Trust Certificates and Transfer of Interests Section 3.01
The Trust Certificates The Trust Certificates shall represent in the aggregate a 100% Percentage Interest in the Trust. On the date hereof, the Depositor or its designee shall be the sole Certificateholder of each of the Trust Certificates and each of the Trust Certificates shall be registered, upon initial issuance, in the name of the Depositor or its designee. The Trust Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an Authorized Officer of the Owner Trustee. Trust Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Owner Trustee, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefit of this Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Trust Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Trust Certificates. A transferee of a Trust Certificate shall become a Certificateholder and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder upon such transferee’s acceptance of a Trust Certificate duly registered in such transferee’s name pursuant to Section 3.04.
Owner Trustee May Own Trust Certificates and Notes The Owner Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Trust Certificates or Notes and may deal with the Depositor, the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer in banking transactions with the same rights as it would have if it were not Owner Trustee.
Authentication of Trust Certificates On the Closing Date, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Trust Certificates to be executed on behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of the Depositor signed by the Depositor’s president, any vice president, secretary, treasurer or any assistant treasurer, without further company action by the Depositor. No Trust Certificate shall entitle a Certificateholder to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose unless there shall appear on such Trust Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, as its authenticating agent, by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Trust Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Trust Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
Representation Dates; Certificates On or prior to the date that the first Shares are sold pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and: (1) each time the Company: (i) files the Prospectus relating to the Shares or amends or supplements the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Shares by means of a post-effective amendment, sticker, or supplement but not by means of incorporation of documents by reference into the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Shares; (ii) files an Annual Report on Form 10-K under the Exchange Act; (iii) files a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act; or (iv) files an Earnings 8-K or a Current Report on Form 8-K containing amended financial information (other than an Earnings Announcement, to “furnish” information pursuant to Item 2.02 or 7.01 of Form 8-K under the Exchange Act); and (2) at any other time reasonably requested by the Sales Agent, the Forward Seller or the Forward Purchaser (each such date of filing of one or more of the documents referred to in clauses (1)(i) through (iv) and any time of request pursuant to this Section 8(o) shall be a “Representation Date”), the Company shall furnish the Sales Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser with two certificates, in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit E-1 and Exhibit E-2 as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after any Representation Date. The requirement to provide two certificates under this Section 8(o) shall be waived for any Representation Date occurring at a time at which no Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) is pending, which waiver shall continue until the earlier to occur of the date the Company delivers a Placement Notice hereunder (which for such calendar quarter shall be considered a Representation Date) and the next occurring Representation Date; provided, however, that such waiver shall not apply for any Representation Date on which the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Shares or enter into a Forward following a Representation Date when the Company relied on such waiver and did not provide the Sales Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser with a certificate under this Section 8(o), then before the Company delivers the Placement Notice or the Sales Agent or the Forward Seller sell any Shares, the Company shall provide the Sales Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser with two certificates, in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit E-1 and Exhibit E-2, each dated the date of the Placement Notice.
Initial Certificate Ownership Since the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.5, the Depositor has been the sole Certificateholder.
Depositor as Certificateholder The Depositor in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates and may otherwise deal with the Owner Trustee or its Affiliates as if it were not the Depositor.
CUSTODIAN’S CERTIFICATE State Street Bank and Trust Company, as custodian for the Acquired Fund (the "Custodian"), shall deliver at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer stating that: (a) the Acquired Fund's portfolio securities, cash, and any other assets have been delivered in proper form to the Acquiring Fund on the Closing Date; and (b) all necessary taxes including all applicable federal and state stock transfer stamps, if any, shall have been paid, or provision for payment shall have been made, in conjunction with the delivery of portfolio securities by the Acquired Fund.
Control by Certificateholders The Holders of Certificates of any Class holding Certificates representing not less than the Required Percentage--Direction of Trustee of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Outstanding Certificates of such Class shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee under this Trust Agreement, including any right of the Trustee as holder of the Underlying Securities; provided that: (i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Trust Agreement and would not involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense; (ii) the Trustee shall determine, based upon an Opinion of Counsel, that the action so directed would not be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders of Certificates of such Class not taking part in such direction; and (iii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.
