(b) Reallocation of Subordinated Investor Interests to Reimburse Class A Cumulative Investor Charged-Off Amount. On each Distribution Date, if the Class A Cumulative Investor Charged-Off Amount is greater than zero after all of the adjustments described in Section 11(a), then:
(1) The remaining Class A Cumulative Investor Charged-Off Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the lesser of(A) the remaining Class A Cumulative Investor Charged-Off Amount and(B) the Class C Investor Interest
and the Class C Cumulative Investor Charged-Off Amount shall be increased by such amount; provided, however, that the Class C Cumulative Investor Charged-Off Amount would not, as a result, and after giving effect to all of the adjustments described in Section 11(a), exceed the Class C Initial Investor Interest.

(A) the remaining Class A Cumulative Investor Charged-Off Amount and(B) the Class B Investor Interest
and the Class B Cumulative Investor Charged-Off Amount shall be increased by such amount; provided, however, that the Class B Cumulative Investor Charged-Off Amount would not, as a result, and after giving effect to all of the adjustments described in Section 11(a), exceed the Class B Initial Investor Interest.
43
(A) the Class B Cumulative Investor Charged-Off Amount and(B) the Class C Investor Interest
(d) Investor Charge-Off Losses. On each Distribution Date, after giving effect to all allocations and deposits pursuant to Section 8, the Investor Charge-Off Loss for each Class shall equal the Class Cumulative Investor Charged-Off Amount for that Class, after giving effect to all of the adjustments described in Sections 11(a), 11(b) and 11(c).
SECTION 12. Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its servicing activities hereunder and under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reimbursement of its expenses as set forth in Section 3.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive a monthly servicing fee with respect to the Series established hereby in respect of any Due Period (or portion thereof) prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which the Series Investor Interest is reduced to zero or (ii) the Series Termination Date. The Series Monthly Servicing Fee shall be paid to the Servicer on or before each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 8.
SECTION 13. Class Coupon Cap Agreement and Class Coupon Floor Agreement.
(a) The Servicer may obtain Class Coupon Cap Agreements in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of each Class or Subclass that does not have a fixed Certificate Rate or Embedded Coupon Cap. If applicable, each such Class Coupon Cap Agreement shall provide that (i) the Trust shall not be required to make any payments thereunder and (ii) the Trust shall be entitled to receive payments (determined in accordance with such Class Coupon Cap Agreement) from the Coupon Cap Provider on an Interest Payment Date if LIBOR or the Commercial Paper Rate (or such other index as determined by the Servicer, a "Substitute Index"), as applicable, for the related Calculation Period exceeds the Class Coupon Cap for the applicable Class or Subclass. Any Class Coupon Cap Payment shall be made in accordance with Sections 8 and 9.
(b) The
Servicer may cause the Trust to sell Class Coupon Floor Agreements concurrently
with its acquisition of Class Coupon Cap Agreements and shall apply the
proceeds of such sale to the acquisition of such Class Coupon Cap Agreements.
The Class Coupon Floor Agreements will require the Trust to make payments
to the Coupon Floor Purchaser on an Interest Payment Date if LIBOR, the
Commercial Paper Rate or a Substitute Index, as applicable, for the related
Calculation Period is less than the Class Coupon Floor for the applicable
Class or Subclass. Any Class Coupon Floor Payment shall be made in accordance
with Sections 8 and 9.
44
(c) The Trustee hereby appoints the Servicer to perform the duties of the calculation agent under the Class Coupon Cap Agreement and the Class Coupon Floor Agreement and the Servicer accepts such appointment.
(d) The Servicer may at any time direct the Trustee to terminate any Class Coupon Cap Agreement if such termination is permitted at such time under the terms of the applicable Class Coupon Cap Agreement. Any proceeds of such termination or sale shall, at the Servicer's election, either be (i) used to obtain a replacement Class Coupon Cap Agreement or (ii) applied as a Class Coupon Cap Payment in accordance with Section 8.
SECTION 14. Interest Rate Swaps. The Servicer may obtain Interest Rate Swaps in a form approved by the Servicer to be entered into by the Trustee not in its personal capacity but solely for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders; provided that the sum of the Swap Notional Amounts for such Interest Rate Swaps shall not exceed the Class A and Class B Invested Amount for this Series and the Swap Rate shall not exceed the maximum Swap Rate set forth in the Series Term Sheet. Pursuant to the terms of the Interest Rate Swap, the Trustee is to receive payment from the Swap Counterparty prior to 10:00 a.m. Chicago time on any Distribution Date of the amount of any Swap Counterparty Payment to be paid by the Swap Counterparty on such Distribution Date. If the Trustee does not receive such payment by 10:00 a.m. Chicago time on such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall attempt to determine from the Swap Counterparty the reasons therefore and whether such payment is to be made by the Swap Counterparty on such Distribution Date. If the Interest Rate Swap has not been terminated and the Trustee has not received any Swap Counterparty Payment due on the related Distribution Date prior to 4:00 p.m. Chicago time on such Distribution Date, (i) the Trustee shall notify the Servicer of such fact prior to 4:15 p.m. Chicago time on such Distribution Date, and (ii) the Trustee shall revise the Investors Monthly Certificateholders Statement required by Section 15 hereof to reflect that the Swap Counterparty Payment was not received by the Trustee for such Distribution Date.

(b) any representation or warranty made by the Seller in this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Certificate Purchase Agreement or any information contained in Schedule 1 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made or when delivered, which representation, warranty or Schedule 1 continues to be incorrect in any material respect for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Seller by the Trustee, or to the Seller and the Trustee by the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Class Invested Amount of any Class of any Series materially adversely affected thereby;
(c) the Seller shall become unable for any reason to transfer Receivables to the Trust in accordance with the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and such inability shall continue for five Business Days;
(d) any Servicer Termination Event shall occur that would have a material adverse effect on the Investor Certificateholders;
(e) the Trust shall become an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;
(f) the amount of Principal Receivables in the Trust at the end of any Due Period shall be less than the Minimum Principal Receivables Balance and the Seller shall have failed to assign Principal Receivables in Additional Accounts or Participation Interests to the Trust on behalf of the Seller in at least the amount of such deficiency by the Distribution Date related to the second subsequent Due Period (for purposes of this clause (f) the amount of Principal Receivables in Additional Accounts shall be determined as of the last day of the Due Period preceding the assignment of such Principal Receivables to the Trust); or
(g) there shall have been three Distribution Dates on which the Net Yield is less than the Base Rate since the later of the Series Closing Date or the last Distribution Date on which the Investor Loss for each Class of the Series equaled zero;
then
(x) in the case of any event described in subparagraphs (a), (b) or (d) after any applicable grace period set forth in such subparagraphs, either the Trustee or the Holders of Investors Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Series Investor Interest by notice then given in writing to the Seller and the Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by the Investor Certificateholders) may declare that an amortization event (a "Rapid Amortization Event") has occurred with respect to the Series established hereby as of the date of such notice;
46
(y) in the case of any event described in subparagraph (c), (e) or (f), a Rapid Amortization Event shall occur with respect to all Series of Investor Certificates, immediately upon the occurrence of such event; and
(z) in the case of any event described in subparagraph (g), a Rapid Amortization Event shall occur with respect to the Investor Certificates of the Series established hereby, immediately upon the occurrence of such event.
SECTION 19. Variable Accumulation Period.
(a) If the Series Term Sheet for the Series established hereby so provides, the Servicer may elect, by written notice to the Trustee, the Seller and the Rating Agencies, to delay the commencement of the Controlled Accumulation Period and, if applicable, to delay or accelerate the accumulation of Class B principal, and extend the length of the Revolving Period, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 19; provided, however, that the Controlled Accumulation Period shall commence no later than the first day of the Due Period related to the Class A Expected Final Payment Date; and provided, further, that the accumulation of Class B principal shall not commence more than three Distribution Dates prior to the Class B Expected Final Payment Date unless Standard & Poor's has confirmed in writing that it will not lower or withdraw its rating on any Class of any Series then outstanding as a result of such accumulation. Any such election by the Servicer shall be made no later than the last day of the last scheduled Due Period of the Revolving Period (including any prior extension of the Revolving Period pursuant to this Section 19); provided, however, that the Servicer may elect to accelerate accumulation of Class B principal at any time, so long as such election is made no later than the last day of the Due Period related to the first Distribution Date on which a Class B principal deposit will be made. The Servicer may make such election only if the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee a certificate to the effect that the Servicer reasonably believes that the delay in the commencement of the Controlled Accumulation Period and, if applicable, the delay or acceleration of the accumulation of Class B principal, would not result in the Class Invested Amount with respect to any Class of the Series established hereby not being paid in full on the relevant Class Expected Final Payment Date, a copy of which will have been provided to the Rating Agencies; (ii) the amount to be deposited in the Series Principal Funding Account in respect of the Class Controlled Accumulation Amount for each Class on each Distribution Date shall have been specified; and (iii) the sum of the Class Controlled Accumulation Amounts so specified for each Class for each Distribution Date occurring on or prior to the applicable Class Expected Final Payment Date shall equal the applicable Class Initial Investor Interest.
(b) If,
on or prior to the date on which the Servicer elects to delay the commencement
of the Controlled Accumulation Period and, if applicable, the accumulation
of Class B principal, Seller has entered into a commitment to sell a new
Series to one or more third parties, the Servicer may consider the issuance
of such new Series and the availability of proceeds
47
therefrom in delivering the certificate required pursuant to subsection (a)(i) above; provided, however, that the Servicer shall only consider such commitment in delivering such certificate if the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) the Servicer has no reason to believe that the conditions to issue a new Series set forth in Section 6.07 will not be able to be satisfied at the time such new Series is scheduled to be sold pursuant to the commitment;(ii) each of the Rating Agencies has confirmed in writing that it will not lower or withdraw its ratings of any Class of Investor Certificates of the Series established hereby if the Servicer relies on such commitment to issue such certificate;
(iii) the commitment requires the applicable third parties to purchase the new Series, or the applicable Investor Certificates thereof, no later than the Class A Expected Final Payment Date, subject to reasonable closing conditions; and
(iv) the Seller has agreed in writing to deposit a specified amount of proceeds from such sale into the Series Principal Funding Account for the Series established hereby on the date such proceeds are received.
SECTION 20. Series Yield Factor. The Series Yield Factor for the Series established hereby initially shall be the Series Yield Factor set forth in the Series Term Sheet. The Servicer may change the Series Yield Factor upon 20 days prior written notice to the Trustee, the Seller, the Third Party Credit Enhancement Provider and the Rating Agencies, provided that the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the Series Yield Factor may not be reduced below the initial Series Yield Factor; (ii) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee a certificate to the effect that the Servicer reasonably believes that the change in the Series Yield Factor would not (x) result in any delay in the payment of principal to the Investor Certificateholders of any Series then outstanding, or (y) cause a Rapid Amortization Event to occur with respect to any Series then outstanding; and (iii) the Rating Agencies shall have advised the Servicer and the Seller that such change in the Series Yield Factor would not cause a Ratings Event. Any such change shall be effective as of the first day of the Due Period specified in the notice of the Servicer. Series Yield Collections, if any, shall be treated as a "Series Additional Allocable Amount."
SECTION
21. Variable Funding Mechanics. The Series 2002-VFC Certificates
are a Series of Variable Funding Certificates. Consequently:
48
(a) During the Revolving Period, the Seller may, in its discretion, but subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in the Certificate Purchase Agreement, request the then existing Ownership Groups to purchase increases in the Class A Invested Amount, so long as after giving effect to such increase and any related increase in the Class C Invested Amount (i) the Class A Invested Amount will not exceed the Maximum Class A Invested Amount and (ii) the Minimum Principal Receivables Balance (calculated on the date of such increase, as if such date were a Determination Date) shall not be less than the amount of Principal Receivables in the Trust on the first day of the Due Period during which such increase occurs. Automatically upon the payment to the Seller of the aggregate purchase price for any such increase in accordance with the terms of the Certificate Purchase Agreement, the Class Initial Investor Interest of the Class A Investor Certificates shall increase by the amount of that increase, and the Class C Initial Investor Interest shall increase by the amount necessary so that the Class C Invested Amount will at least equal the Required Class C Invested Amount after giving effect to the increase in the Class A Invested Amount. Any such increase in the Class A Invested Amount shall be allocated among the Class A Investor Certificates of the existing Ownership Groups as specified by the Seller in its request for such increase in accordance with the terms of the Certificate Purchase Agreement. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee of any increase in the Class A Invested Amount and Class C Invested Amount concurrently with its request to the applicable Conduit Managing Agents relating to such increase, which notice shall specify what portions of the increase in the Class A Invested Amount have been allocated to each Ownership Group.
(b) During the Revolving Period, the Seller may, in its discretion, but subject to the terms of the Certificate Purchase Agreement, instruct the Trustee to issue additional investor certificates of Class A (each such additional certificates, the "Additional Certificates") for the Series established hereby in a maximum invested amount and on the date (the "Additional Certificate Date") determined by the Seller. Upon issuance, the Additional Certificates will be identical in all respects (except that the principal amount of such Additional Certificates may be different) to the Investor Certificates currently outstanding and will be equally and ratably entitled to the benefits of this Series Supplement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. If such issuance results in an increase in the Class A Invested Amount, then the Class C Initial Investor Interest shall increase by the amount necessary so that the Class C Invested Amount will at least equal the Required Class C Invested Amount after giving effect to the increase in the Class A Invested Amount. No such issuance shall be permitted unless:
(i) On or before the fifth Business Day immediately preceding the date on which the Additional Certificates are to be issued, the Seller shall give notice to the Administrative Agent, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Rating Agencies of such issuance and the date upon which it is to occur; and(ii) After giving effect to the addition of the Additional Certificates to the Series and any related increase in the Class C Invested Amount, (A) the Class A Invested Amount shall not be greater than the Maximum Class A Invested Amount and (B) the Minimum Principal Receivables Balance (calculated on the date of such addition, as if such date were a Determination Date) shall not be less than the amount of Principal Receivables in the Trust on the first day of the Due Period during which such addition occurs.
49
(i) On any Business Day, the Seller may cause the Servicer to provide notice to the Trustee and the affected Holders at least one Business Day prior to any Business Day on which the Seller wishes to make a principal payment on the Class A Certificates, stating its intention to pay the Class A Invested Amount in full or in part in an amount of not less than $1,000,000 or a higher integral multiple thereof for each Ownership Group as to which an optional amortization is taking place, except that the amount of the payment for any Ownership Group may equal the entire outstanding balance of the related Class A Investor Certificate. Such notice shall state the date or dates (each, a "Voluntary Limited Amortization Date") on which the Seller wishes to make a principal payment on the Class A Certificates, the amount of the payment to be made and the allocation of payment among the various outstanding Ownership Groups. The payment shall be allocated among the various Ownership Groups at the discretion of the Seller, except that during a Rapid Amortization Period any such payment must be allocated on a pro rata basis, determined by the outstanding balances of the various Ownership Groups' Class A Investor Certificates. Accrued interest on the principal that has been repaid and any related Class A Additional Amounts shall be payable on the Distribution Date occurring on such Limited Amortization Date or, if such Limited Amortization Date is not a Distribution Date, on the first Distribution Date following such Limited Amortization Date. Upon any decrease in the Class A Invested Amount pursuant to this clause (i) during the Revolving Period, the Class C Invested Amount shall automatically decrease to the Required Class C Invested Amount.(ii) If at any time, (A) the Seller has requested an extension of the Purchase Expiration Date, (B) there are one or more Non-Extending Ownership Groups and (C) the Seller has not repaid the outstanding Class A Invested Amount of each Non-Extending Ownership Group prior to the Purchase Expiration Date (without giving effect to the requested extension), then a Mandatory Limited Amortization Period shall automatically commence for each such Non-Extending Ownership Group at the close of business of the Purchase Expiration Date (without giving effect to the requested extension).
(i) On or before the fifth Business Day immediately preceding the Seller-Owned Class Purchase Date, the Seller shall give notice to the Trustee, the Servicer and the Rating Agencies of such sale or transfer, the Seller-Owned Class Purchase Date, and the increase in the Certificate Rate for such Purchased Class, if any;
50
(ii) On or before the Seller-Owned Class Purchase Date, the Trustee shall have been advised in writing by the Rating Agencies that the sale or transfer of the Purchased Class and the increase in the Certificate Rate for such Purchased Class, if any, will not cause a Ratings Event;
(iii) On or before the Seller-Owned Class Purchase Date, the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate dated as of the Seller-Owned Class Purchase Date, stating that the Seller reasonably believes that the sale of such Seller-Owned Class will not have a material adverse effect on any other outstanding Class of the Series;
(iv) As of the Seller-Owned Class Purchase Date, the amount of Class Investor Loss for all Classes of this Series shall be zero;
(v) The Holders of the Purchased Class shall have agreed that they shall not be entitled to principal payments with respect to such Purchased Class until the Class Investor Interest for all Classes senior to such Purchased Class have been reduced to zero;
(vi) No Rapid Amortization Event with respect to this Series shall have occurred;
(vii) On or before the Seller-Owned Class Purchase Date, the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee a Tax Opinion with respect to the Purchased Class.
SECTION 24. Monthly Deposit. If at any time the short-term debt rating of Sears is reduced below A-1/P-1 by Standard & Poor's or Xxxxx'x, as applicable, or if at any time Sears is not the Servicer, the Servicer shall deposit, with respect to this Series, an amount into the Collections Account equal to the following:
(a) On the third Business Day of each month an amount equal to the sum of the Class Modified Required Amounts for all Classes of this Series for the Distribution Date in the following month; provided that the Class A Modified Required Amount for the Distribution Date in the following month shall be deemed to be the Estimated Modified Required Amount unless the Servicer shall have determined, or shall have received written notice from any Conduit Managing Agent to the effect that, the portion of the Class A Modified Required Amount payable to the related Ownership Group on the related Distribution Date will exceed that Ownership Group's pro rata share of the amount then on deposit with the Trustee in respect of the Class A Modified Required Amount; and provided, further that upon making any such determination or receiving any such notice from a Conduit Managing Agent, the Servicer shall appropriately adjust its estimate of the Class A Modified Required Amount and shall, not later than three Business Days after making such determination or receiving such notice, deposit the positive difference, if any, between the amount so
51
deposited on the third Business Day of the month and the sum of the Class Modified Required Amounts for all Classes for this Series after giving effect to the revised estimate; and provided, further that any Conduit Managing Agent may telephone the Trustee at (000) 000-0000 to verify the amount then on deposit with the Trustee in respect of the Class A Modified Required Amount.
(b) On the third Business Day of each month if such month is in the Controlled Amortization Period, the sum of the Class A Controlled Amortization Amount and the Class B Controlled Amortization Amount for the related Distribution Date;
(c) On the third Business Day of each month if such month is in the Rapid Amortization Period, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the estimated Series Principal Collections that the Servicer reasonably expects to collect on behalf of the Trust during such month and (ii) the sum of the Class A Investor Interest and the Class B Investor Interest;
(d) On the third Business Day of each month if such month is in a Mandatory Limited Amortization Period, an amount equal to the Limited Amortization Amount for the related Distribution Date; and
(e) On or before each Voluntary Limited Amortization Date, the Limited Amortization Amount for that Voluntary Limited Amortization Date;
In the
event that on any day following the Determination Date with respect to
the Interest Accrual Period immediately preceding any Distribution Date,
amounts deposited in the Collections Account with respect to clause (a)
of this Section exceed the sum of the actual Class Modified Required Amounts
for all Classes of this Series, then the Trustee shall, if so instructed
in writing by the Servicer, withdraw the amount of such excess from the
Collections Account and transfer it to the Servicer.

[FORM OF THE REVERSE OF THE CLASS A CERTIFICATES]
It is the intent of SRFG and the Investor Certificateholders that, for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes only, the Investor Certificates will be evidence of indebtedness. SRFG and the Class A Certificateholder, by the acceptance of this Class A Certificate, agree to treat this Class A Certificate for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness secured by the Receivables and other assets held in the Trust.
To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Series Supplement. This Class A Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Series Supplement, as each may be amended from time to time, the Class A Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Class A Certificateholder is bound.
This Class A Certificate is one of a series of Certificates entitled "Class A Master Trust Variable Funding Certificates, Series 2002-VFC" (the "Class A Certificates"), each of which represents a Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust, including the right to receive the Collections and other amounts at the times and in the amounts specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement to be deposited in the Investor Accounts with respect to Sears Credit Account Master Trust II, Series 2002-VFC or paid to the Class A Certificateholders. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement are Investor Certificates designated as "Class C Master Trust Variable Funding Certificates, Series 2002-VFC" (the "Class C Certificates"). The Class A Certificates and the Class C Certificates are collectively referred to herein as the Investor Certificates.
The aggregate
interest represented by the Class A Certificates at any time in the assets
of the Trust shall not exceed an amount equal to the Class A Investor Interest
at such time, plus accrued but unpaid Certificate Interest for the
Class A Certificates, any interest thereon and any accrued but unpaid Class
A Additional Amounts. The "Class A Initial Investor Interest" at
any time will equal $250,000,000, plus the aggregate amount of additions
to the Class A Initial Investor Interest made pursuant to Section 21(a)
of the Series Supplement, plus the aggregate initial outstanding
amount of any Additional Class A Investor Certificates authenticated and
delivered pursuant to Section 21(b), minus the aggregate face amount
of any Class A Investor Certificates cancelled pursuant to Section 6.16
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Class
A Invested Amount at any time will be an amount equal to the Class A Initial
Investor Interest minus the sum of (a) the aggregate amount of payments
of Certificate Principal paid to the Class A Certificateholders prior to
such Distribution Date and (b) the Investor Loss, if any, for such Class
at the beginning of such Distribution Date. In addition to the Investor
Certificates, a Seller Certificate has been issued pursuant to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement which represents, at any time, the undivided interest
in the Trust not represented by the Investor Certificates or the investor
certificates of any other series of investor certificates then outstanding.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
the Seller may from time to time direct the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust,
to issue one or more new series of investor certificates, which will represent
Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust.
A-1-3
This Class A Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, SRFG or the Servicer. This Class A Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain Collections respecting the Receivables, all as more specifically set forth hereinabove and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions, the amendment and modification of the rights and obligations of the Servicer, and the rights of Investor Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Series Supplement, at any time by the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee in certain cases (some of which require written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such amendment will not cause a Ratings Event) without the consent of the Investor Certificateholders, and in all other cases with the consent of the Investor Certificateholders owning Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 66-2/3% of the Class Invested Amount of each such affected Class (and with written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such amendment will not cause a Ratings Event); provided, however, that no such amendment shall (a) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, distributions which are required to be made on any Investor Certificate without the consent of the affected Investor Certificateholders or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of each Investor Certificateholder of each affected Class then of record. Any such amendment and any such consent by the Class A Certificateholder shall be conclusive and binding on such Class A Certificateholder and upon all future Holders of this Class A Certificate and of any Class A Certificate issued in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation thereof is made upon this Class A Certificate.
The transfer of this Class A Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Investor Certificate for registration of transfer at any office or agency maintained by the Transfer Agent and Registrar accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar duly executed by the Class A Certificateholder or such Class A Certificateholder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Class A Certificates of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class A Certificates are exchangeable for new Class A Certificates evidencing like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interests, as requested by the Class A Certificateholder surrendering such Class A Certificates. No service charge may be imposed for any such exchange but the Servicer or Transfer Agent and Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.
The Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Transfer Agent, and any agent of any of them, may treat the person in whose name this Class A Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Servicer, the Trust nor the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent, nor any agent of any of them or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary except in certain circumstances described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
