Subordinated Notes The Subordinated Notes have been duly authorized by the Company and when executed by the Company and issued, delivered to and paid for by the Purchasers in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, will have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered, and will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company and enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles.
Convertible Notes The Convertible Notes are subject to different conversion calculations depending on the event triggering conversion as described in the Notes (e.g., an IPO or other liquidity event). For illustration purposes, assuming the optional conversion right is exercised today, based on the current capitalization and the $50,000,000 assumed valuation specified for an optional conversion in the Notes, there would be 4,705,224 additional shares issued; provided however, that each holder of Notes is subject to a maximum 9.99% ownership of the shares of capital stock of the Company at any one time. This illustration calculation does not account for the 6% interest component.
Series The current Series of the Trust are set forth on Schedule A hereto. The Trustees may from time to time authorize the division of Shares into additional Series. The relative rights, preferences, privileges, limitations, restrictions and other relative terms of any Series shall be established and designated by the Trustees, and may be modified by the Trustees from time to time, upon and subject to the following provisions:
(i) Subject to variations between Classes of Shares of a Series, all Shares shall be identical except that there may be such variations as shall be fixed and determined by the Trustees from time to time between different Series, including, without limitation, as to qualifications for ownership, minimum purchase amounts, minimum account size, purchase price, fees and expenses, redemptions, conversions and exchanges, and special and relative rights as to dividends and on liquidation, and each Series shall have such business purpose or investment objective as shall be determined by the Trustees. Each Share of a Series shall represent a beneficial interest in the net assets allocated or belonging to such Series only, and such interest shall not extend to the assets of the Trust generally (except to the extent that General Assets (as defined below) are allocated to such Series). All references to Shares in this Declaration shall be deemed to include references to Shares of any or all Series as the context may require.
(ii) The number of authorized Shares of each Series and the number of Shares of each Series that may be issued shall be unlimited. The Trustees may divide or combine any issued or unissued Shares of any Series into a greater or lesser number; classify or reclassify any issued or unissued Shares into one or more Series; terminate any one or more Series; change the name of a Series; and take such other action with respect to the Series as the Trustees may deem desirable.
(iii) All consideration received by the Trust for the issue or sale of Shares of a particular Series, together with all assets in which such consideration is invested or reinvested, all income, earnings, profits and proceeds thereof, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same may be (collectively, the "Assets"), shall irrevocably belong to that Series for all purposes, subject only to the rights of creditors of such Series, and shall be so recorded upon the books of the Trust. Such Assets, together with any General Assets (as hereinafter defined) allocated to that Series as provided in the following sentence, are herein referred to as "Assets belonging to" that Series. In the event that there are any assets, income, earnings, profits or proceeds thereof, funds or payments which are not readily identifiable as Assets belonging to any particular Series (collectively, the "General Assets"), the Trustees shall allocate such General Assets to and among any one or more of the Series created from time to time in such manner and on such basis as they deem fair and equitable; and any General Assets allocated to a particular Series shall be Assets belonging to that Series. Each such allocation by the Trustees shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders of all Series for all purposes. Separate and distinct records shall be maintained for each Series and the Assets belonging to each Series shall be held and accounted for in such separate and distinct records separately from the Assets belonging to all other Series and the General Assets of the Trust not allocated to such Series.
(iv) The Assets belonging to a particular Series shall be charged with the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Trust in respect of that Series and with all expenses, costs, charges and reserves attributable to that Series (collectively, the "Liabilities"), which Liabilities shall be recorded upon the books of the Trust. Such Liabilities together with any General Liabilities (as hereinafter defined) allocated to that Series as provided in the following sentence, are herein referred to as "Liabilities belonging to" that Series. In the event there are any debts, liabilities, obligations, expenses, costs, charges or reserves of the Trust that are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Series (collectively, the "General Liabilities"), the Trustees shall allocate and charge such General Liabilities to and among any one or more of the Series created from time to time in such manner and on such basis as they deem fair and equitable; and any General Liabilities so allocated to a particular Series shall belong to that Series. Each such allocation by the Trustees shall be conclusive and binding upon all concerned for all purposes. Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to the right of the Trustees to allocate General Liabilities as herein provided, the Liabilities belonging to a particular Series shall be enforceable only against the Assets belonging to such Series and not against the assets of the Trust generally or against the Assets belonging to any other Series, and none of the General Liabilities incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to the Trust generally or any Liabilities incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to any other Series shall be enforceable against the Assets belonging to such Series. Notice of this contractual limitation on liabilities among Series shall be set forth in the Certificate of Trust (whether originally or by amendment) as filed or to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to the Delaware Act, and upon the giving of such notice in the Certificate of Trust, the statutory provisions of ss.3804(a) of the Delaware Act relating to limitations on liabilities among Series (and the statutory effect under ss.3804(a) of setting forth such notice in the Certificate of Trust) shall become applicable to the Trust and each Series. Any Person extending credit to, contracting with or having any claim against any Series may look only to the Assets belonging to that Series to satisfy or enforce any Liability belonging to that Series. No Shareholder or former Shareholder of any Series, in such capacity, shall have a claim on or any right to any Assets belonging to any other Series or the Trust generally.
New Notes For so long as a Note is not included in a Securitization, the Holder of such Note (the “Resizing Holder”) shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Borrower to execute amended and restated notes (“Amended Notes”) or additional notes (“New Notes”) reallocating the principal of the Note or Notes that it owns (but in no case any Note that it does not then own) among Amended Notes and New Notes or severing a Note into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Note or Notes being amended or created, provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of the Amended Notes and New Notes following such amendments is no greater than the principal balance of the Amended Notes and New Notes prior to such amendments, (ii) all New Notes continue to have the same interest rate as the Amended Note of which it was a part prior to such amendments, (iii) all New Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis with the Amended Notes and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement and (iv) the Resizing Holder holding the New Notes shall notify each other Holder, as applicable, and, if any other Note has been included in a securitization, the parties under each applicable PSA, in writing (which may be by email) of such modified allocations and principal amounts. In connection with the foregoing, (1) the Master Servicer is hereby authorized to execute amendments to the Loan Agreement and this Agreement (or to amend and restate the Loan Agreement and this Agreement) on behalf of any or all of the Holders for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal or such severing of a Note, (2) if a Note is severed into “component” notes, such component notes shall each have their same rights as the respective original Note, (3) the definition of the term “Securitization” and all of the related defined terms may be amended (and new terms added, as necessary) to reflect the New Notes and (4) if Note A-1 is severed into “component” notes, another note (or one of the New Notes) may be substituted for Note A-1 in the definition of “Designated Holder” and “Directing Holder” and the definitions of “Lead Note” and “Lead Securitization” and “Non-Directing Holder” will be revised accordingly. Neither Rating Agency Confirmation nor approval of the Directing Holder shall be required for any amendments to this Agreement required to facilitate the terms of this Section 18(a). The Resizing Holder whose Note is being reallocated or split pursuant to this Section 18(a) shall reimburse the other Holders for all costs and expenses incurred by the other Holders in connection with the reallocation or split.
Term Notes (i) The Term Notes shall be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A-1, A-2, A-3 or A-4, as applicable; provided, further, that any of the Term Notes may be issued with appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and variations, and may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon such legend or legends, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Base Indenture, as may be required to comply with any law or with rules or regulations pursuant thereto, or with the rules of any securities market in which the Term Notes may be admitted to trading, or to conform to general usage. The Term Notes shall be issuable in book-entry form and in accordance with Section 2.03 beneficial ownership interests in the Book-Entry Notes shall initially be held and transferred through the book-entry facilities of the Depositary; provided, that, if specified in the applicable Series Supplement, all or a portion of any Class or Series of Term Notes may be initially issued in fully registered, certificated form (the “Definitive Term Notes” and together with the Definitive Variable Funding Notes, the “Definitive Notes”). The Notes shall be issued in minimum denominations of $25,000 and in any whole dollar denomination in excess thereof.
(ii) The Term Notes shall be executed by manual, electronic or facsimile signature by an Authorized Officer of the Issuer. The Term Notes bearing the manual, electronic or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the Authorized Officers of the Issuer shall be entitled to all benefits under this Base Indenture, subject to the following sentence, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Term Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Term Notes. No Term Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Base Indenture, or be valid for any purpose, however, unless there appears on such Term Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Indenture Trustee by manual, electronic or facsimile signature, and such certificate of authentication upon any Term Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Term Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticate and deliver any Term Notes executed by the Issuer for issuance pursuant to this Base Indenture. All Term Notes shall be dated the date of their authentication.
(iii) The aggregate principal amount of the Term Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Base Indenture shall be unlimited.
