      2.           Repayment of Deferred Monthly Base Rental. Landlord and  Tenant  have agreed to defer One Hundred Seventy-Eight Thousand Two Hundred Twenty-Three and 20/lO0s Dollars ($178,223.20) (the "Deferred Rental"). In the event of a default under the Lease
        during the Deferral Period, the entire amount of Deferred Rental shall be immediately due and payable in full by Tenant to Landlord. If no default occurs during the Deferral Period, then in addition to the Monthly Base Rental and Tenant's
        Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses and Electrical Costs due for each month pursuant to the terms of the Lease, Tenant shall also pay back the Deferred Rental in sixty-seven (67) equal monthly installments of Two Thousand Six Hundred Sixty
        and 05/100s Dollars ($2,660.05) (the "Monthly Deferred Rental  Payment"), commencing on June 1, 2021 through and including December 31, 2026, payable at the same time as Monthly Base Rental and Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating
        Expenses and Electrical Costs are due and payable. Tenant's default in the payment of Monthly Deferred Rental Payment shall have the same effect and Landlord shall have the same remedies as Tenant's failure to pay Monthly Base Rental under the
        Lease.

       

      3.          Sublease During Deferral Period. In the event Tenant subleases some or all of the Premises during
        the Deferral Period, Tenant shall pay, as part of the repayment of the Deferred Rent, one hundred percent (100%) of any rentals payable by the subtenant to Landlord during the Deferral Period within five (5) days following receipt by Tenant from
        the subtenant. Any amounts paid in this manner shall reduce the number of monthly installments paid in section 2 above until such time that the entire Deferred Rent has been repaid.

      

      

      4.          Confidentiality. Tenant covenants and agrees that the economic and lease terms and conditions of
        this Amendment and any amendments, deferred payments, rental amounts, concessions, or other inducements granted or offered herein in connection with this Lease (collectively, the "Confidential Information"), are to remain confidential for
        Landlord's benefit, and may not be disclosed by Tenant to anyone, by any manner or means, directly or indirectly, without Landlord's prior written consent; however, Tenant may disclose the Confidential Information if required by law or
        court order, and to its attorneys, accountants, employees and existing or prospective financial partners provided same are advised by Tenant of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and each agrees to maintain the confidentiality
        thereof prior to disclosure. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any disclosures  made in violation  of this Section by Tenant or by any entity or individual to whom the Confidential Information was disclosed or made available to by Tenant.

      

      

      5.           Ratification: The Lease, as amended hereby, is hereby ratified, confirmed and deemed in full
        force and effect in accordance with its terms.  Tenant represents to Landlord that, to the best of Tenant's knowledge, Tenant (a) is currently unaware of any default by Landlord under the Lease; and (b) has full power and authority to execute and
        deliver this Amendment and this Amendment represents a valid and binding obligation of Tenant enforceable in accordance with its terms. Tenant agrees that its existing Lease shall be amended to reflect the agreements in this Amendment.

      

      

      6.           Multiple Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original instrument, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

       

      7.          Amendment: This Amendment may not be modified,  amended  or terminated nor any of its provisions
        waived except by written agreement signed by both parties. Except as amended previously and hereby, the Lease and all previous amendments shall remain in full force and effect, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(c)   Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 202 or of Section 205,   unless and until a Global Note is exchanged in whole for Definitive Notes, a Global Note may be   transferred, in whole, but not in part, and in the manner provided in this Section 202, only by (i)  the Depositary to a nominee of such Depositary, or (ii) by a nominee of such Depositary to such  Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or (iii) by such Depositary or any such nominee  to a successor Depositary selected or approved by the Issuer or to a nominee of such successor  Depositary or in the manner specified in Section 202(d).  The Depositary or the Issuer shall order   the Note Registrar to authenticate and deliver any Global Notes and any Global Note for each   Class of Notes having an aggregate initial outstanding principal balance equal to the initial   outstanding balance of such Class.  Noteholders shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in   and to such Notes through the book-entry facilities of the Depositary.  Without limiting the   foregoing, any Noteholders shall hold their respective Ownership Interests, if any, in Global Notes   only through Depositary Participants.                (d)   If (i) the Issuer elects to issue Definitive Notes, (ii) the Depositary for the   Notes represented by one or more Global Notes at any time notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling   or unable to continue as Depositary of the Notes or if at any time the Depositary shall no longer   be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor Depositary is not   appointed or approved by the Issuer within 90 days after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes   aware of such condition, as the case may be, (iii) the Indenture Trustee, at the written direction of                                          5   737897515 20654080 

 

   the Control Party for a Series, elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depositary  for such Series or (iv) after an Event of Default, the Control Party for a Series notifies the  Depositary or Book-Entry Custodian for such Series, as the case may be, in writing that the  continuation of a book-entry system through the Depositary or the Book-Entry Custodian, as the  case may be, is no longer in the best interest of the Noteholders of such Series, the Issuer will  promptly execute, and the Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate evidencing  such determination by the Issuer, will promptly authenticate and make available for delivery,  Definitive Notes, in authorized denominations and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the  principal amount of one or more Global Notes so exchanged in exchange for such one or more  Global Notes or as an original issuance of Notes and this Section 202(d) shall no longer be  applicable to the Notes of such Series.  Upon the exchange of the Global Notes for such Definitive  Notes without coupons, in authorized denominations, such Global Notes shall be canceled by the  Indenture Trustee.  All Definitive Notes shall be issued without coupons.  Such Definitive Notes  issued in exchange of the Global Notes pursuant to this Section 202(d) shall be registered in such  names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary in the case of an exchange or the  Note Registrar in the case of an original issuance, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect  participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Indenture Trustee.  The Indenture Trustee may  conclusively and exclusively rely on any such instructions furnished by the Depositary or the Note  Registrar, as the case may be, and shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions.   The Indenture Trustee shall make such Notes available for delivery to the Persons in whose names  such Notes are so registered.               (e)   As long as the Notes Outstanding are represented by one or more Global  Notes:                     (1)   the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee may deal with the              Depositary for all purposes (including the payment of principal of and interest on              the Notes) as the authorized representative of the Note Owners;                     (2)   the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through the              Depositary and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between              such Note Owners and the Depositary or the Depositary Participants.  Unless and              until Definitive Notes are issued, the Depositary will make book-entry transfers              among the Depositary Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal              of, and interest on, the Notes to such Depositary Participants; and                     (3)   whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken              based upon instructions or directions of Noteholders evidencing a specified              percentage of the voting rights of a particular Series, the Depositary shall be              deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received              instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or Depositary Participants              owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial              interest in the Notes (or Class of Notes) and has delivered such instruction to the              Indenture Trustee.                                          6  737897515 20654080 

 

                 (f)   Whenever a notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required   under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes have been issued to the Noteholders, the   Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications to the Depositary.                (g)   The Indenture Trustee is hereby appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and   hereby agrees to act as such in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depositary   authorizing it to act as such.  If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the   terms hereof, the successor Indenture Trustee or, if it so elects, the Depositary shall immediately   succeed to its predecessor’s duties as Book-Entry Custodian.  The Issuer shall have the rights to  inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Notes held as Global Notes by the Book-Entry Custodian.               (h)   The provisions of Section 205(g) shall apply to all transfers of Definitive  Notes, if any, issued in respect of Ownership Interests in the Rule 144A Global Notes.         Section 203 Execution; Recourse Obligation.  The Notes shall be executed on behalf of   the Issuer by an Authorized Signatory of the Issuer.  The Notes shall be dated the date of their   authentication by the Indenture Trustee.          In case any Authorized Signatory of the Issuer whose signature shall appear on the Notes   shall cease to be an Authorized Signatory of the Issuer before the authentication by the Indenture   Trustee and delivery of such Notes, such signature or facsimile signature shall nevertheless be   valid and sufficient for all purposes.          All Notes and the interest and other amounts payable thereon shall be full recourse   obligations of the Issuer and shall be secured by all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in the   applicable Collateral.  The Notes shall never constitute obligations of the Indenture Trustee, the   Manager, the Seller or of any shareholder or any Affiliate of the Seller (other than the Issuer) or   any member of the Issuer, or any officers, directors, employees or agents of any thereof, and no   recourse may be had under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of this Indenture, any   Supplement or of any Notes, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, against   any incorporator or against any past, present, or future owner, partner of an owner or any officer,   employee or director thereof or of any successor entity, or any other Person, either directly or   through the Issuer, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the   enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed that this   Indenture and the obligations issued hereunder are solely obligations of the Issuer, and that no such   personal liability whatever shall attach to, or is or shall be incurred by, any other Person under or   by reason of this Indenture, any Supplement or any Notes or implied therefrom, or for any claim   based thereon or in respect thereof, all such liability and any and all such claims being hereby   expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this   Indenture and the issue of such Notes.  Except as provided in any Supplement, no Person other   than the Issuer shall be liable for any obligation of the Issuer under this Indenture or any Note or   any losses incurred by any Noteholder.          Section 204 Certificate of Authentication.  No Notes shall be secured hereby or entitled   to the benefit hereof or shall be or become valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there shall   be endorsed thereon a certificate of authentication by the Indenture Trustee, substantially in the   form set forth in the form of Note attached to the related Supplement.  Such certificate on any Note                                          7   737897515 20654080 

 

     shall be conclusive evidence and the only competent evidence that the Note has been duly   authenticated and delivered hereunder.  At the written direction of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee   shall authenticate and deliver the Notes.  It shall not be necessary that the same signatory of the   Indenture Trustee execute the certificate of authentication on each of the Notes.          Section 205 Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Notes.                (a)   The Indenture Trustee shall keep at its Corporate Trust Office books for the   registration and transfer of the Notes (the “Note Register”).  The Issuer hereby appoints the  Indenture Trustee as its registrar (the “Note Registrar”) and transfer agent to keep such books and  make such registrations and transfers as are hereinafter set forth in this Section 205 and also  authorizes and directs the Indenture Trustee to provide a copy of such registration record to the  Manager upon its request.  The names and addresses of, and the principal amounts (and stated  interest) owing to, the Noteholders and all transfers of, and the names and addresses of the  transferee of, all Notes will be registered in such Note Register.  The Person in whose name any  Note is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and Noteholder thereof for all  purposes of this Indenture, and none of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or the Issuer shall  be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary.               (b)   Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on any Note shall be  payable on each Payment Date only to the Person that was the Noteholder thereof on the Record  Date immediately preceding such Payment Date.  The principal of, premium, if any, and interest  on each Note shall be payable at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee in immediately  available funds in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time for payment  shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.               (c)   Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in any Note to the contrary,  if so requested by the Noteholder by written notice (given at least ten (10) days prior to the  applicable Payment Date) to the Indenture Trustee, all amounts payable to such Noteholder may  be paid either (i) by crediting the amount to be distributed to such Noteholder to an account  maintained by such Noteholder with the Indenture Trustee or by transferring such amount by wire  to such other bank in the United States, including a Federal Reserve Bank, as shall have been  specified in such notice, for credit to the account of such Noteholder maintained at such bank, or  (ii) by mailing a check to such address as such Noteholder shall have specified in such notice, in  either case without any presentment or surrender of such Note to the Indenture Trustee at the  Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee (except in the case of final payment).               (d)   All payments on the Notes shall be paid to the Noteholders by wire transfer  of immediately available funds for receipt prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the related  Payment Date.  Any such payments received by the Noteholders after 2:00 p.m. (New York City  time) on any day shall be considered to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day;  provided, however, that if the Issuer has deposited the required funds with the Indenture Trustee  by close of business one (1) Business Day prior to the Payment Date, then the Issuer shall be  deemed to have made such payment at the time so required on such date.  Notwithstanding the  foregoing or any provision in any Note to the contrary, if so requested by the registered Noteholder  by written notice to the Indenture Trustee, all amounts payable to such registered Noteholder may  be paid by mailing a check to such address as such Noteholder shall have specified in such notice,                                          8   737897515 20654080 

 

     in either case without any presentment or surrender of such Note to the Indenture Trustee at the   Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee (except in the case of final payment).                (e)   Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the Corporate   Trust Office, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee, upon written request, shall   authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new   Notes of the same Series and Class, of any authorized denominations and of like aggregate original  principal amount.               (f)   All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall   be the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to  the same benefits under this Indenture and the relevant Supplement, as the Notes surrendered upon   such registration of transfer or exchange.                (g)   Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for   exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form   satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee duly executed, by the Noteholder thereof or his   attorney duly authorized in writing.                (h)   Any service charge, fees or expenses made or expense incurred by the   Indenture Trustee for any such registration of transfer or exchange referred to in this Section 205   shall be paid by the applicable Noteholder.  The Indenture Trustee or the Issuer may require  payment by the applicable Noteholder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other  governmental charge payable in connection therewith.               (i)   Unless otherwise specified in the related Supplement, no transfer of any  Note or interest therein shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective  registration statement under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under  applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration  or qualification.  If a transfer of any Definitive Note is to be made without registration under the  Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance thereof or a transfer thereof by  the Depositary or one of its Affiliates), then the Note Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer  unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) either: (i) an Investment Letter  signed by such Noteholder and such Noteholder’s prospective transferee; or (ii) an Opinion of  Counsel satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer to the effect that such transfer may be  made without registration under the Securities Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an  expense of the Issuer or any Affiliate thereof or of the Depositary, the Manager, the Indenture  Trustee or the Note Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the written  certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Noteholder desiring to effect such  transfer or such Noteholder’s prospective transferee on which such Opinion of Counsel is based.    If such a transfer of any interest in a Global Note is to be made without registration under the   Securities Act, the transferor will be deemed to have made each of the representations and   warranties set forth on Exhibit A hereto in respect of such interest as if it was evidenced by a   Definitive Note and the transferee will be deemed to have made each of the representations and   warranties set forth in either Exhibit A hereto in respect of such interest as if it was evidenced by   a Definitive Note.  None of the Depositary, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar   is obligated to register or qualify any Class of Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities                                          9   737897515 20654080 

 

     law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Indenture to permit the transfer of any   Note or interest therein without such registration or qualification.  Any Noteholder or Note Owner   desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositary, the   Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar against any liability that may result if any   transfer made in accordance with the preceding sentence did in fact require registration under the   Securities Act.                (j)   If Notes are issued or exchanged in definitive form under Section 202, such   Notes will not be registered by the Indenture Trustee unless each prospective initial Noteholder   acquiring a Note, each prospective transferee acquiring a Note and each prospective owner (or   transferee thereof) of a beneficial interest in Notes (each, a “Prospective Owner”) acquiring such   beneficial interest provides the Manager, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any successor   Manager with a written representation to the effect set forth in either subsection (i) or (ii) of the   second sentence of Section 208.                (k)   No sale, assignment or other transfer of a Note shall be effective or deemed   effective if such sale, assignment or other transfer is to a Competitor (as determined by the Issuer).    Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Issuer is under any obligation to register the Notes under the   Securities Act or any other securities law or to bear any expense with respect to such registration   by any other Person or monitor compliance of any transfer with the securities laws of the United   States regulations promulgated in connection thereto or ERISA.                (l)   Any Note for which an Opinion of Counsel has not been rendered to the   Issuer to the effect that such Note will constitute debt for United States federal income tax purposes   (a “Subject Note”) shall be subject to the limitations of this Section 205(l).  No Subject Notes    may be transferred, and no transfer (or purported transfer) of all or any part of a Subject Note (or   any direct or indirect economic or beneficial interest therein) (a “Transferred Note”) whether to   another Noteholder or to a Person that is not a Noteholder (a “Transferee”), shall be effective,   and to the greatest extent permitted under Applicable Law any such transfer (or purported transfer)   shall be void ab initio, and no Person shall otherwise become a Holder of a Subject Note, except,   in each case, for Subject Notes transferred to Affiliates of the Issuer, unless: (i) the Transferee   provides the Note Registrar with its representations and warranties made for the benefit of the   Issuer to the effect that: (A) either (I) it is not and will not become for U.S. federal income tax   purposes a partnership, Subchapter S corporation or grantor trust (each such entity a “flow-  through entity”) or (II) if it is or becomes a flow-through entity, then (x) none of the direct or   indirect beneficial owners of any of the interests in the Transferee have or ever will have all or   substantially all the value of its interest in the Transferee attributable to the interest of the   Transferee in any Transferred Note, any other Notes, other interest (direct or indirect) in the Issuer,   or any interest created under this Indenture or (y) it is not and will not be a principal purpose of   the arrangement involving the investment of the Transferee in any Transferred Note to permit any   partnership to satisfy the 100 partner limitation of Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) of the Treasury   Regulations necessary for such partnership not to be classified as a publicly traded partnership   under the Code, (B) the Transferee will not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise convey any   participating interest in any Note or any financial instrument or contract the value of which is  determined by reference in whole or in part to any Note, and (C) it is not acquiring and will not  sell, transfer, assign, participate, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Transferred Note(s) (or  interest therein) or cause any Transferred Note(s) (or interest therein) to be marketed on or through                                          10   737897515 20654080 

 

     an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code, including,   without limitation, an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell   quotations, and (ii) after such transfer there would be no more than 90 members of the limited   liability company that is the Issuer (including as members, solely for purposes of this Section   205(l), Holders of any Subject Notes and any other instruments subject to the transfer restrictions   of this Section 205(l)).  The Issuer shall not recognize any prohibited Transfer described in this   paragraph either (i) by redeeming the transferor’s interest, or (ii) by admitting the Transferee as   such a Holder or otherwise recognizing any right of the Transferee (including, without limitation,   any right of the Transferee to receive payments or other distributions from the Issuer, directly or   indirectly).          Section 206 Mutilated Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.                (a)   If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the   Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note,   and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as it and the Issuer   may require to hold the Issuer, the Manager and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then the Issuer   shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of   any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of the same Series and Class   and maturity and of like terms as the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note; provided, however,   that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become, or  within seven days shall be, due and payable, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note  when so due or payable instead of issuing a replacement Note.               (b)   If, after the delivery of such replacement Note, or payment of a destroyed,  lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a protected purchaser (as  defined in the UCC) of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued (or  such payment was made) presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture  Trustee shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent   of any and all loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in   connection therewith.                (c)   The Indenture Trustee and the Issuer may, for each new Note authenticated   and delivered under the provisions of this Section 206, require the advance payment by the  Noteholder of the expenses, including counsel fees, service charges and any tax or governmental  charge that may be incurred by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in connection therewith.  Any  Note issued under the provisions of this Section 206 in lieu of any Note alleged to be destroyed,  mutilated, lost or stolen, shall be equally and proportionately entitled to the benefits of this  Indenture with all other Notes of the same Series and Class.  The provisions of this Section 206   are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to   the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.          Section 207 Delivery, Retention and Cancellation of Notes.  Each Noteholder is   required, and hereby agrees, to return to the Indenture Trustee, such return to be completed prior   to the receipt of such payment, any Note on which the final payment due thereon is to be made.   Any such Note as to which the Indenture Trustee has made or holds the final payment thereon shall  be deemed canceled, and shall no longer be Outstanding for any purpose of this Indenture, whether                                          11   737897515 20654080 

 

   or not such Note is ever returned to the Indenture Trustee.  Matured Notes delivered prior to final  payment to the Indenture Trustee and any Notes transferred or exchanged for other Notes shall be  canceled and disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its policy of disposal and  the Indenture Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Issuer such canceled Notes.  If the Indenture  Trustee shall acquire, for its own account, any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a  redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes.  If the Issuer shall  acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the  indebtedness represented by such Notes.  Notes which have been canceled by the Indenture Trustee  shall be deemed paid and discharged for all purposes under this Indenture.         Section 208 ERISA Deemed Representations.  Each prospective initial Noteholder and  each Prospective Owner of a Note will be deemed to have represented and warranted by such  purchase that either (i) it is not acquiring and will not hold the Notes with the plan assets of a  Benefit Plan or any other plan that is subject to Similar Law; or (ii) (a) the Notes are rated  investment grade or better by a nationally recognized statistical rating agency at the time of  purchase or transfer and have not been characterized as other than indebtedness for applicable local  law purposes and (b) the acquisition, holding and disposition of the Note will not give rise to a  non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or a  violation of Similar Law.                                    ARTICLE III                                                        PAYMENT OF NOTES; STATEMENTS TO NOTEHOLDERS         Section 301 Principal and Interest.  Distributions of principal, premium, if any, and  interest on any Series or Class of Notes shall be made to Noteholders of each Series and Class as  set forth in the related Supplement.  Except as set forth in any Supplement, all interest payable on  the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days which  have elapsed in the relevant calculation period.               (a)   The Issuer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make (or to direct  the Indenture Trustee to make) principal payments on any Series of Notes and payments of other  Outstanding Obligations from some or all of (i) amounts available for such purpose pursuant to  the terms of an applicable Supplement, (ii) proceeds of the issuance of any Series of Notes and  (iii) other funds held by the Issuer not constituting Series-Specific Collateral for another Series.   Without limiting the foregoing, at the direction and in the sole discretion of the Issuer, amounts  and proceeds contemplated by the preceding sentence may be included in distributions in respect  of principal payments on the Notes of one or more Series and payments of other Outstanding  Obligations.         Section 302 Investment of Monies Held in each Revenue Reserve Account, each  Restricted Cash Account, and each Other Series Account; Control over Eligible Investments.               (a)   The Indenture Trustee shall invest any cash deposited in each Revenue  Reserve Account, each Restricted Cash Account, and each other Series Account in such Eligible  Investments as the Issuer shall direct in writing.  Each Eligible Investment (including reinvestment  of the income and proceeds of Eligible Investments) shall be held to its maturity and shall mature                                         12  737897515 20654080 

 

     or shall be payable on demand not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next   succeeding Payment Date.  If the Indenture Trustee has not received written instructions from the   Issuer by 2:30 p.m. (New York time) on the day such funds are received as to the investment of   funds then on deposit in any of the aforementioned accounts, the Issuer hereby instructs the   Indenture Trustee to invest such funds in overnight investments of the type described in clause (vi)   of the definition of Eligible Investments.  Absent the availability of such investment, the funds   shall remain uninvested pending receipt of such instructions or such availability.  Eligible   Investments shall be made in the name of the Securities Intermediary, and subject to the terms of   the Control Agreements.

The Issuer acknowledges that  upon its written request and at no additional cost, it has the right to receive notification after the  completion of each purchase and sale of Eligible Investments or the Indenture Trustee’s receipt of  a broker’s confirmation.

(f)   The Issuer shall not direct the Indenture Trustee to make any investment of  any funds or to sell any investment held in any Revenue Reserve Account, any Restricted Cash  Account or any other Series Account unless the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in such  account and any funds or investments held therein shall continue to be perfected without any  further action by any Person.         Section 303 Reports to Noteholders.  The Indenture Trustee shall, promptly upon the   receipt thereof, make available to each Noteholder and the Transition Agent a copy of all reports,   financial statements and notices received by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Contribution   and Sale Agreement, the Indenture (including any Supplements issued pursuant thereto), the   Transition Agent Agreement or the Management Agreement, by posting copies thereof on its   password-protected website (www.wilmingtontrustconnect.com) or at such other address as shall   be specified by the Indenture Trustee from time to time in writing to each Noteholder and the   Transition Agent; provided, however, the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to provide   such information described in this Section 303 until it has received the requisite information from   the applicable party.

Section 305 [Reserved]          Section 306 CUSIP Numbers.  The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP”   numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Indenture Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in   notices of redemption as a convenience to Noteholders; provided that any such notice may state   that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes   or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other   identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any   defect in or omission of such numbers.  The Issuer will promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of   any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.          Section 307 No Claim.

     against the Issuer or the Collateral in the event such amounts are not paid in accordance with the   terms of this Indenture or in accordance with any Supplement.          Section 308 Compliance with Withholding Requirements.  Notwithstanding any other   provision of this Indenture, the Issuer and Indenture Trustee shall comply with all United States   federal income tax withholding requirements (without any corresponding gross-up) with respect   to payments to Noteholders of interest, original issue discount, or other amounts that the Issuer or   the Indenture Trustee reasonably believes are subject to withholding under the Code or other   Applicable Law.  The consent of Noteholders shall not be required for any such withholding.          Section 309 Tax Treatment of Notes. (a) The Issuer has entered into this Indenture, and   the Notes will be issued, with the intention that, for United States federal, state and local income,   single business and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness.  The Issuer and  the Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder and beneficial owner   of a Note, by its acceptance of its Note or of a beneficial interest therein, will be deemed to, agree  to treat the Notes as indebtedness for United States federal, state and local income, single business  and franchise tax purposes.               (b)   With respect to any outstanding Notes retained by the Issuer or conveyed to  an Affiliate of the Issuer and sold to an unrelated purchaser at a later time (a “Later-Sold Note”),   such sale will not be effective unless (A) the Issuer receives a Tax Opinion with respect to such   sale and (B) either (i) such Later-Sold Note has a CUSIP number that is different than that of any   other Notes outstanding immediately prior to such sale, or (ii) the Issuer receives an Opinion of  Counsel that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, either (x) such Later-Sold Note has the same  issue price and issue date as do any outstanding Notes that have the same CUSIP number as the  Later-Sold Note or (y) neither the Later-Sold Note nor any Outstanding Note that have the same  CUSIP number as the Later-Sold Note were issued with original issue discount. In addition, with  respect to the sale of a Later-Sold Note, such sale will not be effective unless the Issuer receives  an Opinion of Counsel that such Note will be characterized as indebtedness for U.S. federal income   tax purposes.                                     ARTICLE IV                                                                             COLLATERAL         Section 401 Collateral.  (a)  The Notes and all other Outstanding Obligations shall be   obligations of the Issuer as provided in Section 203 hereof.  The Indenture Trustee, on behalf of   the Noteholders, shall also have the benefit of, and the Outstanding Obligations with respect to   each Series shall be secured by and be payable from, the Issuer’s right, title and interest in the   related Series-Specific Collateral and any Shared Collateral allocable to such Series, and each   Noteholder of each Series, by its acceptance of a Note of such Series, shall be deemed to disclaim   any right, title or interest in any Series-Specific Collateral not securing payment of such Note under   the terms of the related Supplement and any Shared Collateral not allocable to such Series.  The   income, payments and proceeds of such Collateral shall be allocated to each such Person strictly   in accordance with the applicable payment priorities set forth in this Indenture or the applicable   Supplement.                                           15   737897515 20654080 

 

                 (b)   Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, the   Issuer expressly agrees that it shall remain liable under each of its Contracts and Leases to observe  and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder and  that it shall perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant  to the terms and provisions of each such Contract or Lease, as the case may be.               (c)   The Indenture Trustee hereby acknowledges the appointment by the Issuer  of the Manager to service and administer the Managed Containers and related Leases in accordance  with the provisions of the Management Agreement and the Intercreditor Collateral Agreement.  So  long as the Management Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with its terms,   the Indenture Trustee hereby agrees to provide the Manager with such documentation, and to take   all such actions with respect to the Managed Containers and related Leases as the Manager may   reasonably request in accordance with the express provisions of the Management Agreement and  the Intercreditor Collateral Agreement; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall be   entitled to receive from the Manager reasonable compensation and cost reimbursement for any   such action.  Until such time as the Management Agreement has been terminated in accordance   with its terms, the Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, shall continue to collect all Accounts and  payments on the Leases of the Managed Containers in accordance with the provisions of the   Management Agreement and the Intercreditor Collateral Agreement and deposit such amounts into   each applicable Series Account in accordance with the provisions of the Management Agreement   and the Intercreditor Collateral Agreement.  Any Proceeds received directly by the Issuer in   payment of any Account or Leases with respect to, or in payment for or in respect of, any of the   Managed Containers or on account of any of the Contracts to which the Issuer is a party shall be  deposited by the Issuer in the applicable Series Account in accordance with the provisions of the   Management Agreement and the Intercreditor Collateral Agreement, and until so deposited shall   continue to be collateral security for all of the obligations secured by this Indenture and shall not   constitute payment thereof until applied as hereinafter provided.  If (i) a Series-Specific Event of   Default has occurred or (ii) any Sale of Collateral pursuant to Section 816 hereof shall have  occurred, the Issuer shall at the request of the Indenture Trustee, acting with the consent of or at   the direction of the Control Party for the applicable Series, to the extent practicable, deliver to the   Indenture Trustee (or such other Person as the Indenture Trustee may direct) originals (or, to the   extent originals cannot be delivered, copies) of all Leases and other documents evidencing, and   relating to, the sale, lease and delivery of the Managed Containers in the applicable Series-Specific   Container Pool and the Issuer shall, to the extent practicable, deliver originals (or, to the extent   originals cannot be delivered, copies) of all other documents evidencing and relating to, the   performance of any labor, maintenance, remarketing or other service which created any Accounts,   including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.                (d)   The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized to enter into the Supplemental   Collateral Agreement and to become a party to any control agreement with respect to any   Collection Account.          Section 402 Pro Rata Interest.                (a)   Except as expressly provided for herein or in any Supplement, the Notes of   all Outstanding Series shall be equally and ratably entitled to the benefits of this Indenture without  preference, priority or distinction, all in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Indenture                                          16   737897515 20654080 

 

     and the related Supplement.  All Notes of a particular Class issued hereunder are and are to be, to   the extent (including any exceptions) provided in this Indenture and the related Supplement,   equally and ratably secured by this Indenture without preference, priority or distinction on account   of the actual time or times of the authentication or delivery of the Notes so that all Notes of a   particular Series and Class at any time Outstanding (including Notes owned by the Seller and its   Affiliates, other than the Issuer) shall have the same right, Lien and preference under this Indenture   and shall all be equally and ratably secured hereby with like effect as if they had all been executed,   authenticated and delivered simultaneously on the date hereof.                (b)   If the conditions specified in Section 701 of this Indenture are met with  respect to a Series of Notes, the security interest, and all other estate and rights granted by this  Indenture with respect to such Series of Notes shall cease and become null and void, and all of the  property, rights, and interest granted as security for the Notes of such Series shall revert to and  revest in the Issuer without any other act or formality whatsoever.         Section 403 Indenture Trustee’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.                (a)   The Issuer hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Indenture   Trustee, and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful   attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Issuer and   in the name of the Issuer or in its own name, from time to time, for the purpose of carrying out the   terms of this Indenture, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and   all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of   this Indenture; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee has no obligation or duty to take such  action or to determine whether to perfect, file, record or maintain any perfected, filed or recorded  document or instrument (all of which the Issuer shall prepare, deliver and instruct the Indenture  Trustee to execute, if applicable) in connection with the grant or security interest in the Collateral.               (b)   The Indenture Trustee shall not exercise the power of attorney or any rights  granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 403 unless a Series-Specific Event of  Default shall have occurred and then be continuing.  The Issuer hereby ratifies, to the extent  permitted by law, all actions that said attorney shall lawfully do, or cause to be done, by virtue  hereof.  The power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 403 is a power coupled with an  interest and shall be irrevocable until all Series of Notes are paid and performed in full.               (c)   The powers conferred on the Indenture Trustee hereunder are solely to  protect the Indenture Trustee’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to  exercise any such powers except as set forth herein.  The Indenture Trustee shall be accountable  only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither it  nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be responsible to the  Issuer for any act or failure to act, except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence or,  with respect to any matter relating to the receipt, custody or distribution of funds or securities  actually received by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the Transaction Documents  (collectively, “Fund Control Matters”), negligence .                (d)   Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 3.4(c) of the Intercreditor  Collateral Agreement, the Issuer also authorizes (but does not obligate) the Indenture Trustee to                                          17   737897515 20654080 

 

     (i) so long as a Manager Termination Notice has been delivered in accordance with the terms of   the Management Agreement, communicate in its own name, or to direct any other Person,   including the Manager or a replacement Manager, to communicate with any party to any Contract   or Lease relating to a Managed Container and (ii) so long as a Series-Specific Event of Default is  continuing and a Manager Termination Notice has been delivered in accordance with the terms of  the Management Agreement, execute in connection with the sale of Collateral provided for in  Article VIII hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer  with respect to the Collateral.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the   parties hereto agree that: (i) for the purposes of Section 3.3(a) of the Intercreditor Collateral   Agreement, an “Event of Default” under this Indenture shall mean a Series Specific Manager   Default; and (ii) Section 3.3(b) of the Intercreditor Collateral Agreement shall not apply to the   Manager with respect to this Indenture or the Management Agreement.                (e)   If the Issuer fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained   herein and a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall receive notice of such failure, the   Indenture Trustee, with the consent of an applicable Control Party or the Requisite Global   Majority, as applicable, shall cause performance or compliance, or acting at the direction of an  applicable Control Party or the Requisite Global Majority shall perform or comply, with such   agreement; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to so perform  or comply if it has reasonable grounds to believe that payment of its expenses and interest thereon  (as set forth in the following sentence) is not reasonably assured.  The reasonable and documented  expenses, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses, of the Indenture  Trustee incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, shall be payable by the   Issuer to the Indenture Trustee on demand and shall constitute additional Outstanding Obligations   secured hereby and shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of the Supplements or Section   806 hereof.          Section 404 Administration of Collateral.  (a)  The Indenture Trustee shall as promptly   as practicable notify the Noteholders of the applicable Series and the Transition Agent of any   Manager Default of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge.  The Indenture Trustee, at   the written direction of the Control Party for such Series , shall deliver to the Manager (with a copy   to the Transition Agent and each Rating Agency) a Manager Termination Notice terminating the   Manager of its responsibilities with respect to such Series in accordance with the terms of the   Management Agreement, subject to the provisions in Section 3.4(c) of the Intercreditor Collateral   Agreement.  In addition, upon the occurrence of a Back-up Manager Event, the Transition Agent   (acting at the written direction of the Requisite Global Majority) shall solicit bids for a Back-up   Manager pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Management Agreement.  If a Back-up Manager shall not   have assumed the duties of the Manager as a replacement Manager pursuant to a Back-up   Management Agreement, or the Control Party for the applicable Series is unable to locate and   qualify a replacement Manager acceptable to such Control Party, in either case within sixty (60)   days after the date of delivery of the Manager Termination Notice, then the Indenture Trustee may   (and shall, upon the direction of such Control Party) appoint, or petition a court of competent   jurisdiction to appoint, a company acceptable to such Control Party, having a net worth of not less   than $5,000,000 and whose regular business includes equipment leasing or servicing, as the   successor to the Manager of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the   Manager with respect to such Series under the Management Agreement and the other Transaction   Documents to which it is a party.  In no event shall either the Indenture Trustee or the Transition                                          18   737897515 20654080 

 

     Agent be required to act as Manager or Back-up Manager hereunder.  The Manager shall continue   to fulfill its duties and responsibilities as Manager until such time as its replacement is appointed   and has assumed such responsibilities.  The replaced Manager shall not be entitled to receive any  compensation for any period after the effective date of such replacement, but shall be entitled to  receive compensation for services rendered through the effective date of such replacement except  to the extent that it is unable to fulfill such duties pending the appointment of a replacement  Manager.  In connection with the appointment of a replacement Manager for any Series, the  Indenture Trustee or Transition Agent may, with the written consent of the applicable Control  Party, make such arrangements for the compensation of such replacement Manager out of available  funds for such Series as the Indenture Trustee, such Control Party and such replacement Manager  shall agree; provided, however, that no such revised compensation shall be in excess of the  Management Fees permitted the Manager under the Management Agreement and the related  Supplement and the arrangement for reimbursement of expenses shall be no more favorable than  that set forth in the Management Agreement unless  such Control Party shall approve such higher  amounts; provided, further, that in no event shall any of the Indenture Trustee or the Transition  Agent be liable to any replacement Manager for the Management Fees or any additional amounts  (including expenses and indemnifications) payable to such replacement Manager, either pursuant  to the Management Agreement or otherwise.  The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take  such action, consistent with the Management Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any   such succession including exercising the power of attorney granted by the Manager pursuant to   Section 10.4 of the Management Agreement.                (b)   If a Manager Termination Notice has been delivered with respect to a Series   in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement, the Indenture Trustee may and shall,   if directed in writing by the Control Party for such Series, after first notifying the Issuer of its   intention to do so, notify Account Debtors of the Issuer (and the Issuer hereby agrees to provide   the Indenture Trustee all commercially reasonable information to identify and locate such Account   Debtors), parties to the Contracts of the Issuer, obligors in respect of Instruments of the Issuer and   obligors in respect of Chattel Paper of the Issuer that the Accounts and the right, title and interest   of the Issuer in and under such Contracts, Instruments, and Chattel Paper (to the extent related to   the Managed Containers) have been pledged to Indenture Trustee and that payments shall be made   directly to the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Series Account for such Series; provided that a   replacement Manager appointed pursuant to this Section 404 shall unless otherwise directed by the   Control Party for such Series exercise all of the foregoing rights, and that pending appointment of   such replacement Manager, the then current Manager shall, unless otherwise directed by the   Control Party for such Series, be permitted to exercise such rights until the replacement Manager   assumes the responsibility of the Manager.  Upon the request of the Control Party for such Series,   the Issuer shall, or shall direct Manager to, so notify such Account Debtors, parties to such   Contracts, obligors in respect of such Instruments and obligors in respect of such Chattel Paper.    If a Manager Termination Notice has been delivered in accordance with the terms of the   Management Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall at the written direction of the Control Party   for the such Series communicate with such Account Debtors, parties to such Contracts, obligors   in respect of such Instruments and obligors in respect of such Chattel Paper to verify with such   parties, the existence, amount and terms of any such Accounts, Contracts, Instruments or Chattel   Paper.                                           19   737897515 20654080 

 

                 (c)   Upon a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee obtaining actual   knowledge or the actual receipt of written notice that any repurchase obligations of the Seller under   Section 3.02 of the Contribution and Sale Agreement have arisen with respect to any Series-  Specific Collateral , the Indenture Trustee shall enforce such repurchase obligations at the written   direction of the Control Party for the applicable Series.                (d)   Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Transition Agent shall have any   obligation to take any of the actions specified in Section 404(a), Section 404(b) or Section 404(c)   unless the Indenture Trustee and/or the Transition Agent (as applicable) shall have security or   indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs and expenses which may be incurred by   the Indenture Trustee and/or the Transition Agent (as applicable) in taking such actions.          Section 405 Quiet Enjoyment.  The security interest hereby granted to the Indenture   Trustee by the Issuer is subject to the right of any lessee to the quiet enjoyment of the related   Managed Container so long as such lessee is not in default under the Lease therefor.

Each Noteholder, by acceptance of its Notes, (a) acknowledges and agrees that (except as expressly  provided herein and in a Supplement entered into in accordance with Section 1006(b) hereof) the  Noteholders of a Series or Class shall not have any interest in any Revenue Reserve Account,  Restricted Cash Account, or any other Series Account for such Series (or monies or Eligible  Investments on deposit therein) or any other Series-Specific Collateral for the benefit of any other  Series or Class and (b) ratifies and confirms the terms of this Indenture and the Transaction  Documents executed in connection with such Series.         Section 502 Determination of Requisite Global Majority.  A Requisite Global Majority   shall exist with respect to any action proposed to be taken pursuant to the terms of this Indenture   or any Supplement or any other Transaction Document if the Control Party or Control Parties  representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the sum of the Existing Commitments of all Series  of Outstanding Notes shall approve or direct such proposed action (in making such a   determination, each Control Party shall be deemed to have voted the entire Existing Commitment   of the related Series in favor of, or in opposition to, such proposed action, as the case may be).    The Indenture Trustee shall be responsible for identifying the Requisite Global Majority in   accordance with the terms of this Section 502 based on information provided by the Note Registrar.                                             20   737897515 20654080

No right or remedy conferred upon or   reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture or any  Supplement 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 811 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.  No delay or omission of the Indenture   Trustee or of any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Series-Specific   Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Series-  Specific Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.  Every right and remedy given by this Article                                          29   737897515 20654080

(a)   Upon the occurrence of a Series-Specific Event of Default, the related   Control Party shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any   Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee or exercising any trust or power   conferred on the Indenture Trustee, provided that (i) such direction shall not be in conflict with  any rule of law or with this Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 804 hereof and (ii)   the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee which is  not inconsistent with such direction.               (b)   Notwithstanding the grant of a security interest to secure the Outstanding  Obligations owing to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the related Noteholders, all rights to  direct actions or to exercise rights or remedies under this Indenture or the UCC (including these  set forth in Section 804 hereof) shall be vested solely in the related Control Party, and, by accepting  the benefits of this Indenture, each Noteholder acknowledges such statement; provided, however,  that nothing contained in this paragraph shall constitute a modification of Section 808 or Section  813(b) hereof.         Section 813 Waiver of Past Defaults.  (a)  The related Control Party may, on behalf of   all Noteholders of a Series, waive any past Event of Default for the related Series and its   consequences except an Event of Default:                      (i)   in the payment of (x) the principal balance of any Note of such         Series on the Legal Final Maturity Date of such Note, (y) interest on any Note of such         Series on any Payment Date, or (z) commitment fees in respect of any Note of such Series         on any Payment Date, all of which defaults can be waived solely by the affected         Noteholders; or                      (ii)  in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be         modified or amended without the consent of all of the Noteholders of such Series affected         thereby pursuant to Section 1002 of this Indenture.                (b)   Upon any such waiver, such Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall   be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Indenture;   provided, however, that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default   or impair any right consequent thereon.          Section 814 Undertaking for Costs.  All parties to this Indenture agree, and each   Noteholder by acceptance of a Note shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its   discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or   in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as the   Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of   such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable   attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits                                          30   737897515 20654080

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 law wherever enacted, now or at  any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants 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 Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of  every such power as though no such law had been enacted.         Section 816 Sale of Collateral.                (a)   The power to effect any sale (a “Sale”) of any portion of the Collateral   pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 804 hereof shall not be exhausted   by any one or more Sales as to any portion of the applicable Collateral remaining unsold, but shall   continue unimpaired until all of such Collateral shall have been sold or all Outstanding Obligations   with respect to the related Series shall have been paid in full.  The Indenture Trustee, at the written   direction of the applicable Control Party, may from time to time postpone any Sale by public   announcement made at the time and place of such Sale.

(c)   The Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument   of conveyance provided to it transferring its interest in any portion of any Collateral in connection   with a Sale thereof.  In addition, the Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent   and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest (subject to lessees’ rights of   quiet enjoyment) in any portion of such Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take   all action necessary to effect such Sale.

If   any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee, at the written direction   of the applicable Control Party, shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this   Indenture and the related Supplement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as   a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s   own affairs.          The Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,   reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee which are   specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provisions of this Indenture and any   applicable Supplement, shall, as expressly set forth in this Indenture or any applicable Supplement,   determine whether they are substantially in the form required by this Indenture and any applicable   Supplement; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for   investigating or re-calculating, evaluating, certifying, verifying or independently determining the   accuracy or content (including mathematical calculations) of any such resolution, certificate,   statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished pursuant to this  Indenture and any applicable Supplement.         No provision of this Indenture or any Supplement shall be construed to relieve the  Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its  own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:                     (i)   Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the cure or        waiver of any Event of Default that may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the        Indenture Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture        and any Supplements issued pursuant to the terms hereof.  The Indenture Trustee shall not        be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set        forth in this Indenture and any Supplements issued pursuant to the terms hereof, and no        implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture                                          32   737897515 20654080

No provisions of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own  funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance 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 security or indemnity against such risk or liability is not  reasonably assured to it.         Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to  the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be  subject to the provisions of this Section 901.

           Section 904 Indenture Trustee May Own Notes.  Subject to compliance with subsection   (a)(4)(i) of Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Indenture Trustee in its   individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights   it would have if it were not the Indenture Trustee.          Section 905 Indenture Trustee’s Fees and Expenses.  The fees, expenses, disbursements,   advances and indemnification amounts (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and expenses   and court costs) (collectively, “Indenture Trustee Fees”) of the Indenture Trustee shall be paid   by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of each applicable Supplement hereof.  Subject to the   provisions of Section 902(iii) hereof the Issuer shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee and each of   its officers, directors and employees for, and hold them harmless against, any loss, liability,   damage claim or expense (including reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses and court costs), in   each case incurred without willful misconduct or gross negligence or, with respect to Fund Control   Matters, negligence on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or   administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending itself both individually   and in its representative capacity against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or   performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder and those incurred in connection with any   action, claim or suit brought to enforce the Indenture Trustee’s right to indemnification   (“Indenture Trustee Indemnified Amounts”).

When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an   Event of Default related to a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Issuer, the expenses and the   compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any   Insolvency Law.          Section 906 Eligibility Requirements for the Indenture Trustee.  The Indenture Trustee   hereunder shall at all times be a national banking association or a corporation, organized and doing   business under the laws of the United States of America or any State, and authorized under such   laws to exercise corporate trust powers.

If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant  to law or to the requirements of such supervising or examining authority, then, for the purposes of  this Section 906, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its  combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.  In  case at any time the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions  of this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall resign promptly in the manner and with the effect  specified in Section 907 hereof.                                          37   737897515 20654080 

 

           Section 907 Resignation and Removal of the Indenture Trustee.  The Indenture Trustee   may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice  thereof to the Issuer, the Manager, the Transition Agent and the Noteholders.  Upon receiving such  notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument,  in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Indenture Trustee,  the Transition Agent and one copy to the successor Indenture Trustee.  If no successor Indenture  Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the  giving of such notice of resignation, the Requisite Global Majority may appoint a successor  Indenture Trustee or, if it does not do so within 30 days thereafter, the resigning Indenture Trustee  may petition at the expense of the Issuer any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment  of a successor Indenture Trustee, which successor Indenture Trustee shall meet the eligibility  standards set forth in Section 906.         If at any time the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the  provisions of Section 906 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer,  or if at any time the Indenture Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a  bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Indenture Trustee or of its property shall be appointed,  or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Indenture Trustee or of its property or  affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Issuer shall remove  the Indenture Trustee and appoint a successor Indenture Trustee by written instrument, in  duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee so removed  and one copy to the successor Indenture Trustee.  If no successor Indenture Trustee shall have been  so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after such removal, the Requisite  Global Majority may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee or, if it does not do so within 30 days  after such resignation or removal, the departing Indenture Trustee may petition at the expense of  the Issuer any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee,  which successor Indenture Trustee shall meet the eligibility standards set forth in Section 906.         In addition, the Issuer may, with the consent of the Requisite Global Majority, remove the  Indenture Trustee for cause and appoint a successor Indenture Trustee with prior written notice by  written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Indenture  Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Indenture Trustee.         Any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and appointment of a successor  Indenture Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon  acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee as provided in Section 908 hereof.         Section 908 Successor Indenture Trustee.  Any successor Indenture Trustee appointed   as provided in Section 907 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer and to its   predecessor Indenture Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon   the resignation or removal of the predecessor Indenture Trustee shall become effective and such   successor Indenture Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully   vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like   effect as if originally named as the Indenture Trustee herein.  The predecessor Indenture Trustee   shall upon payment of all charges due it, its agents and counsel deliver to the successor Indenture   Trustee all documents relating to the Collateral, if any, delivered to it, together with any amount   remaining in each Revenue Reserve Account, each Restricted Cash Account and any other Series                                          38   737897515 20654080 

 

     Accounts for such Series.  In addition, the predecessor Indenture Trustee and, upon request of the   successor Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such   other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in   the successor Indenture Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.          No successor Indenture Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless   at the time of such acceptance such successor Indenture Trustee shall be eligible under the  provisions of Section 906 hereof and shall be acceptable to the Requisite Global Majority.          Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Indenture Trustee as provided in this   Section, the Issuer shall mail notice of the succession of such Indenture Trustee hereunder to all   Noteholders at their addresses as shown in the registration books maintained by the Indenture   Trustee.  If the Issuer fails to mail such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment   by the successor Indenture Trustee, the successor Indenture Trustee shall cause such notice to be   mailed at the expense of the Issuer.          Section 909 Merger or Consolidation of the Indenture Trustee.  Any corporation into   which the Indenture Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or  any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Indenture  Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Indenture Trustee,  shall be the successor of the Indenture Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be  eligible under the provisions of Section 906 hereof, without the execution or filing of any paper or  any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary   notwithstanding.          Section 910 Separate Indenture Trustees, Co-Indenture Trustees and Custodians.  If the   Indenture Trustee is not capable of acting for jurisdictional purposes, it shall have the power from   time to time to appoint one or more Persons or corporations to act either as co-trustees jointly with   the Indenture Trustee, or as separate trustees, or as custodians, for the purpose of holding title to,   foreclosing or otherwise taking action with respect to any of the Collateral, when such separate   trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable under any Applicable Laws or for the purpose of   otherwise conforming to any legal requirement, restriction or condition in any applicable   jurisdiction.  The separate trustees, co-trustees, or custodians so appointed shall be trustees, co-  trustees, or custodians for the benefit of all Noteholders and shall have such powers, rights and   remedies as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment; provided, however, that no such   appointment shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute the appointee an agent of the Indenture Trustee   and the Indenture Trustee shall not have any liability relating to such appointment.  The Issuer   shall join in any such appointment, but such joining shall not be necessary for the effectiveness of   such appointment.          Every separate trustee, co-trustee and custodian shall, to the extent permitted by law, be   appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:                      (i)   all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the         Indenture Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody and payment of moneys shall be         exercised solely by the Indenture Trustee;                                           39   737897515 20654080 

 

                     (ii)  all other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed        upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed        by the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian jointly, except       to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are       to be performed the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such       act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding       of title to the Collateral or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised       and performed by such separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian;                    (iii) no trustee, co-trustee, separate trustee or custodian hereunder shall        be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee, co-trustee,        separate trustee or custodian hereunder; and                     (iv)  the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the        resignation of or remove any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian so appointed by it or        them if such resignation or removal does not violate the other terms of this Indenture.         Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have  been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each  of them.  Every instrument appointing any separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian shall refer to  this Indenture and the conditions of this Article.  Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its  acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its  instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be  provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every  provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording  protection to, the Indenture Trustee.  Every such instrument shall be furnished to the Indenture  Trustee.         Any separate trustee, co-trustees, or custodian may, at any time, constitute the Indenture  Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by  law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name.  If any  separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be  removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by  the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or  successor trustee or custodian.         No separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall be required to meet the terms  of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 906 hereof and no notice to Noteholders of the  appointment thereof shall be required under Section 908 hereof.         The Indenture Trustee agrees to instruct the co-trustees, if any, to the extent necessary to  fulfill the Indenture Trustee’s obligations hereunder.         Section 911 Representations and Warranties.  The Indenture Trustee hereby represents  and warrants as of each Series Issuance Date of each Series that:               (a)   Organization and Good Standing.  The Indenture Trustee is a national  banking association duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the                                         40  737897515 20654080 

 

     United States, and has the power to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is   presently engaged;                (b)   Authorization.  The Indenture Trustee has the power, authority and legal   right to execute, deliver and perform this Indenture and each Supplement and to authenticate the   Notes, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Indenture and each Supplement and the   authentication of the Notes has been duly authorized by the Indenture Trustee by all necessary   corporate action;                (c)   Binding Obligations.  This Indenture and each Supplement, assuming due   authorization, execution and delivery by the Issuer, constitutes the legal, valid and binding   obligations of the Indenture Trustee, enforceable against the Indenture Trustee in accordance with   its terms, except that (i) such enforcement may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,   reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws (whether statutory, regulatory or decisional) now   or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and the rights of trust companies in   particular and (ii) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable   relief may be subject to certain equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which   any Proceeding therefor may be brought, whether in a Proceeding at law or in equity;                (d)   No Violation.  The performance by the Indenture Trustee of its obligations   under this Indenture and each Supplement will not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the   terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) a default under,   the charter documents or bylaws of the Indenture Trustee;                (e)   No Proceedings.  There are no Proceedings or investigations to which the   Indenture Trustee is a party pending, or, to the knowledge of the Indenture Trustee without   independent investigation, threatened, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or   other tribunal or Governmental Authority (A) asserting the invalidity of this Indenture or the Notes,  (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions  contemplated by this Indenture or (C) seeking any determination or ruling that would materially  and adversely affect the performance by the Indenture Trustee of its obligations under, or the  validity or enforceability of, this Indenture or the Notes; and               (f)   Approvals.  Neither the execution or delivery by the Indenture Trustee of   this Indenture nor the consummation of the transactions by the Indenture Trustee contemplated   hereby requires the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with or the   taking of any other action with respect to any Governmental Authority under any existing federal   or State of New York or State of Delaware law governing the banking or trust powers of the   Indenture Trustee.          Section 912 Indenture Trustee Offices.  The Indenture Trustee shall maintain in the State   of Delaware an office or offices or agency or agencies where Notes may be surrendered for   registration of transfer or exchange, which office shall initially be located at the Corporate Trust   Office, and shall promptly notify the Issuer, the Manager and the Noteholders of any change of   such location.                                           41   737897515 20654080 

 

           Section 913 Notice of Various Events.

For all purposes of this Indenture, in the absence of actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of   the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge of any   Event of Default or Early Amortization Event unless notified in writing thereof by the Issuer, the   Seller, the Manager, the Transition Agent or any Noteholder.          Section 914 Notices.  Any application by the Indenture Trustee for written instructions   from the Issuer may, at the option of the Indenture Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed   to be taken or omitted by the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after   which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective.  The Indenture Trustee shall   not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Indenture Trustee in accordance with a   proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date   shall not be less than five (5) Business Days after the date any officer of the limited liability   company manager of the Issuer actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall   have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective   date in the case of an omission), the Indenture Trustee shall have received written instructions in   response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.                                     ARTICLE X                                                                     SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES          Section 1001 Supplemental Indentures Not Creating a New Series Without Consent of   Noteholders.

(b)   Without the consent of the Noteholders or any other Person, the Issuer and  the Indenture Trustee may also enter into one or more Supplements to this Indenture for the  purpose of conforming to or being consistent with or in furtherance of any of the statements made  with respect to any of the Notes or any of the other Transaction Documents in the offering  memorandum for any Series of Notes, or to correct or supplement any provision in this Indenture  which may be inconsistent with the provisions of any other Transaction Document.                                          42   737897515 20654080

(b)   On or before the Series Issuance Date relating to any Series, the parties   hereto will execute and deliver a Supplement which will specify the Principal Terms of such Series.    The terms of such Supplement may modify or amend the terms of this Indenture solely as applied   to such Series.

                                                            ANNEX 1 TO EXHIBIT A           QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER STATUS UNDER SEC RULE 144A                 [For Purchasers Other Than Registered Investment Companies]          The undersigned hereby certifies as follows to the parties identified in Section 2 of the   attached Investment Letter:          1.    As indicated below, the undersigned is the President, Chief Financial Officer,   Senior Vice President or other senior executive officer of the Purchaser.          2.   The Purchaser is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule   144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Rule 144A”) because (i) the Purchaser owned and/or   invested on a discretionary basis $______1 in securities (except for the excluded  securities referred   to in paragraph 3 below) as of the end of the Purchaser’s most recent fiscal year (such amount   being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A) and (ii) the Purchaser satisfies the criteria in the   category marked below.    ____  Corporation. etc.  The Purchaser is a corporation (other than a bank, savings and loan         association or similar institution), a Massachusetts or similar business trust, a partnership,         or a charitable organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.    ____  Bank.

The Purchaser is a dealer registered pursuant to Section 15 of the Securities         Exchange Act of 1934.    ____  Insurance Company.  The Purchaser is organized as an insurance company whose primary         and predominant business activity is the writing of insurance or the reinsuring of risks                                                        1 Buyer must own and/or invest on a discretionary basis at least $100,000,000 in securities unless Buyer is a dealer  registered pursuant to Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and, in that case, Buyer must own and/or  invest on a discretionary basis at least $10,000,000 in securities.                                   Exhibit A – Page 4   737897515 20654080 

 

           underwritten by insurance companies, and which is subject to supervision by the insurance,         commissioner or a similar official or agency of a State, territory or the District of Columbia.    ____  State or Local Plan.  The Purchaser is a plan established and maintained by a State, its         political subdivisions, or any agency or instrumentality of the State or its political         subdivisions, for the benefit of its employees.    ____  ERISA Plan.

The Purchaser is an investment advisor registered under the         Investment Advisers Act of 1940.          3.    The term “securities” as used herein does not include (i) securities of issuers that   are affiliated with the Purchaser, (ii) securities that are part of an unsold allotment to or   subscription by the Purchaser, if the Purchaser is a dealer, (iii) securities issued or guaranteed by   the U.S. or any instrumentality thereof, (iv) bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (v) loan   participations, (vi) repurchase agreements, (vii) securities owned but subject to a repurchase   agreement and (viii) currency, interest rate and commodity swaps.          4.    For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and/or   invested on a discretionary basis by the Purchaser, the Purchaser used the cost of such securities   to the Purchaser (except as provided in Rule 144A(a)(3)) and did not include any of the securities   referred to in the preceding paragraph.  Further, in determining such aggregate amount, the   Purchaser may have included securities owned by subsidiaries of the Purchaser, but only if such   subsidiaries are consolidated with the Purchaser in its financial Statements prepared in accordance   with generally accepted accounting principles and if the investments of such subsidiaries are   managed under the Purchaser’s direction.  However, such securities were not included if the   Purchaser is a majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Purchaser is   not itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.          5.    The Purchaser acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144A and understands   that the seller to it and other parties related to the Notes are relying and will continue to rely on the   Statements made herein because one or more sales to the Purchaser may be in reliance on Rule   144A.                 Will the Purchaser be purchasing the   Yes    No    Note only for Purchaser’s own account?            6.    If the answer to the foregoing question is “no”, the Purchaser agrees that, in   connection with, any purchase of securities sold to the Purchaser for the account of a third party   (including any separate account) in reliance on Rule 144A, the Purchaser will only purchase for   the account of a third party that at the time is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning   of Rule 144A.  In addition, the Purchaser agrees that the Purchaser will not purchase securities for  a third party unless the Purchaser has obtained a certificate from such third party substantially  identical to this certification or taken other appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to                                    Exhibit A – Page 5   737897515 20654080 

 

   conclude that such third party independently meets the definition of “qualified institutional buyer”  set forth in Rule 144A.         7.    The Purchaser will notify each of the parties to which this certification is made of  any changes in the information and conclusions herein.  Until such notice is given, the Purchaser’s  purchase of the Note will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such  purchase.                                       _________________________________________                                      Print Name of Purchaser                                       By:    ___________________________________                                            Name:                                             Title:                                       Date: ____________________________________                                       Exhibit A – Page 6  737897515 20654080

The term “Family of Investment Companies” as used herein means two or more   registered investment companies (or series thereof), except for a unit investment trust whose assets   consist solely of shares on one or more registered investment companies that have the same   investment adviser or investment advisers that are affiliated (by virtue of being majority owned   subsidiaries of the same parent or because one investment adviser is a majority owned subsidiary  of the other), or, in the case of unit investment trusts, the same depositor.         4.     The term “securities” as used herein does not include (i) securities of issuers that  are affiliated with the Purchaser or are part of the Purchaser’s Family of Investment Companies,   (ii) securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. or any instrumentality thereof, (iii) bank deposit   notes and certificates of deposit, (iv) loan participations, (v) repurchase agreements, (vi) securities   owned but subject to a repurchase agreement and (vii) currency, interest rate and commodity   swaps.          5.    The Purchaser acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144A and understands   that the seller to it and the other parties related to the Note are relying and will continue to rely on                                   Exhibit A – Page 7   737897515 20654080

The undersigned will notify the parties addressed the Purchaser Letter to which this   certification relates of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.  Until such notice,  the Purchaser’s purchase of the Note will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification by the  undersigned as of the date of such purchase.                                        _________________________________________                                       Print Name of Purchaser or Adviser                                        By: ____________________________________                                             Name:                                             Title:                                        IF AN ADVISER:                                        __________________________________________                                       Print Name of Purchaser                                        Date: ____________________________________                                        Exhibit A – Page 8   737897515 20654080
