Each Definitive Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication. The initial Definitive Certificates delivered at the closing under the Certificate Purchase Agreement shall be registered in such names as are provided pursuant to the Certificate Purchase Agreement.
Section 3.02. Restrictive Legends. All Applicable Certificates issued pursuant to the Agreement shall bear a legend to the following effect (the “Restricted Legend”) except as provided in Section 3.05(a) or unless the Company and the Trustee determine otherwise consistent with applicable law:
THIS CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). YOU, THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING THIS CERTIFICATE, AGREE THAT THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OTHER THAN (1) TO AN INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a)(1), (2), (3) OR (7) OF REGULATION D UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT (UPON DELIVERY TO THE TRUSTEE OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL AND OTHER DOCUMENTATION AS THE TRUSTEE MAY REQUEST), (2) TO A PERSON WHO THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN A
8
TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, (3) IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 903 OR RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (4) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION, (5) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (6) TO SUN COUNTRY, INC. AND, IN EACH OF THE FOREGOING CASES, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE PASS THROUGH TRUST AGREEMENT CONTAINS A PROVISION REQUIRING THE REGISTRAR TO REFUSE TO REGISTER ANY TRANSFER OF THIS CERTIFICATE IN VIOLATION OF THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, IF SUCH HOLDER IS A UNITED STATES PERSON AS DEFINED UNDER SECTION 7701(A)(30) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED, THIS CERTIFICATE MAY ONLY BE TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER UNITED STATES PERSON.
THIS CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN, AND WILL NOT BE, REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN VIOLATION OF SUCH ACT.
Section 3.03. Amendment of Sections 3.04 and 3.05 of the Basic Agreement. Sections 3.04 and 3.05 of this Trust Supplement supersede and replace Sections 3.04 and 3.05 of the Basic Agreement, with respect to the Applicable Trust.
Section 3.04. Transfer and Exchange. The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the office or agency to be maintained by it in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.12 of the Basic Agreement a register (the “Register”) of the Applicable Certificates in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of such Applicable Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of such Applicable Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee shall initially be the registrar (the “Registrar”) for the purpose of registering such Applicable Certificates and transfers and exchanges of such Applicable Certificates as herein provided.
All Applicable Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Applicable Certificates shall be valid obligations of the Applicable Trust, evidencing the same interest therein, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Applicable Certificates surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
9
An Applicable Certificateholder may transfer an Applicable Certificate, in whole or in part in authorized denominations, or request that an Applicable Certificate be exchanged for Applicable Certificates in authorized denominations in an aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest equal to the Fractional Undivided Interest of such Applicable Certificate surrendered for exchange, by surrender of such Applicable Certificate to the Trustee with the form of transfer notice thereon duly completed and executed, and otherwise complying with the terms of the Agreement, including providing evidence of compliance with any restrictions on transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar. No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of an Applicable Certificateholder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register. Prior to the registration of any transfer by an Applicable Certificateholder as provided herein, the Trustee shall treat the person in whose name the Applicable Certificate is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes, and the Trustee shall not be affected by notice to the contrary. When Applicable Certificates are presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer thereof or to exchange them for other authorized denominations of an Applicable Certificate in a Fractional Undivided Interest equal to the aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest of Applicable Certificates surrendered for exchange, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met.
The Registrar shall not register the transfer or exchange of any Applicable Certificate in the name of any Person unless and until the conditions to any such transfer or exchange set forth in Section 3.05 shall have been satisfied.
To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges in accordance with the terms, conditions and restrictions hereof, the Trustee shall execute and authenticate Applicable Certificates at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made to an Applicable Certificateholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Applicable Certificates, but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Applicable Certificates. All Applicable Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee.
Section 3.05. Transfer Provisions.
(a) Restricted Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Applicable Certificates not bearing the Restricted Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Applicable Certificates that do not bear the Restricted Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Applicable Certificates bearing the Restricted Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Applicable Certificates that bear the Restricted Legend unless there is delivered to the Registrar, the Trustee and the Company, such certifications, legal opinions or other information as the Registrar, the Trustee or the Company may reasonably require to confirm that neither such Restricted Legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act.
(b) General. By acceptance of any Applicable Certificate bearing the Restricted Legend, each Holder of such an Applicable Certificate acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Applicable Certificate set forth in the Agreement and agrees that it will transfer such Applicable Certificate only as provided in the Agreement. The Registrar shall not register a transfer of any Applicable Certificate unless such transfer complies with the restrictions on transfer, if any, of such Applicable Certificate set forth in this Agreement. In
10
connection with any transfer of Applicable Certificates, each Applicable Certificateholder agrees by its acceptance of the Applicable Certificates to furnish the Registrar or the Trustee such certifications, legal opinions or other information as either of them may reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Article III; provided that the Registrar shall not be required to determine the sufficiency of any such certifications, legal opinions or other information.
Until such time as no Applicable Certificates remain Outstanding, the Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to this Section 3.05. The Trustee, if not the Registrar at such time, shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.
Section 3.06. [Reserved].
Section 3.07. Adjustments and Additional Restrictions on Transfer Prior to Final Pre-Funding Expiry Date.
(a) Adjustments to Initial Certificates. The face amount of the initial Applicable Certificates issued to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to the Certificate Purchase Agreement shall represent, in the aggregate for each such Initial Purchaser, the full purchase price to be paid under the Certificate Purchase Agreement by such Initial Purchaser for its Applicable Certificates on all Funding Dates, and such purchase prices in the aggregate for all Initial Purchasers equal the maximum aggregate principal amount of Equipment Notes which may be purchased by the Trustee pursuant to the NPA. Accordingly, such face amounts and the Fractional Undivided Interest as set forth in any such initial Applicable Certificate issued to the Initial Purchasers have been determined assuming each Initial Purchaser funds the full maximum amount of its purchase price, and that such purchase price is fully used for the purchase by the Trust of Equipment Notes. If, prior to the Final Prefunding Expiry Date, for any reason any Initial Purchaser does not fund its assumed full purchase price of Applicable Certificates under the Certificate Purchase Agreement, or any such purchase price, once funded, is required to be returned to such Initial Purchaser pursuant to the Certificate Purchase Agreement (any such event, a “Reduction Event” and any such contemplated purchase price amount so not funded by, or so required to be returned to, such Initial Purchaser in connection therewith, the “Reduction Amount”):
(i) the face amount of the initial Applicable Certificates issued to such Initial Purchaser shall, effective upon occurrence such Reduction Event, be deemed permanently reduced by such Reduction Amount (on a pro rata basis, if more than one such initial Applicable Certificate has been so issued to such Initial Purchaser);
(ii) if the Reduction Amount does not affect all Initial Purchasers on a pro rata basis, the Fractional Undivided Interest represented by each Applicable Certificate shall, effective upon occurrence of such Reduction Event, be correspondingly deemed adjusted (by such amount as confirmed by the Trustee); and
11
(iii) promptly following any such Reduction Event, the Trustee will (A) notify the Company and each Initial Purchaser of the occurrence thereof, the related Reduction Amount and, as to any affected Applicable Certificates, the resulting reductions in face amount and changes to Fractional Undivided Interests, and (B) as to each affected Applicable Certificate, record any such reduction in face amount and change to Fractional Undivided Interests in the records maintained by the Trustee (which may be set forth in the Register).
(b) Replacement Applicable Certificates. At any time after the Final Prefunding Expiry Date, for any such affected Applicable Certificate (as to which the face amount has reduced or the Fractional Undivided Interest has been adjusted so as to no longer correspond to the applicable amounts specifically reflected in such Applicable Certificate), the applicable Investor shall have the right to exchange (and if requested by the Company or the Trustee, and otherwise in connection with the first transfer of such Applicable Certificate, shall so exchange) such Applicable Certificate for a replacement Applicable Certificate (or replacement Applicable Certificates in the aggregate) in the reduced face amount and adjusted Fractional Undivided Interest, as applicable, in each case after reflecting all such Reduction Events and applicable Reduction Amounts.
(c) Additional Restrictions on Transfer Prior to Final Prefunding Expiry Date. No transfer of the Applicable Certificates shall be permitted prior to occurrence of the Final Prefunding Expiry Date, unless the Company shall have consented thereto (including for purposes of transfer of applicable commitments under the Certificate Purchase Agreement).
(d) Trustee Records. For each Applicable Certificate issued prior to the Final Prefunding Expiry Date, the Trustee shall maintain applicable records (which may be included in the Register) indicating, and setting forth each applicable adjustment to, the face amount of and Fractional Undivided Interests represented by such Applicable Certificate pursuant to this Section 3.07 (and such face amounts and Fractional Undivided Interest amounts so reflected in the records maintained by the Trustee shall supersede any conflicting amounts set forth in such Applicable Certificate).
(e) Effect on Distributions. If any Reduction Event results in a change in Fractional Undivided Interests of any Applicable Certificates, the Trustee shall, in connection with any distributions by the Trustee to the Certificateholders of interest relating both to the period prior to such change in Fractional Undivided Interests and the period from and after such change, allocate applicable distributions taking into account the Fractional Undivided Interests in effect (and interest accruing) on each day during such period.
(f) Section 3.07 Paragraph. Any Applicable Certificate(s) issued prior to the Final Prefunding Expiry Date shall include the applicable notation (as indicated in the form thereof attached as Exhibit A hereto) indicating that the face amount and Fractional Undivided Interest set forth therein remain subject to adjustment pursuant to, and such Applicable Certificate is subject to the additional restrictions on transfer as set forth in, this Section 3.07 (the “Section 3.07 Paragraph”). Any Applicable Certificate issued pursuant to Section 3.07(c) above after the Final Prefunding Expiry Date shall be issued without such Section 3.07 Paragraph.
