affixed to the Global Certificate and made a part thereof) or otherwise make in

integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof) by surrendering such Certificate
at the Corporate Trust Office, or at the office of any transfer agent, together
with an executed instrument of assignment and transfer satisfactory in form and
substance to the Trustee in the case of transfer and a written request for
exchange in the case of exchange. The holder of a beneficial interest in a
Global Certificate may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository,
cause the Depository (or its nominee) to notify the Trustee in writing of a
request for transfer or exchange of such beneficial interest for an Individual
Certificate or Certificates. Following a proper request for transfer or
exchange, the Trustee shall, within five Business Days of such request made at
the Corporate Trust Office, sign, countersign and deliver at the
Corporate Trust Office, to the transferee (in the case of transfer) or holder
(in the case of exchange) or send by first class mail at the risk of the
transferee (in the case of transfer) or holder (in the case of exchange) to such
address as the transferee or holder, as applicable, may request, an Individual
Certificate or Certificates, as the case may require, for a like aggregate
Percentage Interest and in such authorized denomination or denominations as may
be requested. The presentation for transfer or exchange of any Individual
Certificate shall not be valid unless made at the Corporate Trust Office by the
registered holder in person, or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact.
Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer will be required to
monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with the transfer restrictions
with respect to the Global Certificates. Any attempted or purported transfer of
any Certificate in violation of the provisions of Subsections (a) or (b) above
shall be void ab initio and such Certificate shall be considered to have been
held continuously by the prior permitted Certificateholder. Any transferor of
any Certificate in violation of such provisions, shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Trustee and the Master Servicer from and against any and all
liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by the Trustee or the Master
Servicer as a result of such attempted or purported transfer. The Trustee shall
have no liability for transfer of any such Global Certificates in or through
book-entry facilities of any Depository or between or among Depository
Participants or Certificate Owners made in violation of the transfer
restrictions set forth herein.
5. Section 6.02(b) of the Agreement shall be amended effective as of
the date hereof by adding the following sentence before the last sentence of the
first paragraph of such Section:
Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence,
no restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer or registration of
transfer of a beneficial interest in any Certificate that is a Global
Certificate of a Class to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a
beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of such Class provided that each
such transferee shall be deemed to have made such representations and warranties
contained in the Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate as are sufficient to
establish that it is a QIB.
6. Section 6.06 of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the
date hereof by adding the following paragraphs to the end of such Section:
The Private Certificates shall initially be held in fully registered
certificated form. If at any time the Holders of all of the Certificates of one
or more such Classes request that the Trustee cause such Class to become Global
Certificates, the Depositor (with the assistance of the Trustee) will take such
action as may be reasonably required to cause the Depository to accept such
Class or Classes for trading if it may legally be so traded. If at anytime there
are to be Global Certificates, the Global Certificates shall be delivered to the
Depository by the Depositor or deposited with the Trustee as custodian for the
Depository.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of such respective Classes of
Book-Entry Certificates and any Global Certificates shall be made in accordance
with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm
representing such Certificate Owners. Each Depository Participant shall only
transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of
brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository's
normal procedures.
7. Except as amended above, the Agreement shall continue to be in full
force and effect in accordance with its terms.
