ISSUANCE AND TRANSFER OF SHARES 1. The Bank will issue Share certificates upon receipt of a Certificate from an Officer, but shall not be required to issue Share certificates after it has received from an appropriate federal or state authority written notification that the sale of Shares has been suspended or discontinued, and the Bank shall be entitled to rely upon such written notification. The Bank shall not be responsible for the payment of any original issue or other taxes required to be paid by the Customer in connection with the issuance of any Shares.
2. Shares will be transferred upon presentation to the Bank of Share certificates in form deemed by the Bank properly endorsed for transfer, accompanied by such documents as the Bank deems necessary to evidence the authority of the person making such transfer, and bearing satisfactory evidence of the payment of applicable stock transfer taxes. In the case of small estates where no administration is contemplated, the Bank may, when furnished with an appropriate surety bond, and without further approval of the Customer, transfer Shares registered in the name of the decedent where the current market value of the Shares being transferred does not exceed such amount as may from time to time be prescribed by the various states. The Bank reserves the right to refuse to transfer Shares until it is satisfied that the endorsements on Share certificates are valid and genuine, and for that purpose it may require, unless otherwise instructed by an Officer of the Customer, a guaranty of signature by an "eligible guarantor institution" meeting the requirements of the Bank, which requirements include membership or participation in STAMP or such other "signature guarantee program" as may be determined by the Bank in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Bank also reserves the right to refuse to transfer Shares until it is satisfied that the requested transfer is legally authorized, and it shall incur no liability for the refusal in good faith to make transfers which the Bank, in its judgment, deems improper or unauthorized, or until it is satisfied that there is no basis to any claims adverse to such transfer. The Bank may, in effecting transfers of Shares, rely upon those provisions of the Uniform Act for the Simplification of Fiduciary Security Transfers or the Uniform Commercial Code, as the same may be amended from time to time, applicable to the transfer of securities, and the Customer shall indemnify the Bank for any act done or omitted by it in good faith in reliance upon such laws.
3. All certificates representing Shares that are subject to restrictions on transfer (e.g., securities acquired pursuant to an investment representation, securities held by controlling persons, securities subject to stockholders' agreement, etc.), shall be stamped with a legend describing the extent and conditions of the restrictions or referring to the source of such restrictions. The Bank assumes no responsibility with respect to the transfer of restricted securities where counsel for the Customer advises that such transfer may be properly effected.
Registration and Transfer of Securities All Securities held for the Fund that are issued or issuable only in bearer form shall be held by the Custodian in that form, provided that any such Securities shall be held in a Book-Entry System if eligible therefor. All other Securities held for the Fund may be registered in the name of the Fund, the Custodian, a Sub-Custodian or any nominee thereof, or in the name of a Book-Entry System, Securities Depository or any nominee of either thereof. The records of the Custodian with respect to foreign securities of the Fund that are maintained with a Sub-Custodian in an account that is identified as belonging to the Custodian for the benefit of its customers shall identify those securities as belonging to the Fund. The Trust shall furnish to the Custodian appropriate instruments to enable the Custodian to hold or deliver in proper form for transfer, or to register in the name of any of the nominees referred to above or in the name of a Book-Entry System or Securities Depository, any Securities registered in the name of the Fund.

No charge shall be imposed by the General Partner for such transfer; provided, however, that as a condition to the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 4.5, the General Partner may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed with respect thereto. Upon surrender of a Certificate for registration of transfer of any Limited Partner Interests evidenced by a Certificate, and subject to the provisions of this Section 4.5(b), the appropriate officers of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership shall execute and deliver, and in the case of Certificates evidencing Limited Partner Interests for which a Transfer Agent has been appointed, the Transfer Agent shall countersign and deliver, in the name of the holder or the designated transferee or transferees, as required pursuant to the holder’s instructions, one or more new Certificates evidencing the same aggregate number and type of Limited Partner Interests as was evidenced by the Certificate so surrendered. Upon the proper surrender of a Certificate, such transfer shall be recorded in the Partnership Register.
(c) Upon the receipt of proper transfer instructions from the Record Holder of uncertificated Partnership Interests, such transfer shall be recorded in the Partnership Register.
(d) Except as provided in Section 4.9, by acceptance of any Limited Partner Interests pursuant to a transfer in accordance with this Article IV, each transferee of a Limited Partner Interest (including any nominee, or agent or representative acquiring such Limited Partner Interests for the account of another Person or Group) (i) shall be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner with respect to the Limited Partner Interests so transferred to such Person when any such transfer or admission is reflected in the Partnership Register and such Person becomes the Record Holder of the Limited Partner Interests so transferred, (ii) shall become bound, and shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound, by the terms of this Agreement, (iii) represents that the transferee has the capacity, power and authority to enter into this Agreement, (iv) makes the consents, acknowledgements and waivers contained in this Agreement, all with or without execution of this Agreement by such Person and (v) shall be deemed to certify that the transferee is not an Ineligible Holder. The transfer of any Limited Partner Interests and the admission of any new Limited Partner shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement.
(e) Subject to (i) the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.5, (ii) Section 4.3, (iii) Section 4.8, (iv) with respect to any class or series of Limited Partner Interests, the provisions of any statement of designations or an amendment to this Agreement establishing such class or series, (v) any contractual provisions binding on any Limited Partner and (vi) provisions of applicable law including the Securities Act, Limited Partner Interests shall be freely transferable.
(f) The General Partner and its Affiliates shall have the right at any time to transfer their Common Units to one or more Persons.
Valid Transfer This Agreement or, in the case of Additional Accounts, the related Assignment constitutes a valid sale, transfer and assignment to the Trust of all right, title and interest of the Seller in the Receivables and the Collateral Security and the proceeds thereof and all of the Seller's rights, remedies, powers and privileges with respect to the Receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and, upon the filing of the financing statements described in Section 2.01 with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and, in the case of the Receivables hereafter created and the proceeds thereof, upon the creation thereof, the Trust shall have a first priority perfected ownership interest in such property, subject to the rights of the Purchased Receivables Owners in any Collateral Security in respect of the Partial Accounts (other than the Vehicles relating to Principal Receivables arising in the Partial Accounts), except for Liens permitted under the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and except for Liens permitted under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, neither the Seller nor any Person claiming through or under the Seller has any claim to or interest in the Collateral of the Trust. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Trust and the issuance of the Notes. Upon discovery by the Seller, the Servicer, the Trust, the Owner Trustee, any Agent or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties specified above, and to any Enhancement Providers. In the event of any breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03 having a material adverse effect on the interests of the Noteholders, then either the Trustee or the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of all Notes, by notice then given in writing to the Seller (and to the Trustee, the Trust, any Enhancement Providers and the Servicer if given by the Noteholders), may direct the Seller to purchase the Noteholders' Interest within 60 days of such notice (or within such longer period as may be specified in such notice), and the Seller shall be obligated to make such purchase on a Payment Date occurring within such 60-day period on the terms and conditions set forth below; provided, however, that no such purchase shall be required to be made if, by the end of such 60-day period (or such longer period as may be specified), the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03 shall be satisfied in all material respects, and any material adverse effect on the Noteholders' Interest caused thereby shall have been cured. The Seller shall deposit in the Collection Account in immediately available funds on the Business Day preceding such Payment Date, in payment for such purchase of the Noteholders' Interest, the Reassignment Amount for such Payment Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such amounts deposited in the Collection Account shall be applied in accordance with Section 706 of the Indenture and shall be allocated pro rata among the then-outstanding Series based on their respective Series Nominal Liquidation Amounts. If the Trustee or the Noteholders give notice directing the Seller to purchase the Noteholders' Interest as provided above, the obligation of the Seller to purchase the Noteholders' Interest pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall constitute the sole remedy respecting an event of the type specified in the first sentence of this Section 2.03 available to the Noteholders (or the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders).
Restrictions on Public Sale by Holders of Registrable Securities Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees, if requested by the underwriters of an Underwritten Offering, to enter into a customary letter agreement with such underwriters providing such Holder will not effect any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities during the 60 calendar day period beginning on the date of a prospectus or prospectus supplement filed with the Commission with respect to the pricing of any Underwritten Offering, provided that (i) the duration of the foregoing restrictions shall be no longer than the duration of the shortest restriction generally imposed by the underwriters on the Partnership or the officers, directors or any other Affiliate of the Partnership on whom a restriction is imposed and (ii) the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.07 shall not apply to any Registrable Securities that are included in such Underwritten Offering by such Holder.
