Registration, Transfer and Exchange Generally (a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the “Securities Register”) in which the registrar and transfer agent with respect to the Securities (the “Securities Registrar”), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers and exchanges of Securities. The Trustee shall at all times also be the Securities Registrar. The provisions of Article VI shall apply to the Trustee in its role as Securities Registrar.
(b) Subject to compliance with Section 2.2(b), upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the offices or agencies of the Company designated for that purpose the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denominations of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.
(c) At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denominations, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and upon receipt thereof the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
(d) All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.
(e) Every Security presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Securities Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing.
(f) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Securities.
(g) Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.5 to (i) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the day of selection for redemption of Securities pursuant to Article XI and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing of the notice of redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any such Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed.
(h) The Company shall designate an office or offices or agency or agencies where Securities may be surrendered for registration or transfer or exchange. The Company initially designates the Corporate Trust Office as its office and agency for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee and to the Holders of any change in the location of any such office or agency.
Transfer and Exchange When Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer thereof, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of applicable law are met, and when such Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of other authorized denominations of Securities of the same Series, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested. To permit transfers and exchanges, upon surrender of any Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 2.4, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. If Securities are issued as Global Securities, the provisions of Section 2.15 shall apply. All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Registrar or a co-registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar or a co-registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Any exchange or transfer shall be without charge, except that the Company may require payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation to a transfer or exchange, but this provision shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.11, 3.6 or 8.5. The Trustee shall not be required to register transfers of Securities of any Series, or to exchange Securities of any Series, for a period of 15 days before the record date for selection for redemption of such Securities. The Trustee shall not be required to exchange or register transfers of Securities of any Series called or being called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of such Security being redeemed in part.
Transfers and Exchanges The Warrant Agent shall transfer, from time to time, any outstanding Warrants upon the books to be maintained by the Warrant Agent for that purpose, upon surrender thereof for transfer properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant shall be issued to the transferee and the surrendered Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. Warrants so cancelled shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company from time to time upon request. Warrants may be exchanged at the option of the holder thereof, when surrendered at the office of the Warrant Agent, for another Warrant, or other Warrants of different denominations of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to purchase a like number of shares of Common Stock.
Transfer and Exchange of Global Warrants The transfer and exchange of Global Warrants or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with this Warrant Agreement and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.
NOTATIONS AND EXCHANGES If any amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, then the Trustee or the Company may, in its discretion, require the Holder of such Note to deliver such Note to the Trustee so that the Trustee may place an appropriate notation prepared by the Company on such Note and return such Note to such Holder. Alternatively, at its discretion, the Company may, in exchange for such Note, issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, a new Note that reflects the changed terms. The failure to make any appropriate notation or issue a new Note pursuant to this Section 8.05 will not impair or affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities (i) The transfer and exchange of Global Securities or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depository, in accordance with this Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depository therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Security shall deliver a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Global Security and such account shall be credited in accordance with such instructions with a beneficial interest in the Global Security and the account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global Security being transferred.
(ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Security to a beneficial interest in another Global Security, the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Security to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security from which such interest is being transferred.
(iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix A (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global Security may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.
(iv) In the event that a Global Security is exchanged for Definitive Securities pursuant to Section 2.4 prior to the consummation of a Registered Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such Securities, such Securities may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Initial Securities intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A, Regulation S or such other applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Issuer.
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).
Transfer and Exchange of Warrants Subject to the terms hereof, the Warrant Agent shall initially countersign, register in the Warrant Register and deliver Warrant Certificates hereunder in accordance with the written instructions of the Company. Subject to the terms hereof and the receipt of such documentation as the Warrant Agent may reasonably require, the Warrant Agent shall thereafter from time to time register the transfer of any outstanding Warrants upon the records to be maintained by it for that purpose, upon surrender of the Warrant Certificate or Certificates evidencing such Warrants duly endorsed or accompanied (if so required by it) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, duly executed by the registered Holder or Holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, a Warrant Certificate evidencing Warrants in any tranche may be exchanged for another Warrant Certificate or Certificates evidencing Warrants in the same tranche and entitling the Holder thereof to purchase a like aggregate number of Warrant Shares as the Warrant Certificate or Certificates surrendered then entitles such Holder to purchase. Any Holder desiring to exchange a Warrant Certificate or Certificates shall make such request in writing delivered to the Warrant Agent, and shall surrender, duly endorsed or accompanied (if so required by the Warrant Agent) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Certificate or Certificates to be so exchanged. Upon registration of transfer, the Company shall issue and the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver by certified mail a new Warrant Certificate or Certificates to the persons entitled thereto. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of a Warrant Certificate or of Warrant Certificates, but the Company may require the surrendering Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or other tax or other governmental charge that is imposed in connection with any such exchange or registration of transfer pursuant to Section 5 hereof. By accepting the initial delivery, transfer or exchange of Warrants, each Holder shall be deemed to agree to the terms of this Agreement as it may be in effect from time to time, including any amendments or supplements duly adopted in accordance with Section 17 hereof.
Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if:
(1) the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary;
(2) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; or
(3) there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (1) or (2) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a), however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b), (c) or (f) hereof.
Securities and Exchange Commission Filings To the extent permitted by law, the Servicer is authorized to execute and, on the request of the Issuer or the Administrator, will prepare, execute and file, on behalf of the Issuer, any Securities and Exchange Commission filings required to be filed by the Issuer under Section 7.3 of the Indenture.
