      however,
      that the
      Employee shall be permitted to invest the Employee’s personal assets and manage

      if any,
      as may be provided by the Employer to similar employees of the Employer.

      Subject
      to approval by the Chief Financial Officer of the Employer and compliance with
      the Employer’s policies, the Employee may incur reasonable expenses on behalf of

      or

    

    (iii) Any
      violation of any material published policy of the Employer or its affiliates
      (material published policies include, but are not limited to, the Employer’s
      discrimination and harassment policy, management duty policy, responsible
      alcohol policy and insider trading policy);

    

          or

    

    (d)  At
      the

      the
      Employer or substantially all of the assets of the Employer; or

    

    (e)  At
      the
      election of the Employer, upon the determination by the Employer to cease the
      Employer’s business operations; or

    

    (f)  At

      election of the Employer in its sole discretion, for any reason or no reason.

      Employee shall be entitled to receive as full and complete severance
      compensation, the base salary provided for herein for a period of one (1) year
      from the effective date of such termination (the “Severance”). Severance shall
      be payable in bi-weekly installments. The Employee acknowledges and agrees

      in the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section
      8(f) the
      Severance provided in this Section
      8(f)
      shall be
      the only obligation that the Employer, OSI or any of their affiliates shall
      have
      to the Employee. Employee acknowledges that in the event of termination of
      Employee’s employment as President of the Employer, whether pursuant to this
      Section 8(f) or otherwise, any Long Term Incentive Agreement (“LTIA”) with the

      shall not be entitled to any further payments under such LTIA.

    

    For
      all
      purposes of this Agreement, termination for Cause shall be deemed to have

      foreseen.

    

    Except
      as
      otherwise provided in Section 8(f), in the event of termination of this

      effective date of termination, prorated on a daily basis.

    14.  Employee’s
      Promise Not to Disclose Trade Secrets and Confidential
      Information.
      Employee
      understands and agrees that Employer will provide unique and specialized
      training and confidential information concerning Employer’s business operations,
      including, but not limited to, recipes, product specifications, restaurant
      operating techniques and procedures, marketing techniques and procedures,
      financial data, processes, vendors and other information that was developed
      and
      maintained at considerable effort and expense to Employer, for the Employer’s
      sole and exclusive use, and which if used by the Employer’s competitors would
      give them an unfair business advantage. Employee believes the unconditional
      promise to provide said information is sufficient consideration for Employee’s
      promise to adhere to the restrictive covenants of Section
      9, Section 10,
      Section
      12
      and
Section
      14
      of this
      Agreement. 

    

    15.  Restrictive
      Covenants: Consideration; Non-Estoppel; Independent Agreements; and
      Non-Executory Agreements.
      The
      restrictive covenants of
      Section 9, Section 10, Section 12 and
      Section 14 of
      this
      Agreement are given and made by Employee to induce the Employer to employ the
      Employee and to enter into this Agreement with the Employee, and Employee hereby
      acknowledges that employment with the Employer is sufficient consideration
      for
      these restrictive covenants.

    

    The
      restrictive covenants of Section
      9, Section 10, Section 12 and
      Section 14 of
      this
      Agreement shall be construed as agreements independent of any other provision
      in
      this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Employee
      against the Employer, whether predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise,
      shall
      not constitute a defense to the enforcement of any restrictive covenant. The
      Employer have fully performed all obligations entitling them to the restrictive
      covenants of Section
      9, Section 10, Section 12 and
      Section 14 of
      this
      Agreement, and those restrictive covenants therefore are not executory or
      otherwise subject to rejection under the Bankruptcy Code.

    

    The
      refusal or failure of the Employer to enforce any restrictive covenant of
Section
      9, Section 10, Section 12 or
      Section 14 of
      this
      Agreement (or any similar agreement) against any other employee, agent, or
      independent contractor, for any reason, shall not constitute a defense to the
      enforcement by the Employer of any such restrictive covenant, nor shall it
      give
      rise to any claim or cause of action by Employee against the
      Employer.

    

    16.  Reasonableness
      of Restrictions; Reformation; Enforcement.
      The
      parties hereto recognize and acknowledge that the geographical and time
      limitations contained in Section
      9, Section 10, Section 12 and
      Section 14
      hereof
      are reasonable and properly required for the adequate protection of the
      Employer’s interests. Employee acknowledges that the Employer is the owner or
      the licensee of the Outback
      Steakhouse International®
      trademarks, and the owner or the licensee of the Outback
      Steakhouse International®
      restaurant operating system and will provide to Employee training in and
      confidential information concerning the Outback
      Steakhouse International®
      restaurant operating system in reliance on the covenants contained in
Section
      9, Section 10, Section 12 and
      Section 14
      hereof.
      It is agreed by the parties hereto that if any portion of the restrictions
      contained in Section
      9, Section 10, Section 12 or
      Section 14
      are held
      to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy, then the restrictions
      shall be considered divisible, both as to the time and to the geographical
      area,
      with each month of the specified period being deemed a separate period of time
      and each radius mile of the restricted territory being deemed a separate
      geographical area, so that the lesser period of time or geographical area shall
      remain effective so long as the same is not unreasonable, arbitrary, or against
      public policy. The parties hereto agree that in the event any court of competent
      jurisdiction determines the specified period or the specified geographical
      area
      of the restricted territory to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public
      policy, a lesser time period or geographical area that is determined to be
      reasonable, nonarbitrary, and not against public policy may be enforced against
      Employee. If Employee shall violate any of the covenants contained herein and
      if
      any court action is instituted by the Employer to prevent or enjoin such
      violation, then the period of time during which the Employee’s business
      activities shall be restricted, as provided in this Agreement, shall be
      lengthened by a period of time equal to the period between the date of the
      Employee’s breach of the terms or covenants contained in this Agreement and the
      date on which the decree of the court disposing of the issues upon the merits
      shall become final and not subject to further appeal.

          W. Coble

      

    

     

    In
      the
      event it is necessary for the Employer to initiate legal proceedings to enforce,
      interpret or construe any of the covenants contained in Section
      9, Section 10, Section 12 or
      Section 14
      hereof,
      the prevailing party in such proceedings shall be entitled to receive from
      the
      non-prevailing party, in addition to all other remedies, all costs, including
      reasonable attorneys’ fees, of such proceedings including appellate
      proceedings.

    

    17.  Specific
      Performance.
      Employee
      agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Section
      9, Section 10, Section 12 or
      Section 14 hereof
      will cause irreparable injury to the Employer for which the remedy at law will
      be inadequate and would be difficult to ascertain and therefore, in the event
      of
      the breach or threatened breach of any such covenants, the Employer shall be
      entitled, in addition to any other rights and remedies they may have at law
      or
      in equity, to obtain an injunction to restrain Employee from any threatened
      or
      actual activities in violation of any such covenants. Employee hereby consents
      and agrees that temporary and permanent injunctive relief may be granted in
      any
      proceedings that might be brought to enforce any such covenants without the
      necessity of proof of actual damages, and in the event the Employer does apply
      for such an injunction, Employee shall not raise as a defense thereto that
      the
      Employer has an adequate remedy at law.

    

    18.  Assignability.
      This
      Agreement and the rights and duties created hereunder, shall not be assignable
      or delegable by Employee. The Employer shall have the right, without Employee’s
      knowledge or consent, to assign this Agreement, in whole or in part and any
      or
      all of the rights and duties hereunder, including but not limited to the
      restrictive covenants of Section
      9, Section 10, Section 11, Section 12 and
      Section
      14
      hereof
      to any person, including but not limited to any affiliate of the Employer,
      or
      any successor to the Employer’s interest in the Outback
      Steakhouse International®
      restaurants, and Employee shall be bound by such assignment. Any assignee or
      successor may enforce any restrictive covenant of this Agreement.

    

    19.  Effect
      of Termination.
      The
      termination of this Agreement, for whatever reason or no reason, or the
      expiration of this Agreement shall not extinguish those obligations of Employee
      specified in Section
      9,
      Section
      10,
      Section
      11, Section 12
      and
Section
      14
      hereof.
      The restrictive covenants of Section
      9, Section 10, Section 11, Section 12 and
      Section 14 shall
      survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. The termination or
      expiration of this Agreement shall extinguish the right of any party to bring
      an
      action, either in law or in equity, for breach of this Agreement by any other
      party.

    

    20.  Captions;
      Terms.
      The
      captions of this Agreement are for convenience only, and shall not be construed
      to limit, define, or modify the substantive terms hereof.

    

    21.  Acknowledgments.
      Employee hereby acknowledges that the Employee has been provided with a copy

      signing it, that the Employee understands the purposes and effects of this
      Agreement, and that the Employee has been given a signed copy of this Agreement
      for Employee’s own records.

      a
      party by the other party shall be deemed validly given or sent if in writing

      requested, addressed to the parties at their addresses hereinabove set forth

    23.  Severability.
      Each
      section, subsection, and lesser Section of this Agreement constitutes a separate
      and distinct undertaking, covenant, or provision hereof. In the event that
      any
      provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable,
      such provision shall be deemed limited by construction in scope and effect
      to
      the minimum extent necessary to render the same valid and enforceable, and,
      in
      the event such a limiting

      from this Agreement, but every other provision of this Agreement shall remain
      in
      full force and effect.

    

    24.  Waiver.
      The
      failure of a party to enforce any term, provision, or condition of this
      Agreement at any time or times shall not be deemed a waiver of that term,
      provision, or condition for the future, nor shall any specific waiver of a
      term,
      provision, or condition at one time be deemed a waiver of such term, provision,
      or condition for any future time or times.

    

    25.  Parties.
      This
      Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties
      hereto and their legal representatives, and proper successors or assigns, as
      the
      case may be.

    

    26.  Governing
      Law.

      validity, interpretation, and performance of this Agreement shall be governed
      by
      the laws of the State of Florida without giving effect to the principles of
      comity or conflicts of laws thereof.

    

    27.  Consent
      to Personal Jurisdiction and Venue.
      Employee
      hereby consents to personal jurisdiction and venue, for any action brought
      by
      the Employer arising out of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement
      or
      out of the relationship established by this Agreement, exclusively in the United
      States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division, or
      in
      the Circuit Court in and for Hillsborough County, Florida; Employee hereby

      Trustee
        shall deposit the Swap Termination Payment into the reserve account that
        is a
        sub-account of the Swap Account. On each subsequent Distribution Date (so
        long
        as funds are available in the reserve account), the Supplemental Interest
        Trust
        Trustee shall withdraw from the reserve account and deposit into the Swap
        Account an amount equal to the amount of any Net Swap Receipt due the
        Supplemental Interest Trust (calculated in accordance with the terms of the
        original Interest Rate Swap Agreement) and treat such amount as a Net Swap
        Receipt for purposes of determining the distributions from the Swap Account.
        In
        no event shall the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee be responsible for
        the
        selection of any successor or replacement swap provider or any shortfalls
        caused
        by a failure to enter into a replacement interest rate swap
        agreement.

       

      Upon
        termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the Swap Account shall
        be
        distributed pursuant to the priorities set forth in this Section
        4.06.

       

      In
        the
        event that, upon the Supplemental Interest Trust entering into a replacement
        interest rate swap following the occurrence of an Additional Termination
        Event
        of the type described in Part 1(h)(ii) of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement,
        the
        Supplemental Interest Trust is entitled to receive a payment from a replacement
        swap provider, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall direct the
        replacement swap provider to make such payment to the Swap Account. Any Senior
        Defaulted Swap Termination Payment shall be made from the Swap Account to
        the
        Swap Provider immediately upon receipt of such payment, regardless of whether
        the date of receipt thereof is a Distribution Date. To the extent that any
        Replacement Swap Provider Payment is made to an account other than the Swap
        Account, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
        Agreement, any Senior Defaulted Swap Termination Payment shall be paid to
        the
        Swap Provider immediately upon receipt of such Replacement Swap Provider
        Payment, regardless of whether the date of receipt thereof is a Distribution
        Date and without regard to anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement.
        For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the Swap Provider shall
        have
        first priority to any Replacement Swap Provider Payment over the payment
        by the
        Trust to Certificateholders, the Servicer, the Responsible Party, the Trustee
        or
        any other Person.

       

        The
          beneficial owners of the Swap Account are the Class X Certificateholders.
          For
          federal income tax purposes, Net Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments
          payable to the Swap Provider shall be deemed to be paid to the Swap Account
          from
          REMIC IIIVI,
          first,
          by the Class IO Interest and second, other than any Defaulted Swap Termination
          Payment, from REMIC III by the Holders of the applicable Class or Classes
          of
          Offered Certificates (in respect of Class IO Shortfalls) as and to the
          extent
          provided in Section 8.13.

       

      Any
        Basis
        Risk CarryForward Amounts distributed by the Trustee to the Offered
        Certificateholders shall be accounted for by the Trustee, for federal income
        tax
        purposes, as amounts paid first to the Holders of the Class X Certificates,
        and
        then to the respective Class or Classes of Offered Certificates. In addition,
        the Trustee shall account for the rights of Holders of each Class of Offered
        Certificates to receive payments of Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts from
        the
        Swap Account (along with Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts payable from the
        Excess
        Reserve Fund Account) as rights in a separate limited recourse interest rate
        cap
        contract written by the Class X Certificateholders in favor of Holders of
        each
        such Class.

       

      At
        the
        option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other
        Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing
        the
        same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to
        be
        exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever any Certificates
        are
        so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate, and
        deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange
        is
        entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration
        of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
        in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or
        his
        attorney duly authorized in writing.

       

      No
        service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any registration
        of
        transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum sufficient to
        cover
        any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
        transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.

       

      All
        Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
        cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with the
        Trustee’s customary procedures.

       

        No
          transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is
          made
          pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
          and any
          applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements
          under said Act and such state securities laws. In determining whether a
          transfer
          is being made pursuant to an effective registration statement, the Trustee
          shall
          be entitled to rely solely upon a written notice to such effect from the
          Depositor. Except with respect to (i) the transfer of the Class X, Class
          P or
Class
          RResidual
          Certificates to the Depositor or
          an
          Affiliate of the Depositor or, in the case of the Class R-X Certificates,
          the
          initial transfer by an Affiliate of the Depositor or the first transfer

          initial transferee of
          an
          Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of the Class X or Class P
          Certificates to the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee, or (iii) a transfer
          of the
          Class X or Class P Certificates from the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee
          to the
          Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, in the event that a transfer
          of a
          Private Certificate which is a Physical Certificate is to be made in reliance
          upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure
          compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder
          desiring
          to effect such transfer shall certify to the Trustee in writing the facts
          surrounding the transfer in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit
          H (the
“Transferor
          Certificate”)
          and
          either (i) there shall be delivered to the Trustee a letter in substantially
          the
          form of Exhibit I (the “Rule
          144A Letter”)
          or
          (ii) there shall be delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the transferor
          an
          Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made without registration
          under the
          Securities Act. In the event that a transfer of a Private Certificate which
          is a
          Book-Entry Certificate is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from
          the
          Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities
          Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer
          will
          be deemed to have made as of the transfer date each of the certifications
          set
          forth in the Transferor Certificate in respect of such Certificate and
          the
          transferee will be deemed to have made as of the transfer date each of
          the
          certifications set forth in the Rule 144A Letter in respect of such Certificate,
          in each case as if such Certificate were evidenced by a Physical Certificate.
          The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and
          any
          prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding
          the
          related Certificates and the Mortgage

      

      Loans
        and
        such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to
        eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate
        without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the
        registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee and the Servicers
        shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information
        referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor
        such
        information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters
        regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet
        its
        obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate
        desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify
        the
        Trustee, the Depositor and each Servicer against any liability that may result
        if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal
        and state laws.

       

        Except
          with respect to (A) the transfer of the Class R,
          Class X orX,
          Class P
or
          Residual Certificates
          to the Depositor or
          an
          Affiliate of the Depositor or, in the case of the Class R-X Certificates,
          the
          initial transfer by an Affiliate of the Depositor or the first ransfer
          by the
          initial transferee of
          an
          Affiliate of the Depositor, (B) the transfer of the Class X or Class P
          Certificates to the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee, or (C) a transfer of
          the
          Class X or Class P Certificates from the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee
          to the
          Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, no transfer of an ERISA-Restricted
          Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received either
          (i) a
          representation from the transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and
          in form
          and substance satisfactory to the Trustee (in the event such Certificate
          is a
          Class P Certificate or a Residual Certificate, such requirement is satisfied
          only by the Trustee’s receipt of a representation letter from the transferee
          substantially in the form of Exhibit I), to the effect that such transferee
          is
          not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA,

          is hereby designated as agent of such Certificateholder for such purpose
          (or if
          the Trustee is not so permitted, such Holder shall be the Tax Matters Person
          in
          accordance with the REMIC Provisions). In such capacity, the Trustee shall,

      To
        enable
        the Trustee to perform its duties under this Agreement, the Depositor shall
        provide to the Trustee within ten days after the Closing Date all information

        data that the Trustee requests in writing and determines to be relevant for
        tax

        its
        duties under this Agreement; provided,
        however,
        that
        the Depositor shall not be required to provide any information regarding
        the
        Mortgage Loans that the Servicer is required to provide to the Trustee pursuant
        to this Agreement. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses,
        liabilities, damages, claims, or expenses of the Trustee arising from any
        errors
        or miscalculations of the Trustee that result from any failure of the Depositor
        to provide pursuant to this paragraph accurate information or data to the
        Trustee on a timely basis.

       

      Neither
        the Servicers nor the Trustee shall (i) permit the creation of any interests
        in
        any Trust REMIC other than the regular and residual interests set forth in
        the
        Preliminary

      cancellation,
        shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed
        not earlier than the 10th day and not later than the 15th day of the month
        of
        such final distribution. Any such Notice of Final Distribution shall specify
        (a)
        the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates will
        be
        made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein
        designated, (b) the amount of such final distribution, (c) the location of
        the
        office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made, and
        (d)
        that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not
        applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender
        of the
        Certificates at the office therein specified. The Trustee will give such
        Notice
        of Final Distribution to each Rating Agency at the time such Notice of Final
        Distribution is given to Certificateholders.

       

      In
        the
        event such Notice of Final Distribution is given, Wells Fargo shall cause
        all
        funds in its Collection Account to be remitted to the Trustee for deposit
        in the
        Distribution Account on the Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution
        Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in respect of the
        Certificates. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund and
        the
        receipt by the Trustee of a Request for Release therefor, the Trustee shall
        promptly release to Wells Fargo, the Custodial Files for the Mortgage
        Loans.

       

      Upon
        presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to
        be
        distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class (after reimbursement
        of all
        amounts due to Wells Fargo, the Depositor and the Trustee hereunder), in
        each
        case on the final Distribution Date and in the order set forth in Section
        4.02,
        in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to
        Certificateholders of the same Class, up to an amount equal to (i) as to
        each
        Class of Regular Certificates (except the Class X Certificates), the Certificate
        Balance thereof plus for each such Class and the Class X Certificates accrued
        interest thereon in the case of an interest-bearing Certificate and all other
        amounts to which such Classes are entitled pursuant to Section 4.02 and (ii)
        as
        to the Residual Certificates, the amount, if any, which remains on deposit
        in
        the Distribution Account (other than the amounts retained to meet claims)
        after
        application pursuant to clause (i) above.

       

        In
          the
          event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender Certificates
          for
          cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned
          written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining
          Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and
          receive
          the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after
          the
          second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered
          for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint
          an
          agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders
          concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall
          be paid
          out of the funds and other assets which remain a part of the Trust Fund.
          If
          within one year after the second notice all Certificates shall not have
          been
          surrendered for cancellation, the Class
          RResidual
          Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets
          of
          the Trust Fund which remain subject hereto.

       

      Additional
        Termination Requirements.
        In the
        event Wells Fargo exercises its purchase option with respect to the Mortgage
        Loans as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in
        accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee
        has
        been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense Wells Fargo, to
        the
        effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.03
        will not (i) result in

        Non-Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the Person otherwise liable
        for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the subsequent
        Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent Transferee
        is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer, such Person does
        not
        have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false.

       

      4.    The
        Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed
        on a
“pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable
        year of the pass-through entity a Person that is a Non-Permitted Transferee
        is
        the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee understands
        that
        such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to which the record
        holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record
        holder
        is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual
        knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a “pass-through
        entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust
        or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives
        and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding
        interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
        Person.)
