Acts of Noteholders (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Action” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.
(c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.
Action by or Consent of Noteholders and Certificateholder Whenever any provision of this Agreement refers to action to be taken, or consented to, by the Noteholders or the Certificateholder, such provision shall be deemed to refer to the Noteholders or the Certificateholder, as the case may be, of record as of the Record Date immediately preceding the date on which such action is to be taken, or consent given, by Noteholders or the Certificateholder. Solely for the purposes of any action to be taken, or consented to, by Noteholders or the Certificateholder, any Note or the Certificate registered in the name of the Seller or any Affiliate thereof shall be deemed not to be outstanding; provided, however, that, solely for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent is entitled to rely upon any such action or consent, only Notes or the Certificate which the Owner Trustee or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent, respectively, has actual knowledge is so owned shall be so disregarded.
Payments to Noteholders 8.1 Payments in respect of Current Issuer Notes: Each Paying Agent acting through its Specified Office shall make payments of interest and principal in respect of the Current Issuer Notes in accordance with the Current Issuer Conditions and so long as the Current Issuer Notes are evidenced by Global Note Certificates, the terms thereof, provided however, that:
(a) no Paying Agent will make any payment of interest or principal in respect of any class of the Current Issuer Notes in an amount which is greater than the amount of interest or principal payable in accordance with the Current Issuer Conditions in respect of such class of Current Issuer Notes and notified to the Paying Agents in accordance with Clause 7.4 (Confirmation of Amounts Payable in respect of the Current Issuer Notes);
(b) whilst the Current Issuer Notes of any class continue to be represented by Global Note Certificates, all payments of principal or interest (as the case may be) due in respect of such Current Issuer Notes will be payable to, or to the order of, DTC or its nominee or Euroclear, Clearstream Luxembourg or their nominee;
(c) if any Note Certificate is presented or surrendered for payment to any Paying Agent and such Paying Agent has delivered a replacement therefor or has been notified that the same has been replaced, such Paying Agent shall as soon as is reasonably practicable notify the Current Issuer in writing of such presentation or surrender and shall not make payment against the same until it is so instructed by the Current Issuer and has received the amount to be so paid;
(d) each Paying Agent shall cancel each Note Certificate against presentation and surrender of which it has made full payment and shall deliver each such Note Certificate so cancelled by it to the Registrar;
(e) all payments in respect of the Current Issuer Notes will be distributed without deduction or withholding for any taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges of whatever nature except as and then only to the extent required by applicable law, in which case each Paying Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding from any payment which it makes hereunder. If any such deduction or withholding is required to be made, then neither the Current Issuer nor any other person will be obliged to pay any additional amounts in respect thereof; and
(f) a Paying Agent shall not be obliged (but shall be entitled) to make payments of principal or interest if it has not received the full amount of any payment due to it under Clause 7 (Payments to the Paying Agents).
Notices to Noteholders Notices to a Noteholder will be considered received by the Noteholder:
(i) for Definitive Notes, for overnight mail, on delivery or, for registered first class mail, postage prepaid, three days after deposit in the mail properly addressed to the Noteholder at its address in the Note Register; and
(ii) for Book-Entry Notes, when delivered under the procedures of the Clearing Agency, whether or not the Noteholder actually receives the notice.
