 THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of the 18th day of March, 2003 by and among Liberty National Bancshares, Inc., a Georgia corporation
(the “Company”), Liberty National Bank, a national bank organized under the laws of the United States (the “Bank”) (the Company and the Bank are collectively referred to herein as the “Employer”), and William L. Daniel
(the “Executive”).
 W I T
N E S S E
T H:
 WHEREAS, the Company is seeking to retain Executive as its
President and Chief Executive Officer; and
 WHEREAS, Executive is willing to continue in the position of President and Chief Executive Officer in accordance
with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;
 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual premises and covenants herein contained, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
 1.
Employment.   Employer employs Executive and Executive accepts employment upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
 2.
Term.  The
term of employment of Executive under this Agreement shall be the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on February 21, 2004. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the term of this Agreement expires and Executive and
the Employer have not entered into a successor, amended, or replacement employment agreement, Executive shall be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to one hundred percent (100%) of Executive’s base salary paid hereunder in the event
Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason other than that set forth in Section 11(a) hereunder.
 3.
Compensation.  (A)  Salary.  For
all services rendered by Executive, Executive shall be paid a minimum base salary of $123,100 payable in equal semi-monthly installments during the term of this Agreement. Salary payments shall be subject to withholding and other applicable taxes.
Such base salary shall be increased in the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Bank. The Board of Directors in exercising its discretion shall annually consider Executive’s performance in light of the specific goals and objectives for
the Bank, which Executive and the Board of Directors shall mutually agree upon by the end of December of each calendar for the succeeding calendar year.
 (b)  Bonus.  In January of each year, and in addition to Executive’s base salary, Executive shall be eligible to receive such performance bonuses as determined in the
discretion of the Board of Directors of the Bank, which bonuses may be in amounts
 

  outlined in Exhibit “A” hereto. The payment of any bonus pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall be contingent upon the following:
 (i)
Prior to the granting of any bonus to Executive, the Board of Directors of the Bank
shall consider, and document its findings in the minutes of the meeting wherein the issue was considered, Executive’s performance in light of the status of the Bank’s internal controls, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest
rate exposure, asset growth, asset quality, earnings and such other performance goals and objectives mutually agreed upon between Executive and such Board of Directors at the end of each calendar year pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof.
 (ii)
The overall condition of the Bank must be “satisfactory” in the opinion
of the OCC as set forth in the most current OCC Report of Supervisory Activity provided to the Board of Directors of the Bank and the Uniform Financial Institution Rating of the Bank shall not be less than a “3”; and
 (iii)
The Bank shall be “adequately capitalized” as defined under the
regulations promulgated by the OCC pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991.
 4.
Title and Duties.   Executive shall serve as President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Bank and the Company for the term of this Agreement. Executive shall run the day-to-day activities of the Bank and oversee the Bank, within the framework of the approved annual budget, and with a sound system of internal
controls and in compliance with the policies of the Board of Directors of the Bank, and all applicable laws and regulations. 
 5.
Extent of Services.  Executive shall devote his entire time, attention and energies to the business
of Employer and shall not during the term of this Agreement be engaged in any other business activity which requires the attention or participation of Executive during normal business hours of Employer, recognition being given to the fact that
Executive is expected on occasion to participate in client development after normal business hours. However, Executive may invest his assets in such form or manner as will not require his services in the operation of the affairs of the companies in
which such investments are made. Executive shall notify Employer of any significant participation by him in any trade association or similar organization.
 6.
Working Facilities.  Executive shall have such assistant, perquisites,
facilities and services as are suitable to his position and appropriate for the performance of his duties, including membership in one country or golf club and appropriate civic clubs (including dues, assessments and initiation fees).
 7.
Expenses.  Executive may incur reasonable expenses for promoting the business of the Bank, including expenses for entertainment, travel, and similar items.
 
2

  Executive will be reimbursed for all such expenses upon Executive’s periodic presentation of an itemized account of such expenditures.
 8.
Vacations.  Executive shall be entitled each year to a vacation in accordance with the personnel policy established by the Bank’s Board of Directors, which vacation shall be not less than fifteen (15) days, during which time
Executive’s compensation shall be paid in full.
 9.
Additional Compensation.  As additional consideration paid to Executive, Executive shall be provided
with health, hospitalization, disability and term life insurance, and participation in the Bank’s incentive compensation plan. In addition, Executive shall have use of a bank owned automobile. All stock options shall be exercisable for a period
of ten (10) years from the date of grant.
 10.
Change in Control of the Company.  (a)  In the event of a “change in control” of the Company as defined herein, Executive shall be entitled, for a period of thirty (30) days from the
date of closing of the transaction effecting such change in control and at his election, to give written notice to Employer of termination of this Agreement and to receive a cash payment equal to three hundred percent (300%) times the compensation,
including bonus, if any, received by Executive in the one-year period immediately preceding the change in control of the Company, whichever is later. (b) For purposes of this Section 10, “change in control” of the Company shall
mean:
 (i)
any transaction, whether by merger, consolidation, asset sale,
tender offer, reverse stock split, or otherwise, which results in the acquisition or beneficial ownership (such as term is defined under rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) by any person or entity
or any group of persons or entities acting in concert, of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company;
 (ii)
the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or 
 (iii)
the liquidation of the Company.
 11.
Termination.  (a)  For Cause.  This Agreement may be terminated by the Board of Directors of the Bank without notice and without further obligation than for monies
already paid, for any of the following reasons:
 (i)
receipt by the Bank of
written notice from the OCC that the OCC has criticized Executive’s performance or his area of responsibility, and has either (a) rated the Bank a “4” or a “5” under the Uniform Financial Rating System or (b) has determined
that the Bank is in a “troubled condition” as defined under Section 914 of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989;
 
3

  (ii)
failure of Executive to follow reasonable
written instructions or policies of the Board of Directors of the Bank;
 (iii)
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Executive materially damaging to the business of the Bank during the term of this Agreement, or at any time while he was employed by the Bank prior to the term of this Agreement, if not disclosed to
the Bank prior to the commencement of the term of this Agreement; or 
 (iv)
conviction of Executive during the term of this Agreement of a crime involving breach of trust or moral turpitude.
 In the event that the Bank
discharges Executive alleging “cause” under this Section 11(a) and it is subsequently determined judicially that the termination was “without cause,” then such discharge shall be deemed a discharge without cause subject to the
provisions of Section 11(b) hereof. In the event that the Bank discharges Executive alleging “cause” under this Section 11(a), such notice of discharge shall be accompanied by a written and specific description of the circumstances
alleging such “cause.” The termination of Executive for “cause” shall not entitle the Bank to enforcement of the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants contained in Section 13 hereof.
 (b)
Without Cause.
 (i)
The Bank may, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Executive, terminate
this Agreement without cause any time during the term of this Agreement upon the condition that Executive shall be entitled, as liquidated damages in lieu of all other claims, to the payment of his base salary for a period of twelve (12) months and
reimbursement for up to $12,000 in fees incurred in connection with outplacement counseling or services. The severance payments provided for in this Section 11(b) shall commence not later than thirty (30) days after the actual date of termination of
employment of Executive. The termination of Executive “without cause” shall not entitle the Bank to enforcement of the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants contained in Section 13 hereof.
 (ii)
Executive may upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Employer terminate this
Agreement without cause at any time during the term of this Agreement. In the event of termination of this Agreement by Executive, the Bank shall have no further obligation to Executive than for monies paid and the Bank shall be entitled to
enforcement of the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants contained in Section 13 hereof.
 
4

  (iii)
In the event this Agreement is terminated
without cause, whether by Executive or by the Bank, any stock options or unexercised portion thereof, granted pursuant to this Agreement, whether or not vested on the date of termination, may be exercised by Executive within thirty (30) days from
the date of the termination at which time all such options shall expire.
 12.
Death or Disability.   In the event of Executive’s death, Employer shall pay to
Executive’s designated beneficiary, or if Executive has failed to designate a beneficiary, to his estate, an amount equal to Executive’s base salary pursuant to Section 3 hereof through the end of the month in which Executive’s death
occurred. Such compensation shall be in lieu of any other benefits provided hereunder, except that (i) in the event of change in control of the Company as defined herein, Executive’s designated beneficiary or his estate, as the case may be,
shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10(b) hereof, and (ii) any benefit payable pursuant to Section 3 shall be prorated and made available to Executive in respect of any period prior to his death. The Bank may maintain insurance on its
behalf to satisfy in whole or in part the obligations of this Section 12.
 In the event of Executive’s disability, as hereinafter defined, Employer shall
pay to Executive the base salary then in effect through the end of the month in which Executive became disabled. Executive shall be deemed disabled if, by reason of physical or mental impairment, he is incapable of performing his duties hereunder
for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days. Any dispute regarding the existence, the extent, or the continuance of Executive’s disability shall be resolved by the determination of a duly licensed and practicing physician selected by and
mutually agreeable to both the Board of Directors of the Bank and Executive; provided, however, if Executive officially establishes his eligibility to receive social security disability benefits or is deemed disabled under the terms and conditions
of any disability insurance policy carried on Executive by the Company or the Bank, he shall be deemed to be disabled as provided herein without further proof. Executive shall make himself available for and submit to such examinations by said
physician as may be directed from time to time by the physician. Failure to submit to any such examination shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
 13.
Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.  (a)  Executive acknowledges
that he has performed services or will perform services hereunder, which directly affect Employer’s business. Accordingly, the parties deem it necessary to enter into the protective agreement set forth below, the terms and condition of which
have been negotiated by and between the parties hereto.
 (b)
In the event of termination of employment under this Agreement by action of Executive pursuant to 10(b) (ii) prior to the expiration of the term
of this Agreement, Executive agrees with Employer that through the actual date of termination of the Agreement, and for a period of twelve (12) months after such termination date, Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of Employer,
within the Primary 
 
5

  Service Area of the Bank as set forth in the charter Application filed by the Bank with the OCC, either directly or indirectly, serve as an executive officer
of any bank, bank holding company or other financial institution.
 (c)
The covenants of Executive set forth in this Section 13 are separate and independent covenants for which valuable consideration has been paid,
the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are acknowledged by Executive, and have also been made by Executive to induce Employer to enter into this Agreement. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction finds that Executive has violated
the provisions of this Section 13, then, as partial relief to Employer, all unexercised options granted to Executive pursuant to Section 9 hereof shall immediately become null and void. Further, each of the aforesaid covenants may be availed of or
relied upon by Employer in any court of competent jurisdiction, and shall form the basis of injunctive relief and damages including expenses of litigation (including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees) suffered by Employer arising
out of any breach of the aforesaid covenants by Executive. The covenants of Executive set forth in this Section 13 are cumulative to each other and to all other covenants of Executive in favor of Employer contained in this Agreement and shall
survive the termination of this Agreement of the purposes intended. Should any covenant, term, or condition contained in this Section 13 become or be declared invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the parties may
request that such court judicially modify such unenforceable provision consistent with the intent of this Section 13 so that it shall be enforceable as modified, and in any event the invalidity of any provision of this Section 13 shall not affect
the validity of any other provision in this Section 13 or elsewhere in this Agreement.
 14.
Notices.  Any notice required or desired to be given under this Agreement shall be deemed given if
in writing sent by certified mail to his residence in the case of Executive, or to its principal office in the case of Employer.
 15.
Waiver of Breach.  The waiver by Employer of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by
Executive shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by Executive. No waiver shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an authorized officer of Employer.
 16.
Assignment.  Executive acknowledges that the services to be rendered by him are unique and personal. Accordingly, Executive may not assign any of his rights or delegate any of his duties or obligations under this Agreement. The rights and
obligations of Executive under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Employer.
 17.
Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the State of
Georgia.
 18.
Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties hereto regarding employment of Executive, and supersedes and replaces any prior agreement relating hereto. It may not be changed orally
but only by an agreement in writing
 
6

  signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification, extension, or discharge is sought.
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.

to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Certificates. 
 
Section 2.07 Initial Registration, Registration of Transfer. The Registrant shall maintain a register (the “Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Registrar

At the option of the Holder, certificated Certificates may be

surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Certificates which the Certificate Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Holders may transfer ownership of an uncertificated
Certificate on the Register only by written notice to the Registrar signed by the owner(s), or the owner’s authorized representative, on a form to be supplied by the Registrar. 
 
All Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates shall be the valid
obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Certificates surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Issuer

therefrom, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expenses incurred by the Issuer or the Trustee in connection therewith. If any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall have become or shall be about to become due and payable, or shall have become subject to redemption in full, instead of issuing a new Certificate, the Issuer may pay such Certificate without
surrender thereof, except that any mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered. 
 
Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto
and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 
Every new Certificate issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any
and all other Certificates duly issued hereunder.

Substitution of Pledged Assets.

held by it after giving effect to the withdrawal of the Pledged Assets listed in the Issuer Request referred to in Clause (i) above, and inclusion of any substitute Eligible Collateral listed in such Issuer Request, determined as of such Valuation
Date, would not be less than the Basic Maintenance Amount determined as of such Valuation Date. 

 

	 	(iii)	 	The Issuer delivers to the Trustee a certificate of fair value if required by Section 314(d)(1) or Section 314(d)(3) of the TIA.

receipt of the items required by subsection (c) hereof, and taking Delivery of any substitute Eligible Collateral, the Trustee shall promptly release, reassign and deliver to the Issuer the Pledged Assets referred to in clause (i) above.

 
(b) The Issuer may, at its option, withdraw or
substitute other Eligible Collateral for Pledged Assets at any time pursuant to this Section 4.09(b), rather than pursuant to Section 4.09(a), by delivery to the Trustee of an Issuer Request requesting that Pledged Assets listed therein be
withdrawn, and listing any Eligible Collateral requested to be substituted therefor, if any, whereupon the Trustee shall promptly (upon taking Delivery of any Eligible Collateral to be substituted, if any) release, reassign and deliver to the Issuer
the Pledged Assets to be withdrawn. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may not withdraw Eligible Collateral from the Pledged Assets or substitute other Eligible Collateral therefor, unless the Trustee determines, based upon the Officers’
Certificate to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.09(c) and the Certificate of Available Eligible Collateral dated as of the most recent Valuation Date, that as of such date of withdrawal or substitution, the aggregate Value of the Pledged Assets
that would be held by the Trustee after giving effect to such Issuer Request and to any other additions to or withdrawals from the Pledged Assets would be at least equal to the Basic Maintenance Amount determined as of such Valuation Date.

 
(c) Delivery to the Trustee of any Eligible
Collateral to be substituted for other Eligible Collateral being withdrawn from Pledged Assets pursuant to this Section shall be accompanied by a Certificate of Available Eligible Collateral. 
 
(d) Upon such withdrawal or substitution, the Trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, or take such other action, as the Issuer shall reasonably request to vest in it full legal title and beneficial ownership of any
Pledged Assets withdrawn pursuant hereto. 
 
(e)
Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Issuer may not make any withdrawal or substitution provided for in this Section without the consent of the Trustee.

 
Section 4.10 Protection of Pledged
Assets. 
 
(a) The Issuer will from time to
time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and will take such other action as may be necessary or advisable
to: 
 

22 

 

	 	(i)	 	Grant more effectively all or any portion of the Pledged Assets; 

 

	 	(ii)	 	maintain or preserve the lien of this Indenture or carry out more effectively the purposes hereof; 

 

	 	(iii)	 	perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any Grant made or to be made by this Indenture; 

 

	 	(iv)	 	enforce any of the Mortgage Documents; or 

 

	 	(v)	 	preserve and defend title to the Pledged Assets and the rights of the Trustee, and of the Holders, in the Pledged Assets against the claims of all Persons and
parties. 

 
The Issuer hereby
designates the Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument required pursuant to this Section 4.10 upon Issuer’s preparation of same and presentation to the Trustee for
execution; provided, however, that such designation shall not be deemed to create a duty in the Trustee to monitor the compliance of the Issuer with the foregoing covenants. 
 
ARTICLE V 
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
 
Section 5.01 Event of Default. “Event of Default”, wherever used herein, means, with respect to Certificates issued hereunder, any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and
whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): 
 
(a) if the Issuer shall default in the payment when and as due
of any installment of principal of or interest on any Certificate; or 
 
(b) if the Issuer shall breach, or default in the due observance or performance of, any other of its covenants in this Indenture, and such Default shall continue for a period of 30 days after there shall have been given, by
registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by the Trustee, or to the Issuer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates representing more than two-thirds of the aggregate Principal Amount, a written notice specifying such Default and requiring
it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; 
 
(c) if any representation or warranty of the Issuer made in this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall prove to be incorrect in any
material respect as of the time when the same shall have been made and, within 30 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, written notice thereof to the Issuer by the Trustee, or to the Issuer and the Trustee by the
Holders of Certificates representing more than two-thirds of the aggregate Principal Amount, the circumstance or condition in respect of which such representation or warranty was incorrect shall not have been eliminated or otherwise cured;

 
(d) the entry of a decree or order for relief by
a court having jurisdiction in respect of the Issuer in an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter in effect, or any other present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or 
 

23 

 
similar law, or appointing a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer and the continuance of any
such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or 
 
(e) the commencement by the Issuer of a voluntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter in effect, or any other present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar law, or the consent by the Issuer to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or of any substantial part of its property or the
making by the Issuer of an assignment for the benefit of creditors or the failure by the Issuer generally to pay its debts as such debts become due or the taking of corporate action by the Issuer in furtherance of any of the foregoing. 
 
Section 5.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and
Annulment. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Certificates, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of Certificates representing more than two-thirds of the aggregate Principal Amount may declare
all the Certificates to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such Certificates shall become immediately due and payable in an amount equal to:

 

	 	(i)	 	the aggregate Principal Amount of the Certificates, and 

 

	 	(ii)	 	accrued and unpaid interest at the respective Certificate interest rates on the aggregate Principal Amount through the date of acceleration.

 
At any time after such a
declaration of acceleration of maturity of the Certificates has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Trustee or the Holders of
Certificates representing more than a majority of the aggregate Principal Amount, by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
 

	 	(1)	 	the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Trustee in the Certificate Payment Account for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such payments a sum sufficient to
pay: 

 

	 	(a)	 	all payments of principal of, and interest on, all Certificates and all other amounts which would then be due hereunder or upon such Certificates if the Event of
Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and 

 

	 	(b)	 	all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

 

	 	(2)	 	all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of Certificates which have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived.

 

24 

 
No such
rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 
If any Event of Default shall occur and not be cured or waived within thirty (30) days thereafter, the rate of interest borne by each outstanding Certificate shall be increased by 0.50% per annum,
effective on the date of the Event of Default. 
 
Section 5.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Issuer covenants that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing in respect to the Certificates and the Certificates have been
declared due and payable and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates: 
 

	 	(i)	 	the amounts specified in the first paragraph of Section 5.02, and 

 

	 	(ii)	 	in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to over the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 

 
If the Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and
unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Certificates and collect, out of the Pledged Assets, wherever situated, of the Issuer, the moneys
adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law; provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor any of its agents, officers, directors, employees, successors or assigns shall be personally liable for any amounts due under the
Certificates or this Indenture. 
 
If an Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by any Proceedings the Trustee deems appropriate 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 enforce any other proper remedy, including, without limitation, instituting a Proceeding prior to any declaration of
acceleration of the Maturity of the Certificates for the collection of all amounts then due and unpaid on such Certificates, prosecuting such Proceeding to final judgment or decree, enforcing the same against the Issuer and collecting out of the
property, wherever situated, of the Issuer the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law. 
 
Section 5.04 Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Certificates have been declared due and
payable and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Trustee (subject to Section 5.18, to the extent applicable) may do one or more of the following: 
 
(a) institute Proceedings for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Certificates, or under this
Indenture, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer moneys adjudged due; 
 

25 

 
(b) in
accordance with Section 5.18, sell the Pledged Assets or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private Sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law; 
 
(c) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete
or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Pledged Assets; and 
 
(d) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Trustee or the Holders of the
Certificates hereunder. 
 
Section 5.05 [RESERVED].

 
Section 5.06 Trustee May File Proofs of
Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, composition or other judicial Proceeding relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon any of the Certificates or the
property of the Issuer or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the Certificates shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall
have made any demand on the Issuer for the payment of any overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceeding or otherwise to: 
 

	 	(i)	 	file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Certificates and file such other papers or documents and
take such other actions as it deems necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the
Holders allowed in such Proceeding; and 

 

	 	(ii)	 	collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator or sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07. 

 
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the
Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting any of the Certificates or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to
vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such Proceeding. 
 
Section 5.07 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Certificates. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any of the Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any Proceeding relating thereto, and any such Proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment

 

26 

shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Certificates in respect of which such judgment has
been recovered. Any surplus shall be available, in accordance with Section 5.08, for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 
Section 5.08 Application of Money Collected. If the
Certificates have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, any money collected by the Trustee with respect to the Certificates pursuant to this
Article or otherwise and any monies that may then be held or thereafter received by the Trustee with respect to the Certificates shall be applied from the Certificate Payment Account for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such payments, after
payment to the Trustee of such amounts as may be payable to it under Section 6.07, in the order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of the entire amount due on account of principal of, and interest on, such
Certificates, upon presentation and surrender thereof: 
 
First: To the payment of amounts then due and unpaid to any servicer of the Pledged Assets, provided that such servicer is not the Issuer and such amounts are payable pursuant to the terms of a written servicing agreement;

 
Second: To the payment of amounts of
interest and principal then due and unpaid upon the Outstanding Certificates; and 
 
Third: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Issuer or any other Person legally entitled thereto. 
 
Section 5.09 Limitation on Suits. No Holder of a Certificate shall have any right to institute any
Proceedings, 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 Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; 

 

	 	(2)	 	Holders of Certificates representing more than two-thirds of the aggregate Principal Amount of the Certificates shall have made written request to the Trustee to
institute Proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as the Trustee hereunder; 

 

	 	(3)	 	Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity in full against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

 

	 	(4)	 	The Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such Proceeding; and 

 

	 	(5)	 	direction inconsistent with such written request has not been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of Certificates representing more than
one-third of the aggregate Principal Amount; it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner 

 

27 

whatever by virtue of, or by availing themselves of, any provision of this Indenture to
affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Certificates or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for
the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Certificates. 
 
Section 5.10 Unconditional Rights of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, other than the provisions hereof limiting the right to recover amounts due on a
Certificate to recovery from the property of the Issuer, the Holder of any Certificate shall have the right, to the extent permitted by applicable law, which right is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of each installment of interest on
such Certificate on the respective Payment Dates of such installments of interest, to receive payment of each installment of principal of such Certificate on the respective Stated Maturities of such installments (or, in the case of any Certificate
called for redemption, on the date fixed for such redemption) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
 
Section 5.11 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the
Trustee or any Holder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then
and in every such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee
and the Holders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted. 
 
Section 5.12 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders 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 5.13 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Certificate 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 Article or by law to the Trustee or to the
Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 
Section 5.14 Control by Holders. The Holders representing more than two-thirds of the aggregate Principal Amount of the
Certificates shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided, however, that: 
 

	 	(1)	 	such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture; 

 

28 

 

	 	(2)	 	any direction to the Trustee to undertake a Sale of the Pledged Assets shall be by the Holders of Certificates representing the percentage of the aggregate Principal
Amount of the Certificates specified in Section 5.18(b); and 

 

	 	(3)	 	the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction; provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.01,
the Trustee need not take any action which it determines in good faith might involve it in personal liability or expenses or would not be in the best interests of the Holders. 

 
Section 5.15 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of
Certificates representing more than a majority of the aggregate Principal Amount of the Certificates may on behalf of the Holders of all the Certificates waive any past Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default: 
 

	 	(a)	 	in the payment of any installment of principal of, or interest on, any Certificate which became due other than by reason of acceleration; or

 

	 	(b)	 	in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Section 9.02 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Certificate
affected. 

 
Upon any such waiver,
such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising there from 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. 
 
Section 5.16 Undertaking for
Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Certificate by his or her acceptance thereof 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 Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as 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, 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 the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate Certificates representing more than 10% of the aggregate Principal Amount of the Certificates, or to
any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of any installment of interest on any Certificate or for the enforcement of the payment of any installment of principal of any Certificate when due (or, in the case of any
Certificate called for redemption, on or after the applicable redemption date). 
 
Section 5.17 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The 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 or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension of law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants in, or the performance of, this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such
power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 

29 

 
Section 5.18
Sale of Pledged Assets. 
 
(a) The power to
effect any sale (a “Sale”) of any portion of the Pledged Assets pursuant to Section 5.04 shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of the Pledged Assets remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until all of
the Pledged Assets shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Certificates and under this Indenture with respect thereto shall have been paid. The Trustee may from time to time postpone any public Sale by public announcement made at the time
and place of such Sale. The Trustee hereby expressly waives its right to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale. 
 
(b) To the extent permitted by law, the Trustee shall not in any private or public Sale sell or otherwise dispose of the Pledged Assets,
or any portion thereof in any manner which conflicts with any direction relating to the time, method and place of conducting a Sale given in writing to the Trustee by the Holders of the Certificates representing two-thirds of the aggregate Principal
Amount; or 
 
(c) In connection with a Sale of all
or any portion of the Pledged Assets: 
 

	 	 (i)	 	Trustee may bid for and purchase the property offered for Sale as Trustee on behalf of the Holders, and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain and
possess and dispose of such property for the benefit of the Holders, and may, in paying the purchase money therefor receive a credit up to the Outstanding Amount of the Certificates and accrued interest owed thereon; 

 

	 	(ii)	 	the Trustee may bid for and acquire the property offered for Sale in connection with any Sale thereof, and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for
the purchase price by crediting against the gross Sale price the expenses of the Sale and of any Proceedings in connection therewith which are reimbursable to it; 

 

	 	(iii)	 	the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Pledged Assets in connection with a
Sale thereof; 

 

	 	(iv)	 	the Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in any portion of the Pledged Assets in
connection with a Sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such Sale; and 

 

	 	(v)	 	no purchaser or transferee at such a Sale shall be bound to ascertain the Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see
to the application of any moneys. 

 
Section 5.19 Action on Certificates. The Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment 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 this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Trustee or the Holders of Certificates shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such
judgment upon any portion of the Pledged Assets. 
 

30 

 
ARTICLE VI

THE TRUSTEE 
 
Section 6.01 Duties of Trustee. 
 
(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture, 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 or her own affairs. 
 
(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 
 

	 	(i)	 	The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into
this Indenture; and 

 

	 	(ii)	 	In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein,
upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. The Trustee shall, however, examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

 
(c) The Trustee may not be
relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 

	 	(i)	 	This paragraph does not limit the effect of subsection (b) of this Section; 

 

	 	(ii)	 	The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 

 

	 	(iii)	 	The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section
5.14 or Section 5.18. 

 
(d) For all
purposes under this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Event of Default described in Section 5.01(c), 5.01(d) or 5.01(e) or any Default described in) or 5.01(b) unless a Responsible Officer assigned to and
working in the Trustee’s corporate trust department has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such an Event of Default or default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, and such
notice references the Certificates generally, the Issuer, the Pledged Assets or this Indenture. 
 
(e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. In determining that such repayment or
indemnity is not reasonably 
 

31 

assured to it, the Trustee must consider not only the likelihood of repayment or indemnity by or on behalf
of the Issuer but also the likelihood of repayment or indemnity from amounts payable to it from the Pledged Assets; provided, however, that, except as provided in the first sentence of this Section 6.01(e), the Trustee shall not refuse or fail to
perform any of its duties hereunder solely as a result of nonpayment of its reasonable fees and expenses; and provided further, however, that nothing in this Section 6.01(e) shall be construed to limit the exercise by the Trustee of any right or
remedy permitted under this Indenture or otherwise in the event of the Issuer’s failure to pay the amounts due the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07. 
 
(f) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to the provisions of this Section. 
 
(g) Notwithstanding any extinguishment of all right, title and
interest of the Issuer in and to the Pledged Assets following an Event of Default and a consequent declaration of acceleration of the Maturity of the Certificates, whether such extinguishment occurs through a Sale of the Pledged Assets to another
Person, the acquisition of the Pledged Assets by the Trustee or otherwise, the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee with respect to the Pledged Assets (or the proceeds thereof) and the Holders and the rights of Holders shall continue to be
governed by the terms of this Indenture. 
 
Section
6.02 Notice of Default. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice of each such Event of Default, unless such Default shall have
been cured or waived; provided, however, that except in the case of a Default of the type described in Section 5.01(a), the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a
trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Certificates; and provided, further, that in the case of any other Event of
Default no such notice to Holders of the Certificates shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. 
 
Section 6.03 Rights of Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01 hereof: 
 
(a) the 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, note, Certificate or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed
or presented by the proper party or parties; 
 
(b)
any request or direction of the Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Issuer Request or Issuer Order, and any resolution of the board of directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a written resolution; 
 
(c) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the
Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part,
rely upon an Officers’ Certificate; 
 
(d) the
Trustee may consult with counsel, and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel 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; 
 

32 

 
(e) the
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders of the Certificates under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed
supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section, the Trustee shall mail to the
Holders of the Certificates to which such supplemental indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however,
in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

(2) If less than all the Certificates of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Certificates to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trust from the Outstanding Certificates of such series not previously called for redemption,

Certificates which have not been so tendered. 
 
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Certificates selected for redemption and, in the case of any Certificates selected to be redeemed in part, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 
For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context

be redeemed.

applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date, 
 
(e) the place or places where such Certificates are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and 
 
(4) With respect to any notice of redemption of Certificates at the election of the Issuer, unless, upon the giving of such notice, such

to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Certificates and that if such money shall not have been so received such notice shall be of no force or effect and the Issuer shall not be required to redeem such
Certificates. In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such money is not so received, the redemption shall not be made and within a reasonable time thereafter notice shall be given, in the manner in which the notice
of redemption was given, that such money was not so received and such redemption was not required to be made. 
 
Notice of redemption of Certificates to be redeemed at the election of the Issuer, and any notice of non-satisfaction of a condition for
redemption as aforesaid, shall be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. 
 
(5) Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, and the conditions, if any, set forth in such notice having been satisfied, the
Certificates or portions thereof so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless, in the case of an unconditional notice of redemption, the
Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such Certificates or portions thereof, if interest-bearing, shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Certificate for redemption in accordance
with such notice, such Certificate or portion thereof shall be paid by the Issuer at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that any installment of interest on any Certificate the

ARTICLE XI 
MISCELLANEOUS

under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an
Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically
required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished. 
 
Every certificate, opinion or letter with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (including one
furnished pursuant to specific requirements of this Indenture relating to a particular application or request) shall include: 
 
(a) a statement that each individual signing such certificate, opinion or letter has read such covenant or condition and the definitions
herein relating thereto; 
 
(b) a brief statement
as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate, opinion or letter are based; 
 
(c) a statement that, in the opinion of each such individual, he or she has made such examination or
investigation as is necessary to enable such individual to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and 
 
(d) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition or covenant has been
complied with. 
 
Section 11.02 Form of
Documents Delivered to Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only
one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or
give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 
 
Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer 
 

44 

 
knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which this other certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such Issuer certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar
as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, the officers of the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, unless such officer or
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. Any Opinion of Counsel may be based on the written opinion of other counsel, in which
event such Opinion of Counsel shall be accompanied by a copy of such other counsel’s opinion and shall include a statement to the effect that such counsel believes that such counsel and the Trustee may reasonably rely upon the opinion of such
other counsel. 
 
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. 
 
Wherever in this Indenture, in connection with any application
or certificate or report to the Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’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
the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion
contained in any such document as provided in Section 6.01(b)(ii). 
 
Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the absence of the occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Trustee at the request or direction
of the Issuer, then, notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer’s right to make such request or direction, the Trustee shall be protected in acting in accordance with such request or direction
if it does not have knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of such Default or Event of Default as provided in Section 6.01(d). 
 
Section 11.03 Acts of Holders. 
 
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken
by Holders of Certificates may be embodied in any evidence by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are
herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders 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 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section. 
 
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by the certificate of any 
 

45 

notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgements of deeds, certifying that the
individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him or her the execution thereof. Whenever such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or
affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority. 
 
(c) The ownership of Certificates shall be proved by the Register. 
 
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Certificates shall bind the Holder of every Certificate issued upon the registration of
transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not any notation of such action is made upon such Certificates.

 
Section 11.04 Notices, Etc. to Trustee and
Issuer. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with: 
 
(a) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Issuer shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with and received by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office; 
 
(b) the Issuer by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (except as provided in Sections 5.01(b) and
(c)) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid, to the Issuer addressed to it at Foundation Capital Resources, Inc., 1430 Lelia Drive, Jackson, Mississippi 39216, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by
the Issuer. 
 
Section 11.05 Notices and Reports
to Holders; Waiver of Notices. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event or the mailing of any report to Holders, such notice or report shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if mailed,
first-class, postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event or to whom such report is required to be mailed, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date,
prescribed for the giving of such notice or the mailing of such report. In any case where a notice or report to Holders is mailed in the manner provided above, neither the failure to mail such notice or report, nor any defect in any notice or report
so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice or report with respect to other Holders, and any notice or report which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given or
provided. 
 
Where this Indenture provides for
notice in any manner, such notice maybe 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. Waiver of notice by any Holder shall be filed with the
Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
 
In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be
impractical to mail notice of any event to Holders 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 Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient
giving of such notice. 
 

46

Rules by Trustee and Agents. The Trustee may make reasonable rules for any meeting of Holders. Any Agent may make reasonable rules and set reasonable requirements for its functions.

the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 
Section 11.08 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 
 
Section 11.09 Separability. In case any provision in
this Indenture or in the Certificates shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 11.11 Legal Holidays. In any case
where the date of any Payment Date, or the Stated Maturity or any other date on which principal of, or interest on, any Certificate is proposed to be paid shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Certificates or
this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the nominal date of any such Payment Date or the Stated Maturity or other date for the payment of
principal of, or interest on, any Certificate, as the case may be, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date, provided such payment is made in full on such next succeeding Business Day. 
 
Section 11.12 Governing Law. This Indenture and each
Certificate shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the substantive laws of the State of Georgia applicable to agreements made and to be performed in the State of Georgia and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereto
and the Holders shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

the same instrument. 
 
Section 11.14 Recording
of Indenture. This Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording office, such recording to be effected by the Issuer and at its expense. 
 
Section 11.15 Issuer Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, against (i) any
holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer (solely in its capacity as such), (ii) any incorporator, subscriber to the capital stock, stockholder, partner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee, or successor or assign of a holder of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer, (iii) any manager, or any stockholder, officer, director or employee of any manager, or any predecessor of successor of any manager, or (iv) any incorporator, subscriber to the capital stock, stockholder, officer,
director or employee of the Trustee or any predecessor or successor of the Trustee with respect to the Issuer’s obligation with respect to the Certificates or the obligation of 
 

47

States or the State of Georgia (whichever shall permit the higher rate), which could lawfully be contracted for, charged or received (the “Highest Lawful Rate”). In the event any payment of interest on any Certificate exceeds the Highest
Lawful Rate, the Issuer stipulates that such excess amount will be deemed to have been paid as a result of an error on the part of both the Trustee, acting on behalf of the Holder of such Certificate, and the Issuer, and the Holder receiving such
excess payment shall promptly, upon discovery of such error or upon notice thereof from the Issuer or the Trustee, refund the amount of such excess or, at the option of the Trustee, apply the excess to the payment of principal of such Certificate,
if any, remaining unpaid. 
 
Section 11.17

hereby, the Original Indenture is ratified and affirmed. 
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each party has caused this Indenture to be executed by its duly authorized officer or officers as of the day and year first above written.
