Whereas, the Depositor, the Property Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, and the then administrative trustees of the Trust, entered into that certain Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of March 16, 2006 (the “Amended and Restated Trust Agreement”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, to amend and restate the Original Trust Agreement in its entirety as set forth therein in order to provide for, among other things, (a) the issuance of the Common Securities by the Trust to the Depositor, (b) the issuance and sale of the Preferred Securities by the Trust pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (c) the acquisition by the Trust from the Depositor of all of the right, title, and interest in and to the Notes.

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the agreements and obligations set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each party hereto, for the benefit of the other parties hereto and for the benefit of the Holders, hereby amends the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement and agrees as follows:
 
SECTION 1.        Addition of Defined Terms to Section 1.1.  Section 1.1 of the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement is amended to include the following defined terms:
 
“Amendment Date” means October 23, 2009.
 
“Initial Rate Period” has the meaning specified in Section 4.1.
 
“Fixed Rate Period” has the meaning specified in Section 4.1.
 

 

 
 

 

 
SECTION 2.        Section 4.1.  Section 4.1 of the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement is replaced in its entirety with the following:
 
“SECTION 4.1.  Distributions.
 
(a)        The Trust Securities represent undivided beneficial interests in the Trust Property, and Distributions (including any Additional Interest Amounts) will be made on the Trust Securities at the rate and on the dates that payments of interest (including any Additional Interest) are made on the Notes.  Accordingly:
 
(i) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be cumulative, and shall accumulate whether or not there are funds of the Trust available for the payment of Distributions.  Distributions shall accumulate from June 30, 2009 to, and including, September 29, 2009, and shall be payable on the Amendment Date, and thereafter shall accumulate from September 30, 2009, and, except as provided in clause (ii) below, shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 of each year, commencing on December 30, 2009.  If any date on which a Distribution is otherwise payable on the Trust Securities is not a Business Day, then the payment of such Distribution shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day (and no interest shall accrue in respect of the amounts whose payment is so delayed for the period from and after each such date until the next succeeding Business Day), except that, if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on such date (each date on which Distributions are payable in accordance with this Section 4.1(a)(i), a “Distribution Date”);
 
(ii) Distributions shall accumulate in respect of the Trust Securities bearing interest at a fixed rate equal to 0.75% per annum, payable quarterly, commencing on June 30, 2009 and ending on the earlier of the (a) the fourth (4th) anniversary date of the Amendment Date and (b) the date on which all of the existing senior secured loans set forth on Schedule B are fully amortized, including deferred restructuring fees, in an amount not to exceed Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) (the “Initial Rate Period”), then at a fixed rate equal to 7.77% per annum through the interest payment date in March 2016 (together with the Initial Rate Period, the “Fixed Rate Period”), and thereafter at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.70% per annum of the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities, such rate being the rate of interest payable on the Notes.  LIBOR shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with Schedule A.  During the Fixed Rate Period, the amount of Distributions payable shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the amount payable for any partial period shall be computed on the basis of the number of days elapsed in a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  Upon expiration of the Fixed Rate Period, the amount of interest payable for any Distribution period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant Distribution period.  The amount of Distributions payable for any period shall include any Additional Interest Amounts in respect of such period; and

(iii) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be made by the Paying Agent from the Payment Account and shall be payable on each Distribution Date only to the extent that the Trust has funds then on hand and legally available in the Payment Account for the payment of such Distributions.

Distributions payable on any Trust Securities that are not punctually paid on any Distribution Date as a result of the Depositor having failed to make an interest payment under the Notes will cease to be payable to the Person in whose name such Trust Securities are registered on the relevant record date, and such defaulted Distributions and any Additional Interest Amounts will instead be payable to the Person in whose name such Trust Securities are registered on the special record date, or other specified date for determining Holders entitled to such defaulted Distribution and Additional Interest Amount, established in the same manner, and on the same date, as such is established with respect to the Notes under the Indenture.
 
(c)        As a condition to the payment of any principal of or interest on the Trust Securities without the imposition of withholding tax, the Administrative Trustees shall require the previous delivery of properly completed and signed applicable U.S. federal income tax certifications (generally, an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) in the case of a person that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code or an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or applicable successor form) in the case of a person that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and any other certification acceptable to it to enable the Property Trustee or any Paying Agent to determine in good faith their respective duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes or other charges that they may be required to pay, deduct or withhold in respect of such Trust Securities.”
 
SECTION 3.        Section 5.2.  Section 5.2 of the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement is replaced in its entirety with the following:
 
“SECTION 5.2.   Authorized Trust Securities.
 
The Trust shall be authorized to issue one series of Preferred Securities having an aggregate Liquidation Amount of $18,750,000 and one series of Common Securities having an aggregate Liquidation Amount of $464,000.”

“SECTION 5.3.  Issuance of the Trust Securities.
 

 
3

 

On the Amendment Date, contemporaneously with the issuance by the Trust to the Holder of an aggregate of 18,750 Preferred Securities having an aggregate Liquidation Amount of Eighteen Million Seven Hundred Thousand and Fifty Dollars ($18,750,000), an Administrative Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall receive from the Depositor Notes, to be registered in the name of the Property Trustee on behalf of the Trust and having an aggregate principal amount equal to Nineteen Million Two Hundred Fourteen Thousand Dollars ($19,214,000).”
 
SECTION 5.        Amended Exhibit C.  Exhibit C of the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement entitled “Form of Preferred Securities Certificate” is replaced in its entirety with the document attached as Exhibit C to this Amendment.
 
SECTION 6.        Addition of Schedule B.  The Amended and Restated Trust Agreement is amended to include as Schedule B of the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement with the document attached as Exhibit D to this Amendment.
 
SECTION 7.        No Other Amendments.  Except as set forth above, no other amendments to the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement are intended by the parties hereto, are made or shall be deemed to be made, pursuant to this Amendment, and all provisions of the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement unaffected by this Amendment shall remain in full force and effect.
 
SECTION 8.        Capitalized Terms.  Each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement.
 
SECTION 9.        Headings.  The section headings contained in this Amendment are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Amendment.
 
SECTION 10.      Execution of Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
