Upon the resignation or termination of the Authenticating Agent and prior to the appointment of a successor, the Indenture Trustee shall act as Authenticating Agent.

(iv)    Regulation S Global Note to Restricted Global Note.  If a Holder of or a Note Owner with respect to a Regulation S Global Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Regulation S Global Note for an interest in a Restricted Global Note or to Transfer such Regulation S Global Note or an Ownership Interest therein to a Qualified Institutional Buyer who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a Restricted Global Note or an Ownership Interest therein, such Noteholder or Note Owner may, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.05, exchange or Transfer such Regulation S Global Note for a Restricted Global Note of the same Series and Class or an Ownership Interest therein in an equivalent principal amount.

(v)    Transfer of Ownership Interests in Book-Entry Notes.  Ownership Interests in Book-Entry Notes shall be exchanged or transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository and the Depository Participants, including, with respect to Regulation S Global Notes, Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, or its successors, and Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System, or its successors.

If any Book-Entry Note or an Ownership Interest therein is to be exchanged for a corresponding interest held in the form of a Definitive Note, or if any Transfer of a Book-Entry Note or an Ownership Interest therein is to be held by the related transferee in the form of a Definitive Note, then the Note Registrar shall refuse to register such exchange or Transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) (A) an executed transferor certificate from the transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-1 (subject to Section 12.03), and (B) an executed transferee certificate from the prospective transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-2 (subject to Section 12.03).  If any such transfer of a Book-Entry Note or Ownership Interest held by the related transferor and also to be held by the related transferee in the form of a Book-Entry Note is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, the transferor will be deemed to have made as of the transfer date each of the representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit C-1 in respect of such Note and the transferee will be deemed to have made as of the transfer date each of the representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit C-2 in respect of such Note, in each case as if such Note were evidenced by a Definitive Note.

(i)    No Transfer of any Definitive Note shall be made unless such Transfer is made to a Qualified Institutional Buyer in reliance on Rule 144A or in an “offshore transaction” (within the meaning of Regulation S) to a non-U.S. Person in reliance on Regulation S, and pursuant to exemption, registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws; provided, however, that a Noteholder may Transfer a Definitive Note to an Issuer or an Affiliate of an Issuer that is an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501(a) (1), (2), (3) or (7) of the Securities Act (an “Accredited Investor”) and has certified that it is an Affiliate of an Issuer and an Accredited Investor, upon Indenture Trustee’s receipt of (A) such Holder’s Definitive Note properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee, (B) an executed transferor certificate from the transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-1 (subject to Section 12.03), and (C) an executed transferee certificate from the prospective transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-2 (subject to Section 12.03). The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon the representations made or deemed made by each transferee pursuant to this Section 2.05, and shall have no duty to undertake any investigation or verify that any Transfer satisfies the requirements of this paragraph.
(ii)    Transfer of Definitive Note to Regulation S Global Note during Restricted Period.  If a Holder of or a Note Owner with respect to a Definitive Note wishes at any time during the Restricted Period to exchange its interest in such Definitive Note for an interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note, or to Transfer such Definitive Note or an Ownership Interest therein to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a Regulation S Global Note or an Ownership Interest therein, such Holder or Note Owner may, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.05, exchange or Transfer such Definitive Note for a Regulation S Global Note of the same Series and Class or an Ownership Interest therein with an equivalent principal amount.  Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of (A) such Holder’s Definitive Note properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee and (B) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 (subject to Section 12.03) given by the transferee of such Note or Ownership Interest (stating that such transferee is a non-U.S. Person and the exchange or Transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to such Notes and in accordance with Regulation S), the Indenture Trustee shall cancel the Definitive Note so exchanged or transferred (or reduce the principal amount of the Notes evidenced thereby), the applicable Issuers shall, concurrently with such cancellation (or reduction), issue and the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be authenticated to the transferee a Regulation S Global Note of the same Series and Class (or increase the principal amount of the Notes evidenced by such Regulation S Global Note) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note so exchanged or transferred.
(iii)    Transfer of Definitive Note to Regulation S Global Note after the Expiration of Restricted Period.  If a Holder of or a Note Owner with respect to a Definitive Note wishes at any time after the expiration of the Restricted Period to exchange its interest in such Definitive Note for an interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note, or to Transfer such Definitive Note or an Ownership Interest therein to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a Regulation S Global Note or an Ownership Interest therein, such Noteholder or Note Owner may, subject to provisions of this Section 2.05, exchange or Transfer such Definitive Note for a Regulation S Global Note of the same Series and Class or an Ownership Interest therein with an equivalent principal amount.  Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of (A) such Holder’s Definitive Note properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee and (B) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-3 (subject to Section 12.03) given by the transferee (stating that the Transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to such Notes and pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S), the Indenture Trustee shall cancel the Definitive Note so exchanged or transferred (or reduce the principal amount of the Notes evidenced thereby) and the applicable Issuers shall, concurrently with such cancellation (or reduction), issue and the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be authenticated to the transferee a Regulation S Global Note of the same Series and Class (or increase the principal amount of the Notes evidenced by such Regulation S Global Note) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note so exchanged or transferred. 
(iv)    Transfer of Definitive Note to Restricted Global Note.  If a Holder of or a Note Owner with respect to a Definitive Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Definitive Note for an interest in a Restricted Global Note or to Transfer such Definitive Note or an Ownership Interest therein to a Qualified Institutional Buyer who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a Restricted Global Note or an Ownership Interest therein, such Noteholder or Note Owner may, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.05, exchange or Transfer such Definitive Note for a Restricted Global Note of the same Series and Class or an Ownership Interest therein in an equivalent principal amount.  Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of (A) such Holder’s Definitive Note properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee and (B) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 (subject to Section 12.03) given by the transferee and stating that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and is obtaining such Restricted Global Note or Ownership Interest therein in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, the Indenture Trustee shall cancel the Definitive Note so exchanged or transferred (or reduce the principal amount of the Notes evidenced thereby) and the applicable Issuers shall, concurrently with such cancellation (or reduction), issue and the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be authenticated to the transferee a Restricted Global Note of the same Series and Class (or increase the principal amount of the Notes evidenced by such Restricted Global Note) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note so exchanged or transferred.
(v)    Transfer of Definitive Note to Definitive Note. If a Holder of a Definitive Note wishes at any time to transfer such Definitive Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of one or more Definitive Notes, such Holder may transfer or cause the transfer of such Note as provided below. Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of (A) such Holder’s Definitive Note, properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee, (B) an executed transferor certificate from the transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-1 (subject to Section 12.03), and (C) an executed transferee certificate from the prospective transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-2 (subject to Section 12.03), then the Indenture Trustee shall cancel such original Definitive Note in accordance with Section 2.14, record the transfer in the Note Register in accordance with Section 2.05 and upon execution by the Issuer, authenticate and deliver one or more Definitive Notes bearing the same designation as the Definitive Notes, endorsed for transfer, registered in the names specified in the assignment described in clause (A) above, in the aggregate Note Balances designated by the transferee (the aggregate Note Balances being equal to the aggregate Note Balance of the Definitive Notes, surrendered by the transferor), and in authorized denominations.
(e)    If a Person is acquiring any Note as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person shall be required to deliver to the Note Registrar a certification to the effect that, and such other evidence as may be reasonably required by the Note Registrar to confirm that, it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and (ii) full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties, certifications and agreements with respect to each such account as set forth in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 2.05.
(f)    Subject to the preceding provisions of this Section 2.05, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the offices of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose, the applicable Issuers shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be authenticated and delivered, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of the same Series and Class of a like Percentage Interest.
(g)    At the option of any Holder, its Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of authorized denominations of the same Series and Class of a like Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the offices of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the applicable Issuers shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be authenticated and delivered the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
(h)    Every Note presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Note Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(i)    All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange of the Notes shall be the valid obligations of the applicable Issuers, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the related Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(j)    No service charge shall be imposed for any transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes.
(k)    All Notes surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be physically canceled by the Note Registrar, and the Note Registrar shall dispose of such canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures.
(l)    The Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall provide to the Issuers, the Property Manager and the Special Servicer upon reasonable written request and at the expense of the requesting party a current copy of the Note Register.
(m)    Each transferee of a Note or an Ownership Interest therein will be deemed to have represented, warranted and agreed (or, in the case of Definitive Notes, shall represent, warrant and agree) that either (i) such transferee is not, and is not purchasing such Note on behalf of, as a fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with the assets of, a Plan or (ii)(A) such Note is rated investment grade or better as of the date of the purchase, (B) such transferee acknowledges that it cannot acquire such Note unless it is properly treated as indebtedness without substantial equity features for purposes of Department of Labor Regulations, as modified by ERISA, and agrees to so treat such Note and (C) such transferee’s acquisition and continued holding of such Note or Ownership Interest therein will not constitute or give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction described in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or a violation of any law substantially similar to Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA).
(n)    If any Note or Class of Notes is directly or indirectly owned by a Person such that such Note or Class of Notes is not properly treated as issued and outstanding for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Transfer-Restricted Note”), then such Transfer-Restricted Note may be sold or transferred to any Person if (a) the receipt by the Note Registrar on the date of such transfer of an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel knowledgeable in the tax aspects of securitization to the effect that at the time of such sale or transfer for U.S. federal income tax purposes (1) such Transfer-Restricted Note is treated as indebtedness and (2) such sale or transfer will not cause any Issuer to be treated as an association or “publicly traded partnership” that is taxable as a corporation or as a “taxable mortgage pool”, or (b) (1) the number of beneficial owners of the Transfer-Restricted Notes and the equity interests of each Issuer does not exceed the 95-Person Limit (as defined below) for U.S. federal income tax purposes after the proposed sale or transfer, (2) the Transfer-Restricted Notes are in physical form and (3) the Note Transfer Restrictions (as defined below) shall have been complied with.  
For purposes of complying with alternative (b) above in this Section 2.05(m) with respect to the proposed sale or transfer of a Transfer-Restricted Note, each prospective beneficial owner of any Transfer-Restricted Note shall represent, warrant and covenant to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuers in writing, on the date of such proposed sale or transfer, that (a) it is a U.S. Person within the meaning of Code section 7701(a)(30), (b) either (1) such beneficial owner is not a partnership, grantor trust or S corporation (a “Flow-Through Entity”) or (2) if such beneficial owner is a Flow-Through Entity or indirectly owns an interest in the Transfer-Restricted Notes through a Flow-Through Entity, (i) more than 50% of the value of such beneficial owner’s ownership interest in the Flow-Through Entity is not attributable to the Flow-Through Entity’s interest in the Transfer-Restricted Notes and (ii) a principal purpose of the use of the Flow-Through Entity is not to enable the beneficial owners of the Transfer-Restricted Notes to exceed 95 persons (the “95-Person Limit”) and (c) it (1) will not use the Transfer-Restricted Notes and will not allow the Transfer-Restricted Notes to be used as collateral for the issuance of any securities that could cause any Issuer to become taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (2) will not take any action and will not allow any other action that could cause any Issuer to become taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (the “Note Transfer Restrictions”). 
Section 2.06    Book-Entry Notes.
(a)    The Book-Entry Notes of each Series shall be delivered as one or more Notes held by the Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to hold such Notes as provided below, the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and, except as set forth in any related Series Supplement or as otherwise provided in Section 2.06(c) below, transfer of such Notes may not be registered by the Note Registrar unless such transfer is to a successor Depository that agrees to hold such Notes for the respective Note Owners with Ownership Interests therein.  Except as provided in Sections 2.01 and 2.05 above, and Section 2.06(c) below, such Note Owners shall hold and transfer their respective Ownership Interests in and to such Notes through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided in Sections 2.01 and 2.05 above, and Section 2.06(c) below, shall not be entitled to Definitive Notes in respect of such Ownership Interests.  All transfers by Note Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Notes to be held by the related transferees as Book-Entry Notes shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing each such Note Owner.  Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Notes of Note Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures.  The Indenture Trustee is hereby initially appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depository authorizing it to act as such.  Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall have any responsibility to monitor or restrict the transfer of any Book-Entry Note transferable through the book-entry facilities of the Depository.  The Book-Entry Custodian may, and, if it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Issuers, the Property Manager and Special Servicer, and, if the Indenture Trustee is not the Book-Entry Custodian, the Indenture Trustee, any other transfer agent (including the Depository or any successor Depository) to act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the Depository or any successor Depository may prescribe; provided, that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by reason of any such appointment other than with respect to an appointment of the Depository.  If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor trustee or, if it so elects, the Depository shall immediately succeed to its predecessor’s duties as Book-Entry Custodian.  The Issuers shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Notes held as Book-Entry Notes by the Book-Entry Custodian.
(b)    The Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Property Manager, the Special Servicer, the Back-Up Manager and the Note Registrar may for all purposes, including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Notes, deal with the Depository as the Noteholder and the authorized representative of the Note Owners with respect to such Notes for the purposes of exercising the rights of Noteholders hereunder.  The rights of Note Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Notes shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Note Owners, and all references in this Indenture to actions by the Noteholders shall refer to actions taken by the Depository upon instructions from the Depository Participants, and all references in this Indenture to distributions, notices, reports and statements to the Noteholders shall refer to distributions, notices, reports and statements to the Depositor, as registered holder of the Notes of such Series of Notes for distribution to the Note Owners in accordance with the procedures of the Depository.  Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as holder of the Book-Entry Notes with respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Note Owners.  The Indenture Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Noteholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.  Whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage of the principal amount of Notes, the applicable Depository shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or their related Depository Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.  Whenever notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to such Note Owners, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuers shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Noteholders to the applicable Depository for distribution to the Note Owners.
(c)    If (i) the Issuers advise the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Notes (or any portion thereof), and (ii) the Issuers are unable to locate a qualified successor, the Note Registrar shall notify all affected Note Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to such Note Owners requesting the same.  Upon surrender to the Note Registrar of the Book-Entry Notes (or any portion thereof) by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as applicable, and the delivery of registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the applicable Issuers shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be authenticated and delivered, the Definitive Notes in respect of such Notes to the Note Owners identified in such instructions.  None of the applicable Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Property Manager, the Special Servicer, the Back-Up Manager or the Note Registrar shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
(d)    Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, for purposes of evidencing ownership of any Notes formerly held as Book-Entry Notes, the registered holders of such Definitive Notes shall be recognized as Noteholders hereunder and, accordingly, shall be entitled directly to receive payments on, to exercise voting and consent rights with respect to, and to transfer and exchange such Definitive Notes.  Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the applicable Depository with respect to such Notes shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Noteholders of the Definitive Notes of such Series of Notes as Noteholders of such Series of Notes hereunder.
(e)    Each of the Issuers shall provide an adequate inventory of Definitive Notes of each Class of each Series to the Indenture Trustee.
Section 2.07    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.
If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Note Registrar, the applicable Issuers shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be authenticated and delivered, in exchange therefor, a new Note of the same Series, Class and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
If there shall be delivered to the applicable Issuers, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction (including mutilation tantamount to destruction), loss or theft of any Note and the ownership thereof, and (ii) indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to hold each of them and any of their agents harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the applicable Issuers or the Note Registrar that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the applicable Issuers shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be authenticated and delivered, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of the same Series, Class, tenor and denomination registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.07, the applicable Issuers, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar may require the payment by the Noteholder of an amount sufficient to pay or discharge any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Authenticating Agent and the Indenture Trustee) in connection therewith.
Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 in lieu of any destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuers, whether or not the destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by any Person, and such new Note shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes of its Class and Series duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
Section 2.08    Noteholder Lists.
The Note Registrar shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of the Noteholders of each Series, which list, upon request, will be made available to the Indenture Trustee insofar as the Indenture Trustee is no longer the Note Registrar.  Upon written request of any Noteholder made for purposes of communicating with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture, the Note Registrar shall promptly furnish such Noteholder at such Noteholder’s expense with a list of the Noteholders of record identified in the Note Register at the time of the request.  Every Noteholder, by receiving such access, or by receiving a Note or an interest therein, agrees with the Note Registrar that the Note Registrar will not be held accountable in any way by reason of the disclosure of any information as to the names and addresses of any Noteholder regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
Section 2.09    Persons Deemed Owners.
The Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and any of their agents, may treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the owner of such Note as of the related Record Date for the purpose of receiving payments of principal, interest and other amounts in respect of such Note and for all other purposes, whether or not such Note shall be overdue, and none of the Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or any agents of any of them, shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 2.10    Payment Account.
(a)    On or prior to the Initial Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more segregated trust accounts (collectively, the “Payment Account”) at Citibank, N.A., in its name, as Indenture Trustee, bearing a designation clearly indicating that such account and all funds deposited therein are held for the exclusive benefit of the Noteholders and the Issuers as their interests may appear. At all times, the Payment Account shall be an Eligible Account or a sub-account of an Eligible Account. On each Remittance Date, the Indenture Trustee shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Payment Account, as provided in the Property Management Agreement, the Available Amounts for such Payment Date.  Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, shall have exclusive control and sole right of withdrawal with respect to the Payment Account.  Funds in the Payment Account shall not be commingled with any other moneys.  All moneys deposited from time to time in the Payment Account shall be held by and under the control of the Indenture Trustee in the Payment Account for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Issuers as herein provided.
(b)    Amounts in the Payment Account shall be held uninvested.
(c)    The Indenture Trustee is authorized to make withdrawals from the Payment Account (the order set forth hereafter in this subsection (c) not constituting an order of priority for such withdrawals) to make payments on the Notes and to other parties as set forth in the priorities of payments pursuant to Section 2.11(b) of this Indenture, to the Issuers as provided in Section 2.11.
(d)    Upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Section 3.01, the Indenture Trustee shall pay to the holders of the Issuer Interests, as their interests may appear, all amounts, if any, held by it remaining as part of the Collateral Pool.
Section 2.11    Payments on the Notes.
(a)    Subject to Section 2.11(b), the applicable Issuers agree to pay:
(i)    on each Payment Date prior to the Rated Final Payment Date for the Classes of each Series of Notes (but only to the extent of the Available Amount pursuant to Section 2.11(b), in the case of payments of principal), interest on and principal of such Notes in the amounts and in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 2.11(b); and
(ii)    on the Rated Final Payment Date for the Classes of each Series of Notes, the entire applicable Series Principal Balance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a payment to any Holder of a Note of interest, principal or other amounts, or any such payment set aside on the Final Payment Date for such Note as provided in Section 2.11(b), shall be considered as having been paid by the applicable Issuers to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture.
(b)    With respect to each Payment Date, any interest, principal and other amounts payable on the Notes shall be paid to each Person that is a registered holder thereof at the close of business on the related Record Date; provided, however, that interest, principal and other amounts payable at the Final Payment Date of any Note shall be payable only against surrender thereof at the Indenture Trustee’s Office or such other address as may be specified in the notice of final payment.  Payments of interest, principal and other amounts on the Notes shall be made on each Payment Date other than the Final Payment Date, subject to Applicable Law, by wire transfer to such accounts as each such Noteholder shall designate by written instruction received by the Indenture Trustee not later than the Record Date related to such Payment Date or otherwise by check mailed on or before such Payment Date to the Person entitled thereto at such Person’s address appearing on the Note Register as of the related Record Date.  The Indenture Trustee shall pay each Note in whole or in part as provided herein on its Final Payment Date in immediately available funds from funds in the Payment Account as promptly as possible after presentation to the Indenture Trustee of such Note at the Indenture Trustee’s Office, but in no event later than the next Business Day after the day of such presentation.  If presentation is made after 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on any day, such presentation shall be deemed to have been made on the immediately succeeding Business Day.
Each payment with respect to a Book-Entry Note shall be paid to the Depository, as holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such payment to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures.  Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such payments to the related Note Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which it acts as agent.  Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the related Note Owners that it represents.  None of the parties hereto shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Indenture or Applicable Law.  The applicable Issuers and the Indenture Trustee shall perform their respective obligations under each Letter of Representations.
Except as provided in the following sentence, if a Note is issued in exchange for any other Note during the period commencing at the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on any Record Date and ending before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related Payment Date, no interest, principal or other amounts will be payable on such Payment Date in respect of such new Note, but will be payable on such Payment Date only in respect of the prior Note.  Interest, principal and other amounts payable on any Note issued in exchange for any other Note during the period commencing at the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on the Record Date immediately preceding the Final Payment Date for such Notes and ending on the Final Payment Date for such Notes, shall be payable to the Person that surrenders the new Note as provided in this Section 2.11(b).
All payments of interest, principal and other amounts made with respect to the Notes of a Class of any Series will be allocated pro rata among the Outstanding Notes of such Class as set forth below.
If any Note on which the final payment was due is not presented for payment on its Final Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee shall set aside such payment in a segregated, non-interest bearing account (and shall remain uninvested) separate from the Payment Account (but which may be a sub-account thereof) but which constitutes an Eligible Account (or a sub-account of an Eligible Account), and the Indenture Trustee and the Issuers shall act in accordance with Section 5.10 in respect of the unclaimed funds.
On each Payment Date, the Available Amount on such Payment Date will be applied by the Indenture Trustee, first to pay the following expenses of the Issuers related to the Notes (collectively, “Collateral Pool Expenses”) to the extent not withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Property Manager on or prior to the applicable Remittance Date in accordance with the Property Management Agreement in the following order of priority: 
(I) to the Indenture Trustee, the earned and unpaid Indenture Trustee Fees; 
(II) to the Property Manager, the earned and unpaid Property Management Fee; 
(III) to the Special Servicer, any earned and unpaid Special Servicing Fees; 
(IV) to the Back-Up Manager, any earned and unpaid Back-Up Fee; 
(V) to the Property Manager, the Special Servicer, the Back-Up Manager and the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, an amount equal to all unreimbursed Advances, including Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate) and Extraordinary Expenses for such Payment Date and to the extent unpaid from any prior Payment Date with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate (in the case of Extraordinary Expenses, not to exceed the Extraordinary Expense Cap, unless an Event of Default resulting in the acceleration of any Notes has occurred and is then continuing, in which case, such Extraordinary Expense Cap will not apply); 
(VI) to the parties entitled thereto, the amount of any Issuer Expenses (not to exceed the Issuer Expense Cap, unless an Event of Default resulting in the acceleration of any Notes has occurred and is then continuing, in which case, such Issuer Expense Cap will not apply); and 
(VII) (a) first, to the Indenture Trustee in any of its capacities under the Indenture, (b) second, to the Property Manager and the Special Servicer, and (c) third, to the relevant party, the amount of Extraordinary Expenses for such Payment Date and to the extent unpaid from any prior Payment Date, to the extent not already reimbursed in sub-clauses (I) through (VI) above, in each case, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate (not to exceed the Extraordinary Expense Cap, unless an Event of Default resulting in the acceleration of any Notes has occurred and is then continuing, in which case (i) such Extraordinary Expense Cap will not apply and (ii) indemnities due to the Issuers or any Control Person, member, manager, officer, employee or agent of any such Issuers, other than any such party in connection with its role as Property Manager or Special Servicer, will be payable only after payments due to the Noteholders pursuant to the allocation of Series Available Amount below).
Subject to the terms and provisions of each Series Supplement, the Available Amount remaining on any Payment Date after payment of Collateral Pool Expenses will be allocated in the following manner and priority (the aggregate amount allocated pursuant to clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), (6) and (7) below, the “Series Available Amount”):
(1)    to each Series, Note Interest, allocated pro rata based on all amounts due on such Payment Date to each Series in respect of Note Interest on the Notes (plus all unpaid Note Interest from prior Payment Dates and interest thereon at the applicable Note Rates);
(2)    so long as no Early Amortization Period is in effect, sequentially:
		
	a.
	to each Series, the Scheduled Principal Payment for each such Payment Date, allocated pro rata based on all amounts due on such Payment Date for such Series in respect of the applicable Scheduled Principal Payment on the related Notes; provided, however, that any Scheduled Principal Payment allocated to any Series shall not exceed the Series Principal Balance of such Series; and

(b)    The Indenture Trustee shall, on behalf of the applicable Issuers, distribute amounts due to each Hedge Counterparty under the applicable Hedge Agreements on any Payment Date from the Payment Account in accordance with Section 2.11 and the applicable Series Supplement.
(c)    The Indenture Trustee shall agree to any reduction in the notional amount of any Hedge Agreement requested by the applicable Issuers; provided, that, if any Notes are then Outstanding and rated by the Rating Agencies, the Indenture Trustee shall first have received the written confirmation that the Rating Condition is satisfied. Any amount paid by a Hedge Counterparty to the applicable Issuers in connection with such reduction shall constitute part of the Available Amount except as otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement.
(d)    Each Hedge Agreement (unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement) shall permit the complete or partial termination thereof (without the payment by the applicable Issuers of penalties or fees other than termination-related expenses) by the applicable Issuers subject to the provision of at least ten (10) Business Days notification to the Rating Agencies. The Indenture Trustee shall, prior to each applicable Series Closing Dates if required by the applicable Series Supplement, establish at Citibank, N.A. (or at such other financial institution as provided in the applicable Series Supplement and as necessary to ensure that the Hedge Counterparty Account is at all times an Eligible Account or a sub-account of an Eligible Account) a segregated trust account that shall be designated as a “Hedge Counterparty Account”, in its name, as Indenture Trustee, bearing a designation clearly indicating that such account and all funds deposited therein are held for the exclusive benefit of the applicable Noteholders, over which the Indenture Trustee shall have exclusive control and the sole right of withdrawal, and in which neither the applicable Issuers nor any other Person shall have any legal or beneficial interest.  The Hedge Counterparty Accounts may be sub-accounts of the Payment Account.  The only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, a Hedge Counterparty Account shall be for application to obligations of the applicable Hedge Counterparty to the applicable Issuers under the related Hedge Agreement.
(e)    In the event a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee becomes aware that a Hedge Counterparty has defaulted in the payment when due of its obligations to the applicable Issuers under the related Hedge Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall make a demand on such Hedge Counterparty, or any guarantor, if applicable, demanding payment by 12:30 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or by such time on the next succeeding Business Day if such actual knowledge is obtained by such Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee after 11:00 a.m., New York City time).  The Indenture Trustee shall give notice to the applicable Noteholders upon the continuing failure by such Hedge Counterparty to perform its obligations during the two (2) Business Days following a demand made by the Indenture Trustee on such Hedge Counterparty.
(f)    If at any time a Hedge Agreement becomes subject to early termination due to the occurrence thereunder of an event of default or a termination event, the applicable Issuers and the Indenture Trustee shall take such actions (following the expiration of any applicable grace period and after the expiration of the two (2) Business Day period referred to in Section 2.16(e), as applicable) to enforce the rights of the applicable Issuers and the Indenture Trustee thereunder as may be permitted by the terms of such Hedge Agreement and consistent with the terms hereof, and shall apply the proceeds of any such actions (including, without limitation, the proceeds of the liquidation of any collateral pledged by the related Hedge Counterparty) to enter into a replacement Hedge Agreement on such terms or provide such other substitute arrangement (or forebear from doing either of the foregoing) as provided in the applicable Series Supplement. Any costs attributable to entering into a replacement Hedge Agreement which exceed the aggregate amount of the proceeds of the liquidation of the terminated Hedge Agreement shall constitute Issuer Expenses payable under Section 2.11(b). In addition, the applicable Issuers will use their best efforts to cause the termination of a Hedge Agreement to become effective simultaneously with the entry into a replacement Hedge Agreement described as aforesaid.
(g)    The applicable obligations under a Hedge Agreement must be non-recourse obligations of the applicable Issuers payable only to the extent of available funds in accordance with Section 2.11(b).  In addition, the provisions under each Hedge Agreement shall provide that the related Hedge Counterparty shall not institute against, or join any other person or entity in instituting against, any of the Issuers, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law (including the Bankruptcy Code), for two (2) years and thirty-one (31) days after the last Note issued by the Issuers is paid in full, and that the agreements in such provisions shall survive termination of such Hedge Agreement.
Section 2.01    Tax Treatment of the Notes.
The Issuers have entered into this Indenture, and each Class of Notes will be issued, with the intention that, for purposes of any federal, state and local income or franchise tax and any other taxes imposed on or measured by income, such Notes will qualify as indebtedness (unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement) upon their issuance for federal income tax purposes.  The Issuers, by entering into this Indenture, each Noteholder, by its acceptance of its Note, and each Note Owner, by purchasing or otherwise acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Note, agree to treat the Notes and such Ownership Interests for purposes of any federal, state and local income or franchise tax and any other taxes imposed on or measured by income, as indebtedness (unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement) upon their issuance for federal income tax purposes.
Section 2.02    DSCR Reserve Account.
(a)    On or prior to the date hereof, the Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain at Citibank, N.A. one or more segregated trust accounts (collectively, the “DSCR Reserve Account”), in its name, as Indenture Trustee, bearing a designation clearly indicating that such account and all funds deposited therein are held for the exclusive benefit of the Noteholders and the Issuers as their interests may appear. At all times, the DSCR Reserve Account shall be an Eligible Account or a sub-account of an Eligible Account.
(b)    The Indenture Trustee shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the DSCR Reserve Account during any DSCR Sweep Period the amount allocated for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.11(b).

(c)    All amounts in the DSCR Reserve Account shall remain uninvested.
(d)    Upon the termination of a DSCR Sweep Period, the Indenture Trustee shall remit such amounts to the Payment Account for application as Available Amount (other than as Unscheduled Proceeds) by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11(b). During an Early Amortization Period, the Indenture Trustee shall apply all amounts on deposit in the DSCR Reserve Account as Unscheduled Principal Payments and allocate such amounts to all Series in accordance with Section 2.11(b) on the related Payment Date.  On the Rated Final Payment Date of any Class of Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall transfer all amounts on deposit in the DSCR Reserve Account on such date to the Payment Account to be applied in accordance with Section 2.11(b).  
Section 2.03    Representations and Warranties with Respect to the Issuers.
Except as otherwise provided in any applicable Series Supplement, each applicable Issuer hereby represents and warrants to the other parties hereto, as of the applicable Series Closing Date, as follows:
(a)    Such Issuer is a limited liability company duly created and validly existing in good standing under the laws of, and is duly qualified to do business in, the State of Delaware and has full power, authority and legal right to own its properties and conduct its business as presently owned or conducted, to execute and deliver the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which such Issuer is a party and to perform its obligations under the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.
(b)    The execution and delivery by such Issuer of the Indenture and the performance by such Issuer of its obligations under the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which such Issuer is a party has been duly and validly authorized and directed and does not violate the applicable Issuer LLC Agreement, nor does such execution, delivery or performance require the authorization, consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the filing or registration with, or the taking of any other action by, any arbitrator, court or other Governmental Authority or conflict with, or result in a breach or violation of, any provision of any law or regulation governing such Issuer or any order, writ, judgment or decree of any arbitrator, court or other Governmental Authority applicable to such Issuer or any of its assets, any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, partnership agreement or other agreement or instrument to which such Issuer is a party or by which such Issuer or any portion of the Collateral is a party or by which such Issuer or all or any portion of the Collateral is bound, which breach or violation would materially adversely affect either the ability of such Issuer to perform its obligations under the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or the financial condition of such Issuer or the value of any Property as security for the Notes.
(c)    Such Issuer has requisite power and authority to own the applicable Properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged. Such Issuer is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with the applicable Properties, its business and operations. Such Issuer possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own the applicable Properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, the failure of which to obtain would result in a material adverse effect on either the ability of such Issuer to perform its obligations under the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or the financial condition of such Issuer or the value of any such Property as security for the Notes. The sole business of such Issuer is as set forth in the applicable Issuer LLC Agreement.
(d)    The Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly executed and delivered by such Issuer and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by each of the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of such Issuer, enforceable against such Issuer in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (B) general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(e)    Such Issuer has no employee benefit plans and is not required to make any contributions to any Plans.

The Issuers’ assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted.  Such Issuer does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including, without limitation, contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of such Issuer).

(h)    No Issuer is, and neither the sale of the Notes in the manner contemplated by the Private Placement Memorandum nor the activities of any Issuer pursuant to this Agreement will cause such Issuer to be, (a) an “investment company” or under the control of an “investment company” as defined in the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder or (b) required to be registered under the 1940 Act.  Each Issuer is relying on an exclusion or exemption from the definition of “investment company” contained in Section 3(c)(5) of the 1940 Act, although there may be additional exclusions or exemptions available.  Each Issuer does not constitute a “covered fund” under the so-called Volcker Rule under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
(i)    The Transaction Documents and the applicable Private Placement Memorandum (as defined in the applicable Series Supplement) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading.
(j)    The applicable Series of Notes, the Indenture, the other Transaction Documents and the organizational documents of such Issuer are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of such Series of Notes, the Indenture, any of the other Transaction Documents or the organizational documents of such Issuer, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Indenture unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury.

(p)    Such Issuer has not made any loans or advances to any third party (including any Affiliate or constituent party or any Affiliate of any constituent party).
(q)    Such Issuer has done or caused to be done all things necessary to observe organizational formalities and preserve its existence.

(t)    All of the assumptions made in any applicable substantive non-consolidation opinion letter dated the date hereof, delivered by Alston & Bird LLP in connection with the Notes and any subsequent non-consolidation opinion delivered on behalf of such Issuer as required by the terms and conditions of the Indenture (the “Non-consolidation Opinion”), including, but not limited to, any exhibits attached thereto, are true and correct in all material respects. Each Person other than such Issuer, if any, with respect to which an assumption is made in the applicable Non-Consolidation Opinion has complied with all of the assumptions made with respect to it in such Non-Consolidation Opinion.
(u)    Upon the issuance of the applicable Series of Notes, the Indenture Trustee has a valid and enforceable first priority perfected lien or perfected security interest, as applicable, in the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances.  Upon the execution of any Account Control Agreement, the Indenture Trustee has a first priority perfected security interest in any accounts to which the Account Control Agreement relates.
(v)    As of the date hereof, each applicable Series Closing Date and at all times throughout the term of the Notes, (i) none of the funds or other assets of such Issuer constitute property of, or are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any Person, entity or government subject to trade restrictions under U.S. law, including but not limited to, the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (including the anti-terrorism provisions thereof) (the “Patriot Act”), the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. Sections 1701, et seq., The Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C.

Except as set forth in Schedule I-B of the applicable Series Supplement, each of the applicable Issuers shall make the following representations and warranties and the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit A of such Series Supplement, as of (i) the date specified in the applicable representation or warranty or (ii) if no date is specified, the later of (a) the most recent Series Closing Date and (b) with respect to any Qualified Substitute Property, as of the applicable Transfer Date with respect to (x) the Properties and Leases indicated in such Series Supplement or otherwise added to the Collateral Pool by such Issuer in connection with the issuance of any Series of Notes or (y) Qualified Substitute Properties acquired by an Issuer from a third party, as applicable:
(a)    There are no pending actions, suits or proceedings, arbitrations or governmental investigations against such Issuer or the related Properties, an adverse outcome of which would materially affect (i) such Issuer’s performance under or ability to pay principal, interest or any other amounts due under the Notes, the Indenture (including any applicable Series Supplement) or the other Transaction Documents, or the use of such Properties for the use currently being made thereof, the operation of such Properties as currently being operated or the value of such Properties or (ii) the collectability or enforceability of the Mortgages with respect to such Properties or the related Leases.
(b)    Such Issuer has good, marketable (or with respect to the related Properties located in Texas, indefeasible) and insurable title to each Property, and has the full power, authority and right to deed, encumber, mortgage, give, grant, bargain, sell, alienate, setoff, convey, confirm, pledge, assign and hypothecate the same; and such Issuer possesses an unencumbered fee estate, or ground lease interest, in each Property and, other than with respect to the Tenant Ground Leases, the improvements thereon, and it owns each Property free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and charges whatsoever except for Permitted Encumbrances and each Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on and security interest in the applicable Property, subject only to said permitted encumbrances.

(d)    Upon the execution by such Issuer and the recording of each Mortgage, and upon the execution and proper filing of UCC Financing Statements (if required by a jurisdiction to perfect the security interest set forth in the Mortgage), the Indenture Trustee will have a valid first lien on the related Properties and a valid security interest in such Issuer’s interest in the “Equipment” (as defined in the Mortgages), if any, subject to no liens, charges or encumbrances other than the Permitted Encumbrances.
(e)    Each Property is covered by an ALTA (or an equivalent form thereof as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction) title insurance policy (a “Title Policy”), in an amount at least equal to the initial Allocated Loan Amount of such Property, issued during the six (6) months after the date such Property was added to the Collateral Pool.  Each Property insured for the Allocated Loan Amount includes an aggregation endorsement.  The Title Policy insures, as of the date of such policy (or any date-down endorsement to such policy, if applicable), that the related Mortgage is a valid first lien on the fee or leasehold interest in such Property subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances (to the extent stated therein); such Title Policy is in full force and effect and names the Indenture Trustee as the mortgagee of record; such Title Policy is assignable to assignees of the insured in accordance with its terms.  As of the Series Closing Date or the related date of substitution or acquisition, as applicable, all premiums for the Title Policy have been paid and no material claims have been made thereunder.  The Title Policy has been issued by a company licensed to issue such policies in the state in which such Property is located.
(f)    The related Properties have adequate rights of access to public ways and are served by adequate water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities.

(g)    Except as disclosed in the Title Policies, to the knowledge of such Issuer, there are no material pending or proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the related Properties, nor, to the knowledge of such Issuer, are there any contemplated improvements to such Properties that may result in such special or other assessments.
(h)    There are no delinquent or unpaid taxes affecting any Property which are or may become a lien of priority equal to or higher than the lien of the related Mortgage.  For purposes of this representation and warranty, taxes shall not be considered delinquent or unpaid until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.
(i)    Each related Property as of the date such Property was added to the Collateral Pool is free and clear of any mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens or similar liens that would materially and adversely affect the value of such Property.
(j)    No material improvements on any Property are located in an area designated as Flood Zone A or Flood Zone V by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or otherwise located in a flood zone area as identified by the Federal Emergency Management  Agency as a 100 year flood zone or special hazard area, except as may be shown on the surveys delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection with the issuance of the Notes, for which such applicable Properties such Issuer has caused the Tenant under the related Lease to obtain flood insurance in accordance with the provisions of the Lease and the Property Management Agreement.
(k)    All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including, without limitation, certificates of completion and occupancy permits required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the related Properties (collectively, the “Licenses”) as currently being operated have been obtained and are in full force and effect except to the extent the failure of any such License to be in full force and effect would not have a material adverse effect on such Issuer or the use and operation of any Property.  The related Properties are free of material damage and are in good repair in all material respects, and there is no proceeding pending or to the knowledge of such Issuer, is threatened or contemplated, for the total or partial condemnation of, or affecting, such Properties, or for the relocation of roadways providing access to any Property.
(l)    There is no valid dispute, claim, offset, defense or counterclaim to such Issuer’s rights in the Lease.  The Lease, together with applicable state law, contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the lessors thereof adequate for the practical realization against the related Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

In addition, such survey of such Property has been performed by a duly licensed surveyor or registered professional engineer in the jurisdiction in which such Property is situated, with the signature and seal of a licensed engineer or surveyor affixed thereto and does not fail to reflect any material matter known to such Issuer affecting such Property or the title thereto. Each appraisal contains a statement, or is accompanied by a letter from the appraiser, to the effect that the appraisal was performed in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as in effect on the date such appraisal was obtained.
(p)    The origination, servicing and collection of Monthly Lease Payments on such Lease is in all respects legal, proper and prudent and in accordance with customary industry standards.  No portion of the related Properties has been purchased or leased by Issuer or any affiliate with proceeds of any illegal activity.
(q)    To the extent required under applicable law, such Issuer was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which such Property is located, except where such failure to qualify would not result in a material adverse effect on the enforceability of the related Lease.
(r)    Except as set forth on reports and surveys delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection with the issuance of the Notes, the related Properties and all improvements thereon are in compliance in all material respects with all recorded covenants and all legal requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes and subdivision laws, the failure of which to comply with the same would result in a material adverse effect on either the ability of such Issuer to perform its obligations under the Indenture (including the applicable Series Supplement) and the other Transaction Documents or the financial condition of such Issuer or the value of any related Property as security for the Notes.
(s)    No fraudulent acts were committed by such Issuer during the origination process with respect to each related Lease; and, there has not been committed by such Issuer or any other person in occupancy of or involved in the operation or use of the related Properties any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture as against such Properties or any part thereof or any moneys paid in performance of such Issuer’s obligations under any of the Transaction Documents.
(t)    Such Issuer is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect such Issuer or any Property, or such Issuer’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Such Issuer is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which such Issuer or any of the related Properties are bound, which default would materially adversely affect either the ability of such Issuer to perform its obligations under the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents or the financial condition of such Issuer or the value of any related Property as security for the Notes.

Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of such Issuer from that set forth in said financial statements.
(v)    Each Property is comprised of one (1) or more parcels, which constitute a separate tax lot or lots, and does not constitute a portion of any other tax lot not a part of such Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Property, or in certain cases, an application has been made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax lots, in which case an escrow amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Property is a part is required until the separate tax lots are created.
(w)    The operation of any of the terms of the related Lease, or the exercise of any rights thereunder, does not render such Lease unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, abatement, diminution, counterclaim or defense.
(x)    The related Issuer has obtained and has delivered to the Indenture Trustee certificates of all insurance policies reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set forth in the Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents. To such Issuer’s knowledge, no material pending claims have been made under any such policy, and no person, including such Issuer, has done, by act or omission, anything which would materially impair the coverage of any such policy.
(y)    Each Property is used exclusively for purposes related to each Tenant’s existing business on the date such Property is added to the Collateral Pool and other existing uses permitted under the related leases.

(aa)    In connection with each Property with respect to which a Lease Guarantor has executed a Lease Guaranty with respect to all payments due under the related Lease:
(i)    such Lease Guaranty is in full force and effect and, to the related Issuer’s knowledge, there are no defaults by the related Lease Guarantor thereunder;
(ii)    such Lease Guaranty, on its face: (1) contains no conditions to such payment, other than a notice and right to cure; (2) provides that it is the guaranty of both the performance and payment of the financial obligations of the Tenant under the Lease; and (3) does not provide that the rejection of the Lease in a bankruptcy or insolvency of the Tenant shall affect the related Lease Guarantor’s obligations under such Lease Guaranty; and 
(iii)    such Lease Guaranty is binding on the successors and assigns of the related Lease Guarantor and inures to the benefit of the lessor’s successors and assigns; such Lease Guaranty cannot be released or amended without the lessor’s consent or unless a predetermined performance threshold is achieved or a predetermined period of time has elapsed.
(bb)    Except as set forth on a schedule to the applicable Series Supplement:

The Leases are in full force and effect and there are no material defaults thereunder by the related Issuer or any Tenant.  No rent (including security deposits) has been paid more than one (1) month in advance of its due date.  All material work, if any, to be performed by such Issuer under each Lease has been performed as required and has been accepted by the applicable Tenant, and any payments, free rent, partial rent, rebate of rent or other payments, credits, allowances or abatements required to be given by such Issuer to any Tenant has already been received by such Tenant.  There has been no prior sale, transfer or assignment from such Issuer of any Property or Leases in the Collateral or hypothecation or pledge by such Issuer of any Lease or of the rents received therein, except for such hypothecation or pledges to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Notes and any Related Series Notes or that have been released.  Except as permitted under certain leases referenced on a schedule to the applicable Series Supplement, no Tenant listed on the Lease Schedule attached to the Series Supplement has assigned its Lease, and no such Tenant holds its leased premises under assignment or sublease.

Section 4.02    Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
If an Event of Default (other than with respect to clause (f), clause (g) or clause (j) of the definition thereof) should occur and be continuing, at the written direction of the Requisite Global Majority (which shall have the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Indenture Trustee to accelerate the Notes and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, cause the foreclosure and sale of the Collateral included in the Collateral Pool), the Indenture Trustee shall declare all of the Notes to be immediately due and payable.  If an Event of Default specified in Section 4.01(f), (g) or (j) occurs, the unpaid Outstanding Principal Balance of such Notes, together with all accrued interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall automatically become due and payable in full without any declaration or other act on the part of the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder.
At any time after such declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due in respect of the Notes has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article IV, the Requisite Global Majority may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:
(a)    the Issuers have paid to or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:
(i)    all payments of principal of and interest on the Notes and all other amounts that would, in each case, then be due hereunder or upon the Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and

(b)    all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by virtue of such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 4.12.
No such rescission and annulment shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Section 4.03    Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee.
(a)    If the Issuers fail to pay all amounts due upon an acceleration of the Notes under Section 4.02 forthwith upon demand and such declaration and its consequences shall not have been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and as trustee of an express trust, shall, if directed by the Requisite Global Majority (which will have the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Indenture Trustee to cause the foreclosure and sale of the Collateral in the Collateral Pool), institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and enforce the same against the Issuers or any other obligor upon such Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the Collateral, wherever situated, or may institute and prosecute such non-judicial proceedings in lieu of judicial proceedings as are then permitted by Applicable Law.
(b)    If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, in its discretion and in any order, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders by such appropriate proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or any Mortgage or by Applicable Law.

(i)    to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective attorneys, and for reimbursement of all reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith of the Indenture Trustee or any predecessor Indenture Trustee, as applicable) and of the Noteholders allowed in such proceedings;
(ii)    unless prohibited by Applicable Law, to vote on behalf of the Noteholders in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or Person performing similar functions in any such proceedings;

(d)    Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any related Noteholder or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.
(e)    In any proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the Noteholders, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such proceedings.
(f)    All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered, subject to the payment priorities of Section 2.11(b).
Section 4.04    Remedies.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 4.02 and such declaration and its consequences shall not have been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Requisite Global Majority, in addition to performing any tasks as provided in Section 4.03, do one or more of the following:
(a)    institute, or cause to be instituted, Proceedings for the collection of all amounts then payable on or under the Collateral or this Indenture with respect to the Notes, whether by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, of the sums due and unpaid, prosecute such Proceedings, enforce any judgment obtained and collect from the Collateral included in the Collateral Pool the moneys adjudged to be payable;
(b)    liquidate, or cause to be liquidated, all or any portion of the Collateral Pool at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by Applicable Law; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall give the Issuers written notice of any private sale called by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.04(b) at least ten (10) days prior to the date fixed for such private sale;
(c)    institute, or cause to be instituted, Foreclosure Proceedings with respect to all or part of the Collateral included in the Collateral Pool;
(d)    exercise, or cause to be exercised, any remedies of a secured party under the UCC;
(e)    maintain the lien of this Indenture and the Mortgages over the Collateral included in the Collateral Pool and, in its own name or in the name of the Issuers or otherwise, collect and otherwise receive in accordance with the Property Management Agreement or this Indenture any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for the Properties and Leases in the Collateral Pool;
(f)    take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee hereunder; and
(g)    exercise, or cause to be exercised, any remedies contained in any Mortgage;
provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not, unless required by law, sell or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of the Collateral Pool following any Event of Default except in accordance with Section 4.15; provided, further, that, with respect to instituting any remedies pursuant to this Section 4.04 in any state wherein the law prohibits more than one “judicial action” or “one form of action” to enforce a mortgage obligation, the Indenture Trustee shall enforce any of the Indenture Trustee’s rights hereunder with respect to any Properties in accordance with the directions of the Property Manager.
In the event that the Indenture Trustee, following an Event of Default hereunder, institutes Foreclosure Proceedings, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly give a notice to that effect to the Issuers and each Rating Agency.
Section 4.05    Application of Money Collected.
Any money collected by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be deposited in the Payment Account and, on each Payment Date, shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11 and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of the principal of or interest on the Notes, upon presentation and surrender of the Notes if fully paid.
Section 4.06    Limitation on Suits.
Except as provided in Section 4.07, no Noteholder shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
(1)    such Noteholder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
(2)    the Requisite Global Majority shall have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;
(3)    such Noteholder has offered to the Indenture Trustee adequate indemnity or security satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;
(4)    the Indenture Trustee for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity or security has failed to institute any such proceeding; and
(5)    an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Noteholders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing itself or themselves of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Noteholders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Noteholders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Noteholders.  Subject to the foregoing restrictions, the Noteholders may exercise their rights under this Section 4.06 independently.
Section 4.07    Unconditional Right of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note at Maturity shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payments of interest, principal and other amounts then due on such Note (subject to Section 2.11) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment (subject to Section 4.06), and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Noteholder, unless a non-payment has been cured pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 4.02.  The Issuers shall, however, be subject to only one consolidated lawsuit by the Noteholders, or by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, for any one cause of action arising under this Indenture or otherwise.
Section 4.08    Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued, waived, rescinded or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuers, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 4.09    Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 4.10    Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.  Every right and remedy given by this Indenture or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders, as the case may be.
Section 4.11    Control by Requisite Global Majority.
The Requisite Global Majority shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee under Section 4.04, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee (including, without limitation, the exercise of its rights under any Account Control Agreement and the waiver of a Servicer Replacement Event under the Property Management Agreement); provided, that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or involve the Indenture Trustee in personal liability; provided, further, that the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Requisite Global Majority will not be required to provide, and the Indenture Trustee will not be required to obtain, a Tax Opinion in the case of a direction by the Requisite Global Majority to the Indenture Trustee, following an Event of Default, to realize upon the Collateral included in the Collateral Pool by liquidating such Collateral or otherwise.
Section 4.12    Waiver of Past Defaults.
Prior to the acceleration of the Maturity of the Notes, the Requisite Global Majority may waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default:
(1)    in the distribution of principal or interest on any Note, for which a waiver shall require the consent of Noteholders holding 100% of the Series Principal Balance of all Notes affected thereby;
(2)    in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article VIII cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected thereby, for which a waiver shall require the consent by each such Holder;
(3)    depriving the Indenture Trustee of a lien on any part the Collateral, for which a waiver shall require the consent of the Indenture Trustee; or
(4)    depriving the Indenture Trustee of any fees, reimbursement, or indemnification, to which the Indenture Trustee is entitled, for which a waiver shall require the written consent of the Indenture Trustee.
Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom (and any Early Amortization Period under clause (B) of the definition thereof resulting 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 impair any right consequent thereon.  Any costs or expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with such waiver shall be reimbursable to the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, as an Extraordinary Expense from amounts on deposit in the Payment Account.
Section 4.13    Undertaking for Costs.
All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Noteholder and Note Owner by its acceptance of such Note or an Ownership Interest therein shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses based on time expended, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by any Issuer, or to any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate at least 25% of the Aggregate Series Principal Balance, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note on or after the Maturity of such Note.
Section 4.14    Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.
Each Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim to take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; each Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the exercise of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the exercise of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 4.15    Sale of Collateral.
(a)    The power to effect any public or private sale of any portion of the Collateral Pool pursuant to Section 4.03 or Section 4.04 shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales as to any portion of the Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until either the entirety of the Collateral Pool shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes and under this Indenture with respect thereto shall have been paid.  The Indenture Trustee may from time to time postpone any sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such sale.  The Indenture Trustee hereby expressly waives its right to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any such sale but such waiver does not apply to any amounts to which the Indenture Trustee is otherwise entitled under Section 5.04.
(b)    Subject to Section 4.15(c), the Indenture Trustee shall not sell the Collateral included in the Collateral Pool pursuant to Section 4.03 or Section 4.04, unless:
(i)    the Requisite Global Majority consents to or directs the Indenture Trustee to make the related sales; or
(ii)    the proceeds of such liquidation would be greater than or equal to the Aggregate Series Principal Balance plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including Interest Carry-Forward Amounts).
The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.15 shall not preclude or limit the ability of the Indenture Trustee or its designee to purchase all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale, public or private, and the purchase by the Indenture Trustee or its designee of all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale shall not be deemed a sale or disposition thereof for purposes of this Section 4.15(b).
(c)    In the event that any Series of Notes is not fully paid on the applicable Rated Final Payment Date, the applicable Controlling Party shall have the right to require the sale of the Collateral, pursuant to Section 4.15(b) and (d).
(d)    In connection with a sale of all or any portion of the Collateral Pool:
(i)    any Holder or Holders of Notes may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale, and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property, without further accountability, and may, in paying the purchase money therefor, deliver any Outstanding Notes or claims for interest thereon in lieu of cash up to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon, and such Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the Holders thereof after being appropriately stamped to show such partial payment;
(ii)    the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver, without recourse, an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Collateral Pool in connection with a sale thereof;
(iii)    the Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuers to transfer and convey any such Issuer’s interest in any portion of the Collateral Pool in connection with a sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such sale;
(iv)    no purchaser or transferee at such a sale shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys; and
(v)    no purchaser or transferee at such a sale shall have been a prior owner of such Collateral if such prior owner was AFOP or an Affiliate thereof.
Section 4.16    Action on Notes.
The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture.  Neither the lien of the Mortgages and this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee, or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against any Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Collateral Pool.
ARTICLE V     
 
THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE
Section 5.01    Certain Duties and Responsibilities.
The Issuers hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint the Indenture Trustee, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in place and stead of the Issuers and in the name of the Issuers or in its own name or in the name of a nominee, from time to time in the Indenture Trustee’s discretion, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Indenture, all as set forth in this Section.
(a)    The rights, duties and liabilities of the Indenture Trustee in respect of this Indenture shall be as follows:
(i)    The Indenture Trustee shall have the full power and authority to do all things not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture that it may deem advisable in order to enforce the provisions hereof or to take any action with respect to a default or an Event of Default hereunder, or to institute, appear in or defend any suit or other proceeding with respect hereto, or to protect the interests of the Noteholders.  The Issuers shall prepare and file or cause to be filed, at the applicable Issuers’ expense, a UCC Financing Statement and any continuation statements, describing such Issuers as debtor, the Indenture Trustee as secured party and the Collateral included in the Collateral Pool as the collateral, in all appropriate locations in the State of Delaware promptly following the initial issuance of each Series of Notes, and within six months prior to each fifth anniversary of the original filing.  The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and obligated to make, at the expense of the applicable Issuers, all required filings and refilings with respect to which the Indenture Trustee receives written direction from an Issuer, necessary to preserve the liens created by the Mortgages and this Indenture as provided therein and herein.  The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take any action to exercise or enforce the trusts hereby created which, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, shall be likely to involve expense or liability to the Indenture Trustee, unless the Indenture Trustee shall have received an agreement satisfactory to it in its reasonable discretion to indemnify it against such liability and expense.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements contained herein, or in any other instruments to be performed or observed by the Issuers.
(ii)    Subject to the other provisions of this Article V, the Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provisions of this Indenture, shall examine them to determine whether they are on their face in the form required by this Indenture to the extent expressly set forth herein.  If any such instrument is found on its face not to conform to the requirements of this Indenture in a material manner, the Indenture Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected.  The Indenture Trustee shall not incur any liability in acting upon any signature, notice, request, consent, certificate, opinion, or other instrument reasonably believed by it to be genuine.  In administering the trusts hereunder, the Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder directly or through its agents or attorneys; provided, that it shall remain liable for the acts of all such agents and attorneys.  The Indenture Trustee may, at its own expense (except as otherwise provided in Section 5.04), consult with counsel, accountants and other professionals to be selected and employed by it, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of any such Person nor for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(iii)    The Indenture Trustee shall not, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.01(a)(i), have any duty to make, arrange or ensure the completion of any recording, filing or registration of any instrument or other document (including any UCC Financing Statements), or any amendments or supplements to any of said instruments or to determine if any such instrument or other document is in a form suitable for recording, filing or registration, and the Indenture Trustee shall not have any duty to make, arrange or ensure the completion of the payment of any fees, charges or taxes in connection therewith.
(iv)    Whenever in performing its duties hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Indenture Trustee may, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Indenture Trustee, rely upon (unless other evidence in respect thereof be specifically prescribed herein) an Officer’s Certificate of any applicable Issuer Manager and such Officer’s Certificate shall be full warrant to the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it on the faith thereof.
(v)    Except in its capacity as successor to the Property Manager, the Indenture Trustee shall not have any obligations to see to the payment or discharge of any liens (other than the liens of this Indenture and the Mortgages) upon the Collateral included in the Collateral Pool, or to see to the application of any payment of the principal of or interest on any Note secured thereby or to the delivery or transfer to any Person of any property released from any such lien, or to give notice to or make demand upon any mortgagor, mortgagee, trustor, beneficiary or other Person for the delivery or transfer of any such property.  The Indenture Trustee (and any successor trustee or co-trustee in its individual capacity) nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any liens or encumbrances on the Collateral included in the Collateral Pool, arising as a result of the Indenture Trustee (or such successor trustee or co-trustee, as the case may be) acting negligently, in bad faith or with willful misconduct in its capacity as Indenture Trustee (or such successor trustee or co-trustee, as the case may be).
(vi)    The Indenture Trustee shall not be concerned with or accountable to any Person for the use or application of any deposited moneys or of any property or securities or the proceeds thereof that shall be released or withdrawn in accordance with the provisions hereof or of any property or securities or the proceeds thereof that shall be released from the lien hereof or thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof or thereof and the Indenture Trustee shall not have any liability for the acts of other parties that are not in accordance with the provisions hereof.
(b)    The rights, duties and liabilities of the Indenture Trustee in respect of the Collateral Pool and this Indenture, in addition to those set forth in Section 5.01(a), shall be as follows:
(i)    except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Notes, the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee; and
(ii)    the Indenture Trustee may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, as applicable; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture, to the extent expressly set forth herein.
(c)    Subject to Section 4.12, in case an Event of Default known to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and the Mortgages, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.
(d)    No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(i)    this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsections (a), (b) or (c) of this Section;
(ii)    the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii)    the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the directions of any applicable party pursuant to a Transaction Document, the Requisite Global Majority, any Controlling Party or Noteholders of more than 50% (unless a lower or higher percentage of Noteholders is expressly permitted or required to authorize such action hereunder, in which case such lower or higher percentage) of the Aggregate Series Principal Balance, as the case may be, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising or omitting exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Notes; and
(iv)    the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of a default in the observance of any covenant contained in Section 9.06 or Article X unless either (i) a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge of such default or (ii) written notice of such default shall have been given by the Issuers or by any Noteholder to and received by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee.  In the absence of receipt of such notice or actual knowledge the Indenture Trustee may conclusively assume that is no default or Event of Default.
The Indenture Trustee shall perform the duties and obligations specified to be performed by the Indenture Trustee in the Property Management Agreement and in the other Transaction Documents.


Section 5.02    Notice of Defaults.
The Indenture Trustee, promptly but not later than two (2) Business Days after a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee acquires actual knowledge of the occurrence of any default under this Indenture, shall notify the Issuers the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies of any such default (a “Notice of Default”), unless all such defaults known to the Indenture Trustee shall have been cured before the giving of such notice or unless the same is rescinded and annulled, or waived by the Requisite Global Majority pursuant to Section 4.02 or Section 4.12.  For the purpose of this Section 5.02, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice, or direction of the Requisite Global Majority or lapse of time would become, an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.
Section 5.03    Certain Rights of Indenture Trustee.
Subject to the provisions of Section 5.01, in connection with this Indenture:
(a)    the Indenture Trustee may request and rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties as may be required by such party or parties pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, as applicable;
(b)    any request or direction of an Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Issuer Request or Issuer Order and any resolution of the board of managers of the Issuer Manager may be sufficiently evidenced by a Resolution;
(c)    whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Indenture Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Indenture Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate;
(d)    the Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel rendered thereby shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;
(e)    [reserved];
(f)    the Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Indenture Trustee in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Indenture Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuers, personally or by agent or attorney;
(g)    the Indenture Trustee may, at its own expense (except as otherwise provided in Section 5.04), execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys of the Indenture Trustee; provided, that it shall remain liable for the acts of all such attorneys and agents;
(h)    the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to provide any surety or bond of any kind in connection with the execution or performance of its duties hereunder;
(i)    except with respect to the representations made by it in Section 5.06, the Indenture Trustee shall not make any representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture;
(j)    the Indenture Trustee shall not at any time have any responsibility or liability with respect to the legality, validity or enforceability of the Collateral included in the Collateral Pool other than its failure to act in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or the Property Management Agreement;
(k)    The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the powers vested in it by this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, as applicable, 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, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby (which in the case of the Requisite Global Majority will be deemed to be satisfied by a letter agreement with respect to such costs from such Noteholders); nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Indenture Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge, and such Event of Default having not been cured, to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs; 
(l)    The Indenture Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or the rights and powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; 
(m)    The right of the Indenture Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its own negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act;
(n)    The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability for the performance of any of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or powers if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it;
(o)    The right of the Indenture Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty, and Indenture Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act;
(p)    To help the U.S. government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.  When an account is opened, the Indenture Trustee shall ask for information that will allow the Indenture Trustee to identify relevant parties.  The other parties hereto hereby acknowledge such information disclosure requirements and agree to comply with all such information disclosure requests from time to time from the Indenture Trustee;
(q)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any and all email communications (both text and attachments) by or from the Indenture Trustee that the Indenture Trustee deems to contain confidential, proprietary, and/or sensitive information may be encrypted.

Section 5.10    Unclaimed Funds.
The Indenture Trustee is required to hold any payments received by it with respect to the Notes that are not paid to the Noteholders in trust for the Noteholders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the expiration of three years following the Final Payment Date for any Class of Notes of any Series any moneys set aside in accordance with Section 2.11(b) for payment of principal, interest and other amounts on such Notes remaining unclaimed by any lawful owner thereof, and, to the extent required by Applicable Law, any accrued interest thereon shall be remitted to the applicable Issuers, as their interest may appear, to be held in trust by such Issuers for the benefit of the applicable Noteholder until distributed in accordance with Applicable Law, and all liability of the Indenture Trustee with respect to such money shall thereupon cease; provided, that the Indenture Trustee, before being required to make any such remittance, may, at the expense of the applicable Noteholder, payable out of such unclaimed funds, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, and otherwise at the expense of the applicable Issuers payable out of the Collateral Pool, cause to be published at least once but not more than three times in two newspapers in the English language customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in New York, New York, a notice to the effect that such moneys remain unclaimed and have not been applied for the purpose for which they were deposited, and that after a date specified therein, which shall be not less than 30 days after the date of first publication of said notice, any unclaimed balance of such moneys then remaining in the hands of the Indenture Trustee will be paid to the applicable Issuers upon their written directions to be held in trust for the benefit of the applicable Noteholder until distributed in accordance with Applicable Law.

Section 5.13    Separate Indenture Trustees and Co-Trustees.
(a)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting legal requirements applicable to it in the performance of its duties hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power to, and shall execute and deliver all instruments to, appoint one or more Persons to act as separate trustees or co-trustees hereunder, jointly with the Indenture Trustee, of any portion of the Collateral Pool subject to this Indenture, and any such Persons shall be such separate trustee or co-trustee, with such powers and duties consistent with this Indenture as shall be specified in the instrument appointing such Person but without thereby releasing the Indenture Trustee from any of its duties hereunder.  If the Indenture Trustee shall request the Issuers to do so, the Issuers shall join with the Indenture Trustee in the execution of such instrument, but the Indenture Trustee shall have the power to make such appointment without making such request.  A separate trustee or co-trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 5.13 need not meet the eligibility requirements of Section 5.05.
(b)    Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent not prohibited by law, be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i)    the rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon such separate or co-trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate or co-trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the appointing instrument, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed any nonresident trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Indenture Trustee;
(ii)    all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, in respect of the custody of all cash deposited hereunder shall be exercised solely by the Indenture Trustee; and
(iii)    the Indenture Trustee may at any time by written instrument accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee or co-trustee, and, upon the request of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuers shall join with the Indenture Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to make effective such resignation or removal, but the Indenture Trustee shall have the power to accept such resignation or to make such removal without making such request.  A successor to a separate trustee or co-trustee so resigning or removed may be appointed in the manner otherwise provided herein.
(c)    Such separate trustee or co-trustee, upon acceptance of such trust, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in such instruments, jointly with the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such action as may be necessary to provide for (i) the appropriate interest in the Collateral Pool to be vested in such separate trustee or co-trustee, and (ii) the execution and delivery of any transfer documentation or bond powers that may be necessary to give effect to the transfer of the lien of this Indenture and the Mortgages to the co-trustee.  Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, by written instrument constitute the Indenture Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent permitted by law, do all acts and things and exercise all discretion authorized or permitted by it, for and on behalf of it and in its name.  If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall be dissolved, become incapable of acting, resign, be removed or die, all the estates, property, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of said separate trustee or co-trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, without the appointment of a successor to said separate trustee or co-trustee, until the appointment of a successor to said separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary as provided in this Indenture.
(d)    Any notice, request or other writing, by or on behalf of any Noteholder, delivered to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to all separate trustees and co-trustees.
(e)    Although co-trustees may be jointly liable, no co-trustee or separate trustee shall be severally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any other such trustee hereunder.
(f)    No appointment of a separate trustee or co-trustee pursuant to this Section 5.13 shall relieve the Indenture Trustee of any of its obligations, duties or responsibilities hereunder in any way or to any degree.
Section 5.14    Communications with the Rating Agency. 
The Indenture Trustee will transmit a copy of each statement, notice or other document required to be provided to any applicable Rating Agency pursuant to this Indenture via email to the applicable Rating Agency’s website(s) set forth in the applicable Series Supplements contemporaneously with its posting or delivery of such statement, notice or other document to each such Rating Agency, as the case may be.  Except as expressly provided in this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not have any oral or written communications regarding the terms and provisions of the Transaction Documents or of the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder with any applicable Rating Agency without the prior written consent of the Support Provider.

The Notes, when issued, will be, and this Indenture and such other documents are, valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuers enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject only to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or law).

The Issuers have not authorized the filing of and are not aware of any financing statements against any such Issuer that include a description of collateral covering the Collateral other than any financing statements filed in favor of the Indenture Trustee.  The Issuers are not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against any such Issuer.

Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of an Issuer or Issuer Manager may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous.  Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of an Issuer  or Issuer Manager stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of such Issuer or Issuer Manager, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.
Whenever this Indenture requires that a document or instrument (other than any Note) be delivered in substantially the form attached hereto as an exhibit, modifications and additions to and deletions from any such exhibit reflected in such document or instrument as delivered hereunder shall not impair the validity or acceptability of such document or instrument (nor shall any Person be entitled to reject such document or instrument as a result thereof) to the extent that such modifications, additions or deletions are approved by the Issuers and are made in a manner consistent with Applicable Law (including changes thereto).
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.
Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that any Person shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of such Person’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of such Person to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report.  The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article V.
Section 12.04    No Oral Change.
This Indenture, and any provisions hereof, may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of any Issuer, Issuer Manager or the Indenture Trustee, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought and otherwise in accordance herewith.
Section 12.05    Acts of Noteholders.
(a)    Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by the Noteholders of any Class of any Series or in their entirety may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents 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 Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the applicable Issuers.  Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” or “Acts” 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 of this Indenture and (subject to Section 5.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuers if made in the manner provided in this Section.  With respect to authorization to be given or taken by Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee shall be authorized to follow the written directions or the vote of Noteholders of Notes representing more than 50% of the Aggregate Series Principal Balance (or Outstanding Notes of the affected Class, if applicable), unless any greater or lesser percentage is required by the terms hereunder.
(b)    The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.
(c)    The Series, Class, Outstanding Principal Balance and serial numbers of Notes held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Note Register.
(d)    Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, declaration, waiver or other act of any Noteholder shall bind every future Noteholder of the same Note and the Noteholder of every Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, suffered or omitted to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Issuers in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.
Section 12.06    Computation of Percentage of Noteholders.
Unless otherwise specified herein, whenever this Indenture states that any action may be taken by a specified percentage of the Noteholders or the Noteholders of any Class, such statement shall mean that such action may be taken by the Noteholders of such specified percentage of the Aggregate Series Principal Balance or of such Class of Notes, respectively.
Section 12.07    Notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuers and Certain Other Persons.
Any communication provided for or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by courier or mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, or if transmitted by facsimile or by e-mail and confirmed in a writing delivered or mailed as aforesaid, to: (i) in the case of any Issuer, to c/o American Finance Operating Partnership, L.P., 405 Park Avenue, 3rd Floor, NY, NY 10022, Attention: Legal Department or to such other address as provided in the applicable Series Supplement, as applicable; (ii) in the case of the Indenture Trustee, Citibank, N.A., 388 Greenwich Street, New York, NY 10013, Attention:  Securities Window – AFOP, or at such other address as the Indenture Trustee or Note Registrar may designate from time to time; and (iii) with respect to any applicable Series, in the case of any Rating Agency or Hedge Counterparty, the address of such Rating Agency or Hedge Counterparty as provided in the applicable Series Supplement, or, as to each such Person, such other address or facsimile number as may hereafter be furnished by such Person to the parties hereto in writing.
Citibank, N.A. (the “Bank”) (in each of its capacities hereunder and under the Transaction Documents) agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture or any documents executed in connection herewith sent by unsecured email, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that any person providing such instructions or directions shall provide to the Bank an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to provide such instructions or directions (including the email addresses of such persons), which incumbency certificate shall be amended whenever a person is added or deleted from the listing. If such person elects to give the Bank email (of .pdf or similar files) or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Bank in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Bank’s reasonable understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling.  The Bank shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Bank’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflicting with or being inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction.  Any person providing such instructions or directions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Bank, including without limitation the risk of the Bank acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.
Section 12.08    Notices to Noteholders; Notification Requirements and Waiver.
Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given if in writing and delivered by courier or mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at its address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice.  In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is delivered or mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.  Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.
In case, by reason of the suspension of regular courier and mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.
Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give any such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute a default or Event of Default.
Section 12.09    Successors and Assigns.
All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuers shall bind their successors and permitted assigns, whether so expressed or not.
Section 12.10    Interest Charges; Waivers.
This Indenture is subject to the express condition that at no time shall any Issuer be obligated or required to pay interest hereunder at a rate which could subject the Indenture Trustee to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which such Issuer is permitted by Applicable Law to contract or agree to pay.  If by the terms of this Indenture, any Issuer is at any time required or obligated to pay interest hereunder at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, such rate shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and all previous payments in excess of the maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder.
The Issuers expressly waives presentment, demand, diligence, protest and all notices of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Indenture, except for notices expressly provided for in this Indenture, the Mortgages or the Notes.
Section 12.11    Severability Clause.
In case any provision of this Indenture or of the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall, to the extent permitted by law, not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 12.12    Governing Law.
(a)    THIS INDENTURE AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES).
(b)    Any action or proceeding against any of the parties hereto relating in any way to this Indenture or any Note or the Collateral included in the Collateral Pool may be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York sitting in the borough of Manhattan or of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and each of the Issuers irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of each such court in respect of any such action or proceeding.  The Issuers hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to remove any such action or proceeding by reason of improper venue or inconvenient forum.  As long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding, service of process upon any Issuer shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be deemed in every respect effective service in any such legal action or proceeding.
Section 12.13    Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.
The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
Section 12.14    Benefits of Indenture.
Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Noteholders, the Property Manager, the Special Servicer, the Back-Up Manager and any other party secured hereunder or named as a beneficiary of any provision hereof, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.
Section 12.15    Trust Obligation.
No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuers on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) any Issuer, any Issuer Manager, the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Property Manager, the Back-Up Manager or the Special Servicer, each in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in an Issuer or Issuer Manager or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee, agent or Control Person of an Issuer, an Issuer Manager, the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Property Manager, the Back-Up Manager or the Special Servicer in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in an Issuer or of any successor or assignee of an Issuer, an Issuer Manager, the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Property Manager, the Back-Up Manager or the Special Servicer, each in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that none of any Issuer Manager, the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Property Manager, the Back-Up Manager or the Special Servicer has any such obligations in its individual capacity).
Section 12.16    Inspection.
Each Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee, during such Issuer’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports, and other papers of such Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom and to discuss such Issuer’s affairs, finances and accounts relating to such Issuer with the officers of AFOP on behalf of such Issuer and such Issuer’s employees and independent public accounting firm, all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested.  The Indenture Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives to hold in confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) or the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder.
Section 12.17    Method of Payment.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11(b), all amounts payable or to be remitted pursuant to this Indenture shall be paid or remitted or caused to be paid or remitted in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account specified in writing by the recipient thereof.
Section 12.18    Limitation on Liability of the Issuers and Issuer Manager.
None of the Issuers, Issuer Manager, or any of the directors, managers, members, partners, officers, employees, agents or Control Persons of any Issuer or Issuer Manager, shall be under any liability to the Noteholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment.  The Issuers, the Issuer Manager and any person who is a manager, officer, employee, agent or Control Person of the Issuers will be entitled to indemnification, payable in accordance with (and subject to) Section 2.11, against any losses, liabilities or expenses incurred in connection with any legal action that relates to the Indenture, the Notes or any agreement related thereto.  The Issuers, Issuer Manager and any director, manager, officer, employee or agent of any Issuer or Issuer Manager, may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.  No Issuer or Issuer Manager shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its duties under this Indenture and which in its opinion does not involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that any such Issuer or Issuer Manager may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Indenture and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Noteholders hereunder.
Section 12.19    Non-Petition.
Each of the Noteholders, by its acceptance of a Note, and the Indenture Trustee hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is two years and thirty-one days after the payment in full of the latest maturing Note, it will not institute against, or join with, encourage or cooperate with any other Person in instituting, against an Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings, under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 12.19 shall constitute a waiver of any right to indemnification, reimbursement or other payment from any Issuer pursuant to this Indenture.  In the event that any such Noteholder or the Indenture Trustee takes action in violation of this Section 12.19, the applicable Issuer, shall file or cause to be filed an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contesting the filing of such a petition by any such Noteholder or the Indenture Trustee against such Issuer or the commencement of such action and raising the defense that such Noteholder or the Indenture Trustee has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert.  The provisions of this Section 12.19 shall survive the termination of this Indenture, and the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee.  Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by any Noteholder or the Indenture Trustee in the assertion or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving an Issuer.
Section 12.20    Non-Recourse.
The obligations of each Issuer under this Indenture are solely the obligations of such Issuer.  No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of any fee hereunder or any other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Indenture against any member, employee, officer or director of such Issuer.  Fees, expenses, costs or other obligations payable by an Issuer hereunder shall be payable by such Issuer only to the extent that funds are then available or thereafter become available for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.11.  In the event that sufficient funds are not available for their payment pursuant to Section 2.11, the excess unpaid amount of such fees, expenses, costs or other obligations shall in no event constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against, or corporate obligation of, such Issuer. Nothing in this Section 12.20 shall be construed to limit the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, from exercising its rights hereunder and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Series Supplement with respect to the Collateral Pool.
