THIS CERTIFIES THAT __________________________________, a ________________________________, is the registered owner of a nonassessable, fully-paid, undivided beneficial interest in the Series 2013-1 SUBI Assets of GE TF Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”) formed by GE Capital Title Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation, as settlor (“GECTHC” or, in its capacity as settlor thereunder, and, together with any successor or assign, the “Settlor”), GECTHC, as initial beneficiary (together with any successor or assign, the “Initial Beneficiary”) and Wilmington Trust Company, as UTI trustee (in such capacity, together with any successor or permitted assign, the “UTI Trustee”), Delaware trustee (in such capacity, together with any successor or permitted assign the “Delaware Trustee”) and as Administrative Trustee (in such capacity, together with any successor or permitted assign, the “Administrative Trustee,” together with the UTI Trustee, the SUBI Trustee (as defined below) and the Delaware Trustee, the “Trustees”).
Exhibit A-1 |
The Trust was created pursuant to an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2012, among the Delaware Trustee, the UTI Trustee, the Administrative Trustee, the Settlor and the Initial Beneficiary, as supplemented by that certain Series 2013-1 SUBI Supplement to the Trust Agreement (the “Series 2013-1 SUBI Supplement”), and as may be further amended, restated and supplemented from time to time (the “Trust Agreement”), between the Settlor, the Initial Beneficiary, the UTI Trustee, the Administrative Trustee and Wilmington Trust Company, as SUBI Trustee (in such capacity, the “SUBI Trustee). A summary of certain of the pertinent portions of the Trust Agreement is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings set forth in (or by reference in) the Trust Agreement.
This Certificate is the duly authorized certificate issued under the Trust Agreement, and is designated as “GE TF Trust Special Unit of Beneficial Interest Series 2013-1 Certificate.” This Certificate is issued under the Trust Agreement and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such holder is bound. There has also been issued an UTI Certificate (the “UTI Certificate”), and there may also be issued under the Trust Agreement various other series of Certificates representing special units of beneficial interest in the Trust (the “SUBI Certificates” and, together with this Certificate and the UTI Certificate, the “Certificates”). The UTI Certificate evidences an exclusive, undivided interest in the Trust Assets other than SUBI Assets. Each other series of SUBI Certificates will evidence an exclusive undivided interest in a separate SUBI Portfolio (as defined below) other than the Series 2013-1 SUBI Portfolio.
The Trust Agreement provides that, from time to time, certain of the Trust Assets may be identified and allocated on the records of the Trust into one or more separate portfolios of Trust Assets (such assets, “SUBI Assets” and each such portfolio, a “SUBI Portfolio”). The beneficial interest in each such SUBI Portfolio will constitute a separate “special unit of beneficial interest” (“SUBI”) in the Trust. Pursuant to the Series 2013-1 SUBI Supplement, certain SUBI Assets (the “Series 2013-1 SUBI Assets”) were identified and allocated on the records of the Trust into a separate SUBI Portfolio (the “Series 2013-1 SUBI Portfolio”), and the beneficial interest in the Series 2013-1 SUBI Portfolio was designated as a separate SUBI known as the “Series 2013-1 SUBI .” Pursuant to the Series 2013-1 SUBI Supplement, the Initial Beneficiary may from time to time reallocate assets included in the Series 2013-1 SUBI Portfolio to the UTI.
Proceeds on assets included in the Series 2013-1 SUBI Portfolio will be (i) collected pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement of even date, among GE Equipment Transportation LLC, Series 2013-1 (the “Issuer”), the Trust and the Initial Beneficiary and (ii) invested and distributed pursuant to the Indenture of even date, between the Issuer and Citibank, N.A., as indenture trustee. The rights of the holder of this Certificate to the proceeds of the Series 2013-1 SUBI Assets are and will be further set forth in the Trust Agreement.
Exhibit A-2 |
This Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Settlor, any Trustee, the Initial Beneficiary or any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Trust). This Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries with respect to the Series 2013-1 SUBI Assets allocated to the Series 2013-1 SUBI Portfolio, all to the extent and as more specifically set forth in the Trust Agreement. A copy of the Trust Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Administrative Trustee, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Administrative Trustee, by the holder hereof upon request.
By accepting this Certificate, the holder hereof releases (or fully subordinates, but only to the extent such release is not given effect) any claim in respect of this Certificate to any proceeds or assets of the Trust other than those from time to time included within the Series 2013-1 SUBI Portfolio as Series 2013-1 SUBI Assets and those proceeds or assets derived from or earned by such Series 2013-1 SUBI Assets.
The Series 2013-1 SUBI Supplement permits, with certain exceptions provided therein, the amendment of the Trust Agreement, and the modification of the rights and obligations of the parties thereto with respect to the Series 2013-1 SUBI Assets, the Series 2013-1 SUBI Portfolio, the Series 2013-1 SUBI and the rights of the holder of this Certificate at any time by the holder of this Certificate and each of the Trustees. If approval of any holder of this Certificate is required, any such consent shall be conclusive and binding on such holder and on all future holders hereof and of any Certificate issued upon the permitted transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.
The holder of this Certificate (and each pledgee of this Certificate, by virtue of its acceptance of such pledge) covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the date upon which all obligations under each Financing have been paid in full, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Trust, any other Special Purpose Entity, or any general partner of any Special Purpose Entity that is a partnership, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.
No bankruptcy, reorganization arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law shall be instituted by the Trust without the unanimous consent of all of the Trustees. The SUBI Trustee shall not so consent unless directed to do so by the holder of this Certificate, and the Delaware Trustee shall not so consent unless directed to do so by all of the Certificateholders.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of a permitted transfer, the SUBI Trustee, the certificate registrar and any of their respective agents may treat the person or entity in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving distributions and for all other purposes, and, except as provided for in the Trust Agreement, neither the Trustees, the certificate registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
