Common use of Transfer of the Certificates Clause in Contracts

Transfer of the Certificates. (a) A Certificateholder may assign, convey or otherwise transfer all or any of its right, title and interest in the related Certificate, subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 3.5 and this Section 3.7. By accepting and holding a Certificate (or any interest therein), the holder thereof (and, if the holder is a Plan, its fiduciary) shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not, and is not acquiring and will not hold the Certificate (or any interest therein) on behalf of or with any assets of, a Benefit Plan or Plan that is subject to Similar Law. Subject to the transfer restrictions contained herein and in the Certificate, each Certificateholder may transfer all or any portion of the Percentage Interest evidenced by such Certificate (1) upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar of the documents required by Section 3.5 and this Section 3.7, (2) in the case such transfer is the initial transfer of a Certificate (or beneficial interest therein) to a Person that is not the Depositor for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then only if both (x) at least 50% of the Certificates or beneficial interest therein are so transferred to such a Person(s) and (y) a nationally recognized law firm renders an opinion of counsel substantially to the effect that, subject to the assumptions and qualifications therein, for United States federal income tax purposes, while the matter is not free from doubt, to the extent the Issuer is not wholly owned by a single taxpayer for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the activities of the Issuer itself should not cause it to be considered to be engaged in a United States trade or business, (3) and, in the case of a Definitive Certificate, surrender of such Definitive Certificate to the Certificate Registrar. Such transfer may be made by a registered Certificateholder in person or by such Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing upon (i) in the case of a Definitive Certificate, surrender of such Certificate to the Certificate Registrar accompanied by (x) a written instrument of transfer in the form of the “Assignment” attached to the Form of Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A and with such signature guarantees and evidence of authority of the Persons signing the instrument of transfer as the Certificate Registrar may reasonably require and (y) an executed direction letter regarding registration of such transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, and (ii) delivery of the documents required by clause (c) hereof and such other documentation as may be required by the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee to comply with Applicable Law (as defined in Section 7.8). No transfer will be effectuated hereunder by the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee unless each of the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee has received the transfer documentation required by it hereunder. Promptly upon the receipt of such documents and, in the case of a Definitive Certificate, receipt by the Certificate Registrar of the transferor’s Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall record the name of such transferee as a Certificateholder and its Percentage Interest in the Certificate Register and, in the case of a Definitive Certificate, shall notify the Owner Trustee thereof, whereupon the Owner Trustee shall execute, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, to such Certificateholder a Certificate evidencing such Percentage Interest. As a condition precedent to any registration of transfer under this Section 3.7, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover the payment of any tax or taxes or other governmental charges required to be paid in connection with such transfer. In the event a transferor transfers only a portion of its Percentage Interest, the Owner Trustee shall execute, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, and the Certificate Registrar shall register, authenticate and deliver to such transferor, a new Certificate evidencing such transferor’s new Percentage Interest. Subsequent to a transfer and upon the issuance of a new Definitive Certificate or Definitive Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall cancel and destroy the Definitive Certificate surrendered to it in connection with such transfer. Unless otherwise provided under applicable law, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the sole owner of the beneficial interest in the Issuer evidenced by such Certificate, without regard to any notice to the contrary.
