Such instrument or instruments (as the action embodies therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as an “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agents shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

Whenever such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the individual executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
(c) The ownership of Certificates (whether or not such Certificates shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone other than the Trustee) shall be proved by the Certificate Register, and none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the NIMS Insurer, or the Depositor shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Certificate shall bind every future Holder of the same Certificate and the Holder of every Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Master Servicer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificate.
Treatment of Holders of Warrant Certificates The Company, the Warrant Agent and all other persons may treat the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner thereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by the Warrants evidenced thereby, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding.

The purchase price with respect to the Applicable Certificates shall be equal to the Pool Balance of the Applicable Certificates, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such purchase, without premium (including Make-Whole Amount), but including any other amounts then due and payable to the Applicable Certificateholders under the Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any Note Document or on or in respect of the Applicable Certificates; provided, however, that no such purchase of Applicable Certificates shall be effective unless the purchaser(s) shall certify to the Trustee that contemporaneously with such purchase, such purchaser(s) is (are) purchasing, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and the Other Agreements, (A) in the case of any purchase of the Applicable Certificates pursuant to clause (i) above, all of the Applicable Certificates or (B) in the case of any purchase of Applicable Certificates and Class B Certificates pursuant to clause (ii) above, all of the Applicable Certificates and the Class B Certificates. Each payment of the purchase price of the Applicable Certificates referred to in the first sentence hereof shall be made to an account or accounts designated by the Trustee and each such purchase shall be subject to the terms of this Section 4.01. Each Applicable Certificateholder agrees by its acceptance of its Applicable Certificate that (at any time after the occurrence of a Certificate Buyout Event) it will, upon payment from such Class B Certificateholder(s), Additional Certificateholder(s) or Refinancing Certificateholder(s), as the case may be, of the purchase price set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph, (i) forthwith sell, assign, transfer and convey to the purchaser(s) thereof (without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind except for its own acts), all of the right, title, interest and obligation of such Applicable Certificateholder in the Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Deposit Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Liquidity Facility, the NPA, the Note Documents and all Applicable Certificates and Escrow Receipts held by such Applicable Certificateholder (excluding all right, title and interest under any of the foregoing to the extent such right, title or interest is with respect to an obligation not then due and payable as respects any action or inaction or state of affairs occurring prior to such sale) (and the purchaser shall assume all of such Applicable Certificateholder’s obligations under the Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Deposit Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Liquidity Facility, the NPA, the Note Documents and all such Applicable Certificates and Escrow Receipts), (ii) if such purchase occurs after a record date specified in Section 2.03 of the Escrow Agreement relating to the distribution of unused Deposits and/or accrued and unpaid interest on Deposits and prior to or on the related distribution date thereunder, forthwith turn over to the purchaser(s) of its Applicable Certificate all amounts, if any, received by it on account of such distribution, and (iii) if such purchase occurs after a Record Date relating to any distribution and prior to or on the related Distribution Date, forthwith turn over to the purchaser(s) of its Applicable Certificate all amounts, if any, received by it on account of such distribution.

All charges and expenses in connection with the issuance of any such new Applicable Certificates shall be borne by the purchaser thereof.
Delivery of Certificated Securities Collateral Each Pledgor represents and warrants that all certificates, agreements or instruments representing or evidencing the Securities Collateral in existence on the date hereof have been delivered to the Collateral Agent in suitable form for transfer by delivery or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank and that the Collateral Agent has a perfected first priority security interest therein. Each Pledgor hereby agrees that all certificates, agreements or instruments representing or evidencing Securities Collateral acquired by such Pledgor after the date hereof shall promptly (but in any event within five days after receipt thereof by such Pledgor) be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto. All certificated Securities Collateral shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall have the right, at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to endorse, assign or otherwise transfer to or to register in the name of the Collateral Agent or any of its nominees or endorse for negotiation any or all of the Securities Collateral, without any indication that such Securities Collateral is subject to the security interest hereunder. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates representing or evidencing Securities Collateral for certificates of smaller or larger denominations.
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.
Legend on Stock Certificates Certificates evidencing the Option Shares, to the extent appropriate at the time, shall have noted conspicuously on the certificates a legend intended to give all persons full notice of the existence of the conditions, restrictions, rights and obligations set forth herein and in the Plan.
Liability of the Holders of the Certificates The Holders of the Certificates shall be jointly and severally liable directly to and shall indemnify any injured party for all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses of the Trust and the Owner Trustee (including Expenses, to the extent not paid out of the Owner Trust Estate); provided, however, that the Holders of the Certificates shall not be liable for payments required to be made on the Bonds or the Certificates, or for any losses incurred by a Certificateholder in the capacity of an investor in the Certificates or a Bondholder in the capacity of an investor in the Bonds. The Holders of the Certificates shall be liable for and shall promptly pay any entity level taxes imposed on the Trust. In addition, any third party creditors of the Trust (other than in connection with the obligations described in the second preceding sentence for which the Holders of the Certificates shall not be liable) shall be deemed third party beneficiaries of this paragraph. The obligations of the Holders of the Certificates under this paragraph shall be evidenced by the Certificates.
Additional Rights of Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities In addition to the rights provided to Holders of Notes under the Indenture, Holders of Transferred Restricted Securities shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of the date of the Indenture, between the Company and the party named on the signature pages thereof (the "Registration Rights Agreement").
