Voting Trust Certificates The Trustee shall issue to each of the Shareholders a Voting Trust Certificate for the number of shares represented by the certificates of Common Stock by such Shareholder transferred to the Trustee. Each such Voting Trust Certificate shall state that it is issued under the Agreement, and shall set forth the nature and proportional amount of the beneficial interest thereunder of the person to whom it is issued, and shall be assignable, subject to the provisions of the Shareholders' Agreement, in the manner of certificates of stock on books to be kept by the Trustee. The Trustee shall keep a list of the shares of the Trust transferred to them, and shall also keep a record of all Voting Trust Certificates issued or transferred on its books, which records shall contain the names of the Voting Trust Certificate holders and the number of shares of Common Stock represented by each such certificate. Such list and record shall be open at all reasonable times to the inspection upon the books of the Trustee by any Voting Trust Certificate holder.

Membership Certificates The Company may issue a certificate to the Member to evidence the Interest in the Company. The Member or any manager or officer of the Company authorized by the Member may execute such certificate on behalf of the Company.
The Trust Certificates The Trust Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples thereof; provided, however, that one Trust Certificate may be issued in such denomination as required to include any residual amount. The Trust Certificates shall be executed by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature (which signature may be a scanned electronic version) of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee and shall have deemed to have been validly issued when so executed and authenticated (as set forth in Section 3.03 below). Trust Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures (which signature may be a scanned electronic version) of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Owner Trustee, shall be validly issued and binding obligations of the Issuer and entitled to the benefit of this Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Trust Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Trust Certificates. A transferee of a Trust Certificate shall become a Certificateholder and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder upon such transferee’s acceptance of a Trust Certificate duly registered in such transferee’s name pursuant to Section 3.04.
Transfer of Purchased Certificates (a) The Purchaser understands that the Purchased Certificates have not been registered under the Act, or any state securities laws and that no transfer may be made unless the Purchased Certificates are registered under the Act and under applicable state law or unless an exemption from registration is available. The Purchaser further understands that neither Washington Mutual nor the Trust is under any obligation to register the Purchased Certificates or make an exemption available. In the event that such a transfer is to be made within two years from the Closing Date without registration under the Act or applicable state securities laws, (i) the Trustee shall require, in order to assure compliance with such laws, that the Certificateholder's prospective transferee each certify to Washington Mutual, the Trustee and the Trust as to the factual basis for the registration or qualification exemption relied upon, and (ii) the Trustee or Washington Mutual may require an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Act and state securities laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Trustee or Washington Mutual. Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trust, the Trustee and Washington Mutual against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
Transfer of the Certificates (a) A Certificateholder may assign, convey or otherwise transfer all or any of its right, title and interest in the related Certificate, subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 3.5 and this Section 3.7. By accepting and holding a Certificate (or any interest therein), the holder thereof (and, if the holder is a Plan, its fiduciary) shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not acquiring the Certificates (or any interest therein) on behalf of or with any assets of, a Benefit Plan or Plan that is subject to Similar Law. Subject to the transfer restrictions contained herein and in the Certificate, each Certificateholder may transfer all or any portion of the Percentage Interest evidenced by such Certificate upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar of the documents required by Section 3.5 and this Section 3.7 and, in the case of a Definitive Certificate, surrender of such Definitive Certificate to the Certificate Registrar. Such transfer may be made by a registered Certificateholder in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing upon (i) in the case of a Definitive Certificate, surrender of such Certificate to the Certificate Registrar accompanied by (x) a written instrument of transfer in the form of the “Assignment” attached to the Form of Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A and with such signature guarantees and evidence of authority of the Persons signing the instrument of transfer as the Certificate Registrar may reasonably require and (y) an executed direction letter regarding registration of such transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, and (ii) delivery of the documents required by clause (c) hereof and such other documentation as may be required by the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee to comply with Applicable Law (as defined in Section 7.8). No transfer will be effectuated hereunder by the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee unless each of the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee has received the transfer documentation required by it hereunder. Promptly upon the receipt of such documents and, in the case of a Definitive Certificate, receipt by the Certificate Registrar of the transferor’s Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall record the name of such transferee as a Certificateholder and its Percentage Interest in the Certificate Register and, in the case of a Definitive Certificate, the Owner Trustee shall execute, and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, to such Certificateholder a Certificate evidencing such Percentage Interest. As a condition precedent to any registration of transfer under this Section 3.7, the Certificate Registrar 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. In the event a transferor transfers only a portion of its Percentage Interest, the Owner Trustee shall execute, and the Certificate Registrar shall register, authenticate and deliver to such transferor, a new Certificate evidencing such transferor’s new Percentage Interest. Subsequent to a transfer and upon the issuance of a new Definitive Certificate or Definitive Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall cancel and destroy the Definitive Certificate surrendered to it in connection with such transfer. Unless otherwise provided under applicable law, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the sole owner of the beneficial interest in the Issuer evidenced by such Certificate, without regard to any notice to the contrary.
Repayment of Trust Certificates In the event of an optional purchase pursuant to Section 8.01(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Certificates will be prepaid in whole, but not in part, at an aggregate prepayment price equal to the aggregate Certificate Balance of all the Trust Certificates plus accrued interest thereon at the Certificate Rate.
