Reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission (a) The Trustee and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with the Trust's satisfying its reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee shall prepare on behalf of the Trust any monthly Current Reports on Form 8-K (each, a "Monthly Form 8-K") and Annual Reports on Form 10-K (each, a "Form 10-K") customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and the Trustee shall sign and file (via the Securities and Exchange Commission's Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such Forms on behalf of the Trust. In the event the Depositor is signing the Certification described in paragraph (b) of this Section 3.22, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of attorney to execute and file each such Form 10-K on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until either the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trustee from the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Securities and Exchange Commission does not accept a Certification signed by the Depositor where the related Form 10-K is signed by the Trustee on behalf of the Depositor, the Trustee shall prepare such Form 10-K to be signed by the Depositor and the Depositor shall sign such Form 10-K.
(b) Each Monthly Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 15 days after each Distribution Date, including a copy of the monthly statement to Certificateholders delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(b) (each, a "Distribution Date Statement") for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission), the Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or applicable Securities and Exchange Commission staff's interpretations. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the Servicer's annual statement of compliance described under Section 3.18 and the accountant's report described under Section 3.19, in each case, to the extent they have been timely delivered to the Trustee. If they are not so timely delivered, the Trustee shall file an amended Form 10-K including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O (the "Certification"), which shall be signed by a senior officer of the Depositor in charge of securitization or a senior officer of the Servicer in charge of the servicing function. The Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall deliver the Certification to the Trustee three (3) Business Days prior to the latest date on which the Form 10-K may be timely filed. The Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate to enable the Securities and Exchange Commission requirements with respect to the Trust to be met in the event that the Securities and Exchange Commission issues additional interpretive guidelines or promulgates rules or regulations, or in the event of any other change of law that would require reporting arrangements or the allocation of responsibilities with respect thereto, as described in this Section 3.22, to be conducted or allocated in a different manner.
(c) Prior to the latest date on which the Form 10-K may be timely filed each year, the Trustee shall sign and deliver to the Depositor (or the Servicer, if the Servicer signs the Certification) a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit P) for the benefit of the Depositor (or the Servicer, as the case may be) and its officers, directors and Affiliates (provided, however, that the Trustee shall not undertake an analysis of the accountant's report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K). In addition, the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor or the Servicer (whichever signs the Certification), and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon any inaccuracy in the certification provided by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.22(c), any breach of the Trustee's obligations under this Section 3.22(c) or the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor or the Servicer (whichever signs the Certification) and its officers, directors and affiliates, then the Trustee agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor or the Servicer (whichever signs the Certification), its officers, directors or affiliates as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor or the Servicer (whichever signs the Certification), its officers, directors or affiliates in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor or the Servicer (whichever signs the Certification) and its officers, directors and affiliates on the one hand and the Trustee on the other in connection with a breach of the Trustee's obligations under this Section 3.22(c) or the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. The Servicer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Depositor and the Trustee are relying on the Servicer's performance of its obligations under Sections 3.18 and 3.19 in order to perform their respective obligations under this Section 3.22.
(d) Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any such executed report, statement or information.
(e) The obligations set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section shall only apply with respect to periods for which the Trustee is obligated to file reports on Form 8-K or 10-K pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. Upon request of the Depositor, the Trustee shall prepare, execute and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust, and thereafter there shall be no further obligations under paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section commencing with the fiscal year in which the Form 15 is filed (other than the obligations to be performed in such fiscal year that relate back to the prior fiscal year).
Transfers and Exchanges The Warrant Agent shall transfer, from time to time, any outstanding Warrants upon the books to be maintained by the Warrant Agent for that purpose, upon surrender thereof for transfer properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant shall be issued to the transferee and the surrendered Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. Warrants so cancelled shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company from time to time upon request. Warrants may be exchanged at the option of the holder thereof, when surrendered at the office of the Warrant Agent, for another Warrant, or other Warrants of different denominations of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to purchase a like number of shares of Common Stock.
NOTATIONS AND EXCHANGES If any amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, then the Trustee or the Company may, in its discretion, require the Holder of such Note to deliver such Note to the Trustee so that the Trustee may place an appropriate notation prepared by the Company on such Note and return such Note to such Holder. Alternatively, at its discretion, the Company may, in exchange for such Note, issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, a new Note that reflects the changed terms. The failure to make any appropriate notation or issue a new Note pursuant to this Section 8.05 will not impair or affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
Reports Filed with Securities and Exchange Commission (a) The Depositor shall prepare or cause to be prepared the initial current report on Form 8-K. Within 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, in accordance with industry standards, file with the Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (“XXXXX”), a Form 8-K with a copy of the monthly statement to be furnished by the Trustee to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to January 30 in each year commencing in 2006, the Trustee shall, in accordance with industry standards, file a Form 15 Suspension Notice with respect to the Trust Fund, if applicable. Prior to (i) March 15, 2006 and (ii) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall have been filed, prior to March 15 of each year thereafter, the Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee with a Master Servicer Certification, together with a copy of the annual independent accountant’s servicing report and annual statement of compliance to be delivered by the Master Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.13 and 3.14. Prior to (i) March 31, 2006 and (ii) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall have been filed, March 31 of each year thereafter, the Trustee shall, subject to subsection (d) below, file a Form 10-K, in substance conforming to industry standards, with respect to the Trust Fund. Such Form 10-K shall include the Master Servicer Certification and other documentation provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to the second preceding sentence and the Form 10-K certification signed by the Depositor. The Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of attorney to execute and file each such document on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until either the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trustee from the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund. The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Trustee, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this Section 3.16; provided, however, the Trustee will cooperate with the Depositor in connection with any additional filings with respect to the Trust Fund as the Depositor deems necessary under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Copies of all reports filed by the Trustee under the Exchange Act shall be sent to: the Depositor c/o Bear, Xxxxxxx & Co. Inc., Attn: Managing Director-Analysis and Control, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 3859. Fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with this Section 3.16 shall not be reimbursable from the Trust Fund.
(b) In connection with the filing of any 10-K hereunder, the Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K) for the Depositor regarding certain aspects of the Form 10-K certification signed by the Depositor, provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to undertake an analysis of any accountant’s report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K.
(c) The Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the Trustee’s obligations under this Section 3.16 or the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. The Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and its officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the obligations of the Depositor under this Section 3.16 or the Depositor’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. The Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and the Depositor and their respective officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Section 3.16 or the Master Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor or the Trustee, as applicable, then the defaulting party, in connection with a breach of its respective obligations under this Section 3.16 or its respective negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith, agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the other parties as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the other party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault and the relative benefit of the Depositor on the one hand and the Trustee on the other.
(d) Nothing shall be construed from the foregoing subsections (a), (b) and (c) to require the Trustee or any officer, director or Affiliate thereof to sign any Form 10-K or any certification contained therein. Furthermore, the inability of the Trustee to file a Form 10-K as a result of the lack of required information as set forth in Section 3.16(a) or required signatures on such Form 10-K or any certification contained therein shall not be regarded as a breach by the Trustee of any obligation under this Agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.01, this Section 3.16 may be amended without the consent of the Certificateholders.
Securities and Exchange Commission Filings To the extent permitted by law, the Servicer is authorized to execute and, on the request of the Issuer or the Administrator, will prepare, execute and file, on behalf of the Issuer, any Securities and Exchange Commission filings required to be filed by the Issuer under Section 7.3 of the Indenture.
Transfer and Exchange When Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer thereof, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of applicable law are met, and when such Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of other authorized denominations of Securities of the same Series, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested. To permit transfers and exchanges, upon surrender of any Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 2.4, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. If Securities are issued as Global Securities, the provisions of Section 2.15 shall apply. 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 Registrar or a co-registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar or a co-registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Any exchange or transfer shall be without charge, except that the Company may require payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation to a transfer or exchange, but this provision shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.11, 3.6 or 8.5. The Trustee shall not be required to register transfers of Securities of any Series, or to exchange Securities of any Series, for a period of 15 days before the record date for selection for redemption of such Securities. The Trustee shall not be required to exchange or register transfers of Securities of any Series called or being called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of such Security being redeemed in part.
Filing of Amendments and Exchange Act Documents So long as this Agreement remains in effect, the Fund will give the Representative notice of its intention to file or prepare any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment, supplement or revision to either any Preliminary Prospectus (including any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto at the time it became effective) or to the Prospectus, and will furnish the Representative with copies of any such documents a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file or use any such documents to which the Representative or counsel for the Underwriters shall reasonably object. The Fund has given the Representative notice of any filings made pursuant to the 1934 Act or the 1934 Act Regulations within 48 hours prior to the Applicable Time; the Fund will give the Representative notice of its intention to make any such filing from the Applicable Time to the Closing Time and will furnish the Representative with copies of any such documents a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing and will not, unless required by law, file or use any such document to which the Representative or counsel for the Underwriters shall object; provided, however that this covenant shall not apply to any post-effective amendment required by Rule 8b-16 of the 1940 Act which is filed with the Commission after the later of (x) one year from the date of this Agreement or (y) the date on which the distribution of the Shares is completed.
Reports to Government Entities Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Executive from initiating communications directly with, responding to any inquiry from, providing testimony before, providing confidential information to, reporting possible violations of law or regulation to, or filing a claim or assisting with an investigation directly with a self-regulatory authority or a government agency or entity, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, Congress, any agency Inspector General or any other federal, state or local regulatory authority (collectively, the “Regulators”), or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of state or federal law or regulation. The Executive does not need the prior authorization of the Company to engage in conduct protected by this subsection, and the Executive does not need to notify the Company that the Executive has engaged in such conduct. Please take notice that federal law provides criminal and civil immunity to federal and state claims for trade secret misappropriation to individuals who disclose trade secrets to their attorneys, courts, or government officials in certain, confidential circumstances that are set forth at 18 U.S.C. §§ 1833(b)(1) and 1833(b)(2), related to the reporting or investigation of a suspected violation of the law, or in connection with a lawsuit for retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of the law.
Cooperation and Exchange of Information The Parties shall each cooperate fully (and each shall cause its respective Affiliates to cooperate fully) and in a timely manner (considering the other Party’s normal internal processing or reporting requirements) with all reasonable requests from another Party hereto, or from an agent, representative, or advisor to such Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns, claims for Refund, Audits, determinations of Tax Attributes and the calculation of Taxes or other amounts required to be paid hereunder, and any applicable financial reporting requirements of a Party or its Affiliates, in each case, related or attributable to or arising in connection with Taxes or Tax Attributes of any of the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries covered by this Agreement. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation:
(a) the retention until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations or, if later, until the expiration of all relevant Tax Attributes (in each case taking into account all waivers and extensions), and the provision upon request, of Tax Returns of the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries for periods up to and including the Distribution Date, books, records (including information regarding ownership and Tax basis of property), documentation, and other information relating to such Tax Returns, including accompanying schedules, related work papers, and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Taxing Authorities;
(b) the execution of any document that may be necessary or reasonably helpful in connection with any Audit of any of the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries, or the filing of a Tax Return or Refund claim of the Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries (including the signature of an officer of a Party or its Subsidiary);
(c) the use of the Party’s reasonable best efforts to obtain any documentation and provide additional facts, insights or views as requested by another Party that may be necessary or reasonably helpful in connection with any of the foregoing (including without limitation any information contained in Tax or other financial information databases); and
(d) the use of the Party’s reasonable best efforts to obtain any Tax Returns (including accompanying schedules, related work papers, and documents), documents, books, records, or other information that may be necessary or helpful in connection with any Tax Returns of any of the Parties or their Affiliates. Each Party shall make its and its Subsidiaries’ employees and facilities available on a reasonable and mutually convenient basis in connection with the foregoing matters. Except for costs and expenses otherwise allocated among the Parties pursuant to this Agreement, including costs incurred under Article II and Article IX, and except for copying costs, which shall be shared equally by the Parties, no reimbursement shall be made for costs and expenses incurred by the Parties as a result of cooperating pursuant to this Section 10.1.
Certain Transfers and Exchanges Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, transfers and exchanges of Securities and beneficial interests in a Global Security shall be made only in accordance with this Section 3.6(b).
