of clause (C), may be required to deliver an opinion of counsel if the Issuer and
the Transfer Agent and Registrar so request, in each case, reasonably satisfactory in form
and substance to the Issuer and the Transfer Agent and Registrar, that an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act applies to such offer, sale, transfer or
hypothecation; and it understands that the Registrar and Transfer Agent will not be required
to accept for registration of transfer the Notes acquired by it, except upon presentation
of, if applicable, the certificate and, if applicable, the opinion described above;

non-electing church plan (as described above), any substantially similar applicable law) by
reason of the application of one or more statutory or administrative exemptions from such
prohibited transaction rules or otherwise.
In addition, such transferee shall be responsible for providing additional information
or certification, as shall be reasonably requested by the Trustee or Issuer, to support the
truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgements, representations and agreements, it
being understood that such additional information is not intended to create additional

sufficient to make (on the related Settlement Date) payment on such Settlement Date of the Monthly
Interest then due or to make (on the Legal Final Settlement Date) payment on such Settlement Date
of the full outstanding principal balance of the Notes (the amount of such aggregate deficiency
being a “Permitted Settlement Date Withdrawal”), then the Trustee shall draw on the Spread
Maintenance Account and deposit into the Series 2006-A Settlement Account an amount equal to the
lesser of (x) the Permitted Settlement Date Withdrawal and (y) the amount then on deposit in the
Spread Maintenance Account; provided that any withdrawal for purposes of paying principal
shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the then outstanding Note Principal and all
accrued and unpaid Monthly Interest with respect thereto and (y) the Series 2006-A pro rata share
of the amount then on deposit in the Spread Maintenance Account (calculated based on the
outstanding Note Balance as a percentage of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes of all
Series). Any such funds actually received by the Trustee shall be used solely to make payments of
the Monthly Interest or the Note Principal, as the case may be.
