The Trustee shall treat the beneficial owners of the Certificates (other than the Class P Certificates, the Class C Certificates and the Residual Certificates) as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the beneficial owners of the Class C Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all beneficial owners of the Certificates (other than the Class P Certificates, the Class C Certificates and the Residual Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the beneficial owners of the Class C Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the interest in REMIC 3 corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class C Shortfall”). A Class C Shortfall payable from interest collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Certificates based on the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Certificates, and a Class C Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding Certificate Principal Balance to the extent of such balance.

Any payments on the Certificates in light of the foregoing shall not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment from the Certificates of a Class C Shortfall shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the beneficial owners of such Certificates in respect of their interests in the REMIC 3 and as having been paid by such beneficial owners to the Supplemental Interest Account pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each Certificate (other than the Class P Certificates, the Class C Certificates and the Residual Certificates) shall be treated as representing ownership of not only regular interests in REMIC 3, but also ownership of an interest in (and obligations with respect to) a notional principal contract. For purposes of determining the issue price of the regular interests in REMIC 3, the Trustee shall assume that the notional principal contract has a value of $10,000 as of the Closing Date in favor of the Certificates (other than the Class C Certificates, the Class P Certificates and the Residual Certificates) and shall allocate such value proportionately to each such Class of Certificates based on such Class’s initial Certificate Principal Balance.
