(b) The
Master Issuer
or the Trustee
by notice to
each other
party may
designate
additional or
different
addresses for
subsequent
notices or
communications;
provided,
however,
the Master
Issuer may not
at any time
designate more
than a total
of three
(3) addresses
to which
notices must
be sent in
order to be
effective.
(c) Any
notice
(i) given in
person shall
be deemed
delivered on
the date of
delivery of
such notice,
(ii) given by
first class
mail shall be
deemed given
five (5) days
after the date
that such
notice is
mailed,
(iii) delivered
by facsimile
shall be
deemed given
on the date of
delivery of
such notice,
(iv) delivered
by overnight
air courier
shall be
deemed
delivered one
(1) Business
Day after the
date that such
notice is
delivered to

courier,
(v) when
posted on a
password-protected
website shall
be deemed
delivered
after notice
of such
posting has
been provided
to the
recipient and
(vi) delivered
by email shall
be deemed
delivered on
the date of
delivery of
such notice.
(d) Notwithstanding
any provisions
of the
Indenture to
the contrary,
the Trustee
shall have no
liability
based upon or
arising from
the failure to
receive any
notice
required by or
relating to
the Indenture,
the Notes or
any other
Related
Document.
(e) If
the Master
Issuer
delivers a
notice or
communication
to
Noteholders,
it shall
deliver a copy
to the Back-Up
Manager, the
Servicer, the
Controlling
Class
Representative
and the
Trustee at the
same time.
(f) Where
the Indenture
provides for
notice to
Noteholders of
any event,
such notice
shall be
sufficiently
given (unless
otherwise
herein
expressly
provided) if
sent in
writing and
mailed,
first-class
postage
prepaid, to
each
Noteholder
affected by
such event, at
its address as
it appears in
the Note
Register, not
later than the
latest date,
and not
earlier than
the earliest
date,
prescribed (if
any) for the
giving of such
notice. In
any case where
notice to a
Noteholder is
given by mail,
neither the
failure to
mail such
notice, nor
any defect in
any notice so
mailed, to any
particular
Noteholder
shall affect
the
sufficiency of
such notice
with respect
to other
Noteholders,
and any notice
which is
mailed in the
manner herein
provided shall
be
conclusively
presumed to
have been duly
given. Where
the 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
Trustee, but
such filing
shall not be a
condition
precedent to
the validity
of any action
taken in
reliance upon
such waiver.
In the case by
reason of the
suspension of
regular mail
service or by
reason of any
other cause it
shall be
impracticable
to give such
notice by
mail, then
such
notification
as shall be
made that is
satisfactory
to the Trustee
shall
constitute a
sufficient
notification
for every
purpose
hereunder.
(g) Notwithstanding
any other
provision
herein, for so
long as Jack
in the Box
Inc. is the
Manager, any
notice,
communication,
certificate,
report,
statement or
other
information
required to be
delivered by
the Manager to
the Master
Issuer, or by
the Master
Issuer to the
Manager, shall
be deemed to
have been
delivered to
both the
Master Issuer
and the
Manager if the
Manager has
prepared or is
otherwise in
possession of
such notice,
communication,
certificate,
report,
statement or
other
information,
and in no
event shall
the Manager or
the Master
Issuer be in
breach of any
delivery
requirements
hereunder for
constructive
delivery
pursuant to
this Section
14.01(g).
(h) The
Trustee (in
each of its
capacities)
agrees to
accept and act
upon
instructions
or directions
pursuant to
this Base
Indenture or
any documents
executed in
connection
herewith sent
by unsecured
email or other
similar
unsecured
electronic
methods, provided,
however,
that any
person
providing such
instructions
or directions
shall provide
to the Trustee
an incumbency
certificate
listing
persons
designated to
provide such
instructions
or directions
(including the
email
addresses of
such persons),
which
incumbency
certificate
shall be
amended
whenever a
person is
added or
deleted from
the listing.
If such person
elects to give
the Trustee
email (of .pdf
or similar
files) (or
instructions
by a similar
electronic
method) and
the Trustee in
its discretion
elects to act
upon such
instructions,
the Trustee’s
reasonable
understanding
of such
instructions
shall be
deemed
controlling.
The Trustee
shall not be
liable for any
losses, costs
or expenses
arising
directly or
indirectly
from the
Trustee’s
reliance upon
and compliance
with such
instructions
notwithstanding
such
instructions
conflicting
with or being
inconsistent
with a
subsequent
written
instruction.
Any person
providing such
instructions
or directions
agrees to
assume all
risks arising
out of the use
of such
electronic
methods to
submit
instructions
and directions
to the
Trustee,
including
without
limitation the
risk of the
Trustee acting
on
unauthorized
instructions,
and the risk
of
interception
and misuse by
third parties.

any, provided
for in the

Calculation
of Holdco
Leverage Ratio
and Senior ABS
Leverage Ratio.
(a) Holdco
Leverage Ratio.
For purposes
of making the
computation of
the Holdco
Leverage Ratio
(including,
without
limitation the
calculation of
Adjusted
EBITDA used
therein),
investments,
acquisitions,
dispositions,
mergers,
amalgamations,
consolidations
and
discontinued
operations, in
each case with
respect to an
operating unit
of a business,
and any
restructurings
or
reorganizations,
that any of
the
Non-Securitization
Entities has
either
determined to
make or made
during the
preceding four
Quarterly
Collection
Periods or
subsequent to
such preceding
four Quarterly
Collection
Periods and on
or prior to or
simultaneously
with the date
as of which
such
computation is
made (each,
for purposes
of the
calculations
described in
this Section
14.18, a “pro forma
event”)
shall, at the
discretion of
the Manager,
be calculated
on a pro forma
basis assuming
that all such
investments,
acquisitions,
dispositions,
mergers,
amalgamations,
consolidations,
discontinued
operations,
restructurings
and
reorganizations
(and the
change in
Adjusted
EBITDA
resulting
therefrom) had
occurred on
the first day
of such
preceding four
Quarterly
Collection
Periods. If
since the
beginning of
such period
any Person
that
subsequently
became a
Non-Securitization
Entity since
the beginning
of such
preceding four
Quarterly
Collection
Periods shall
have made any
investment,
acquisition,
disposition,
merger,
consolidation,
discontinued
operation,
restructurings
or
reorganizations,
in each case
with respect
to an
operating unit
of a business,
that would
have been
subject to
adjustment
pursuant to
this Section
14.18,
then the
Holdco
Leverage Ratio
shall, at the
discretion of
the Manager,
be calculated
giving pro forma
effect thereto
for such
period as if
such
investment,
acquisition,
disposition,
discontinued
operation,
merger,
consolidation,
restructuring
or
reorganization
had occurred
at the
beginning of
the applicable
preceding four
Quarterly
Collection
Periods.
(b) Senior
ABS Leverage
Ratio.
For purposes
of making the
computation of
the Senior ABS
Leverage Ratio
(including,
without
limitation the
calculation of
Net Cash Flow
used therein),
any pro forma
event shall,
at the
discretion of
the Manager,
be calculated
on a pro forma
basis assuming
that all such
investments,
acquisitions,
dispositions,
mergers,
amalgamations,
consolidations,
discontinued
operations,
restructurings
and
reorganizations
(and the
change in Net
Cash Flow
resulting
therefrom) had
occurred on
the first day
of such
preceding four
Quarterly
Collection
Periods. If
since the
beginning of
such period
any Person
that
subsequently
became a
Securitization
Entity since
the beginning
of such
preceding four
Quarterly
Collection
Periods shall
have made any
investment,
acquisition,
disposition,
merger,
consolidation,
discontinued
operation,
restructurings
or
