(NALT 20[•]-[•] Control Agreement)

2.02 “Financial Assets” Election. The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that each item of property (whether investment property, financial asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to the Reserve Account shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.

2.03 Entitlement Orders. If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any Entitlement Order from the Secured Party with respect to the Reserve Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such Entitlement Order without further consent by the Issuing Entity, the Secured Party or any other Person. If at any time the Secured Party notifies the Securities Intermediary in writing that the Lien of the Indenture has been released, the Securities Intermediary shall thereafter comply with Entitlement Orders with respect to the Reserve Account from the Issuing Entity without further consent by the Secured Party or any other Person.
