ARTICLE TWO
ESTABLISHMENT OF CONTROL OVER 2014-A COLLATERAL ACCOUNTS
Section 2.01. Establishment of 2014-A Collateral Accounts. The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms that (i) the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Servicer, has established each 2014-A Collateral Account with the Securities Intermediary, (ii) each 2014-A Collateral Account is an account to which Financial Assets are or may be credited, (iii) the Securities Intermediary shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture, treat the Assignee-Secured Party as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any Financial Asset credited to any 2014-A Collateral Account, (iv) all property delivered to the Securities Intermediary by or on behalf of the Assignee-Secured Party or the Initial Secured Party for deposit to any 2014-A Collateral Account will promptly be credited to the related 2014-A Collateral Account and (v) all securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to any 2014-A Collateral Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case will any Financial Asset credited to any 2014-A Collateral Account be registered in the name of the Transferor or the Initial Secured Party, payable to the order of the Transferor or the Initial Secured Party or specially endorsed to the Transferor or the Initial Secured Party except to the extent the foregoing have been specially endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank.
Section 2.02. “Financial Assets” Election. The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that each item of property (whether investment property, financial asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to any 2014-A Collateral Account shall be treated as a “Financial Asset” as set forth in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.
Section 2.03. Entitlement Orders. If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any Entitlement Order from the Assignee-Secured Party with respect to any 2014-A Collateral Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such Entitlement Order without further consent by the Transferor, the Initial Secured Party or any other Person. If at any time the Assignee-Secured Party notifies the Securities Intermediary in writing that the Lien of the Indenture has been released and all Issuer Obligations have been paid, the Securities Intermediary shall thereafter comply with Entitlement Orders with respect to each 2014-A Collateral Account from the Initial Secured Party without further consent by the Transferor or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the Securities Intermediary receives conflicting orders or instructions from the Assignee-Secured Party and the Initial Secured Party, the Securities Intermediary will follow the orders or instructions of the Assignee-Secured Party and not the Initial Secured Party.
Section 2.04. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. In the event that the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security interest in any 2014-A Collateral Account or any Security Entitlement credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interests of the Assignee-Secured Party and the Initial Secured Party. The Financial Assets and other items deposited to any 2014-A Collateral Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien or any other right in favor of any Person or entity other than the
3
Assignee-Secured Party and, subject to the provisions hereof, the Initial Secured Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities Intermediary may set off against amounts on deposit in any 2014-A Collateral Account (i) all amounts due to it in respect of its customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of such 2014-A Collateral Account and (ii) the face amount of any checks which have been credited to such 2014-A Collateral Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds.
Section 2.05. Notice of Adverse Claims. Except for the claims and interests of the Initial Secured Party and the Assignee-Secured Party in each 2014-A Collateral Account, the Securities Intermediary does not know of any claim to, or interest in, any 2014-A Collateral Account or in any Financial Asset credited to any 2014-A Collateral Account. If any Person asserts any Lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against any 2014-A Collateral Account or in any Financial Asset within any 2014-A Collateral Account, the Securities Intermediary will promptly notify the Assignee-Secured Party, the Initial Secured Party and the Transferor thereof.
