Date shall be the arithmetic mean of the quotations (rounded upward to the
nearest 0.015625%). If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the

on that day for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks for a

procedures described above, LIBOR shall be LIBOR as determined on the most
recent LIBOR Determination Date.

Certificate Rate and the Class D Certificate Rate applicable to the then current

together with, on or before January 31 of each year, beginning in 2000, such
other customary information (consistent with the treatment of the Certificates

obligations of the Trustee shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent
that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Trustee

aggregate amount of Principal Receivables (without deducting therefrom any
discount portion) for each of six or more consecutive Determination Dates,
after giving effect to all payments made or to be made on the Distribution
Date next succeeding each such respective Determination Date; or
(e) if Principal Collections allocable to the Class D
Certificateholders' Interest have been reallocated in any Monthly Period to
cover any Required
-44-
Amounts and have not been reimbursed as of the Determination Date in such
Monthly Period.

THIS CERTIFICATE IS DEEMED TO REPRESENT THAT IT IS A QIB PURCHASING FOR ITS
OWN ACCOUNT OR A QIB PURCHASING FOR THE ACCOUNT OF ANOTHER QIB.
THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE ACQUIRED, SOLD, TRADED OR TRANSFERRED, NOR

ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED,
SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS REGISTERED PURSUANT TO OR
EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY OTHER APPLICABLE

TRANSFERRING ANY INTEREST IN OR PORTION OF THIS CERTIFICATE UNLESS, PRIOR
TO SUCH TRANSFER, IT SHALL HAVE DELIVERED TO THE TRUSTEE AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH PROPOSED TRANSFER WILL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT
THE FEDERAL OR MINNESOTA INCOME TAX CHARACTERIZATION OF ANY OUTSTANDING
SERIES OF INVESTOR CERTIFICATES OR THE TAXABILITY (OR TAX CHARACTERIZATION)
OF THE TRUST UNDER FEDERAL OR MINNESOTA INCOME TAX LAWS. IN NO EVENT SHALL
THE TRANSFEROR BE PERMITTED TO TRANSFER ANY INTEREST IN OR PORTION OF THIS
CERTIFICATE IF, AFTER GIVING EFFECT TO SUCH PROPOSED TRANSFER, TAKING INTO
ACCOUNT THE CERTIFICATES WHOSE TRANSFER IS PROPOSED, MORE THAN 20% (BY
INVESTED AMOUNT AND BY VALUE) OF THE OUTSTANDING CERTIFICATES ISSUED BY THE
TRUST WITH RESPECT TO WHICH NO OPINION OF COUNSEL WAS ISSUED THAT THE
APPLICABLE CLASS WOULD BE TREATED AS DEBT FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES
(INCLUDING THE EXCHANGEABLE TRANSFEROR CERTIFICATE AND EACH TRANSFEROR
RETAINED CLASS) WOULD NOT BE BENEFICIALLY OWNED BY GREEN TREE FLOORPLAN
FUNDING CORP.
-47-
(d) Green Tree Floorplan Funding Corp. shall be prohibited from
transferring any interest in or portion of the Class D Certificates unless,
prior to such transfer, it shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such proposed transfer will not adversely affect the
Federal or Minnesota income tax characterization of any outstanding Series of
Investor Certificates or the taxability (or tax characterization) of the Trust
under Federal or Minnesota income tax laws. In no event shall the Transferor be
permitted to transfer any interest in or portion of the Class D Certificates if,
after giving effect to such proposed transfer, taking into account the
certificates whose transfer is proposed, more than 20% (by Invested Amount and
by value) of the outstanding certificates issued by the Trust with respect to
which no Opinion of Counsel was issued that the applicable class would be
treated as debt for federal income tax purposes (including the Exchangeable
Transferor Certificate and each Transferor Retained Class) would not be
beneficially owned by Green Tree Floorplan Funding Corp. In no event shall any
interest in or portion of the Class D Certificates be transferred to Green Tree.
As a condition to transfer of an interest in or portion of the Class D
Certificates, the transferee shall be required to agree not to institute
against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Trust, any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding,
or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for
one year and one day after all Investor Certificates are paid in full. The
Transferor shall provide prompt written notice to the Rating Agencies of any
such transfer.
(e) No transfer of a Class A Certificate, Class B Certificate or Class D
Certificate will be permitted to be made to a Benefit Plan unless such Benefit
Plan, at its expense, delivers to the Trustee, the Servicer and the Transferor
an opinion of counsel satisfactory to them to the effect that the purchase or
holding of a Class A Certificate, Class B Certificate or Class D Certificate by
such Benefit Plan will not result in the assets of the Trust being deemed to be
"assets of the Benefit Plan" and subject to the prohibited transaction
provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the
Transferor or the Servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in
the Agreement. Unless such opinion is delivered, each person acquiring a Class A
Certificate, Class B Certificate or Class D Certificate or the beneficial
ownership of a Class A Certificate, Class B Certificate or Class D Certificate
will be deemed to represent to the Trustee, the Transferor and the Servicer that
it is not (i) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA)
that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan described in
Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, or (iii) any entity whose underlying assets
include plan assets by reason of a plan's investment in the entity.
(f) The Transferor, the Trustee, the Servicer and each Certificateholder
each agrees that it will not make the election provided in Treasury Regulation
ss. 301.7701-3(c) to have the Trust classified as an association taxable as a
corporation.
SECTION 11. Additional Restrictions on Transfers of Class C Certificates;
Withholding Requirements; Tax Treatment.
(a) No Class C Certificate or any interest therein may be sold (including
in the initial offering), conveyed, assigned, hypothecated, pledged,
participated, or otherwise transferred (each, a "Transfer") except in accordance
with this Section 11. Any Transfer of a Class C Certificate otherwise permitted
by this Section 11 will be permitted only if it consists of a pro
-48-
rata percentage interest in all payments made with respect to such Holder's
Class C Certificate and no Transfers of partial interests in a Class C
Certificate shall be permitted. No Class C Certificate or any interest therein
may be Transferred to any Person (each, an "Assignee"), unless the Assignee
shall have executed and delivered the certification referred to in subsection
11(e) below and each of the Transferor and the Servicer shall have granted its
prior consent thereto. Such consent shall be granted (assuming that all other
conditions specified in this Section 11 to such Transfer are satisfied) unless
the Transferor determines in its sole and absolute discretion that such Transfer
would create a risk that the Trust would be classified for federal or any
applicable state tax purposes as an association or publicly traded partnership
taxable as a corporation; provided, that any attempted Transfer that would cause
the number of Targeted Holders to exceed ninety-nine shall be void; and
provided, further, that there shall not at any time be more than 5 Class C
Certificateholders or such other number as may be consented to by the
Transferor, which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion.
(b) Each initial purchaser of a Class C Certificate or any interest therein
and any Assignee thereof shall certify to the Transferor, the Servicer, and the
Trustee that it is either (A)(i) a citizen or resident of the U.S., (ii) a
corporation, partnership or other entity organized in or under the laws of the
U.S. or any political subdivision thereof which, if such entity is a tax-exempt
entity, recognizes that payments with respect to the Class C Certificates may
constitute unrelated business taxable income or (iii) a person not described in
(i) or (ii) whose ownership of the Class C Certificates is effectively connected
with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States within the
meaning of the Code) and whose ownership of any interest in a Class C
Certificate will not result in any withholding obligation with respect to any
payments with respect to the Class C Certificates by any person or (B) an estate
or trust the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. Each initial purchaser of a Class C Certificate also shall
agree that (A) if it is a person described in clause (A)(i) or (A)(ii) above, it
will furnish to the person from whom it is acquiring a Class C Certificate, the
Servicer and the Trustee, a properly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form
W-9 (and will agree to furnish a new Form W-9, or any successor applicable form,
upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form) or (b) if
it is a person described in clause (A)(iii) above, it will furnish to the person
from whom it is acquiring a Class C Certificate, the Servicer and the Trustee, a
properly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 (and will agree to
furnish a new Form 4224, or any successor applicable form, upon the expiration
or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in
accordance with applicable U.S. laws), and, in each case, such other
certifications, representations or opinions of counsel as may be requested by
the Transferor, the Servicer or the Trustee.
(c) Each initial purchaser of a Class C Certificate or any interest therein
and any Assignee thereof shall further certify to the Transferor, the Servicer
and the Trustee that it has neither acquired nor will it sell, trade or transfer
any interest in a Class C Certificate or cause an interest in a Class C
Certificate to be marketed on or through an "established securities market"
within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code and any treasury regulation
thereunder, including, without limitation, an over-the-counter-market or an
interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell
quotations. In addition, each initial purchaser of a Class C Certificate or any
interest therein and any Assignee shall certify, prior to any delivery or
Transfer
-49-
to it of a Class C Certificate that it is not and will not become (unless
otherwise consented to by the Transferor in its sole discretion), for so long as
it holds an interest in a Class C Certificate, a partnership, Subchapter S
corporation or grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If an initial
purchaser of an interest in a Class C Certificate or an Assignee cannot make the
certification described in the preceding sentence, the Transferor may, in its
sole discretion, prohibit a Transfer to such entity; provided, however, that if
the Transferor agrees to permit such a Transfer, the Transferor, the Servicer or
the Trustee may require additional certifications in order to prevent the Trust
from being treated as a publicly traded partnership. Each initial purchaser of
an interest in a Class C Certificate and Assignee acknowledges that the Opinion
of Counsel to the effect that the Trust will not be treated as a publicly traded
partnership taxable as a corporation is dependent in part on the accuracy of the
certifications described in this subsection 11(c).
(d) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of a Class C Certificate at
the office of the Transfer Agent and Registrar, accompanied by a letter of
representations and certification from the prospective Class C Certificateholder
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F and by a written instrument of
transfer in the form approved by the Transferor and the Trustee (it being
understood that, until notice to the contrary is given to Class C
Certificateholders, the Transferor and the Trustee shall each be deemed to have
approved the form of instrument of transfer, if any, printed on any definitive
Class C Certificate), executed by the registered owner, in person or by such
Class C Certificateholder's attorney thereunto duly authorized in writing, such
Class C Certificate shall be transferred upon the register, and the Transferor
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of
the designated transferee one or more new registered Class C Certificates of any
authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor.
Transfers and exchanges of Class C Certificates shall be subject to such
restrictions as shall be set forth in this Series 1999-1 Supplement and the text
of the Class C Certificates and such reasonable regulations as may be prescribed
by the Transferor. Successive registrations and registrations of transfers as
aforesaid may be made from time to time as desired, and each such registration
shall be noted on the register.
(e) No Class C Certificate or any interest therein may be Transferred
(including in the initial offering) to (a) an "employee benefit plan" (as
defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA), including governmental plans and church
plans, (b) any "plan" (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) including
individual retirement accounts and Xxxxx plans, or (c) any other entity whose
underlying assets include "plan assets" (within the meaning of Department of
Labor ("DOL") Regulation Section 2510.3-101, 29 C.F.R. ss. 2510.3-101 or
otherwise under ERISA) by reason of a plan's investment in the entity,
including, without limitation, an insurance company general account; provided,
however, that a Class C Certificate or an interest therein may be Transferred to
an insurance company acting on behalf of its general account if (i) on the date
such insurance company acquires the Class C Certificates, less than 25% of the
assets of such general account (as reasonably determined by such insurance
company) constitute "plan assets" for purposes of Title I of ERISA and Section
4975 of the Code, and (ii) such insurance company agrees that if, after the
initial acquisition of the Class C Certificates, at any time during any calendar
quarter 25% or more of the assets of such general account (as reasonably
determined by such insurance company no less frequently than each calendar
quarter) constitute "plan assets" for purposes of Title I of ERISA or Section
4975 of the Code and no exemption or exception
-50-
from the prohibited transaction rules applies to the continued holding of the
Class C Certificates under Section 401(c) of ERISA and the final regulations
thereunder or under an exemption or regulation issued by the DOL under ERISA,
then such insurance company will dispose of all of the Class C Certificates then
held in its general account by the end of the next following calendar quarter;
and provided, further, that the Assignee shall have executed and delivered the
certification referred to in subsection 11(d) above and each of the Transferor
and the Servicer shall have granted its prior written consent thereto.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, the Trustee and
any Paying Agent shall comply with all Federal withholding requirements with
respect to payments to the Class C Certificateholders of interest, original
issue discount, or other amounts that the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the
Servicer or the Transferor reasonably believes are applicable under the Code.
The consent of the Class C Certificateholders shall not be required for any such
withholding. In the event the Trustee or the Paying Agent withholds any amount
from payments made to any Class C Certificateholder pursuant to federal
withholding requirements, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall indicate to such
Class C Certificateholder the amount withheld and all such amounts shall be
deemed to have been paid to such Class C Certificateholders and the Class C
Certificateholders shall have no claim therefor.
(g) As described in Section 3.7 of the Agreement, it is the intention of
the parties hereto that the Class C Certificates be treated for tax purposes as
indebtedness. In the event that the Class C Certificates are not so treated, it
is the intention of the parties that the Class C Certificates to treated as an
interest in a partnership that owns the Receivables. In the event that the Class
C Certificates are treated as an interest in a partnership, it is the intention
of the parties that interest payable on the Class C Certificates be treated as
guaranteed payment and, if for any reason it is not so treated, that the holders
of the Class C Certificates be specially allocated gross interest income equal
to the interest accrued during each Interest Accrual Period on the Class C
Certificates.
SECTION 12. Ratification of Agreement.
(a) As supplemented by this Series Supplement, the Agreement is in all
respects ratified and confirmed and the Agreement as so supplemented by this
Series Supplement shall be read, taken, and construed as one and the same
instrument.
(b) For so long as any of the Class C Certificates are outstanding, each of
the Transferor, the Servicer and the Trustee agree to cooperate with each other
to provide to any Class C Certificateholders and to any prospective purchaser of
Class C Certificates designated by such a Class C Certificateholder upon the
request of such Class C Certificateholder or prospective purchaser, any
information required to be provided to such holder or prospective purchaser to
satisfy the condition set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.
SECTION 13. Counterparts. This Series Supplement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an
original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.
-51-
SECTION 14. GOVERNING LAW. THIS SERIES SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS
CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

GREEN TREE FLOORPLAN RECEIVABLES MASTER TRUST
FLOATING RATE FLOORPLAN RECEIVABLE TRUST CERTIFICATE,
SERIES 1999-1, CLASS D
Evidencing an undivided interest in a trust, the corpus of which consists
of receivables generated from time to time in the ordinary course of business
from the portfolio of revolving financing arrangements (the "Accounts") of Green
Tree Financial Corporation ("Green Tree" or the "Servicer") and other assets and
interests constituting the Trust under the Agreement described below.
This certificate (a "Certificate") does not represent an interest in, or an
obligation of, Green Tree Floorplan Funding Corp., Green Tree or any affiliate
of either of them.
This certifies that Green Tree Floorplan Funding Corp. (the
"Certificateholder") is the registered owner of a fractional undivided interest
in the Green Tree Floorplan Receivables Master Trust (the "Trust") created
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 1995
(the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"; such term to include any amendment
thereto) among Green Tree Floorplan Funding Corp., as Transferor (the
"Transferor"), Green Tree, as Servicer, and Norwest Bank Minnesota, National
Association, as Trustee (the "Trustee"), and the Series 1999-1 Supplement, dated
as of September 1, 1999 (the "Series 1999-1 Supplement"), among the Transferor,
Green Tree, as Servicer, and the Trustee. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
as supplemented by the Series 1999-1 Supplement, is herein referred to as the
"Agreement."
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference
is made to that Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights,
benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights,
duties and obligations of the Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, the
capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Agreement. This Certificate is one of a class of Certificates entitled "Green
Tree Floorplan Receivables Master Trust Floorplan Receivable Trust Certificates,
Series 1999-1, Class D" (the "Class D Certificates"), each of which represents a
fractional undivided interest in the Trust, and is issued under and is subject
to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement, as
amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance
hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.
Green Tree Floorplan Funding Corp. shall be prohibited from Transferring
any interest in or portion of the Class D Certificate unless, prior to such
Transfer, it shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that such proposed Transfer will not adversely affect the Federal or
Minnesota income tax characterization of any outstanding Series of Investor
Certificate or the taxability (or tax characterization) of the Trust under
Federal or Minnesota
D-2
income tax laws. In no event shall Green Tree Floorplan Funding Corp. be
permitted to Transfer any interest in or portion of the Class D Certificate if,
after giving effect to such proposed Transfer, taking into account the
certificates whose Transfer is proposed, more than 20% (by Invested Amount and
by value) of the outstanding certificates issued by the Trust with respect to
which no Opinion of Counsel was issued that the applicable class would be
treated as debt for federal income tax purposes (including the Exchangeable
Transferor Certificate and each Transferor Retained Class) would not be
beneficially owned by the Transferor.
Subject to the terms of the Agreement, no principal will be payable to the
Class D Certificateholders until the date on which an amount equal to the Class
C Invested Amount has been deposited in the Principal Account. No principal will
be payable to the Class D Certificateholders until all principal payments have
first been made to the Class A Certificateholders, the Class B
Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholders.
Each Class D Certificate represents the right to receive the lesser of (i)
interest at the rate of ____% per annum above LIBOR determined on September
____, 1999 for the period from September ____, 1999 up to be excluding October
13, 1999, and at a rate equal to ____% per annum above LIBOR determined on the
related LIBOR Determination Date for each Interest Accrual Period thereafter or
(ii) the applicable Net Receivables Rate (such rate, as in effect from time to
time, the "Class D Certificate Rate"). Interest on the Class D Certificates will
accrue from the Series 0000-0 Xxxxxxxx Date and will be distributed on October
13, 1999, and on the 13th day of each month thereafter, or if such day is not a
Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, a "Distribution Date"),
in an amount equal to the product of (a) the actual number of days in the
related Interest Accrual Period divided by 360, (b) the Class D Certificate Rate
and (c) with respect to the Funding Period, the outstanding principal balance of
the Class D Certificates at the close of business on the first day of such
Interest Accrual Period.
"Class D Invested Amount" means an amount equal to (a) the initial
principal balance of the Class D Certificates plus (b) the Class D Incremental
Invested Amount for the related Monthly Period, plus (c) any Additional Class D
Invested Amount, minus (d) the aggregate amount of principal payments made to
Class D Certificateholders prior to such date, minus (e) the aggregate amount of
Class D Investor Charge-Offs for all prior Determination Dates as described in
the Agreement, minus (f) the aggregate amount of Reallocated Class D Principal
Collections for all prior Distribution Dates, plus (g) the aggregate amount of
Interest Collections and Excess Interest Collections applied on all prior
Distribution Dates for the purpose of reimbursing amounts deducted pursuant to
the foregoing clauses (e) and (f).
Subject to the Agreement, payments of principal are limited to the unpaid
Class D Invested Amount of the Class D Certificates, which may be less than the
unpaid balance of the Class D Certificates pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement.
All principal of and interest on the Class D Certificates is due and
payable no later than the Distribution Date in ____________ (the "Series 1999-1
Termination Date"). After the Series 1999-1 Termination Date neither the Trust
nor the Transferor will have any further obligation to distribute principal or
interest on the Class D Certificates. In the event that the Class D Invested
Amount is greater than zero on the Series 1999-1 Termination Date, the Trustee
will sell or cause
D-3
to be sold, to the extent necessary, an amount of interests in the Receivables
or certain of the Receivables up to 110% of the Class A Invested Amount, the
Class B Invested Amount, the Class C Invested Amount and the Class D Invested
Amount at the close of business on such date (but not more than the total amount
of Receivables allocable to the Investor Certificates), and shall pay the
proceeds to the Class A Certificateholders pro rata in final payment of the
Class A Certificates, then to the Class B Certificateholders pro rata in final
payment of the Class B Certificates, then to the Class C Certificateholders pro
rata in final payment of the Class C Certificates and finally to the Class D
Certificateholders pro rata in final payment of the Class D Certificates.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on
behalf of the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferor has caused this Certificate to be duly

Ladies and Gentlemen:
This is to notify you as to the transfer of $______ of Floorplan Receivable
Trust Certificates, Series 1999-1, Class C (the "Class C Certificates") of Green
Tree Floorplan Receivables Master Trust (the "Company").
The undersigned is the holder of the Class C Certificates and with this
notice hereby deposits with the Trustee $_____ principal amount of Class C
Certificates and requests that Class C Certificates in the same principal amount
be issued and executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee and
registered to the purchaser on _________, ____, as specified in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, as supplemented by the Series 1999-1 Supplement thereto, as
follows:
Name: Denominations:
Address:
Taxpayer I.D. No.:
In connection with the proposed purchase, the undersigned hereby confirms
that:
1. The undersigned (i) reasonably believes the purchaser is a "qualified
institutional buyer," as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933
(the "Act"), (ii) such purchaser has acquired the Class C Certificates in a
transaction effected in accordance with the exemption from the registration
requirements of the Act provided by Rule 144A and, (iii) if the purchaser has
purchased the Certificates for one or more accounts for which it is acting as
fiduciary or agent, (A) each such account is a qualified institutional buyer and
(B) each such account is acquiring the Class C Certificates for its own account
or for one or more institutional accounts
F-1
for which it is acting as fiduciary or agent in a minimum amount equivalent to
not less than U.S. $250,000 for each such account.
2. The undersigned has neither acquired nor will the undersigned reoffer,
resell, pledge or otherwise transfer (any such act, a "Transfer") any Class C
Certificate the undersigned acquires (or any interest therein) or cause any
Class C Certificate (or any interest therein) to be marketed on or through an
"established securities market" within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and any treasury
regulation thereunder, including, without limitation, an over-the-counter-market
or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell
quotations.
3. The undersigned is not and will not become, for so long as the
undersigned owns any interest in the Class C Certificates, a partnership,
Subchapter S corporation or grantor trust for United States federal income tax
purposes. [If this representation cannot be made, the Transferor, the Servicer
or the Trustee may require additional representations.]
4. The undersigned is a person who is either (A)(i) a citizen or resident
of the United States, (ii) a corporation or other entity organized in or under
the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or (iii) a
person not described in (i) or (ii) whose ownership of the Class C Certificates
is effectively connected with a such person's conduct of a trade or business
within the United States (within the meaning of the Code) and our ownership of
any interest in the Class C Certificate will not result in any withholding
obligation with respect to any payments with respect to the Class C Certificates
by any person or (B) an estate or trust the income of which is includible in
gross income for United States federal income tax purposes. The undersigned
agrees that (a) if the undersigned is a person described in clause (A)(i) or
(A)(ii) above, the undersigned will furnish to the person from whom the
undersigned is acquiring a Class C Certificate, the Servicer and the Trustee, a
properly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and a new Form W-9, or
any successor applicable form, upon the expiration or obsolescence of any
previously delivered form or (b) if the undersigned a person described in clause
(A)(iii) above, the undersigned will furnish to the person from whom the
undersigned is acquiring a Class C Certificate, the Servicer and the Trustee, a
properly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 and a new Form 4224,
or any successor applicable form, upon the expiration or obsolescence of any
previously delivered form (and, in each case, such other certifications,
representations or opinions of counsel as may be requested by the Transferor,
the Servicer or the Trustee). The undersigned recognizes that if the undersigned
is a tax-exempt entity, payments with respect to the Class C Certificates may
constitute unrelated business income.
5. The undersigned understands that no subsequent Transfer of a Class C
Certificate is permitted unless (i) such Transfer is of a Class C Certificate
with a denomination of at least $1,000,000 and (ii) the Transferor and the
Servicer each consents in writing to the proposed Transfer, which consent shall
be granted (assuming that all other conditions to such Transfer are satisfied)
unless either the Transferor or the Servicer determines in its sole and absolute
discretion that such Transfer would created a risk that the Trust would be
classified for federal or any applicable state tax purposes as an association or
publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation; provided, that any
attempted Transfer that would cause the number of Targeted
F-2
Holders (as defined in the Series 1999-1 Supplement) to exceed ninety nine shall
be void; and provided, further, that there shall not at any time be more than 5
holders of Class C Certificates of Series 1999-1 or such other number as may be
consented to by the Transferor, which consent may be withheld in its sole and
absolute discretion.
6. The undersigned understands that the opinion of tax counsel that the
Trust is not a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation is dependent
in part on the accuracy of the representations in paragraphs 2, 3, 4 and 5 above
and that, if such representations are not accurate, in addition to being subject
to having the purchase rescinded, the undersigned will be liable for damages.
7. The undersigned is either (a) not (i) an "employee benefit plan" (as
defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA), including governmental plans and church
plans, (ii) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, including
individual retirement accounts and Xxxxx plans, or (iii) any other entity whose
underlying assets include "plan assets" (as defined in the United States
Department of Labor ("DOL") Regulation Section 2510.3-101, 29 C.F.R. ss.
2510.3-101 or otherwise under ERISA) by reason of a plan's investment in the
entity, including, without limitation, an insurance company general account, or
(b) an insurance company acting on behalf of a general account and (i) on the
date hereof less than 25% of the assets of such general account (as reasonably
determined by us) constitute "plan assets" for purposes of Title I of ERISA and
Section 4975 of the Code, and (ii) the undersigned agrees that if, after the
undersigned's initial acquisition of the Class C Certificates, at any time
during any calendar quarter 25% or more of the assets of such general account
(as reasonably determined by us no less frequently than each calendar quarter)
constitute "plan assets" for purposes of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code and no exemption or exception from the prohibited transaction rules applies
to the continued holding of the Class C Certificates under Section 401(c) of
ERISA and the final regulations thereunder or under an exemption or regulation
issued by the DOL under ERISA, we will dispose of all of the Class C
Certificates then held in our general account by the end of the next following
calendar quarter.
8. The undersigned understands that any purported Transfer of any Class C
Certificate in contravention of the restrictions and conditions set forth in
paragraphs 1 through 7 above (including any violation of the representation in
paragraph 3 by an investor who continues to hold a Class C Certificate occurring
any time after the Transfer in which it acquired such Class C Certificate) shall
be null and void, and the purported transferee shall not be recognized by the
Trust or any other person as a Class C Certificateholder for any purpose.
9. The person signing this letter on behalf of the ultimate beneficial
purchaser of the Class C Certificates has been duly authorized by such
beneficial purchaser of the Class C Certificates to do so.
10. The Class C Certificates purchased by the undersigned should be
registered in the name and issued in the denominations set forth on Schedule 1
hereto. All payments on the Class C Certificates held by the undersigned should
be wired in accordance with the instructions set forth on Schedule 1 hereto
unless the undersigned otherwise notifies the Transferor, the Servicer and the
Trustee in writing.
F-3
You are entitled to rely upon this letter, and the undersigned understands
that, in granting their respective consents to the purchase of Class C
Certificates, the Transferor and the Servicer will rely on the undersigned's
representations and warranties in this letter and on the undersigned's
certifications in the documents (including, without limitation, the Form W-9 or
Form 4224, as applicable) delivered by the undersigned to the Transferor, the
Servicer or the Trustee in conjunction with the purchase of Class C Certificates
by the undersigned. You are irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a
copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or
official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.
Very truly yours,
