Item 2. Identity and Background.

     This statement on Schedule 13D is being filed by Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (the “Reporting Person”). The Reporting Person has its principal offices at 600 Fifth Avenue, 21st Floor, New York, New York, 10020, United States.

     The Reporting Person is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Macquarie Bank Limited (“MBL”), a company formed under the laws of Australia. The Reporting Person is 100% directly owned by Macquarie Investment Holdings Inc. (“MIHI”), a Delaware corporation. Macquarie Holdings (USA) Inc. (“MHUSA”), a Delaware corporation, owns 90% of the shares of common stock of MIHI, the remaining 10% being held by Macquarie International Investments Pty Limited, a company formed under the laws of Australia (“MIIPL”). 100% of MIHI’s preferred stock is held by MIIPL. MHUSA is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Macquarie Equities (US) Holdings Pty Limited, a company formed under the laws of Australia (“MEUSH”). MIIPL and MEUSH are direct wholly owned subsidiaries of MBL, the ultimate controlling entity of the Reporting Person.

     MBL, MEUSH and MIIPL have their principal offices at No. 1 Martin Place, Sydney, New South Wales 2000, Australia. MHUSA and MIHI have their principal offices at 600 Fifth Avenue, 21st Floor, New York, New York, 10020, United States.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

     The Reporting Person acquired 2,000,000 of Shares of Trust Stock of the Issuer pursuant to a Private Placement Agreement dated December 15, 2004 (the “Private Placement Agreement”) among the Reporting Person, Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “LLC”) and the Issuer. The Private Placement Agreement was executed in connection with (i) a Management Services Agreement dated December 21, 2004 (the “Management Services Agreement”) among the Reporting Person, the LLC, Macquarie Infrastructure Company Inc., a Delaware corporation, and certain directly wholly owned subsidiaries of the LLC (each a “Managed Subsidiary” and, together, the “Managed Subsidiaries”), and (ii) a Registration Rights Agreement dated December 21, 2004 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) among the Reporting Person, the LLC and the Issuer.

     Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, the LLC and each Managed Subsidiary has agreed to appoint the Reporting Person to manage their business and affairs under the supervision and control of the respective board of directors of the LLC and each Managed Subsidiary and to perform the services described therein in accordance with the terms of the Management Services Agreement.

     As a condition to the entering into the Management Services Agreement, the Reporting Person agreed, pursuant to the Private Placement Agreement, to acquire from the LLC, in a separate private placement closing concurrently with the initial public offering of the Shares of Trust Stock (the “IPO”), 2,000,000 of Shares of Trust Stock having an aggregate purchase price of $50 million (the “Private Placement”), at a per share purchase price equal to the per share IPO price (the “IPO Price”), consisting of (i) 1,400,000 of Shares of Trust Stock comprising 70% of the Reporting Person’s Private Placement (the “Initial Investment”) and (ii) 600,000 Shares of Trust Stock comprising 30% of the Reporting Person’s Private Placement (the “Additional Investment”). The Additional Investment may be disposed at any time from and after the closing of the IPO, which occurred on December 21, 2004 (the “IPO Closing Date”). The Initial Investment is required to be held for a period of not less than 12 months from the IPO Closing Date. At any time from and after the first anniversary of the IPO Closing Date, the Reporting Person may dispose of a further 35% of the Private Placement and may dispose of the balance of the Private Placement at any time from and after the third anniversary of the IPO Closing Date.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Management Services Agreement, the Reporting Person may be entitled to receive additional shares of Trust stock of the Issuer. The Reporting Person has the right but not the obligation to invest all or portion of the management fees it receives from the LLC and the Managed Subsidiaries, from time to time, in shares of Trust stock in accordance with the terms therein (each, a “Management Fee Investment”, together, the “Management Fee Investments”).

     Pursuant to the terms of the Management Services Agreement, for so long as the Reporting Person or any affiliate of the Reporting Person holds shares of Trust stock with an aggregate value of no less than $5 million, based on the IPO Price, the Reporting Person has the

Page 4 of 94


Table of Contents

right to appoint one director to the LLC’s board of directors and an alternate for such appointee, and such director, or alternate, if applicable, will serve as the chairman of the board of directors. The Reporting Person will also second to the LLC the LLC’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer on a wholly dedicated basis. In addition, the Reporting Person will second to the LLC one or more individuals to serve as officers or otherwise of the LLC, as agreed between the Reporting Person and the LLC.

     As a condition to the Reporting Person’s obligation to purchase shares of Trust stock in the Initial Investment and the Additional Initial Investment and in order to induce the Reporting Person to make Management Fee Investments, the LLC entered into the Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to such Registration Rights Agreement, among other things, each of the LLC and the Issuer has agreed to file a shelf registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the resale of all the shares of Trust stock owned by the Reporting Person as soon as reasonably possible following the first anniversary of the IPO Closing Date, or earlier if requested by the Reporting Person to cover the Additional Investment or any Management Fee Investment.

     Except as set forth above, the Reporting Person has not formulated any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer, (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, (e) any material change in the Issuer’s capitalization or dividend policy, (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, (g) any change in the Issuer’s organizational documents or other or instrument corresponding thereto or other action which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, (h) causing a class of the Issuer’s securities to be deregistered or delisted, (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

     The Private Placement Agreement, the Management Services Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are annexed hereto as Exhibit B, C and D, respectively.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     (a)-(b) In connection with the formation of the Issuer and the LLC, the Reporting Person purchased 100 shares of Trust stock of the Issuer. Therefore, as of this date of this filing, the Reporting Person beneficially owns 2,000,100 shares, which represent 7.52% of the total number of shares of Trust stock outstanding. This ownership percentage assumes there are 26,610,100 shares of Trust stock of the Issuer outstanding, based on the most recently available filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result, the Reporting Person has sole power to direct the vote and to direct the disposition of 2,000,100 Shares.

     (c) Except as disclosed in Item 4, the Reporting Person has not effected any transaction in the Shares of Trust Stock during the past 60 days.

     (d) Not applicable.

     (e) Not applicable.

Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

     Other than the Promissory Note, the Private Placement Agreement, the Management Services Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement mentioned above, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Person, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 and between such persons and any persons with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the Shares of Trust Stock, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving of withholding of proxies.

Page 12 of 94


 

      Note to, but excluding, the first Quarterly Distribution Date; and (ii) thereafter, the period from, and including, the Quarterly Distribution Date immediately following the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period to, but excluding, the next succeeding Quarterly Distribution Date.

  3.   All payments made pursuant to this Note shall be made by wire transfer to Lender’s office. All payments shall be made in immediately available funds of such transferable coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

B.   Extension of Term. The Borrower may at its sole option change the Maturity Date from June 15, 2010 to December 15, 2010 by giving a written notice to that effect to the Lender not later than May 15, 2010.

C.   Prepayment. The Borrower may prepay any or all amounts due under this Note at any time, and from time to time, without penalty or premium.

D.   Covenants. The Borrower covenants and agrees that so long as this Note is in effect and until the Loan has been paid in full, it will not suffer or permit to occur or exist any of the following events or conditions, without the prior written approval of the Lender:

  2.   Limitation on Liens.

  5.   Transactions with Affiliates. The Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, enter into any transaction with an affiliate on terms less favorable to the Borrower than would be the case if such transaction had been effected at arm’s length with a person other than an affiliate.

Page 13 of 94


 

  6.   Amendments to Organizational Documents. The Borrower shall not materially amend its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or any other organizational document.

E.   Events of Default.

  1.   Events of Default. The following conditions or events shall constitute “Events of Default” hereunder (and any condition which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default shall be deemed a “Default” hereunder):

  (a)   the failure to pay, within five days after the date when due, any payment of principal or interest on this Note or any other payment due hereunder;

  (b)   a default by the Borrower in the observance or performance of any of the covenants and agreements contained in this Note;

  (c)   the entry by a court having jurisdiction of a decree or order for relief in an involuntary case in respect of the Borrower under the Federal bankruptcy laws, as now constituted or hereafter amended, or any other applicable Federal or state insolvency or other similar law, for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) for the Borrower, or for any substantial part of any of its property, or for the winding-up or liquidation of any of the Borrower’s affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days;

  (d)   the commencement by the Borrower of a voluntary case seeking reorganization of the Borrower or an arrangement with the Borrower’s creditors, or to take advantage of insolvency, under the Federal bankruptcy laws, as now constituted or hereafter amended, or any other applicable Federal or state insolvency or other similar law, or the consent by the Borrower to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) for the Borrower or for any substantial part of its property, or the malting by the Borrower of any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the failure of the Borrower to pay its debts as such debts become due, or the taking by the Borrower of any action to authorize or effect any of the foregoing; and

  (e)   the occurrence of any material adverse change in the financial condition or operations of the Borrower.

  2.   Remedies.

Page 14 of 94


 

      and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by law. The rights provided for in this Note are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights, powers, privileges or remedies provided by law or in equity or under any other instrument, document or agreement now existing or hereafter arising.

F.   General

  I.   All payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder shall be reduced by all applicable withholding taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of the United States or any authority in the United States having the power to tax.

  3.   This Note may be changed, modified or terminated only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of such change, modification or termination is sought.

  4.   Borrower hereby waives presentment for payment, demand, notice of demand, notice of nonpayment or dishonor, protest and notice of protest of this Note, and all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of the payment of this Note, and agrees that Borrower’s liability shall not be affected in any manner by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification granted or consented to by Lender.

  5.   Lender shall not be deemed, by any act of omission or commission, to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Lender, and then only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. A waiver of one event shall not be construed as continuing, or as a bar to, or waiver of, any right or remedy with respect to a subsequent or other event.

  6.   Any notice, demand, request or other communication which Borrower or Lender shall desire to give the other hereunder shall be deemed sufficient if in writing and mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid, or sent by overnight courier or sent by facsimile transmission with a copy also sent by overnight courier, addressed as follows:

               SECTION 5.02. Opinion Delivery. In connection with the transfer of any Restricted Securities (other than a transfer described in Section 5.01(i) or (ii) above), the holder thereof shall deliver written notice to the Company describing in reasonable detail the transfer or proposed transfer, together with an opinion of Shearman & Sterling LLP or other counsel that, to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction, is knowledgeable in securities law matters to the effect that such transfer of Restricted Securities may be effected without registration of such Restricted Securities under the 1933 Act. In addition, if the holder of the Restricted Securities delivers to the Company an opinion of Shearman & Sterling LLP or other counsel that no subsequent transfer of such Restricted Securities shall require registration under the 1933 Act, the Company, as Sponsor of the Trust, shall cause the Trust to, promptly upon such contemplated transfer, deliver new certificates for such Restricted Securities that do not bear the 1933 Act legend set forth below in Section 5.03.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, transfers to or among affiliates of MIMUSA shall not require delivery of the opinion required in this Section 5.02.

               SECTION 5.03. Legend. Each certificate or instrument representing Restricted Securities shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SHARES OF TRUST STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH LAWS. THE SHARES OF TRUST STOCK HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, BY ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR BY ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL.”

               SECTION 5.04. Legend Removal. If any Restricted Securities become eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k), the Company, as Sponsor of the Trust, shall direct the Trust, upon the request of the holder of such Restricted Securities, to remove the legend set forth in Section 5.03 from the certificates for such Restricted Securities.

               SECTION 5.05. Definition of Restricted Securities.

ARTICLE XI

INDEMNITY

          Section 11.1 Indemnification of Manager. The Company and each Managed Subsidiary, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify the Manager, any controlling person of the Manager, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates and representatives (each, an “Indemnified Party”) and hold each of them harmless against any and all losses (including lost profits), claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, joint or several (collectively, “Liabilities”), to which the Indemnified Parties may become liable, directly or indirectly, arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, unless it is finally judicially determined that the Liabilities resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or reckless disregard of duty of any Indemnified Party or fraudulent or dishonest acts of such Indemnified Party. The Company and the Managed Subsidiaries further agree to reimburse each Indemnified Party immediately upon request for all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for, defense of, or providing evidence in any action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation, directly or indirectly, arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement or the Manager’s services hereunder, whether or not pending or threatened and whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party to such proceeding. The Company and the Managed Subsidiaries also agree that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company, the Managed Subsidiaries, or any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company or the Managed Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement or the Manager’s services thereunder, unless it is finally judicially determined that such Liability resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or reckless disregard of duty of such Indemnified Party or fraudulent or dishonest acts of such Indemnified

Page 60 of 94


 

Party. Moreover, in no event, regardless of the legal theory advanced, shall any Indemnified Party be liable to the Company, the Managed Subsidiaries, or any person asserting claims on behalf of or in the right of the Company or the Managed Subsidiaries for any consequential, indirect, incidental or special damages of any nature. In the event that an Indemnified Party is requested or required to appear as a witness in any action brought by or on behalf of or against the Company or the Managed Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of the Company or the Managed Subsidiaries in which such Indemnified Party is not named as a defendant, the Company and the Managed Subsidiaries agree to reimburse the Manager for all expenses incurred by it in connection with such Indemnified Party’s appearing and preparing to appear as such a witness, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of its legal counsel.

          The Company and the Managed Subsidiaries agree that, without the Manager’s prior written consent, they will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnification could be sought hereunder (whether or not the Manager or any other Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation), unless (a) such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any liabilities arising out of such claim action, suit, proceeding or investigation and (b) the parties agree that the terms of such settlement shall remain confidential.

          Section 11.2 Indemnification of Company. The Manager agrees to indemnify the Company and the Trust and hold each of them harmless against any Liabilities to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Managed Subsidiaries to the Manager, but only insofar as it is finally judicially determined that the Liabilities arose out of or were based on the gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or reckless disregard of duty of the Manager in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or its fraudulent or dishonest acts.

          Section 11.3 Indemnification. The rights of the Indemnified Parties referred to above shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party may otherwise have. The indemnities referred to in this Article XI survive the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XII

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF THE MANAGER

          Section 12.1 Limitation of Liability. The Manager shall not be liable for, and the Company and the Managed Subsidiaries will not take any action against the Manager to hold the Manager liable for, any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Company and the Managed Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, by reason of the purchase, sale or retention of any security) in connection with the performance of the Manager’s duties under this Agreement, except for a loss resulting from gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Manager in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or its fraudulent or dishonest acts.

Page 61 of 94


 

          Section 12.2 Manager May Rely. The Manager may take and may act upon:

          (a) the opinion or advice of legal counsel, which may be in-house counsel to the Company or the Manager, any U.S.-based law firm of recognized standing, or other legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Board of Directors of the Company, in relation to the interpretation of this Agreement or any other document (whether statutory or otherwise) or generally in connection with the Company;

          (b) advice, opinions, statements or information from bankers, accountants, auditors, valuation consultants and other persons consulted by the Manager who are in each case believed by the Manager in good faith to be expert in relation to the matters upon which they are consulted;

          (c) a document which the Manager believes in good faith to be the original or a copy of an appointment by a Member in respect of an LLC Interest or holder of a Trust Certificate in respect of a share of Trust Stock of a person to act as their agent for any purpose connected with the Company; and

          (d) any other document provided to the Manager in connection with the Company upon which it is reasonable for the Manager to rely;

and the Manager will not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted by it in good faith in reliance upon such opinion, advice, statement, information or document.

ARTICLE XIII

LEGAL ACTIONS

          Section 13.1 Third Party Claims. (a) The Manager will notify the Company promptly of any claim made by any third Party in relation to the assets of the Company and will send to the Company any notice, claim, summons or writ served on the Manager concerning the Company.

          (b) The Manager will not without the express written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company purport to accept any claims or liabilities of which it receives notification pursuant to Section 13.1(a) above on behalf of the Company or any Managed Subsidiaries or make any settlement or compromise with any third Party in respect of the Company.

REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT

          2.1 The Company agrees to file under the Securities Act, as soon as reasonably possible after the first anniversary of the closing of the Offering or, with respect to the offer and sale of the Formation Shares, the Additional Initial Investment or any Management Fee Investments, at such earlier time as the Manager reasonably requests, a Shelf Registration Statement (the “Initial Shelf Registration Statement”) providing for the registration, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis (including through brokers and dealers) by the Manager, of the Registrable Shares it owns on such filing date, pursuant to Rule 415 or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission. The Company agrees to use its best efforts to cause the Initial Shelf Registration Statement to become or be declared effective as soon as possible after the filing of the Initial Shelf Registration Statement and to keep the Initial Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective throughout the Effective Period subject to Section 4.2.

          So long as the Manager holds Registrable Shares or can be reasonably foreseen to acquire Registrable Shares pursuant to future Management Fee Investments that have not been previously registered pursuant hereto the Company agrees, upon request of the Manager, to use its best efforts to file one or more subsequent Shelf Registration Statements (each, a “Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement”) (which may include Registrable Securities covered by a prior Shelf Registration Statement) providing for the registration, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis (including through brokers and dealers) by the Manager, of all such Registrable Shares, pursuant to Rule 415 or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission;

Page 72 of 94


 

provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file more than four (4) such subsequent Shelf Registration Statements in any twelve-month period. The Company agrees to use its best efforts to cause each Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to become or be declared effective as soon as possible after the filing of the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement and to keep the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective throughout the Effective Period subject to Section 4.2.

          The Manager shall be named as a selling security holder in such Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus in such a manner as to permit the Manager to deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of Registrable Shares in accordance with applicable law.

          2.2 The Company further agrees that it shall cause each Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement or such amendment or supplement, (i) to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act; and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of the related Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. If any Shelf Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented from time to time, ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during an Effective Period (other than because all Registrable Shares registered thereunder shall have been sold pursuant thereto or shall have otherwise ceased to be Registrable Shares), the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness thereof.

          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at any time after the closing of the Offering, whenever the Company proposes to register, either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders, any shares of Trust Stock under the Securities Act and the form of registration statement (the “Company Registration Statement”) to be used, may be used for the registration of Registrable Shares (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice to the Manager of the Company’s intention to effect such a registration and shall include in the Company Registration Statement all Registrable Shares with respect to which the Manager has provided the Company with a written request for inclusion therein within twenty (20) calendar days after the receipt of the Company’s notice.

Page 73 of 94


 

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to notify the Manager or include Registrable Shares in any registration on (i) Form S-1, S-3 or S-8, or their successor forms, under the Securities Act relating solely to stock purchase or other equity plans, (ii) Form S-4 or successor forms relating solely to a transaction within the scope of Rule 145, or (iii) any other form (other than Form
S-1, S-2, S-3, SB-1 or SB-2, or their successor forms) that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a Shelf Registration Statement covering a registration pursuant to Section 2 above.

          (c) The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any Company Registration Statement initiated by it under this Section 3 prior to the effectiveness of such Company Registration Statement, whether or not the Manager has elected to include securities in such Company Registration Statement.

          3.2 Underwriting.

          If the Company Registration Statement with respect to which the Company gives notice is for a public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Manager as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 3.1(a). In such event, the right of the Manager to be named selling security holder in a Company Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 3 shall be conditioned upon the Manager’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of the Manager’s Registrable Shares in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. The Company and the Manager shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form, with the underwriters selected by the Company.

          3.3 Cutback.

          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3 to the contrary, if the representative of the underwriters determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the underwriters and the Company may limit the number of Registrable Shares to be included in the Company Registration Statement and underwriting. In the event of any such limitation of the number of shares of Trust Stock to be underwritten, the Company shall so advise the Manager, and the number of shares included in such Company Registration Statement and underwriting shall be allocated first to the Company for securities being sold for its own account and thereafter to the Manager. If the Manager disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, it may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter, and such Registrable Shares shall be withdrawn from such Company Registration Statement.

SECTION 4

Page 75 of 94


 

Prospectus or a Form 8-K or other appropriate Exchange Act report that is incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement, which, in either case, contains the requisite information with respect to such Material Event that results in such Registration Statement no longer containing any untrue statement of material fact or omitting to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading), (F) of the determination by the Company that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement will be filed with the Commission, which notice may, at the discretion of the Company (or as required pursuant to Section 4.2), state that it constitutes a Deferral Notice, in which event the provisions of Section 4.2 shall apply or (G) at any time during which a Prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, that a Registration Statement, Prospectus, Prospectus amendment or supplement or post-effective amendment does not conform in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder;

     (vi) prior to any public offering of the Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement, use its best efforts to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effective Period in connection with the Manager’s offer and sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of such Registrable Shares in the manner set forth in the Registration Statement and the related Prospectus; provided that the Company will not be required to (A) qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Agreement, (B) take any action that would subject it to general service of process in suits or to taxation in any such jurisdiction in which it is not then so subject, or (C) become subject to the reporting requirements of such jurisdiction;

     (vii) use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of and, if issued, to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment thereto, and to lift any suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction in which they have been qualified for sale, in each case at the earliest practicable date;

     (viii) upon reasonable notice, for a reasonable period prior to the filing of a Registration Statement, and throughout the applicable Effective Period, make available at reasonable times at the Company’s principal place of business or such other reasonable place for inspection by a representative of any underwriter, placement agent or counsel

Page 76 of 94


 

appointed by the Manager in connection with an underwritten offering, such financial and other information and books and records of the Company, and cause the officers, directors, trustees and independent certified public accountants of the Company to respond to such inquiries, as shall be reasonably necessary, in the judgment of the counsel to the Manager, to conduct a reasonable “due diligence” investigation; provided, however, that each such representative appointed by the Manager in connection with an underwritten offering shall be required to maintain in confidence and not to disclose to any other person any information or records reasonably designated by the Company in writing as being confidential, subject to customary exceptions;

     (ix) if reasonably requested by the Manager, promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement such information as the Manager shall, on the basis of a written opinion of nationally recognized counsel experienced in such matters, determine to be required to be included therein by applicable law and make any required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment; provided that the Company shall not be required to take any actions under this Section 4.1(viii) that are not, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Company, in compliance with applicable law;

     (x) promptly furnish to the Manager, upon its request and without charge, at least one (1) conformed copy of each Registration Statement and any amendments thereto, including financial statements but excluding schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits (unless requested in writing to the Company by the Manager); and

     (xi) during each Effective Period, deliver to the Manager in connection with any sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus relating to such Registrable Shares (including each preliminary Prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as the Manager may reasonably request; and the Company hereby consents (except during such periods in which a Deferral Notice is outstanding and has not been revoked or during any period that is not a “trading window” as defined in the Company’s Insider Trading Policy) to the use of such Prospectus or each amendment or supplement thereto by the Manager in connection with any offering and sale of the Registrable Shares covered by such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in the manner set forth therein.

          4.2 Upon (i) the issuance by the Commission of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of proceedings with respect to a Registration Statement under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act or (ii) the occurrence of any event or the existence of any Material Event as a result of which a Registration Statement shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any Prospectus shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company will (A) in the case of clause (ii) above, subject to the third sentence of this provision, as promptly as practicable, prepare and

Page 77 of 94


 

file a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document that would be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement and Prospectus so that such Registration Statement does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and such Prospectus does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Shares being sold thereunder, and, in the case of a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement, use best efforts to cause it to be declared effective as promptly as practicable, and (B) in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, give notice to the Manager that the availability of a Registration Statement is suspended (a “Deferral Notice”). Upon receipt of any Deferral Notice, the Manager agrees not to sell any Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement until the Manager’s receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus provided for in clause (A) above, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the Prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such Prospectus. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed (x) in the case of clause (i) above, as promptly as practicable, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, as soon as, in the sole judgment of the Company, public disclosure of such Material Event would not be prejudicial to or contrary to the interests of the Company or, if necessary to avoid unreasonable burden or expense, as soon as practicable thereafter.

          4.3 The Manager agrees that, upon receipt of any Deferral Notice from the Company, the Manager shall forthwith discontinue (and cause any placement or sales agent or underwriters acting on their behalf to discontinue) the disposition of Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement applicable to such Registrable Shares until the Manager (i) shall have received copies of such amended or supplemented Prospectus and, if so directed by the Company, deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in the Manager’s possession of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Shares at the time of receipt of such notice or (ii) shall have received notice from the Company that the disposition of Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement may continue.

          4.4 The Company may require the Manager in connection with the Registrable Shares as to which any Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.1 or 3 is being effected to furnish to the Company such information regarding the Manager and the Manager’s intended method of distribution of such Registrable Shares as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing, but only to the extent that such information is required in order to comply with the Securities Act. The Manager agrees to notify the Company as promptly as practicable of any inaccuracy or change in information previously furnished by the Manager to the Company or of the occurrence of any event in either case as a result of which any Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement contains or would contain an untrue statement of a material fact regarding the Manager or the Manager’s intended method of disposition of such Registrable Shares or omits to state any material fact regarding the Manager or the Manager’s intended method of disposition of such Registrable Shares required to be stated therein or

Page 78 of 94


 

necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and promptly to furnish to the Company any additional information required to correct and update any previously furnished information or required so that such Prospectus shall not contain, with respect to the Manager or the disposition of such Registrable Shares, an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

          4.5 The Company shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and timely file such reports pursuant to the Exchange Act as are necessary in order to make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable an earnings statement for the purposes of, and to provide the benefits contemplated by, the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

          4.6 The Company shall provide CUSIP numbers for all Registrable Shares covered by a Registration Statement no later than the effective date of such Registration Statement.

          4.7 The Company and the Manager shall provide such information as is required for any filings required to be made with the NASD.

          4.8 From the period beginning with the termination of the Management Services Agreement and ending two years after the last Management Fee Investment, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 144) to, resell any of the Securities that have been reacquired by any of them except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

          4.9 The Company shall enter into such customary agreements and take all such other necessary and lawful actions in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate disposition of such Registrable Shares.

          4.10 Upon (i) the filing of the Initial Shelf Registration Statement and (ii) the effectiveness of the Initial Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall issue a press release to announce the same.

SECTION 5
MANAGER’S OBLIGATIONS

          The Manager agrees, by acquisition of the Registrable Shares, that it shall not be entitled to sell any of such Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement or to receive a Prospectus relating thereto, unless it has furnished the Company with a Notice and Questionnaire as required pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof (including the information required to be included in such Notice and Questionnaire) and the information set forth in the next sentence. The Manager agrees promptly to furnish to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished by it to the Company not misleading and any other information regarding the Manager and the distribution of the Registrable Shares that may be required to be disclosed in a Registration Statement under applicable law or pursuant to

Page 79 of 94


 

Commission comments. The Manager agrees, so long as the Management Services Agreement is in effect, to comply with the Company’s Insider Trading Policy. The Manager further agrees not to sell any Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement without delivering, or causing to be delivered, a Prospectus to the purchaser thereof and, within ten (10) Business Days of a request by the Company confirm the amount of Registrable Shares sold pursuant to any Registration Statement. In the absence of a response, the Company may assume that all of the Manager’s Registrable Shares were so sold.

SECTION 6
REGISTRATION EXPENSES

          The Company agrees to bear and to pay or cause to be paid promptly upon request being made therefor all expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including (i) all Commission and any NASD registration and filing fees and expenses, (ii) all fees and expenses in connection with the qualification of the Registrable Shares for offering and sale under the state securities and blue sky laws referred to in Section 4.1(v) hereof, including reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the placement agent or underwriters, if any, in connection with such qualifications, (iii) all expenses relating to the preparation, printing, distribution and reproduction of a Registration Statement, the related Prospectus, each amendment or supplement to each of the foregoing, the certificates representing the Registrable Shares and all other documents relating hereto, (iv) fees and expenses of the registrar and transfer agent for the Trust Stock, (v) fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel and independent certified public accountants of the Company (including the expenses of any opinions or “cold comfort” letters required by or incident to such performance and compliance) and (vi) reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of one counsel for the Manager retained in connection with any underwritten offering of the Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement, as selected by the Manager and reasonably acceptable to the Company (including the expenses of any opinion), and fees, expenses and disbursements of any other persons, including special experts, retained by the Company in connection with such registration (collectively, the “Registration Expenses”). To the extent that any Registration Expenses are incurred, assumed or paid by the Manager or any placement agent therefor or underwriter thereof, the Company shall promptly after receipt of a documented request therefor reimburse such person for the full amount of the Registration Expenses so incurred, assumed or paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager shall pay all placement agent fees and commissions and underwriting discounts and commissions attributable to the sale of the Registrable Shares being registered and the fees and disbursements of any counsel or other advisors or experts retained by the Manager, other than the counsel and experts specifically referred to above.

SECTION 7
INDEMNIFICATION

          7.1 Indemnification by the Company.

          The Company will indemnify the Manager, each of its officers, directors and partners, each person controlling the Manager within the meaning of either the Securities Act of

Page 80 of 94


 

the Exchange Act, each underwriter of public offerings effected pursuant to this Agreement, if any, and each person who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act and the Exchange Act against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and liabilities (or actions, proceedings or settlements with respect thereto) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any Registration Statement, or amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading (in the case of any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made), or any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law applicable to the Company or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any such state law and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such Registration Statement as originally filed or any amendment thereof, preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus. The Company will reimburse the Manager, each of its officers, directors and partners, and each person controlling the Manager, each such underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter for any reasonable legal and any other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided further that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage or liability arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by the Manager or underwriter specifically for use therein. The foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of the Manager or underwriter, or any person controlling the Manager, or underwriter, from whom the persons asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased shares in the offering, if a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of the Manager or underwriter to such person at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the shares to such person, and if the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability.

          7.2 Indemnification by the Manager.

          The Manager will, as to each registration in which the Manager participates, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter and each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and the Manager, each of its officers, directors and partners and each person controlling the Manager, against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and liabilities (or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any preliminary

Page 81 of 94


 

Prospectus or the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made), and will reimburse the Company, and each of its directors, officers, partners, underwriters and controlling persons for any reasonable legal and any other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in any such Registration Statement as originally filed or any amendment thereof, preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Manager specifically for use therein; provided, however, that (i) the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Manager (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (ii) that the total amount for which the Manager shall be liable under this Section 7.2. shall not in any event exceed the aggregate net proceeds received by the Manager from the sale of Registrable Shares held by the Manager in such registration.

          7.3 Indemnification Procedures.

          Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 7 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party proposed to conduct the defense of such claim or litigation shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s election and expense; provided further, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, unless such failure resulted in prejudice to the Indemnifying Party; and provided further, that an Indemnified Party (together with all other Indemnified Parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Indemnifying Party, if representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by counsel for the Indemnifying Party in such proceeding. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to all Indemnified Parties of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

          7.4 Survival; Contribution.

          (a) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any officer, director or controlling person of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of securities. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any losses,

Page 82 of 94


 

claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand, and of the Indemnified Party, on the other, in connection with the circumstances that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7 to the contrary, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions of the underwriting agreement shall control.

SECTION 8
PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS

          8.1 No person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless the person (i) agrees to accept the terms of the underwriting agreement as agreed upon by the Company and the underwriters selected in accordance with this Agreement, and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

SECTION 9
REPORTS UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS

          9.1 With a view to making available to the Manager the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit the Manager to sell shares of Trust Stock to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

     (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times subsequent to ninety (90) days after the effective date of any registration statement covering an underwritten public offering filed under the Securities Act by the Company;

     (b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at any time after it is subject to the reporting requirements thereof; and

Page 83 of 94


 

(90) days after the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company), and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as may be reasonably requested by the Manager in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission permitting the selling of any of the securities without registration.

SECTION 10
TRANSFER OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS

          Provided that the Company is given written notice by the Manager at the time of any transfer of Registrable Shares by the Manager stating the name and address of the transferee of such Registrable Shares and identifying the securities with respect to which the rights under this Agreement are being assigned, the rights of the Manager under Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement may be assigned to a transferee or assignee who (i) receives the number of shares equal to the number of shares acquired by the Manager in the Additional Initial Investment (as adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations and the like that occur after the date of this Agreement) or (ii) is a subsidiary, affiliate, parent, general partner, limited partner or retired partner of the Manager, so long as such transfer of securities is in accordance with the LLC Agreement and any other agreements with the Company regarding transfer of Registrable Shares and all applicable state and federal securities laws and regulations, and provided further that the transferee or assignee of such rights assumes in writing the obligations of the Manager under this Agreement. The Company may prohibit the transfer of the Manager’s rights under this Section to any proposed transferee or assignee who the Company reasonably believes is a competitor of the Company.

SECTION 11
INFORMATION FURNISHED BY THE MANAGER

          The Manager shall furnish to the Company such information regarding the Manager and the distribution proposed by the Manager as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement.

MACQUARIE INFRASTRUCTURE COMPANY TRUST

     Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc. (the “Manager”), beneficial holder of  • shares of beneficial interest (the “Registrable Shares”) of Macquarie Infrastructure Company Trust (the “Trust”), understands that Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC (the “LLC”, and together with the Trust, the “Company”) and the Trust have filed or intend to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) for the registration and resale under Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Registrable Shares in accordance with the terms of the Trust Stock Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) to be dated as of  •, 2004 between the Company and the Manager. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Registration Rights Agreement.

     The Manager, as a beneficial owner of Registrable Shares, is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement. In order to sell or otherwise dispose of any Registrable Shares pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, the Manager generally will be required to be named as a selling security holder in the related Prospectus and to deliver a Prospectus to purchasers of Registrable Shares. If the Manager does not complete this Notice and Questionnaire and deliver it to the Company as provided below, the Manager will not be named as a selling security holder in the Prospectus and therefore will not be permitted to sell any Registrable Shares pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement. Upon receipt of a completed Notice and Questionnaire from the Manager following the effectiveness of any Shelf Registration Statement, the Company will, as promptly as practicable but in any event within five Business Days of such receipt, file such amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement or supplements to the related Prospectus as are necessary to permit the Manager to deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of Registrable Shares.

     Certain legal consequences arise from being named as a selling security holder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus. Accordingly, the Manager, as a holder and beneficial owner of Registrable Shares, is advised to consult its own securities law counsel regarding the consequences of being named or not being named as a selling security holder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus.

NOTICE

     The Manager hereby gives notice to the Company of its intention to sell or otherwise dispose of Registrable Shares beneficially owned by it and listed below in Item 3 (unless otherwise specified under Item 3) pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement. The Manager, by signing and returning this Notice and Questionnaire, understands that it will be bound by the terms and conditions of this Notice and Questionnaire and the Registration Rights Agreement.

     Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Manager has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Company’s directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), from and against certain losses arising in connection with statements concerning the undersigned made in a Shelf Registration Statement or the related Prospectus in reliance upon the information provided in this Notice and Questionnaire.
