HABENDUM CLAUSE

 

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD all and singular the aforesaid property unto the Trustee, its successors and assigns, in trust for the benefit and security of the Noteholders from time to time of each class of the Notes, without any priority of any one class of Notes over any other class of Notes by reason of difference in time of issuance or otherwise, except as expressly provided herein, and for the uses and purposes and subject to the terms and provisions set forth in this Indenture.

 

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions or anything to the contrary herein, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Issuer shall have the right, to the exclusion of the Trustee and the Noteholders, to exercise in the Issuer’s name all rights and powers of the Issuer under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Residual License Agreement, the Servicing Agreement and any other agreement to which the Issuer is or may be a party or third party beneficiary (including Principal Documents), except as otherwise set forth in any such agreement, and SUBJECT TO all of the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

 

It is hereby further agreed that any and all property described or referred to in the Granting Clause that is hereafter acquired by the Issuer shall ipso facto, and without any other conveyance, assignment or act on the part of the Issuer or the Trustee, become and be subject to the Security Interest herein granted as fully and completely as though specifically described herein, but nothing contained in this paragraph shall be deemed to modify or change the obligations of the Issuer contained in the foregoing paragraphs.

 

 

The Issuer does hereby ratify and confirm this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and, subject to the other terms of this Indenture, does hereby agree that it will not take or omit to take any action, the taking or omission of which might result in an alteration or impairment of the assignment hereunder or of any of the rights created by any thereof.

 

It is expressly agreed that anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuer shall remain liable under the Transaction Documents and any other contracts and agreements included in the Collateral to the extent set forth therein and shall remain obligated to perform all of the duties and obligations of the Issuer thereunder to the same extent as if this Indenture had not been executed in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and provisions thereof, the exercise by the Trustee of any of its rights hereunder shall not release the Issuer from any of its duties or obligations under any such Transaction Documents or other contracts or agreements included in the Collateral, and, prior to the foreclosure of the lien of this Indenture under Section 4.3, the Trustee and the Noteholders shall have no obligation or liability under any thereof by reason of or arising out of this Indenture or the assignment hereunder, nor shall the Trustee or the Noteholders be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any obligations or duties of the Issuer under or pursuant to any Transaction Document or any other contract or agreement included in the Collateral or, except as herein expressly provided, to make any payment, make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, present or file any claim or take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder or the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times; provided, however, that, in exercising any right of the Issuer under any Transaction Document or any other contract or agreement included in the Collateral, the Trustee and the Noteholders shall be bound by, and shall comply with, the provisions thereof applicable to the Issuer in respect of the exercise of such right and the confidentiality provisions set forth therein.

 

IT IS HEREBY COVENANTED AND AGREED by and between the parties hereto as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

 

Section 1.1 Rules of Construction and Defined Terms. The rules of construction set forth in Annex A shall apply to this Indenture and are hereby incorporated by reference into this Indenture as if set forth fully in this Indenture. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Indenture shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in Annex A, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Indenture as if set forth fully in this Indenture. Not all terms defined in Annex A are used in this Indenture.

 

Section 1.2 Compliance Certificates and Opinions. Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that, in the opinion of the signer thereof in his or her capacity as such, all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with, and an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that, in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

 

 

Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (other than a certificate provided pursuant to Section 5.3) or any indenture supplemental hereto shall include:

 

(a) a statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions in this Indenture relating thereto;

 

(b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

 

(c) a statement that, in the opinion of each such individual in his or her capacity as such, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

 

(d) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

 

Section 1.3 Acts of Noteholders.

 

(a) Any direction, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture in respect of the Notes of any class to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by an agent or proxy duly appointed in writing, and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee or to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose under this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee or the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.3(a).

 

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the certificate of any notary public or other officer of any jurisdiction authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds or administer oaths that the Person executing such instrument acknowledged to him or her the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn to before any such notary or such other officer and, where such execution is by an officer of a corporation or association, trustee of a trust or member of a partnership, on behalf of such corporation, association, trust or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other reasonable manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.

 

 

(c) In determining whether the Noteholders have given any direction, consent, request, demand, authorization, notice, waiver or other Act (a “Direction”) under this Indenture, Notes owned by the Issuer, the Parent or any Affiliate of any such Person shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for purposes of any such determination. In determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such Direction, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if any such Person owns 100% of the Notes of any class Outstanding, such Notes shall not be so disregarded as aforesaid, and (ii) if any amount of Notes of such class so owned by any such Person have been pledged in good faith, such Notes shall not be disregarded as aforesaid if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer, the Parent or an Affiliate of any such Person.

 

(d) The Issuer may, at its option, by delivery of Officer’s Certificate(s) to the Trustee, set a record date other than the Record Date to determine the Noteholders in respect of the Notes of any class entitled to give any Direction in respect of such Notes. Such record date shall be the record date specified in such Officer’s Certificate, which shall be a date not more than 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Noteholders in connection therewith. If such a record date is fixed, such Direction may be given before or after such record date, but only the Noteholders of the applicable class at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Noteholders for the purposes of determining whether Noteholders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Notes of such class have authorized, agreed or consented to such Direction, and for that purpose the Outstanding Notes of such class shall be computed as of such record date; provided, that no such Direction by the Noteholders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than one year after the record date.

 

(e) Any Direction or other action by the Noteholder of any Note shall bind the Noteholder of every Note issued upon the transfer thereof, in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note, and any Direction or other action by the Beneficial Holder of any Beneficial Interest in any Note shall bind any transferee of such Beneficial Interest.

 

ARTICLE II

 

Section 2.1 Amount of Notes; Terms; Form; Execution and Delivery.

 

(a) The Outstanding Principal Balance of any class of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered from time to time under this Indenture shall not exceed, with respect to the Original Class A Notes, the initial Outstanding Principal Balance for the Original Class A Notes set forth in the definition thereof or, with respect to any Class B Notes or any class of Refinancing Notes, the Outstanding Principal Balance authorized in the Manager Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto establishing such Class B Notes or Refinancing Notes; provided, that (i) any Refinancing Notes shall be issued in accordance with Section 2.15 and (ii) any Class B Notes shall be issued in accordance with Section 2.16.

 

 

(b) There shall be issued, authenticated and delivered on the Closing Date and on the date of issuance of any Class B Notes or any Refinancing Notes to each of the Noteholders Notes in the principal amounts and maturities and bearing the interest rates, in each case in registered form and, in the case of the Original Class A Notes, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A or, in the case of any Class B Notes or any Refinancing Notes, substantially in the form set forth in the indenture supplemental hereto pursuant to which such Class B Notes or Refinancing Notes are issued, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved thereon, as may, consistently herewith, be prescribed by the Trustee. The Trustee shall authenticate Notes and make Notes available for delivery only upon the written order of the Issuer signed by a Responsible Officer of the Issuer. Such order shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be authenticated, the date of issue, whether they are to be issued as Global Notes or Definitive Notes and delivery instructions.

 

Definitive Notes of each class shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods, as determined by the Trustee. Any Notes offered and sold to Institutional Accredited Investors that are not QIBs that are not offered and sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of Definitive Notes.

 

Any Notes offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent Global Notes in registered form, substantially in the form set forth in the applicable Exhibit to this Indenture or in any indenture supplemental hereto (each, a “144A Global Note”), registered in the name of the nominee of DTC, deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of each 144A Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the books and records of the Registrar, as hereinafter provided.

 

Any Notes offered and sold to Institutional Accredited Investors in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of one or more temporary global Notes in registered form substantially in the form set forth in the applicable Exhibit to this Indenture or in any indenture supplemental hereto (each, a “Temporary Regulation S Global Note”), registered in the name of the nominee of DTC, deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. At any time following the applicable Regulation S Global Note Exchange Date, upon receipt by the Trustee and the Issuer of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F, executed by Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, together with copies of certificates from Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, certifying that it has received certification of non-U.S. beneficial ownership of a Temporary Regulation S Global Note (or portion thereof) with respect to any Notes to be exchanged, one or more permanent Global Notes for such Notes in registered form substantially in the form set forth in the applicable Exhibit to this Indenture or in any indenture supplemental hereto (each, a “Permanent Regulation S Global Note” and, together with each Temporary Regulation S Global Note, the “Regulation S Global Notes”) duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided shall be deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the Temporary Regulation S Global Note of such class in an amount equal to the principal amount of such Temporary Regulation S Global Note exchanged. Until the Regulation S Global Note Exchange Date with respect to any Temporary Regulation S Global Note, Beneficial Interests in such Temporary Regulation S Global Note may be held only through Agent Members acting for and on behalf of Euroclear and Clearstream.

 

 

Notes, if so provided herein or in any indenture supplemental hereto, shall be issued in the form of permanent certificated Notes in registered form in substantially the form set forth in this Section 2.1(b) (collectively with any definitive, fully registered Notes issued pursuant to Section 2.10(b), the “Definitive Notes”).

 

(c) Interest shall accrue on any class of Fixed Rate Notes from the date of issuance of such Fixed Rate Notes and shall be computed for each Interest Accrual Period on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the Outstanding Principal Balance of such Notes. Interest shall accrue on any class of Floating Rate Notes from the date of issuance of such Floating Rate Notes and shall be computed for each Interest Accrual Period on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in such Interest Accrual Period on the Outstanding Principal Balance of such Notes. If any interest payment is not made when due on a Payment Date, the unpaid portion of such interest payment will accrue interest at the rate then applicable to the Notes, compounded quarterly, until paid in full.

 

(d) On the date of any Refinancing, the Issuer shall issue and deliver, as provided in Section 2.15, an aggregate principal amount of Refinancing Notes having the maturities and bearing the interest rates and such other terms authorized by one or more Manager Resolutions or in any indenture supplemental hereto providing for the issuance of such Refinancing Notes or specified in the form of such Refinancing Notes, in each case in accordance with Section 2.15.

 

(e) On the date of any Class B Issuance, the Issuer shall issue and deliver, as provided in Section 2.16, an aggregate principal amount of Class B Notes having the maturities and bearing the interest rates and such other terms authorized by one or more Manager Resolutions or in any indenture supplemental hereto providing for the issuance of such Class B Notes or specified in the form of such Class B Notes, in each case in accordance with Section 2.16.

 

(f) The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by the manual or facsimile signature of any individual who at the time such Note was executed was authorized to execute such Note by the Manager.

 

(g) Each Note bearing the manual or facsimile signature of any individual who at the time such Note was executed was authorized to execute such Note by the Manager shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that any such individual has ceased to hold such authority thereafter but prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or any payment thereon.

 

 

(h) At any time and from time to time after the execution of any Notes, the Issuer may deliver such Notes to the Trustee for authentication and, subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(i), the Trustee shall authenticate such Notes by manual or facsimile signature upon receipt by it of a written order of the Issuer. The Notes shall be authenticated on behalf of the Trustee by any Responsible Officer of the Trustee.

 

(i) No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless it shall have been executed on behalf of the Issuer as provided in Section 2.1(f) and authenticated by or on behalf of the Trustee as provided in Section 2.1(h). Such signatures shall be conclusive evidence that such Note has been duly executed and authenticated under this Indenture. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

 

Section 2.2 Restrictive Legends. Each Note (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or upon registration of transfer or substitution thereof) shall bear the following legend on the face thereof (the “Private Placement Legend”):

THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, NOR IS SUCH REGISTRATION CONTEMPLATED.

Section 2.3 Registrar and Paying Agent.

 

(a) With respect to each class of Notes, there shall at all times be maintained an office or agency in the location set forth in Section 12.5 where the Notes of such class may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange (including any additional registrar, each, a “Registrar”) and for payment thereof (including any additional paying agent, each, a “Paying Agent”) and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of such Notes may be served. The Trustee shall be the initial Paying Agent and Registrar, and the Issuer shall not be permitted to act as a Paying Agent or a Registrar. The Issuer shall cause each Registrar to keep a register of such class of Notes for which it is acting as Registrar and of their transfer and exchange (the “Register”). Written notice of the location of each such other office or agency and of any change of location thereof shall be given by the Trustee to the Issuer and the Noteholders of such class of Notes. In the event that no such office or agency shall be maintained or no such notice of location or of change of location shall be given, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the Corporate Trust Office.

 

 

(b) Each Authorized Agent in the location set forth in Section 12.5 shall be a bank, trust company or corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the U.S., any state or territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, with a combined capital and surplus of at least $75,000,000 (or having a combined capital and surplus in excess of $5,000,000 and the obligations of which, whether now in existence or hereafter incurred, are fully and unconditionally Guaranteed by a bank, trust company or corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the U.S., any state or territory thereof or of the District of Columbia and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $75,000,000) and shall be authorized under the laws of the U.S., any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia to exercise corporate trust powers, subject to supervision by federal or state authorities (such requirements, the “Eligibility Requirements”). Each Registrar other than the Trustee shall furnish to the Trustee, at least five Business Days prior to each Payment Date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a copy of the Register maintained by such Registrar.

 

(c) Any Person into which any Authorized Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authorized Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of any Authorized Agent (including the administration of the fiduciary relationship contemplated by this Indenture), shall be the successor of such Authorized Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section 2.3, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authorized Agent or such successor Person.

 

(d) Any Authorized Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Issuer. The Issuer may, and at the request of the Trustee shall, at any time terminate the agency of any Authorized Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authorized Agent and to the Trustee. Upon the resignation or termination of an Authorized Agent or if at any time any such Authorized Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section 2.3 (when, in either case, no other Authorized Agent performing the functions of such Authorized Agent shall have been appointed by the Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint one or more qualified successor Authorized Agents, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to perform the functions of the Authorized Agent that has resigned or whose agency has been terminated or who shall have ceased to be eligible under this Section 2.3. The Issuer shall give written notice of any such appointment made by it to the Trustee, and in each case the Trustee shall mail notice of such appointment to all Noteholders of the related class of Notes as their names and addresses appear on the Register for such class of Notes.

 

(e) The Issuer agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, from time to time to each Authorized Agent reasonable compensation for its services and to reimburse it for its reasonable expenses to be agreed to pursuant to separate agreements with each such Authorized Agent.

 

Section 2.4 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Trustee shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that all moneys deposited with any Paying Agent for the purpose of any payment on the Notes shall be deposited and held in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders entitled to such payment, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.4. Moneys so deposited and held in trust shall constitute a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Noteholders with respect to which such money was deposited.

 

 

The Trustee may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

 

Section 2.5 Method of Payment.

 

(a) On each Payment Date, the Trustee shall, or shall instruct a Paying Agent to, pay, to the extent of the Available Collections Amount for such Payment Date and any funds withdrawn from the Interest Reserve Account or the Capital Account by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.8, to the Noteholders all interest, principal and Premium, if any, on each class of Notes in the amounts determined by the Calculation Agent pursuant to Section 3.5; provided, that payment on a Temporary Regulation S Global Note shall be made to the Noteholder thereof only in conformity with Section 2.5(c) and payment on any Note may be deferred as provided in Section 2.5(d). Each payment on any Payment Date other than the final payment with respect to any class of Notes shall be made by the Trustee or Paying Agent to the Noteholders as of the Record Date for such Payment Date. The final payment with respect to any class of Notes, however, shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Note by the Noteholder or its agent at an office or agency of the Trustee or Paying Agent in New York City.

 

(b) At such time, if any, as the Notes of any class are issued in the form of Definitive Notes, payments on a Payment Date shall be made by check mailed to each Noteholder of a Definitive Note on the applicable Record Date at its address appearing on the Register maintained with respect to such class of Notes. Alternatively, upon application in writing to the Trustee, not later than the applicable Record Date, by a Noteholder, subject to Section 2.5(d), any such payments shall be made by wire transfer to an account designated by such Noteholder at a financial institution in New York City; provided, that the final payment for any class of Notes shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of the Definitive Notes of such class by the Noteholder or its agent at an office or agency of the Trustee or Paying Agent in New York City. Payments in respect of the Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, Premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by DTC at a financial institution in New York City.

 

(c) The beneficial owner of a Temporary Regulation S Global Note may arrange to receive payments through Euroclear or Clearstream on such Temporary Regulation S Global Note only after delivery by such beneficial owner to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, of a written certification substantially in the form of Exhibit G and upon delivery by Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to the Paying Agent of a certification or certifications substantially in the form of Exhibit H. No interest shall be paid to any beneficial owner and no interest shall be paid to Euroclear or Clearstream on such beneficial owner’s interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note unless Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, has provided such a certification to the Paying Agent with respect to such interest.

 

 

(d) Not later than five Business Days prior to each Payment Date or any other date on which a Distribution Report is to be distributed to Noteholders and Beneficial Holders pursuant to Section 2.13(a), the Registrar shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prepare a list (the “Approved Holder List”) of each Noteholder and Beneficial Holder as of the related Record Date that has executed and delivered to the Registrar a Confidentiality Agreement, (ii) obtain from DTC a list (the “DTC List”) of the Agent Members holding Beneficial Interests in the Notes as of such Record Date, (iii) obtain from each such Agent Member as of such Record Date the corresponding Beneficial Holders of the Beneficial Interests held by each such Agent Member set forth on the DTC List as of such Record Date and prepare a list thereof and of the Beneficial Interests owned by each such Beneficial Holder (the “Actual Beneficial Holder List”), (iv) prepare a list (the “Escrow List”), if necessary, that identifies any differences between (x) the Noteholders and Beneficial Holders listed on the Approved Holder List and (y)(A) the Noteholders of Definitive Notes set forth in the Register and (B) the Beneficial Holders listed on the Actual Beneficial Holder List (or those Beneficial Holders that the Registrar actually knows have not executed and delivered to the Registrar Confidentiality Agreements), in each case as of such Record Date, and (v) provide the Approved Holder List, the DTC List, the Actual Beneficial Holder List and any Escrow List to the Issuer, the Servicer and the Trustee. Each Noteholder, Agent Member and Beneficial Holder hereby agrees, acknowledges and consents that (I) with respect to a Noteholder of any Notes (other than DTC or its nominee) that as of such Record Date has not executed and delivered to the Registrar a Confidentiality Agreement and, therefore, is listed on the Escrow List, the Trustee promptly (but in no event less than three Business Days prior to the applicable Payment Date) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify such Noteholder of such failure and, on the applicable Payment Date, cause any payment of principal, Premium, if any, or interest on such Notes to be paid directly to the Escrow Account and (II) with respect to a Beneficial Holder of any Beneficial Interest in a Note that as of such Record Date has not executed and delivered to the Registrar a Confidentiality Agreement and, therefore, is listed on the Escrow List, the Trustee promptly (but in no event less than three Business Days prior to the applicable Payment Date) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Beneficial Interest of such Beneficial Holder to be transferred into the name of the Trustee (including the Trustee acting as an Agent Member with respect to such Beneficial Interests) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any payment of principal, Premium, if any, or interest on such Notes or Beneficial Interests received on such Payment Date to be deposited into the Escrow Account upon receipt thereof; provided, that the Record Date for purposes of receiving such payments only and with respect only to such Beneficial Holder shall be changed to the Business Day immediately prior to the related Payment Date. Upon receipt by the Trustee and the Issuer of written notice from the Registrar that the applicable Noteholder or Beneficial Holder has executed and delivered to the Registrar a Confidentiality Agreement, the Trustee will distribute such amounts, without interest, from the Escrow Account to the Trustee for distribution to each such Noteholder or Beneficial Holder, but prior to the receipt thereof the Trustee shall be authorized to treat such purported Noteholder or Beneficial Holder as not being a Noteholder or Beneficial Holder, as the case may be, for purposes of this Indenture.

 

(e) Subject to the application of Section 3.7(b) in respect of the next Payment Date, to the extent that the full amount of any interest due on the Class A Notes is not paid in full on any Payment Date and funds are deposited into the Collection Account following such Payment Date but prior to the third Business Day prior to the immediately succeeding Calculation Date, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the Trustee shall use such funds to pay to the Noteholders of record the overdue interest together with Additional Interest on such overdue interest on or before the third Business Day after such funds are deposited; provided, that all Expenses with respect to such preceding Payment Date contemplated by Section 3.7(a)(i) shall have been paid. With each such payment the Trustee shall furnish a brief statement to Noteholders eligible to receive Distribution Reports in accordance with this Indenture indicating the aggregate amount of funds received and the balance of overdue interest (and interest thereon) to which the payment is being applied. Subject to Section 2.5(d), any such payment shall be made to the Noteholders of record as of the third Business Day preceding the date of each such payment. Any funds that are deposited on or after the third Business Day prior to the immediately succeeding Calculation Date shall be held in the Collection Account and applied in accordance with this Indenture on the next succeeding Payment Date.

 

 

Section 2.6 Minimum Denominations. Each class of Notes shall be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

 

Section 2.7 Transfer and Exchange; Cancellation. The Notes are issuable only in fully registered form without coupons. A Noteholder or a Beneficial Holder may transfer a Note or a Beneficial Interest therein only by written application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of this Indenture, including the requirement for the execution and delivery of a Confidentiality Agreement by such proposed transferee to the Registrar relating to such transfer as set forth in Section 2.11(j). No such transfer shall be effected until, and such proposed transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Noteholder or a Beneficial Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar and confirmation by the Registrar pursuant to Section 2.11(j) that such Noteholder or such Beneficial Holder has executed and delivered an appropriate Confidentiality Agreement to the Registrar.

 

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of a Note and satisfaction of the requirements specified in the last sentence of the preceding paragraph, the Issuer and the Trustee may deem and treat the applicable registered Noteholder as the absolute owner and holder of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to such Note and for all other purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Registrar (if different from the Trustee) shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing and the Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of each request for a registration of transfer of a Note by furnishing the Issuer a copy of such request.

 

Furthermore, any Noteholder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that, subject to Section 2.10(b) and Section 2.11, transfers of Beneficial Interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Noteholder of such Global Note (or its agent) and that ownership of a Beneficial Interest in such Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book-entry system. When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met (including, in the case of a transfer, that such Notes are duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and Registrar duly executed by the Noteholder thereof or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Noteholder). To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. Except as set forth in Section 2.8 and Section 2.9, no service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of the Notes.

 

 

The Registrar shall not be required to exchange or register the transfer of any Notes as above provided during the 15-day period preceding the Final Legal Maturity Date of any such Notes or during a 15-day period preceding the first mailing of any notice of Redemption or Refinancing of Notes to be redeemed or refinanced. The Registrar shall not be required to exchange or register the transfer of any Notes that have been selected, called or are being called for Redemption or Refinancing except, in the case of any Notes where written notice has been given that such Notes are to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed.

 

The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and destroy in accordance with its customary practices in effect from time to time (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) any such Notes, together with any other Notes surrendered to it for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Issuer may not issue new Notes (other than Refinancing Notes issued in connection with any Refinancing) to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

 

Section 2.8 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If any Note shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer shall, upon the written request of the Noteholder thereof and presentation of the Note or satisfactory evidence of destruction, loss or theft thereof to the Trustee or Registrar and a confirmation by the Registrar to the Trustee that such Noteholder (or Beneficial Holder of the Beneficial Interest therein) has executed and delivered to the Registrar a Confidentiality Agreement, issue, and the Trustee shall authenticate and the Trustee or Registrar shall deliver in exchange therefor or in replacement thereof, a new Note, payable to such Noteholder in the same principal amount, of the same maturity, with the same payment schedule, bearing the same interest rate and dated the date of its authentication. If the Note being replaced has become mutilated, such Note shall be surrendered to the Trustee or the Registrar and forwarded to the Issuer by the Trustee or such Registrar. If the Note being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the Noteholder thereof shall furnish to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Registrar (a) such security or indemnity as may be required by the Issuer, the Trustee and the Registrar to save each of them harmless (an unsecured indemnity from any QIB being satisfactory security or indemnity) and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Registrar of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof (an affidavit from any QIB being satisfactory evidence). The Noteholders will be required to pay any Tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection with such exchange or replacement and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Registrar) connected therewith.

 

Section 2.9 Payments of Transfer Taxes. Upon the transfer of any Note or Notes pursuant to Section 2.7, the Issuer or the Trustee may require from the party requesting such new Note or Notes payment of a sum to reimburse the Issuer or the Trustee for, or to provide funds for the payment of, any transfer Tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

 

Section 2.10 Book-Entry Provisions.

 

(a) Global Notes shall (i) be registered in the name of DTC or a nominee of DTC, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for DTC and (iii) bear the Private Placement Legend. In accordance with the requirements of DTC, the Issuer will cause the Trustee to authenticate an additional Global Note or additional Global Notes in the appropriate principal amount such that no Global Note may exceed an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000 at any time.

 

Members of, or participants in, DTC (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by DTC, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under such Global Note, and DTC may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.

 

Whenever notice or other communication to the Noteholders of any class of Global Notes is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued pursuant to Section 2.10(b), the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Noteholders of such class of Global Notes to DTC and/or the Agent Members, and shall make available additional copies as requested by such Agent Members, subject to the limitations on distribution contained in Section 2.13.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC or impair, as between DTC and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Noteholder under any Global Note. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay by DTC in identifying the Agent Members in respect of the Global Notes, and the Issuer and the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, instructions from DTC for all purposes (including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of any Global Notes to be issued).

 

(b) Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but not in part, to DTC, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of Agent Members in a Global Note may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of DTC and the provisions of Section 2.11. Except as set forth in Section 2.11(a), Definitive Notes shall be issued to the individual Agent Members or Beneficial Holders or their nominees in exchange for their Beneficial Interests in a Global Note with respect to any class of Notes only if (i) the Issuer advises the Trustee in writing that DTC is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as depositary with respect to such class of Notes and the Trustee or the Issuer is unable to appoint a qualified successor within 90 days of such notice, (ii) the Issuer, at its option, elects to terminate the book-entry system through DTC or (iii) during the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to such class of Notes, Noteholders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of such class of Notes advise the Issuer, the Trustee and DTC through the Agent Members in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through DTC (or a successor thereto) is no longer in the best interests of the Noteholders of such class. Upon the occurrence of any event described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee shall notify all affected Noteholders of such class, through DTC, of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes of such class; provided, however, that in no event shall the Temporary Regulation S Global Note be exchanged for Definitive Notes prior to the later of (x) the Regulation S Global Note Exchange Date and (y) the date of receipt by the Issuer of any certificates determined by it to be required pursuant to Rule 903 or 904 under the Securities Act. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Global Notes of such class held by DTC, accompanied by registration instructions from DTC for registration of Definitive Notes, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Definitive Notes of such class to the Agent Members and Beneficial Holders of such class or their nominees in accordance with the instructions of DTC.

 

 

None of the Issuer, the Registrar, the Paying Agent or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such registration instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes of such class, the Trustee shall recognize the Persons in whose name the Definitive Notes are registered in the Register as Noteholders hereunder. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be liable if the Trustee or the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor to DTC.

 

Definitive Notes of any class will be freely transferable and exchangeable for Definitive Notes of the same class at the office of the Trustee or the office of the Registrar upon compliance with the requirements set forth herein. In the case of a transfer of only part of a holding of Definitive Notes, a new Definitive Note shall be issued to the transferee in respect of the part transferred and a new Definitive Note in respect of the balance of the holding not transferred shall be issued to the transferor and may be obtained at the office of the applicable Registrar.

 

(c) Any Beneficial Interest in one of the Global Notes as to any class that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in such other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to Beneficial Interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest.

 

(d) Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.10(b) shall bear the Private Placement Legend applicable to a Global Note.

 

Section 2.11 Special Transfer Provisions.

 

(a) The following provisions shall apply with respect to any proposed transfer of a Beneficial Interest in a 144A Global Note, a Permanent Regulation S Global Note or a Definitive Note to any Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a QIB (excluding Non-U.S. Persons) prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date:

 

(i) The Registrar shall register the transfer of any Definitive Note if the proposed transferee has delivered to the Registrar (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J (such certificate also to be delivered to the Issuer), (B) an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the Issuer that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and (C) a Confidentiality Agreement duly executed by such transferee.

(f) Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear the Private Placement Legend.

 

(g) By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Private Placement Legend, each Noteholder of such Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note (or the Beneficial Interest therein) only as provided in this Indenture and in accordance with the Private Placement Legend. The Registrar shall not register or reflect on its books and records a transfer of any Note (or any Beneficial Interest therein) unless such transfer complies with the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in accordance with the Private Placement Legend. In connection with any transfer of Notes (or Beneficial Interests therein), each Noteholder (or Beneficial Holder) agrees by its acceptance of the Notes (or Beneficial Interests therein) to furnish the Trustee the certifications and legal opinions described herein 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; provided, that the Trustee shall not be required to determine (but may rely on a determination made by the Issuer with respect to) the sufficiency of any such legal opinions.

 

 

(h) The Notes shall be issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. The Issuer agrees that it will not at any time (i) apply to list, list or list upon notice of issuance, (ii) consent to or authorize an application for the listing or the listing of, or (iii) enable or authorize the trading of, the Notes on an established securities market, including (w) a national securities exchange registered under the Exchange Act or exempted from registration because of the limited volume of transactions, (x) a foreign securities exchange that, under the law of the jurisdiction where it is organized, satisfies regulatory requirements that are analogous to the regulatory requirements under the Exchange Act applicable to exchanges described in Section 2.11(h)(w), (y) a regional or local exchange or (z) an over-the-counter market, as the term “established securities market” and the terms in this Section 2.11(h) are defined for purposes of Section 7704 of the Code.

 

(i) The Trustee shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.10 or this Section 2.11.

(j) Each Noteholder, Agent Member and Beneficial Holder agrees, by acceptance of any Note or any Beneficial Interest therein, that it will not take any action to transfer any Note (or any Beneficial Interest therein) to a proposed transferee without causing such proposed transferee to execute and deliver to the Registrar an appropriate Confidentiality Agreement relating to such transfer as set forth in this Section 2.11. After the Closing Date with respect to the Original Class A Notes (or the date of issuance with respect to any Class B Notes or any Refinancing Notes), forms of Confidentiality Agreements will be available to Noteholders, Agent Members and Beneficial Holders and proposed transferees of the Notes (or the Beneficial Interests therein) from the Registrar, initially at the Corporate Trust Office. Each such Confidentiality Agreement shall be delivered to the Registrar promptly upon execution by the parties thereto and the Registrar shall record the receipt of such Confidentiality Agreement. The Registrar shall promptly, but in any event no later than two Business Days after receipt of any such executed Confidentiality Agreement, furnish a copy of such executed Confidentiality Agreement to the Trustee, the Issuer and the Servicer and shall maintain a list of proposed transferees (including Noteholders and Beneficial Holders) who have furnished such executed Confidentiality Agreements, whether or not such proposed transferees purchase any Notes (or any Beneficial Interests therein), and make such list available for inspection at the request of the Trustee, the Issuer or the Servicer.

 

(k) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Indenture to the contrary, any Noteholder or Beneficial Holder may assign a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of the Notes (or any interest therein) held by it to a trustee (or other similar representative) under any indenture, loan agreement or similar agreement to which such Noteholder or Beneficial Holder is party in support of any obligations of such Noteholder or Beneficial Holder to a holder or holders of securities or other obligations issued by such Noteholder or Beneficial Holder; provided, that no such assignment or pledge shall release the assigning or pledging Noteholder or Beneficial Holder from its obligations hereunder.

 

 

Section 2.12 Temporary Definitive Notes. Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes of any class, the Issuer may execute and the Trustee may authenticate and deliver temporary Definitive Notes of such class that are printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in any denomination, containing substantially the same terms and provisions as are set forth in the applicable Exhibit or in any indenture supplemental hereto, except for such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations relating to their temporary nature as the Manager executing such temporary Definitive Notes may determine, as evidenced by his or her execution of such temporary Definitive Notes.

 

If temporary Definitive Notes of any class are issued, the Issuer shall cause such Definitive Notes of such class to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Notes of such class, the temporary Definitive Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of such temporary Definitive Notes at the Corporate Trust Office, without charge to the Noteholder thereof. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Definitive Notes of any class, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor Definitive Notes of like class, in authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amounts. Until so exchanged, such temporary Definitive Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.

 

Section 2.13 Statements to Noteholders.

 

(a) On each Payment Date and any other date for distribution of any payments with respect to any class of Notes then Outstanding, the Trustee shall deliver a report, covering the information set forth in Exhibit D and prepared by the Servicer, giving effect to such payments (each, a “Distribution Report”), to (i) each Noteholder and Beneficial Holder included on the Approved Holder List (and not to any Noteholder or Beneficial Holder not included on the Approved Holder List), (ii) the Issuer, (iii) the Calculation Agent and (iv) the Parent, and to no other Person. Each Noteholder and Beneficial Holder shall be entitled to receive the Distribution Report only if such Noteholder or Beneficial Holder has executed and delivered to the Registrar a Confidentiality Agreement.

 

(b) Each Distribution Report provided to each Noteholder and Beneficial Holder by the Trustee for each Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.13(a), commencing May 15, 2008, shall be accompanied by (i) a statement prepared by the Servicer setting forth an analysis of the Collection Account activity for the period commencing on the day next following the preceding Calculation Date and ending on the Calculation Date relating to such Payment Date, which shall set forth, among other things, the aggregate amount payable to Pfizer and certain other third parties entitled to royalties in respect of Subject Products set forth in the report contemplated by Section 4.1(c)(xi) of the Servicing Agreement, (ii) such information, if any, that the Parent shall have provided to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement during the Interest Accrual Period then ended and (iii) the information, if any, that the Issuer shall have provided to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.3 (or the Servicer shall have provided to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Servicing Agreement) during the Interest Accrual Period then ended.

 

 

(c) After the end of each calendar year but not later than the latest date permitted by law, the Trustee shall (or shall instruct any Paying Agent to) furnish to each Person who at any time during such calendar year was a Noteholder of any class of Notes a statement (for example, a Form 1099 or any other means required by law) prepared by the Trustee containing the sum of the amounts determined pursuant to the information covered by Exhibit D with respect to the class of Notes for such calendar year or, in the event such Person was a Noteholder of any class of Notes during only a portion of such calendar year, for the applicable portion of such calendar year, and such other items as are readily available to the Trustee and that a Noteholder shall reasonably request as necessary for the purpose of such Noteholder’s preparation of its U.S. federal income or other tax returns. So long as any of the Notes are registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, such report and such other items will be prepared on the basis of such information supplied to the Trustee by DTC and the Agent Members and will be delivered by the Trustee to DTC and by DTC to the applicable Beneficial Holders in the manner described above. In the event that any such information has been provided by any Paying Agent directly to such Person through other tax-related reports or otherwise, the Trustee in its capacity as Paying Agent shall not be obligated to comply with such request for information.

 

(d) At such time, if any, as the Notes of any class are issued in the form of Definitive Notes, the Trustee shall prepare and deliver the information described in Section 2.13(c) to each Noteholder of a Definitive Note of such class for the relevant period of registered ownership of such Definitive Note as appears on the books and records of the Trustee, subject to confirmation that each such Noteholder has executed and delivered to the Registrar a Confidentiality Agreement.

 

(e) The Trustee shall be at liberty to sanction any method of giving notice to the Noteholders of any class if, in its opinion, such method is reasonable, having regard to the number and identity of the Noteholders of such class and/or to market practice then prevailing, is in the best interests of the Noteholders of such class, and any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on such date as the Trustee may approve; provided, that notice of such method is given to the Noteholders of such class in such manner as the Trustee shall require.

 

Section 2.14 CUSIP, CINS, ISIN and Private Placement Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP, CINS, ISIN, private placement or other identification numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use such CUSIP, CINS, ISIN, private placement or other identification numbers, as the case may be, in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Noteholders; provided, that any such notice shall state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes; provided, further, that failure to use CUSIP, CINS, ISIN, private placement or other identification numbers in any notice of redemption or exchange shall not affect the validity or sufficiency of such notice.

 

 

Section 2.15 Refinancing Notes.

 

(a) Subject to Section 2.15(b), Section 2.15(c) and Section 2.15(d), the Issuer may issue Refinancing Notes pursuant to this Indenture for the purpose of refinancing all of the Outstanding Principal Balance of any class of Notes (including a refinancing of Refinancing Notes). Each refinancing of any class of Notes with the proceeds of an offering of Refinancing Notes (a “Refinancing”) shall be authorized pursuant to one or more Manager Resolutions. Each Refinancing Note shall be designated generally as a Note for all purposes under this Indenture, with such further designations added or incorporated in such title as specified in the related Manager Resolution or in any indenture supplemental hereto providing for the issuance of such Notes or specified in the form of such Notes, as the case may be. The Refinancing Notes shall be issued on the Payment Date on which the Redemption in whole of the class of Notes being refinanced is to occur as provided in Section 3.11.

 

(b) A Refinancing of any class of Notes shall be effected as a Redemption pursuant to Section 3.10, provided that a Refinancing of the Original Class A Notes shall be effected as an Optional Redemption pursuant to Section 3.10(b). On the date of any Refinancing, the Issuer shall issue and sell an aggregate principal amount of Refinancing Notes (when added to the Available Collections Amount and any funds in the Interest Reserve Account, the Redemption Account or the Capital Account used or to be used in connection with such Refinancing) not less than the amount sufficient to pay in full the applicable Redemption Price of the Notes being refinanced in whole thereby plus the Refinancing Expenses relating thereto. The proceeds of each sale of Refinancing Notes shall be used to the extent necessary to make the deposit required by Section 3.11 and to pay such Refinancing Expenses. Subject to Section 3.11(b), once a notice of a Redemption in respect of any Refinancing is published in accordance with Section 3.11(a), each class of Notes to which such notice applies shall become due and payable on the Refinancing Date stated in such notice at their Redemption Price.

 

(c) Each Refinancing Note shall contain such terms as may be established in or pursuant to the related Manager Resolution (subject to Section 2.1) or in any indenture supplemental hereto providing for the issuance of such Notes or specified in the form of such Notes to the extent permitted below.

(ii) the aggregate principal amount of each class of Refinancing Notes that may be issued in respect of such Refinancing;

 

(iii) the proposed date of such Refinancing;

 

(iv) the Final Legal Maturity Date of each class of such Refinancing Notes;

 

 

(v) the rate at which such Refinancing Notes shall bear interest or the method by which such rate shall be determined;

(viii) any other terms, conditions, rights and preferences (or limitations on such rights and preferences) relating to the class of Refinancing Notes (which terms shall comply with Applicable Law and not violate any restrictions of this Indenture).

 

(d) If any of the terms of any issue of Refinancing Notes are established by action taken pursuant to one or more Manager Resolutions, such Manager Resolutions shall be delivered to the Trustee setting forth the terms of such Refinancing Notes.

 

Section 2.16 Class B Notes.

 

(a) Subject to Section 2.16(b), Section 2.16(c) and Section 2.16(d), the Issuer may issue Class B Notes pursuant to this Indenture (a “Class B Issuance”) for any purpose, including, at the option of the Issuer, for the purpose of funding a redemption of the Class A Notes, in whole or in part. Each Class B Issuance shall be authorized pursuant to one or more Manager Resolutions. Each Class B Note shall be designated generally as a Note for all purposes under this Indenture. Each Class B Note shall have such further designations added or incorporated in such title as specified in the related Manager Resolution or in any indenture supplemental hereto providing for the issuance of such Notes or specified in the form of such Notes, as the case may be. There are no limitations on the use of proceeds from the issuance of such Class B Notes. If the proceeds of the Class B Notes are being used to redeem the Class A Notes, in whole or in part, the Class B Notes shall be issued on the Payment Date on which the Optional Redemption of the Class A Notes being refinanced is to occur as provided in Section 3.11.

 

(b) If the proceeds of the Class B Notes are being used to redeem any Class A Notes, such redemption shall be effected as an Optional Redemption pursuant to Section 3.10. On the date of any such Optional Redemption, the Issuer shall issue and sell an aggregate principal amount of Class B Notes in an amount not less than the amount sufficient to pay in full the applicable Redemption Price of the Notes being redeemed thereby plus the Transaction Expenses relating thereto. The proceeds of each sale of Class B Notes shall be used to make the deposit required by Section 3.11, to the extent applicable, to pay such Transaction Expenses and/or for such other purposes, if any, as shall be specified in the Manager Resolution authorizing the issuance of such Class B Notes. Subject to Section 3.11(b), once a notice of Redemption in respect of any Class B Issuance is published in accordance with Section 3.11(a), each class of Notes to which such notice applies shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date stated in such notice at their Redemption Price.

(ii) the proposed date of such Class B Issuance;

 

(iii) the Final Legal Maturity Date of any such Class B Notes;

 

(iv) whether any such Class B Notes are to have the benefit of any reserve account and, if so, the amount and terms thereof;

 

(v) the rate at which such Class B Notes shall bear interest or the method by which such rate shall be determined;

 

(vi) the denomination or denominations in which such Class B Notes shall be issuable;

 

(vii) whether any such Class B Notes are to be issuable initially in temporary or permanent global form and, if so, whether beneficial owners of interests in any such permanent global Class B Note may exchange such interests for Class B Notes of like tenor and of any authorized form and denomination and the circumstances under which any such exchanges may occur, if other than in the manner provided in Section 2.7, and the circumstances under which and the place or places where any such exchanges may be made and the identity of any initial depositary therefor; and

 

(viii) any other terms, conditions, rights and preferences (or limitations on such rights and preferences) relating to Class B Notes (which terms shall comply with Applicable Law and not violate any restrictions of this Indenture).

 

(d) If any of the terms of any issue of Class B Notes are established by action taken pursuant to one or more Manager Resolutions, such Manager Resolutions shall be delivered to the Trustee setting forth the terms of such Class B Notes.

The Issuer shall not issue, and the Registrar shall not issue, and exchange or register the transfer of, any Note, if, immediately after such issuance, exchange or transfer, there would be more than 95 Noteholders (for purposes of Notes that are Definitive Notes) and Beneficial Holders (for purposes of Notes that are Global Notes), taken together in the aggregate, and any purported exchange or transfer in violation of this Section 2.17 shall be void ab initio and result in the purported Noteholder or Beneficial Holder not being treated as a Noteholder or Beneficial Holder, as the case may be, for purposes of this Indenture.

 

ARTICLE III

 

Section 3.1 Establishment of Accounts.

 

(a) Pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, the Issuer will cause the Servicer, acting on behalf of the Issuer, to establish and maintain with the Operating Bank on its books and records in the name of the Issuer, subject to the Liens established under this Indenture, (i) a collection account (the “Collection Account”), (ii) if applicable, a redemption account (the “Redemption Account”), (iii) a capital contribution account (the “Capital Account”), (iv) if applicable, an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”), (v) an interest reserve account (the “Interest Reserve Account”) and (vi) any additional accounts the establishment of which is set forth in a Manager Resolution delivered by the Issuer to the Servicer and the Trustee, in each case at such time as is set forth in this Section 3.1 or in such Manager Resolution.

 

(b) Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Indenture, the Issuer has granted to the Trustee a security interest in the Collection Account, the Redemption Account, the Capital Account, the Escrow Account and the Interest Reserve Account (collectively, the “Controlled Accounts”) and all payments deposited in the Controlled Accounts.

 

(c) The Operating Bank acknowledges that (i) the Issuer has granted a security interest in all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in and to any funds from time to time on deposit in, and all funds credited to, the Controlled Accounts, (ii) prior to the satisfaction of the Secured Obligations, the Trustee shall have sole dominion and control over the Controlled Accounts (including, among other things, the sole power to direct withdrawals or transfers from the Controlled Accounts and to direct the investment and reinvestment of funds in the Accounts, subject to Section 3.2) and (iii) the Operating Bank shall transfer funds from the Controlled Accounts in accordance with the Trustee’s instructions until the satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.

 

(d) The Trustee shall make withdrawals and transfers from the Accounts in accordance with the terms of this Indenture based on the Relevant Information and as calculated by it pursuant to this Indenture. Each of the Issuer and the Trustee acknowledges and agrees that each of the Controlled Accounts is a “deposit account” within the meaning of Section 9-102 of the UCC, that the Operating Bank is acting as a “bank” within the meaning of Section 9-102 of the UCC and that the Trustee has “control”, for purposes of Section 9-314 of the UCC, of the Controlled Accounts that are maintained with the Operating Bank. The Operating Bank agrees that the State of New York shall be deemed to be the “bank’s jurisdiction” within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC.

 

 

(e) The Issuer agrees that, if any Controlled Account is established or maintained with any Operating Bank other than the Trustee, the Issuer shall cause (or direct the Servicer to cause) such Operating Bank to enter into an agreement with the Trustee, the Issuer and the Servicer pursuant to which such Operating Bank agrees to comply with any and all instructions of the Trustee directing the disposition, investment and reinvestment of funds in all Controlled Accounts maintained with such Operating Bank without the further consent of the Issuer or the Servicer, and the Issuer shall take such other actions as are reasonably required by the Trustee to establish its “control”, for purposes of Section 9-314 of the UCC, over any such Accounts.

 

(f) If, at any time, any Controlled Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Issuer will cause the Servicer or an agent thereof, within ten Business Days, to establish a new Controlled Account meeting the conditions set forth in this Section 3.1 in respect of such Controlled Account and transfer any cash or investments in the existing Controlled Account to such new Controlled Account, and, from the date such new Controlled Account is established, it shall have the same designation as the existing Controlled Account. If the Operating Bank should change at any time, then the Issuer will cause the Servicer, acting on behalf of the Issuer, to thereupon promptly establish replacement Controlled Accounts as necessary at the successor Operating Bank and transfer the balance of funds in each Controlled Account then maintained at the former Operating Bank pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement to such successor Operating Bank.

 

(g) The Issuer will cause the Servicer to establish and maintain the Collection Account at the Operating Bank not later than the Closing Date, and the Collection Account shall bear a designation clearly indicating that the funds or other assets deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Trustee. Except as expressly provided herein, all Collections shall be deposited in the Collection Account and transferred therefrom in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. No funds shall be deposited in the Collection Account that do not constitute Collections except as expressly provided in this Indenture without the prior written consent of the Trustee.

 

(h) Upon receipt of written notice of a Redemption of any class of Notes, the Issuer will cause the Servicer to establish and maintain a Redemption Account at the Operating Bank that shall bear a description clearly indicating that the funds or other assets deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Trustee, who shall hold such amounts for the benefit of the Noteholders of Notes that are the subject of such Redemption. All amounts received for the purpose of any such Redemption shall be deposited in such Redemption Account and shall be held in such Account until such amounts are applied to pay the Redemption Price of such Notes (together with related Expenses) and such Notes are cancelled by the Trustee.

If mailed in the manner herein provided, the notice shall be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not the Noteholder receives such notice. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice shall not affect the validity of the notice.

 

 

(b) If, at the time of the mailing of any notice in respect of a Redemption, the Issuer shall not have irrevocably directed the Trustee to apply funds then on deposit with the Trustee or held by the Issuer and available to be used for such Redemption to redeem all of the Notes called for Redemption, such notice, at the election of the Issuer, may state that it is conditional and subject to the receipt of the redemption moneys in an amount sufficient to pay the principal and premium, if any, and interest on Notes being redeemed by the Trustee on or before the Redemption Date and that such notice shall be of no force and effect unless such moneys are so received on or before such Redemption Date.

 

(c) If notice in respect of a Redemption for any Notes shall have been given as provided in Section 3.11(a) and such notice shall not contain the language permitted at the Issuer’s option under Section 3.11(b), such Notes shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Corporate Trust Office at the applicable Redemption Price, interest on such Notes shall cease to accrue and such Notes shall be deemed not to be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture, except to receive payment of the Redemption Price.

On or before any Redemption Date in respect of such a Redemption, the Issuer shall, to the extent an amount equal to the Redemption Price of such Notes (and any Refinancing Expenses relating thereto as of the Redemption Date) is not then held by the Issuer or on deposit in the Redemption Account, deposit or cause to be deposited in the Redemption Account an amount in immediately available funds equal to such amount.

 

(d) If notice in respect of a Redemption for any Notes shall have been given as provided in Section 3.11(a) and such notice shall contain the language permitted at the Issuer’s option under Section 3.11(b), such Notes shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Corporate Trust Office at the applicable Redemption Price, interest on such Notes shall cease to accrue and such Notes shall be deemed not to be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture, except to receive payment of the Redemption Price; provided, that, in each case, the Issuer shall have deposited with the Trustee or a Paying Agent on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date an amount sufficient to pay the Redemption Price. Upon the Issuer making such deposit and presentation and surrender of such Notes at the Corporate Trust Office, such Notes shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable Redemption Price. If the Issuer shall not make such deposit on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date, the notice in respect of Redemption shall be of no force and effect, and the principal on such Notes or specified portions thereof shall continue to bear interest as if such notice in respect of Redemption had not been given.

 

(e) All Notes that are redeemed will be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation and may not be reissued or resold.

Subject to the provisions of this Indenture, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then the Senior Trustee may, but only at the Direction of Noteholders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Senior Class of Notes, pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, Premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes, this Indenture, the Servicing Agreement or the Pledge and Security Agreement, including any of the following, to the fullest extent permitted by law, subject to the receipt of such Direction:

 

(a) The Senior Trustee may obtain the appointment of a Receiver of the Indenture Estate as provided in Section 12.7 and the Issuer consents to any such appointment.

 

(b) The Senior Trustee may, without notice to the Issuer and at such time as the Senior Trustee in its sole discretion may determine, exercise any or all of the Issuer’s rights in, to and under or in any way connected with or related to any or all of the Indenture Estate, including (i) demanding and enforcing payment and performance of, and exercising any or all of the Issuer’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection, enforcement or prosecution of, any or all of the Indenture Estate, in each case by legal proceedings or otherwise, (ii) settling, adjusting, compromising, extending, renewing, discharging and releasing any or all of, and any legal proceedings brought to collect or enforce any or all of, the Royalty Payments actually made by Inspire under the Inspire License Agreement (but not the rights thereunder to receive such payments) and the Replacement Royalty Payments, if any, and otherwise under the Transaction Documents and (iii) preparing, filing and signing the name of the Issuer on (A) any proof of claim or similar document to be filed in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving the Indenture Estate and (B) any notice of lien, assignment or satisfaction of lien, or similar document in connection with the Indenture Estate.

 

 

(c) The Senior Trustee may, without notice except as specified herein, sell or cause the sale of all or any part of the Indenture Estate in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Senior Trustee’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Senior Trustee may deem commercially reasonable, provided, that, so long as the Principal Documents remain in force, the Senior Trustee shall make any such sale only to a Person that is a Permitted Holder. The Issuer agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to the Issuer of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Senior Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale of all or any part of the Indenture Estate regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Senior Trustee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

 

(d) The Senior Trustee may, instead of exercising the power of sale conferred upon it by Section 4.3(c) and Applicable Law, proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the Security Interest and sell all or any portion of the Indenture Estate under a judgment or a decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, provided, that, so long as the Principal Documents remain in force, the Senior Trustee shall make any such foreclosure sale only to a Person that is a Permitted Holder.

 

(e) The Senior Trustee may require the Issuer to, and the Issuer hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and upon request of the Senior Trustee, forthwith assemble all or part of the Indenture Estate as directed by the Senior Trustee and make it available to the Senior Trustee at a place to be designated by the Senior Trustee that is reasonably convenient to both parties.

 

(f) In addition to the rights and remedies provided for in this Indenture, the Senior Trustee may exercise in respect of the Indenture Estate all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected property included in the Indenture Estate) and under all other Applicable Law; provided, that, so long as the Principal Documents remain in force, the Senior Trustee shall cause any sale of the Collateral to be made only to a Person that is a Permitted Holder.

 

(g) The Senior Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.

 

Section 4.4 Limitation on Suits. Without limiting the provisions of Section 4.8 and the final sentence of Section 12.4, no Noteholder shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, the Pledge and Security Agreement or the Notes, for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

 

(a) such Noteholder is a holder of the Senior Class of Notes and has previously given written notice to the Senior Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

 

(b) the Noteholders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Senior Class of Notes make a written request to the Senior Trustee to pursue a remedy hereunder;

 

(c) such Noteholder or Noteholders offer to the Senior Trustee an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Senior Trustee against any costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;

 

 

(d) the Senior Trustee does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and

 

(e) during such 60-day period, Noteholders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Senior Class of Notes do not give the Senior Trustee a Direction inconsistent with such request.

 

No one or more Noteholders may use this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of another Noteholder or to obtain or seek to obtain any preference or priority not otherwise created by this Indenture and the terms of the Notes over any other Noteholder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.

 

Section 4.5 Waiver of Existing Defaults.

 

(a) The Senior Trustee or the Noteholders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Senior Class of Notes by written notice to the Senior Trustee may waive any existing Default (or Event of Default) hereunder and its consequences, except a Default (or Event of Default) (i) in the payment of the interest on, principal of, and Premium, if any, on any Note or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Noteholder of each Note affected thereby. 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 Event of Default) or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

(b) Any written waiver of a Default or an Event of Default given by Noteholders to the Senior Trustee and the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Indenture shall be binding upon the Senior Trustee and the other parties hereto. Unless such writing expressly provides to the contrary, any waiver so granted shall extend only to the specific event or occurrence that gave rise to the Default or Event of Default so waived and not to any other similar event or occurrence that occurs subsequent to the date of such waiver.

 

Section 4.6 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Senior Trustee or any Noteholder of the Senior Class of Notes has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture, and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Senior Trustee or such Noteholder, then in every such case the Issuer, the Senior Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Senior Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted.

 

Section 4.7 Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy herein given to the Trustee specifically or otherwise in this Indenture shall be cumulative and shall, to the extent permitted by law, be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Trustee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by the Trustee in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuance of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default on the part of the Issuer or to be an acquiescence.

 

 

Section 4.8 Rights of Noteholders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Noteholder to receive payment of interest on, principal of, or Premium, if any, on any Note on or after the respective due dates therefor expressed in such Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Noteholder.

 

Section 4.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of any Noteholder allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to any obligor on the Notes, its creditors or its property.

 

Section 4.10 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Noteholder by its acceptance hereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defense made by the party litigant. This Section 4.10 does not apply to a suit instituted by the Trustee, a suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of interest, principal, or Premium, if any, on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note or a suit by a Noteholder or Noteholders of at least 10% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes.

 

Section 4.11 Control by Noteholders. Subject to Section 4.2 and Section 4.4 and to the rights of the Trustee hereunder, Noteholders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust, right or power conferred on the Trustee under any Transaction Document; provided, that:

 

(a) such Direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture and would not involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense;

 

(b) the Trustee shall not determine that the action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Noteholders of such class not taking part in such Direction; and

 

(c) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such Direction.

 

Section 4.12 Senior Trustee. The Trustee irrevocably agrees (and the Noteholders (other than the Noteholders represented by the Senior Trustee) shall be deemed to agree by virtue of their purchase of the Notes) that the Senior Trustee shall have all of the rights granted to it under this Indenture, including the right to direct the Trustee to take certain action as provided for in this Indenture, and the Trustee hereby agrees to act in accordance with each such authorized direction of the Senior Trustee.

 

 

Section 4.13 Application of Proceeds. All cash proceeds received by the Senior Trustee in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Indenture Estate shall be deposited in the Collection Account and distributed as provided in Article III. Any surplus of such cash proceeds held and remaining after payment in full of all Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the Issuer or whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus as provided in Section 3.7. Any amount received for any sale or sales conducted in accordance with the terms of Section 4.3 shall to the extent permitted by Applicable Law be deemed conclusive and binding on the Issuer and the Noteholders.

 

Section 4.14 Waivers of Rights Inhibiting Enforcement. The Issuer waives (a) any claim that, as to any part of the Indenture Estate, should the Senior Trustee elect to proceed with a private sale thereof, the mere fact that such a sale is a private sale does not, in and of itself, mean that such sale is not a commercially reasonable method of sale for such part of the Indenture Estate, (b) the right to assert in any action or proceeding between it and the Senior Trustee offsets or counterclaims that it may have, (c) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay and extension or moratorium and (d) except as otherwise provided in any of the Transaction Documents, all other rights the exercise of which would, directly or indirectly, prevent, delay or inhibit the enforcement of any of the rights or remedies under this Indenture or the absolute sale of the Indenture Estate, now or hereafter in force under any Applicable Law, and the Issuer, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws and rights.

 

Section 4.15 Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Trustee and security interests hereunder, and all obligations of the Issuer hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and the Issuer hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or may hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

 

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (other than against the Trustee);

 

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Transaction Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

 

(c) any taking, exchange, surrender, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;

 

(d) any manner of application of any Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other obligations of the Issuer under or in respect of the Transaction Documents or any other assets of the Issuer;

 

 

(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the limited liability company structure or existence of the Issuer;

 

(f) the failure of any other Person to execute this Indenture or any other agreement or the release or reduction of liability of the Issuer or other grantor or surety with respect to the Secured Obligations; or

 

(g) any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Trustee that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Issuer.

 

ARTICLE V

(a) The Issuer is a limited liability company created under the laws of the State of Delaware, is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where such qualification is required and has full power and authority to conduct its business, and the Issuer is not in liquidation or bankruptcy and has not become subject to a Voluntary Bankruptcy or an Involuntary Bankruptcy.

(c) The creation of the Notes and the issuance, execution and delivery, and the compliance by the Issuer with the terms, of the Notes and each of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party:

 

(i) do not at the Closing Date conflict with, result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of or constitute a default under the Issuer Organizational Documents or with any judgment, order or decree of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Issuer, its assets or properties or, except where it would not have or would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, with any Applicable Law; and

 

(ii) do not at the Closing Date violate, or constitute a default under, any deed, indenture, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Issuer is a party or by which it or any part of its assets, property or revenues are bound.

 

(d) The creation, execution and issuance of the Notes, the execution and delivery by the Issuer of the Transaction Documents executed by it and the performance by the Issuer of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the arrangements contemplated hereby and thereby to be performed by it have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer.

 

 

(e) This Indenture constitutes, and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, when executed and delivered and, in the case of the Notes, when issued and authenticated, will constitute, valid, legally binding and (subject to general equitable principles, and laws relating to insolvency, liquidation, reorganization and other laws of general application relating to creditors’ rights or claims or to laws of prescription or the concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing) enforceable obligations of the Issuer.

 

(f) On the Closing Date, there exists no Event of Default nor any event that, had the Notes already been issued, would constitute a Default or an Event of Default.

 

(g) On the Closing Date, subject to the Liens created in favor of the Trustee and except for any other Permitted Liens, there exists no Lien over the assets of the Issuer.

 

(h) All consents, approvals, authorizations or other orders of all Governmental Authorities required (excluding any required by the other parties to the Transaction Documents) for or in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Issuer and the issuance and performance of the Notes and the offering of the Notes by the Issuer have been obtained and are in full force and effect and are not contingent upon fulfillment of any condition.

This Indenture creates a valid security interest in the Collateral securing the payment of the Secured Obligations.

 

(o) The Issuer has determined, and by virtue of its entering into the transactions contemplated hereby and its authorization, execution and delivery of this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is party, that the issuance of the Notes and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and its incurrence of Indebtedness and other liability hereunder or thereunder or contemplated hereby or thereby (i) is in its own best interests, (ii) does not leave it unable to pay its debts as they become due in the ordinary course of business, (iii) will not leave it with debts that cannot be paid from the present saleable value of its property and (iv) will not render it insolvent within the meaning of Section 101(32) of the United States Bankruptcy Code or Section 271 of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law or leave it with unreasonably small capital.

(q) The Issuer has never filed any tax return or report under any name other than its exact legal name. The Issuer is an entity that is disregarded as separate from the Parent for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

(r) No step has been taken or is intended by the Issuer or, so far as it is aware, any other Person for the winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, administration, merger or consolidation or for the appointment of a receiver or administrator of the Issuer or all or any of its assets.

The Issuer shall comply with, and cause compliance with, the Issuer Organizational Documents.

 

(j) The Issuer shall not take any action to waive, repeal, amend, vary, supplement or otherwise modify the Issuer Organizational Documents in a manner that would adversely affect (x) the rights, remedies, privileges or preferences of any Noteholder or (y) the Collateral, any other Purchased Assets or the Issuer Pledged Collateral.

 

(k) The Issuer shall duly and punctually pay the principal, Premium, if any, and interest on the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes; provided, that the Issuer shall be in compliance with this covenant with respect to any Payment Date (other than the Final Legal Maturity Date or any Redemption Date subject to 3.11(b)) if any such interest in excess of the portion of the Available Collections Amount available to pay such interest on the relevant Payment Date and funds in the Interest Reserve Account and the Capital Account are paid in full not later than the immediately succeeding Payment Date (together with Additional Interest thereon).

As to any fact or matter the manner of ascertainment of which is not specifically described herein, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and may for all purposes hereof conclusively rely on a certificate, signed by an officer of any duly authorized Person, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon. To the extent not otherwise specifically provided herein, the Trustee shall assume, and shall be fully protected in assuming, that the Issuer is authorized by its constitutional documents to enter into this Indenture and to take all action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions hereof and shall not be required to inquire into the authorization of the Issuer with respect thereto.

The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or Direction of any of the Noteholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby.

 

 

The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Indenture or any other Transaction Document shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible or liable for the manner of performance of, any obligations of the Issuer or the Servicer under this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents.

(d) Each Trustee shall be an Eligible Institution and shall meet the Eligibility Requirements, if there be such an institution willing, able and legally qualified to perform the duties of a Trustee hereunder.

 

(e) Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person to which all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including the administration of the trust created by this Indenture) may be transferred, shall, subject to the terms of Section 7.2(c), be the Trustee under this Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any party hereto, except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

The Issuer shall indemnify and defend the Trustee (and its officers, directors, managers, employees and agents) for, and hold it harmless from and against, and reimburse the Trustee for, any loss, liability or expense incurred by it without bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and its performance of its duties under this Indenture and the Notes or any other Transaction Document to which the Trustee is party, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability and of complying with any process served upon it or any of its officers in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties, and hold it harmless against any loss, liability or reasonable expense incurred without bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted to be taken in reliance on any Officer’s Certificate furnished hereunder, or the failure to furnish any such Officer’s Certificate required to be furnished hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee for which it may seek indemnity; provided, however, that failure to provide such notice shall not invalidate any right to indemnity hereunder. The Issuer shall defend any such claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense thereof. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate outside counsel for the Trustee, in which case the Issuer does not have to defend such claim. The Issuer need not pay for any settlements made without its consent; provided, that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or provide any indemnity against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

Section 8.2 Noteholders’ Indemnity. The Trustee shall be entitled, subject to such Trustee’s duty during a Default to act with the standard of care required under this Indenture, to be indemnified by the Noteholders of any class of Notes before proceeding to exercise any right or power under this Indenture or any other Transaction Document at the request or Direction of such Noteholders.

 

 

Section 8.3 Survival. The provisions of Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 shall survive the termination of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee.

 

ARTICLE IX

With the consent of Noteholders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes (voting or acting as a single class), the Trustee may amend or modify this Indenture, the Notes, the Pledge and Security Agreement, the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Bill of Sale, the Residual License Agreement or the Servicing Agreement to the extent the Trustee is a party or to consent to the amendment or modification of the Pledge and Security Agreement, the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Bill of Sale, the Residual License Agreement or the Servicing Agreement (or the waiver of any provision thereof). However, no such amendment, modification, consent or waiver may, without the consent of Noteholders of 100% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the class of Notes affected thereby:

 

(a) reduce the percentage of Noteholders of any such class of Notes required to take or approve any action hereunder or thereunder;

 

(b) reduce the amount or change the time of payment of any amount owing or payable with respect to any such class of Notes or change the rate of interest or change the manner of calculation of interest payable with respect to any such class of Notes;

(d) consent to any assignment of the Issuer’s rights to a party other than the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders;

 

provided, that the Noteholders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Senior Class of Notes, by written notice to the Trustee, may waive any Default or Event of Default pursuant to Section 4.5.

 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Noteholders under this Section 9.1 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. Any such modification approved by the required Noteholders of any class of Notes will be binding on the Noteholders of the relevant class of Notes and each party to this Indenture.

 

 

After an amendment under this Section 9.1 becomes effective, the Issuer or, at the direction of the Issuer, the Trustee shall mail to the Noteholders a notice briefly describing such amendment. Any failure of the Issuer or the Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment.

 

After an amendment under this Section 9.1 becomes effective, it shall bind every Noteholder, whether or not notation thereof is made on any Note held by such Noteholder.

 

Section 9.2 Modification Without Consent of Noteholders. The Trustee may agree, without the consent of any Noteholder, to amend or modify this Indenture, the Notes, the Pledge and Security Agreement, the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Bill of Sale, the Residual License Agreement or the Servicing Agreement to the extent the Trustee is a party or to consent to the amendment or modification of the Pledge and Security Agreement, the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Bill of Sale, the Residual License Agreement or the Servicing Agreement (or the waiver of any provision thereof) to:

(d) cure any ambiguity in or correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision of this Indenture, the Notes, the Pledge and Security Agreement, the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Bill of Sale, the Residual License Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, in any manner that will not adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders in any material respect as confirmed in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer;

 

(e) grant or confer upon the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders any additional rights, remedies, powers, authority or security that may be lawfully granted or conferred and that are not contrary or inconsistent with this Indenture;

 

(f) add to the covenants or agreements to be observed by the Issuer, which are not contrary to this Indenture, or to add Events of Default for the benefit of the Noteholders;

 

(g) comply with the requirements of the SEC or any regulatory body or any Applicable Law; or

Section 9.3 Subordination; Priority of Payments. The subordination provisions contained in Article X may not be amended or modified without the consent of Noteholders of 100% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the class of Notes affected thereby. In no event shall the provisions set forth in Section 3.7 relating to the priority of payment of Expenses be amended or modified. In no event shall the provisions of Section 3.7(b) (or this sentence of Section 9.3) be amended or modified without the prior written consent of the Parent (the Parent shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of this Indenture in respect of the last sentence of this Section 9.3).

 

Section 9.4 Execution of Amendments by Trustee. In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any amendment or modification to this Indenture permitted by this Article IX or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

 

Section 9.5 Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every indenture supplemental hereto pursuant to this Article IX shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect (as if the Trust Indenture Act applied to this Indenture).

 

ARTICLE X

 

Section 10.1 Subordination of the Notes.

 

(a) Each of the Issuer and the Trustee (on behalf of the Noteholders) covenants and agrees, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note, covenants and agrees, that the Notes of each class will be issued subject to the provisions of this Article X. Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note, further agrees that all amounts payable on any Note will, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Article X and Section 3.7, be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Expenses payable to the Service Providers pursuant to this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents. Each Noteholder of a Class B Note, by its acceptance of a Class B Note, further agrees that all amounts payable on any Class B Note will, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Article X and Section 3.7, be subordinated in right of payment to the payment in full of the Class A Notes. Any claim to payment so stated to be subordinated is referred to as a “Subordinated Claim”; each claim to payment to which another claim to payment is a Subordinated Claim is referred to as a “Senior Claim” with respect to such Subordinated Claim.

 

 

(b) If, prior to the payment in full of all Senior Claims then due and payable, the Trustee or any Noteholder of a Subordinated Claim shall have received any payment or distribution in respect of such Subordinated Claim in excess of the amount to which such Noteholder was then entitled under Section 3.7, then such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust by such Person and paid over or delivered to the Trustee for application as provided in Section 3.7.

 

(c) If any Service Provider, the Trustee or any Noteholder of any Senior Claim receives any payment in respect of any Senior Claim that is subsequently invalidated, declared preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or other party, then, to the extent such payment is so invalidated, declared preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid, such Senior Claim shall be revived and continue in full force and effect and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article X, all as if such payment had not been received.

 

(d) The Trustee (on its own behalf and on behalf of the Noteholders) and the Issuer each confirm that the payment priorities specified in Section 3.7 shall apply in all circumstances.

 

(e) Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note, authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article X, and appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for such purposes, including, in the event of any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise), any actions tending towards liquidation of the property and assets of the Issuer or the filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of its Notes in the form required in those proceedings.

 

(f) If payment on the Notes is accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, the Issuer shall promptly notify the holders of the Senior Claims of such acceleration.

 

(g) After all Senior Claims are paid in full and until the Subordinated Claims are paid in full, and to the extent that such Senior Claims shall have been paid with funds that would, but for the subordination pursuant to this Article X, have been paid to and retained by such holders of Subordinated Claims, the holders of Subordinated Claims shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Claims to receive payments applicable to Senior Claims. A payment made under this Article X to holders of Senior Claims that otherwise would have been made to the holders of Subordinated Claims is not, as between the Issuer and the holders of Subordinated Claims, a payment by the Issuer.

 

(h) No right of any holder of any Senior Claim to enforce the subordination of any Subordinated Claim shall be impaired by an act or failure to act by the Issuer or the Trustee or by any failure by either the Issuer or the Trustee to comply with this Indenture.

 

 

(i) Each Noteholder by accepting a Note acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Claim, whether such Senior Claim was created or acquired before or after the issuance of such Noteholder’s claim, to acquire and continue to hold such Senior Claim, and such holder of any Senior Claim shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold such Senior Claim. Each holder of a Subordinated Claim agrees to comply with the provisions of Article IV.

 

ARTICLE XI

 

Section 11.1 Discharge of Indenture.

 

(a) When (i) all outstanding Secured Obligations have been satisfied and the Issuer delivers to the Trustee all Outstanding Notes (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.8) for cancellation or (ii) all Outstanding Notes have become due and payable, whether at maturity or as a result of the mailing of a notice of an Optional Redemption pursuant to Section 3.10(b) or any other Redemption pursuant to Section 3.10(c), in each case that is subject to Section 3.11(c), and the Issuer irrevocably deposits in the Redemption Account funds sufficient to pay all remaining Expenses accrued and payable through such date and to pay all principal and interest and premium (if any) on outstanding Notes at maturity or upon redemption all Outstanding Notes, including interest and any Premium thereon to maturity or the Redemption Date (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.8), and if in either case the Issuer pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 11.1(b), cease to be of further effect and the security interest granted to the Trustee hereunder in the Collateral and the Indenture Estate shall terminate. The Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, and file all UCC termination statements and similar documents prepared by the Issuer, on demand of the Issuer accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, at the cost and expense of the Issuer, to the effect that any conditions precedent to a discharge of this Indenture have been met.

 

(b) Notwithstanding Section 11.1(a), the Issuer’s obligations in Section 8.1 and the Trustee’s obligations in Section 12.13 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

 

 

ARTICLE XII

 

Section 12.1 Right of Trustee to Perform. If the Issuer for any reason fails to observe or punctually to perform any of its obligations to the Trustee, whether under this Indenture, under any of the other Transaction Documents or otherwise, the Trustee shall have the power (but shall have no obligation), on behalf of or in the name of the Issuer or otherwise, to perform such obligations or cause performance of such obligations and to take any steps that the Trustee may, in its absolute discretion, consider appropriate with a view to remedying, or mitigating the consequences of, such failure by the Issuer, in which case the reasonable expenses of the Trustee, including the fees and expenses of its counsel, incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Issuer under Section 8.1; provided, that no exercise or failure to exercise this power by the Trustee shall in any way prejudice the Trustee’s other rights under this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents.

 

 

Section 12.2 Waiver. Any waiver by any party of any provision of this Indenture or any right, remedy or option hereunder shall only prevent and estop such party from thereafter enforcing such provision, right, remedy or option if such waiver is given in writing and only as to the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which such waiver was given. The failure or refusal of any party hereto to insist in any one or more instances, or in a course of dealing, upon the strict performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture by any party hereto or the partial exercise of any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any such term or provision, but the same shall continue in full force and effect. No failure on the part of the Trustee to exercise, and no delay on its part in exercising, any right or remedy under this Indenture will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this Indenture are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

 

Section 12.3 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Indenture or the application thereof to any party hereto or to any circumstance or in any jurisdiction governing this Indenture shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute, regulation or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it is invalid or unenforceable, and the remainder of this Indenture, and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provision to the parties, jurisdictions or circumstances other than to whom or to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby nor shall the same affect the validity or enforceability of this Indenture. The parties hereto further agree that the holding by any court of competent jurisdiction that any remedy pursued by the Trustee hereunder is unavailable or unenforceable shall not affect in any way the ability of the Trustee to pursue any other remedy available to it.

 

Section 12.4 Restrictions on Exercise of Certain Rights. The Trustee and, during the continuance of a payment Default with respect to the Senior Class of Notes, the Senior Trustee, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.4, may sue for recovery or take any other steps for the purpose of recovering any of the obligations hereunder or any other debts or liabilities whatsoever owing to it by the Issuer. Each of the Noteholders shall at all times be deemed to have agreed by virtue of the acceptance of the Notes that only the Trustee and, during the continuance of a payment Default with respect to the Senior Class of Notes, the Senior Trustee, except as provided in Section 4.4, may take any steps for the purpose of procuring the appointment of an administrative receiver, examiner, receiver or similar officer or the making of an administration order or for instituting any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, winding-up, liquidation, composition, examination or any like proceedings under Applicable Law.

 

Section 12.5 Notices. All Notices shall be in writing and shall be effective (a) upon receipt when sent through the mails, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, with such receipt to be effective the date of delivery indicated on the return receipt, (b) upon receipt when sent by an overnight courier, (c) on the date personally delivered to an authorized officer of the party to which sent, (d) on the date transmitted by legible telecopier transmission with a confirmation of receipt or (e) in the case of reports under Article III and any other report that is of a routine nature, on the date sent by first class mail or overnight courier or transmitted by legible telecopier transmission, in all cases, with a copy emailed to the recipient at the applicable address, addressed to the recipient as follows:

Section 12.9 Jurisdiction.

 

(a) Each of the parties hereto agrees that the U.S. federal and State of New York courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit, action or proceeding, and to settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in connection with this Indenture and, for such purposes, submits to the jurisdiction of such courts. Each of the parties hereto waives any objection that it might now or hereafter have to the U.S. federal or State of New York courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York being nominated as the forum to hear and determine any suit, action or proceeding, and to settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in connection with this Indenture and agrees not to claim that any such court is not a convenient or appropriate forum. Each of the parties hereto has irrevocably designated, appointed and empowered the respective Persons named in Exhibit C as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and its properties, assets and revenues, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents that may be served in any suit, action or proceeding brought against such party in any United States or state court arising out of or relating to this Indenture or the Notes. If for any reason any such designee, appointee and agent hereunder shall cease to be available to act as such, such party agrees to designate a new designee, appointee and agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York on the terms and for the purposes of this Section 12.9 satisfactory to such other party. Each party further hereby irrevocably consents and agrees to the service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents in any suit, action or proceeding against such party by serving a copy thereof upon the relevant agent for service of process referred to in this Section 12.9 (whether or not the appointment of such agent shall for any reason prove to be ineffective or such agent shall accept or acknowledge such service) or by mailing copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party at its address specified in or designated pursuant to this Indenture. Each party agrees that the failure of any such designee, appointee and agent to give any notice of such service to it shall not impair or affect in any way the validity of such service or any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of the Issuer or the Trustee and the Noteholders, as the case may be, to serve any such legal process, summons, notices and documents in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law or to obtain jurisdiction over such party or bring suits, actions or proceedings against such party in such other jurisdictions, and in such manner, as may be permitted by Applicable Law.

 

 

(b) The submission to the jurisdiction of the courts referred to in Section 12.9(a) shall not (and shall not be construed so as to) limit the right of the Trustee to take proceedings against the Issuer in any other court of competent jurisdiction, nor shall the taking of proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not.

 

(c) If, for the purpose of obtaining a judgment or order in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder to any Noteholder from U.S. dollars into another currency, the Issuer has agreed, and each Noteholder by holding a Note will be deemed to have agreed, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, such Noteholder could purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

 

(d) The obligation of the Issuer in respect of any sum payable by it to a Noteholder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or order in a currency other than U.S. dollars (the “Judgment Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by such Noteholder of such security of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, such Noteholder may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase U.S. dollars with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of U.S. dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Noteholder in the Judgment Currency (determined in the manner set forth in Section 12.9(c)), the Issuer agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Noteholder against such loss, and, if the amount of the U.S. dollars so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to such Noteholder, such Noteholder agrees to remit to the Issuer such excess, provided that such Noteholder shall have no obligation to remit any such excess as long as the Issuer shall have failed to pay such Noteholder any obligations due and payable under the Notes of such Noteholder, in which case such excess may be applied to such obligations of the Issuer under such Notes in accordance with the terms thereof. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Issuer and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid.

 

(e) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INDENTURE OR ANY MATTER ARISING HEREUNDER.

 

Section 12.10 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in one or more counterparts by the parties hereto, and each such counterpart shall be considered an original and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

Section 12.11 Table of Contents and Headings. The Table of Contents and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

 

 

Section 12.12 Trust Indenture Act. This Indenture shall not be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and shall not be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, although it shall incorporate such provisions for ease of reference.

 

Section 12.13 Confidential Information. The Trustee, in its individual capacity and as Trustee, agrees and acknowledges that all information (including Confidential Information) provided to the Trustee by the Parent may be considered to be proprietary and confidential information of Inspire. The Trustee agrees to take all reasonable precautions necessary to keep such information confidential, which precautions shall be no less stringent than those that the Trustee employs to protect its own confidential information. The Trustee shall not disclose to any third party other than as set forth herein, and shall not use for any purpose other than the exercise of the Trustee’s rights and the performance of its obligations under this Indenture, any such information without the prior written consent of Inspire. In addition, the Trustee agrees to be bound by the provisions of Article 8 of the Inspire License Agreement to the extent it receives confidential information of Inspire pursuant to Section 5.3 of this Indenture or Section 4.1 of the Servicing Agreement. The Trustee shall limit access to such information received hereunder to (a) its directors, officers, managers and employees and (b) its legal advisors, to each of whom disclosure of such information is necessary for the purposes described above; provided, however, that in each case such party has expressly agreed to maintain such information in confidence under terms and conditions substantially identical to the terms of this Section 12.13.

 

The Trustee agrees that Inspire does not have any responsibility whatsoever for any reliance on such information by the Trustee or by any Person to whom such information is disclosed in connection with this Indenture, whether related to the purposes described above or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee agrees that Inspire makes no representation or warranty whatsoever to it with respect to such information or its suitability for such purposes. The Trustee further agrees that it shall not acquire any rights against Inspire or any employee, officer, director, manager, representative or agent of Inspire (together with Inspire, “Confidential Parties”) as a result of the disclosure of such information to the Trustee or to any Noteholder or Beneficial Holder and that no Confidential Party has any duty, responsibility, liability or obligation to any Person as a result of any such disclosure.

 

In the event the Trustee is required to disclose any such information received hereunder in order to comply with any laws, regulations or court orders, it may disclose such information only to the extent necessary for such compliance; provided, however, that it shall give Inspire and the Issuer reasonable advance written notice of any such court proceeding in which such disclosure may be required pursuant to a court order so as to afford Inspire a full and fair opportunity to oppose the issuance of such order and to appeal therefrom and shall cooperate reasonably with Inspire in opposing such order and in securing confidential treatment of any such information to be disclosed and/or obtaining a protective order narrowing the scope of such disclosure.

 

The Trustee agrees that Inspire is an express third-party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 12.13 and Article III.

 

 

Each of the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent and the Registrar agrees to be bound by this Section 12.13 to the same extent as the Trustee.

 

Section 12.14 Limited Recourse. Each of the parties hereto accepts that the enforceability against the Issuer of the obligations of the Issuer hereunder and under the Notes shall be limited to the assets of the Issuer, whether tangible or intangible, real or personal (including the Collateral) and the proceeds thereof. Once all such assets have been realized upon and such assets (and proceeds thereof) have been applied in accordance with Article III, any outstanding obligations of the Issuer shall be extinguished. Each of the parties hereto further agrees that it shall take no action against any employee, director, officer or administrator of the Issuer or the Trustee in relation to this Indenture; provided, that nothing herein shall limit the Issuer (or its permitted successors or assigns, including any party hereto that becomes such a successor or assign) from pursuing claims, if any, against any such person. The provisions of this Section 12.14 shall survive termination of this Indenture; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not in any way limit, impair or otherwise affect any rights of the Trustee or the Noteholders to proceed against any such Person (a) for intentional and willful fraud or intentional and willful misrepresentations on the part of or by such Person or (b) for the receipt of any distributions or payments to which the Issuer or any successor in interest is entitled, other than distributions expressly permitted pursuant to this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents.

 

Section 12.15 Tax Characterization; No Gross Up; Withholding.

 

(a) The Issuer has entered into this Indenture, and the Notes will be issued, with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise Tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness. The Issuer, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder or Beneficial Holder, agree to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise Tax purposes as indebtedness.

 

(b) The Issuer shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to the Noteholders or Beneficial Holders as a result of any withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future Taxes imposed on payments in respect of the Notes.

 

(c) If any withholding Tax is imposed on the Issuer’s payment (or allocations of income) under the Notes to any Noteholder, such Tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Noteholder. The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to any Noteholder sufficient funds for the payment of any withholding Tax that is legally owed by the Issuer (but such authorization shall not prevent the Trustee from contesting any such withholding Tax in appropriate proceedings and withholding payment of such Tax, if permitted by Applicable Law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding Tax imposed with respect to any Noteholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Noteholder at the time it is withheld by the Trustee and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding Tax is payable with respect to a payment under the Notes, the Trustee may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 12.15. If any Noteholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding Tax, the Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with such Noteholder in making such claim so long as such Noteholder agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred. Nothing herein shall impose an obligation on the part of the Trustee to determine the amount of any Tax or withholding obligation on the part of the Issuer or in respect of the Notes.

AZITHROMYCIN ROYALTY SUB LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein referred to as the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal amount set forth on Schedule I hereto on or before May 15, 2019 (the “Final Legal Maturity Date”) and to pay interest quarterly in arrears on the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof at a rate per annum equal to 16% (the “Stated Rate of Interest”), from the date hereof until the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof is paid or duly provided for, which interest shall be due and payable on each Payment Date; provided, that, with respect to any Payment Date (other than the Final Legal Maturity Date or any Redemption Date), any such interest in excess of the portion of the Available Collections Amount available to pay such interest on such Payment Date and funds in the Interest Reserve Account and the Capital Account shall be payable in full not later than the immediately succeeding Payment Date (together with Additional Interest on the amount of unpaid interest from the Payment Date on which it was due until the date on which it is paid, compounded quarterly on each Payment Date). Interest on this Note in each Interest Accrual Period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. If this Note is issued in the form of a Global Note, in accordance with the requirements of DTC, the Issuer will cause the Trustee to authenticate an additional Note or additional Notes in the appropriate principal amount such that neither this Note nor any other such Note may exceed an aggregate principal amount of U.S.$500,000,000 at any time.

 

This Note is a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its “Azithromycin PhaRMA^SM Secured 16% Notes Due 2019”, issued under the Indenture dated as of February 21, 2008 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (including any successor appointed in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the “Trustee”). The Indenture also provides for the issuance of Refinancing Notes and Class B Notes. All capitalized terms used in this Note and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture. Reference is made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Noteholders. This Note is subject to all terms of the Indenture.

 

 

The Issuer will pay the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note on or prior to the Final Legal Maturity Date on the Payment Dates specified in the Indenture, subject to the availability of the Available Collections Amount therefor after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.7 of the Indenture.

 

The indebtedness evidenced by the Original Class A Notes is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, senior in right of payment to the right of payment of the Class B Notes, and this Note is issued subject to such provisions. The maturity of this Note is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence and during the continuance of the Events of Default specified in the Indenture.

 

The Issuer may redeem all or part of the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note prior to the Final Legal Maturity Date on the Payment Dates, in the amounts and under the circumstances specified in the Indenture.

 

Any amount of Premium or interest on this Note that is not paid when due shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, bear interest (“Additional Interest”) at an interest rate per annum equal to the Stated Rate of Interest from the date when due until such amount is paid or duly provided for, compounded quarterly and payable on the next succeeding Payment Date, subject to the availability of the Available Collections Amount therefor after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.7 of the Indenture.

 

This Note is and will be secured by the Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

 

Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, there will be distributed quarterly from the Collection Account on each Payment Date commencing on May 15, 2008, to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such Payment Date, in the manner specified in Section 3.7 of the Indenture, such Person’s pro rata share (based on the aggregate percentage of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Original Class A Notes held by such Person) of the aggregate amount distributable to all Noteholders of Original Class A Notes on such Payment Date.

 

All amounts payable in respect of this Note shall be payable in U.S. dollars in the manner provided in the Indenture to the Noteholder hereof on the Record Date relating to such payment. The final payment with respect to this Note, however, shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Note by the Noteholder or its agent at an office or agency of the Trustee or Paying Agent in New York City. At such time, if any, as this Note is issued in the form of one or more Definitive Notes, payments on a Payment Date shall be made by check mailed to each Noteholder of such a Definitive Note on the applicable Record Date at its address appearing on the Register maintained with respect to the Original Class A Notes. Alternatively, upon application in writing to the Trustee or other Paying Agent, not later than the applicable Record Date, by a Noteholder, any such payments shall be made by wire transfer to an account designated by such Noteholder at a financial institution in New York City. The final payment with respect to any such Definitive Note, however, shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Definitive Note by the Noteholder or its agent at an office or agency of the Trustee or Paying Agent in New York City. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments in respect of this Note issued in the form of a Global Note (including principal, Premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by DTC. Any reduction in the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note (or any one or more predecessor Original Class A Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Noteholders of this Note and of any Original Class A Note issued upon the registration of transfer of, in exchange or in lieu of or upon the refinancing of this Note, whether or not noted hereon.

 

 

The Noteholder of this Note agrees, by acceptance hereof, to pay over to the Trustee any money (including principal, Premium, if any, and interest) paid to it in respect of this Note in the event that the Trustee, acting in good faith, determines subsequently that such monies were not paid in accordance with the priority of payment provisions of the Indenture or as a result of any other mistake of fact or law on the part of the Trustee in making such payment.

 

This Note is issuable only in registered form. A Noteholder or Beneficial Holder may transfer this Note or a Beneficial Interest herein only by delivery of a written application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee, a Confidentiality Agreement duly executed and delivered to the Registrar by such transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of the Indenture. No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Noteholder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register. When this Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange it for an equal principal amount of Original Class A Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met (including, in the case of a transfer, that such Note is duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and Registrar duly executed by the Noteholder thereof or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Noteholder and that the transferee has executed and delivered to the Registrar a Confidentiality Agreement). No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the party requesting such new Original Class A Note or Original Class A Notes may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer Tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

Prior to the registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer and the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the absolute owner and Noteholder hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to this Note and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

The Indenture permits the amendment or modification of the Indenture and the Original Class A Notes by the Issuer with the consent of the Noteholders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of all Notes (voting or acting as a single class). However, no amendment or modification of the Indenture or the Original Class A Notes may, without the consent of Noteholders of 100% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the class of Notes affected thereby, (i) reduce the percentage of Noteholders of any such class of Notes required to take or approve any action under the Indenture, (ii) reduce the amount or change the time of payment of any amount owing or payable with respect to any such class of Notes or change the rate of interest or change the manner of calculation of interest payable with respect to any such class of Notes, (iii) alter or modify the provisions with respect to the Collateral for the Notes or the manner of payment or the order of priorities in which payments or distributions under the Indenture will be made as between the Noteholders of such Notes and the Issuer or as among the Noteholders or (iv) consent to any assignment of the Issuer’s rights to a party other than the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. Any such amendment or modification shall be binding on every Noteholder hereof, whether or not notation thereof is made upon this Note.

 

 

The subordination provisions contained in Article X of the Indenture may not be amended or modified without the consent of Noteholders of 100% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the class of Notes affected thereby.

 

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Noteholders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Senior Class of Notes, on behalf of the Noteholders of all of the Original Class A Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon all present and future Noteholders of this Note and of any Original Class A Note issued upon the registration of transfer of, in exchange or in lieu of or upon the refinancing of this Note, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

 

The Original Class A Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

 

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE RULES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee whose name appears below by manual or facsimile signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this Note to be signed manually or by facsimile by its duly authorized Manager.

In connection with our possible interest in the purchase of the Azithromycin PhaRMA^SM Secured 16% Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”) issued by Azithromycin Royalty Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”) (the “Transaction”), we have requested a copy of the Private Placement Memorandum, dated February 15, 2008, relating to the Notes (the “Private Placement Memorandum”). In addition to receiving the Private Placement Memorandum, we may also request that you or your directors, officers, managers, members, partners, employees, affiliates, assigns, representatives (including, without limitation, financial advisors, attorneys and accountants), investors, agents or similar persons (collectively, “Your Representatives”) furnish us or our directors, officers, managers, members, partners, employees, affiliates, assigns, representatives (including, without limitation, financial advisors, attorneys and accountants), investors, agents or similar persons (collectively, “Our Representatives”) with certain information relating to the Company, the Transaction (including notices, reports or other documents delivered to us in respect of the Notes or the Indenture (as defined herein)) and the rights acquired by the Company from InSite Vision Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”). All such information (whether written or oral, and whether tangible or electronic) furnished on or after the date hereof by you or Your Representatives to us or Our Representatives, including, without limitation, the Private Placement Memorandum, and any materials containing, based on or derived from any such information (including any financial models or other analyses, compilations, forecasts, studies or other documents based thereon) prepared by us or Our Representatives in connection with our or Our Representatives’ review of, or our interest in, the Transaction, is hereinafter referred to as the “Information”. The term Information will not, however, include information that (i) is already legally known by us without an obligation of confidentiality to a third party at the time such information is disclosed unless such information was disclosed to us under a confidentiality agreement with you that was entered into in connection with our earlier consideration of the Notes, (ii) is or thereafter becomes available in the public domain, other than by breach by us or Our Representatives of our obligations hereunder, (iii) is obtainable by us from another source without breach of such source’s obligations of confidentiality to you or (iv) is independently developed by our Representatives who have not had access to such information.

 

As a condition to receiving the Information, we hereby agree as follows:

 

 

1. We and Our Representatives hereby agree (i) to keep the Information confidential, (ii) that the Information will be used solely for the purpose of evaluating or entering into the Transaction and, if the Transaction is entered into, monitoring or enforcing the Transaction and (iii) not to, without your prior written consent, disclose any Information in any manner whatsoever; provided, however, that we may reveal the Information to (a) Our Representatives who need to know the Information for the purpose of evaluating or entering into the Transaction and, if the Transaction is entered into, monitoring or enforcing the Transaction or (b) third parties in order to comply with any applicable law, rule, regulation or legal process or pursuant to requests of governmental authorities or regulatory agencies having oversight over us or Our Representatives, and only after compliance with paragraph 3 below, provided, that all of Our Representatives to which we disclosed Information shall agree to keep such information confidential, and only to use such information, on reasonable and customary terms that are substantially the same as the terms we are subject to, and, provided, further, that we shall be wholly responsible for the full compliance of this Resale Confidentiality Agreement by Our Representatives to which we disclosed Information. Notwithstanding and without limitation of the foregoing, we and Our Representatives agree not to reveal Information to advisors who are principally engaged in the business of investment banking, capital markets or securitization of financial assets without prior written notice to you.

 

2. We and Our Representatives agree, whether or not the Transaction is consummated, not to (except as required by applicable law, rule, regulation or legal process or pursuant to requests of governmental authorities or regulatory agencies having oversight over us or Our Representatives, and only after compliance with paragraph 3 below), without your prior written consent, disclose to any person the fact that the Information or the Transaction exists or has been made available, that we are considering the Transaction, or that discussions or negotiations are taking or have taken place concerning the Transaction or any term, condition or other fact relating to the Transaction or such discussions or negotiations, including, without limitation, the status thereof.

 

3. In the event that we or any of Our Representatives are required by applicable law, rule, regulation or legal process or pursuant to requests of governmental authorities or regulatory agencies having oversight over us or Our Representatives to disclose any of the Information, we agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you promptly (unless such notice is not permitted by applicable law, rule or regulation) so that you may seek, at your own expense, a protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in your sole discretion, waive compliance with the terms of this Resale Confidentiality Agreement. In the event that no such protective order or other remedy is obtained, or that you do not waive compliance with the terms of this Resale Confidentiality Agreement, we agree to furnish only that portion of the Information that we are advised by counsel (which may be internal counsel) is legally required and will exercise all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Information.

 

 

4. If we determine not to proceed with the Transaction or we cease to have an interest arising from the Transaction, we will promptly inform you of that decision or event and, in that case, and at any time upon your request or the request of any of Your Representatives, we and Our Representatives agree to (i) promptly deliver to you all copies of the Information in our possession (except as described in the following proviso), (ii) promptly destroy all copies of any written Information (whether in tangible or electronic form, or otherwise) that we and Our Representatives have created, including, without limitation, any notes we have taken on any discussions with you or Your Representatives, and upon your request such destruction shall be certified in writing (including via email) to you by an authorized officer supervising such destruction (provided in each case that an appropriate person within our organization may retain one copy of the Information, subject to the provisions of this Resale Confidentiality Agreement, if required to comply with internal record retention policies or regulatory considerations, in which case, regardless of paragraph 17 below, the confidentiality provisions of this Resale Confidentiality Agreement will continue to apply to such Information for so long as it is retained by such person or any other of Our Representatives) and (iii) certify that clauses (i) and (ii) above have been complied with. Any oral Information will continue to be subject to the terms of this Resale Confidentiality Agreement.

9. We represent and warrant: (A) that either (i) no Plan Assets (as defined by Section 3(42) of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor) will be used to purchase a Note or (ii) to the extent that Plan Assets are used to purchase a Note, one or more statutory or administrative exemptions applies such that the use of such Plan Assets to purchase and hold such Notes will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); and (B) that either (i) assets of a governmental, church or foreign plan have been used to purchase a Note or (ii) to the extent such assets are used, neither the purchase nor holding of the Notes will constitute or result in a violation of any law that is similar to the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

 

 

10. We represent and warrant that either (i) we are not, and will not become, a partnership, Subchapter S corporation or grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) we are a partnership, Subchapter S corporation or grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes but (A) none of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any of our interests have allowed or caused, or will allow or cause, 50% or more of the value of such interests to be attributable to such ownership of Notes or (B) our partnership, Subchapter S corporation or grantor trust was not formed with a principal purpose of permitting the Company to satisfy the 100-partner limitation in Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) (assuming for this purpose that the Notes were classified as equity, and not debt, for U.S. federal income tax purposes), and we will not participate or transfer an interest in any Note to any person or entity who is of a type described in clause (i) above but is not of a type described in clause (ii) above.

12. We acknowledge and agree that each of the Parent and Inspire Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a third party beneficiary of this Resale Confidentiality Agreement and shall have the right to enforce any provision of this Resale Confidentiality Agreement.

 

13. We agree that no failure or delay by you in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder.

 

14. This Resale Confidentiality Agreement shall be governed by, and construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof (other than the provisions of Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York).

 

15. This Resale Confidentiality Agreement contains the entire agreement between you and us concerning the confidentiality of the Information, and no modifications of this Resale Confidentiality Agreement or waiver of the terms and conditions hereof will be binding upon you or us, unless approved in writing by each of you and us.
