(b) Not later than the 45th day following the receipt of written notice from the Property Manager pursuant to Section 2.03(e) of the Property Management Agreement that all Lease Files are complete, but in no case later than the 105th day following the Closing Date (and, if any exceptions are noted, again not later than the first anniversary of the Closing Date), the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer, the Property Manager, the Special Servicer, the Insurer and CNL an executed certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 to the effect that, as to each Lease listed on the Mortgaged Property Schedule as of the Closing Date (other than any Lease and the related Mortgaged Property as to which a Liquidation Event has occurred, any Lease and the related Mortgaged Property otherwise disposed of as permitted under the terms of the Property Management Agreement or any Lease or Mortgaged Property specifically identified in any exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents specified in the definition of “Lease File” in the Property Management Agreement are in its possession, (ii) all such documents received by it with respect to such Lease and the related Mortgaged Property have been reviewed by it, appear regular on their face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the related Originator or CNL and the Tenant) and appear to relate to such Lease or the related Mortgaged Property, and (iii) based on the examinations referred to in Section 2.03(a) above and this Section 2.03(b) and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in such Mortgaged Property Schedule with respect to the items specified in clause (i) (except for zip code and only to the extent contained within the Lease) of the definition of “Mortgaged Property Schedule” in the Property Management Agreement accurately reflects the information set forth in the Lease File.
(c) The Indenture Trustee shall not be under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Mortgaged Properties and Leases delivered to it to determine that the same are valid, legal, effective, genuine, enforceable, in recordable form, sufficient or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
The Indenture Trustee shall not assign, sell, dispose of or transfer any interest in the Mortgaged Properties or Leases or any other asset (except as expressly provided herein or as otherwise permitted under the Property Management Agreement) or knowingly permit the Mortgaged Properties or Leases or any other asset included in the Collateral to be subjected to any lien, claim or encumbrance arising by, through or under the Indenture Trustee or any Person claiming by, through or under the Indenture Trustee other than the liens created pursuant to the Mortgages and this Indenture.

(a) At all times during the term of this Indenture, there shall be maintained at the office of the Note Registrar a “Note Register” in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Note Registrar may prescribe, the Note Registrar shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers and exchanges of Notes as herein provided.

(k) The Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall provide to the Issuer upon reasonable written request and at the expense of the requesting party, an updated copy of the Note Register.
(l) Each transferee of a Note or an Ownership Interest therein will be deemed to have represented, warranted and agreed that either (i) such transferee is not a Plan, or a governmental or church plan subject to any federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“substantially similar law”), and is not acquiring such Note or Ownership Interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of, a Plan, or a governmental or church plan subject to substantially similar law, or (ii) its acquisition and continued holding of such Note or Ownership Interest therein will not constitute or otherwise result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or, in the case of a governmental or church plan, any substantially similar law), because of the application of one or more statutory or administrative prohibited transaction exemptions or otherwise.
Section 2.06 Book-Entry Notes.
(a) The Book-Entry Notes shall be delivered as one or more Notes held by the Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to hold such Notes as provided below, the Depository and registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided in Section 2.06(c) below, transfer of such Notes may not be registered by the Note Registrar unless such transfer is to a successor Depository that agrees to hold such Notes for the respective Note Owners with Ownership Interests therein. Except as provided in Section 2.06(c) below, such Note Owners shall hold and transfer their respective Ownership Interests in and to such Notes through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided in Section 2.06(c) below, shall not be entitled to definitive, fully registered Notes (“Definitive Notes”) in respect of such Ownership Interests. All transfers by Note Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Notes to be held by the related transferees as Book-Entry Notes shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing each such Note Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Notes of Note Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures. The Indenture Trustee is hereby initially appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has with the
-28-
Depository authorizing it to act as such. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall have any responsibility to monitor or restrict the transfer of any Book-Entry Note transferable through the book-entry facilities of the Depository. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and, if it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Issuer, the Property Manager and Special Servicer, and, if the Indenture Trustee is not the Book-Entry Custodian, the Indenture Trustee, any other transfer agent (including the Depository or any successor Depository) to act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the Depository or any successor Depository may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by reason of any such appointment of other than the Depository. If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor trustee or, if it so elects, the Depository shall immediately succeed to its predecessor’s duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The Issuer shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Notes held as Book-Entry Notes by the Book-Entry Custodian.
(b) The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Property Manager, the Special Servicer and the Note Registrar may for all purposes, including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Notes, deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Note Owners with respect to such Notes for the purposes of exercising the rights of Noteholders hereunder. The rights of Note Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Notes shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Note Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as holder of the Book-Entry Notes with respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Note Owners. The Indenture Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Noteholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.
(c) If (i)(A) the Issuer advises the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Notes (or any portion thereof), and (B) the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor, or (ii) the Issuer at its option advises the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository with respect to the Book-Entry Notes (or any portion thereof), the Note Registrar shall notify all affected Note Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to such Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Note Registrar of the Book-Entry Notes (or any portion thereof) by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as applicable, and the delivery of registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the Indenture Trustee shall execute, and the Note Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, the Definitive Notes in respect of such Notes to the Note Owners identified in such instructions. None of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Property Manager, the Special Servicer or the Note Registrar shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
(d) Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes for purposes of evidencing ownership of any Notes formerly held as Book-Entry Notes, the registered holders of such Definitive Notes shall be recognized as Noteholders hereunder and, accordingly, shall be entitled directly to receive, payments on, to exercise voting and consent rights with respect to, and to transfer and exchange such Definitive Notes.
-29-
(e) The Issuer shall provide an adequate inventory of Definitive Notes of each Class to the Indenture Trustee.
Section 2.07 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.
If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Note Registrar, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange therefor, a new Note of the same Class and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
If there shall be delivered to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction (including mutilation tantamount to destruction), loss or theft of any Note and the ownership thereof, and (ii) indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to hold each of them and any of their agents harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Note Registrar that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of the same Class, tenor and denomination registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.07, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar may require the payment by the Noteholder of an amount sufficient to pay or discharge any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Authenticating Agent and the Indenture Trustee) in connection therewith.
Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 in lieu of any destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by any Person, and such new Note shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes of its Class duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
Section 2.08 Noteholder Lists.
The Note Registrar shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Noteholders, which list, upon request, will be made available to the Indenture Trustee insofar as the Indenture Trustee is no longer the Note Registrar. Upon written request of any Noteholder made for purposes of communicating with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture, the Note Registrar shall promptly furnish such Noteholder with a list of the other Noteholders of record identified in the Note Register at the time of the request. Every Noteholder, by receiving such
-30-
access, or by receiving a Note or an interest therein, agrees with the Note Registrar that the Note Registrar will not be held accountable in any way by reason of the disclosure of any information as to the names and addresses of any Noteholder regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
Section 2.09 Persons Deemed Owners.
The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and any of their agents, may treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the owner of such Note as of the related Record Date for the purpose of receiving payments of principal, interest and other amounts in respect of such Note and for all other purposes, whether or not such Note shall be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or any agents of any of them, shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 2.10 Payment Account.
(a) On or prior to the date hereof, the Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more segregated trust accounts (collectively, the “Payment Account”) at Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. (or such other financial institution as necessary to ensure that the Payment Account is at all times an Eligible Account or a sub-account of an Eligible Account, in each case subject to an Account Control Agreement) in its name, as Indenture Trustee, bearing a designation clearly indicating that such account and all funds deposited therein are held for the exclusive benefit of the Noteholders, the Insurer and the Issuer as their interests may appear. The Indenture Trustee shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Payment Account, upon receipt, all payments and other collections received from the Property Manager, the Collection Account (including the proceeds of investments therein), or the Insurance Policy Proceeds Account on or in respect of the Mortgaged Properties and Leases subsequent to the commencement of the initial Collection Period. Except as provided in this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, shall have exclusive control and sole right of withdrawal with respect to the Payment Account. Funds in the Payment Account shall not be commingled with any other monies. All monies deposited from time to time in the Payment Account shall be held by and under the control of the Indenture Trustee in the Payment Account for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Insurer and the Issuer as herein provided.
(b) Amounts in the Payment Account may be invested by the Indenture Trustee, at the risk of the Indenture Trustee, only in Permitted Investments that mature, unless payable on demand, no later than the time such funds are required to be withdrawn from the Payment Account pursuant to this Indenture on the first Payment Date to occur after such investment. Interest or other income earned on funds in the Payment Account shall be retained by the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that any losses realized in connection with such investment shall be for the account of the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall deposit the amount of such loss (to the extent not offset by income from other investments) in the Payment Account immediately upon the realization of such loss.
(c) The Indenture Trustee is authorized to make withdrawals from the Payment Account (the order set forth hereafter in this subsection (c) not constituting an order of
-31-
priority for such withdrawals) to make payments on the Notes and to other parties as set forth in the priorities of payments pursuant to Section 2.11(c) of this Indenture, to the Insurer and to the Issuer as provided in Section 2.11 hereof, and neither the Issuer nor the Property Manager shall be permitted to make any withdrawal from the Payment Account.
(d) Upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Section 3.01 of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall pay to the Issuer all amounts, if any, held by it remaining as part of the Collateral.
Section 2.11 Payments on the Notes.
(a) Subject to Section 2.11(c), the Issuer agrees to pay
(i) on each Payment Date prior to the Scheduled Final Payment Date for the Notes (but only to the extent of the Available Amount and any Excess Cash Flow and Additional Servicing Compensation pursuant to Section 2.11(c) of this Indenture, in the case of payments of principal), interest on and principal of the Notes in the amounts and in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 2.11(c); and
(ii) on the Scheduled Final Payment Date, the entire Aggregate Note Principal Balance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a payment to any Holder of a Note of interest, principal or other amounts, or any such payment set aside on the Final Payment Date for such Note as provided in Section 2.11(b), shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture. Pursuant to the Insurance Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to pay the Accrued Liabilities to the Insurer.
(b) With respect to each Payment Date, any interest, principal and other amounts payable on the Notes shall be paid to the Person that is the registered holder thereof at the close of business on the related Record Date; provided, however, that interest, principal and other amounts payable at the Final Payment Date of any Note shall be payable only against surrender thereof at the Indenture Trustee’s Office or such other address as may be specified in the notice of final payment. Payments of interest, principal and other amounts on the Notes shall be made on the applicable Payment Date other than the Final Payment Date, subject to applicable laws and regulations, by wire transfer to such account as such Noteholder shall designate by written instruction received by the Indenture Trustee not later than the Record Date related to the applicable Payment Date or otherwise by check mailed on or before the Payment Date to the Person entitled thereto at such Person’s address appearing on the Note Register as of the related Record Date. The Indenture Trustee shall pay each Note in whole or in part as provided herein on its Final Payment Date in immediately available funds from funds in the Payment Account as promptly as possible after presentation to the Indenture Trustee of such Note at the Indenture Trustee’s Office but shall initiate such payment as soon as possible, but in no event later than the next Business Day after the day of such presentation. If presentation is made after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any day, such presentation shall be deemed to have been made on the immediately succeeding Business Day.
-32-
Each payment with respect to a Book-Entry Note shall be paid to the Depository, as holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such payment to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such payments to the related Note Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the related Note Owners that it represents. None of the parties hereto shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Indenture or applicable law. The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall perform their respective obligations under the Letter of Representations.
Except as provided in the following sentence, if a Note is issued in exchange for any other Note during the period commencing at the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on any Record Date and ending before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related Payment Date, no interest, principal or other amounts will be payable on such Payment Date in respect of such new Note, but will be payable on such Payment Date only in respect of the prior Note. Interest, principal and other amounts payable on any Note issued in exchange for any other Note during the period commencing at the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on the Record Date immediately preceding the Final Payment Date for such Notes and ending on the Final Payment Date for such Notes, shall be payable to the Person that surrenders the new Note as provided in this Section 2.11(b).
All payments of interest, principal and other amounts made with respect to the Notes of any Class will be allocated pro rata among the Outstanding Notes of such Class based on the related Note Principal Balance.
If any Note on which the final payment was due is not presented for payment on its Final Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee shall set aside such payment in a segregated, non-interest bearing account (and shall remain uninvested) separate from the Payment Account but which constitutes an Eligible Account (or a sub-account of an Eligible Account), and the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer shall act in accordance with Section 5.10 in respect of the unclaimed funds.
(c) On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee will apply and will pay the Available Amount (and, with respect to amounts payable under clauses (6)(ii) and (8)(ii) of this Section 2.11(c), amounts on deposit in the Payment Account in respect of Additional Servicing Compensation and Excess Cash Flow) for such Payment Date for the following purposes and in the following order of priority, in each case to the extent of remaining funds:

The Controlling Party shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee under Section 4.04, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee (including, without limitation, the exercise of its rights under any Account Control Agreement), provided that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or involve the Indenture Trustee in personal liability, and provided further that the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Controlling Party will not be required to provide, and the Indenture Trustee will not be required to obtain, a Tax Opinion in the case of a direction by the Controlling Party to the Indenture Trustee, following an Event of Default, to realize upon the Collateral by liquidating the Collateral or otherwise.
Section 4.12 Waiver of Past Defaults.
Prior to the acceleration of the Maturity of the Notes, the Controlling Party may waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default:
(1) in the distribution of principal on or interest on any Note, which waiver shall require the consent by Noteholders holding 100% of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of all Notes affected thereby;
(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article VIII cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected thereby, which waiver shall require the consent by each such Holder;
(3) depriving the Indenture Trustee of a lien on any part the Collateral, which waiver shall require the consent of the Indenture Trustee; or
(4) depriving the Indenture Trustee of any fees, reimbursement, or indemnification, to which the Indenture Trustee is entitled, which waiver shall require the written consent of the Indenture Trustee.
-46-
Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. Any costs or expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with such acceleration and prior to such waiver shall be reimbursable to the Indenture Trustee as an Extraordinary Expense from amounts on deposit in the Payment Account.
Section 4.13 Undertaking for Costs.
All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Noteholder and Note Owner by its acceptance of such Note or an Ownership Interest therein shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses based on time expended, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Issuer, or to any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate at least 25% of the Aggregate Note Principal Balance or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note on or after the Maturity of such Note.
Section 4.14 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.
The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim to take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the exercise of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the exercise of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 4.15 Sale of Collateral.
(a) The power to effect any public or private sale of any portion of the Collateral pursuant to Section 4.03 or 4.04 hereof shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales as to any portion of the Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until either the entire Collateral shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes, to the Insurer, and under this Indenture with respect thereto shall have been paid. The Indenture Trustee may from time to time postpone any sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such sale. The Indenture Trustee hereby expressly waives its right to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any such sale but such waiver does not apply to any amounts to which the Indenture Trustee is otherwise entitled under Section 5.04 of this Indenture.
-47-
(b) Subject to Section 4.15(c), the Indenture Trustee shall not sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof, unless:
(i) the Controlling Party consents to or directs the Indenture Trustee to make the related sales; or
(ii) the proceeds of such liquidation would be greater than or equal to the Aggregate Note Principal Balance plus all accrued and unpaid interest, and any amounts owed to the Insurer.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.15 shall not preclude or limit the ability of the Indenture Trustee or its designee to purchase all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale, public or private, and the purchase by the Indenture Trustee or its designee of all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale shall not be deemed a sale or disposition thereof for purposes of this Section 4.15(b).
(c) In the event that the Notes are not fully paid on the Scheduled Final Payment Date, the Controlling Party shall have the right to control the sale of the Collateral.
(d) In connection with a sale of all or any portion of the Collateral:
(i) any Holder or Holders of Notes or the Insurer may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale, and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property, without further accountability, and may, in paying the purchase money therefor, deliver any Outstanding Notes or claims for interest thereon in lieu of cash up to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon, and such Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the Holders thereof after being appropriately stamped to show such partial payment;
(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver, without recourse, an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Collateral in connection with a sale thereof;
(iii) the Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey the Issuer’s interest in any portion of the Collateral in connection with a sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such sale; and
(iv) no purchaser or transferee at such a sale shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any monies.
Section 4.16 Action on Notes.
The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of the Mortgages and this Indenture nor
-48-
any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Collateral.
ARTICLE V
THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE
Section 5.01 Certain Duties and Responsibilities.
The Issuer hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Indenture Trustee and any Responsible Officer thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in place and stead of the Issuer and in the name of the Issuer or in its own name or in the name of a nominee, from time to time in the Indenture Trustee’s discretion, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Indenture, all as set forth in this Section.
(a) The rights, duties and liabilities of the Indenture Trustee in respect of this Indenture shall be as follows:
(i) The Indenture Trustee shall have the full power and authority to do all things not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture that it may deem advisable in order to enforce the provisions hereof or to take any action with respect to a default or an Event of Default hereunder, or to institute, appear in or defend any suit or other proceeding with respect hereto, or to protect the interests of the Noteholders and the Insurer. The Issuer shall prepare and file or cause to be filed, at the Issuer’s expense, a UCC Financing Statement and any continuation statements, describing the Issuer as debtor, the Indenture Trustee as secured party and the Collateral as the collateral, in all appropriate locations in the State of Delaware promptly following the initial issuance of the Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall prepare and file at each such office continuation statements with respect thereto, in each case within six months prior to each fifth anniversary of the original filing. The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and obligated to make, at the expense of the Issuer, all required filings and refilings of which the Indenture Trustee becomes aware, necessary to preserve the liens created by the Mortgages and this Indenture as provided therein and herein. The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take any action to exercise or enforce the trusts hereby created which, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, shall be likely to involve expense or liability to the Indenture Trustee, unless the Indenture Trustee shall have received an agreement satisfactory to it in its sole reasonable discretion to indemnify it against such liability and expense. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements contained herein, or in any other instruments to be performed or observed by the Issuer.
-49-
(ii) Subject to the other provisions of this Article V, the Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders, or other instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provisions of this Indenture, shall examine them to determine whether they are on their face in the form required by this Indenture to the extent expressly set forth herein. If any such instrument is found on its face not to conform to the requirements of this Indenture in a material manner, the Indenture Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected. The Indenture Trustee shall not incur any liability in acting upon any signature, notice, request, consent, certificate, opinion, or other instrument reasonably believed by it to be genuine. In administering the trusts hereunder, the Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder directly or through its agents or attorneys, provided that it shall remain liable for the acts of all such agents and attorneys. The Indenture Trustee may, at its own expense (except as otherwise provided in Section 5.04), consult with counsel, accountants and other professionals to be selected and employed by it, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of any such Person nor for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(iii) The Indenture Trustee shall not, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.01(a)(i), have any duty to make, arrange or ensure the completion of any recording, filing or registration of any instrument or other document (including any UCC Financing Statements), or any amendments or supplements to any of said instruments or to determine if any such instrument or other document is in a form suitable for recording, filing or registration, and the Indenture Trustee shall not have any duty to make, arrange or ensure the completion of the payment of any fees, charges or taxes in connection therewith.
(iv) Whenever in performing its duties hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Indenture Trustee may, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Indenture Trustee, rely upon (unless other evidence in respect thereof be specifically prescribed herein) an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer GP on behalf of the Issuer, and such Officer’s Certificate shall be full warrant to the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it on the faith thereof.
(v) Except in its capacity as successor to the Property Manager, the Indenture Trustee shall not have any obligations to see to the payment or discharge of any liens (other than the liens of this Indenture and the Mortgages) upon the Collateral, or to see to the application of any payment of the principal of or interest on any note secured thereby or to the delivery or transfer to any Person of any property released from any such lien, or to give notice to or make demand upon any mortgagor, mortgagee, trustor, beneficiary or other Person for the delivery or transfer of any such property. The Indenture Trustee (and any successor trustee or co-trustee in its individual capacity) nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any liens or encumbrances on the Collateral, arising as a
-50-
result of the Indenture Trustee (or such successor trustee or co-trustee, as the case may be) acting negligently, in bad faith or with willful misconduct in its capacity as Indenture Trustee (or such successor trustee or co-trustee, as the case may be).
(vi) The Indenture Trustee shall not be concerned with or accountable to any Person for the use or application of any deposited monies or of any property or securities or the proceeds thereof that shall be released or withdrawn in accordance with the provisions hereof or of any property or securities or the proceeds thereof that shall be released from the lien hereof or thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof or thereof and the Indenture Trustee shall not have any liability for the acts of other parties that are not in accordance with the provisions hereof.
(b) The rights, duties and liabilities of the Indenture Trustee in respect of the Collateral and this Indenture, in addition to those set forth in Section 5.01(a), shall be as follows:
(i) except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Notes, the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee; and
(ii) the Indenture Trustee may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture, to the extent expressly set forth herein.
(c) Subject to Section 4.12 hereof, in case an Event of Default known to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and the Mortgages, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.
(d) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that
(i) this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsections (a), (b) or (c) of this Section;
(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the directions of the
-51-
Controlling Party or Noteholders of more than 50% (unless a lower or higher percentage of Noteholders is expressly permitted or required to authorize such action hereunder, in which case such lower or higher percentage) of the Aggregate Note Principal Balance, as the case may be, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Notes; and
(iv) the Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of a default in the observance of any covenant contained in Section 9.06 or Article X unless either (i) a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge of such default or (ii) written notice of such default shall have been given by the Issuer or by any Noteholder to and received by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee.
(e) The Issuer hereby directs the Indenture Trustee to enter into the Collection Account Agreement and the Lockbox Account Agreement.
Section 5.02 Notice of Defaults.
The Indenture Trustee, promptly but not later than five (5) Business Days after a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee acquires actual knowledge of the occurrence of any default under this Indenture, shall notify the Issuer, the Insurer, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies of any such default (a “Notice of Default”), unless all such defaults known to the Indenture Trustee shall have been cured before the giving of such notice or unless the same is rescinded and annulled, or waived by the Controlling Party pursuant to Section 4.02 or Section 4.12; provided that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice to the Noteholders for a period of no longer than 30 days if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee composed of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Indenture Trustee reasonably and in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the best interest of the Noteholders. For the purpose of this Section 5.02, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.
Section 5.03 Certain Rights of Indenture Trustee.
Subject to the provisions of Section 5.01, in connection with this Indenture:

-52-
(c) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Indenture Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Indenture Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate;

-56-
(c) Subject to Section 5.08(a), the Indenture Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Notes by the Noteholders of a majority of the Aggregate Note Principal Balance and notice of such action by the Noteholders shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer, the Issuer and the Rating Agencies.
(d) If at any time:
(i) the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 5.05, or the representations of the Indenture Trustee in Section 5.06 shall prove to be untrue in any material respect, and the Indenture Trustee shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer GP on behalf of the Issuer or Noteholders of 10% of the Aggregate Note Principal Balance; or

If, within 60 days after such resignation, removal or incapacity, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Indenture Trustee shall not have been appointed by the Issuer GP on behalf of the Issuer and shall not have accepted such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 5.09, then a successor Indenture Trustee shall be appointed by act of the Controlling Party delivered to the Issuer and the retiring Indenture Trustee, and the successor Indenture Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 5.09, become the successor Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes.
If, within 120 days after such resignation, removal or incapacity, or the occurrence of such vacancy, no successor Indenture Trustee shall have been so appointed and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 5.09, the resigning Indenture Trustee may, on its own behalf, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.
(f) The Issuer shall give notice of any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee by giving notice of such event to the Rating Agencies, the Insurer and the Noteholders.

If the Indenture Trustee shall request the Issuer to do so, the Issuer shall join with the Indenture Trustee in the execution of such instrument, but the Indenture Trustee shall have the power to make such appointment without making such request.

(b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent not prohibited by law, be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i) the rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon such separate or co-trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate or co-trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the appointing instrument, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed any nonresident trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Indenture Trustee;
-59-
(ii) all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, in respect of the custody of all cash deposited hereunder shall be exercised solely by the Indenture Trustee; and
(iii) the Indenture Trustee may at any time by written instrument accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee or co-trustee, and, upon the request of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall join with the Indenture Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to make effective such resignation or removal, but the Indenture Trustee shall have the power to accept such resignation or to make such removal without making such request. A successor to a separate trustee or co-trustee so resigning or removed may be appointed in the manner otherwise provided herein.
(c) Such separate trustee or co-trustee, upon acceptance of such trust, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in such instruments, jointly with the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such action as may be necessary to provide for (i) the appropriate interest in the Collateral to be vested in such separate trustee or co-trustee, and (ii) the execution and delivery of any transfer documentation or bond powers that may be necessary to give effect to the transfer of the lien of this Indenture and the Mortgages to the co-trustee. Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, by written instrument constitute the Indenture Trustee, its agent or attorney in fact with full power and authority, to the extent permitted by law, to do all acts and things and exercise all discretion authorized or permitted by it, for and on behalf of it and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall be dissolved, become incapable of acting, resign, be removed or die, all the estates, property, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of said separate trustee or co-trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, without the appointment of a successor to said separate trustee or co-trustee, until the appointment of a successor to said separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary as provided in this Indenture.
(d) Any notice, request or other writing, by or on behalf of the Insurer or any Noteholder, delivered to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to all separate trustees and co-trustees.
(e) Although co-trustees may be jointly liable, no co-trustee or separate trustee shall be severally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any other such trustee hereunder.
(f) No appointment of a separate trustee or co-trustee pursuant to this Section 5.13 shall relieve the Indenture Trustee of any of its obligations, duties or responsibilities hereunder in any way or to any degree.

Section 12.08 Notices to Noteholders; Notification Requirements and Waiver.
Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given if in writing and delivered by courier or mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at its address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is delivered or mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.
In case, by reason of the suspension of regular courier and mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.
Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give any such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute a default or Event of Default.
Section 12.09 Successors and Assigns.

Section 12.10 Interest Charges; Waivers.

If by the terms of this Indenture, the Issuer is at any time required or obligated to pay interest hereunder at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, such rate shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and all previous payments in excess of the maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder.

The Issuer expressly waives presentment, demand, diligence, protest and all notices of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Indenture, except for notices expressly provided for in this Indenture, the Mortgages or the Notes.

The Issuer, a Delaware limited partnership, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, upon presentation and surrender of this Note (this “Note”), the principal sum of [ ] United States dollars ($[ ]) on the Scheduled Final Payment Date referred to above, together with interest hereon from time to time in the amounts and at the times specified in the Indenture referred to below.
This Note is one of a series of Triple Net Lease Mortgage Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) issued by the Issuer in two classes (each, a “Class”) pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of [ ], 2005 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, MBIA Insurance Corporation, as insurer (the “Insurer”), and the Indenture Trustee referred to above, on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes (the “Noteholders”) and the Insurer, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Indenture. This Note is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Indenture, to which Indenture the Holder of this Note by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, payments will be made on the Class of Notes to which this Note belongs, pro rata among the Notes of such Class based on their respective Note Principal Balance, on the 27th day of each month or, if any such day is not a business day, then on the next succeeding business day (each, a “Payment Date”), commencing on the first Payment Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the related Record Date. All payments made under the Indenture on this Note will be made by the Indenture Trustee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Noteholder shall have provided the Indenture Trustee with wiring instructions prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent payments), or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such Noteholder as it appears in the Note Register as of the related Record Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment on this Note will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the offices of the Indenture Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to the Holder hereof of such final payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no payments will be made with respect to a Note that has previously been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence or, with limited exception, that should have been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence.
The Notes are limited in right of payment to certain distributions on the Mortgaged Properties and the Leases and the other Collateral, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Indenture.
Any payment to the Holder of this Note in reduction of the Note Principal Balance hereof is binding on such Holder and all future Holders of this Note and any Note issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such payment is made upon this Note.
A-1-4
The Class of Notes to which this Note belongs are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is exchangeable for new Notes of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Note Principal Balance, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No transfer of this Note or any interest herein may be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. No person is obligated to register or qualify any of the Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Indenture to permit the transfer of any Note or interest therein without registration or qualification.
Each transferee of a Note will be deemed to have represented, warranted and agreed that either (i) such transferee is not a Plan, or a governmental or church plan subject to substantially similar law, and is not acquiring such Note or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of, a Plan, or a governmental or church plan subject to substantially similar law, or (ii) its acquisition and continued holding of such Note or interest therein will not constitute or otherwise result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, (or, in the case of a governmental or church plan, any substantially similar law), because of the application of one or more statutory or administrative prohibited transaction exemptions or otherwise.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the offices of the Note Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Note Principal Balance will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar 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 this Note.
The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and any agent of any thereof may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The Indenture, the Property Management Agreement, the Sale and Contribution Agreement and the Notes are subject to amendment, including by supplemental indenture, from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, including in circumstances which do not require the consent of any or all Noteholders.
A-1-5
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Note Registrar, by manual signature, the Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid for any purpose.
The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the Collateral (to the extent of its rights therein) and the Insurance Policy for payments hereunder.
The Indenture Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Note (other than as to its signature set forth hereon below).
This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (including Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, but otherwise without regard to conflict of laws principles).

The Issuer, a Delaware limited partnership, for value received, hereby promises to pay to [ ] or registered assigns, upon presentation and surrender of this Note (this “Note”), the principal sum of [ ] United States dollars ($[ ]) on the Scheduled Final Payment Date referred to above, together with interest hereon from time to time in the amounts and at the times specified in the Indenture referred to below.
This Note is one of a series of Triple Net Lease Mortgage Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) issued by the Issuer in two classes (each, a “Class”) pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of [ ], 2005 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, MBIA Insurance Corporation, as insurer (the “Insurer”), and the Indenture Trustee referred to above, on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes (the “Noteholders”) and the Insurer, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Indenture. This Note is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Indenture, to which Indenture the Holder of this Note by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, payments will be made on the Class of Notes to which this Note belongs, pro rata among the Notes of such Class based on their respective Note Principal Balance, on the 27th day of each month or, if any such day is not a business day, then on the next succeeding business day (each, a “Payment Date”), commencing on the first Payment Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the related Record Date. All payments made under the Indenture on this Note will be made by the Indenture Trustee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Noteholder shall have provided the Indenture Trustee with wiring instructions prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent payments), or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such Noteholder as it appears in the Note Register as of the related Record Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment on this Note will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the offices of the Indenture Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to the Holder hereof of such final payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no payments will be made with respect to a Note that has previously been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence or, with limited exception, that should have been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence.
The Notes are limited in right of payment to certain distributions on the Mortgaged Properties and the Leases and the other Collateral, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Indenture.
Any payment to the Holder of this Note in reduction of the Note Principal Balance hereof is binding on such Holder and all future Holders of this Note and any Note issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such payment is made upon this Note.
A-3-3
The Class of Notes to which this Note belongs are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is exchangeable for new Notes of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Note Principal Balance, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No transfer of this Note or any interest herein may be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. No person is obligated to register or qualify any of the Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Indenture to permit the transfer of any Note or interest therein without registration or qualification.
Each transferee of a Note will be deemed to have represented, warranted and agreed that either (i) such transferee is not a Plan, or a governmental or church plan subject to substantially similar law, and is not acquiring such Note or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of, a Plan, or a governmental or church plan subject to substantially similar law, or (ii) its acquisition and continued holding of such Note or interest therein will not constitute or otherwise result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, (or, in the case of a governmental or church plan, any substantially similar law), because of the application of one or more statutory or administrative prohibited transaction exemptions or otherwise.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the offices of the Note Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Note Principal Balance will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar 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 this Note.
The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and any agent of any thereof may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The Indenture, the Property Management Agreement, the Sale and Contribution Agreement and the Notes are subject to amendment, including by supplemental indenture, from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, including in circumstances which do not require the consent of any or all Noteholders.
A-3-4
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Note Registrar, by manual signature, the Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid for any purpose.
The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the Collateral (to the extent of its rights therein) and the Insurance Policy for payments hereunder.
The Indenture Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Note (other than as to its signature set forth hereon below).
This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (including Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, but otherwise without regard to conflict of laws principles).

Re: | Net Lease Funding 2005, LP, Triple Net Lease Mortgage Notes, Series 2005 (the “Notes”) |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by (the “Transferor”) to (the “Transferee”) of Class A-[1][2] Notes having an initial aggregate Note Principal Balance as of March 4, 2005 (the “Closing Date”) of $[ ] (the “Transferred Notes”). The Notes, including the Transferred Notes, were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of March 4, 2005 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), among Net Lease Funding 2005, LP, as issuer (the “Issuer”), MBIA Insurance Corporation, as insurer (the “Insurer”), and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”). All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Note Registrar, and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee and the Transferee, that:
1. The Transferor is the lawful owner of the Transferred Notes with the full right to transfer such Notes free from any and all claims and encumbrances whatsoever.
2. Neither the Transferor nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a) offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of any Note, any interest in any Note or any other similar security to any person in any manner, (b) solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of any Note, any interest in any Note or any other similar security from any person in any manner, (c) otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to any Note, any interest in any Note or any other similar security with any person in any manner, (d) made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or (e) taken any other action, which (in the case of any of the acts described in clauses (a) through (e) hereof) would constitute a distribution of any Note under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or would render the disposition of any Note a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state securities laws, or would require registration or qualification of any Note pursuant to the Securities Act or any state securities laws.
C-1-1
[3. The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter reasonably believe that the Transferee is a Non-U.S. Person that is not acquiring the Transferred Notes for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S) and is acquiring the Transferred Notes in an offshore transaction.]
[3. The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter reasonably believe that the Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act (a “Qualified Institutional Buyer”) purchasing for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer. In determining whether the Transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, the Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter have relied upon the following method(s) of establishing the Transferee’s ownership and discretionary investments of securities (check one or more):
(a) The Transferee’s most recent publicly available financial statements, which statements present the information as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Note in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser; or |
(b) The most recent publicly available information appearing in documents filed by the Transferee with the Securities and Exchange Commission or another United States federal, state, or local governmental agency or self-regulatory organization, or with a foreign governmental agency or self-regulatory organization, which information is as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Note in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser; or |
(c) The most recent publicly available information appearing in a recognized securities manual, which information is as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Note in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser; or |
(d) A certification by the chief financial officer, a person fulfilling an equivalent function, or other executive officer of the Transferee, specifying the amount of securities owned and invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee as of a specific date on or since the close of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year, or, in the case of a Transferee that is a member of a “family of investment companies”, as that term is defined in Rule 144A, a certification by an executive officer of the investment adviser specifying the amount of securities owned by the “family of investment companies” as of a specific date on or since the close of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year. |
C-1-2
4. The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor understand that in determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and invested on a discretionary basis by an entity for purposes of establishing whether such entity is a Qualified Institutional Buyer:
(a) | the following instruments and interests shall be excluded: securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee; securities that are part of an unsold allotment to or subscription by the Transferee, if the Transferee is a dealer; securities of issuers that are part of the Transferee’s “family of investment companies”, if the Transferee is a registered investment company; bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit; loan participations; repurchase agreements; securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement; and currency, interest rate and commodity swaps; |
(b) | the aggregate value of the securities shall be the cost of such securities, except where the entity reports its securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities has been published, in which case the securities may be valued at market; |
(c) | securities owned by subsidiaries of the entity that are consolidated with the entity in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles may be included if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the direction of the entity, except that, unless the entity is a reporting company under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, securities owned by such subsidiaries may not be included if the entity itself is a majority-owned subsidiary that would be included in the consolidated financial statements of another enterprise. |
5. The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has taken reasonable steps to ensure that the Transferee is aware that the Transferor is relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by [Rule 144A][Regulation S].
6. The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has furnished, or caused to be furnished, to the Transferee all information regarding (a) the Transferred Notes and payments thereon, (b) the nature and performance of the Leases and the Mortgaged Properties, (c) the Indenture and the Collateral, and (d) any credit enhancement mechanism associated with the Transferred Notes, that the Transferee has requested.

Re: |
Net Lease Funding 2005, LP, Triple Net Lease Mortgage Notes, Series 2005 (the “Notes”) |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by (the “Transferor”) to (the “Transferee”) of Class A-[1][2] Notes (the “Transferred Notes”) having an initial Note Principal Balance as of March 4, 2005 of $[ ]. The Notes, including the Transferred Notes, were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of March 4, 2005 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), among Net Lease Funding 2005, LP, as issuer (the “Issuer”), MBIA Insurance Corporation, as insurer (the “Insurer”), and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”). All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture. The Transferee hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Note Registrar, and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee and the Transferor, that:
1. The Transferee understands that (a) the Transferred Notes have not been and will not be registered or qualified under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities law, (b) none of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee is required to so register or qualify the Transferred Notes, (c) the Transferred Notes may be resold only if registered and qualified pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act or any state securities law, or if an exemption from such registration and qualification is available, (d) the Indenture contains restrictions regarding the transfer of the Transferred Notes and (e) the Transferred Notes will bear a legend to the foregoing effect.
2. The Transferee is acquiring the Transferred Notes for its own account for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof in any manner that would violate the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws.
3. The Transferee is (a) a Non-U.S. Person, is not acquiring the Notes or interests therein for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person (as that term is defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) and is acquiring the Transferred Notes in an offshore transaction; or (b) a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “Qualified Institutional Buyer”) as that term is defined in Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
C-2-1.
“Securities Act”), and has completed one of the forms of certification to that effect attached hereto as Annex 1 and Annex 2. The Transferee is aware that the sale to it of the Transferred Notes is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act, as applicable. The Transferee is acquiring the Transferred Notes for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer or another Non-U.S. Person in an offshore transaction, and understands that such Transferred Notes may be resold, pledged or transferred only (i) to a person reasonably believed to be a Qualified Institutional Buyer that purchases for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, or (ii) pursuant to another exemption from registration under the Securities Act. The Transferee is (a) a substantial, sophisticated institutional investor having such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, and, in particular, in such matters related to securities similar to the Transferred Notes, such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investment in the Transferred Notes, and (b) able to bear the economic risks of such an investment.
4. The Transferee has reviewed and understands the restrictions on transfer of the Transferred Notes and acknowledges that such transfer restrictions may adversely affect the liquidity of the Transferred Notes.
5. The Transferee understands that each Noteholder, by virtue of its acceptance thereof, assents to, and agrees to be bound by, the terms, provisions and conditions of the Indenture, including those relating to the transfer restrictions.
6. The Transferee understands that the information contained in the Memorandum (as defined below) and all such additional information, as well as all information to be received by the Transferee as a Noteholder, is confidential and agrees to keep such information confidential (a) by not disclosing any such information other than to a person who needs to know such information and who has agreed to keep such information confidential and (b) by not using any such information other than for the purpose of evaluating an investment in the Transferred Notes; provided, however, that any such information may be disclosed as required by applicable law if the Issuer is given written notice of such requirement sufficient to enable the Issuer to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy in advance of disclosure.
7. The Transferee has been furnished with, and has had an opportunity to review (a) a copy of the Private Placement Memorandum dated March 1, 2005, relating to the Transferred Notes (the “Memorandum”), (b) a copy of the Indenture and the Transferred Notes and (c) such other information concerning the Transferred Notes and payments thereon, the Mortgaged Properties and Leases and the other Collateral, the Issuer and the Insurer and the Insurance Policy as has been requested by the Transferee from the Issuer or the Transferor and is relevant to the Transferee’s decision to purchase the Transferred Notes. The Transferee has had any questions arising from such review answered by the Issuer or the Transferor to the satisfaction of the Transferee.
8. The Transferee has not and will not nor has it authorized or will it authorize any person to (a) offer, pledge, sell, dispose of or otherwise transfer any Transferred Note, any interest in any Transferred Note or any other similar security from any person in any manner, (b) otherwise approach or negotiate with respect to any Transferred Note, any interest in
C-2-2
any Transferred Note or any other similar security with any person in any manner, (c) make any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner or (d) take any action, that (as to any of (a) through (d) above) would constitute a distribution of any Transferred Note under the Securities Act, that would render the disposition of any Transferred Note a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state securities law, or that would require registration or qualification pursuant thereto. The Transferee will not sell or otherwise transfer any of the Transferred Notes, except to a person reasonably believed to be (x) a Non-U.S. Person that is not acquiring the Transferred Notes for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S) and is acquiring the Transferred Notes or interests therein in an offshore transaction, or (y) a Qualified Institutional Buyer that purchases for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, or otherwise in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Indenture.
9. The Transferee is duly authorized to purchase the Transferred Notes acquired thereby, and its purchase of investments having the characteristics of the Notes acquired thereby is authorized under, and not directly or indirectly in contravention of, any law, charter, trust instrument or other operative document, investment guidelines or list of permissible or impermissible investments applicable to the investor.
10. If the Transferee is acquiring any Transferred Notes or interests therein as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, it has sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and it has full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties and agreements with respect to each such account.
