The Lessor and the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to make a transfer or an exchange of any Note for a period of ten days preceding any Scheduled Payment Date with respect thereto.

(d) No notarial act shall be necessary for the transfer or exchange of any Note pursuant to this Section 2.6 or Section 2.7, and the registered holder of any Note issued as provided in this Section 2.6 or Section 2.7 shall be entitled to any and all rights and privileges granted under this Indenture to a Purchaser.
(e) Any Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.6 or Section 2.7 in connection with the presentment or surrender for exchange or transfer of any Note shall be of the same series as the Note so presented or surrendered for exchange or transfer.
SECTION 2.7. Transfers; Assignments and Pledges of Notes. Each Purchaser, by its acceptance thereof, agrees that if such Purchaser shall sell or transfer any Note, such Purchaser shall notify the Lessor and the Indenture Trustee of the name and address of the transferee, and such Purchaser will, prior to the delivery of such Note, make a notation on such Note of the date to which interest has been paid thereon and of the amount of any prepayments made on account of the principal thereof. Any Purchaser may transfer a Note held by it upon the surrender thereof at the principal office of the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that any such transfer shall be made in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable regulations thereunder and any applicable state securities laws but the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to see to compliance with any conditions to transfer of Notes. Thereupon, the Lessor shall execute in the name of the transferee a new Note or Notes in aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Note so surrendered, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such new Note or Notes to such transferee.
SECTION 2.8. The New Notes.

The Indenture Trustee shall xxxx on each New Note (i) the date to which principal and interest have been paid on such Old Note and (ii) all payments and prepayments of principal previously made on such Old Note which are allocable to such New Note. Interest shall be deemed to have been paid on such New Note to the date on which
5
interest shall have been paid on such Old Note, and all payments and prepayments of principal marked on such New Note, as provided in clause (ii) above, shall be deemed to have been made thereon.
(b) Upon the issuance of a New Note pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or (c) or Section 2.7, the Lessor or the Indenture Trustee may require the payment by the Person registering such New Note of a sum to reimburse it for, or to provide it with funds for, the payment of any tax or other governmental charge which is paid or payable by the Lessor or the Indenture Trustee in connection with the transfer or exchange.
(c) All New Notes issued pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or (c) or Section 2.7 in exchange for or in substitution or in lieu of Old Notes shall be valid obligations of the Lessor evidencing the same debt as the Old Notes and shall be entitled to the benefits and security of this Indenture and the other Security Documents to the same extent as the Old Notes.
SECTION 2.9. Cancellation of Notes. All Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, transfer or exchange shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation or, if surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, shall be cancelled by it, and no Notes shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly required or permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall hold all such cancelled Notes until this Indenture shall have been discharged, at which time the Indenture Trustee shall either deliver such cancelled Notes in a manner necessary to effect the discharge and release of this Indenture of record or, if no such delivery is necessary, shall deliver such cancelled Notes to the Lessor. The Indenture Trustee shall deliver a certificate to the Lessor specifying any cancellation of Notes which has been made. If the Lessor shall acquire any of the Notes, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation.

11
instruments as may be advisable, in the judgment of the Indenture Trustee, for the purpose and as may be designated in such request.

SECTION 7.10. Application of Proceeds of Sale. The purchase money proceeds or avails of any such sale, together with any other sums which then may be held by the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture as part of the Properties or the proceeds thereof, whether under the provisions of this Article VII or otherwise, except as otherwise provided by law, shall be distributed as provided in Article VII of the Participation Agreement.
SECTION 7.11. Purchase of Properties. Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Indenture or any of the other Security Documents, whether made under the power of sale herein or therein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, the Indenture Trustee or any Purchaser or Purchasers may bid for and purchase the Properties being sold, and upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such Properties in its or their own absolute right without further accountability; and any purchaser at any such sale may, in paying the purchase price, turn in any of the Notes in lieu of cash to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon. Said Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the registered holders thereof after a notation of such partial payment shall have been made thereon.
SECTION 7.12. Indenture Trustee Entitled to Appointment of Receiver. The Lessor further covenants that upon the happening of any Indenture Event of Default and thereafter during the continuance of such Indenture Event of Default unless the same shall have been waived as hereinafter provided, the Indenture Trustee may, (a) forthwith and without declaring the principal of the Notes to be due and payable, (b) after declaring the same to be due and payable or (c) upon the filing of a xxxx in equity to foreclose this Indenture or to enforce the specific performance hereof or in aid thereof or upon the commencement of any other non-judicial or judicial proceeding to enforce any right of the Indenture Trustee or of the Purchasers, to the appointment of a receiver or receivers of the Properties

and of all the earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and income thereof, with such powers as the court making such appointment shall confer, which may comprise any or all of the powers which the Indenture Trustee is authorized to exercise by the provisions of Section 7.3(b). The Lessor, if requested so to do by the Indenture Trustee, will consent to the appointment of any such receiver as aforesaid.
SECTION 7.13. Indenture Trustee May Enforce Rights Without Notes. All rights of action under this Indenture or under any of the Notes may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes and without the production thereof at any trial or other proceedings relative thereto.

SECTION 7.14. Notice of Event of Default; Waiver; Rescission. The Indenture Trustee shall promptly (and in no event more than three (3) Business Days) after obtaining Actual Knowledge of any Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default give notice thereof to each Purchaser. The Required Purchasers may waive any Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default hereunder and its consequences which result from the failure of the Lessor to comply with any provisions of this Indenture, compliance with which can be waived by such Purchasers pursuant to Section 9.1; and rescind or annul any declaration of maturity made pursuant to Section 7.2; provided, however, that an Indenture Event of Default arising in connection with the payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount, if any, on Notes called for prepayment or interest on the Notes may be so waived but only if, prior to such waiver, all arrears of principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest, and all expenses of the Indenture Trustee and of the Purchasers shall be paid or shall be provided for by deposit with the Indenture Trustee of a sum sufficient to pay the same. In case of any such waiver, or in case any proceedings taken on account of any such Indenture Event of Default shall be discontinued or abandoned or determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee, then and in every such case, the Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and the Purchasers shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder respectively. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
SECTION 7.15. Limitation on Purchasers' Right to Xxx. No Purchaser shall have any right to institute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity growing out of any provision of this Indenture or any of the other Security Documents, or for the foreclosure or enforcement of this Indenture or any of the other Security Documents, unless and until an Indenture Event of Default shall have happened and unless and until such Purchaser shall have previously given to the Indenture Trustee written notice of the happening of such Indenture Event of Default and of the continuance thereof as hereinbefore provided, and also (except as hereinafter provided) unless and until the Required Purchasers shall have made written request upon the Indenture Trustee and shall have afforded to it a period of thirty (30) days to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name, and unless also the Indenture Trustee shall have been offered security and indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Indenture Trustee shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding within a reasonable time after receipt of such notification, request and offer of indemnity; and such notification, request, offer of indemnity and refusal or neglect are hereby declared in every such case to be conditions precedent to the institution by such Purchaser of any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended and being expressly covenanted by each Purchaser with every other Purchaser and with the Indenture Trustee that no one or more Purchasers shall be entitled to take any action or institute any such action, suit or proceeding to enforce the payment of its Notes if and to the extent that the taking of such action or the institution or prosecution of any such action, suit or proceeding or the entry of judgment therein would under applicable law result in a surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture or any of the other Security Documents upon the Properties, or any part thereof, as security for Notes held by any other Purchaser, or shall have any right in any manner
13
whatever to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the other Purchasers, or to enforce any right hereunder, except in the manner herein provided, and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Purchasers.
SECTION 7.16. Remedies Cumulative.

SECTION 7.17. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee, or of any Purchaser, to exercise any right or power accruing upon the occurrence of any Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default, shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Indenture or any of the other Security Documents to the Indenture Trustee or to the Purchasers may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Indenture Trustee or by the Purchasers.
SECTION 7.18. Waiver of Extension; Appraisement, Stay, Laws. The Lessor will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatever claim or take any benefit or advantage of, any stay, valuation or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants and terms of performance of this Indenture or any of the other Security Documents; nor claim, take or insist upon any benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisement of the Properties, or any part thereof, prior to any sale or sales thereof which may be made pursuant to any provision herein contained, or pursuant to the decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction; nor after any such sale or sales, claim or exercise any right under any statute heretofore or hereafter enacted by the United States or by any state or territory, or otherwise, to redeem the Properties so sold or any part thereof; and the Lessor hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, all benefits or advantage of any such law or laws, and covenants not to hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted or delegated to the Indenture Trustee, but to suffer and permit the execution of every power as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted.
SECTION 7.19. Restoration of Positions. If the Indenture Trustee or any Purchaser has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture or any of the other Security Documents by foreclosure, entry or otherwise and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Purchaser, then and in every such case the Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and the Purchasers shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Purchasers shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
SECTION 7.20. [Intentionally Reserved]
SECTION 7.21. Indenture Trustee May File Proofs of Claims. The Indenture Trustee is hereby appointed, and each and every Purchaser, by receiving and holding its Note, shall be conclusively deemed to have appointed the Indenture Trustee the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such Purchaser, with authority to make or file, in its own name as trustee of an express trust or otherwise as it shall deem advisable, in any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, reorganization or other judicial proceedings relative to the Lessor or any other obligor upon the Notes or to their respective creditors or Properties, any and all claims, proofs of debt, petitions, consents, other documents and amendments of any thereof, as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee and of the Purchasers allowed in any such proceeding, and to collect and receive any moneys or other Properties payable or deliverable on any such claim, proof of debt,
14
petition or other document and to distribute the same after the deduction of the charges and expenses of the Indenture Trustee, and to execute and deliver any and all other papers and documents and to do and perform any and all other acts and things, as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to enforce in any such proceedings any of the claims of the Indenture Trustee and of any such Purchasers in respect of any of the Notes; and any receiver, assignee, trustee or debtor in any such proceedings is hereby authorized, and each and every Purchaser, by receiving and holding its Note, shall be deemed to have authorized any such receiver, assignee, trustee or debtor, to make any such payment or delivery to or on the order of the Indenture Trustee, and in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments or deliveries directly to the Purchasers to pay to the Indenture Trustee any amount due it for compensation and expenses, including counsel fees, incurred by it down to the date of such payment or delivery; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize or empower the Indenture Trustee to consent to or accept or adopt, on behalf of any Purchaser, any plan of reorganization or readjustment of the Lessor affecting the Notes or the rights of any Purchaser, or to authorize or empower the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Purchaser in any such proceedings.

ARTICLE VIII
THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE
The Indenture Trustee accepts the trusts hereunder and agrees to perform the same and all other actions to be taken by the Indenture Trustee under the other Security Documents, but only upon the terms and conditions hereof, including the following, to all of which each Purchaser, by its acceptance of its Note, agrees:
SECTION 8.1. Duties of Indenture Trustee. (a) Subject to Section 8.1(b), the Indenture Trustee undertakes (a) except while an Indenture Event of Default of which the Indenture Trustee shall have Actual Knowledge shall have occurred and be continuing, to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and the other Operative Documents to which it is a party, and (b) while an Indenture Event of Default of which the Indenture Trustee shall have Actual Knowledge shall have occurred and be continuing, to exercise such of the rights and powers as are vested in it by this Indenture and the other Operative Documents to which it is a party, and to 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 such person's own affairs.
(b) Subject to the Indenture Trustee having been directed to take such action in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, each Purchaser hereby irrevocably authorizes the Indenture Trustee to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Security Documents and any other instruments, documents and agreements referred to therein and to exercise such powers thereunder as are specifically delegated to the Indenture Trustee by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably authorized to take all actions on behalf of the Purchasers to enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Purchasers provided for in the Security Documents or by applicable law with respect to the Liens upon the Collateral granted to secure the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any Security Documents, (i) except as otherwise provided herein, the Indenture Trustee shall act solely at and in accordance with the written direction of the Required Purchasers,
15
(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not, without the written consent of all of the Purchasers, release or terminate by affirmative action or consent any lien upon or security interest in any Collateral granted under any Security Documents (except (x) upon dispositions of Collateral as permitted in accordance with the terms of the Master Lease prior to the occurrence of an Indenture Event of Default, and (y) upon disposition of such Collateral after an Indenture Event of Default pursuant to direction given under clause (i) hereof), and (iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not accept any Notes in whole or partial consideration for the disposition of any Collateral without the written consent of all of the Purchasers. The Indenture Trustee agrees to make such demands and give such notices under the Security Documents as may be requested by, and to take such action to enforce the Security Documents and to foreclose upon, collect and dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof as may be directed by, the Required Purchasers; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take any action that is contrary to law or the terms of the Security Documents or this Indenture. Once a direction to take any action has been given by the Required Purchasers to the Indenture Trustee, and subject to any other directions which may be given from time to time by the Required Purchasers, decisions regarding the manner in which any such action is to be implemented and conducted (with the exception of any decision to settle, compromise or dismiss any legal proceeding, with or without prejudice) shall be made by the Indenture Trustee, with the assistance and upon the advice of its counsel. Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding sentence, any and all decisions to settle, compromise or dismiss any legal proceeding, with or without prejudice, which implements, approves or results in or has the effect of causing any release, change or occurrence, where such release, change or occurrence otherwise would require unanimous approval of all of the Purchasers pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, also shall require the unanimous approval of all of the Purchasers.
