第2.06節 [保留]。
第2.07條 登記、轉讓和兌換登記.
(a)契約受託人（以該身份，“備註：註冊人“）應安排在其公司信託辦公室保存一份登記冊（“備註登記簿”），其中，在其可能規定的合理法規的情況下，票據登記官應規定票據的登記和此類票據的轉讓的登記。 根據本規範第163（f）條、第871（h）（2）條和第881（c）（2）條，註釋旨在成爲登記形式的義務。
(b)每個擁有或獲得票據中任何所有權權益的人應通過接受或獲得該所有權權益被視爲同意受本條款的約束 第2.07節 並已確認、代表和同意以下內容（或就買家而言，根據票據購買協議商定）：
(i)僅就截止日期出售的票據而言，持有人是1940年法案第2（a）（51）條定義的「合格購買者」（“合格購買者”）或《證券法》D法規第501（a）（1）、（2）、（3）或（7）條定義的機構「認可投資者」（“機構認可投資者”），並且如果任何買家作爲一個或多個投資者帳戶的受託人或代理人購買票據，則該投資者是機構認可投資者，買家對每個此類帳戶擁有獨家投資自由裁量權，並擁有全權代表此類帳戶做出此處包含的確認、陳述和協議。
(ii)對於在截止日期後的任何日期獲得票據任何所有權權益的任何持有人，該持有人（A）（1）是QIB，（2）知道向其出售是根據規則144 A進行的，並且（3）正在爲其自己的利益收購票據或其中的權益（而不是爲他人）或作爲他人的受託代理（其他人也是QIB並已簽署一份包含以下內容的協議
A-5
[*] =某些信息已被排除在本展覽之外，因爲它都不是重要的
如果公開披露，可能會對公司造成傷害。

與本文提供的陳述基本相同），或（B）不是美國人，並且正在根據S法規在離岸交易中購買票據或其中的權益。該持有人意識到，其（或其購買的Qib的任何帳戶）可能需要無限期地承擔投資票據的經濟風險，並且其（或該帳戶）能夠無限期地承擔此類風險。
(iii)各持有人明白，票據及其權益是以不涉及《證券法》所指的任何美國公開發行的交易方式發售的，且該等票據從未或將不會根據《證券法》或任何其他適用的證券法註冊，以及(A)如果未來決定發售、再出售、質押或以其他方式轉讓任何票據或其中的任何權益，則該等票據(或其中的權益)的發行、再出售、質押或轉讓的面額不得低於最低面額，而在每種情況下，其面額均不得超過1,000美元的整數倍，且僅限於(1)在美國境內賣方合理地相信是符合規則第144A條規定的交易中的合格投資者的人(代表其本人而不是爲他人的帳戶行事，或作爲其他合格投資者的受信人或代理人，而該通知是依據第144A條作出的)，(2)在美國境外符合S規則的規定的交易，或(3)根據證券法的另一項豁免註冊(如有，並由發行人和企業受託人接受的大律師的意見證明)，根據美國任何州及任何其他適用司法管轄區的任何適用證券法，在第(1)至(3)項情況下，(B)持有人及其後每名受讓人須將上述轉售限制通知該等票據或其中權益的任何後續持有人。儘管有上述限制，任何原本以不少於最低面額的數額正式發行的票據或其中的任何權益，如該較小面額純粹是由於按照本契約付款而導致本金減少所致，則可以低於最低面額的面額發售、轉售、質押或以其他方式轉讓。
(iv)持有人確認Sunnova實體、契約受託人、購買者或配售代理或代表Sunnova實體的任何人士、契約受託人或配售代理均未就Sunnova實體或任何票據的銷售向其作出任何陳述，但交易文件中所載的信息除外，交易文件已交付予持有人，並據此作出有關票據的投資決定；因此，持有人承認Sunnova實體、契約受託人或配售代理並無就該等資料的準確性或完整性作出任何陳述或保證；並已取得其認爲與決定購買任何票據有關的有關Sunnova實體及票據的財務及其他資料，包括有機會向Sunnova實體、契約受託人及配售代理提出問題及索取資料。它承認，在任何時間交付交易文件並不意味着本文中的信息在該日期之後的任何時間都是正確的。

如果公開披露，可能會對公司造成傷害。

(v)持有人明白，除非發行人及其持有人另有協議，否則票據將帶有大致如下含義的說明：
根據修訂後的1933年證券法(「證券法」)，或根據美國任何州的證券或藍天法律或任何外國證券法，本票據或本票據中的任何權益都不會、也不會根據1933年的證券法進行註冊或限定。因此，在沒有此類登記或適用豁免的情況下，不得提供、出售或以其他方式轉讓本票據或本票據中的任何權益。茲通知本票據的持有者和受讓人或本票據中的任何權益的賣方，本票據或本票據中的權益的賣方可依據本規則第144A條規定的證券法第5條的豁免，並通過收購本票據或本票據中的權益(1)表示(A)其是第144A條所界定的「合格機構買方」，並且已在符合第144A條要求的交易中獲得本票據或本票據中的該權益，(B)它不是美國人，於「離岸交易」(定義見S規例)或(C)收購本票據或本票據的權益，乃根據證券法第144條(規則「第144」條)提供的豁免或根據另一項根據證券法註冊的現有豁免，以及(A)至(C)在上述(A)至(C)的情況下，按照美國任何州或任何其他適用司法管轄區的任何適用證券法而取得的。
每個持有人和轉讓人（並且如果持有人或轉讓人是受益人投資者或受類似法律約束的人，則其附屬機構）通過其購買本票據或權益，此處被視爲已代表和承諾（1）它不是，也不是爲或代表或以其資產獲取票據或任何權益，經修訂的1974年《僱員退休收入保障法》（「ERISA」）第3（3）節定義的任何僱員福利金，受ERISA標題I或《守則》第4975（E）（1）節定義的任何其他「福利金」，受第4975條的約束
A-7
[*] =某些信息已被排除在本展覽之外，因爲它都不是重要的
如果公開披露，可能會對公司造成傷害。

由於僱員福利計劃或計劃對該實體(每個「福利計劃投資者」)的投資，或受與ERISA第4975條(「類似法律」)基本相似的法律約束的任何計劃的投資，守則或其標的資產包括計劃資產的任何實體(經ERISA第3(42)條修改)，或(2)如果持有人或受讓人是福利計劃投資者或受類似法律約束的計劃，則購買、持有或處置本票據或此處的權益並不會導致根據ERISA或守則第4975條的非豁免禁止交易或違反類似法律的非豁免禁止交易，且發行人、購買者、配售代理或其各自的任何合作伙伴、股東、董事、高級管理人員、僱員、代表或聯營公司、發起人、Sunnova管理層、交易經理、交易過渡經理或契約受託人已提供或將提供持有人或受讓人或該持有人或受讓人的任何受信人所依據的任何投資建議，作爲決定投資票據或其中任何權益的主要依據。
本票據或本票據中任何權益的持有人爲發行人的利益同意：(A)本票據和本票據中的任何權益只能以100,000美元的最低面額和超過1,000美元的整數倍的面值提供、轉售、質押或以其他方式轉讓，並且只能(I)在美國向賣方合理地相信是合格機構買家(如證券法第144A條所界定)的人在符合第144A條要求的交易中(代表其自己的帳戶行事，而不是爲他人的帳戶行事，或作爲其他合格機構買家的受託代理人或代理人，通知銷售，質押或轉讓是依據第144A條)，(Ii)在美國境外的離岸交易中，按照證券法下的S法規，或(Iii)根據證券法下的另一項豁免(如果有，並由發行人和契約受託人可以接受的大律師的意見證明)，在每種情況下(I)至(Iii)按照任何
A-8
[*] =某些信息已被排除在本展覽之外，因爲它都不是重要的
如果公開披露，可能會對公司造成傷害。

Any references in the Transaction Documents to amounts on deposit in the Liquidity Reserve Account shall include the value of the Letter of Credit unless specifically excluded. If the amounts on deposit in the Liquidity Reserve Account are represented by a Letter of Credit, the Indenture Trustee shall be required to submit the drawing documents to the Eligible Letter of Credit Bank to draw the full stated amount of the Letter of Credit and deposit the proceeds therefrom in the Liquidity Reserve Account in the following circumstances: (i) if the Indenture Trustee is directed by the Transaction Manager on behalf of the Issuer, pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate, to withdraw funds from the Liquidity Reserve Account for any reason; (ii) if the Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire in accordance with its terms and has not been extended or replaced with a Letter of Credit issued by an Eligible Letter of Credit Bank by the date that is ten days prior to the expiration date; or (iii) if the Indenture Trustee is directed by the Issuer, the Transaction Manager or the Majority Noteholders of the Controlling Class, pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate stating that the financial institution issuing the Letter of Credit ceases to be an Eligible Letter of Credit Bank.

Section 5.07    Equity Cure.
(a)In the event that the sum of the amounts received in clause (i)(A) of the definition of DSCR results in the DSCR for any Collection Period to be less than 1.25 (any such event, a "Potential Equity Cure Event"), then on or prior to the date that is one Business Day prior to the related Determination Date, Sunnova Energy may, in its sole and absolute discretion, make a payment to the Issuer (as an indirect cash equity capital contribution through the Depositor, to be immediately deposited into the Collection Account and be part of Available Funds) in an amount equal to the amount in cash that, if deemed added to the sum specified in clause (i)(A) of the definition of DSCR, would cause the DSCR to be greater than 1.25 (each such payment by Sunnova Energy, an "Equity Cure Payment").
(b)In the event that Sunnova Energy elects to make an Equity Cure Payment, Sunnova Energy shall notify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Transaction Manager of such election on or prior to the date that is not later than three Business Days prior to the related Determination Date. Upon timely payment and deposit of the Equity Cure Payment into the Collection Account, the Equity Cure Payment shall be added to the sum specified in clause (i)(A) of the definition of DSCR for purposes of calculating the DSCR as of the applicable Determination Date.
(c)Sunnova Energy shall not be permitted to make an Equity Cure Payment more frequently than one (1) time with respect to any three consecutive Collection Periods and more than three times prior to the Rated Final Maturity. For avoidance of doubt, Sunnova Energy shall not be permitted to make an Equity Cure Payment during an Early Amortization Period or a Sequential Interest Amortization Period.
Section 5.08    Early Amortization Period Payments and Sequential Interest Amortization Period Payments. Any distributions of principal made during an Early Amortization Period or a Sequential Interest Amortization Period will be allocated in the following manner to determine any unpaid amounts on future Payment Dates: first, to the Scheduled Note Principal Payment amount calculated for such Class of Notes for such Payment Date; and second, to the Unscheduled Note Principal Payment amount calculated for such Class of Notes for such Payment Date. Any principal payments made in excess of the amounts allocated to the Scheduled Note Principal Payment and Unscheduled Note Principal Payment for such Payment Date will be considered an additional paydown of principal.
Section 5.09    Note Payments.
(a)The Indenture Trustee shall pay from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account in accordance with the Quarterly Transaction Report and the Priority of Payments to each Noteholder of record as of the related Record Date either (i) by wire transfer, in immediately available funds to the account of such Noteholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Noteholder shall have provided to the Indenture Trustee appropriate written instructions at least five Business Days prior to the related Payment Date (which instructions may remain in effect for subsequent Payment Dates unless revoked by such Noteholder), or (ii) if not, by check mailed to such Noteholder at the address of such Noteholder appearing in the Note Register, the amounts to be paid to such Noteholder pursuant to such Noteholder’s Notes.

(b)In the event that any withholding Tax is imposed on the Issuer's payment (or allocations of income) to a Noteholder, such withholding Tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Noteholder in accordance with this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Noteholders sufficient funds for the payment of any withholding Tax that is legally owed by the Issuer as instructed by the Transaction Manager, in writing in a Quarterly Transaction Report (but such authorization shall not prevent the Indenture Trustee from contesting at the expense of the applicable Noteholder any such withholding Tax in appropriate Proceedings, and withholding payment of such withholding Tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such Proceedings). The amount of any withholding Tax imposed with respect to a Noteholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Noteholder at the time it is withheld by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee (at the direction of the Transaction Manager or the Issuer) and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding Tax is payable with respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a non-U.S. Noteholder), the Indenture Trustee may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this clause (b). In the event that a Noteholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding Tax, the Indenture Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with such Noteholder in making such claim so long as such Noteholder agrees to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.
(c)Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of its Note, will be deemed to have consented to the provisions of the Priority of Payments.
(d)For all Tax purposes, each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to, and hereby instructs the Indenture Trustee to, (i) treat the Notes as indebtedness for all tax purposes and (ii) take no action or fail to take any action, which could reasonably be expected to prevent the Notes from being treated as indebtedness for any applicable tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
(e)Each Noteholder by its acceptance of a Note or an interest in a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer, upon request, with the Noteholder Tax Identification Information and, to the extent FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, the Noteholder FATCA Information. Each Noteholder shall update or replace its previously provided Noteholder Tax Identification Information and Noteholder FATCA Information promptly if requested by the Indenture Trustee; provided that nothing herein shall require the Indenture Trustee to make such request. In addition, each Noteholder will be deemed to agree that the Indenture Trustee has the right to withhold from any amount of interest or other amounts (without any corresponding gross-up) payable to a Noteholder that fails to comply with the foregoing requirements. The Issuer hereby covenants with the Indenture Trustee that the Issuer will cooperate with the Indenture Trustee in obtaining sufficient information so as to enable the Indenture Trustee to (i) determine whether or not the Indenture Trustee is obliged to make any withholding, including FATCA Withholding Tax, in respect of any payments with respect to a Note and (ii) to effectuate any such withholding. The parties agree that the Indenture Trustee shall be released of any liability arising from properly complying with this Section 5.09 and FATCA. The Issuer agrees to provide to the Indenture Trustee copies of any Noteholder Tax Identification Information and any Noteholder FATCA Information received by the Issuer from any Noteholder. Upon reasonable request from the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer will provide such additional information that it may have to assist the Indenture Trustee in making any withholdings or informational reports.

The obligation of the Indenture Trustee set forth in this paragraph shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that information shall be provided by the Indenture Trustee, in the form of Form 1099 or other comparable form, pursuant to any requirements of the Code.
The Issuer shall cause the Transaction Manager, at the Transaction Manager’s expense, to cause a firm of Independent Accountants to prepare any Tax Returns required to be filed by the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee, upon reasonable written request, shall furnish the Issuer with all such information in the possession of the Indenture Trustee as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return of the Issuer.
Section 5.11    Reports by Indenture Trustee. Within five Business Days after the end of each Collection Period, the Indenture Trustee shall provide or make available electronically (or upon written request, by first class mail or facsimile) to the Transaction Manager a written report (electronic means shall be sufficient) setting forth the amounts in the Collection Account, the Liquidity Reserve Account and the Supplemental Reserve Account, and the identity of the investments included therein, as applicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall, upon the written request of the Transaction Manager, promptly transmit or make available electronically to the Transaction Manager, copies of all accountings of, and information with respect to, the Collection Account, the Liquidity Reserve Account and the Supplemental Reserve Account, investments thereof, as applicable, and payments thereto and therefrom.
Section 5.12    Final Balances. On the Termination Date, all moneys remaining in all Accounts, shall be, subject to applicable escheatment laws, remitted to, or at the direction of, the Issuer and after the return of such funds (or disposition thereof pursuant to applicable escheatment laws), the Indenture Trustee will have no liability with respect to such funds, and Holders shall look solely only to the Issuer for such amounts.

(d)If a Voluntary Prepayment Date occurs prior to the Make Whole Determination Date for a Class of Notes, the Issuer will be required to pay the Noteholders the applicable Make Whole Amount. No Make Whole Amount will be due to the Noteholders if a Voluntary Prepayment is made on or after the Make Whole Determination Date for the related Class of Notes.
(e)If the Issuer elects to rescind the Voluntary Prepayment, it must give written notice to the Indenture Trustee of such determination at least two Business Days prior to the Voluntary Prepayment Date. If a Voluntary Prepayment of the Notes has been rescinded pursuant to this Section 6.01(e), the Indenture Trustee shall provide notice of such rescission to the registered owner of each Note which had been subject to the rescinded redemption at the address shown on the Note Register maintained by the Note Registrar with copies to the Issuer, Sunnova Energy, the Depositor and the Rating Agency.

The Holders of the Notes shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, subject to the express terms of this Indenture, to receive payment of principal and interest on such Notes, subject to the respective relative priorities provided for in this Indenture, as such principal and interest becomes due and payable from the Trust Estate and, subject to Section 9.06 to institute Proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired except as expressly permitted herein without the consent of such Holders.
Section 9.08    Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 9.10    Delay or Omission; Not Waiver.

(a)The power to effect any sale of any portion of the Trust Estate pursuant to this Article IX shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales as to any portion of the Trust Estate remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Trust Estate securing the Notes shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes and under this Indenture with respect thereto shall have been paid. The Indenture Trustee, acting on its own or through an agent, may from time to time postpone any sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such sale.
(b)The Indenture Trustee shall not, in any private sale, sell to a third party the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof unless (1) the Super-Majority Noteholders of the Controlling Class direct the Indenture Trustee, in writing, to make such sale and (2) either (i) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation are sufficient to discharge in full the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and accrued interest and the fees and all other amounts required to be paid pursuant the Priority of Payments or (ii) the Holders of 100% of the principal amount of each Class of Notes then Outstanding consent thereto.

If the Originator does not exercise its Right of First Refusal within two Business Days of receipt thereof, then the Indenture Trustee shall sell the Trust Estate as otherwise set forth in this Section 9.15; provided, further, that if the Originator does not exercise its Right of First Refusal and the Indenture Trustee elects to sell the Trust Estate in a private sale to a third party, then prior to the sale thereof, the Indenture Trustee shall offer the Originator the opportunity to purchase the Trust Estate for the purchase price being offered by such third party, and the Originator shall have two Business Days to accept such offer.

The Notes need not be produced in order to complete any such sale, or in order for the net proceeds of such sale to be credited against the Notes. The Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders may hold, lease, operate, manage or otherwise deal with any property so acquired in any manner permitted by law.
(d)The Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a sale thereof. In addition, the Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a sale thereof, pursuant to this Section 9.15, and to take all action necessary to effect such sale. No purchaser or transferee at such a sale shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any monies.
(e)The method, manner, time, place and terms of any sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate shall be commercially reasonable.
(f)This Section 9.15 is subject to Section 7.01(i).
Section 9.16    Action on Notes.

A-74
[***] = Certain information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is both not material

to such particular application or request, no additional certificate or Opinion of Counsel need be furnished.
Section 12.02    Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.
(a)If several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
(b)Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by outside counsel, unless such Authorized Officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion or any Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Authorized Officer of any relevant Person, describing that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of such Person, unless such officer or counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may be based on the written opinion of other counsel, in which event such Opinion of Counsel shall be accompanied by a copy of such other counsel’s opinion and shall include a statement to the effect that such counsel believes that such counsel and the Indenture Trustee may reasonably rely upon the opinion of such other counsel.
(c)Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, notices, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.
(d)Wherever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer or the Transaction Manager shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s or the Transaction Manager’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such notice or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such notice or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Section 7.01(b)(ii).
(e)Wherever in this Indenture it is provided that the absence of the occurrence and continuation of a Default, an Event of Default or a Transaction Manager Termination Event is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Indenture Trustee at the request or direction of the Issuer, then notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer’s or the Indenture Trustee’s right to make such request or direction, the Indenture Trustee shall be protected in acting in accordance with such request or direction if a

Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee does not have actual knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of such Default, Event of Default or Transaction Manager Termination Event.
Section 12.03    Acts of Noteholders.
(a)Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture 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 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 Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, 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 of this Indenture and (subject to Section 7.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 12.03.
(b)The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a limited liability company or a partnership on behalf of such corporation, limited liability company or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.
(c)The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.
(d)Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration or transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, with respect to anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Notes.
Section 12.04    Notices, Etc. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with:

or report to Noteholders is mailed in the manner provided above, neither the failure to mail such notice or report, nor any defect in any notice or report so mailed, to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice or report with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice or report which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given or provided.
(b)Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
(c)If, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to the Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.
(d)The Indenture Trustee shall, on or before each Payment Date, make available to each Noteholder each Quarterly Transaction Report and, unless directed to do so under any other provision of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document (in which case no request shall be necessary), a copy of all reports, financial statements and notices received by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents, but only with the use of a password provided by the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to provide such information described in this Section 12.05 until it has received the requisite information from the Issuer or the Transaction Manager.

Section 12.14    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) This Indenture and each Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the substantive laws of the State of New York (including New York General Obligations Laws §§ 5-1401 and 5-1402, but otherwise without regard to conflicts of law provisions thereof, except with regard to the UCC) applicable to agreements made and to be performed therein.

The foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Trust Estate or any Person (other than the Issuer) for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Trust Estate, (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Class B Notes or secured by the Indenture, but the same shall continue until paid or discharged, or (iii) prevent the Indenture Trustee from exercising its rights with respect to the Grant, pursuant to the Indenture, of the Issuer’s rights under the Transaction Documents. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Indenture Trustee under the Indenture or the Issuer as a party defendant in any action or suit or in the exercise of any remedy under the Notes or the Indenture, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall

The remedies of the Holder of this Class B Note as provided herein, in the Indenture or in the other Transaction Documents, shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued solely against the assets of the Trust Estate. No failure on the part of the Noteholder in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver or release thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy hereunder.
The Class B Notes are issuable only in definitive form in denominations as provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. At the option of the Class B Noteholder, Class B Notes may be exchanged for Class B Notes of like terms, in any authorized denominations and of like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee, subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture.
