All payments of Certificate Prepayment Fee Amounts with respect to the Class C1-R Certificates shall be made prorata based upon the ratio of the Outstanding Principal Amount of this Certificate to the Outstanding Principal Amount of Class C1-R Certificates of this Series, provided that if as a result of such proration, a portion of such payment would be less than $0.01, then such payment shall be reduce to the nearest whole cent.

The principal and interest on this Certificate are payable by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified in writing to the Trustee by the Person whose name appears as the Registered Holder of this Certificate on the Certificate Register received at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Record Date for the Payment Date (or if no such account is specified or if such wire fails, by check mailed by first-class mail to the Person whose name appears as the Registered Holder of this Certificate on the Certificate Register at the address of such Person as it appears on the Certificate Register), in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Funds represented by checks returned undelivered will be held for payment to the Person entitled thereto, subject to the terms of the Trust Agreement, at the office or agency in the United States of America designated as such by the Depositor for such purpose pursuant to the Trust Agreement. The Depositor has structured the Trust Agreement and the Certificates with the intention that the Trust be treated as a partnership, with the assets of the partnership including all of the assets of the Trust Estate and the partners of the partnership being all of the Certificateholders and the Depositor. The Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer and each Certificateholder, by acceptance of its Certificate (and any Person that is a beneficial owner of any interest in a Certificate, by virtue of such Person's acquisition of a beneficial interest therein), agree to report the transactions contemplated thereby in accordance with such stated intentions unless and until determined to the contrary by an applicable taxing authority.

The Class C1-R Certificates are payable only out of the Trust Estate and do not represent recourse obligations of the Depositor, Allegiance Capital, LLC or any of their respective affiliates or successors. The Trust Agreement pursuant to which this Class C1-R Certificate is issued also provides for the issuance of other Classes and Series of Certificates from time to time. Payments of interest on the Class C1-R Certificates are senior to such payments on other Classes having a lower credit rating from the Rating Agency and are subordinate to payments of interest on any Classes having a higher credit rating form the Rating Agency. Payments of principal in the Class C1-R Certificates are senior to payments of principal on other classes having a lower credit rating from the Rating Agency and are subordinate to such payments on any Class having a higher credit rating from the Rating Agency. Unless the Depositor exercises its Optional Termination rights, the Certificates are payable only at the time and in the manner provided in the Trust Agreement and are not redeemable or prepayable at the option of the Depositor before such time, except that the Depositor may cause the Trust to prepay on a dollar for dollar basis the principal, without penalty or premium, of any Outstanding Series of Revolving Certificates with the proceeds of the issuance or Funding of a Series of Term Certificates.

The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Holders of the Certificates under the Trust Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer without the consent of the Holders of the Certificates. The Certificates are issuable only in registered form without coupons in such authorized denominations as provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. This Class C1-R Certificate and the Trust Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.
