees and registration fees to any federal, state or local government entities (excluding in each case federal, state and local income taxes) owed by the Issuer (if any) and all Administrative Expenses payable to the Service Providers pursuant to this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents.  Each Noteholder of a Subordinated Note, by its acceptance of a Subordinated Note, further agrees that all amounts payable on any Subordinated Note shall, to the extent provided in Section 3.6 and in the manner set forth in this Article X, be subordinated in right of payment to the payment in full of the Original Notes (and any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes).  Any claim to payment so stated to be subordinated is referred to

 

82











 

as a “Subordinated Claim”; each claim to payment to which another claim to payment is a Subordinated Claim is referred to as a “Senior Claim” with respect to such Subordinated Claim.

 

(b)           If, prior to the payment in full of all Senior Claims then due and payable, the Trustee or any Noteholder of a Subordinated Claim shall have received any payment or distribution in respect of such Subordinated Claim in excess of the amount to which such Noteholder was then entitled under Section 3.6, then such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust by such Person and paid over or delivered to the Trustee for application as provided in Section 3.6.

 

(c)           If any Service Provider, the Equityholder, the Trustee or any Noteholder of any Senior Claim receives any payment in respect of any Senior Claim that is subsequently invalidated, declared preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or other party, then, to the extent such payment is so invalidated, declared preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid, such Senior Claim shall be revived and continue in full force and effect and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article X, all as if such payment had not been received.

 

(d)           The Trustee (on its own behalf and on behalf of the Noteholders) and the Issuer each confirm that the payment priorities specified in Section 3.6 shall apply in all circumstances.

 

(e)           Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note, authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article X, and appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for such purposes, including, in the event of any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise), any actions tending towards liquidation of the property and assets of the Issuer or the filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of its Notes in the form required in those proceedings.

 

(f)            If payment on the Notes is accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, the Issuer shall promptly notify the holders of the Senior Claims of such acceleration.

 

(g)           After all Senior Claims are paid in full and until the Subordinated Claims are paid in full, and to the extent that such Senior Claims shall have been paid with funds that would, but for the subordination pursuant to this Article X, have been paid to and retained by such holders of Subordinated Claims, the holders of Subordinated Claims shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Claims to receive payments applicable to Senior Claims.  A payment made under this Article X to holders of Senior Claims that otherwise would have been made to the holders of Subordinated Claims is not, as between the Issuer and the holders of Subordinated Claims, a payment by the Issuer.

 

(h)           No right of any holder of any Senior Claim to enforce the subordination of any Subordinated Claim shall be impaired by an act or failure to act by the Issuer or the Trustee or by any failure by either the Issuer or the Trustee to comply with this Indenture.

 

83











 

(i)            Each Noteholder by accepting a Note acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Claim, whether such Senior Claim was created or acquired before or after the issuance of such Noteholder’s claim, to acquire and continue to hold such Senior Claim, and such holder of any Senior Claim shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold such Senior Claim.  Each holder of a Subordinated Claim agrees to comply with the provisions of Article IV.

 

ARTICLE XI
 DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; SURVIVAL

 

Section 11.1          Discharge of Indenture; Survival.

 

(a)           When (i) all outstanding Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnity and expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made) have been satisfied and the Issuer delivers to the Trustee all Outstanding Notes (other than Notes that have been replaced pursuant to Section 2.8) for cancellation or (ii) all Outstanding Notes have become due and payable, whether at maturity or as a result of the mailing of a notice of an Optional Redemption pursuant to Section 3.8(b) or any other Redemption pursuant to Section 3.8(c), in each case that is subject to Section 3.9(c), and the Issuer irrevocably deposits in the Collection Account funds sufficient to pay all remaining Administrative Expenses accrued and payable through such date and to pay all principal of and interest and Premium (if any) on Outstanding Notes at maturity or upon redemption all Outstanding Notes, including interest and any Premium thereon to maturity or the Redemption Date (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.8), and if in either case the Issuer pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 11.1(b), cease to be of further effect and the Security Interest granted to the Trustee hereunder in the Collateral shall terminate.  The Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, file all UCC termination statements and similar documents prepared by the Issuer and take other actions in order to terminate the Security Interest, on demand of the Issuer accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, at the cost and expense of the Issuer, to the effect that any conditions precedent to a discharge of this Indenture have been met.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding Section 11.1(a), the Issuer’s obligations in Section 3.6(b) and Section 8.1, and the Trustee’s obligations in Section 12.13 and Section 12.14 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

 

Section 11.2          Release of Security Interest in Certain Collateral.  Upon distribution or transfer of (a) cash amounts permitted to be distributed or transferred by Article III and (b) cash proceeds from the Notes issued in accordance with this Indenture, the Security Interest in such cash amounts or such cash proceeds, as the case may be, shall terminate, and such item(s) of Collateral shall be released therefrom, immediately upon such distribution or transfer, without any further action by the Trustee; provided, however, that such release shall not apply to any other Collateral.  The Trustee shall, at the expense of the Issuer, acknowledge the termination of any such Security Interest and the release of any such item(s) of Collateral therefrom and take other actions in order to evidence and confirm such termination and release, on demand of the

 

84











 

Issuer accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that any conditions precedent to such termination and release have been met.

 

ARTICLE XII
 MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 12.1          Right of Trustee to Perform.  If the Issuer for any reason fails to observe or punctually to perform any of its obligations to the Trustee, whether under this Indenture, under any of the other Transaction Documents or otherwise, the Trustee shall have the power (but shall have no obligation), on behalf of or in the name of the Issuer or otherwise, to perform such obligations or cause performance of such obligations and to take any steps that the Trustee may, but shall not have the obligation to, in its absolute discretion, consider appropriate with a view to remedying, or mitigating the consequences of, such failure by the Issuer, in which case the reasonable expenses of the Trustee, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel, incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Issuer under Section 8.1; provided, that no exercise or failure to exercise this power by the Trustee shall in any way prejudice the Trustee’s other rights under this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents.

 

Section 12.2          Waiver.  Any waiver by any party of any provision of this Indenture or any right, remedy or option hereunder shall only prevent and estop such party from thereafter enforcing such provision, right, remedy or option if such waiver is given in writing and only as to the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which such waiver was given.  The failure or refusal of any party hereto to insist in any one or more instances, or in a course of dealing, upon the strict performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture by any party hereto or the partial exercise of any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any such term or provision, but the same shall continue in full force and effect.  No failure on the part of the Trustee to exercise, and no delay on its part in exercising, any right or remedy under this Indenture shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.  The rights and remedies provided in this Indenture are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law.

 

Section 12.3          Severability.  In the event that any provision of this Indenture or the application thereof to any party hereto or to any circumstance or in any jurisdiction governing this Indenture shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any Applicable Law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it is invalid or unenforceable, and the remainder of this Indenture, and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provision to the parties, jurisdictions or circumstances other than to whom or to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby nor shall the same affect the validity or enforceability of this Indenture.  The parties hereto further agree that the holding by any court of competent jurisdiction that any remedy pursued by the Trustee hereunder is unavailable or unenforceable shall not affect in any way the ability of the Trustee to pursue any other remedy available to it.

 

Section 12.4          Restrictions on Exercise of Certain Rights.  The Trustee and, during the continuance of a payment Default with respect to the Senior Class of Notes, the Senior Trustee,

 

85











 

except as otherwise provided in Section 4.4, Section 4.9 and Section 4.11, may sue for recovery or take any other steps for the purpose of recovering any of the obligations hereunder or any other debts or liabilities whatsoever owing to it by the Issuer.  Each of the Noteholders shall at all times be deemed to have agreed by virtue of the acceptance of the Notes that only the Trustee and, during the continuance of a payment Default with respect to the Senior Class of Notes, the Senior Trustee, except as provided in Section 4.4, Section 4.9 and Section 4.11, may take any steps for the purpose of procuring the appointment of an administrative receiver, examiner, receiver or similar officer or the making of an administration order or for instituting any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, winding-up, liquidation, composition, examination or any like proceedings under Applicable Law.

Section 12.8          GOVERNING LAW.  THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE RULES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

 

Section 12.9          Jurisdiction.

 

(a)           Each of the parties hereto agrees that the U.S. federal and State of New York courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit, action or proceeding, and to settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in connection with this Indenture and, for such purposes, submits to the jurisdiction of

 

87











 

such courts.  Each of the parties hereto waives any objection that it might now or hereafter have to the U.S. federal or State of New York courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York being nominated as the forum to hear and determine any suit, action or proceeding, and to settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in connection with this Indenture and agrees not to claim that any such court is not a convenient or appropriate forum.  Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 12.5.  Each of the parties hereto waives personal service of any summons, complaint or other process, which may be made by any other means permitted by New York law.  Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of the Issuer or the Trustee and the Noteholders, as the case may be, to serve any such legal process, summons, notices and documents in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law or to obtain jurisdiction over such party or bring suits, actions or proceedings against such party in such other jurisdictions, and in such manner, as may be permitted by Applicable Law.

 

(b)           The submission to the jurisdiction of the courts referred to in Section 12.9(a) shall not (and shall not be construed so as to) limit the right of the Trustee to take proceedings against the Issuer in any other court of competent jurisdiction, nor shall the taking of proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not.

 

(c)           Each of the parties hereto hereby consents generally in respect of any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Indenture to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with such action or proceeding, including the making, enforcement or execution against any property whatsoever (irrespective of its use or intended use) of any order or judgment that may be made or given in such action or proceeding.

 

(d)           If, for the purpose of obtaining a judgment or order in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder to any Noteholder from Dollars into another currency, the Issuer has agreed, and each Noteholder by holding a Note shall be deemed to have agreed, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, such Noteholder could purchase Dollars with such other currency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

 

(e)           The obligation of the Issuer in respect of any sum payable by it to a Noteholder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or order in a currency other than Dollars (the “Judgment Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by such Noteholder of such security of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, such Noteholder may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase Dollars with the Judgment Currency.  If the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the sum due to such Noteholder in the Judgment Currency (determined in the manner set forth in Section 12.9(d)), the Issuer agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Noteholder against such loss, and, if the amount of the Dollars so purchased exceeds the sum due to such Noteholder, such Noteholder agrees to remit to the Issuer such excess, provided that such Noteholder shall have no obligation to remit any such excess as long as the Issuer shall have failed to pay such Noteholder any obligations due and payable under the Notes of such Noteholder, in which case such excess may be applied to such obligations of the

 

88











 

Issuer under such Notes in accordance with the terms thereof.  The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Issuer and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid.

 

(f)            EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INDENTURE OR ANY MATTER ARISING HEREUNDER.

Section 12.13       Confidential Information.  The Trustee, in its individual capacity and as Trustee, agrees and acknowledges that all information (including Confidential Information) provided to the Trustee by the Servicer, the Equityholder or the Issuer may be considered to be proprietary and confidential information under the GSK Agreements, the TRC LLC Agreement and the Master Agreement.  The Trustee agrees to take reasonable precautions necessary to keep such information confidential, which precautions shall be no less stringent than those that the Trustee employs to protect its own confidential information.  The Trustee shall not disclose to any third party other than as set forth herein, and shall not use for any purpose other than the exercise of the Trustee’s rights and the performance of its obligations under this Indenture, any such information without the prior written consent of the disclosing party.  The Trustee shall limit access to such information received hereunder to (a) its directors, officers, managers and employees and its legal advisors or (b) to the extent required by Applicable Law, in each case to each of whom disclosure of such information is necessary for the purposes described above.

 

Each of the Calculation Agent, the Transfer Agent, the Paying Agent and the Registrar agrees to be bound by this Section 12.13 to the same extent as the Trustee.

 

Section 12.14       Limited Recourse.  Each of the parties hereto accepts that the enforceability against the Issuer of the obligations of the Issuer hereunder and under the Notes shall be limited to the Collateral and the Issuer Pledged Collateral.  Once all of the Collateral and the Issuer Pledged Collateral has been realized and applied in accordance with Article III, any outstanding obligations of the Issuer shall be extinguished.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 12.14 does not affect the obligations of the Servicer under the Account Control Agreement or the obligations of the Equityholder under the Pledge and Security Agreement or

 

89











 

the ability of the Trustee or any Noteholder to exercise any rights or remedies it may have under the Pledge and Security Agreement.  Each of the parties hereto further agrees that it shall take no action against any employee, director, officer or administrator of the Issuer, the Equityholder or the Trustee in relation to this Indenture; provided, that nothing herein shall limit the Issuer (or its permitted successors or assigns, including any party hereto that becomes such a successor or assign) from pursuing claims, if any, against any such Person.  The provisions of this Section 12.14 shall survive termination of this Indenture; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not in any way limit, impair or otherwise affect any rights of the Trustee or the Noteholders to proceed against any such Person (a) for intentional and willful fraud or intentional and willful misrepresentations on the part of or by such Person or (b) for the receipt of any distributions or payments to which the Issuer or any successor in interest is entitled, other than distributions expressly permitted pursuant to this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents.

 

Section 12.15       Tax Matters.

 

(a)           The Issuer has entered into this Indenture, and the Notes shall be issued, with the intention that, for all Tax purposes, the Notes shall qualify as indebtedness.  The Issuer, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder and Beneficial Holder, agree to treat the Notes as indebtedness for all Tax purposes.  The Issuer shall treat interest on the Notes as foreign source interest unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.  The Issuer shall notify the Trustee if interest on the Notes becomes treated as U.S. source income.

 

(b)           The Issuer shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to the Noteholders or Beneficial Holders as a result of any withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future Taxes imposed on payments in respect of the Notes.  If a Global Note is issued, in accordance with the procedures of DTC, the Issuer shall (or shall direct the Trustee in writing to) request the Notes to be coded (to the extent permitted by the procedures of DTC) as foreign source income. If interest becomes treated as U.S. source income, the Issuer shall (or shall direct the Trustee in writing to) request the Notes to be coded (to the extent permitted by the procedures of DTC) as eligible for the “portfolio interest exemption”.  Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, if Definitive Notes are issued, so long as a Person shall have delivered to the Issuer a properly completed IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8ECI or other applicable IRS form evidencing an exemption from U.S. backup withholding, neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall withhold Taxes on payments of interest made to any such Person and, if interest on the Notes becomes treated as U.S. source income, so long as a Person shall have delivered to the Issuer a properly completed IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8BEN claiming a complete exemption under an applicable income tax treaty, IRS Form W-8BEN-E claiming a complete exemption under an applicable income tax treaty, IRS Form W-8ECI or other applicable IRS form or, in the case of a Person claiming the exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) of the Code or Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, the appropriate properly completed IRS form together with a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F, neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall withhold Taxes on payments of interest made to any such Person.  Any such IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E shall specify whether the Noteholder or Beneficial Holder to whom the form relates is entitled to the benefits of any applicable income tax treaty.

 

90












 

(c)           Provided that the Issuer complies with Section 5.2(r), Section 12.15(a) and Section 12.15(b), if Definitive Notes are issued, (i) if any withholding Tax is imposed on the Issuer’s payment under the Notes to any Noteholder or Beneficial Holder, such Tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Noteholder or Beneficial Holder, as the case may be, (ii) the Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to any Noteholder or Beneficial Holder sufficient funds for the payment of any withholding Tax that is legally owed by the Issuer (but such authorization shall not prevent the Trustee from contesting any such withholding Tax in appropriate proceedings and withholding payment of such Tax, if permitted by Applicable Law, pending the outcome of such proceedings) and (iii) the amount of any withholding Tax imposed with respect to any Noteholder or Beneficial Holder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Noteholder or Beneficial Holder, as the case may be, at the time it is withheld by the Trustee and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.  Provided that the Issuer complies with Section 5.2(r), Section 12.15(a) and Section 12.15(b), if there is a possibility that withholding Tax is payable with respect to a payment under the Notes, the Trustee may (but shall have no obligation to) withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 12.15.  Nothing herein shall impose an obligation on the part of the Trustee to determine the amount of any Tax or withholding obligation on the part of the Issuer or in respect of the Notes.

 

Section 12.16       Waiver.  The Issuer waives any right to contest or otherwise assert that the Sale and Contribution Agreement is other than a true, absolute and irrevocable sale and assignment by the Transferor to the Issuer of the Collateral under Applicable Law.

 

Section 12.17       Distribution Reports.  Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Trustee may effect delivery of any Distribution Report (including the materials accompanying such Distribution Report) by making such Distribution Report and accompanying materials available by posting such Distribution Report and accompanying materials on Debt Domain or a substantially similar electronic transmission system; provided, however, that, upon written notice to the Trustee, any Noteholder may decline to receive such Distribution Report and accompanying materials via Debt Domain or a substantially similar electronic transmission system, in which case such Distribution Report and accompanying materials shall be provided as otherwise set forth in the Transaction Documents.  Subject to the conditions set forth in the proviso in the preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 12.17 shall prejudice the right of the Trustee to make such Distribution Report and accompanying materials available in any other manner specified in the Transaction Documents.

 

Section 12.18       No Voting Rights for Non-Permitted Holders.  In determining whether the Noteholders holding the requisite aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, approval or waiver under this Indenture or any other Transaction Document (which in the case of any other Transaction Document shall be as third party beneficiaries to such other Transaction Document), the Notes held by the Issuer or any Non-Permitted Holder, including any Noteholder that is a Restricted Party, shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding.  In connection therewith, as a condition to the exercise of the voting rights or remedial or other rights assigned to the Noteholders under this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents (which in the case of the other Transaction Documents shall be as third party beneficiaries to such Transaction Documents), including the remedial rights exercisable by the Noteholders following the

 

91











 

occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Noteholder shall be required to deliver to the Trustee a Confidentiality Agreement or a certification in the form attached as Exhibit H to this Indenture that it is not a Non-Permitted Holder, including that it is not a Restricted Party. The aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes held by any Noteholder that does not deliver the certification will be excluded from the denominator in calculating whether Noteholders holding the requisite Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes have consented and from the numerator in calculating whether the Noteholders holding the requisite Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes have objected to any matter subject to the vote or approval of the Noteholders.

 

Section 12.19       U.S.A. Patriot Act.  The parties hereto acknowledge that, in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee. The parties to this Indenture agree that they shall provide the Trustee with information as it may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.

TRIPLE ROYALTY SUB LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein referred to as the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal amount set forth on Schedule I hereto on or before April 15, 2033 (the “Final Legal Maturity Date”) and to pay interest quarterly on the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof at a rate per annum equal to 9.0% (the “Note Interest Rate”), from the date hereof until the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof is paid or duly provided for, which interest shall be due and payable on each Payment Date; provided, that with respect to any Payment Date (other than the Final Legal Maturity Date), any such interest in excess of the portion of the Available Collections Amount available to pay such interest on such Payment Date (subject to the immediately succeeding proviso) shall be payable in full not later than the succeeding Payment Date (together with Additional Interest thereon); provided, further, however, that, to the extent there are insufficient funds to pay scheduled interest on this Note in accordance with the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date during the Interest Deferral Period, the scheduled interest (to the extent of such insufficient funds) will be added to the principal balance of this Note and will bear interest at the Note Interest Rate.  Interest on this Note in each Interest Accrual Period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.  The Issuer shall cause the Trustee to authenticate an additional Note or additional Notes in the appropriate principal amount such that neither this Note nor any other such Note may exceed an aggregate principal amount of U.S.$500,000,000 at any time.

 

This Note is a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its “Triple PhaRMASM 9.0% Fixed Rate Term Notes due 2033,” issued under the Indenture dated as of November 30, 2018 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), by and between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as initial trustee (including any successor appointed in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the “Trustee”), transfer agent, paying agent, registrar and calculation agent.  The Indenture also provides for the issuance of Refinancing Notes and Subordinated Notes.  All capitalized terms used in this Note and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture.  Reference is made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Noteholders.  This Note is subject to all terms of the Indenture.

 

The Issuer shall pay the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note on or prior to the Final Legal Maturity Date on the Payment Date specified in the Indenture, subject to the

availability of the Available Collections Amount therefor after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.6 of the Indenture.

 

Interests in this Note are exchangeable or transferrable in whole or in part for interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note or a Permanent Regulation S Global Note; provided that such transfer or exchange complies with the applicable provisions of the Indenture relating to such transfer or exchange.  Interests in this Note in certain circumstances may also be exchangeable or transferrable in whole but not in part, to the Clearing Agency, its successors or their respective nominees.

 

The indebtedness evidenced by the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, senior in right of payment to the right of payment of the Subordinated Notes, and this Note is issued subject to such provisions.  The maturity of this Note is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence and during the continuance of the Events of Default specified in the Indenture.

 

The Issuer may redeem all or part of the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note prior to the Final Legal Maturity Date on any Redemption Date, in the amounts and under the circumstances specified in the Indenture.

 

Any amount of Premium or interest on this Note that is not paid when due shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, bear interest (“Additional Interest”) at an interest rate per annum equal to the Note Interest Rate from the date when due until such amount is paid or duly provided for, compounded quarterly and payable on the succeeding Payment Date, subject to the availability of the Available Collections Amount therefor after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.6 of the Indenture.

 

This Note is and shall be secured by the Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture and by the Issuer Pledged Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Pledge and Security Agreement.

 

This Note shall be issued in minimum denominations of $250,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof.

 

Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, there shall be distributed quarterly from the Collection Account on each Payment Date, to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such Payment Date, in the manner specified in Section 3.6 of the Indenture, such Person’s pro rata share (based on the aggregate percentage of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) held by such Person) of the aggregate amount distributable to all Noteholders of the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) on such Payment Date.

 

All amounts payable in respect of this Note shall be payable in Dollars in the manner provided in the Indenture to the Noteholder hereof on the Record Date relating to such payment.  The final payment with respect to this Note, however, shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Note by the Noteholder or its agent at an office or agency of

At such time, if any, as this Note is issued in the form of one or more Definitive Notes, payments on a Payment Date shall be made by check mailed to each Noteholder of such a Definitive Note on the applicable Record Date at its address appearing on the Register maintained with respect to the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes).  Alternatively, upon application in writing to the Trustee or other Paying Agent, not later than the applicable Record Date, by a Noteholder, any such payments shall be made by wire transfer to an account designated by such Noteholder at a financial institution in New York City; provided, that, in each case, the final payment with respect to any such Definitive Note shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Definitive Note by the Noteholder or its agent at an office or agency of the Trustee or Paying Agent in New York City.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments in respect of this Note issued in the form of a Global Note (including principal, Premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by DTC.  Any reduction in the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note (or any one or more predecessor Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes)) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer of, in exchange or in lieu of or upon the refinancing of this Note, whether or not noted hereon.

 

The Noteholder of this Note agrees, by acceptance hereof, to pay over to the Trustee any money (including principal, Premium, if any, and interest) paid to it in respect of this Note in the event that the Trustee, acting in good faith, determines subsequently that such monies were not paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments or as a result of any other mistake of fact or law on the part of the Trustee in making such payment.

 

This Note is issuable only in registered form.  A Noteholder may transfer this Note only by delivery of a written application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of the Indenture.  No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Noteholder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register.  When this Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange it for an equal principal amount of Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met (including, in the case of a transfer, that such Note is duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and Registrar duly executed by the Noteholder thereof or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Noteholder).  No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the party requesting such new Note or Notes may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer Tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

Prior to the registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer and the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the absolute holder and Noteholder hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to

Any such amendment or modification shall be binding on every Noteholder hereof, whether or not notation thereof is made upon this Note.

 

The subordination provisions contained in Article X of the Indenture may not be amended or modified without the consent of Noteholders holding 100% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the class of Notes affected thereby.

 

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Controlling Party to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon all present and future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer of, in exchange or in lieu of or upon the refinancing of this Note, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

 

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE RULES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF

THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

Once all of the Collateral and the Issuer Pledged Collateral has been realized and applied in accordance with Article III of the Indenture, any outstanding obligations of the Issuer shall be extinguished.  Each of the parties to the Indenture shall take no action against any employee, director, officer or administrator of the Issuer, the Equityholder or the Trustee in relation to the Indenture; provided, that nothing therein shall limit the Issuer (or its permitted successors or assigns, including any party thereto that becomes such a successor or assign) from pursuing claims, if any, against any such Person.  The provisions of Section 12.14 of the Indenture shall survive termination of the Indenture; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not in any way limit, impair or otherwise affect any rights of the Trustee or the Noteholders to proceed against any such Person (a) for intentional and willful fraud or intentional and willful misrepresentations on the part of or by such Person or (b) for the receipt of any distributions or payments to which the Issuer or any successor in interest is entitled, other than distributions expressly permitted pursuant to the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee whose name appears below by manual or facsimile signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

TRIPLE ROYALTY SUB LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein referred to as the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal amount set forth on Schedule I hereto on or before April 15, 2033 (the “Final Legal Maturity Date”) and to pay interest quarterly on the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof at a rate per annum equal to 9.0% (the “Note Interest Rate”), from the date hereof until the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof is paid or duly provided for, which interest shall be due and payable on each Payment Date; provided, that with respect to any Payment Date (other than the Final Legal Maturity Date), any such interest in excess of the portion of the Available Collections Amount available to pay such interest on such Payment Date (subject to the immediately succeeding proviso) shall be payable in full not later than the succeeding Payment Date (together with Additional Interest thereon); provided, further, however, that, to the extent there are insufficient funds to pay scheduled interest on this Note in accordance with the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date during the Interest Deferral Period, the scheduled interest (to the extent of such insufficient funds) will be added to the principal balance of this Note and will bear interest at the Note Interest Rate.  Interest on this Note in each Interest Accrual Period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.  The Issuer shall cause the Trustee to authenticate an additional Note or additional Notes in the appropriate principal amount such that neither this Note nor any other such Note may exceed an aggregate principal amount of U.S. $500,000,000 at any time.

 

This Note is a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its “Triple PhaRMASM 9.0% Fixed Rate Term Notes due 2033,” issued under the Indenture dated as of November 30, 2018 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), by and between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as initial trustee (including any successor appointed in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the “Trustee”), transfer agent, paying agent, registrar and calculation agent.  The Indenture also provides for the issuance of Refinancing Notes and Subordinated Notes.  All capitalized terms used in this Note and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture.  Reference is made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Noteholders.  This Note is subject to all terms of the Indenture.

 

The Issuer shall pay the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note on or prior to the Final Legal Maturity Date on the Payment Date specified in the Indenture, subject to the

 

A-2-6











 

availability of the Available Collections Amount therefor after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.6 of the Indenture.

 

Interests in this Note are exchangeable or transferrable in whole or in part for interests in a Rule 144A Global Note, a Temporary Regulation S Global Note, or a Permanent Regulation S Global Note; provided that such transfer or exchange complies with the applicable provisions of the Indenture relating to such transfer or exchange.  Interests in this Note in certain circumstances may also be exchangeable or transferrable in whole but not in part, to the Clearing Agency, its successors or their respective nominees.

 

The indebtedness evidenced by the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, senior in right of payment to the right of payment of the Subordinated Notes, and this Note is issued subject to such provisions.  The maturity of this Note is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence and during the continuance of the Events of Default specified in the Indenture.

 

The Issuer may redeem all or part of the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note prior to the Final Legal Maturity Date on any Redemption Date, in the amounts and under the circumstances specified in the Indenture.

 

Any amount of Premium or interest on this Note that is not paid when due shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, bear interest (“Additional Interest”) at an interest rate per annum equal to the Note Interest Rate from the date when due until such amount is paid or duly provided for, compounded quarterly and payable on the succeeding Payment Date, subject to the availability of the Available Collections Amount therefor after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.6 of the Indenture.

 

This Note is and shall be secured by the Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture and by the Issuer Pledged Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Pledge and Security Agreement.

 

This Note shall be issued in minimum denominations of $250,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof.

 

Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, there shall be distributed quarterly from the Collection Account on each Payment Date, to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such Payment Date, in the manner specified in Section 3.6 of the Indenture, such Person’s pro rata share (based on the aggregate percentage of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) held by such Person) of the aggregate amount distributable to all Noteholders of the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) on such Payment Date.

 

All amounts payable in respect of this Note shall be payable in Dollars in the manner provided in the Indenture to the Noteholder hereof on the Record Date relating to such payment.

A-2-7











 

the Trustee or Paying Agent in New York City.  At such time, if any, as this Note is issued in the form of one or more Definitive Notes, payments on a Payment Date shall be made by check mailed to each Noteholder of such a Definitive Note on the applicable Record Date at its address appearing on the Register maintained with respect to the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes).  Alternatively, upon application in writing to the Trustee or other Paying Agent, not later than the applicable Record Date, by a Noteholder, any such payments shall be made by wire transfer to an account designated by such Noteholder at a financial institution in New York City; provided, that, in each case, the final payment with respect to any such Definitive Note shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Definitive Note by the Noteholder or its agent at an office or agency of the Trustee or Paying Agent in New York City.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments in respect of this Note issued in the form of a Global Note (including principal, Premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by DTC.  Any reduction in the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note (or any one or more predecessor Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes)) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer of, in exchange or in lieu of or upon the refinancing of this Note, whether or not noted hereon.

 

The Noteholder of this Note agrees, by acceptance hereof, to pay over to the Trustee any money (including principal, Premium, if any, and interest) paid to it in respect of this Note in the event that the Trustee, acting in good faith, determines subsequently that such monies were not paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments or as a result of any other mistake of fact or law on the part of the Trustee in making such payment.

 

This Note is issuable only in registered form.  A Noteholder may transfer this Note only by delivery of a written application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of the Indenture.  No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Noteholder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register.  When this Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange it for an equal principal amount of Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met (including, in the case of a transfer, that such Note is duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and Registrar duly executed by the Noteholder thereof or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Noteholder).  No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the party requesting such new Note or Notes may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer Tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

Prior to the registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer and the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the absolute holder and Noteholder hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to

 

A-2-8











 

this Note and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

Subject to Section 3.6(b) of the Indenture, the Indenture permits the amendment or modification of the Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer with the consent of Noteholders holding a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes (together with any other class of Notes voting or acting as a single class); provided, however, that if there shall be Notes of more than one class Outstanding and if a proposed amendment, modification, consent or waiver shall directly affect the rights of Noteholders of one or more, but less than all, of such classes, then the consent only of the Noteholders holding a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of each affected class of Notes, each voting or acting as a single class, shall be required; provided, further, however, that no such amendment, modification, consent or waiver may, without the consent of Noteholders holding 100% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the class of Notes affected thereby, (i) reduce the percentage of any such class of Notes required to take or approve any action under the Indenture or the Notes, (ii) reduce the amount or change the time of payment of any amount owing or payable with respect to any such class of Notes (including pursuant to any Redemption or Mandatory Tax Redemption) or change the rate of interest or change the manner of calculation of interest payable with respect to any such class of Notes, (iii) alter or modify in any adverse respect the provisions of the Indenture with respect to the Collateral, the provision of the Pledge and Security Agreement with respect to the Issuer Pledged Collateral or the manner of payment or the order of priority in which payments or distributions thereunder shall be made as between the Noteholders of such Notes and the Issuer or as among the Noteholders (including pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Indenture) (except, with respect to Subordinated Notes or as among classes of Subordinated Notes, alterations or modifications to Section 3.6(a)(vii) of the Indenture, at the time such Subordinated Notes are established, provided such alterations or modifications do not change the order of priority as between the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) and the Subordinated Notes), (iv) consent to any assignment of the Issuer’s rights to a party other than the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders or (v) alter the provisions relating to the Collection Account in a manner adverse to any Noteholder.  Any such amendment or modification shall be binding on every Noteholder hereof, whether or not notation thereof is made upon this Note.

 

The subordination provisions contained in Article X of the Indenture may not be amended or modified without the consent of Noteholders holding 100% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the class of Notes affected thereby.

 

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Controlling Party to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon all present and future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer of, in exchange or in lieu of or upon the refinancing of this Note, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

 

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE RULES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF

 

A-2-9











 

THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

 

The enforceability against the Issuer of the obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture and under the Notes shall be limited to the Collateral and the Issuer Pledged Collateral.  Once all of the Collateral and the Issuer Pledged Collateral has been realized and applied in accordance with Article III of the Indenture, any outstanding obligations of the Issuer shall be extinguished.  Each of the parties to the Indenture shall take no action against any employee, director, officer or administrator of the Issuer, the Equityholder or the Trustee in relation to the Indenture; provided, that nothing therein shall limit the Issuer (or its permitted successors or assigns, including any party thereto that becomes such a successor or assign) from pursuing claims, if any, against any such Person.  The provisions of Section 12.14 of the Indenture shall survive termination of the Indenture; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not in any way limit, impair or otherwise affect any rights of the Trustee or the Noteholders to proceed against any such Person (a) for intentional and willful fraud or intentional and willful misrepresentations on the part of or by such Person or (b) for the receipt of any distributions or payments to which the Issuer or any successor in interest is entitled, other than distributions expressly permitted pursuant to the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee whose name appears below by manual or facsimile signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

This Note is a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its “Triple PhaRMASM 9.0% Fixed Rate Term Notes due 2033,” issued under the Indenture dated as of November 30, 2018 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), by and between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as initial trustee (including any successor appointed in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the “Trustee”), transfer agent, paying agent, registrar and calculation agent.  The Indenture also provides for the issuance of Refinancing Notes and Subordinated Notes.  All capitalized terms used in this Note and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture.  Reference is made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Noteholders.  This Note is subject to all terms of the Indenture.

 

The Issuer shall pay the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note on or prior to the Final Legal Maturity Date on the Payment Date specified in the Indenture, subject to the

 

A-3-6











 

availability of the Available Collections Amount therefor after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.6 of the Indenture.

 

Interests in this Note are exchangeable or transferrable in whole or in part for interests in a Rule 144A Global Note and exchangeable in whole for a Permanent Regulation S Global Note; provided that such transfer or exchange complies with the applicable provisions of the Indenture relating to such transfer or exchange.  Interests in this Note in certain circumstances may also be exchangeable or transferrable in whole but not in part, to the Clearing Agency, its successors or their respective nominees.

 

The indebtedness evidenced by the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, senior in right of payment to the right of payment of the Subordinated Notes, and this Note is issued subject to such provisions.  The maturity of this Note is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence and during the continuance of the Events of Default specified in the Indenture.

 

The Issuer may redeem all or part of the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note prior to the Final Legal Maturity Date on any Redemption Date, in the amounts and under the circumstances specified in the Indenture.

 

Any amount of Premium or interest on this Note that is not paid when due shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, bear interest (“Additional Interest”) at an interest rate per annum equal to the Note Interest Rate from the date when due until such amount is paid or duly provided for, compounded quarterly and payable on the succeeding Payment Date, subject to the availability of the Available Collections Amount therefor after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.6 of the Indenture.

 

This Note is and shall be secured by the Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture and by the Issuer Pledged Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Pledge and Security Agreement.

 

This Note shall be issued in minimum denominations of $250,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof.

 

Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, there shall be distributed quarterly from the Collection Account on each Payment Date, to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such Payment Date, in the manner specified in Section 3.6 of the Indenture, such Person’s pro rata share (based on the aggregate percentage of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) held by such Person) of the aggregate amount distributable to all Noteholders of the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) on such Payment Date.

 

All amounts payable in respect of this Note shall be payable in Dollars in the manner provided in the Indenture to the Noteholder hereof on the Record Date relating to such payment.  The final payment with respect to this Note, however, shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Note by the Noteholder or its agent at an office or agency of

 

A-3-7











 

the Trustee or Paying Agent in New York City.  At such time, if any, as this Note is issued in the form of one or more Definitive Notes, payments on a Payment Date shall be made by check mailed to each Noteholder of such a Definitive Note on the applicable Record Date at its address appearing on the Register maintained with respect to the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes).  Alternatively, upon application in writing to the Trustee or other Paying Agent, not later than the applicable Record Date, by a Noteholder, any such payments shall be made by wire transfer to an account designated by such Noteholder at a financial institution in New York City; provided, that, in each case, the final payment with respect to any such Definitive Note shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Definitive Note by the Noteholder or its agent at an office or agency of the Trustee or Paying Agent in New York City.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments in respect of this Note issued in the form of a Global Note (including principal, Premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by DTC.  Any reduction in the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note (or any one or more predecessor Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes)) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer of, in exchange or in lieu of or upon the refinancing of this Note, whether or not noted hereon.

 

The Noteholder of this Note agrees, by acceptance hereof, to pay over to the Trustee any money (including principal, Premium, if any, and interest) paid to it in respect of this Note in the event that the Trustee, acting in good faith, determines subsequently that such monies were not paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments or as a result of any other mistake of fact or law on the part of the Trustee in making such payment.

 

This Note is issuable only in registered form.  A Noteholder may transfer this Note only by delivery of a written application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of the Indenture.  No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Noteholder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register.  When this Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange it for an equal principal amount of Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met (including, in the case of a transfer, that such Note is duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and Registrar duly executed by the Noteholder thereof or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Noteholder).  No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the party requesting such new Note or Notes may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer Tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

Prior to the registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer and the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the absolute holder and Noteholder hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to

 

A-3-8











 

this Note and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

Subject to Section 3.6(b) of the Indenture, the Indenture permits the amendment or modification of the Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer with the consent of Noteholders holding a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes (together with any other class of Notes voting or acting as a single class); provided, however, that if there shall be Notes of more than one class Outstanding and if a proposed amendment, modification, consent or waiver shall directly affect the rights of Noteholders of one or more, but less than all, of such classes, then the consent only of the Noteholders holding a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of each affected class of Notes, each voting or acting as a single class, shall be required; provided, further, however, that no such amendment, modification, consent or waiver may, without the consent of Noteholders holding 100% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the class of Notes affected thereby, (i) reduce the percentage of any such class of Notes required to take or approve any action under the Indenture or the Notes, (ii) reduce the amount or change the time of payment of any amount owing or payable with respect to any such class of Notes (including pursuant to any Redemption or Mandatory Tax Redemption) or change the rate of interest or change the manner of calculation of interest payable with respect to any such class of Notes, (iii) alter or modify in any adverse respect the provisions of the Indenture with respect to the Collateral, the provisions of the Pledge and Security Agreement with respect to the Issuer Pledged Collateral or the manner of payment or the order of priority in which payments or distributions thereunder shall be made as between the Noteholders of such Notes and the Issuer or as among the Noteholders (including pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Indenture) (except, with respect to Subordinated Notes or as among classes of Subordinated Notes, alterations or modifications to Section 3.6(a)(vii) of the Indenture, at the time such Subordinated Notes are established, provided such alterations or modifications do not change the order of priority as between the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) and the Subordinated Notes), (iv) consent to any assignment of the Issuer’s rights to a party other than the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders or (v) alter the provisions relating to the Collection Account in a manner adverse to any Noteholder.  Any such amendment or modification shall be binding on every Noteholder hereof, whether or not notation thereof is made upon this Note.

 

The subordination provisions contained in Article X of the Indenture may not be amended or modified without the consent of Noteholders holding 100% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the class of Notes affected thereby.

 

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Controlling Party to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon all present and future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer of, in exchange or in lieu of or upon the refinancing of this Note, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

 

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE RULES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF

 

A-3-9











 

THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

 

The enforceability against the Issuer of the obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture and under the Notes shall be limited to the Collateral and the Issuer Pledged Collateral.  Once all of the Collateral and the Issuer Pledged Collateral has been realized and applied in accordance with Article III of the Indenture, any outstanding obligations of the Issuer shall be extinguished.  Each of the parties to the Indenture shall take no action against any employee, director, officer or administrator of the Issuer, the Equityholder or the Trustee in relation to the Indenture; provided, that nothing therein shall limit the Issuer (or its permitted successors or assigns, including any party thereto that becomes such a successor or assign) from pursuing claims, if any, against any such Person.  The provisions of Section 12.14 of the Indenture shall survive termination of the Indenture; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not in any way limit, impair or otherwise affect any rights of the Trustee or the Noteholders to proceed against any such Person (a) for intentional and willful fraud or intentional and willful misrepresentations on the part of or by such Person or (b) for the receipt of any distributions or payments to which the Issuer or any successor in interest is entitled, other than distributions expressly permitted pursuant to the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee whose name appears below by manual or facsimile signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

TRIPLE ROYALTY SUB LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein referred to as the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal amount set forth on Schedule I hereto on or before April 15, 2033 (the “Final Legal Maturity Date”) and to pay interest quarterly on the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof at a rate per annum equal to 9.0% (the “Note Interest Rate”), from the date hereof until the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof is paid or duly provided for, which interest shall be due and payable on each Payment Date; provided, that with respect to any Payment Date (other than the Final Legal Maturity Date), any such interest in excess of the portion of the Available Collections Amount available to pay such interest on such Payment Date (subject to the immediately succeeding proviso) shall be payable in full not later than the succeeding Payment Date (together with Additional Interest thereon); provided, further, however, that, to the extent there are insufficient funds to pay scheduled interest on this Note in accordance with the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date during the Interest Deferral Period, the scheduled interest (to the extent of such insufficient funds) will be added to the principal balance of this Note and will bear interest at the Note Interest Rate.  Interest on this Note in each Interest Accrual Period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.  The Issuer shall cause the Trustee to authenticate an additional Note or additional Notes in the appropriate principal amount such that neither this Note nor any other such Note may exceed an aggregate principal amount of U.S.$500,000,000 at any time.

 

This Note is a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its “Triple PhaRMASM 9.0% Fixed Rate Term Notes due 2033,” issued under the Indenture dated as of November 30, 2018 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), by and between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as initial trustee (including any successor appointed in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the “Trustee”), transfer agent, paying agent, registrar and calculation agent.  The Indenture also provides for the issuance of Refinancing Notes and Subordinated Notes.  All capitalized terms used in this Note and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture.  Reference is made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Noteholders.  This Note is subject to all terms of the Indenture.

 

The Issuer shall pay the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note on or prior to the Final Legal Maturity Date on the Payment Date specified in the Indenture, subject to the 

 

A-4-6











 

availability of the Available Collections Amount therefor after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.6 of the Indenture.

 

Interests in this Note are exchangeable or transferrable in whole or in part for interests in a Rule 144A Global Note; provided that such transfer or exchange complies with the applicable provisions of the Indenture relating to such transfer or exchange.  Interests in this Note in certain circumstances may also be exchangeable or transferrable in whole but not in part, to the Clearing Agency, its successors or their respective nominees.

 

The indebtedness evidenced by the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, senior in right of payment to the right of payment of the Subordinated Notes, and this Note is issued subject to such provisions.  The maturity of this Note is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence and during the continuance of the Events of Default specified in the Indenture.

 

The Issuer may redeem all or part of the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note prior to the Final Legal Maturity Date on any Redemption Date, in the amounts and under the circumstances specified in the Indenture.

 

Any amount of Premium or interest on this Note that is not paid when due shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, bear interest (“Additional Interest”) at an interest rate per annum equal to the Note Interest Rate from the date when due until such amount is paid or duly provided for, compounded quarterly and payable on the succeeding Payment Date, subject to the availability of the Available Collections Amount therefor after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.6 of the Indenture.

 

This Note is and shall be secured by the Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture and by the Issuer Pledged Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Pledge and Security Agreement.

 

This Note shall be issued in minimum denominations of $250,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof.

 

Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, there shall be distributed quarterly from the Collection Account on each Payment Date, to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such Payment Date, in the manner specified in Section 3.6 of the Indenture, such Person’s pro rata share (based on the aggregate percentage of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) held by such Person) of the aggregate amount distributable to all Noteholders of the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) on such Payment Date.

 

All amounts payable in respect of this Note shall be payable in Dollars in the manner provided in the Indenture to the Noteholder hereof on the Record Date relating to such payment.  The final payment with respect to this Note, however, shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Note by the Noteholder or its agent at an office or agency of the Trustee or Paying Agent in New York City.  At such time, if any, as this Note is issued in the 

 

A-4-7











 

form of one or more Definitive Notes, payments on a Payment Date shall be made by check mailed to each Noteholder of such a Definitive Note on the applicable Record Date at its address appearing on the Register maintained with respect to the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes).  Alternatively, upon application in writing to the Trustee or other Paying Agent, not later than the applicable Record Date, by a Noteholder, any such payments shall be made by wire transfer to an account designated by such Noteholder at a financial institution in New York City; provided, that, in each case, the final payment with respect to any such Definitive Note shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Definitive Note by the Noteholder or its agent at an office or agency of the Trustee or Paying Agent in New York City.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments in respect of this Note issued in the form of a Global Note (including principal, Premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by DTC.  Any reduction in the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note (or any one or more predecessor Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes)) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer of, in exchange or in lieu of or upon the refinancing of this Note, whether or not noted hereon.

 

The Noteholder of this Note agrees, by acceptance hereof, to pay over to the Trustee any money (including principal, Premium, if any, and interest) paid to it in respect of this Note in the event that the Trustee, acting in good faith, determines subsequently that such monies were not paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments or as a result of any other mistake of fact or law on the part of the Trustee in making such payment.

 

This Note is issuable only in registered form.  A Noteholder may transfer this Note only by delivery of a written application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of the Indenture.  No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Noteholder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register.  When this Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange it for an equal principal amount of Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met (including, in the case of a transfer, that such Note is duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and Registrar duly executed by the Noteholder thereof or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Noteholder).  No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the party requesting such new Note or Notes may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer Tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

Prior to the registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer and the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the absolute holder and Noteholder hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to this Note and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

A-4-8











 

Subject to Section 3.6(b) of the Indenture, the Indenture permits the amendment or modification of the Indenture and the  Notes by the Issuer with the consent of Noteholders holding a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes (together with any other class of Notes voting or acting as a single class); provided, however, that if there shall be Notes of more than one class Outstanding and if a proposed amendment, modification, consent or waiver shall directly affect the rights of Noteholders of one or more, but less than all, of such classes, then the consent only of the Noteholders holding a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of each affected class of Notes, each voting or acting as a single class, shall be required; provided, further, however, that no such amendment, modification, consent or waiver may, without the consent of Noteholders holding 100% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the class of Notes affected thereby, (i) reduce the percentage of any such class of Notes required to take or approve any action under the Indenture or the Notes, (ii) reduce the amount or change the time of payment of any amount owing or payable with respect to any such class of Notes (including pursuant to any Redemption or Mandatory Tax Redemption) or change the rate of interest or change the manner of calculation of interest payable with respect to any such class of Notes, (iii) alter or modify in any adverse respect the provisions of the Indenture with respect to the Collateral, the provisions of the Pledge and Security Agreement with respect to the Issuer Pledged Collateral or the manner of payment or the order of priority in which payments or distributions thereunder shall be made as between the Noteholders of such Notes and the Issuer or as among the Noteholders (including pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Indenture) (except, with respect to Subordinated Notes or as among classes of Subordinated Notes, alterations or modifications to Section 3.6(a)(vii) of the Indenture, at the time such Subordinated Notes are established, provided such alterations or modifications do not change the order of priority as between the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) and the Subordinated Notes), (iv) consent to any assignment of the Issuer’s rights to a party other than the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders or (v) alter the provisions relating to the Collection Account in a manner adverse to any Noteholder.  Any such amendment or modification shall be binding on every Noteholder hereof, whether or not notation thereof is made upon this Note.

 

The subordination provisions contained in Article X of the Indenture may not be amended or modified without the consent of Noteholders holding 100% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the class of Notes affected thereby.

 

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Controlling Party to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon all present and future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer of, in exchange or in lieu of or upon the refinancing of this Note, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

 

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE RULES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

 

A-4-9











 

The enforceability against the Issuer of the obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture and under the Notes shall be limited to the Collateral and the Issuer Pledged Collateral.  Once all of the Collateral and the Issuer Pledged Collateral has been realized and applied in accordance with Article III of the Indenture, any outstanding obligations of the Issuer shall be extinguished.  Each of the parties to the Indenture shall take no action against any employee, director, officer or administrator of the Issuer, the Equityholder or the Trustee in relation to the Indenture; provided, that nothing therein shall limit the Issuer (or its permitted successors or assigns, including any party thereto that becomes such a successor or assign) from pursuing claims, if any, against any such Person.  The provisions of Section 12.14 of the Indenture shall survive termination of the Indenture; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not in any way limit, impair or otherwise affect any rights of the Trustee or the Noteholders to proceed against any such Person (a) for intentional and willful fraud or intentional and willful misrepresentations on the part of or by such Person or (b) for the receipt of any distributions or payments to which the Issuer or any successor in interest is entitled, other than distributions expressly permitted pursuant to the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee whose name appears below by manual or facsimile signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

TRIPLE ROYALTY SUB LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein referred to as the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to THERAVANCE BIOPHARMA R&D, INC., a Cayman Islands exempted company, the principal amount set forth on Schedule I hereto on or before April 15, 2033 (the “Final Legal Maturity Date”) and to pay interest quarterly on the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof at a rate per annum equal to 9.0% (the “Note Interest Rate”), from the date hereof until the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof is paid or duly provided for, which interest shall be due and payable on each Payment Date; provided, that with respect to any Payment Date (other than the Final Legal Maturity Date), any such interest in excess of the portion of the Available Collections Amount available to pay such interest on such Payment Date (subject to the immediately succeeding proviso) shall be payable in full not later than the succeeding Payment Date (together with Additional Interest thereon); provided, further, however, that, to the extent there are insufficient funds to pay scheduled interest on this Note in accordance with the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date during the Interest Deferral Period, the scheduled interest (to the extent of such insufficient funds) will be added to the principal balance of this Note and will bear interest at the Note Interest Rate.  Interest on this Note in each Interest Accrual Period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.  The Issuer shall cause the Trustee to authenticate an additional Note or additional Notes in the appropriate principal amount such that neither this Note nor any other such Note may exceed an aggregate principal amount of U.S.$500,000,000 at any time.

 

This Note is a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its “Triple PhaRMASM 9.0% Fixed Rate Term Notes due 2033,” issued under the Indenture dated as of November 30, 2018 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), by and between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as initial trustee (including any successor appointed in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the “Trustee”), transfer agent, paying agent, registrar and calculation agent.  The Indenture also provides for the issuance of Refinancing Notes and Subordinated Notes.  All capitalized terms used in this Note and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture.  Reference is made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Noteholders.  This Note is subject to all terms of the Indenture.

 

The Issuer shall pay the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note on or prior to the Final Legal Maturity Date on the Payment Date specified in the Indenture, subject to the 

 

A-5-6











 

availability of the Available Collections Amount therefor after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.6 of the Indenture.

 

Interests in this Note are exchangeable or transferrable in whole or in part for interests in a Rule 144A Global Note; provided that such transfer or exchange complies with the applicable provisions of the Indenture relating to such transfer or exchange.  Interests in this Note in certain circumstances may also be exchangeable or transferrable in whole but not in part, to the Clearing Agency, its successors or their respective nominees.

 

The indebtedness evidenced by the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, senior in right of payment to the right of payment of the Subordinated Notes, and this Note is issued subject to such provisions.  The maturity of this Note is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence and during the continuance of the Events of Default specified in the Indenture.

 

The Issuer may redeem all or part of the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note prior to the Final Legal Maturity Date on any Redemption Date, in the amounts and under the circumstances specified in the Indenture.

 

Any amount of Premium or interest on this Note that is not paid when due shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, bear interest (“Additional Interest”) at an interest rate per annum equal to the Note Interest Rate from the date when due until such amount is paid or duly provided for, compounded quarterly and payable on the succeeding Payment Date, subject to the availability of the Available Collections Amount therefor after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.6 of the Indenture.

 

This Note is and shall be secured by the Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture and by the Issuer Pledged Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Pledge and Security Agreement.

 

This Note shall be issued in minimum denominations of $250,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof.

 

Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, there shall be distributed quarterly from the Collection Account on each Payment Date, to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such Payment Date, in the manner specified in Section 3.6 of the Indenture, such Person’s pro rata share (based on the aggregate percentage of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) held by such Person) of the aggregate amount distributable to all Noteholders of the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) on such Payment Date.

 

All amounts payable in respect of this Note shall be payable in Dollars in the manner provided in the Indenture to the Noteholder hereof on the Record Date relating to such payment.  The final payment with respect to this Note, however, shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Note by the Noteholder or its agent at an office or agency of the Trustee or Paying Agent in New York City.  At such time, as this Note is issued in the form 

 

A-5-7











 

of one or more Definitive Notes, payments on a Payment Date shall be made by check mailed to each Noteholder of such a Definitive Note on the applicable Record Date at its address appearing on the Register maintained with respect to the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes).  Alternatively, upon application in writing to the Trustee or other Paying Agent, not later than the applicable Record Date, by a Noteholder, any such payments shall be made by wire transfer to an account designated by such Noteholder at a financial institution in New York City; provided, that, in each case, the final payment with respect to any such Definitive Note shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Definitive Note by the Noteholder or its agent at an office or agency of the Trustee or Paying Agent in New York City.  Any reduction in the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note (or any one or more predecessor Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes)) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer of, in exchange or in lieu of or upon the refinancing of this Note, whether or not noted hereon.

 

The Noteholder of this Note agrees, by acceptance hereof, to pay over to the Trustee any money (including principal, Premium, if any, and interest) paid to it in respect of this Note in the event that the Trustee, acting in good faith, determines subsequently that such monies were not paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments or as a result of any other mistake of fact or law on the part of the Trustee in making such payment.

 

This Note is issuable only in registered form.  A Noteholder may transfer this Note only by delivery of a written application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of the Indenture.  No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Noteholder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register.  When this Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange it for an equal principal amount of Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met (including, in the case of a transfer, that such Note is duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and Registrar duly executed by the Noteholder thereof or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Noteholder).  No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the party requesting such new Note or Notes may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer Tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

Prior to the registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer and the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the absolute holder and Noteholder hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to this Note and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

Subject to Section 3.6(b) of the Indenture, the Indenture permits the amendment or modification of the Indenture and the  Notes by the Issuer with the consent of Noteholders holding a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes (together with any other 

 

A-5-8











 

class of Notes voting or acting as a single class); provided, however, that if there shall be Notes of more than one class Outstanding and if a proposed amendment, modification, consent or waiver shall directly affect the rights of Noteholders of one or more, but less than all, of such classes, then the consent only of the Noteholders holding a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of each affected class of Notes, each voting or acting as a single class, shall be required; provided, further, however, that no such amendment, modification, consent or waiver may, without the consent of Noteholders holding 100% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the class of Notes affected thereby, (i) reduce the percentage of any such class of Notes required to take or approve any action under the Indenture or the Notes, (ii) reduce the amount or change the time of payment of any amount owing or payable with respect to any such class of Notes (including pursuant to any Redemption or Mandatory Tax Redemption) or change the rate of interest or change the manner of calculation of interest payable with respect to any such class of Notes, (iii) alter or modify in any adverse respect the provisions of the Indenture with respect to the Collateral, the provisions of the Pledge and Security Agreement with respect to the Issuer Pledged Collateral or the manner of payment or the order of priority in which payments or distributions thereunder shall be made as between the Noteholders of such Notes and the Issuer or as among the Noteholders (including pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Indenture) (except, with respect to Subordinated Notes or as among classes of Subordinated Notes, alterations or modifications to Section 3.6(a)(vii) of the Indenture, at the time such Subordinated Notes are established, provided such alterations or modifications do not change the order of priority as between the Original Notes (or any Refinancing Notes in respect of the Original Notes) and the Subordinated Notes), (iv) consent to any assignment of the Issuer’s rights to a party other than the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders or (v) alter the provisions relating to the Collection Account in a manner adverse to any Noteholder.  Any such amendment or modification shall be binding on every Noteholder hereof, whether or not notation thereof is made upon this Note.

 

The subordination provisions contained in Article X of the Indenture may not be amended or modified without the consent of Noteholders holding 100% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the class of Notes affected thereby.

 

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Controlling Party to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon all present and future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer of, in exchange or in lieu of or upon the refinancing of this Note, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

 

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE RULES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

 

The enforceability against the Issuer of the obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture and under the Notes shall be limited to the Collateral and the Issuer Pledged Collateral.  Once all of the Collateral and the Issuer Pledged Collateral has been realized and applied in 

 

A-5-9











 

accordance with Article III of the Indenture, any outstanding obligations of the Issuer shall be extinguished.  Each of the parties to the Indenture shall take no action against any employee, director, officer or administrator of the Issuer, the Equityholder or the Trustee in relation to the Indenture; provided, that nothing therein shall limit the Issuer (or its permitted successors or assigns, including any party thereto that becomes such a successor or assign) from pursuing claims, if any, against any such Person.  The provisions of Section 12.14 of the Indenture shall survive termination of the Indenture; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not in any way limit, impair or otherwise affect any rights of the Trustee or the Noteholders to proceed against any such Person (a) for intentional and willful fraud or intentional and willful misrepresentations on the part of or by such Person or (b) for the receipt of any distributions or payments to which the Issuer or any successor in interest is entitled, other than distributions expressly permitted pursuant to the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee whose name appears below by manual or facsimile signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

In connection with our possible interest in the purchase of the Triple PhaRMASM 9.0% Fixed Rate Term Notes due 2033 (the “Notes”) of Triple Royalty Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”) (the “Transaction”), we have requested copies of the Summary of Terms relating to the Notes (the “Summary of Terms”).  In addition to receiving the Summary of Terms, we may also request that you or your directors, officers, managers, members, partners, employees, affiliates, assigns, representatives (including, without limitation, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“Morgan Stanley”) in its capacity as your representative, and all of your other financial advisors, attorneys and accountants), investors, agents or similar persons or entities (collectively, “your Representatives”) furnish us or our directors, officers, managers, members, partners, employees, affiliates, assigns, representatives (including, without limitation, financial advisors, attorneys and accountants), investors, agents or similar persons or entities (collectively, “our Representatives”) with certain information relating to the Company and its affiliates, the Transaction and the assets being contributed and sold to the Company by Theravance Biopharma R&D, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Theravance Biopharma R&D”), subject in each case to the confidentiality requirements that exist with third parties in respect of such information.  All such information (whether written, visual or oral, and whether tangible or electronic) furnished on or after the date hereof by you or your Representatives (including, without limitation, the research report (or reports) of L.E.K. Consulting LLC and such other information made available in a dataroom via IntraLinks or otherwise) to us or our Representatives (without regard to whether it is at our request), including, without limitation, the Summary of Terms and any materials containing, based on or derived from any such information (including, without limitation, intellectual property analyses, any financial models or other analyses, compilations, forecasts, studies or other documents based thereon) prepared by us or our Representatives or Morgan Stanley in connection with our or our Representatives’ review of, or our interest in, the Transaction is hereinafter referred to as the “Information.”  The term Information will not, however, include information that we can demonstrate (i) is already known by us at the time that such information is disclosed (unless such information was disclosed to us under a confidentiality agreement or other obligation of confidentiality), (ii) is or thereafter becomes available in the public domain, other than as a result of any breach by us or our Representatives of our obligations hereunder or under any other obligation of confidentiality, (iii) is obtained by us from another source without, to our knowledge after reasonable inquiry, breach of such source’s obligations of confidentiality or (iv) is independently developed by our Representatives who have not had access to the Information.

 

As a condition to receiving the Information, we hereby agree as follows:

 

B-1











 

1.                                      We hereby agree, and agree to cause our Representatives, (i) to keep the Information confidential, (ii) to use the Information solely for the purpose of evaluating, entering into, monitoring or enforcing the Transaction and (iii) not to, without your prior written consent, disclose any Information in any manner whatsoever; provided, however, that we may reveal the Information to (a) our Representatives who need to know the Information for the purpose of evaluating, entering into, monitoring or enforcing the Transaction or (b) governmental authorities or regulatory agencies in order to comply with any applicable law, rule, regulation or legal process or pursuant to requests of governmental authorities or regulatory agencies having oversight over us or our Representatives, and only after compliance with paragraph 3 below, provided, that all of such persons and entities listed in clause (a) above shall agree to keep such Information confidential, and only to use such Information, on terms that are substantially the same as the terms we are subject to herein, and, provided, further, that we shall be wholly responsible for the full compliance of such confidentiality agreement by any of the persons or entities listed in clause (a) above to which we disclosed Information.  Notwithstanding and without limitation of the foregoing, we and our Representatives agree not to reveal Information to advisors who are principally engaged in the business of investment banking, capital markets or securitization of financial assets without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley in its capacity as one of your Representatives.

 

2.                                      We hereby agree, and agree to cause our Representatives, whether or not the Transaction is consummated, not to (except as required by applicable law, rule, regulation or legal process or pursuant to requests of governmental authorities or regulatory agencies having oversight over us or our Representatives, and only after compliance with paragraph 3 below), without your prior written consent, disclose to any person or entity the fact that the Information or the Transaction exists or has been made available, that we are considering the Transaction, that (if prior to consummation of the Transaction) you are considering the Transaction, or that discussions or negotiations are taking or have taken place concerning the Transaction or any term, condition or other fact relating to the Transaction or such discussions or negotiations, including, without limitation, the status thereof.

 

3.                                      In the event that we or any of our Representatives are required by applicable law, rule, regulation or legal process or pursuant to requests of governmental authorities or regulatory agencies having oversight over us or our Representatives to disclose any of the Information, we agree to notify you promptly (unless such notice is not permitted by applicable law, rule or regulation) so that you may seek, at your own expense (and we will cooperate in good faith and use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist with your efforts to seek), a protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in your sole discretion, waive compliance with the terms of this agreement (this “Confidentiality Agreement”).  In the event that no such protective order or other remedy is obtained, or that you do not waive compliance with the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement, we agree to furnish only that portion of the Information that we are advised by counsel (which may be internal counsel) is legally required and will exercise all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Information.

 

4.                                      If we determine not to proceed with the Transaction or we cease to have an interest arising from the Transaction, we will promptly inform you of that decision or event

and, in that case, and at any time upon your request or the request of any of your Representatives, we and our Representatives agree to (i) promptly deliver to you all copies of the Information in our possession (except as described in the following proviso), (ii) promptly destroy all copies of any written Information (whether in tangible or electronic form, or otherwise) that we and our Representatives have created, including, without limitation, any notes we have taken on any discussions with you or your Representatives, and upon your request such return and destruction shall be certified in writing (including, without limitation, via email) to you by a responsible officer supervising such return and destruction (provided in each case that an appropriate person within our organization may retain one copy of the Information, subject to the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement, if required to comply with internal record retention policies or regulatory considerations, in which case, regardless of paragraph 16 below, the confidentiality provisions and restrictions on use set forth in this Confidentiality Agreement will continue to apply to such Information for so long as it is retained by such person or any other of our Representatives) and (iii) certify that clauses (i) and (ii) above have been complied with.  Any visual, oral or other Information not returned to you or destroyed in accordance with the preceding sentence will continue to be subject to the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement, regardless of paragraph 16 below.

 

5.                                      We acknowledge that you have not updated, and have no obligation to update, the Summary of Terms in any respect for events, developments or circumstances.  We further acknowledge that neither you nor any of your Representatives, nor any of your or their respective officers, directors, managers, members, partners, employees, agents or controlling persons within the meaning of Section 20 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, makes any express or implied representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the Information, and we agree that no such person or entity will have any liability relating to the Information or for any errors therein or omissions therefrom.  We further agree that we are not entitled to rely on the accuracy or completeness of the Information.

 

6.                                      We acknowledge that we are aware of the restrictions imposed by the United States securities laws on the purchase or sale of securities of an issuer or an affiliate or controlling person of the issuer while in possession of material, non-public information and on the communication of such information to any other person or entity.  We represent that we maintain effective internal procedures with respect to maintaining the confidentiality and use of the Information and that we will not use the Information for any purpose in violation of United States securities laws or any other applicable laws.  We further represent that we are a qualified purchaser within the meaning of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that is also (i) a qualified institutional buyer (as defined in Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), (ii) an institutional accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act) or (iii) a non-U.S. person within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act and acknowledge and agree that, by our purchase of any Notes, we will be deemed to have made the representations, agreements and acknowledgments set forth in the Indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of November 30, 2018 between the Company, as the issuer, and the initial trustee, transfer agent, paying agent, registrar and calculation agent named therein, relating to the Notes.

7.                                      We hereby certify that we are not a Restricted Party.  For purposes of this Confidentiality Agreement, “Restricted Party” means any of Almirall, AstraZeneca, Boehringer Ingelheim, Innoviva, Chiesi, Forest Laboratories, Merck, Mylan, Novartis, Sandoz, Teva and any other pharmaceutical or biotechnology company with a product either being developed or commercialized for the treatment of respiratory disease, and their respective Restricted Party Affiliates; provided, that Theravance Biopharma, Inc. or any of its affiliates shall not be deemed as a Restricted Party.

(collectively, the “Notes”)

 

The Issuer referred to above is putting the participants in the Clearing Agency on notice that they are required to follow these purchase and transfer restrictions with regard to the above-referenced Notes.

 

In order to qualify for the exemption provided by Section 3(c)(7) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and the exemption provided by Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), offers, sales and resales of the above-referenced Notes may only be made to persons that are (i) “qualified institutional buyers” (“QIBs”) within the meaning of Rule 144A that are also “qualified purchasers” (“QPs”) within the meaning of the Investment Company Act, and (ii) not U.S. Persons (“U.S. Persons”) as defined in Regulation S (“Regulation S”) under the Securities Act (“Non-U.S. Persons”) in offshore transactions in accordance with Regulation S that are also QPs.

 

Each purchaser of the Notes that is acquiring an interest in the Notes pursuant to Rule 144A represents to and agrees with the Issuer that, unless the purchaser is the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer, the purchaser (1) is both a QIB and a QP, (2) is not a Restricted Party, (3) is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (4) is acquiring such Notes for its own account or for the account of a QIB (who is also a QP) over which it exercises sole investment discretion, (5) is not (and any such account is not) a pension, profit-sharing or other retirement trust fund or plan in which the partners, beneficiaries or participants, as applicable, may designate the particular investments to be made, (6) is not (x) a broker dealer of the type described in paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of Rule 144A unless it owns and invests on a discretionary basis not less than U.S. $25,000,000 in securities of issuers that are not affiliated to it, (y) a participant-directed employee plan, such as a 401(k) plan, or any other type of plan referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(D) or (a)(1)(i)(E) of Rule 144A, or (z) a trust fund referred to in paragraph 

 

G-1











 

(a)(1)(i)(F) of Rule 144A that holds the assets of such a plan, unless investment decisions with respect to the plan are made solely by the fiduciary, trustee or sponsor of such plan, (7) was not formed or capitalized for the specific purpose of investing in the Issuer (except where each beneficial holder is both a QIB and a QP), (8) is not a (w) corporation, (x) partnership, (y) common trust fund or (z) special trust, pension fund or retirement plan in which the shareholders, equity owners, partners, beneficiaries, beneficial holders or participants, as applicable, may designate the particular investments to be made, (9) if formed on or before April 30, 1996, is not an investment company that relies on the exclusion from the definition of “investment company” provided by Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act (or a foreign investment company under Section 7(d) thereof relying on Section 3(c)(7) with respect to those of its holders that are U.S. Persons), unless, with respect to its treatment as a QP, it has, in the manner required by Section 2(a)(51)(C) of the Investment Company Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, received the consent of its beneficial holders that acquired their interests on or before April 30, 1996, and (10) is not an entity that, immediately subsequent to its purchase or other acquisition of an interest in the Notes, will have invested more than 40% of its assets in beneficial interests in the Notes and/or in other securities of the Issuer (unless all of the beneficial holders of such entity’s securities are QPs).

 

Each purchaser of the Notes that is acquiring an interest in the Notes pursuant to Regulation S (i) represents to and agrees with the Issuer that the purchaser is (A) not a U.S. Person and is purchasing the Notes outside the United States in an offshore transaction in reliance on Regulation S and (B) a QP and (ii) acknowledges that the Issuer has not been registered under the Investment Company Act and the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and represents to and agrees with the Issuer that, for so long as the Notes are outstanding, it will not offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Notes in the United States or to a U.S. Person except to a QIB that is also a QP in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A.  Each purchaser further understands that the Notes will bear a legend with respect to such transfer restrictions.

 

The Indenture, dated as of November 30, 2018, entered into between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, as initial trustee, transfer agent, paying agent, registrar and calculation agent permits the Issuer to compel any non-permitted holder of an interest in the Notes to sell its interest in the Notes or may sell such interest in the Notes on behalf of such owner.  In connection therewith, the Indenture permits the Issuer to require that the holder of (i) any interest in a Rule 144A Global Note or a holder who was sold such interest who is determined not to have been both a Qualified Institutional Buyer and a Qualified Purchaser at the time of acquisition of such interest in a Rule 144A Global Note, in each case other than the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer, or who is determined to be a Restricted Party, (ii) any interest in a Regulation S Global Note held by a holder that is a U.S. Person, a holder that is not a Qualified Purchaser or a holder who was sold such interest in the United States, in each case at the time of the acquisition of such interest, in each case other than the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer, or who is determined to be a Restricted Party, or (iii) any interest in a Global Note to a Person that otherwise breaches any other ERISA-related representations, warranties or covenants deemed or required to be made by a Person holding an interest in such Global Note pursuant to this Indenture, to sell such interest to a transferee that is permitted under the Indenture and, if the 

 

G-2











 

holder does not comply with such demand within thirty (30) days thereof, the Issuer may sell such holder’s interest in the applicable Global Note on such terms as the Issuer may choose.

 

The Issuer will request that the restrictions on transfer required by it (outlined above) will be reflected under the notation “3c7” in, but not limited to, the Clearing Agency’s user manual and in upcoming editions of the Clearing Agency’s Reference Directory.
