If any Transferee of a Certificate (including a Registered Certificate) or any interest therein does not, in connection with the subject Transfer, deliver to the Certificate Registrar (in the case of a Definitive Certificate) or the Transferor (in the case of ownership interests in a Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificate) any certification and/or Opinion of Counsel contemplated by the preceding paragraph, then such Transferee shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that either: (i) such Transferee is not a Plan and is not directly or indirectly purchasing such Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan; or (ii) the purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest therein by such Transferee are exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of Sections 406(a) and (b) and 407 of ERISA and the excise taxes imposed on such prohibited transactions by Sections 4975(a) and (b) of the Code by reason of the Exemption (in the case of such a Certificate that is an Investment Grade Certificate) or by reason of Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 (in the case of such a Certificate that is not an Investment Grade Certificate) or, in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law does not result in a violation of Similar Law. If a Person is acquiring this Certificate as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person shall be required to deliver to the Certificate Registrar (and, if applicable, to the Certificate Owner) a certification to the effect that, and such other evidence as may be reasonably required by the Certificate Registrar to confirm that, it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and (ii) full power to make the acknowledgments, representations, warranties, certifications and/or agreements with respect to each such account described above in this Certificate. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be imposed for any transfer or exchange of this Certificate, but the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of this Certificate. [FOR BOOK-ENTRY CERTIFICATES: Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Certificate is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Certificate shall be made through the book-entry facilities of DTC, and accordingly, this Certificate shall constitute a Book-Entry Certificate.] The Depositor, the General Master Servicer, the NCB Master Servicer, the General Special Servicer, the NCB Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Advisor, the Tax Administrator, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any such party may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of such parties or such agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Trust and the obligations created by the Agreement shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund; (ii) the purchase by the General Master Servicer, the NCB Master Servicer, the General Special Servicer, the NCB Special Servicer or any single Subordinate Class Certificateholder or group of Subordinate Class Certificateholders, at a price determined as provided in the Agreement, of all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the Trust Fund; and (iii) the exchange by the Sole Certificateholder(s) of all the Certificates for all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the Trust Fund with the written consent of the General Master Servicer or the NCB Master Servicer, as applicable, in its sole discretion. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the General Master Servicer, the NCB Master Servicer, the General Special Servicer, the NCB Special Servicer or any single Subordinate Class Certificateholder or group of Subordinate Class Certificateholders to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining therein. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool at the time of purchase being 1.0% or less of the Cut-off Date Pool Balance. The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the parties thereto and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the parties to the Agreement with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to all of the Classes materially affected by the amendment and, if adversely affected by the amendment, any third-party beneficiary. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to maintain the status of any REMIC Pool as a REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates. Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights therein) for distributions hereunder. This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements negotiated, made and to be performed entirely in said State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be determined in accordance with such laws.
