Payment of the Notes Not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any Notes, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such principal, redemption payments, premium, if any, and interest so becoming due. All the payments must be in U.S. Dollars.
Terms of the Notes The following terms relating to the Notes are hereby established:
Form of the Notes The Notes shall each be issued in the form of a Global Note, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee, which shall be deposited with the Trustee as custodian for DTC and registered in the name of “Cede & Co.,” as the nominee of DTC. The Notes shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon). Notes issued in definitive certificated form in accordance with the terms of the Base Indenture and this First Supplemental Indenture, if any, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon). So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a Global Note, DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, shall be considered the sole owner or Holder of the Notes represented by such Global Note for all purposes under the Indenture. Ownership of beneficial interests in such Global Note shall be shown on, and transfers thereof shall be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to beneficial interests of participants) or by participants or Persons that hold interests through participants (with respect to beneficial interests of beneficial owners). In addition, the following provisions of clauses (1), (2), and (3) below shall apply only to Global Notes:
Sale of the Notes (a) Except as contemplated by the second following sentence, each Note Holder agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, syndicate, hypothecate, contribute, encumber or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of its respective Note (a “Transfer”) except to a Qualified Institutional Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Promptly after the Transfer (other than a Transfer to a Securitization Trust), the non-transferring Note Holder(s) shall be provided with (x) a representation from a transferee or the applicable Note Holder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender (except in the case of a Transfer in accordance with the immediately following sentence) and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 15. If a Note Holder intends to Transfer its respective Note, or any portion thereof, to an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, it must first (a) obtain the consent of each non-transferring Note Holder and (b) if such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency then rating the securities of such Securitization Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the non-transferring Note Holder’s prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, until a Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained, no Note Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note (or a participation interest in such Note) to a Borrower Party and any such Transfer made without the prior consent of the non-transferring Note Holder and Rating Agency Confirmation (if such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust), shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, transfers of any securities backed by a Note held in a Securitization Trust will not be subject to the foregoing requirement and such transfers shall be governed by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or any related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The transferring Note Holder agrees that it shall pay the expenses of the non-transferring Note Holder (including all expenses of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and any Controlling Note Holder or Controlling Note Holder Representative) and all expenses relating to any Rating Agency Confirmation in connection with any such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Note Holder shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of the other Note Holder or of any other Person or having to provide any Rating Agency Confirmation, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in a Note. None of the provisions of this Section 14(a) shall apply in the case of (1) a sale of all of the Notes together, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or (2) a transfer by the Special Servicer, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan to a single member limited liability or limited partnership, 100% of the equity interest in which is owned directly or indirectly, through one or more single member limited liability companies or limited partnerships, by the Lead Securitization Trust.
Prepayment of the Notes In addition to the payment of the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes at the final maturity thereof, the Company may make optional prepayments in respect of the Notes as hereinafter provided.
Optional Redemption of the Notes (a) The Master Servicer shall have the option to redeem the Notes in whole, but not in part, on any Payment Date on or after the Payment Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the end of the prior Due Period is less than or equal to [___]% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of Cut-off Date. The aggregate redemption price for the Notes will be equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and the appraised value of any REO Properties, such appraisal to be conducted by an Independent appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer and the Indenture Trustee in their reasonable discretion and (ii) the fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties (as determined by the Master Servicer and, to the extent that a Class of Class A Notes or a Class of Mezzanine Notes will not receive all amounts owed to it as a result of the redemption, the Indenture Trustee (it being understood and agreed that any determination by the Indenture Trustee shall be made solely in reliance on an appraisal by an Independent appraiser as provided above), in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the weighted average of the Mortgage Rates through the end of the Due Period preceding the final Payment Date plus unreimbursed Servicing Advances, P&I Advances, any unpaid Servicing Fees allocable to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and any accrued and unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls (the "Redemption Price"); provided, however, that the Master Servicer will not be permitted to redeem the Notes unless the Redemption Price is sufficient to retire the Note Balance of the remaining Notes to zero. If the determination of the fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties shall be required to be made by the Master Servicer and an Independent appraiser as provided above, (A) such appraisal shall be obtained at no expense to the Indenture Trustee and (B) the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such appraisal.
Redemption of the Notes SECTION 3.01.
Issuance of the Notes The Notes have been duly authorized and, at the Closing Time, will have been duly executed and, when authenticated, issued and delivered in the manner provided for in the Indenture and delivered against payment of the purchase price therefor as provided in this Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Trust, enforceable against the Trust in accordance with their terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and except as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and will be in the form contemplated by, and entitled to the benefits of, the Indenture.
Creation of the Notes In accordance with Section 301 of the Base Indenture, the Company hereby creates the Notes as a separate series of its securities issued pursuant to the Indenture. The Notes shall be issued initially in an aggregate principal amount of $600,000,000, except as permitted by Sections 304, 305 or 306 of the Base Indenture.
Right of the Company to Redeem the Notes The Company will have the right to redeem the Notes for cash in the manner, and subject to the terms, set forth in Section 4.03 of the Indenture.
