(b) The registered Owner of any Trust Certificate may transfer all or any portion of the beneficial interest in the Trust evidenced by such Trust Certificate upon surrender thereof to the Owner Trustee accompanied by the documents required by Section 3.04 and Section 3.06 hereof. Such transfer may be made by the registered Owner in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing upon surrender of the Trust Certificate to the Owner Trustee accompanied by a written instrument of transfer and with such signature guarantees and evidence of authority of the Persons signing the instrument of transfer as the Owner Trustee may reasonably require. Promptly upon the receipt of such documents and receipt by the Owner Trustee of the transferor’s Trust Certificate, the Owner Trustee shall record the name of such transferee as an Owner and its Ownership Percentage in the Trust Certificate register and issue, execute and deliver to such Owner a Trust Certificate evidencing such Ownership Percentage. In the event a transferor transfers only a portion of its beneficial interest in the Trust, the Owner Trustee shall register and issue, to such transferor a new Trust Certificate evidencing such transferor’s new Ownership Percentage. Subsequent to a transfer and upon the issuance of the new Trust Certificate or Trust Certificates, the Owner Trustee shall cancel and destroy the Trust Certificate surrendered to it in connection with such transfer.

Wilmington Trust Company shall be the initial Certificate Registrar. The Certificate Registrar shall provide the Trust Collateral Agent and the Trustee with the name and address of the Certificateholder (if other than the Depositor) on the Closing Date. Upon any transfers of the Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Trust Collateral Agent and the Trustee of the name and address of the transferee in writing, by facsimile, on the day of such transfer. The Trust Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall be entitled to fully rely on the most recently provided Certificateholder information with no liability therefor. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of the Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.7, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee, a new Certificate dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent. A Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Certificate Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Certificate Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act. Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Owner Trustee in accordance with its customary practice. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Certificate, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of the Certificate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no sale or transfer of a Certificate shall be permitted (including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation), and no such sale or transfer shall be registered by the Certificate Registrar to be effective hereunder, if the sale or transfer thereof increases the number of Certificateholders to more than ninety-nine (99). For purposes of determining the total number of Certificateholders, a beneficial owner of an interest in a partnership, grantor trust, S corporation or other flow-through entity that owns, directly or through other flow-through entities, a Certificate is treated as a holder of a Certificate if (i) substantially all of the value of the beneficial owner’s interest (directly or indirectly) in the flow-through entity is attributed to the flow-through entity’s interest in the Certificate and (ii) a principal purpose of the use of the flow-through entity to hold the Certificate is to satisfy the 99 holder limitation set out above.

In addition, any transfer agent shall provide to Fiscal Agent such information as the Fiscal Agent may reasonably require in connection with the delivery by such transfer agent of Securities in the definitive form in exchange for other Securities. (b) When book-entry interests in Securities are to be transferred from the account of a DTC participant holding a beneficial interest in a DTC Global Security to the account of a Euroclear or Clearstream accountholder wishing to purchase a beneficial interest in an International Global Security, on the settlement date, the custodian of the DTC Global Security, initially Union Bank, N.A., will instruct the Fiscal Agent to: • decrease the amount of Securities registered in the name of the nominee of DTC and evidenced by the relevant DTC Global Security; and • increase the amount of Securities registered in the name of the nominee of the common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, and evidenced by the International Global Security.
