Certificates Issuable in Classes; Distributions of Principal and Interest; Authorized Denominations The aggregate principal amount of the Certificates that may be authenticated and delivered under this Agreement is limited to the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, as specified in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement, except for Certificates authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Certificates pursuant to Section 5.03. Such aggregate principal amount shall be allocated among one or more Classes having designations, types of interests, initial per annum Certificate Interest Rates, initial Class Principal Balances and Final Maturity Dates as specified in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement. The aggregate Percentage Interest of each Class of Certificates of which the Class Principal Balance equals zero as of the Cut-Off Date that may be authenticated and delivered under this Agreement is limited to 100%. Certificates shall be issued in Authorized Denominations.
Distributions and Interest Amount (i) Interest Rate. "Interest Rate" for any day means, the Federal Funds Overnight Rate. For the purposes hereof, "Federal Funds Overnight Rate" means, for any day, an interest rate per annum equal to the rate published as the Federal Funds Effective Rate that appears on Telerate Page 118 for such day.
Elimination of Series At any time that there are no Shares outstanding of a Series (or class), the Trustees may abolish such Series (or class).
Designation Amount and Issue of Notes The Notes shall be designated as “Tranche A Zero Coupon Guaranteed Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes”. Notes not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000 (except pursuant to Sections 2.05 and 2.06 hereof) upon the execution of this Indenture, or from time to time thereafter, may be executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Notes to or upon the written order of the Company, signed by its Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President or any Vice President (whether or not designated by a number or numbers or word or words added before or after the title “Vice President”), the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or Assistant Secretary, without any further action by the Company hereunder.
Capitalized Interest Account (a) Unless all Subsequent Mortgage Loans are purchased by the Trust on the Closing Date, or unless a Capitalized Interest Account is not specified in Article I, the Trustee shall establish and maintain the Capitalized Interest Account. On the Closing Date, the Trustee will deposit the Capitalized Interest Account Deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account or, if all Subsequent Mortgage Loans are purchased on the Closing Date, in the Certificate Account. The Trustee shall hold the Capitalized Interest Account Deposit for the benefit of the Offered Certificateholders.
(b) The Capitalized Interest Account will be part of the Trust but not part of any REMIC Pool. Amounts held in the Capitalized Interest Account prior to the first Deposit Date shall be invested in Permitted Investments of the type specified in clause (f) of the definition of Permitted Investments, which Permitted Investments shall mature no later than the Deposit Date immediately following the end of the Funding Period. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses on amounts invested in accordance with the provisions hereof. All interest and other investment earnings on amounts held in the Capitalized Interest Account (and any other amounts remaining on deposit therein in excess of the amounts to be so withdrawn and deposited into the Certificate Account) shall be paid or released by the Trustee to the Seller on the Distribution Date immediately following the end of the Funding Period and taxed to the Seller. For federal and state income tax purposes the Seller shall be deemed to be the owner of the Capitalized Interest Account. Any losses realized in connection with any such investment shall be for the account of the Seller and the Seller shall deposit the amount of such loss (to the extent not offset by income from other investments) in the Capitalized Interest Account immediately upon the realization of such loss. All amounts earned on deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account shall be taxed to the Seller.
(c) On each Prefunding Distribution Date, the Trustee shall transfer from the Capitalized Interest Account to the Certificate Account the Capitalized Interest Requirement, if any, for such Distribution Date; provided, however, that on the final Subsequent Transfer Date the Trustee shall (i) transfer the Capitalized Interest Requirement, if any, for the following Distribution Date from the Capitalized Interest Account to the Certificate Account, (ii) remit the balance of the funds on deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account to the Seller and (iii) close the Capitalized Interest Account.
Designation of Additional Amounts to Be Included in the Excess Spread Amount for the DiscoverSeries Notes At any time that any outstanding Series of certificates issued by the Master Trust provides that the Series Principal Collections allocated to such Series will be deposited into the Group Finance Charge Collections Reallocation Account for the Master Trust to the extent necessary for application to cover shortfalls for other Series issued by the Master Trust, an amount equal to (x) all Series Principal Collections allocated to such Series, multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the Nominal Liquidation Amounts for each outstanding Tranche of the DiscoverSeries Notes (including these notes) and the denominator of which is (i) the Aggregate Investor Interest for the Master Trust minus (ii) the sum of the Series Investor Interests for all such Series that provide that the Series Principal Collections allocated to such Series will be so deposited, is hereby designated to be included in the Excess Spread Amount and shall be treated as Series Finance Charge Amounts for the DiscoverSeries.
Regular Floating Rate Note Unless this Note is specified on the face hereof as a Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note, this Note (a “Regular Floating Rate Note”) will bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases: (1) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any; and/or (2) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any. Commencing on the first Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Regular Floating Rate Note is payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate.
Calculation of Principal Amount of Notes The aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at any date of determination, shall be the principal amount of the Notes at such date of determination. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Notes, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Notes, the holders of which have so consented, by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Notes then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, and Section 13.06 of this Indenture. Any calculation of the Applicable Premium made pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be made by the Company and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate.
Floating Rate Notes If this Note is specified on the face hereof as a “Floating Rate Note”:
Date and Denomination of Notes; Payments of Interest and Defaulted Amounts (a) The Notes shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and multiples thereof. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest from the date specified on the face of such Note. Accrued interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and, for partial months, on the basis of the number of days actually elapsed in a 30-day month.
(b) The Person in whose name any Note (or its Predecessor Note) is registered on the Note Register at the close of business on any Regular Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date. The principal amount of any Note (x) in the case of any Physical Note, shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company designated by the Company for such purposes in the contiguous United States of America, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office and (y) in the case of any Global Note, shall be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. The Company shall pay (or cause the Paying Agent to pay to the extent funded by the Company) interest (i) on any Physical Notes (A) to Holders holding Physical Notes having an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or less, by check mailed to the Holders of these Notes at their address as it appears in the Note Register and (B) to Holders holding Physical Notes having an aggregate principal amount of more than $5,000,000, either by check mailed to each such Holder or, upon application by such a Holder to the Note Registrar (containing the requisite information for the Trustee or Paying Agent to make such wire transfer) not later than the relevant Regular Record Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to that Holder’s account within the United States of America, which application shall remain in effect until the Holder notifies, in writing, the Note Registrar to the contrary or (ii) on any Global Note by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.
(c) Any Defaulted Amounts shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant payment date but shall accrue interest per annum at the rate borne by the Notes from, and including, such relevant payment date, and such Defaulted Amounts together with such interest thereon shall be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below:
(i) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Amounts to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Amounts, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of the Defaulted Amounts proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment (which shall be not less than 25 days after the receipt by the Trustee of such notice, unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Amounts or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Amounts as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Company shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Amounts which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such special record date and the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and the special record date therefor to be delivered to each Holder at its address as it appears in the Note Register, or by electronic means to the Depositary in the case of Global Notes, not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and the special record date therefor having been so delivered, such Defaulted Amounts shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (ii) of this Section 2.03(c). The Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever for the calculation of the Defaulted Amounts.
(ii) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Amounts in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, if, after written notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
