CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Schedule A to Arbitration Agreement
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).
Commission Reports (a) The Company shall file with the Trustee, within 30 days after it files them with the Commission, copies of the quarterly and annual reports and of the information, documents, and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. If the Company is not subject to the requirement of such Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall file with the Trustee, within 30 days after it would have been required to file such information with the Commission, financial statements, including any notes thereto and, with respect to annual reports, an auditors' report by an accounting firm of established national reputation and a "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," both comparable to that which the Company would have been required to include in such annual reports, information, documents or other reports if the Company had been subject to the requirements of such Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.
(b) So long as the Securities remain outstanding, the Company shall cause its annual report to stockholders and any other financial reports furnished by it to stockholders generally, to be mailed to the Holders at their addresses appearing in the register of Securities maintained by the Security Registrar in each case at the time of such mailing or furnishing to stockholders. If the Company is not required to furnish annual or quarterly reports to its stockholders pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Company shall cause its financial statements, including any notes thereto and, with respect to annual reports, an auditors' report by an accounting firm of established national reputation and a "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," to be so filed with the Trustee and mailed to the Holders within 90 days after the end of each of the Company's fiscal years and within 45 days after the end of each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year.
(c) The Company shall provide the Trustee with a sufficient number of copies of all reports and other documents and information that the Company may be required to deliver to the Holders under this Section 1007.
