• Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Trust Certificates (a) The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it shall provide for the registration of Trust Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Trust Certificates as herein provided. The Owner Trustee shall act as initial Certificate Registrar. The Owner Trustee may appoint an agent to act as Certificate Registrar. Upon any resignation of the Certificate Registrar, the Owner Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor thereto. The Trust Certificates have not been registered under the Securities Act or listed on any securities exchange. No transfer of a Trust Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and such state securities laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and state securities laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each certify to the Issuer in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in the form of a Seller Certificate and Investment Letter or a Rule 144A Letter. Except in the case of a transfer as to which the proposed transferee has provided a Rule 144A Letter, there shall also be delivered to the Issuer an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act and an Opinion of Counsel or memorandum of law that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from state securities laws, which Opinion(s) of Counsel and memorandum of law shall not be an expense of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee. The Depositor shall provide to any Certificateholder of a Trust Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Certificateholder, information regarding the Trust Certificates and the Receivables and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Trust Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. Each Certificateholder desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with federal and state securities laws. The Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall cause each Trust Certificate to contain a legend in the form set forth on the form of Trust Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A.

• 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.

• Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Equipment Notes The Mortgagee shall keep a register (the "Equipment Note Register") in which the Mortgagee shall provide for the registration of Equipment Notes and the registration of transfers of Equipment Notes. No such transfer shall be given effect unless and until registration hereunder shall have occurred. The Equipment Note Register shall be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Mortgagee. The Mortgagee is hereby appointed "Equipment Note Registrar" for the purpose of registering Equipment Notes and transfers of Equipment Notes as herein provided. A holder of any Equipment Note intending to exchange such Equipment Note shall surrender such Equipment Note to the Mortgagee at the Corporate Trust Office, together with a written request from the registered holder thereof for the issuance of a new Equipment Note, specifying, in the case of a surrender for transfer, the name and address of the new holder or holders. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Equipment Note, the Owner Trustee shall execute, and the Mortgagee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Equipment Notes of a like aggregate Original Amount and of the same series. At the option of the Note Holder, Equipment Notes may be exchanged for other Equipment Notes of any authorized denominations of a like aggregate Original Amount, upon surrender of the Equipment Notes to be exchanged to the Mortgagee at the Corporate Trust Office. Whenever any Equipment Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Owner Trustee shall execute, and the Mortgagee shall authenticate and deliver, the Equipment Notes which the Note Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Equipment Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes (whether under this Section 2.07 or under Section 2.08 hereof or otherwise under this Trust Indenture) shall be the valid obligations of the Owner Trustee evidencing the same respective obligations, and entitled to the same security and benefits under this Trust Indenture, as the Equipment Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Equipment Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer shall (if so required by the Mortgagee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Mortgagee duly executed by the Note Holder or such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Mortgagee shall require evidence satisfactory to it as to the compliance of any such transfer with the Securities Act, and the securities Laws of any applicable state. The Mortgagee shall make a notation on each new Equipment Note of the amount of all payments of Original Amount previously made on the old Equipment Note or Equipment Notes with respect to which such new Equipment Note is issued and the date to which interest on such old Equipment Note or Equipment Notes has been paid. Interest shall be deemed to have been paid on such new Equipment Note to the date on which interest shall have been paid on such old Equipment Note, and all payments of the Original Amount marked on such new Equipment Note, as provided above, shall be deemed to have been made thereon. The Owner Trustee shall not be required to exchange any surrendered Equipment Notes as provided above during the ten-day period preceding the due date of any payment on such Equipment Note. The Owner Trustee shall in all cases deem the Person in whose name any Equipment Note shall have been issued and registered as the absolute owner and holder of such Equipment Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable by the Owner Trustee with respect to such Equipment Note and for all purposes until a notice stating otherwise is received from the Mortgagee and such change is reflected on the Equipment Note Register. The Mortgagee will promptly notify the Owner Trustee and the Lessee of each registration of a transfer of an Equipment Note. Any such transferee of an Equipment Note, by its acceptance of an Equipment Note, agrees to the provisions of the Participation Agreement applicable to Note Holders, and shall be deemed to have covenanted to the parties to the Participation Agreement as to the matters covenanted by the original Loan Participant in the Participation Agreement. Subject to compliance by the Note Holder and its transferee (if any) of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.07, Mortgagee and Owner Trustee shall use all reasonable efforts to issue new Equipment Notes upon transfer or exchange within 10 Business Days of the date an Equipment Note is surrendered for transfer or exchange.

Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $500,000, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than $500,000. Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representation set forth in Section 6.3, provided that such holder may (in reliance upon information provided by the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld) make a representation to the effect that the purchase by such holder of any Note will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406(a) of ERISA.

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
