REMIC The Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (B) either: (a) such Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including permanently affixed buildings and distinct structural components, such as wiring, plumbing systems and central heating and air-conditioning systems, that are integrated into such buildings, serve such buildings in their passive functions and do not produce or contribute to the production of income other than consideration for the use or occupancy of space, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Mortgage Loan was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date or (ii) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Mortgage Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Closing Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2). All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.
REMIC III On each Distribution Date, following the distributions with respect to the Principal Balance Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 6.5, any Collateral Support Deficits with respect to the Principal Balance Certificates on such Distribution Date will be allocated to the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Exchangeable Certificates) and the respective EX XXXXX III Regular Interests (and correspondingly, the applicable Exchangeable Certificates) as follows:
(i) first, to the Class H Certificates, the Class G Certificates, the Class F Certificates, the Class E Certificates and the Class D Certificates, in that order, in each case in reduction of the Aggregate Certificate Balance of the subject Class of Principal Balance Certificates until such Aggregate Certificate Balance is reduced to zero;
(ii) second, to the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class C Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class C Percentage Interest and the Class C-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest);

(v) fifth, to the Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-SB Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates and Class A-4 Certificates, on a pro rata basis in accordance with, and in reduction of, the respective Aggregate Certificate Balances of such Classes of Principal Balance Certificates until such Aggregate Certificate Balances are reduced to zero.
REMIC I (a) On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to distribute to itself on behalf of the Trustee, as holder of the REMIC I Regular Interests, for the following purposes and in the following order of priority:
(i) from the portion of the Available Distribution Amount attributable to interest (other than Excess Interest) collected or advanced or deemed collected or advanced on or with respect to, and any Excess Liquidation Proceeds attributable to, each Mortgage Loan (including each REO Mortgage Loan), to pay any and all Distributable Interest with respect to the Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest for such Distribution Date;
(ii) from the portion of the Available Distribution Amount attributable to principal collected or advanced or deemed collected or advanced on or with respect to each Mortgage Loan (including each REO Mortgage Loan), to pay such principal with respect to the Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest, until the REMIC I Principal Amount thereof is reduced to zero; and
(iii) from any remaining amount of the Available Distribution Amount (other than Excess Interest) and any remaining Excess Liquidation Proceeds with respect to each Mortgage Loan (including each REO Mortgage Loan), to reimburse, first, any unreimbursed Collateral Support Deficits previously allocated to the Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest, together with unpaid interest thereon at the related REMIC I Net Mortgage Rate (in each case from the date of allocation), and then, any unreimbursed Collateral Support Deficits allocated to any other REMIC I Regular Interest, together with unpaid interest thereon at the related REMIC I Net Mortgage Rate (in each case from the date of allocation).
(b) At such time as all Distributable Interest with respect to the REMIC I Regular Interests has been paid, the REMIC I Principal Amounts of all of the REMIC I Regular Interests have been reduced to zero, and all Collateral Support Deficits (including interest thereon) previously allocated thereto to the REMIC I Regular Interests have been reimbursed, the Certificate Administrator shall pay to the Holders of the Class R Certificates with respect to the REMIC I Residual Interest any amounts of the Available Distribution Amount (other than Excess Interest) remaining with respect to each Mortgage Loan or, to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein, the related REO Property.
(c) Any Prepayment Premium distributed with respect to any Class of REMIC III Regular Certificates or XX XXXXX III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, to the applicable Exchangeable Certificates) on any Distribution Date pursuant to Section 6.10, shall be deemed to have first been distributed from REMIC I to REMIC II in respect of the Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest for the Mortgage Loan (including an REO Mortgage Loan) as to which such Prepayment Premium was received.

(iii) to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest P, (A) on each Distribution Date, 100% of the amount paid in respect of Prepayment Charges and (B) on the Distribution Date immediately following the expiration of the latest Prepayment Charge as identified on the Prepayment Charge Schedule or any Distribution Date thereafter until $100 has been distributed pursuant to this clause;

(A) the related Uncertificated Accrued Interest for such Distribution Date, plus
(B) any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid from the previous Distribution Dates. Amounts payable as Uncertificated Accrued Interest in respect of REMIC 2 Regular Interest ZZ shall be reduced when the REMIC 2 Overcollateralized Amount is less than the REMIC 2 Overcollateralization Target Amount, by the lesser of (x) the amount of such difference and (y) the Maximum Uncertificated Accrued Interest Deferral Amount, and such amount will be payable to the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest A-1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest A-1M, REMIC 2 Regular Interest A-1W, REMIC 2 Regular Interest A-2A, REMIC 2 Regular Interest A-2B, REMIC 2 Regular Interest A-2C, REMIC 2 Regular Interest A-2D, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-2, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-3, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-4, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-5, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-6, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-7, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-8, REMIC 2 Regular Interest B in the same proportion as the Overcollateralization Deficiency Amount is allocated to the Corresponding Certificates and the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 2 Regular Interest ZZ shall be increased by such amount;

REMIC Election for REMIC I The Tax Matters Person, shall, on behalf of REMIC I, elect to treat REMIC I as a REMIC within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state laws. Such election shall be included in the Form 1066 and any appropriate state return to be filed on behalf of REMIC I for its first taxable year. The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “startup day” of REMIC I within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The regular interests (as set forth in the table contained in the Preliminary Statement hereto) relating to REMIC I are hereby designated as “regular interests” in REMIC I for purposes of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code. The Class R-1 Residual Interest is hereby designated as the sole class of “residual interest” in REMIC I for purposes of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code. The REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest shall together be deemed to be a separate series of beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust consisting of the REMIC I Assets pursuant to Section 3806(b)(2) of the Statutory Trust Statute. The parties intend that the affairs of REMIC I shall constitute, and that the affairs of REMIC I shall be conducted so as to qualify REMIC I as a REMIC. In furtherance of such intention, the Tax Matters Person shall, on behalf of REMIC I: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, a federal tax return using a calendar year as the taxable year and using an accrual method of accounting for REMIC I when and as required by the REMIC Provisions and other applicable federal income tax laws; (b) make an election, on behalf of the trust, for REMIC I to be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return of REMIC I for its first taxable year, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions; (c) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest and the Trustee, all information reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, and make available the information necessary for the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code; (d) conduct the affairs of REMIC I at all times that any REMIC I Regular Interests are outstanding so as to maintain the status of REMIC I as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (e) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of REMIC I; and (f) pay the amount of any federal prohibited transaction penalty taxes imposed on REMIC I when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Company or any other appropriate person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Company from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); provided, that the Company shall be entitled to be indemnified by REMIC I for any such prohibited transaction penalty taxes if the Company’s failure to exercise reasonable care was not the primary cause of the imposition of such prohibited transaction penalty taxes. The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the Company with such information in the possession of the Trustee or the Master Servicer, respectively, as the Company may from time to time request for the purpose of enabling the Company to prepare tax returns. In the event that a Mortgage Loan is discovered to have a defect which, had such defect been discovered before the startup day, would have prevented such Mortgage Loan from being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, and the Company does not repurchase such Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such date, the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall within 90 days of the date such defect is discovered sell such Mortgage Loan at such price as the Master Servicer in its sole discretion, determines to be the greatest price that will result in the purchase thereof within 90 days of such date, unless the Master Servicer delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that continuing to hold such Mortgage Loan will not adversely affect the status of the electing portion of REMIC I as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes.
Upper Tier REMIC REMIC 4.
Certificate Distribution Account The Certificate Distribution Account shall be established as a non-interest bearing trust account pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Funds on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account shall be held uninvested. The Certificateholders shall possess all beneficial right, title and interest in and to all funds on deposit from time to time in the Certificate Distribution Account and all proceeds thereof. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the Indenture or in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Distribution Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Certificate Paying Agent for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If, at any time, the Certificate Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer, shall, within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period) after becoming aware of the fact, establish a new Certificate Distribution Account as an Eligible Account and shall direct the Certificate Paying Agent to transfer any cash then on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account to such new Certificate Distribution Account.
REMIC Election (a) The Depositor hereby instructs and authorizes the Trustee to make an appropriate election to treat the Trust Fund as a REMIC. This Agreement shall be construed so as to carry out the intention of the parties that the Trust Fund be treated as a REMIC at all times prior to the date on which the Trust Fund is terminated. The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day" of the REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The "regular interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code) in the REMIC shall consist of the Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-R Certificate), the Class M Certificates and the Class B Certificates, and the "residual interest" (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code) in the REMIC shall consist of the Residual Interest, and all such interests shall be designated as such on the Startup Day. Solely for the purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury regulations, the "latest possible maturity date" by which the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates representing a regular interest in the REMIC would be reduced to zero is the Distribution Date immediately following the latest scheduled maturity of any Mortgage Loan.
(b) The "tax matters person" with respect to the Trust Fund for purposes of the REMIC provisions shall be the beneficial owner of the Class A-R Certificate; provided, however, that such Holder of a Class A-R Certificate, by its acceptance thereof, irrevocably appoints the Servicer as its agent and attorney-in-fact to act as "tax matters person" with respect to the Trust Fund for purposes of the REMIC provisions.
(c) It is intended that the Trust Fund shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Trust Fund shall be conducted so as to qualify the Trust Fund as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Servicer covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Servicer is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Holder of the Class A-R Certificate and that in such capacity it shall:
(i) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to the Trust Fund, using the calendar year as the taxable year and the accrual method of accounting, containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby;
(ii) within thirty days of the Closing Date, shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto (and the Servicer shall act as the representative of the Trust Fund for this purpose), together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and shall update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code;
(iii) make or cause to be made an election, on behalf of the Trust Fund, to be treated as a REMIC, and make the appropriate designations, if applicable, in accordance with this Section 2.04 on the federal tax return of the Trust Fund for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law);
(iv) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns or reports, or furnish or cause to be furnished by telephone, mail, publication or other appropriate method such information, as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount;
(v) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of the Class A-R Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, or a pass-through entity in which a Disqualified Organization is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax);
(vi) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other person as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; and
(vii) maintain such records relating to the Trust Fund, as may be required by the Code and, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information. [END OF ARTICLE II]
Certificated/Uncertificated ADSs Notwithstanding any other provision of the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary may, at any time and from time to time, issue ADSs that are not evidenced by ADRs (such ADSs, the “Uncertificated ADS(s)” and the ADS(s) evidenced by ADR(s), the “Certificated ADS(s)”). When issuing and maintaining Uncertificated ADS(s) under the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall at all times be subject to (i) the standards applicable to registrars and transfer agents maintaining direct registration systems for equity securities in New York and issuing uncertificated securities under New York law, and (ii) the terms of New York law applicable to uncertificated equity securities. Uncertificated ADSs shall not be represented by any instruments but shall be evidenced by registration in the books of the Depositary maintained for such purpose. Holders of Uncertificated ADSs, that are not subject to any registered pledges, liens, restrictions or adverse claims of which the Depositary has notice at such time, shall at all times have the right to exchange the Uncertificated ADS(s) for Certificated ADS(s) of the same type and class, subject in each case to (x) applicable laws and any rules and regulations the Depositary may have established in respect of the Uncertificated ADSs, and (y) the continued availability of Certificated ADSs in the U.S. Holders of Certificated ADSs shall, if the Depositary maintains a direct registration system for the ADSs, have the right to exchange the Certificated ADSs for Uncertificated ADSs upon (i) the due surrender of the Certificated ADS(s) to the Depositary for such purpose and (ii) the presentation of a written request to that effect to the Depositary, subject in each case to (a) all liens and restrictions noted on the ADR evidencing the Certificated ADS(s) and all adverse claims of which the Depositary then has notice, (b) the terms of the Deposit Agreement and the rules and regulations that the Depositary may establish for such purposes hereunder, (c) applicable law, and (d) payment of the Depositary fees and expenses applicable to such exchange of Certificated ADS(s) for Uncertificated ADS(s). Uncertificated ADSs shall in all material respects be identical to Certificated ADS(s) of the same type and class, except that (i) no ADR(s) shall be, or shall need to be, issued to evidence Uncertificated ADS(s), (ii) Uncertificated ADS(s) shall, subject to the terms of the Deposit Agreement, be transferable upon the same terms and conditions as uncertificated securities under New York law, (iii) the ownership of Uncertificated ADS(s) shall be recorded on the books of the Depositary maintained for such purpose and evidence of such ownership shall be reflected in periodic statements provided by the Depositary to the Holder(s) in accordance with applicable New York law, (iv) the Depositary may from time to time, upon notice to the Holders of Uncertificated ADSs affected thereby, establish rules and regulations, and amend or supplement existing rules and regulations, as may be deemed reasonably necessary to maintain Uncertificated ADS(s) on behalf of Holders, provided that (a) such rules and regulations do not conflict with the terms of the Deposit Agreement and applicable law, and (b) the terms of such rules and regulations are readily available to Holders upon request, (v) the Uncertificated ADS(s) shall not be entitled to any benefits under the Deposit Agreement or be valid or enforceable for any purpose against the Depositary or the Company unless such Uncertificated ADS(s) is/are registered on the books of the Depositary maintained for such purpose, (vi) the Depositary may, in connection with any deposit of Shares resulting in the issuance of Uncertificated ADSs and with any transfer, pledge, release and cancellation of Uncertificated ADSs, require the prior receipt of such documentation as the Depositary may deem reasonably appropriate, and (vii) upon termination of the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall not require Holders of Uncertificated ADSs to affirmatively instruct the Depositary before remitting proceeds from the sale of the Deposited Property represented by such Holders’ Uncertificated ADSs under the terms of Section 6.2. When issuing ADSs under the terms of the Deposit Agreement, including, without limitation, issuances pursuant to Sections 2.5, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.11, the Depositary may in its discretion determine to issue Uncertificated ADSs rather than Certificated ADSs, unless otherwise specifically instructed by the applicable Holder to issue Certificated ADSs. All provisions and conditions of the Deposit Agreement shall apply to Uncertificated ADSs to the same extent as to Certificated ADSs, except as contemplated by this Section 2.13. The Depositary is authorized and directed to take any and all actions and establish any and all procedures deemed reasonably necessary to give effect to the terms of this Section 2.13. Any references in the Deposit Agreement or any ADR(s) to the terms “American Depositary Share(s)” or “ADS(s)” shall, unless the context otherwise requires, include Certificated ADS(s) and Uncertificated ADS(s). Except as set forth in this Section 2.13 and except as required by applicable law, the Uncertificated ADSs shall be treated as ADSs issued and outstanding under the terms of the Deposit Agreement. In the event that, in determining the rights and obligations of parties hereto with respect to any Uncertificated ADSs, any conflict arises between (a) the terms of the Deposit Agreement (other than this Section 2.13) and (b) the terms of this Section 2.13, the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.13 shall be controlling and shall govern the rights and obligations of the parties to the Deposit Agreement pertaining to the Uncertificated ADSs.
