Subsequent to a transfer and upon the issuance of the new Certificate or Certificates, the Owner Trustee shall cancel and destroy the Certificate surrendered to it in connection with such transfer. The Owner Trustee may treat, for all purposes whatsoever, the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the sole owner of the beneficial interest in the Issuer evidenced by such Certificate, and neither the Owner Trustee nor any agent of the Owner Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
(b) As a condition precedent to any registration of transfer under this Section 3.5, the Owner Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover the payment of any tax or taxes or other governmental charges required to be paid in connection with such transfer.
(c) The Owner Trustee shall not be obligated to register any transfer of a Certificate unless each of the transferor and the transferee have certified to the Owner Trustee that such transfer does not violate any of the transfer restrictions stated herein including, but not limited to clauses (d) and (e) of this Section 3.5. The Owner Trustee shall not be liable to any Person for registering any transfer based on such certifications.
(d) No transfer (or purported transfer) of all or any part of a Certificateholder’s interest (or any economic interest therein), whether to another Certificateholder or to a Person who is not a Certificateholder, shall be effective, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any such transfer (or purported transfer) shall be void ab initio, and no Person shall otherwise become a Certificateholder if, after such transfer (or purported transfer), the Issuer would have more than 95 direct or indirect holders of an interest in the Certificates. For purposes of determining whether the Issuer will have more than 95 direct or indirect holders of an interest in the Certificates, each Person indirectly owning an interest through a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a grantor trust or an S Corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (within the meaning of Section 1361(a)(1) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or a disregarded entity the single owner of which is any of the foregoing) (each such entity, a “flow-through entity”) shall be treated as a Certificateholder unless the Depositor determines in its sole and absolute discretion, after consulting with qualified tax counsel, that less than substantially all of the value of the beneficial owner’s interest in the flow-through entity is attributable to the flow-through entity’s interest (direct or indirect) in the Issuer.
(e) No transfer shall be permitted if the same is effected through an established securities market or secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code or would make the Issuer ineligible for “safe harbor” treatment under Section 7704 of the Code.
(f) No transfer shall be permitted unless the transferee that would be the beneficial owner of the interest in the Certificate is a “United States person” (as defined in Code section 7701(a)(30)) and shall deliver to the Owner Trustee and the Administrator a properly completed and duly executed original of U.S. Internal Revenue Service form W-9 (or applicable successor form) certifying that it is a United States person and not subject to backup withholding. Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Issuer shall recognize any purchase or transfer of Certificates that is to a Person other than a United States person.
(g) No transfer will be required to be registered under the Securities Act.
(h) In the event that the Depositor (or an Affiliate of the Depositor that owns any Certificates) intends to transfer any of the Certificates to a third party, the parties to this Agreement will amend this Agreement as necessary to prevent any application of the Treasury Regulations under Section 385 of the Code (including any subsequent or successor provision) that would result in the recharacterization of any of the Notes as equity.
