Transfer of Notes (a) Each Holder may Transfer up to 49% (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in its Note whether or not the related transferee is a Qualified Transferee without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Each Holder shall not Transfer more than 49% (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in its Note unless (i) prior to a Securitization of any Note, the other Holders have consented to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Transferee” for all purposes under this Agreement, (ii) after a Securitization of any Note, a Rating Agency Confirmation has been received with respect to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Transferee” for all purposes under this Agreement, or (iii) such Transfer is to a Qualified Transferee. Any such transferee must assume in writing the obligations of the transferring Holder hereunder and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. Such proposed transferee (except in the case of Transfers that are made in connection with a Securitization) shall also remake each of the representations and warranties contained herein for the benefit of the other Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the non-transferring Holder’s prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if such non-transferring Holder’s Note is in a Securitization, without a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency that has been engaged by the related Depositor to rate the securities issued in connection with such Securitization, no Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note to any Borrower Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee.
(b) Except for a Transfer made in connection with a Securitization, or a Transfer made by an Initial Note Holder to an Affiliate, at least five (5) days prior to a transfer of any Note, the transferring Holder shall provide to the other Holders and, if any Certificates are outstanding, to the Rating Agencies, a certification that such transfer will be made in accordance with this Section 12, such certification to include (1) the name and contact information of the transferee and (2) if applicable, a certification by the transferee that it is a Qualified Transferee.
(c) The Holders acknowledge that any Rating Agency Confirmation may be granted or denied by the Rating Agencies in their sole and absolute discretion and that such Rating Agencies may charge the transferring Holder customary fees in connection with providing such Rating Agency Confirmation.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Holder may pledge or transfer (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than any Borrower Party) that has extended a credit facility to such Holder or has entered into a repurchase agreement with such Holder and that, in each case, is either a Qualified Transferee or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (a “Note Pledgee”), or to a Person with respect to which a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained, on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 12(d), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to any Holder or any Affiliate that controls such Holder that is secured by such Holder’s interest in its respective Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder on the condition that all applicable terms and conditions of this Section 12(d) are complied with. A Note Pledgee that is not a Qualified Transferee may not take title to a Note without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice, if any, by the pledging Holder to the other Holders and any Master Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), the other Holders agree to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agree: (i) to give such Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Holder has actual knowledge and which notice shall be given simultaneously with the giving of such notice to the pledging Holder; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) Business Days to cure a default by the pledging Holder in respect of its obligations to the other Holders hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement (if the pledging Holder had the right to consent to such amendment, modification, waiver or termination pursuant to the terms hereof) shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which consent shall be deemed to be given if Note Pledgee shall fail to respond to any request for consent to any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination within 10 days after request therefor; (iv) that the other Holders shall accept any cure by such Note Pledgee of any default of the pledging Holder which such pledging Holder has the right to effect hereunder, as if such cure were made by such pledging Holder; (v) that the other Holders or any Servicer shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the other Holders; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to any Master Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Holder is in default beyond any applicable cure periods with respect to the pledging Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement or other agreements relating to the Pledge between the pledging Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee (or at any time that pledging Holder otherwise directs that such payment be made to Note Pledgee pursuant to a separate notice) shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Servicer would otherwise be obligated to make to the pledging Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the other Holders and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Holder on account of any Holder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or other Holders in good faith to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Holder (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law, the pledge agreement, repurchase agreement or similar agreement between the pledging Holder and the Note Pledgee and this Agreement. In such event, or if the pledging holder otherwise assigns its interests to the Note Pledgee, the other Holders and any Master Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee (other than any Borrower Party) that is also a Qualified Transferee at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and such Person’s successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Transferee shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 12(d) shall remain effective as to any Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified such Holder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.
Transfer of Membership Interest The Sole Member may Transfer any part or all of its rights and interest (including, but not limited to, its Capital Account) in the Company (each a “Membership Interest”) now owned or hereafter acquired to any Person, and the transferee of such Membership Interest shall become a Member of the Company.
Transfer of Note Each provision of this Note shall be and remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any negotiation or transfer hereof and any interest herein to any other Holder or participant.
Transfer of Membership Interests (a) The Member may transfer its Membership Interest, in whole but not in part, but the transferee shall not be admitted as a Member except in accordance with Section 6.07. Until the transferee is admitted as a Member, the Member shall continue to be the sole member of the Company (subject to Section 1.02) and to be entitled to exercise any rights or powers of a Member of the Company with respect to the Membership Interest transferred.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, any purported transfer of any Membership Interest in violation of the provisions of this Agreement shall be wholly void and shall not effectuate the transfer contemplated thereby. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary and to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Member may not transfer any Membership Interest in violation of any provision of this Agreement or in violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws.
Transfer of Securities The Bank will transfer, exchange, deliver or release Portfolio Securities held by it hereunder, insofar as such Securities are available for such purpose, provided that before making any transfer, exchange, delivery or release under this Section only upon receipt of Proper Instructions. The Proper Instructions shall state that such transfer, exchange or delivery is for a purpose permitted under the terms of this Section 6.12, and shall specify the applicable subsection, or describe the purpose of the transaction with sufficient particularity to permit the Bank to ascertain the applicable subsection. After receipt of such Proper Instructions, the Bank will transfer, exchange, deliver or release Portfolio Securities only in the following circumstances:
(a) Upon sales of Portfolio Securities for the account of the Fund, against contemporaneous receipt by the Bank of payment therefor in full, or against payment to the Bank in accordance with generally accepted settlement practices and customs in the jurisdiction or market in which the transaction occurs, each such payment to be in the amount of the sale price shown in a broker's confirmation of sale received by the Bank before such payment is made, as confirmed in the Proper Instructions received by the Bank before such payment is made;
(b) In exchange for or upon conversion into other securities alone or other securities and cash pursuant to any plan of merger, consolidation, reorganization, share split-up, change in par value, recapitalization or readjustment or otherwise, upon exercise of subscription, purchase or sale or other similar rights represented by such Portfolio Securities, or for the purpose of tendering shares in the event of a tender offer therefor, provided, however, that in the event of an offer of exchange, tender offer, or other exercise of rights requiring the physical tender or delivery of Portfolio Securities, the Bank shall have no liability for failure to so tender in a timely manner unless such Proper Instructions are received by the Bank at least two business days prior to the date required for tender, and unless the Bank (or its agent or subcustodian hereunder) has actual possession of such Security at least two business days prior to the date of tender;
(c) Upon conversion of Portfolio Securities pursuant to their terms into other securities;
(d) For the purpose of redeeming in-kind shares of the Fund upon authorization from the Fund;
(e) In the case of option contracts owned by the Fund, for presentation to the endorsing broker;
(f) When such Portfolio Securities are called, redeemed or retired or otherwise become payable;
(g) For the purpose of effectuating the pledge of Portfolio Securities held by the Bank in order to collateralize loans made to the Fund by any bank, including the Bank; provided, however, that such Portfolio Securities will be released only upon payment to the Bank for the account of the Fund of the moneys borrowed, provided further, however, that in cases where additional collateral is required to secure a borrowing already made, and such fact is made to appear in the Proper Instructions, Portfolio Securities may be released for that purpose without any such payment. In the event that any pledged Portfolio Securities are held by the Bank, they will be so held for the account of the lender, and after notice to the Fund from the lender in accordance with the normal procedures of the lender and any loan agreement between the fund and the lender that an event of deficiency or default on the loan has occurred, the Bank may deliver such pledged Portfolio Securities to or for the account of the lender;
(h) for the purpose of releasing certificates representing Portfolio Securities, against contemporaneous receipt by the Bank of the fair market value of such security, as set forth in the Proper Instructions received by the Bank before such payment is made;
(i) for the purpose of delivering securities lent by the Fund to a bank or broker dealer, but only against receipt in accordance with street delivery custom except as otherwise provided herein, of adequate collateral as agreed upon from time to time by the Fund and the Bank, and upon receipt of payment in connection with any repurchase agreement relating to such securities entered into by the Fund;
(j) for other authorized transactions of the Fund or for other proper corporate purposes; provided that before making such transfer, the Bank will also receive a certified copy of resolutions of the Board, signed by an authorized officer of the Fund (other than the officer certifying such resolution) and certified by its Secretary or Assistant Secretary, specifying the Portfolio Securities to be delivered, setting forth the transaction in or purpose for which such delivery is to be made, declaring such transaction to be an authorized transaction of the Fund or such purpose to be a proper corporate purpose, and naming the person or persons to whom delivery of such securities shall be made; and
(k) upon termination of this Agreement as hereinafter set forth pursuant to Section 8 and Section 16 of this Agreement. As to any deliveries made by the Bank pursuant to this Section 6.12, securities or cash receivable in exchange therefor shall be delivered to the Bank.
