Registration of Certificates; Transfer and Exchange of Certificates (a) The Indenture Trustee initially shall be the registrar (the “Certificate Registrar”) for the purpose of registering Certificates and Transfers of Certificates as herein provided. The Certificate Registrar shall cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.8, a register (the “Certificate Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of Certificates and the registration of Transfers of Certificates. Upon any resignation of any Certificate Registrar, the Owner Trustee shall, upon receipt of written instructions from the Depositor, promptly appoint a successor. (b) The Certificates may not be acquired with the plan assets of any (i) “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) “plan” described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, including individual retirement accounts and Xxxxx plans, that is subject to the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code, (iii) entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulation by reason of an employee benefit plan’s or plan’s investment in such entity or (iv) employee benefit plan or arrangement not subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (each of (i) through (iv), a “Plan”), other than any Plan that is not subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and whose acquisition of a Certificate would not constitute or result in a violation of any applicable law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”). Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate, shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such Certificateholder is either (i) not a Plan and is not a Person acting on behalf of a Plan or a Person using the assets of a Plan to effect the transfer of such Certificate, or (ii) a Plan that is not subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and whose acquisition of a Certificate would not constitute or result in a violation under any Similar Law. Any person who is not an affiliate of the Seller and acquires more than 49.9% of the Certificates will be deemed to represent that it is not a “party in interest” (within the meaning of ERISA) or a “disqualified person” (within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code) with respect to any Plan, other than a Plan that it sponsors for the benefit of its employees, and that no Plan with respect to which it is a party in interest or disqualified person has or will acquire any interest in the Notes. To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), neither the Owner Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar shall be under any liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any Certificate that is in fact not permitted or for taking any other action with respect to such Certificate under the provisions of this Trust Agreement so long as such transfer was registered by the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar in accordance with this Trust Agreement. (c) Upon surrender for registration of Transfer of any Certificate at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar to be maintained as provided in Section 3.8, and upon compliance with any provisions of this Trust Agreement relating to such Transfer, the Owner Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust and the Owner Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Certificateholder making such surrender, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in any authorized denomination evidencing the same aggregate interest in the Trust. Each Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of Transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer and accompanied by IRS Form X-0XXX-X, X-0XXX or W-9, as applicable, and such other documentation as may be reasonably required by the Owner Trustee in order to comply with Applicable Anti-Money Laundering Law, each in a form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, duly executed by the Certificateholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of Transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary practice. No service charge shall be made for any registration of Transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any Transfer or exchange of Certificates. Further, in the event of any subsequent transfer of a Certificate (or any interest therein), each owner of a beneficial interest shall comply with Section 1446(f) of the Code (including with respect to deducting and withholding from the purchase price paid in respect of such Certificate unless the transferee obtained a certificate providing for an exemption from such withholding). (d) As a condition to the registration of any Transfer of any Certificate: (i) the prospective transferee shall be required to represent in writing to the Owner Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar that it has neither acquired nor will it transfer any Certificate it purchases (or any interest therein) or cause any such Certificate (or any interest therein) to be marketed on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code, including, without limitation, an over-the-counter-market or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations; (ii) the prospective transferee shall be required to represent in writing to the Owner Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar that it either (A) is not, and will not become, a partnership, Subchapter S corporation or grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes or (B) is such an entity, but none of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any of the interests in such transferee have allowed or caused, or will allow or cause, 50% or more (or such other percentage as the transferor may establish prior to the time of such proposed transfer) of the value of such interests to be attributable to such transferee’s ownership of Certificates; (iii) the prospective transferee shall be required to represent in writing to the Owner Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar that it is either (i) not a Plan and is not a Person acting on behalf of a Plan or a Person using the assets of a Plan to effect the transfer of such Certificate, or (ii) a Plan that is not subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and whose acquisition of a Certificate would not constitute or result in a violation under any Similar Law; (iv) the Certificateholder provides to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor an opinion of independent counsel that such action will not cause the Issuer to be treated as an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes; (v) such transferee or assignee agrees to take positions for tax purposes consistent with the tax positions agreed to be taken by the Certificateholder; and (vi) in connection with any transfer of less than all of the interests in the Certificates, the transferor and transferee shall specify the respective interests in the Certificates to be held by the transferor and transferee, which interests may be determined by a formula or on any other basis agreed by the transferor and transferee. No Certificate (other than the Certificates issued to and held by the Depositor) may be subdivided upon transfer or exchange in a manner such that the resulting Certificate represents less than a 2.50% fractional undivided interest in the Issuer (or such other amount as the Depositor may determine in order to prevent the Issuer from being treated as a “publicly traded partnership” under Section 7704 of the Code). (e) No Certificateholder shall Transfer any Certificate initially held by it unless such Transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement or otherwise in accordance with the requirements under the Securities Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable State securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such registration or qualification. If a Transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and under applicable State securities laws, (i) the Certificate Registrar may require an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor substantially to the effect that such Transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act and applicable State securities laws and describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor or the Owner Trustee, and (ii) the Certificate Registrar may require the transferee to execute a certification acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor setting forth the facts surrounding such Transfer. (f) No Transfer of any Certificate shall be permitted, recognized or recorded unless the Depositor has consented in writing to such Transfer, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Depositor; provided, however, that no such consent of the Depositor shall be required where the proposed transferee is, and at the time of such Transfer will be, a Certificateholder. (g) During the period described in 17 CFR Part 246.12(f)(1), no Certificateholder may Transfer any Certificate until the expiration of such period; provided, that, during such period, such Certificateholder may Transfer any Certificate to CarMax or any “majority-owned affiliate” (as such term is defined in 17 CFR Part 246.2) of CarMax in accordance with the restrictions contained in 17 CFR Part 246.12. Any purported transfer of a Certificate not in accordance with this Section 3.4(g) shall be null and void and shall not be given effect for any purpose whatsoever.
Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock Exchange of Certificates Equity-Based Awards
Exchange of Certificates (a) At the Closing, certificates (the “Certificates”) representing all of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be surrendered for cancellation and termination in the Merger. At the Effective Time, each Certificate shall be canceled in exchange for the amount of Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.2(a). After payment of all fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.5 from the Cash Consideration portion of the Merger Consideration, the Merger Consideration shall be distributed as follows to the extent Certificates have been surrendered, at Closing (or thereafter upon surrender of Certificates): (i) Parent shall cause the remaining Cash Consideration to be wired to an account designated by the Sole Stockholder, less $822,975 which shall be placed in escrow to satisfy the obligations pursuant to Article XII hereof (the “Cash Escrow”), and (ii) Parent shall cause the Equity Consideration to be distributed to the Sole Stockholder in the amount set forth on Schedule 2.2, less that number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued as part of the Equity Consideration as shall be obtained by dividing $425,000 by the Closing Market Price which shall be placed in escrow to satisfy the obligations pursuant to Article XII hereof (the “Equity Escrow”). Until surrendered, each outstanding Certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Common Stock shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of the amount of cash and shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Common Stock, but shall, have no other rights. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall cease to have any rights in respect of such shares and their rights shall be solely in respect of the amount of cash and shares of Parent Common Stock into which such shares of Common Stock have been converted. (b) If any cash is to be paid or any shares of Parent Common Stock are to be issued in the name of a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate(s) surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition to the payment of such cash or the issuance of such shares that (i) the Certificate(s) so surrendered shall be transferable, and shall be properly assigned, endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, (ii) such transfer shall otherwise be proper and (iii) the person requesting such transfer shall pay Parent, or its exchange agent, any transfer or other taxes payable by reason of the foregoing or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such taxes have been paid or are not required to be paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent nor the Company shall be liable to a holder of shares of Common Stock for cash paid to such holder pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(a) of this Agreement that are delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. (c) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the cash or shares issuable in exchange therefor pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(a) of this Agreement. The Board of Directors of Parent may in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to provide to Parent an indemnity agreement against any claim that may be made against Parent with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Preferred Securities Certificates The Securities Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.08, a Securities Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Securities Registrar shall provide for the registration of Preferred Securities Certificates and the Common Securities Certificates (subject to Section 5.10 in the case of the Common Securities Certificates) and registration of transfers and exchanges of Preferred Securities Certificates as herein provided. The Property Trustee shall be the initial Securities Registrar. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Preferred Securities Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.08, the Administrative Trustees shall execute, authenticate and deliver in the name of the designated transferee or transferees one or more new Preferred Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount dated the date of authentication by the Administrative Trustee or Trustees. The Securities Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of any Preferred Securities that have been called for redemption. At the option of a Holder, Preferred Securities Certificates may be exchanged for other Preferred Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of the same class and of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount upon surrender of the Preferred Securities Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.08. Every Preferred Securities Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustees and the Securities Registrar duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Preferred Securities Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Securities Registrar in accordance with its customary practice. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Preferred Securities Certificates, but the Securities Registrar or the Administrative Trustees may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Preferred Securities Certificates.
Registration of Certificates (a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06 a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee shall act as, or shall appoint, a Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.

At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized Denominations of a like aggregate principal portion or Percentage Interest and of the same Class upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, and shall date, authenticate (or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate) and deliver, the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates. All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be canceled by the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent in accordance with their standard procedures. (b) No transfer of a Class B-4, Class B-5 or Class B-6 Certificate shall be made unless the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable State securities laws are complied with, or such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from said Act or laws, (i) unless such transfer is made in reliance on Rule 144A, the Trustee or the Seller may, if such transfer is to be made within three years after the later of (i) the date of the initial sale of Certificates or (ii) the last date on which the Seller or any affiliate thereof was a Holder of the Certificates proposed to be transferred, require a Class B-4, Class B-5 or Class B-6 Certificateholder to deliver a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Seller, to the effect that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Seller or the Master Servicer, and (ii) the Trustee shall require the transferee (other than an affiliate of the Seller on the Closing Date) to execute an investment letter in the form of Exhibit J hereto certifying to the Seller and the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Seller or the Master Servicer. The Holder of a Class B-4, Class B-5 or Class B-6 Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Seller, the Master Servicer and any Paying Agent acting on behalf of the Trustee against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. Neither the Seller nor the Trustee is under an obligation to register the Class B-4, Class B-5 or Class B-6 Certificates under said Act or any other securities law. (c) No transfer of a Class B-4, Class B-5 or Class B-6 Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee and the Seller shall have received (i) a representation letter from the transferee in the form of Exhibit J hereto, to the effect that either (a) such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement subject to Title I of ERISA or Code Section 4975, or a governmental plan, as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA, subject to any federal, state or local law ("Similar Law") which is to a material extent similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (collectively, a "Plan") and is not a person acting on behalf of or using the assets of any such Plan, which representation letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Seller or the Master Servicer or (b) if such transferee is an insurance company, (A) the source of funds used to purchase the Class B-4, Class B-5 or Class B-6 Certificate is an "insurance company general account" (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTE 95-60"), 60 Fed. Reg. 35925 (July 12, 1995)), (B) there is no Plan with respect to which the amount of such general account's reserves and liabilities for the contract(s) held by or on behalf of such Plan and all other Plans maintained by the same employer (or affiliate thereof as defined in Section V(a)(1) of PTE 95-60) or by the same employee organization exceeds 10% of the total of all reserves and liabilities of such general account (as such amounts are determined under Section I(a) of PTE 95-60) at the date of acquisition and (C) the purchase and holding of such Class B-4, Class B-5 or Class B-6 Certificate is covered by Sections I and III of PTE 95-60 or (ii) in the case of any such Class B-4, Class B-5 or Class B-6 Certificate presented for registration in the name of a Plan, or a trustee of any such Plan, (A) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee and the Seller to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Class B-4, Class B-5 or Class B-6 Certificate will not result in the assets of the Trust Estate being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA, the Code or Similar Law and will not subject the Trustee, the Seller or the Master Servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Seller or the Master Servicer and (B) such other opinions of counsel, officer's certificates and agreements as the Seller or the Master Servicer may require in connection with such transfer, which opinions of counsel, officers' certificates and agreements shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Seller or the Master Servicer. The Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6 Certificates shall bear a legend referring to the foregoing restrictions contained in this paragraph. (d) No legal or beneficial interest in all or any portion of the Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate may be transferred directly or indirectly to a "disqualified organization" within the meaning of Code Section 860E(e)(5) or an agent of a disqualified organization (including a broker, nominee, or middleman), to a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of or investing the assets of a Plan (such Plan or Person, an "ERISA Prohibited Holder") or to an individual, corporation, partnership or other person unless such transferee (i) is not a Non-U.S. Person or (ii) is a Non-U.S. Person that holds the Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate in connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and has furnished the transferor and the Trustee with an effective Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 or (iii) is a Non-U.S. Person that has delivered to both the transferor and the Trustee an opinion of a nationally recognized tax counsel to the effect that the transfer of the Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate to it is in accordance with the requirements of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder and that such transfer of the Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate will not be disregarded for federal income tax purposes (any such person who is not covered by clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above being referred to herein as a "Non-permitted Foreign Holder"), and any such purported transfer shall be void and have no effect. The Trustee shall not execute, and shall not authenticate (or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate) and deliver, a new Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate in connection with any such transfer to a disqualified organization or agent thereof (including a broker, nominee or middleman), an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Non-permitted Foreign Holder, and neither the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee shall accept a surrender for transfer or registration of transfer, or register the transfer of, the Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate, unless the transferor shall have provided to the Trustee an affidavit, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit H hereto, signed by the transferee, to the effect that the transferee is not such a disqualified organization, an agent (including a broker, nominee, or middleman) for any entity as to which the transferee has not received a substantially similar affidavit, an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Non-permitted Foreign Holder, which affidavit shall contain the consent of the transferee to any such amendments of this Agreement as may be required to further effectuate the foregoing restrictions on transfer of the Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate to disqualified organizations, ERISA Prohibited Holders or Non-permitted Foreign Holders. Such affidavit shall also contain the statement of the transferee that (i) the transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come due and intends to do so in the future, (ii) the transferee understands that it may incur liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual interest, (iii) the transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the residual interest as they become due and (iv) the transferee will not transfer the Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate to any Person who does not provide an affidavit substantially in the form attached as Exhibit H hereto. The affidavit described in the preceding paragraph, if not executed in connection with the initial issuance of the Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate, shall be accompanied by a written statement in the form attached as Exhibit I hereto, signed by the transferor, to the effect that as of the time of the transfer, the transferor has no actual knowledge that the transferee is a disqualified organization, ERISA Prohibited Holder or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, and has no knowledge or reason to know that the statements made by the transferee with respect to clauses (i) and (iii) of the last sentence of the preceding paragraph are not true. The Class A-R and Class A-LR Certificates shall bear a legend referring to the foregoing restrictions contained in this paragraph and the preceding paragraph. Upon notice to the Master Servicer that any legal or beneficial interest in any portion of the Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate has been transferred, directly or indirectly, to a disqualified organization or agent thereof (including a broker, nominee, or middleman) in contravention of the foregoing restrictions, (i) such transferee shall be deemed to hold the Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate in constructive trust for the last transferor who was not a disqualified organization or agent thereof, and such transferor shall be restored as the owner of such Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate as completely as if such transfer had never occurred, provided that the Master Servicer may, but is not required to, recover any distributions made to such transferee with respect to the Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate, and (ii) the Master Servicer agrees to furnish to the Internal Revenue Service and to any transferor of the Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate or such agent (within 60 days of the request therefor by the transferor or agent) such information necessary to the application of Code Section 860E(e) as may be required by the Code, including but not limited to the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions with respect to the Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods after such transfer. At the election of the Master Servicer, the cost to the Master Servicer of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the transferor or such agent referred to above; however, the Master Servicer shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.
