The Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust has been executed on behalf of the Trust by Trustees of the Trust in their capacity as Trustees of the Trust and not individually. The obligations of this Agreement shall be binding upon the assets and property of the Trust and shall not be binding upon any Trustee, officer, or shareholder of the Trust individually.
Amendment of Trust Agreement The Trust Agreement may be amended or supplemented from time to time by the Depositor and the Trustee without the consent of any of the Certificateholders to (a) cure any ambiguity, (b) correct or supplement any provisions herein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions herein, (c) modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or appropriate to maintain the qualification of the Trust (or any assets thereof) either as a REMIC, as applicable under the Code at all times that any Certificates are outstanding or (d) make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Trust Agreement or matters arising with respect to the Trust which are not covered by the Trust Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of the Trust Agreement, provided that such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder. Any such amendment or supplement shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect any Certificateholder if there is delivered to the Trustee written notification from each Rating Agency that rated the applicable Certificates to the effect that such amendment or supplement will not cause that Rating Agency to reduce the then current rating assigned to such Certificates, as well as an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment or supplement will not result in the loss by the Trust or the assets thereof of REMIC status. The Trust Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Trust Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (A) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (B) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates, or (C) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, unless each Holder of a Certificate affected by such amendment consents. For purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 11.01, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or an Affiliate shall be entitled to Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such Certificates. Prior to consenting to any amendment, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel from the Depositor stating that the proposed amendment is authorized and permitted pursuant to this Trust Agreement. Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee shall notify Certificateholders of such amendment and, upon written request, furnish a copy of such amendment to any Certificateholder. It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
