SECTION 1.02. Calculations Respecting Agency Securities.
(a) In connection with all calculations required to be made pursuant to this Agreement with
respect to Agency Security Distributions on any Agency Security, or any payments on any other
assets included in the Trust Fund, and with respect to the income that can be earned from the
reinvestment of Agency Security Distributions and of any other amounts receivable for deposit in a
Trust Account, the rules set forth in this Section 1.02 shall be applied except to the extent
expressly supplemented or modified herein.
(b) All calculations with respect to Agency Security Distributions on an Agency Security shall
be made on the basis of information or accountings as to Agency Security Distributions on such
Agency Security:
(1) furnished by the issuer thereof or published by a third party that bases the
information published by it on information furnished by or on behalf of Xxxxxx Xxx, in the
case of a Xxxxxx Mae I Agency Security, and
(2) furnished by the paying agent therefor or published by a third party that bases the
information published by it on information furnished by or on behalf of Xxxxxx Xxx, in the
case of a Xxxxxx Xxx XX Agency Security
To the extent they are not patently incorrect on their face, such information or accountings may be
conclusively relied upon in making such calculations, subject to adjustment pursuant to Sections
5.01 and 6.01(c) under the circumstances and in the manner therein set forth.
(c) All calculations with respect to future Agency Security Distributions on the Agency
Securities shall be made on the assumption that all of the mortgage loans underlying the Agency
Securities in a particular Cash Flow Value Group constitute a single fully-amortizing fixed-rate
mortgage loan:
(1) bearing interest at a fixed rate equal to the highest rate that might be borne by
any of the mortgage loans underlying any of the Agency Securities in such Cash Flow Value
Group (such highest rate being the sum of (A) the Agency Security Rate for the Agency
Securities in such Cash Flow Value Group and (B) either (1) the highest servicing fee and
guaranty fee, if any, applicable to any of the underlying mortgage loans or (2) if the exact
servicing fee and guaranty fee, if any, applicable to any of the underlying mortgage loans
is not known, the highest possible servicing fee and guaranty fee, if any, that might be
applicable thereto as provided in applicable guidelines for the program pursuant to which
such Agency Securities were issued) and subject to a servicing fee and guaranty fee, if any,
equal to the amount described above in clause (B)(1) or (B)(2) of the foregoing
parenthetical clause, whichever is applicable;
19
(2) having an outstanding principal balance equal to the aggregate of the then current
Agency Security Principal Balances of all the Agency Securities included in such Cash Flow
Value Group;
(3) maturing in the month of the scheduled maturity date of the latest maturing Agency
Security in such Cash Flow Value Group; and
(4) which either provides for fixed level monthly payments or, in the case of a Cash
Flow Value Group composed of GPM Agency Securities, provides for scheduled payment increases
equal to the largest percentage increase possible for any of the GPM Loans underlying the
GPM Agency Securities in such Cash Flow Value Group, which payment increases become
effective in the months in which payment increases would become effective for an underlying
GPM Loan maturing in the month of the scheduled maturity date of the latest maturing GPM
Agency Security in such Cash Flow Value Group.
(d) All calculations with respect to future Agency Security Distributions shall be made on the
assumption that none of the underlying mortgage loans are prepaid and that all such mortgage loans
are paid in accordance with their actual payment schedule, or the assumed payment schedule
calculated pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 1.02, whichever is applicable. Calculations
of such Agency Security Distributions and of Agency Security Principal Balances shall give effect
to the period of time that elapses between scheduled due dates on which payments on underlying
mortgage loans are due and the dates on which such payments are required to be distributed to the
holder of a related Agency Security in accordance with the guidelines for the program pursuant to
which such Agency Securities were issued.
(e) Each Agency Security Distribution receivable with respect to an Agency Security, unless
actually received earlier, shall be assumed to be received (i) in the case of a Xxxxxx Mae I Agency
Security, on the ___day of the month, and (ii) in the case of a Xxxxxx Xxx XX Agency Security,
on the ___day of the month. Each such Agency Security Distribution shall be assumed to be
immediately deposited in the Collection Account and reinvested on the next succeeding Business Day
at the applicable Assumed Reinvestment Rate. All principal of and interest on investments held in
a Trust Account shall be assumed to be received on the date due and immediately deposited in such
Trust Account and reinvested on the next succeeding Business Day at the applicable Assumed
Reinvestment Rate. All funds assumed to be reinvested at the applicable Assumed Reinvestment Rate
shall be assumed to remain so invested until the Business Day next preceding the Principal
Reduction Date or Interest Distribution Date on which they are required to be available in the
Collection Account for application, in accordance with the terms hereof, to distributions of
principal of or interest on the Certificates.
[(f) For any Agency Security having an Agency Security Rate in excess of the Highest
Certificate Interest Rate, for purposes of calculating the amount of Spread resulting from any
future Agency Security Distribution on such Agency Security it shall be assumed, solely for the
purpose of making the calculations described in Section 2.02(b) and Article VIII, that in addition
to the servicing fee and guaranty fee, if any, actually payable with respect to the underlying
mortgage loans, or assumed to be payable with respect thereto as provided in subsection (c), such
20
underlying mortgage loans are subject to an additional servicing fee equal, on an annual
basis, to the difference between
(i) the Agency Security Rate for such Agency Security, and
(ii) the Highest Certificate Interest Rate.]

and delivered by the Depositor, is the valid, legal and binding obligation of the Depositor,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency
and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and to general
principles of equity (regardless whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law); and
(3) the issue and sale of the Certificates and the fulfillment of the terms of this
Agreement do not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any term or provision
of, or constitute a default under, the certificate of formation or limited liability company
agreement] of the Depositor, or any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the
Depositor is a party or by which it is bound, or any state or Federal statute or regulation
applicable to the Depositor or any order of any state or Federal court, regulatory body,
administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Depositor.
(b) In connection with the foregoing Conveyance, the creation of the Trust Fund and the
issuance of the Certificates, the Depositor hereby delivers to and/or deposits with the Trustee and
the Securities Administrator the following documents, instruments and property:
(1) Independent Accountants’ Letter. A letter addressed to the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator from a firm of Independent Accountants of recognized national
reputation stating that:
(A) they have performed the following procedures (which did not constitute an
examination in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards):
(B) they have read the Schedule of Agency Securities attached hereto as
Schedule A, examined each Agency Security listed thereon, and compared the pool
number, original principal amount, maturity date and Agency Security Rate set forth
in each such Agency Security to the corresponding item in such Schedule of Agency
Securities; provided, however, that in the case of an Agency Security
24
that is issued in book-entry form, they have examined the confirmation form
provided by the Person on whose books ownership records are being maintained
pursuant to subclauses (ii) or (iii) of paragraph (c) below to obtain the foregoing
information which they compared to the corresponding items in such Schedule of
Agency Securities;
(C) they computed the principal balance of each Agency Security as of the date
as of which such balances are set forth in such Schedule of Agency Securities, using
a pool balance and factor reference source (specified in such letter) for each
Agency Security;
(D) they compared the principal balance computed by them for each such Agency
Security as described in paragraph (B) above to the principal balance thereof shown
on such Schedule of Agency Securities;
(E) using the formula and methodology specified in the definition of “Cash Flow
Value” herein they calculated the aggregate of the Cash Flow Values for all of the
Cash Flow Value Groups and compared the total of the Cash Flow Values for such Cash
Flow Value Groups calculated by the Depositor to the aggregate of the Cash Flow
Values calculated by them for such Cash Flow Value Groups and compared the aggregate
Cash Flow Values calculated by them to the aggregate initial principal balance of
the Regular Certificates;
(F) in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.02, they computed the amount
of cash that will be deposited in the Collection Account during each Due Period (or
on or prior to the Distribution Date immediately following the end of each such Due
Period) as a result of the Agency Security Distributions due and payable on such
Agency Securities during each such Due Period [and in the case of the first Due
Period as a result of an initial deposit into the Collection Account pursuant to
paragraph (d) below];
(G) in accordance with Section 1.02, they computed the income that can be
earned and deposited in the Collection Account in each Due Period through the
reinvestment of the amounts described in paragraph (E) above;
(H) [they computed the Requisite Amount of the Reserve, and the amounts
required to be deposited by the Depositor on the Closing Date in the Expense Reserve
Account in respect thereof;]
(I) [on the assumption that the aggregate of the amounts computed by them
pursuant to paragraphs (E) and (F) above is the aggregate of the amounts of Agency
Security Distributions, reinvestment income and other amounts, if any, that will
actually be deposited in the Collection Account in each Due Period and that such
amounts are applied in accordance with the terms hereof, to distributions of
principal of and interest on the Regular Certificates, they computed the amounts of
the distributions of principal of and interest on such Regular Certificates that
would be payable on each Distribution Date for such Certificates
25
under the Maximum Rate Assumption (such calculations may be based upon the
assumption that special distributions are made on any one or more Special
Distribution Dates);] and
(J) based upon the above-specified procedures, such firm has determined that:
(1) the information set forth on the Schedule of Agency Securities
which was read by them as described in clauses (i)(A) through (C) above
accurately reflects the terms of each Agency Security listed thereon;
(2) the aggregate of the Cash Flow Values for all of the Cash Flow
Value Groups calculated by the Depositor does not exceed the aggregate of
the Cash Flow Values for all of the Cash Flow Value Groups calculated by
them and the aggregate of the Cash Flow Values calculated by them for all
such Cash Flow Value Groups is not less than the aggregate initial principal
balance of the Regular Certificates;
(3) the calculations by or on behalf of the Depositor of the aggregate
of the amounts described in clauses (i)(E) and (i)(F) above and of each
amount described in clauses (i)(G) and (i)(H) above agree with the results
of their calculations of such amounts and are mathematically correct;
(4) for each Due Period, the aggregate of the amounts described in
clauses (i)(E) and (i)(F) above as calculated by the Depositor and as
computed by them exceeds the aggregate amount of distributions of principal
of and interest on the Regular Certificates required to be made under the
Maximum Rate Assumption on the following Distribution Date (and, if
applicable, on each Special Distribution Date within such Due Period) as set
forth in the Depositor’s calculations of the amounts described in clause
(i)(H) above and in their calculations of such amounts; and
(5) the calculations by or on behalf of the Depositor of the amounts
described in clause (i)(H) above indicate that the aggregate amount of
principal of each Class of Regular Certificate distributable on each
Principal Distribution Date (and, if applicable, on any Special Distribution
Date) is an amount sufficient to retire the entire principal balance of each
such Class on or before its Final Distribution Date and to provide for the
distribution of an installment of principal of each such Class on or before
its Initial Principal Distribution Date.
(2) [Initial Collection Account Deposit. Cash in an amount equal to $
to be deposited in the Collection Account as part of the Trust Fund and applied in
accordance with Sections 4.01 and 5.02; such deposit may be in the form of an official bank
check or certified check payable in next day’s funds.]
26
(3) [Expense Reserve Account Deposit. To the extent specified in Schedule B
hereto, instruments representing ownership interests in principal or interest payments on
United States Treasury securities, for deposit into the Expense Reserve Account pursuant to
Section 4.02, in such amounts and due on such dates as are specified in Schedule B hereto,
or confirmations of the purchase thereof and cash sufficient to pay the purchase price
therefor set forth in such confirmations, as provided in Section 4.02.]
(4) Officers’ Certificate. An Officers’ Certificate stating that:
(A) the Depositor was, immediately prior to the Conveyance thereof to the
Trustee, the owner of each Agency Security Conveyed to the Trustee; the Depositor
has not assigned any interest or participation in any such Agency Security (or, if
any such interest or participation has been assigned, it has been released); and the
Depositor has full right to Convey each such Certificate to the Trustee;
(B) the Depositor has Conveyed to the Trustee all of its right, title and
interest in and to each such Agency Security ;
(C) each Agency Security listed on Schedule A is a Xxxxxx Xxx Agency Security;
and
(D) attached to such Officers’ Certificate [are] [is a] true and correct
[copies] [copy] of [a] letter[s] signed by [Standard & Poor’s Corporation] [and]
[Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc.] confirming that no Class of Certificates has been
rated lower than [AAA] [and] [Aaa] [, respectively].

(d) The form of the reverse of all Fixed Rate Certificates is as follows:
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Series [ ]
(herein collectively called the “Regular Certificates”), issued in Classes (Classes
___, ___, ___and ___) under the Agreement.
The aggregate amount of each installment of principal distributable on the Regular
Certificates on each Principal Distribution Date is equal to the lesser of (i) funds remaining in
the Collection Account on such Distribution Date after the subtraction of an amount equal to the
amount distributable as interest on the Regular Certificates on such Distribution Date and (ii) the
sum of:
(1) the Accrual Distribution Amount, if any, for such Principal Distribution Date;
35
(2) the Principal Distribution Amount, if any, for such Principal Distribution Date; and
(3) the Spread Distribution Amount, if any, for such Principal Distribution Date.
The aggregate amount of principal distributable on the Regular Certificates on each Principal
Distribution Date as described above is distributable [pro rata among the Certificates of all
Classes.] [___% to the Certificates of Class ___and ___% to the Certificates of Classes___
and ___(the “Sequential Payment Certificates”). The amount distributable on the Sequential
Payment Certificates on any Principal Distribution Date is distributable] [first on the
Certificates of Class ___, until the entire principal balance of such Class Certificates has
been retired. On the Principal Distribution Date on which the entire principal balance of Class
___Certificates has been retired, any remaining amounts required to be distributed on such
Principal Distribution Date as principal of the [Sequential Payment] [Regular] Certificates shall
be distributed on the Class ___Certificates. Thereafter, all amounts required to be distributed
on each Principal Payment Date as principal of the [Sequential Payment] [Regular] Certificates
shall continue to be distributed as principal of the Class ___Certificates until the entire
principal balance thereof has been retired. Distributions of principal of the remaining Classes of
[Sequential Payment] [Regular] Certificates shall be made in a similar manner, with the required
principal distribution on each Principal Distribution Date always being applied first to the
reduction of the principal balance of the then Outstanding Class of the [Sequential Payment]
[Regular] Certificates having the earliest Final Distribution Date of all [Sequential Payment]
[Regular] Certificates then Outstanding.] Distributions of principal of a Class of Regular
Certificates shall in all cases be made pro rata among all Outstanding Certificates of such Class,
without preference or priority of any kind.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agreement provides that a Deficiency Event thereunder will
occur if (i) there are insufficient amounts in the Collection Account on any Distribution Date to
distribute to Holders of Regular Certificates all interest at the time accrued and distributable
thereon and amounts of principal equal to the sum of sub-clauses (1) through (3) of clause (ii)
above, (ii) the entire unpaid principal balance of each Class of Regular Certificates shall not
have been completely distributed on or before the Final Distribution Date for such Class or (iii)
with respect to each Class of Regular Certificates that is still Outstanding on its Initial
Principal Distribution Date, an installment of principal shall not have been distributed by such
Initial Principal Distribution Date.
Distribution of the then remaining undistributed principal balance of this Certificate on its
Final Distribution Date or on such earlier date as payments received with respect to the assets
included in the Trust Fund are required to be distributed in payment of the then remaining unpaid
principal balance of this Certificate, or payment of the Termination Price payable on the
Termination Date, shall be made only upon presentation of this Certificate to the office or agency
of the Securities Administrator maintained for such purpose. Interest distributable on this
Certificate on each Interest Distribution Date, together with any installment of principal of this
Certificate on each Interest Distribution Date that is also a Principal Distribution Date for this
Certificate, and any special distributions required to be made on this Certificate on any Special
Distribution Date to the extent not in full payment of this Certificate, shall be made by check
36
mailed to the Person whose name appears as the registered Holder of this Certificate (or one
or more Predecessor Certificates) on the Certificate Register as of the Record Date preceding such
Interest Distribution Date or such Special Distribution Date.
Checks for amounts that include distributions of principal of this Certificate shall be mailed
to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Certificate
Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Certificate be submitted for
notation of payment and checks returned undelivered will be held for payment to the Person entitled
thereto, subject to the terms of the Agreement, at the office or agency in the United States of
America designated for such purpose pursuant to the Agreement. Any reduction in the principal
balance of this Certificate (or any one or more Predecessor Certificates) effected by any
distributions made on any Principal Distribution Date, Special Distribution Date or Deficiency
Distribution Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate
issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether
or not noted hereon.
If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Agreement, to make a distribution in
full of the then remaining unpaid principal balance of this Certificate on a Principal Distribution
Date or Special Distribution Date that is prior to the Final Distribution Date, then the Securities
Administrator will notify the Person who was the registered Holder hereof on the [ ] day of the
month [prior to the month] in which such Principal Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date
occurs, by notice mailed no later than the ___day of such month, and the amount then
distributable shall, if sufficient funds therefor are available, be distributable only upon
presentation of this Certificate to the office or agency maintained for such purpose.
Any portion of any installment of principal or interest that was distributable but was not
distributed or duly provided for on a Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Person who was the registered Holder of this Certificate on
the applicable Record Date, and shall be distributed, in whole or in part, to the extent funds are
available for such payment, on each Deficiency Distribution Date thereafter until all such overdue
amounts are paid or duly provided for, to the Person in whose name this Certificate (or one or more
Predecessor Certificates) is registered on the Record Date applicable to each such Deficiency
Distribution Date or at any other-time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which the Certificates may be listed, and upon such
notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Agreement.
If a Deficiency Event as defined in the Agreement and as described above shall occur and be
continuing, the Agreement provides that, to the extent distributions are being made as described in
the penultimate sentence of this paragraph, the Holders of Regular Certificates aggregating not
less than 50% of the Aggregate Current Principal Amount may direct the Trustee to sell the Trust
Fund in the manner and subject to the conditions described in the Agreement. In such event, the net
proceeds of such sale would be distributed as a final distribution on the Regular Certificates and
Holders thereof may receive less than, but in no event more than, the unpaid principal balance
thereof and unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date (one month prior
37
to the date] of such final distribution. The Agreement also provides that, notwithstanding the
occurrence of a Deficiency Event, under certain circumstances specified in the Agreement, all
amounts collected as proceeds of the Trust Fund or otherwise shall continue to be applied to
monthly distributions of principal of and interest on the Regular Certificates in the same order of
priority as if such Deficiency Event had not occurred. In all other circumstances, following the
occurrence of a Deficiency Event, all amounts collected as proceeds of the Trust Fund or otherwise
shall be distributed monthly pro rata among all Regular Certificates, without preference or
priority, first as distributions of interest and then as distributions with respect to principal.
In such event, interest on the then unpaid principal balance of this Certificate shall accrue at
the Highest Certificate Interest Rate.
As provided in the Agreement and only under special circumstances specified therein, the
principal of the Regular Certificates is subject to retirement pursuant to special distributions at
100% of the principal balance thereof to be so retired by such special distribution (including
interest accrued but not distributed on a Class of Accrual Certificates and added to the principal
thereof) together with accrued and undistributed interest on such principal balance to be so
retired from the end of the preceding Interest Accrual Period (or the Accrual Date if no Interest
Distribution Date has yet occurred) to the date [one month prior to the date] of such special
distribution. Any such special distribution with respect to the Regular Certificates will be made
on the applicable Special Distribution Date and in the manner hereinabove set forth. As provided in
the Agreement, all special distributions will be in the same proportions and on the same priorities
as hereinabove set forth for distributions of principal on .a Principal Distribution Date. If
provision is made for a special distribution of principal of this Certificate in accordance with
the Agreement, the portion of the principal balance of this Certificate retired in such special
distribution shall thereupon cease to accrue interest from and after the date [one month prior to
the date] set for such distribution.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate
upon distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and
required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement following the later of (i) the
maturity or other liquidation of the last Agency MBS subject thereto, and (ii) the repurchase by
the Depositor from the Trust Fund of all remaining Agency MBSs. The Agreement permits, but does not
require, the Depositor to repurchase all remaining Agency MBSs at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates, but the
Depositor’s right to repurchase such remaining Agency MBSs may not be exercised prior to (a) the
time that the Aggregate Agency MBS Principal Balance is less than ___% of the Aggregate Agency
MBS Principal Balance at the Closing Date or (b) [date]. In the event of such a repurchase and
termination, the amount distributable to the Holder of a Regular Certificate will be of the
principal balance thereof together with accrued interest to [the date one month prior to] the
Distribution Date on which the proceeds of such repurchase are required to be distributed.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
transfer of this Certificate may be registered on the Certificate Register, upon surrender of this
Certificate for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated for that purpose
pursuant to the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
form
38
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Regular Certificates of the same Class,
of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate initial principal balance, will be issued to
the designated transferee or transferees.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Certificate, the Trustee,
the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered (i) on any Record Date, for purposes of making
distributions, and (ii) on any other date for any other purpose, as the owner hereof, whether or
not any distribution required to be made on this Certificate shall be overdue, and neither the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the Depositor and the rights of
the Holders of the Certificates under the Agreement at any time by the Trustee with the consent of
the Holders of Certificates of each Class, voting as a Class, evidencing, as to Regular
Certificates, Current Principal Amounts aggregating not less than [66%] of the Aggregate Current
Principal Amount of such Class and, as to Residual Certificates, Percentage Interests aggregating
not less than [66%]. Any such consent by the Holder, at the time of the giving thereof, of this
Certificate (or any one or more Predecessor Certificates) shall be conclusive and binding upon such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of
such consent or waiver is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment or
waiver of certain terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement without the consent of Holders of
any Certificates issued thereunder.
The Regular Certificates are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in
the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. The Regular Certificates are
exchangeable for a like aggregate initial principal amount of Regular Certificates of the same
Class of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering same.
The Securities Administrator has executed this Certificate solely as securities administrator
under the Agreement and the Securities Administrator shall be liable hereunder only in respect of
the assets of the Trust Fund created by such Agreement.
The remedies of the Holder hereof as provided herein, or in the Agreement, shall be cumulative
and concurrent but may be pursued solely against the assets of the Trust Fund. No failure on the
part of the Holder in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as waiver or release
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy hereunder.

As provided in the Agreement, this Certificate and the Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of
New York applicable to agreements made

(e) The form of the reverse of a Floating Rate Certificate is as follows:
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Series [ ]

The Class ___, Class ___and Class ___ Regular Certificates will accrue interest at the

During the initial Interest Accrual Period the Class [ ] Regular Certificates will accrue

reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a security in global form to reflect the amount,
or any increase or decrease in the amount, of outstanding securities represented thereby shall be
made by the Securities Administrator and in such manner as shall be specified in such security.
Any instructions by the company with respect to a security in global form, after its initial
issuance, shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 102.
(j) Global securities may be issued in either registered or bearer form and in either
temporary or permanent form. Permanent global securities will be issued in definitive form. Each
such global security shall bear a legend on the face of such Certificate substantially as follows:

Accrual Certificates which represents interest accrued thereon and added to the original principal
balance thereof), except for Certificates authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer
of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Certificates pursuant to Sections 3.05, 3.07, 3.08 or

1/ |

The Class ___ Certificates shall be Floating Rate Certificates.
|
|
2/ |
|
The Class ___ Certificates shall be Accrual Certificates. |
During the initial Interest Accrual Period (applicable to the Interest Distribution Date
falling on
), the Class ___ Certificates will accrue interest at the rate of ___%
per annum. During each subsequent Interest Accrual Period, the Class
___ Certificates will accrue
interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate and ___% Subject to a maximum rate
of ___% per annum.
44
On each Interest Determination Date until all the Floating Rate Certificates are retired, the
Securities Administrator shall determine the Base Rate and the resulting Certificate Interest Rate
to be applicable to the Floating Rate Certificates for the related Interest Accrual Period.
(b) Promptly after its determination thereof on each Interest Determination Date, the
Securities Administrator will advise the Depositor of the Certificate Interest Rate applicable to
the Floating Rate Certificates for the related Interest Accrual Period [and will use its best
efforts to cause such Certificate Interest Rate to be published in a newspaper of general
circulation in
New York City].
The establishment of the Base Rate by the Securities Administrator and the Securities
Administrator’s subsequent calculation of the Certificate Interest Rate applicable to the Floating
Rate Certificates for each Interest Accrual Period shall (in the absence of manifest error) be
final, conclusive and binding upon the Certificateholders, the Depositor and any of their
respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or
assigns. The principal of each Regular Certificate shall be distributable in installments
beginning no later than the Initial Principal Distribution Date therefor and ending no later than
the Final Distribution Date therefor unless the unpaid principal balance of such Certificate
becomes distributable at an earlier date by reason of the occurrence of a Deficiency Event or
termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Article XIII or otherwise.
(c) The aggregate amount of each installment of principal distributable on the Regular
Certificates on each Principal Distribution Date is equal to the lesser of (i) funds remaining in
the Collection Account on such Distribution Date after the subtraction of an amount equal to the
amount distributable as interest on the Regular Certificates on such Distribution Date and (ii) the
sum of:
(1) the Accrual Distribution Amount, if any, for such Principal Distribution Date;
(2) the Principal Distribution Amount, if any, for such Principal Distribution Date;
and
(3) the Spread Distribution Amount, if any, for such Principal Distribution Date.
The aggregate amount of principal distributable on the Regular Certificates on each Principal
Distribution Date as described above is distributable [pro rata among the Certificates of all
Classes.] [___% to the Certificates of Class ___and ___% to the Certificates of Classes ___, ___
and ___(the “Sequential Payment Certificates”). The amount distributable on the Sequential
Payment Certificates on any Principal Distribution Date is distributable] [first on the
Certificates of Class ___, until the entire principal balance of such Class ___Certificates has
been retired. On the Principal Distribution Date on which the entire principal balance of Class
___Certificates has been retired, any remaining amounts required to be distributed on such
Principal Distribution Date as principal of the [Sequential Payment] [Regular] Certificates shall
be distributed on the Class ___Certificates. Thereafter, all amounts required to be distributed
on each Principal Payment Date as principal of the [Sequential Payment] [Regular] Certificates
shall
45
continue
to be distributed as principal of the Class Certificates until the entire
principal balance thereof has been retired. Distributions of principal of the remaining Classes of
[Sequential Payment] [Regular] Certificates shall be made in a similar manner, with the required
principal distribution on each Principal Distribution Date always being applied first to the
reduction of the principal balance of the then Outstanding Class of the [Sequential Payment]
[Regular] Certificates having the earliest Final Distribution Date of all [Sequential Payment]
[Regular] Certificates then Outstanding.] Distributions of principal of a Class of Regular
Certificates shall in all cases be made pro rata among all Outstanding Certificates of such Class,
without preference or priority of any kind.
(d) Subject to the right of a Holder of a Class of Regular Certificates to receive interest on
such Certificate in accordance with its terms and to receive a distribution of the entire principal
balance of such Certificate on or before its Final Distribution Date and to receive a distribution
of principal of such Certificate no later than its Initial Distribution Date, the aggregate amount
of principal of and interest on the Regular Certificates distributable on each Distribution Date
shall be equal to the Aggregate Regular Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date. All
distributions made with respect to any Regular Certificate shall be applied first to the interest
then distributable on such Certificate and then to the reduction of the principal balance thereof.
All computations of interest accrued on any Regular Certificate shall be made as if each year
consisted of twelve months of thirty days each.
Interest accrued on a Regular Certificate of any Class in any Interest Accrual Period shall be
calculated on the assumption that any distribution of principal made with respect to such
Certificate and, in the case of any Accrual Certificate, any accrued interest added to the
outstanding principal balance thereof, in each case on a Distribution Date that occurs during such
Interest Accrual Period was instead made and/or added one month prior to such Distribution Date.]
[Interest on the outstanding principal balance of each Outstanding Regular Certificate (other
than interest on Accrual Certificates, which shall be distributable as described below) shall be
distributable on each Interest Distribution Date at the Certificate Interest Rate applicable to
such Certificate for the period from the Accrual Date, or such later date to which interest has
been distributed, to [the date one month prior to] such Interest Distribution Date.
Interest at the applicable Certificate Interest Rate shall accrue on the Current Principal
Amount of each Outstanding Accrual Certificate from the Accrual Date, but none of such accrued
interest shall be distributable until the Initial Interest distribution Date for such Accrual
Certificate (or the first Interest Distribution Date thereafter if the Aggregate Regular
Certificate distribution Amount for such Initial Interest Distribution Date is exactly equal to the
aggregate amount of principal of and interest on all other Classes of Regular Certificates that is
distributable on such Initial Interest Distribution Date). On each Interest Distribution Date
prior to the Initial Interest Distribution Date for an Accrual Certificate, interest that has
accrued (determined as described above) on such Certificate during the preceding Interest Accrual
Period shall be added to the Current Principal Amount of such Certificate and shall thereafter
accrue interest from [the date one month prior to] such Interest Distribution Date. On the Initial
Interest Distribution Date for a Class of Certificates, interest accrued on such Class of Accrual
Certificates during the preceding Interest Accrual Period shall be payable in an amount equal to
46
the lesser of (a) the difference between (i) the Aggregate Regular Certificate Distribution
Amount for such Initial Interest Distribution Date and (ii) the aggregate amount of principal of
and interest on all other Regular Certificates required to be distributed on such date, and (b) the
amount of interest so accrued on such Class of Accrual Certificates. The portion, if any, of such
interest that is not distributed on such initial Interest Distribution Date shall be added to the
principal of such Class of Accrual Certificates on such Initial Interest Distribution Date and
shall thereafter accrue interest in the manner set forth above.]
[If the Initial Interest Distribution Date for a Class of Accrual Certificates occurs on or
before the first Interest Distribution Date occurring after the end of the Shortfall Period for the
GPM Agency Securities included in the Trust Fund, then, for each Interest Distribution Date
thereafter until the second Interest Distribution Date after the end of the Shortfall Period for
such GPM Agency Securities, the amount of interest distributable on each Class of Accrual
Certificates on each Interest Distribution Date shall be the lesser of (a) the Aggregate Regular
Certificate Distribution Amount for such Interest Distribution Date less all distributions of
interest, if any, required to be made on such Interest Distribution Date on all other Classes of
Regular Certificates then Outstanding, and (b) the actual amount of interest accrued on such Class
of Accrual Certificates during the immediately preceding Interest Accrual Period. The excess, if
any, of (a) the amount of interest so accrued on each Class of Accrual Certificates during the
immediately preceding Interest Accrual Period over (b) the amount of interest then distributable on
such Class of Accrual Certificates shall be added to the outstanding principal of such Class of
Accrual Certificates on such Interest Distribution Date and shall thereafter accrue interest in the
manner set forth above.]
(e) Residual Certificates authenticated and delivered under this Agreement shall evidence
Percentage Interests aggregating 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Residual, except for
Residual Certificates authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange
for, or in lieu of, other Residual Certificates pursuant to Section 3.05, 3.07, 3.08 or 13.05 of
this Agreement. Any distributions on the Residual Certificates shall be made on each Distribution
Date in an aggregate amount equal to the related Residual Certificate Distribution Amount, with the
Holder of any particular Residual Certificate being entitled to receive an amount equal to the
product of (a) such Residual Certificate Distribution Amount and (b) the Percentage Interest
evidenced by such Certificate.
(f) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions with respect to distributions of principal
of and interest on the Certificates, if a Deficiency Event shall have occurred, then distributions
of principal of and interest on the Certificates subsequent to the Distribution Date upon which
such Deficiency Event first occurred shall be made in accordance with Article VIII.
(g) Each Certificate shall bear upon the face thereof the designation so selected for the
Class to which it belongs. All Certificates of the same Class shall be identical in all respects
except for the denominations thereof (or Percentage Interests in the Residual represented thereby)
and dates thereof. All Regular Certificates of all Classes at any time Outstanding shall be
identical except for differences among the Certificates of the different Classes in Certificate
Interest Rates, Initial Principal Distribution Dates and Final Distribution Dates and except for
differences herein provided for in the forms of Regular Certificates. All Certificates issued
under this Agreement shall be in all respects equally and ratably entitled to the benefits hereof
47
without preference, priority or distinction (except as provided herein with respect to the
order of distributions with respect to Regular Certificates of different Classes and the
subordination in right of payment of the Residual Certificates to the Regular Certificates) on
account of the actual time or times of authentication and delivery, all in accordance with the
terms and provisions of this Agreement.
The Regular Certificates shall be issuable only in denominations equal to an Individual
Certificate and integral multiples thereof (in each case expressed in terms of the principal
balances thereof on the Closing Date). The Residual Certificates shall be issuable only as
registered Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests in the Residual equal to the interest
represented by an Individual Certificate or an integral multiple thereof.
SECTION 3.04. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.
The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Securities Administrator by one of the
authorized officers of the Securities Administrator under its corporate seal, which may be in
facsimile form and be imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon [and attested by one of the
authorized officers of the Securities Administrator]. The signature of any officer of the
Securities Administrator on the Certificates may be manual or facsimile.
Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time the
proper officers of the Securities Administrator shall bind the Securities Administrator,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Certificates.
Each Certificate authenticated and delivered by the Certificate Registrar to or upon the order
of the Depositor on the Closing Date shall be dated as of the Closing Date. All other Certificates
that are authenticated after the Closing Date for any other purpose under this Agreement shall be
dated the date of their authentication.
No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid or obligatory
for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Certificate Registrar by the manual
signature of one of its authorized officers or employees, and such certificate upon any Certificate
shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder.
SECTION 3.05. Temporary Certificates.
Pending the preparation of definitive Certificates, the Securities Administrator may execute
and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Certificates that are
printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized
denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Certificates in lieu of which they may
be so issued and with such variations as the officers executing such Certificates may determine, as
evidenced by their execution of such Certificates.
48
If temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause definitive Certificates to be
prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Certificates, the
temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the
temporary Certificates at the office or agency to be maintained as provided in Section 3.06,
without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary
Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver and exchange therefor a like principal balance or fractional undivided
interest of definitive Certificates of the same Class and of authorized denominations or Percentage
Interests. Until so exchanged, the temporary Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the
same benefits under this Agreement as definitive Certificates of the same Class.
SECTION 3.06. Maintenance of Office or Agency.
[(a) The Trustee will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of
New York, the State of
New York, an office or agency where Certificates may be presented or surrendered for payment or may
be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon
the Trustee in respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be served. The Trustee will give
prompt written notice to the Depositor of the location and any change in the location, of such
office or agency. Until written notice of any change in the location of such office or agency is
delivered to the Depositor, Certificates may be so presented or surrendered, and such notices and
demands may be made or served, at the office of the Securities Administrator in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City of
New York, the State of New York, and the Trustee hereby appoints the
Securities Administrator as its agent in the City of New York for the foregoing purposes.
[The Trustee may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or
outside the City of New York) where the Certificates may be presented or surrendered for any or all
such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such
designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Trustee of its obligation to maintain an
office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, the State of New York, for the
purposes set forth in the preceding paragraph. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to the
Depositor of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other
office or agency.]
[(b)] The Securities Administrator will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New
York, the State of New York, an office or agency where Certificates may be presented or surrendered
for payment or may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and
demands to or upon the Securities Administrator in respect of the Certificates and this Agreement
may be served. The Securities Administrator will give prompt written notice to the Depositor of
the location and any change in the location, of such office or agency.
The Securities Administrator may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or
agencies (in or outside the City of New York) where the Certificates may be presented or
surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations;
provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the
Securities Administrator of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City of New York, the State of New York, for the purposes set forth in the
49
preceding paragraph. The Securities Administrator will give prompt written notice to the
Depositor of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other
office or agency.
SECTION 3.07. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.
(a) The Securities Administrator shall cause to be kept a register (the “Certificate
Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Securities
Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates and the registration of transfers
and exchanges of Certificates. The Securities Administrator is hereby initially appointed
“Certificate Registrar” for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers of Certificates
as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Certificate Registrar appointed by the Securities
Administrator, the Securities Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor or, in the absence
of such appointment, shall assume the duties of Certificate Registrar. At any time when the
Securities Administrator is not acting as Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator shall
have the right to rely conclusively upon a certificate of the Certificate Registrar as to the names
and addresses of the Holders of the Certificates and the principal amounts (or fractional undivided
interests) and numbers of such Certificates so held.
(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate at the office
or agency to be maintained as provided in Section 3.06, the Securities Administrator shall execute,
and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of any authorized denominations (or
Percentage Interests) and of a like aggregate initial principal balance (or Percentage Interest)
and Class, subject, however, in the case of Residual Certificates, to compliance with the
conditions to transfer set forth below. At the option of the Holder, Certificates may be exchanged
for other Certificates of any authorized denominations (or Percentage Interests) of a like
aggregate initial principal balance (or Percentage Interest) and Class, upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator shall execute, and the Certificate Registrar
shall authenticate and deliver, the Certificates that the Certificateholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive. All Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
Certificates shall evidence the same interest in the Trust Fund, and be entitled to the same
benefits under this Agreement, as the Certificates surrendered upon such registration of transfer
or exchange. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory
to the Certificate Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized
in writing.
(c) No transfer of a Residual Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state
securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act and laws. In the event that such a transfer
is to be made within [ ] years from the Closing Date (i) the Securities Administrator or the
Depositor may require an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to
the Securities Administrator and the Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an
exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is
being made pursuant to said Act and laws, which Opinion of Counsel
50
shall not be an expense of the Securities Administrator or the Depositor, and (ii) the
Securities Administrator shall require the transferee to execute an investment letter acceptable to
and in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator certifying
to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator the facts surrounding such transfer, which
investment letter shall not be an expense of the Securities Administrator or the Depositor. The
Holder of a Residual Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and by the acceptance of
such Certificate does hereby agree to, indemnify the Securities Administrator and the Depositor
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance
with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of a Residual Certificate shall be made unless the Securities Administrator shall
have received either (i) a representation letter from the transferee of such Certificate,
acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator and the
Depositor, to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan subject to Section
406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), nor a person
acting on behalf of any such plan, which representation letter shall not be an expense of the
Securities Administrator or the Depositor, or (ii) in the case of any such Residual Certificate
presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, and Section
4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such
plan, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor to the
effect that the purchase or holding of such Residual Certificate will not result in the assets of
the Trust Fund being deemed to be “plan assets” and subject to the prohibited transaction
provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the Trustee or the Depositor to any
obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be
an expense of the Securities Administrator or the Depositor.
(d) Each Person who has or who acquires any Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the
acceptance or acquisition of such Residual Certificate to have agreed to be bound by the following
provisions, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Residual Certificate are expressly subject
to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Residual Certificates shall be a Permitted
Transferee and shall promptly notify the Depositor of any change or impending change in its
status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No residual Certificate may be transferred without the express written consent of
the Depositor. In connection with any proposed transfer of any Residual Certificate the
Depositor may, as a condition to such consent, in its sole discretion, require delivery to
it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of any or all of the following:
(A) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the proposed transferee is a
Permitted Transferee;
(B) a certification by the proposed transferee that such transferee is a
Permitted Transferee and that it is not acquiring its Residual Certificate as a
nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee; and
51
(C) an agreement by the proposed transferee to indemnify the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any other Certificateholder from and
against any cost, liability, claim or expense, including any tax incurred as a
result of the proposed transfer or any subsequent transfer or proposed transfer in
violation of this Section, and authorizing the Securities Administrator to withhold
from amounts otherwise due it on a Residual Certificate amounts due in respect of
such indemnification and to pay such amounts to the Person or Persons entitled
thereto.
(iii) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Residual Certificate in violation of
the provisions of this Section shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in
the purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual
Certificate in violation of this Section, then, upon discovery by or due notification to the
Securities Administrator that the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was
not in fact permitted by this Section, the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be
restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of transfer
of such Residual Certificate. The Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to
any Person for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not
permitted by this Section or for making any payments due on such Residual Certificates to
the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the
provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered upon the express written
consent of the Depositor. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled, but shall not be
obligated, to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a
Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate. Any such payments so
recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Securities
Administrator to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Residual Certificate,
subject to the Securities Administrator’s right to withhold any amounts from such payments
pursuant to clause (iv) below.
(iv) Each Person at any time holding a Residual Certificate by its acceptance thereof,
agrees to indemnify the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and each other
Certificateholder from and against any cost, liability, claim or expense, including any tax,
incurred as a result of any transfer or attempted or purported transfer of any residual
Certificate by or to such Person in violation of the provisions of the Section. Each such
Person also authorizes the Securities Administrator to withhold from amounts otherwise
payable to such Person on a Residual Certificate amounts due as indemnification under this
Section and to pay such amounts to the Person or Persons entitled thereto.
(e) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of
Certificates, but the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge as may be imposed in connection with
any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, other than exchanges pursuant to Section
3.08 not involving any transfer.
52
SECTION 3.08. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (1) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or the
Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any Certificate, and (2) there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity
as may be required by the Certificate Registrar to save the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee and
the Securities Administrator harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a
bona fide purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall execute and upon its
request the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any
such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate or Certificates of the
same tenor, aggregate initial principal balance (or Percentage Interest) and Class bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding; provided, however, that if the entire remaining principal
balance of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall have become or shall be
about to become distributable, or shall have become subject to retirement in full, instead of
issuing a new Certificate, the Securities Administrator may make such distribution of principal
with respect to such Certificate without surrender thereof, except that any mutilated Certificate
shall be surrendered. If, after the delivery of such new Certificate or distribution of the entire
remaining principal balance of a destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate pursuant to the proviso to
the preceding sentence, a bona fide purchaser of the original Certificate in lieu
of which such new Certificate was issued (or such distribution was made) presents for payment such
original Certificate, the Securities Administrator and the Certificate Registrar shall be entitled
to recover such new Certificate (or such distribution) from the Person to whom it was delivered or
any Person taking such new Certificate from such Person, except a bona fide
purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the
extent of any loss, damage, cost or expenses incurred by the Securities Administrator or the
Certificate Registrar in connection therewith.
Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Securities Administrator or
the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses
(including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith.
Every new Certificate issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate shall constitute an original additional interest in the Trust Fund, whether or not the
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be
entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other
Certificates of the same Class duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all
other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Certificates.
SECTION 3.09. Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, any Agent and any other agent of the Trustee,
53
the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name
any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate (a) on the applicable Record Date
for the purpose of receiving distributions on such Certificate and (b) on any other date for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any distributions on such Certificate shall be overdue,
and, except as otherwise required by applicable law, none of the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, any Agent, and any other agent of the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator, or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
SECTION 3.10. Cancellation.
All Certificates surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption
shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Certificate Registrar, be delivered to the
Certificate Registrar and shall be promptly cancelled by it. No Certificates shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Certificates cancelled as provided in this Section,
except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. All cancelled Certificates held by the
Certificate Registrar shall be held by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with its standard
retention policy, unless the Trustee shall direct that they be destroyed or returned to it.
ARTICLE IV
Trust Accounts
SECTION 4.01. Collection Account.
(a) (i) On or before the Closing Date, the Depositor shall open, at the Corporate Trust Office
of the Securities Administrator, one or more accounts that shall collectively be the “Collection
Account”. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall promptly deposit in the Collection
Account all Agency Security Distributions received by it with respect to the Agency Securities.
All Agency Security Distributions deposited from time to time in the Collection Account, all
amounts, if any, transferred from the Expense Reserve Account for deposit in the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 4.02(d) or Section 4.03(c), all other deposits therein pursuant to this
Agreement, and all investments made with such moneys, including all income or other gain from such
investments, shall be held by the Trustee and the Securities Administrator in the Collection
Account as part of the Trust Fund as herein provided, subject to withdrawal by the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator for the purposes specified in this Agreement.
(ii) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator may demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, directly and
without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all money and other
property payable to or receivable by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant to this
Agreement. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall hold all such money and property
received by it as part of the Trust Fund, and shall apply it as provided in this Agreement. If the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall not have received an Agency Security Distribution
with respect to an Agency Security on the related Agency Security Distribution Date the Securities
Administrator shall request the issuer or guarantor of such Agency Security, as appropriate, to
make such payment as promptly as practicable or legally
54
permitted, unless the Depositor shall have made provisions satisfactory to the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator for delivery to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator of an amount
equal to such Agency Security Distribution, together with a Non-Disqualification Opinion. If the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall subsequently receive any such Agency Security
Distribution, it may withdraw such request. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the
Depositor may, at its option, obtain the release from the Trust Fund of any Agency Security
Distribution not received with respect to an Agency Security on the related Agency Security
Distribution Date by depositing with the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, on or prior to
the first Distribution Date following the end of the Due Period during which such Agency Security
Distribution was due, an amount equal to such Agency Security Distribution, together with an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such deposit will not result in the imposition of tax on
“prohibited transactions” (as defined in Section 860F of the Code) or contributions to the REMIC
after the “start up day” (as defined in Section 860G of the Code). Upon such deposit, such Agency
Security Distribution shall be released from the Trust Fund and the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator shall hold any such Agency Security Distribution when received as agent for the
Depositor and shall deliver such Agency Security Distribution to the Depositor or its designee or
assignee.
(b) All or any portion of the funds in the Collection Account (to the extent they have been
collected) shall be invested and reinvested by the Securities Administrator in accordance with
directions received from the Depositor, which directions shall reflect the following priority, to
the extent that any such investment is an Eligible Investment:
First, money market funds rated AAAm or AAAm/G or better by Standard & Poor’s
Corporation, with an average portfolio maturity under 60 days and with a portfolio
consisting of (i) obligations of, or obligations guaranteed as to principal and interest by,
the United States of America, or any agency or instrumentality thereof, when such
obligations are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America and (ii)
repurchase agreements on obligations described in clause (i) so long as the money market
funds’ trustee or a third party acting solely as agent for such trustee has possession of
and a perfected first security interest in the obligations described in clause (i), to the
extent available.
Second, the highest yielding master variable rate note then currently used by the
Securities Administrator, provided that the commercial paper rating of the obligor on such
note is in the highest short-term rating category available from the Rating Agency and
provided, further, that such obligor has made to the Securities Administrator any ERISA
representations reasonably requested by the Securities Administrator, to the extent
available;
Fifth, direct obligations of, and obligations fully guaranteed by the United States of
America, to the extent available; and
Sixth, an interest bearing account of the Securities Administrator, in its commercial
banking capacity, or a common or collective trust fund maintained by the Securities
Administrator in its trust capacity.
55
(c) No such investment shall mature later than the Business Day immediately preceding the
earlier of (i) the next Distribution Date and (ii) the next Deficiency Distribution Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any investment (including repurchase agreements) on which the
Securities Administrator is the obligor may mature on a Distribution Date or Deficiency
Distribution Date if, under this Section 4.01, such investment could otherwise mature on the
Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date or Deficiency Distribution Date and no
such investment shall be sold prior to the maturity thereof except as provided in Section 4.03(c).
(d) All or any portion of the funds in the Collection Account (to the extent they have been
collected) shall be invested and reinvested by the Securities Administrator at the Depositor’s
direction in one or more Eligible Investments bearing interest or sold at discount and having the
highest yield then available, as determined by the Depositor after a reasonable survey of the
market, on Eligible Investments of comparable maturity. No such investment shall mature later than
the Business Day immediately preceding the next Principal Reduction Date (or the second succeeding
Principal Reduction Date if such investment is made on or after the Special Distribution
Determination Date for such next Principal Reduction Date) unless prior to making such investment
(A) the Securities Administrator shall have determined that, as of the
preceding Special Distribution Determination Date, the Regular Certificates would
not have been subject to a special distribution under Section 6.01 on the Special
Distribution Date following such preceding Special Distribution Determination Date
(after giving effect, on a pro forma basis, to such proposed investment and all
other investments made since such preceding Special Distribution Determination Date
and after making any adjustments required by the last paragraph of Section 6.01(c)
to the determination made on such preceding Special Distribution Determination Date)
and shall have prepared an Investment Statement with respect to such determination,
and
(B) the Depositor shall have delivered to the Securities Administrator a
Depositor Order directing the Securities Administrator to make such proposed
investment subject to the Securities Administrator’s determination pursuant to the
foregoing paragraph (A), as evidenced by its Investment Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(1) except as permitted by clause (ii) below, no investment of any amount held in the
Collection Account may mature later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next
Distribution Date,
(2) any investment (including repurchase agreements) on which the Securities
Administrator or any other Person approved in writing by each rating agency that rated the
Regular Certificates is the obligor, may mature on a Distribution Date, Special Distribution
Date or Deficiency Distribution Date if, under this Section 4.01, such investment could
otherwise mature on the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date, Special
Distribution Date or Deficiency Distribution Date, and
56
(3) if notice has been given of any special distribution that has not yet been made,
funds then in the Collection Account may be invested in investments maturing later than the
Business Day immediately preceding the next Special Distribution Date only to the extent
that after giving effect to such proposed investment the amount of funds that would be on
deposit in the Collection Account and in the Expense Reserve Account (including therein the
amount of Agency Security Distributions and proceeds of investments scheduled to be
deposited in the Collection Account or Expense Reserve Account prior to such next Special
Distribution Date) and would be available for withdrawal to make distributions on the
Regular Certificates on such next Special Distribution Date exceeds the Aggregate Special
Distribution Amount for such next Special Distribution Date.
All income or other gains from investments of moneys deposited in the Collection Account shall
be deposited by the Securities Administrator in the Collection Account immediately upon receipt,
and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the Collection Account.
SECTION 4.02. Expense Reserve Account.
(a) If and to the extent specified in Schedule B hereto, on or before the Closing Date, the
Depositor shall open, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Securities Administrator, one or more
accounts that shall collectively be the “Expense Reserve Account”. Any moneys transferred from the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.04, the deposit receipts referred to in subsection (b)
below and all moneys received as proceeds thereof, together with any Eligible Investments in which
any of such moneys are or will be invested or reinvested during the term of this Agreement, shall
be held by the Securities Administrator as part of the Trust Fund, subject to disbursement and
withdrawal as herein provided.
(b) If and to the extent specified in Schedule B hereto, on the Closing Date, the Depositor
has Conveyed to the Securities Administrator for deposit into the Expense Reserve Account
instruments representing ownership interest in principal or interest payments on United States
Treasury securities, which instruments are full faith and credit obligations of the United States.
The principal or interest payments represented by such instruments are in at least such amounts and
due on or before such Distribution Dates as are specified in Schedule B. Such instruments shall be
held in the Expense Reserve Account from the Closing Date through their respective maturity dates.
In lieu of delivering any such instruments to the Securities Administrator on the Closing Date, the
Depositor may deliver to the Securities Administrator a confirmation of the purchase thereof from
together with cash in an amount sufficient to pay the total purchase price set forth
in such confirmation, and upon the irrevocable delivery of such instruments to the Securities
Administrator the Securities Administrator shall apply such fund to the payment of the purchase
price therefor. Such instruments shall be duly and validly registered on the books and records of
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in the name of a depository, which shall have confirmed to the
Securities Administrator that it is holding such instruments for the Securities Administrator and
that they are identified on its books and records as being held for and belonging to the Securities
Administrator. If all of the instruments required to be delivered to the Securities Administrator
on the Closing Date are not so transferred, until such instruments are so delivered to the
Securities Administrator, no funds
57
shall be released for the purpose of distributions to the Holders of Residual Certificates
pursuant to Section 5.02(a).
(c) All or a portion of the cash in the Expense Reserve Account (including cash received with
respect to any instruments referred to in subsection (b) above at the respective maturities
thereof) shall be invested and reinvested at the Securities Administrator’s discretion in one or
more Eligible Investments bearing interest or sold at discount and having the highest yield then
available, as determined by the Securities Administrator after a reasonable survey of the market,
[on Eligible Investments of comparable maturity] [in the same manner as specified in Section 4.01
hereof]. No such investment shall mature later than the Business Day immediately preceding the
next Distribution Date. All income or other gains from investment of moneys deposited in the
Expense Reserve Account immediately upon receipt, and any loss resulting from such investment shall
be charged to the Expense Reserve Account.
(d) On the last Business Day prior to each Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date, the
Securities Administrator shall, to the extent that there are funds then on deposit in the Expense
Reserve Account, withdraw from the Expense Reserve Account and deposit in the Collection Account an
amount equal to the amount, if any, by which the Optimal Aggregate Regular Certificate Distribution
Amount for such Distribution Date or the aggregate of the Special Distribution Amounts for the
Regular Certificates for such Special Distribution Date exceeds the amount on deposit in the
Collection Account [on such Distribution Date].
(e) On or after each Distribution Date, to the extent that such amounts shall not have been
paid from funds withdrawn from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.04, the Securities
Administrator shall, to the extent that there are funds then on deposit in the Expense Reserve
Account, withdraw from the Expense Reserve Account, first an amount necessary to pay any Expenses
payable on such Distribution date, and, second, an amount necessary to pay or provide for payment
of any Prohibited Transactions Tax payable on such distribution date. If any Prohibited
Transactions Tax shall be payable prior to a Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator may
withdraw funds from the Expense Reserve Account on or prior to the due date therefore for the
purpose of payment thereof.
(f) Any instruments referred to in subsection (b) above shall not be sold or otherwise
converted to cash except in accordance with the proviso to Section 4.04(c).

(5) if the disposition of any investment held in the Expense Reserve Account prior to
its maturity would result in any gain to the Trust Fund (as determined by the Depositor) and
such investment has been held as part of the Trust Fund for less than three months, then,
prior to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator making any such disposition, there
shall have been delivered to the Trustee Securities Administrator, as applicable, a
Non-Disqualification Opinion, and
(6) the Depositor shall use its best efforts to avoid incurring taxes on “prohibited
transactions” as defined in Section 860F of the Code in connection with disposition of

amount of the investments in such Trust Account; provided, however, that, in the absence of such
direction from the Depositor, (i) the Securities Administrator shall use its best efforts to sell
those investments with fair market values not in excess of the sum of their respective federal
income tax bases and amounts that would be deductible as related selling expenses in computing the
Trust Fund’s net income for federal income tax purposes prior to selling any investments with fair
market values in excess of the sum of their respective federal income tax bases and amounts that
would be deductible as related selling expenses in computing the Trust Fund’s net income for
federal income tax purposes, (ii) prior to the disposition of any asset held in the Collection
Account that has a fair market value in excess of the sum of its federal income tax basis and
amounts that would be deductible as related selling expenses in computing the Trust Fund’s net
income for federal income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator shall notify the Depositor of
its intention to dispose of such investment and of the possibility that such disposition could
result in the imposition of a
59
Prohibited Transaction Tax, (iii) in connection with the disposition of any investment held in
the Expense Reserve Account, the Securities Administrator shall be subject to the requirements of
Section 4.03(b)(v), and (iv) none of the instruments, if any, described in 4.02(b) and specified in
Schedule B hereto shall be sold or otherwise converted to cash except pursuant to Section 12.01 in
connection with termination of this Agreement and the Trust Fund or Section 8.04 in connection with
a sale of the Trust Fund.
(d) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall in any way be held liable by
reason of any insufficiency in any Trust Account except for losses on investments that are
liabilities of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator.
(e) In the event that:

have been sold pursuant to Section 8.04 and the net proceeds of such sale shall have been
deposited in the Collection Account pending the final distribution to Certificateholders,
the Securities Administrator shall invest and reinvest the funds then in each Trust Account to the
fullest extent practicable, in the same instruments and priority as specified in Section 4.01(b)
hereof. All investments made pursuant to clause (i) shall mature no later than the maturity date
therefore permitted by Section 4.01(b) or 4.02(c), whichever is applicable, and all investments
made pursuant to clause (ii) above shall mature no later than the Business Day next preceding the

and timely investment directions to the Securities Administrator such that at the close of business
on not more than two Business Days in any one calendar year not more than an aggregate of $50,000
of funds in the Trust Accounts are not invested pursuant, directly or indirectly, to a Depositor
Order in Eligible Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount that mature on or after the
opening of business on the next Business Day.
(g) If any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Agency Security or Eligible
Investment`, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Agency Security or
Eligible Investment, the Securities Administrator shall, subject to Section 10.01(e), promptly take
such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution
and prosecution of appropriate Proceedings.
(h) None of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor shall knowingly engage
in a “prohibited transaction,” as defined in Section 860F of the Code, with respect to any asset in
the Trust Fund unless:

60
(A) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that no Prohibited Transactions Tax
will be payable out of the Trust Fund as a result of such prohibited transaction;
and
(B) a Non-Disqualification Opinion with respect to such prohibited transaction;
or
(2) (A) the Securities Administrator shall have determined that, after giving effect to
such prohibited transaction and the payment of any Prohibited Transactions Tax imposed on
the Trust Fund with respect thereto, the application of all future Agency Security
Distributions and other amounts receivable with respect to the Trust Fund toward
distributions on the Regular Certificates in accordance with the priorities as to
distributions of principal set forth in such Certificates and Section 3.03 and toward
payment of all Expenses will result in the distribution of all interest accrued on the
Regular Certificates under the Maximum Rate Assumption and the retirement of the entire
Aggregate Current Principal Amount of each Class of Regular Certificates by its Final
Distribution Date; and
(B) there shall have been delivered to the Securities Administrator a
Non-Disqualification Opinion with respect to such prohibited transaction.
The Securities Administrator shall obtain and rely upon an opinion or report of the firm of
Independent Accountants acting pursuant to Section 7.01 as to the sufficiency of the amounts
receivable with respect to the Trust Fund to make such distributions of principal of and interest
on the Regular Certificates, which opinion or report shall be conclusive evidence as to such
sufficiency.
(i) [Unless it shall have otherwise agreed in writing with the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator shall not be required to enter into repurchase obligations for the investment of
funds in any Trust Account with any Person whose repurchase obligations would be Eligible
Investments only if the requirements of subclause (b) of clause (iii) of the definition of the term
“Eligible Investments” were complied with in connection with such investment.]
SECTION 4.05. Reports by Securities Administrator.
In addition to any statements required to be delivered or prepared by the Securities
Administrator pursuant to Sections 5.01 and 6.01, the Securities Administrator shall deliver to the
Depositor, and the Independent Accountants appointed pursuant to Section 7.01, within two Business

Security Distribution then due or any portion thereof has not been received by the Securities
Administrator.

Determination Date to [the Rating Agency,] the Depositor and the Independent Accountants appointed
pursuant to Section 7.01 a statement (a “Distribution Date Statement’’) with respect to the
following Distribution Date setting forth:
(1) the Optimal Aggregate Regular Certificate Distribution Amount with respect to the

included therein and distributable on all Regular Certificates, (b) the Accrual Distribution
Amount, (c) the Principal Distribution Amount, and (d) the Spread Distribution Amount, if

Certificates on such Distribution Date, and the amount, if any, of accrued interest to be
added to the principal of such Class of Accrual Certificates on such Distribution Date;
(3) whether the amount expected to be available in the Collection Account on such
Distribution Date will be sufficient to distribute on such Distribution Date the Optimal
Aggregate Regular Certificate Distribution Amount specified in clause (i) above, and, if
not, the amount, if any, available to be withdrawn from the Expense Reserve Account pursuant
to Section 4.02(d) and Section 4.03(c) for deposit in the Collection Account to cure any
such projected insufficiency;
(4) if the amount expected to be available in the Collection Account on such
Distribution Date (including any amount deposited therein from the Expense Reserve Account
pursuant to Section 4.02(d) and Section 4.03(c)) is less than the Optimal Aggregate Regular
Certificate Distribution Amount specified in clause (i) above, the percentages of each such
amount that may be distributed in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section
5.02(d) from the amounts expected to be available in the Collection Account;
(5) the amounts included in such statement pursuant to sub-clauses (a) and (c) of

the Holders of Residual Certificates (expressed both in the aggregate and per Individual
Certificate) on such Distribution Date;
(10) the unpaid principal balance of Regular Certificates of each Class that will
remain after giving effect to the distributions to be made on such Distribution Date (and,
in the case of Accrual Certificates, after giving effect to the interest accrued during the
preceding Interest Accrual Period and added to the principal thereof on such Distribution
Date) expressed both on an aggregate basis and per Individual Certificate; and
(11) with respect to withholding and reporting requirements applicable to original
issue discount, if any, to the accrual of market discount, if any, or to the amortization of
premium, if any the calculations pertaining thereto; provided, however, that such
calculations shall be prepared by the Independent Accountants and delivered to the Trustee
pursuant to subsection 7.02(c) hereof.]
[If the actual amount of Agency Security Distributions received by the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator during the last month of a related Due Period differs from the expected amount of
Agency Security Distributions used by the Securities Administrator, in accordance with Section
1.02(c), in determining the Aggregate Regular Certificate Distribution Amount for a Distribution
Date, the Securities Administrator shall immediately following the end of such Due Period (i)
recompute all amounts in the related Distribution Date Statement to reflect the actual amount of
Agency Security Distributions received during the last month of such Due Period, (ii) revise such
Distribution Date Statement accordingly, and (iii) deliver such revised Distribution Date Statement
to the Depositor. Upon such delivery, such revised Distribution Date Statement shall be
controlling for all purposes under this Agreement.]
SECTION 5.02. Withdrawals from the Collection Account on a Distribution Date;
Distributions of Principal and Interest on a Distribution Date.
(a) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall withdraw from the Collection
Account the Aggregate Regular Certificate Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date and, to
the extent funds are available therefor after setting aside funds to make the withdrawals specified
in Section 5.04, the Residual Certificate Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date and shall,
from the amounts so withdrawn, make the required distributions to Certificateholders in the manner
and in the amounts specified herein and in the Certificates. Except for the final distribution
with respect to a Certificate, which shall be made as provided in subsection (c) of this Section
5.02, any distribution of interest on or principal of any Certificate
63
with respect to a Distribution Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Certificate
(or one or more Predecessor Certificates) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date
for such Distribution Date by check mailed to such Certificateholder at the address appearing in
the Certificate Register, or upon written request by the Certificateholder, by wire transfer (in
the event such Certificateholder owns of record one or more Regular Certificates which have
denominations aggregating $___ or one or more Residual Certificates evidencing Percentage
Interests aggregating ___% or more) or by such other means of payment as such Certificateholder and
the Securities Administrator shall agree.
(b) All reductions in the principal amount of a Regular Certificate (or one or more
Predecessor Certificates) effected by distributions of principal made on any Distribution Date
shall be binding upon all Holders of such Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such
distribution is noted on such Certificate. The final distribution of principal of each Certificate
(including the final distribution upon a Residual Certificate upon the termination of the Trust
Fund) shall be payable in the manner provided above only upon presentation and surrender thereof on
or after the Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date therefor at the office or agency of the
Securities Administrator maintained by it for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of
New York, State of New York, or at its principal Corporate trust Office in the City of ___,
State of ___, pursuant to Section 3.06.
(c) Whenever, on the basis of Agency Security Distributions received and expected to be
received during the related Due Period, the Securities Administrator believes that the entire
remaining unpaid principal balance of any Class of Regular Certificates will become distributable
on the next Principal Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall, no later than the
___day of the month [preceding the month] of such Principal Distribution Date (or as soon
thereafter as is practicable), mail or cause to be mailed to each Person in whose name a
Certificate to be so retired is registered at the close of business on the ___day of the month
[preceding the month] in which such Principal Distribution Date occurs and to each rating agency
which rated the Regular Certificates a notice to the effect that:
(1) it is expected that funds sufficient to make such final distribution will be
available in the Collection Account on such Principal Distribution Date, and
(2) if such funds are available, (A) such final distribution will be payable on such
Principal Distribution Date, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at
the office or agency of the Securities Administrator maintained for such purpose pursuant to
Section 3.06 (the address of which shall be set forth in such notice), and (B) no interest
shall accrue on such Certificate after [the date one month prior to] such Principal
Distribution Date.
(d) All distributions subsequent to a Deficiency Event shall be made pursuant to Article VIII
hereof. The distribution on the Distribution Date upon which any Deficiency Event first occurs
shall be in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3.03 and the forms of Regular
Certificates so that:
64
(1) amounts in the Collection Account on such Distribution Date shall be applied first
to interest on the Regular Certificates distributable on such Distribution Date (such
interest being computed on the basis of interest accrued during the prior Interest Accrual
Period at the applicable Certificate Interest Rate on the Current Principal Amount of each
such Certificate);
(2) if the amount in the Collection Account on such Distribution Date is less than the
amount of interest distributable on the Regular Certificates on such Distribution Date, such
amount shall be allocated among the Classes of Regular Certificates upon which interest is
at the time distributable in proportion to the respective amounts of interest distributable
on the Certificates of each such Class on the basis of interest at the applicable
Certificate Interest Rate on the Aggregate Current Principal Amount of such Class; and
(3) if the amount in the Collection Account on such Distribution Date is more than the
amount of interest distributable on the Regular Certificates on such Distribution Date, such
excess shall be distributable as principal on the Class or Classes of Regular Certificates
at the time entitled to receive distributions of principal.
SECTION 5.03. Reports by Securities Administrator to Certificateholders.
On each Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall
deliver a written report:
[(a) to each Holder of Regular Certificates of a Class on which a distribution of principal
and interest is then being made, setting forth the amount of such distribution that represents
principal and the amount that represents interest, and the Current Principal Amount of an
Individual Certificate of each such Class after giving effect to the distribution of principal made
on such Distribution Date;]
[(b) to each Holder of Regular Certificates of a Class on which a distribution of interest
only is then being made, setting forth the Aggregate Current Principal Amount of each Class after
giving effect to the distribution of principal made on such Distribution Date and on any Special
Distribution Date occurring subsequent to the last such report and after including in the Aggregate
Current Principal Amount of any Class of Accrual Certificate the amount of any accrued interest
added to the principal balance thereof on such Distribution Date;]
[(c) to each Holder of a Regular Certificate the amount and type of Expenses and any
Prohibited Transaction Tax incurred as of such date and the amount thereof paid since the date of
the last such report;]
[(d) to each Holder of an Accrual Certificate (but only if such Holder shall not have received
on such Distribution Date a distribution of interest equal to the entire amount of interest accrued
on such Certificate during the preceding Interest Accrual Period) setting forth
(i) the information contained in the report delivered pursuant to subsection (b) above;
65
(ii) the interest accrued on an Individual Certificate of such Class of Accrual
Certificates during the preceding Interest Accrual Period and added to the Current Principal
Amount of such Accrual Certificate, and
(iii) the Current Principal Amount of an Individual Certificate of such Class of
Accrual Certificates after giving effect to the addition thereto of all interest accrued
thereon during the preceding Interest Accrual Period; and]
[(e) to each Holder of a Residual Certificate, a report containing the information delivered
to Holders of Regular Certificates pursuant to subsections (a), (b) and (c) above and setting forth
the aggregate amount of Agency Security Distributions received and the reinvestment income earned
thereon during the preceding Due period and the applications of all such amounts, the Aggregate
Current Principal Amount of each Class of Regular Certificates Outstanding after giving effect to
the distribution then being made to Holders of Regular Certificates, the Aggregate Agency Security
Balance at the end of the immediately preceding Due period, and the amount, if any (in the
aggregate and per Individual Certificate), then being distributed to Holders of Residual
Certificates.]
SECTION 5.04. Payment of Expenses; Required Expense Reserve Account Deposit Amount.
On or after each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall withdraw from the
Collection Account, to the extent amounts shall be available after the prior withdrawal therefrom
of the Aggregate Regular Certificate Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, an amount
equal to the Expenses payable on such Distribution Date. In the event that the amount so available
for withdrawal shall be less than the total of Expenses, such amount shall be applied by the
Trustee in the following order of priority:
first, to the payment of any amounts due and payable on prior Distribution
Dates but not paid to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Independent
Accountants appointed and acting pursuant to Article VII, [and]
second, to the payment of any amounts due and payable on such Distribution Date
to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and such Independent Accountants, [and]
[third, to the payment of any amounts due and payable to the Depositor as the
Depositor’s Fee for such Distribution Date or any prior Distribution Dates.]
Any insufficiency in the amounts applicable to either of the first two categories specified above
shall be divided among the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and such Independent Accountants
in proportion to the respective amounts due and owing to each under the category as to which there
is any such insufficiency.
On or after each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall withdraw from the
collection Account to the extent amounts shall be available after the prior withdrawal therefrom of
the Aggregate Regular Certificate Distribution Amount, and after allowance for any amounts
withdrawable pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 5.04, any Required Expense Reserve
Account Deposit Amount. Any amount so withdrawn shall be promptly deposited in the Expense Reserve
Account.

If any Prohibited Transactions Tax shall be payable prior to a Distribution date, the
Securities Administrator, upon direction of the Depositor as to the amount of such tax and the
method of payment thereof, shall withdraw funds from the Collection Account prior to the due date
therefor for the purpose of payment thereof, to the extent funds are not available therefore in the
Expense Reserve Account pursuant to Section 4.02(c).
The foregoing authorization for the Securities Administrator to pay or provide for the payment
of any Prohibited Transactions Tax shall not be construed to prevent the Securities Administrator
from contesting any such tax in appropriate Proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if
permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, in the Opinion of Counsel, any Prohibited Transactions Tax
payable from the Trust fund represents a claim thereon prior to the ownership interest in the Trust
Fund of the Holders of the Regular Certificates, the Securities Administrator may pay such
Prohibited Transactions Tax prior to making any provision for distributions on the Regular
Certificates.

“Adjusted Aggregate Cash Flow Value”: With respect to any Special Distribution Determination
Date, the sum of the amounts that would be the Cash Flow Values of each of the Cash Flow Value
Groups as of the next Special Distribution Determination Date if the Agency Security Distributions
on each of the Agency Securities in each such Cash Flow Value Group in the month following the
month in which such Special Distribution Determination Date occurs are the Minimum Agency Security
Distributions and after giving effect to the receipt of such Agency Security Distributions.
“Available Cash”: With respect to the second Principal Reduction Date following any Special
Distribution Determination Date, the sum of
(1) the cash in the Collection Account on such Special Distribution Determination Date,
67
(2) the amount of the Agency Security Distributions due on the Agency Security
Distribution Due Dates in the month in which such Special Distribution Determination Date
occurs,
(3) the Minimum Agency Security Distributions due on the Agency Securities in the month
following the month in which such Special Distribution Determination Date occurs,
(4) the aggregate amount receivable as principal of, or interest on, Eligible
Investments in the Collection Account maturing subsequent to such Special Distribution
Determination Date but on or before the Business Day prior to the second Principal Reduction
Date following such Special Distribution Date,
(5) the aggregate income that could be earned on each of the amounts described in the
foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) through reinvestment thereof at the Assumed Reinvestment
Rate from (A) such Special Distribution Determination Date, in the case of cash in the

100% of the principal amount of the Regular Certificates to be so retired, together with accrued
interest thereon at the applicable Certificate Interest Rate to [a date one month prior to] such
Covered Regular Certificate Principal Reduction Date, assuming that the Future Available Cash on
each such Covered Regular Certificate Principal Reduction Date (beginning with the last such
Covered Regular Certificate Principal Reduction Date) is applied [___%] to the payment of
Outstanding [Class ___] [Regular] Certificates (including the payment of all interest accrued
thereon), pro rata among all such Certificates, [and ___% to the payment of Outstanding Sequential
Payment Certificates (including the payment of all interest accrued thereon) in the order of their
respective Certificate Interest Rates (beginning with the highest such Certificate Interest Rate),

thereof at the Assumed Reinvestment Rate from the date each such amount is receivable to the last
Business Day prior to such Covered Regular Certificate Principal Reduction Date.
“Minimum Distribution”: With respect to any Agency Security for any month following the date
of determination, the amount of the scheduled Agency Security Distributions on such Agency Security
due in such month, determined in accordance with Section 1.02.
“Non-Covered Regular Certificates”: With respect to any Special Distribution Determination
Date, the difference between the aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Regular Certificates
and the aggregate principal amount of Covered Regular Certificates.
69
Notwithstanding any reference in this Section 6.01(a) to investments maturing on or before the last
Business Day prior to a Principal Reduction Date, any amount receivable on a Principal Reduction
Date as principal of, or interest on, an Eligible Investment on which the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator or any other Person approved by each rating agency that rated the Regular
Certificates as described in Section 4.01(b) is the obligor (including any repurchase agreement on
which the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or such other Person approved by each rating agency
is liable as principal) shall be deemed to be receivable on the Business Day prior to such
Principal Reduction Date and shall be included in the Available Cash or the Future Available Cash
for such Principal Reduction Date.
(b) On each Special Distribution Determination Date, the Securities Administrator shall
determine the following:
(1) the Adjusted Aggregate Cash Flow Value;
(2) the amount specified in each clause of the definition of Available Cash;
(3) the aggregate amount of Available Cash;
(4) the Future Available Cash for each Covered Regular Certificate Principal Reduction
Date;
(5) the aggregate principal amount of Covered Regular Certificates for each Covered
Regular Certificate Principal Reduction Date;
(6) the aggregate principal amount of Non-Covered Regular Certificates; and
(7) the amount of Accrued Interest.
(c) On each such Special Distribution Determination Date, the Securities Administrator shall
also determine whether the sum of the Adjusted Aggregate Cash Flow Value and Available Cash is
greater than or equal to the sum of the Accrued Interest plus the aggregate principal amount of
Non-Covered Regular Certificates, and shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor, no later than the
first Business Day after such Special Distribution Determination Date, a statement or report (a
“Special Distribution Date Statement”) setting forth
(1) the Special Distribution Date to which such Special Distribution Date Statement
relates,
(2) the information specified in subsection (b) of this Section 6.01,
(3) whether the sum of the Adjusted Aggregate Cash Flow Value plus Available Cash is
(A) greater than or equal to the sum of the Accrued Interest plus the aggregate principal
amount of Non-Covered Regular Certificates, in which case the Regular Certificates shall be
deemed to be “Non-Retirable” for purposes of this Article VI, or (B) less than the sum of
the Accrued Interest plus the aggregate principal amount of Non-Covered Regular
Certificates, in which case the Regular Certificates shall be deemed to be “Retirable” for
purposes of this Article VI, and
70
(4) if the Regular Certificates are Retirable, (A) the smallest principal amount of
outstanding Regular Certificates (the “Principal Amount of Retirable Regular Certificates”)
that must be retired through a special distribution, in the manner described in subsection
(d) of this Section 6.01, such that, after giving effect to such special distribution, the
Regular Certificates are Non-Retirable, such amount being the principal amount of the
Regular Certificates to be retired on such Special Distribution Date, (B) the interest that
will have accrued on the Principal Amount of Retirable Regular Certificates to [the date one
month prior to] the next Special Distribution Date, such amount being the amount of interest
to be distributed on such Special Distribution Date as part of the Special Distribution
Amount on each Regular Certificate as to which a special distribution is to be made on such
Special Distribution Date, (C) the amounts included in such Special Distribution Date
Statement pursuant to subclauses (A) and (B) above, expressed in each case per Individual
Certificate of each Class of Regular Certificates to be so subject to a special
distribution, (D) the information specified in subsection (b) of this Section 6.01
recalculated to give effect to such special distribution, and (E) the calculations
confirming that the Regular Certificates are Non-Retirable after giving effect to such
special distribution.
In each month in which a Special Distribution Date Statement is required to be prepared and
for which the required Special Distribution Date Statement shows the Regular Certificates are
Retirable, on the last date in such month on which notice of a special distribution of the type
described in clause (ii) of Section 6.02 may be mailed, the Securities Administrator shall verify
that the amount of the current month’s Agency Security Distributions that were assumed by the
Securities Administrator to be due on the Agency Securities in connection with the preparation of
the Special Distribution Date Statement for that month are consistent with the amounts of Agency
Security Distributions received, or reported to it as being due, in that month, in each case based
upon receipts and information received by the Securities Administrator as of the close of business
on the immediately preceding Business Day. If there is any discrepancy between the assumed Agency
Security Distributions used in preparing such Special Agency Security Distribution Date Statement
and the receipts and information received by the Securities Administrator as of such time, the
Securities Administrator shall revise its Special Distribution Date Statement accordingly and
deliver it to the Depositor. Such revised Special Distribution Date Statement shall supersede the
previous Special Distribution Date Statement and be controlling for all purposes under this
Agreement.
(d) If the Securities Administrator has determined on any Special Distribution Determination
Date that the Regular Certificates are Retirable, the Securities Administrator shall give a notice
of special distribution as provided in Section 6.02 and make a distribution sufficient to retire
the Principal Amount of Retirable Regular Certificates (subject, however, to the availability of
funds for that purpose in the Collection Account) and, upon the giving of such notice, the
Aggregate Special Distribution Amounts shall be distributable on the next Special Distribution
Date.
All distributions of principal made in any special distribution shall be made in the same
priority and manner as distributions of principal on any Principal Distribution Date. The Regular
Certificates may be subject to a special distribution on more than one Special Distribution Date
during a particular Due Period so long as the requirements of this Article VI are complied with.
71

Notices of special distributions on Regular Certificates shall be given by the Securities
Administrator at the expense of the Depositor at the following times and to the following Persons:
(1) Notice of any special distribution on Regular Certificates, other than a special
distribution that will result in the distribution in full of the entire outstanding
principal balance of the Regular Certificates to be subject to such special redemption and

such Regular Certificate shall be limited to the Special Distribution Amount therefor, that
no interest shall accrue on the portion of the Current Principal Amount which is included in
the Special Distribution Amount for each such Regular Certificate for any period after [the

be maintained as provided in Section 3.06) and that no interest shall accrue on such Regular
Certificate for any period after [the date one month prior to] the date fixed for such
special distribution.
Failure to give notice of a special distribution, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any
Regular Certificate subject to a special distribution shall not impair or affect the validity of
any special distribution on any other Regular Certificate.
SECTION 6.03. Amounts Distributable on Special Distribution Date.
Notice of a special distribution having been given as provided in Section 6.02, the Special
Distribution Amount set forth in such notice shall, on the applicable Special Distribution Date,
become distributable and (unless the Securities Administrator shall fail or be unable to distribute
such Special Distribution Amount) no interest shall accrue on the principal portion of each Regular
Certificate retired on such Special Distribution Date for any period after [the date one month
prior to] such Special Distribution Date.
ARTICLE VII
Periodic Accountants’ Reports
SECTION 7.01. Appointment of Independent Accountants.
At the Closing Date the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall appoint the firm of
Independent Accountants that prepared the letter required to be delivered under Section 2.02(b) as
the Independent Accountants of the Trust Fund for purposes of preparing and delivering the reports
required by Section 7.02. Upon any removal of such firm by the Securities Administrator or any
resignation by such firm, the Securities Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor thereto
that shall also be a firm of Independent Accountants of recognized national reputation. The fees
of such firm of Independent Accountants and of each such successor firm, if any, shall be payable
by the Securities Administrator from amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 5.04 or from amounts available for that purpose in the Expense Reserve Account.
SECTION 7.02. Accountants’ Reports.
(a) The Securities Administrator shall request that the firm of Independent Accountants
appointed pursuant to subsection 7.01 (or any successor firm so appointed) review and prepare and
deliver to the Securities Administrator [, the Rating Agency] and the Depositor, at the times
specified in Section 7.02(b), a report with respect to
(1) each Distribution Date Statement prepared by the Securities Administrator pursuant
to Section 5.01 with respect to which a prior report has not been prepared and delivered,
73
(2) each Special Distribution Date Statement prepared by the Securities Administrator
pursuant to Section 6.01 since the preceding Principal Distribution Date (or since the
Closing Date if no Distribution Date has occurred), and
(3) a sample, selected by such firm in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, of any Investment Statements prepared by the Securities Administrator pursuant to
Section 4.01 during the period covered by such Distribution Date Statement.
Such report shall state that
(1) such Independent Accountants have reviewed such Distribution Date Statement, each
such Special Distribution Date Statement and such sample of Investment Statements,
(2) they have performed the calculations required to be made in connection therewith,
(3) they have reviewed the accountings of the related Agency Security Distributions and
of the Collection Account, Expense Reserve Account furnished by the Securities Administrator
with respect to the Due Period covered by such Distribution Date Statement and, in the case
of Agency Security Distributions due in the last month of such Due Period but not yet
received, the applicable information specified in Section 1.02(b), and
(4) based upon such review, such firm of Independent Accountants has no exceptions to
the Securities Administrator’s calculations set forth in any of such Statements, or that all
of such exceptions are set forth in such report or certificate.
Such report shall be delivered to the Trustee, and a copy of such certificate or opinion shall be
delivered to the Depositor, prior to the close of business on the second Business Day following the
related Distribution Determination Date. If such firm of Independent Accountants sets forth any
exceptions to the Trustee’s Distribution Date Statement in its report the Trustee’s Distribution
Date Statement shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect such exceptions.
If the Trustee shall fail to deliver to the Depositor any Distribution Date Statement or any
Special Distribution Date Statement by the due date therefor, the Depositor shall, at the opening
of business on the next Business Day after such due date, direct the firm of Independent
Accountants appointed pursuant to subsection (a) to prepare and deliver to the Depositor such
Distribution Date Statement or Special Distribution Date Statement, as the case may be, no later
than 2:00 P.M. New York City time on the Business Day following the day on which such direction was
given. The fees of such Independent Accountants for preparing any such statement shall be paid by
the Trustee from amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.04 or from
amounts available for that purpose in the Expense Reserve Account.
(b) The reports specified in subsection (a) above shall be prepared and delivered [quarterly]
[monthly] within two Business Days after the Distribution Date Statements occurring in each [third]
month following the Closing date until six such reports shall have been prepared
74
and delivered, and annually thereafter on or before February 1 of each subsequent year;
provided, however, that if any of such reports sets forth any material exceptions or errors, such
succeeding reports shall be delivered in each third month following the month in which the report
setting forth such exceptions or errors was prepared until six such reports shall have been
prepared and delivered, and annually thereafter on or before February 1 of each subsequent year.
(c) At such time as the reports to be delivered on or before February 1 of each year (as
specified in subsection (b) above) are prepared, the firm of Independent Accountants shall also
prepare reports with respect to the withholding and reporting requirements applicable to original

ARTICLE VIII
Deficiency Events
SECTION 8.01. Occurrence; Securities Administrator’s Determinations.
Upon the occurrence of a Deficiency Event, the Securities Administrator shall, promptly after
the Distribution Date on which such Deficiency Event occurs, determine whether or not the
application on a monthly basis of all future Agency Security Distributions and other amounts
receivable with respect to the Trust Fund towards distributions on the Regular Certificates in
accordance with the priorities as to distributions of principal set forth in such Certificates and
Section 3.03 will result in the retirement of the entire Aggregate Current Principal Amount of and
the distribution of all interest accrued on the Regular Certificates under the Maximum Rate
Assumption. In making any such determination, the Securities Administrator shall ignore all
Initial Principal Distribution Dates and, except for the Final Distribution Date applicable to the
Class or Classes of Regular Certificates having the latest Final Distribution Date, all Final
Distribution Dates, to the effect that a positive determination under this Section 8.01 can be made
if the Securities Administrator can determine that such distributions will be sufficient to pay
interest at the applicable Certificate Interest Rates under the Maximum Rate Assumption and to
retire the entire Current Principal Amount of each Regular Certificate on or before such latest
Final Distribution Date.
The Securities Administrator may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion or report of
the firm of Independent Accountants acting pursuant to Section 7.01 as to the sufficiency of the
amounts receivable with respect to the Trust Fund to make such distributions of principal of and
interest on the Regular Certificates, which opinion or report shall be conclusive evidence as to
such sufficiency.
Pending the making of any determination pursuant to this Section 8.01, distributions on the
Regular Certificates shall continue to be made in accordance with Section 5.02(d).
As promptly as practicable following any determination pursuant to this Section 8.01, the
Securities Administrator shall notify all Holders of Certificates as to such determination and the
effect thereof upon future distributions on the Certificates as set forth in Sections 8.02 and
8.03.
75
SECTION 8.02. Distributions Upon a Determination of Sufficiency.
(a) In the event that the Securities Administrator shall have made a positive determination
pursuant to Section 8.01 (a “Determination of Sufficiency”), the Securities Administrator shall,
beginning on the first Deficiency Distribution Date which occurs more than ten days subsequent to
the date upon which the Securities Administrator made such Determination of Sufficiency, withdraw
from the Collection Account on each Deficiency Distribution Date all amounts at the time held
therein (after any withdrawal for Expenses as provided in the following paragraph) and shall
distribute such amounts to Holders of Regular Certificates as of the related Special Record Date in
accordance with the priorities and allocations as to principal and interest set forth below in this
Section 8.02. In the event that a Class of Accrual Certificates shall not at the time be entitled
to distributions of interest, interest accrued but not required to be distributed on such Class
shall be added to the Current Principal Amount of each Certificate of such Class in the same manner
as prior to the occurrence of the Deficiency Event.
(b) Each such monthly distribution on a Deficiency Distribution Date shall be made without
regard to any calculations as to the Aggregate Regular Certificate Distribution Amount and, so long
as such monthly distributions continue pursuant to this Section 8.02, no withdrawals from the
Collection Account shall be made for the purpose of distributions to Holders of Residual
Certificates until either such Deficiency Event is declared to be not continuing pursuant to the
following paragraph or until the principal of all Regular Certificates has been retired in full;
provided, however, that, prior to each such distribution to Holders of Regular Certificates, the
Trustee may withdraw from the Collection Account any amounts as may at the time be required to pay
Expenses notwithstanding the priority of Holders of Regular Certificates respecting amounts in the
Certificate Account prior to the occurrence of a Deficiency Event. All amounts available for
distribution from the Collection Account on each Deficiency Distribution Date pursuant to this
Section 8.02 shall be applied, first, to the payment of all interest accrued but
undistributed on the Regular Certificates to [the date one month prior to] such Deficiency
Distribution Date (other than accrued interest on any Class of Accrual Certificates for which the
Initial Interest Distribution Date has not yet occurred) and, second, to the reduction of
the Current Principal Amounts of the Outstanding Regular Certificates in the order of their Final
Distribution Dates.
(c) In the event that, subsequent to the making of any distribution on a Deficiency
Distribution Date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator
determines that (i) it could make a Determination of Sufficiency pursuant to Section 8.01 which
included taking into consideration the making of distributions on [a quarterly] [an annual] rather
than a monthly basis as well as all applicable Initial Principal Distribution Dates and Final
Distribution Dates and (ii) the aggregate of the Cash Flow Values of all Cash Flow Groups as of the
date that would otherwise be the related Distribution Determination Date is greater than the
Aggregate Current Principal Amount of the Regular Certificates at the time Outstanding (after
giving effect to the distribution of principal made on such Deficiency Distribution Date), the
Securities Administrator shall notify all Certificateholders and declare such Deficiency Event to
no longer be continuing and resume distributions on the Certificates (including, to the extent
applicable, Residual Certificates) as provided herein on each Distribution Date as if no such
Deficiency Event had occurred.
76
SECTION 8.03. Distributions Upon a Determination of Insufficiency.
(a) In the event that the Securities Administrator shall have made a negative determination
pursuant to Section 8.01 (a “Determination of Insufficiency”), the Securities Administrator shall,
beginning on the first Deficiency Distribution Date which occurs more than ten days subsequent to
the date upon which the Securities Administrator made such Determination of Insufficiency, withdraw
from the Collection Account on each Deficiency Distribution Date all amounts at the time held
therein (after any withdrawal for expenses as provided in the following paragraph) and shall
distribute such amounts to the Holders of Regular Certificates in the following order and
priorities.
first: To the payment of amounts then accrued and undistributed on all Regular
Certificates (including any Accrual Certificates) for interest on the Current Principal
Amount of each such Regular Certificate at the Highest Certificate Interest Rate
(notwithstanding the Certificate Interest Rate borne by such Regular Certificate) from [the
date one month prior to] the Distribution Date preceding the Distribution Date on which the
Deficiency Event occurred (or [the date one month prior to] such later date to which
interest has been paid or, in the case of any Accrual Certificates, added to the principal
balance thereof) to [the date one month prior to] such Deficiency Distribution Date; and
second: To the reduction of the Current Principal Amount of each Regular
Certificate, ratably among all Regular Certificates, without preference or priority of any
kind and without regard for the sequence in which the principal of Regular Certificates is
otherwise paid.
(b) Each such monthly distribution on a Deficiency Distribution Date shall be made without
regard to any calculations as to the Aggregate Regular Certificate Distribution Amount and, so long
as such monthly distributions continue pursuant to this Section 8.02, no withdrawals from the
Certificate Account shall be made for the purpose of distributions to Holders of Residual
Certificates until the principal of all Regular Certificates has been retired in full; provided,
however, that prior to each such distribution to Holders of Regular Certificates, the Securities
Administrator may withdraw from the Collection Account any amounts as may at the time be required
to pay Expenses notwithstanding the priority of Holders of Regular Certificates respecting amounts
in the Collection Account prior to the occurrence of a Deficiency Event.
(c) So long as distributions on Regular Certificates are being made pursuant to this Section
8.03, the Holders of Regular Certificates representing more than 50% of the Aggregate Current
Principal Amount of the Outstanding Regular Certificates may direct the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator to sell the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 8.04, any such direction being irrevocable
and binding (subject, however, to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04) upon
the Holders of all such Regular Certificates as well as upon the Holders of all Residual
Certificates. Pending any such sale, monthly distributions shall continue to be made on the
Regular Certificates on each Deficiency Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 8.03. In the
absence of such a direction, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall not sell all or a
portion of the Trust Fund.
77
(d) Any Determination of Insufficiency by the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section
8.01 shall be irrevocable to the effect that, notwithstanding any subsequent event or occurrence
which would permit the Securities Administrator to make a Determination of Sufficiency,
distributions following such a Determination of Insufficiency shall be made in the manner provided
in this Section 8.03 and Holders of Regular Certificates representing more than 50% of the
Aggregate Current Principal Amount of the Outstanding Regular Certificates may at any time direct a
Sale of the Trust Fund.
SECTION 8.04. Sale of Trust Fund.
In the event that (a ) a Determination of Insufficiency has been made by the Securities
Administrator and (b) the Trustee and the Securities Administrator has received a direction for the
sale of the Trust Fund from Holders of Regular Certificates representing more than 50% of the
Aggregate Current Principal Amount of the Outstanding Regular Certificates, the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator shall proceed to sell the Trust Fund in one or more separate, private or
public sales, the method, manner, time, place and terms of any such sale being in the sole
discretion of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, provided that (1) any such sale shall
be conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and (2) except as hereinafter provided (a) any
such sale and the distribution of the proceeds thereof to Certificateholders shall be conducted in
such a manner as to constitute a “qualified liquidation” for purposes of Section 860F(a)(4)(A) of
the Code and (b) there shall have been delivered to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator a
Non-Disqualification Opinion with respect to such proposed sale and the distribution of the
proceeds thereof to Certificateholders. In the event that there shall be delivered to the Trustee
and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the net proceeds of any
sale of the Trust Fund after payment of all taxes on “prohibited transactions” as defined in
Section 860F of the Code would not be less than the amount that would be distributable to the
Holders of the Regular Certificates pursuant to Section 8.03 on the next Deficiency Distribution
Date following such sale, then clause (2) of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence
shall be inapplicable to such sale.
The proceeds of any such sale (after reimbursement to the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator of their respective reasonable expenses and disbursements) shall be distributed
promptly to Holders of Regular Certificates upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at
the office or agency specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Such proceeds shall be applied in the order and priority set forth in Section 8.03 for monthly
distributions thereunder. In the event that proceeds remain after the retirement of the entire
Current Principal Amount of each Regular Certificate together with accrued and undistributed
interest thereon at the Highest Certificate Interest Rate, such remaining net proceeds shall be
distributed to Holders of Residual Certificates in accordance with the respective Percentage
Interests evidenced thereby upon presentation and surrender of such Residual Certificates at the
office or agency specified in the notice to Holders of Residual Certificates of such final
distribution.

The Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations
expressly and specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Depositor herein.

Depositor.
Any corporation into which the Depositor may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Depositor shall be a party, or
any corporation succeeding to the business of the Depositor, which executes an agreement of

SECTION 9.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor and Others.
Neither the Depositor nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the
Depositor shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action
taken or for refraining from the taking of any action by the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement,
or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect
the Depositor or any such person against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason
of willful misfeasance; bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties of the Depositor
or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties of the Depositor hereunder. The
Depositor and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Depositor may rely in good faith
on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any
Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.
SECTION 9.04. The Depositor Not to Resign.
Subject to the provisions of Section 9.02, the Depositor shall not resign from the obligations
and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that the performance of its duties
hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law; provided, however, that the Depositor may
assign or delegate its obligations to the Securities Administrator or to a Person having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $ . Any such determination permitting the resignation of the
Depositor shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Securities
Administrator. No such resignation shall become effective until the Securities Administrator or a
successor Person shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Depositor in
accordance with Section 9.02.
SECTION 9.05. Annual Statement as to Compliance.
On or before 1 in each calendar year, beginning 1, , the Depositor

delegatee, assignee or successor) stating that
(1) a review of the fulfillment by the Depositor (or such delegatee, assignee
or successor) during such year or its obligations under this Agreement has been made
under such officer’s supervision; and
(2) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the
Depositor (or such delegatee, assignee or successor) has fulfilled all its
obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a
Default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such Default
known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.
SECTION 9.06. Depositor May Own Certificates.
The Depositor in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledge of any
Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Depositor.
ARTICLE X
The Trustee
SECTION 10.01. Duties of Trustee.
(a) If a Deficiency Event or an Event of Default (as hereinafter in this Article X used, an
“Event of Default” or a “Default” shall be deemed to include a Deficiency Event) has occurred and
is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.
(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(1) The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this
Agreement and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations of the Trustee shall be
read into this Agreement.
(2) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to
the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Agreement. The Trustee shall, however, examine such certificates and opinions to determine
whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement.
(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(1) This paragraph does not limit the effect of subsection (b) of this Section.
80
(2) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts.
(3) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to
take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it for a sale of the Trust
Fund pursuant to Section 8.03.
(d) For all purposes under this Agreement and except as otherwise contemplated by Section
10.01(a) or Section 10.01(c), the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Event of
Default described in Section 11.01(3) or 11.01(4) or any Default described in Section 11.01(1) or
11.01(2) unless a Responsible Officer assigned to and working in the Trustee’s corporate trust
department has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event that is in fact such
an Event of Default or Default is received by the Trustee at the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office,
and such notice references the Certificates generally, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator,
the Trust Fund or this Agreement.
(e) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds
or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in
the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not refuse or fail to perform any of its
duties hereunder solely as a result of non-payment of its normal fees and expenses and further
provided that nothing in this Section 10.01(e) shall be construed to limit the exercise by the
Trustee of any right or remedy permitted under this Agreement or otherwise in the event of the
Depositor’s failure to provide for the payment of the Trustee’s fees and expenses pursuant to
Section 10.07. In determining that such repayment or indemnity is not reasonably assured to it,
the Trustee must consider not only the likelihood of repayment or indemnity by or on behalf of the
Depositor but also the likelihood of repayment or indemnity from amounts payable to it from the
Trust Fund pursuant to Section 10.07, Section 5.04, Section 8.02 or Section 8.03.
(f) Every provision of this Agreement that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to the
provisions of this Section.

Within 90 days after the occurrence of any Default known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall
cause the Securities Administrator to transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates and to each
Rating Agency that rated the Regular Certificates notice of each such Default, unless such Default
shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that except in the case of the occurrence of a
Deficiency Event, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the
board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible
Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the
interests of the Holders of the Certificates; and provided, further, that in the case of any
Default of the character specified in Sections 11.01(1) and 11.01(2) no such notice to Holders of
the Certificates or to any rating agency shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence
thereof.
81
SECTION 10.03. Rights of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee may rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed
or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in
the document.

or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take
in good faith in reliance on the Certificate or Opinion.

negligence of any agent appointed with due care.

that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers.
SECTION 10.04. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Certificates.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates, other than execution of the
Certificates, shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations with respect to the
Trust Fund or as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates. The
Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of the Certificates or
the proceeds thereof or any money paid to the Depositor or upon Depositor Order pursuant to the
provisions hereof.
SECTION 10.05. May Hold Certificates.
The Trustee or any other agent of the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may
become the owner or pledgee of Certificates and, subject to Section 10.08, may otherwise deal with
the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee, Agent, or such other agent.
SECTION 10.06. Money Held in Trust.
Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by this Agreement or by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for
interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Depositor and
except to the extent of income or other gain on investments that are obligations of the Trustee and
income or other gain actually received by the Trustee on investments that are obligations of
others.
SECTION 10.07. Compensation and Reimbursement.
[The Trustee shall be entitled to receive for its own account, in accordance with Sections
5.04, 8.02, 8.03 or 8.04 or Article XIII, as applicable and subject to the availability of funds
for such purpose in the Trust Accounts.
82

shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an
express trust);
(b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, reimbursement for all reasonable expenses,

and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its
negligence or bad faith; and

loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part, arising out of,
or in connection with, the acceptance or administration of this Agreement and the Trust Fund,
including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim in connection with the
acceptance or administration of this Agreement and the Trust Fund, including the costs and expenses
of defending themselves against any claim in connection with the exercise or performance of any of
their powers or duties hereunder.
The Trustee shall in no event acquire any lien upon the Trust Fund, or any claim against the
holders of the Residual Certificates (in their capacity as such), by reason of its failure to
receive the amounts due under this Section 10.07. The Trustee shall, unless and until the
effective date of its resignation under Section 10.10, continue to perform its obligations
hereunder, subject, however, to Section 10.01(d).]
[The Depositor agrees
(1) subject to any separate written agreement with the Trustee, to pay the Trustee from
time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which
compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a
trustee of an express trust);
(2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its
request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Agreement (including the reasonable
compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and
(3) to indemnify the Trustee and its agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any
loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part, arising
out of, or in connection with, the acceptance or administration of this Agreement and the
Trust Fund, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim in
connection with the acceptance or administration of this Agreement and the Trust Fund,
including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim in connection
with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder, provided that:

(i) with respect to any such claim, the Trustee shall have given the Depositor
written notice thereof promptly after the Trustee shall have knowledge thereof;
(ii) while maintaining absolute control over its own defense, the Trustee shall
cooperate and consult fully with the Depositor in preparing such defense; and
(iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.07(3), the
Depositor shall not be liable for settlement of any such claim by the Trustee
entered into without the prior consent of the Depositor.
As security for the performance of the obligations of the Depositor under this Section, the Trustee
shall have a lien upon the Residual of the Trust Fund. The Trustee shall not institute any
Proceedings seeking the enforcement of such lien against the Trust Fund except a Proceeding seeking
to enforce such lien against only (i) the portion of the proceeds of a Sale of the Trust Fund
pursuant to Section 8.04 that are payable to Holders of the Residual Certificates, (ii) any amounts
payable to the Trustee pursuant to clause second of Section 5.04 or (iii) any amounts payable to
the Trustee following a Deficiency Event pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03.]
SECTION 10.08. Eligibility; Disqualification.
The Trustee under this Agreement shall always be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States or of any state or territory or of the District of Columbia
which is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and is subject to
supervision or examination by Federal, state, territorial or District of Columbia authority. The
Trustee shall always have a combined capital and surplus as stated in Section 10.09.
SECTION 10.09. Trustee’s Capital and Surplus.
The Trustee shall at all times have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000.
If the Trustee publishes annual reports of condition pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
supervising or examining authority set forth in Section 10.08, its combined capital and surplus for
purposes of this Section 10.09 shall be as set forth in the latest such report.
SECTION 10.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.
(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the
successor Trustee under Section 10.11.
(b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor and
the Securities Administrator. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have
been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee.
84
(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders representing more than [50%]
[66%] of the Aggregate Current Principal Amount of the Outstanding Regular Certificates, delivered
to the Trustee and to the Depositor.
(d) If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 10.09 or shall become
incapable of acting or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of
its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee
or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then,
in any such case, (i) the Depositor by a Depositor Order may remove the Trustee, or (ii) any
Certificateholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Certificate for at least six months may, on
behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy
shall occur in the office of the Trustee for any cause, the Depositor, by a Depositor Order, shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If within one year after such vacancy a successor Trustee
shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% [66%] of the
Aggregate Current Principal Amount of the Outstanding Regular Certificates delivered to the
Depositor and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its
acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee
appointed by the Depositor. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Depositor
or Certificateholders and shall have accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any
Certificateholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Certificate for at least six months may, on
behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
(f) The Depositor shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and
each appointment of a successor Trustee to the Holders of Certificates and to each rating agency
that rated the Regular Certificates. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee
and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.
SECTION 10.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.
Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Depositor and the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on request of the
Depositor or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges,
execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all property and money
held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided for in
Section 10.07. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Depositor shall execute and deliver
any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor
Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.
No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.
85
SECTION 10.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Successor to Business of Trustee.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the
corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided
such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In
case any Certificates have been executed, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any
successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such executing Trustee may adopt such execution
and deliver the Certificates so executed with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had
executed such Certificates.
SECTION 10.13. Co-trustees and Separate Trustees.
At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Trust Fund may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Trustee shall
have power to appoint, and, upon the written request of the Trustee or of the Holders of
Certificates representing more than [50%] [66%] of the Aggregate Current Principal Amount of the
Outstanding Regular Certificates, the Depositor shall for such purpose join with the Trustee in the
execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to
appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Trustee either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the
Trustee, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, or to act as separate trustee of any such property,
in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in
such Person or Persons in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed
necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section. If the Depositor does not
join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee alone shall have power to make such
appointment.
Should any written instrument from the Depositor be required by any co-trustee or separate
trustee so appointed for more fully confirming to such co-trustee or separate trustee such
property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed,
acknowledged and delivered by the Depositor.
Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent
only, be appointed subject to the following terms:
(1) The Certificates shall be executed and delivered and all rights, powers, duties and
obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, cash and other personal
property held by, or required to be deposited with, the Trustee hereunder, shall be
exercised, solely by the Trustee.
(2) The rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the
Trustee in respect of any property covered by such appointment shall be conferred or imposed
upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee or by the Trustee
86
and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument
appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that, under any law of
any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Trustee shall be
incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties
and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee.
(3) The Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the
written concurrence of the Depositor, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee
or separate trustee appointed under this Section, and, in case an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or
remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Depositor.
Upon the written request of the Trustee, the Depositor shall join with the Trustee in the
execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to
effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee
so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section.
(4) No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of
any act or omission of the Trustee, or any other such trustee hereunder and the Trustee
shall not be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any co-trustee or other
such separate trustee hereunder.
(5) Any Act of Certificateholders delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been
delivered to each such co-trustee and separate trustee.

regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

any other of its covenants in this Agreement, and such Default shall continue for a period
of 30 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the

to the Depositor and the Trustee or the Securities Administrator by the Holders of Regular
Certificates representing at least 25% of the Aggregate Current Principal Amount or by the

was incorrect shall not have been eliminated or otherwise cured;
(3) the entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in respect

hereafter in effect, or any other present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency
or similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian,
sequestrator or other similar official of the Depositor or of any substantial part of its
property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Depositor and the

making by the Depositor of an assignment for the benefit of creditors or the failure by the
Depositor generally to pay its debts as such debts become due or the taking of corporate
action by the Depositor in furtherance of any of the foregoing.
SECTION 11.02. Termination of Depositor’s Rights and Obligations.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, so
long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied by the Depositor, the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, or the Holders of Regular Certificates representing not less than 25% of
the Aggregate Current Principal Amount or the Holders of Residual Certificates evidencing
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% by notice given in writing to the Depositor (and
to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator if given by Certificateholders) may terminate all
of the rights and obligations of the Depositor under this Agreement. On or after the receipt by
the Depositor of such written notice, all authority and power of the Depositor under this
Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the Trust Fund or otherwise, shall pass to
and be vested in the Securities Administrator pursuant to and under this Section 11.02; and,
without limitation, the Securities Administrator is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Depositor, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and
other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to
effect the purposes of such notice of termination. The Depositor agrees to
88
cooperate with the Trustee and the Securities Administrator in effecting the termination of
the responsibilities and rights of the Depositor hereunder.

capacity as such under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and
shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the
Depositor by the terms and provisions hereof. As compensation therefor, the Securities
Administrator shall be entitled to such compensation as the Depositor would have been entitled to
hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given. Any such fees shall be in addition to
amounts payable to the Securities Administrator hereunder as compensation for its acting as
Securities Administrator under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the Securities
Administrator may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act,
appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established
institution having a net worth of not less than $
as the
successor to the Depositor hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities,
duties or liabilities of the Depositor hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the
Depositor hereunder, unless the Securities Administrator is prohibited by law from so acting, the
Securities Administrator shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with
such appointment and assumption, the Securities Administrator may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of amounts available for such purpose in the Collection Account
as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation
shall be in excess of that permitted the Depositor hereunder. The Securities Administrator and
such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession.
SECTION 11.04. Securities Administrator’s Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
may in its discretion, whether or not the rights and obligations of the Depositor under this
Agreement have been terminated pursuant to Section 11.02, proceed to protect and enforce its rights
and the rights of the Certificateholders by such appropriate Proceedings as the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such
rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or in
aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or enforce any other proper remedy, including,
without limitation, instituting a Proceeding under this Agreement, prosecuting such Proceeding to
final judgment or decree, and collecting out of the property, wherever situated, of the Depositor
the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law.
SECTION 11.05. Notification to Certificateholders.

their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.

deemed to be (1) the most recent bid prices for the Agency Securities in the over-the-counter
securities market if the Agency Securities are traded in such market, (2) if the Agency Securities
are traded on a securities exchange, the average closing sale price for the Agency Securities on
such securities exchange for the last five trading days of such exchange immediately preceding such

current prices of securities deemed by the Depositor to be most comparable to the Agency
Securities. Any such determination of the fair market value of the Agency Securities shall be made
as of the third Business Day next preceding the mailing of the notice of termination pursuant to
Section 13.03.]
The right of the Depositor to repurchase all Agency Securities, pursuant to clause (i) of the
second preceding paragraph may not be exercised prior to (a) the time that the Aggregate Agency

Individual Certificate to Holders of Residual Certificates and (C) that the Record Date that would
otherwise have been applicable to the Distribution Date upon which the Termination Date occurs will
not be applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the
office or agency therein specified. The Depositor shall give such notice to the Securities
Administrator and the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.
Upon presentation and surrender of Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall cause to be
distributed to the presenting Certificateholder an amount equal to (i) in the case of a Regular
Certificate, the Termination Price or (ii) in the case of a Residual Certificate, the Percentage
Interest represented by such Certificate in all amounts remaining in the Trust Fund after payment
or provision for payment of the Termination Price of all Regular Certificates that were Outstanding
immediately prior to the Termination Date.
In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for
cancellation within six months after the Termination Date, the Depositor shall give a second
written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation
and receive the Termination Price or final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year

Depositor may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact
the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof
shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain subject to this Agreement.

registrant to indicate (by checking “yes” or “no”) that it “(1) has filed all reports required to
be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such
shorter period that the registrant was required to file such
102
reports), and (2) has been subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days.” The
Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing, no later than the fifth calendar
day after the related Interest Distribution Date or Final Distribution Date, as applicable, with
respect to the filing of a report on Form 10-D, if the answer to the questions should be “no.” In
the absence of such notification by the Depositor to the Securities Administrator, the Securities
Administrator shall be entitled to assume that the answer to the questions on Form 10-D should be
“yes.” The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such representations in
preparing, executing and/or filing any such report.
(b) In accordance with the respective reporting obligations set forth on Schedule C hereto,
within five calendar days after the related Interest Distribution Date or Final Distribution Date,
as applicable, the Securities Administrator and any other Reporting Party shall be required to

Additional Form 10-D Disclosure received by it. The Depositor shall approve, as to form and
substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure
on Form 10-D. The Securities Administrator shall compile all such information provided to it in a
Form 10-D prepared by it. The Securities Administrator has no duty under this Agreement to monitor
or enforce the performance by the parties listed on Schedule C of their duties under this paragraph
or proactively solicit or procure from such parties any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure
information. The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or
incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D
Disclosure on Form 10-D pursuant to this paragraph.
(c) After preparing the Form 10-D, and no later than the close of business on the

(which may be provided electronically) of any changes to or approve the filing of such Form 10-D
and of any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure to be filed on the Form 10-D. In the absence of receipt
of any written changes or approval, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to assume that
such Form 10-D is in final form and the Securities Administrator may proceed with the execution and
filing of the Form 10-D. A duly authorized representative of the [Securities Administrator]
[Depositor] shall sign the Form 10-D. No later than two Business Days prior to the 15th calendar
day after the related Distribution Date, the Depositor shall sign the Form 10-D and return an
electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-D (with an original executed hard copy to immediately
follow) to the Securities Administrator. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously
filed Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set
forth in Section 15.03(e) hereof. Form 10-D requires the registrant to indicate (by checking “yes”
or “no”) that it “(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or
103
15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to such filing requirements
for the past 90 days.” The Depositor hereby represents to the Securities Administrator that the
Depositor has filed all such required reports during the preceding 12 months and that is has been
subject to such filing requirement for the past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify the Securities
Administrator in writing, no later than the fifth calendar day after the related Distribution Date
with respect to the filing of a report on Form 10-D, if the answer to either question should be
“no.” The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such representations in preparing,

expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D pursuant to this paragraph.
SECTION 15.03. Form 8-K Reporting.
(a) If directed by the Depositor, within four Business Days after the occurrence of an event
requiring disclosure on Form 8-K (each such event, a “Reportable Event”), the Securities
Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust Fund any Form 8-K, as required by the
Exchange Act, provided, however, that the Depositor shall file the initial Form 8-K (operative
agreements) in connection with the issuance of the Certificates. Any disclosure or information
related to a Reportable Event (“Form 8-K Disclosure Information”) or that is otherwise required to

connection with the Certificates) shall be determined and prepared by the Depositor pursuant to
Section 15.03(c) and the Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure

Additional Form 8-K Disclosure, if applicable, together with an Additional Disclosure Notification.
The Securities Administrator shall notify the Depositor of any Form 8-K Disclosure Information
with respect to itself or any of its Affiliates and any other Form 8-K Disclosure Information
received by it. The Depositor shall
104
approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Form 8-K
Disclosure Information. The Securities Administrator shall compile all such information provided
to it in a Form 8-K prepared by it. The Securities Administrator has no duty under this Agreement
to monitor or enforce the performance by the parties listed on Schedule C of their duties under
this paragraph or proactively solicit or procure from such parties any Form 8-K Disclosure
Information. The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or

Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in Section 15.03(e) hereof. With
respect to each Form 8-K prepared and filed by the Securities Administrator, promptly (but no later
than one Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Securities Administrator will [make
available on its internet website] a final executed copy thereof. The Depositor will be
responsible for any reasonable additional fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities
Administrator in connection with including any Form 8-K Disclosure Information on Form 8-K pursuant

(e) In the event that the Securities Administrator is unable to file timely with the

by the Agreement because required disclosure information was either not delivered to it or
delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement or for any other reason,
the Securities Administrator will immediately notify the Depositor. In the case of Form 10-D and
Form 10-K, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a Form 10-D/A and

105
such amendment includes any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, any Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure or any Form 8-K Disclosure Information or an amendment to any such disclosure, the
Securities Administrator will notify the Depositor (unless such amendment is solely for the purpose
of restating the Distribution Date Statement) and such parties will cooperate to prepare any

(b) In accordance with the respective reporting obligations set forth on Schedule C hereto, no

106
facsimile to (443) 367–3307) and the Depositor to the extent known by a responsible officer
thereof, in XXXXX-compatible form, or in IDEA-compatible form, or in such other form as otherwise
agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, the form and substance of any
Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, if applicable, together with an Additional Disclosure
Notification. The Securities Administrator shall notify the Depositor of any Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure with respect to itself or any of its Affiliates and any other Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure received by it. The Depositor shall approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove,
as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K. The
Securities Administrator shall compile all such information provided to it in a Form 10-K prepared
by it. The Securities Administrator has no duty under this Agreement to monitor or enforce the
performance by the parties listed on Schedule C of their duties under this paragraph or proactively
solicit or procure from such parties any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure information. The Depositor
will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities
Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K
pursuant to this paragraph.
(c) After preparing the Form 10-K, the Securities Administrator shall forward electronically a
draft copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor for review no later than 12:00 p.m., New York time on
[date] of each year that the Trust Fund is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements,
commencing in [year] and continuing until the Trust Fund has been deregistered with the
Commission. No later than [date], the Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in
writing (which may be provided electronically) of any changes to or approve the filing of such
Form 10-K and of any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure to be filed on the Form 10-K. In the absence
of receipt of any written changes or approval, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to
assume that such Form 10-K is in final form and the Securities Administrator may proceed with the
execution and filing of the Form 10-K. A senior officer of the Securities Administrator in charge
of the servicing function shall sign the Form 10-K and return an electronic or fax copy of such
signed Form 10-K (with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the
Depositor. No later than the close of business on the fourth Business Day prior to the 10-K Filing
Deadline, a senior officer in charge of securitization of the Depositor shall sign the Form 10-K
and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-K, together with a signed copy of the
certification (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification”) and required to be included with each Form 10-K
pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, as amended (with an original executed hard copy of each
to follow) to the Securities Administrator. If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on time or if a
previously filed Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the
procedures set forth in Section 15.03(e) hereof. Form 10-K requires the registrant to indicate (by
checking “yes” or “no”) that it “(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to such filing requirements
for the past 90 days.” The Depositor hereby represents to the Securities Administrator that the
Depositor has filed all such required reports during the preceding 12 months and that it has been
subject to such filing requirement for the past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify the Securities
Administrator in writing, no later than March 15th with respect to the filing of a report on Form
10-K, if the answer to either question should be “no.” The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on
such representations in preparing, executing and/or filing any such report. Promptly (but no later
than 1 Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Securities Administrator will make
107
available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-K prepared and filed
by the Securities Administrator. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by
the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 15.04(c) related to the timely
preparation, arrangement for execution and filing of Form 10-K is contingent upon such parties
strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties hereunder. The
Securities Administrator shall not have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising
out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, arrange for execution and/or timely file
such Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Trustee’s inability or failure to receive, on a
timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution
or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable additional fees and expenses assessed or
incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure on Form 10-K pursuant to this paragraph.
SECTION 15.05. Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification.
Each Form 10-K shall include a Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification required to be included therewith
pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. No later than [date] of each year, beginning in [ ], the
Securities Administrator shall (unless the Securities Administrator is the Certifying Person),
provide to the Person who signs the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification (the “Certifying Person”) a
certification (each, a “Performance Certification”), in the form attached hereto as Schedule D, on
which the Certifying Person, the entity for which the Certifying Person acts as an officer, and
such entity’s officers, directors and Affiliates (collectively with the Certifying Person,
“Certification Parties”) can reasonably rely. The senior officer of the Securities Administrator
in charge of the servicing function shall sign the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification and shall serve as
the Certifying Person on behalf of the Trust Fund. Neither the Securities Administrator nor the
Depositor will request delivery of a certification under this clause unless the Depositor is
required under the Exchange Act to file an annual report on Form 10-K with respect to the Trust
Fund. In the event that prior to the filing date of the Form 10-K in [month] of each year, the
Securities Administrator or the Depositor has actual knowledge of information material to the
Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor shall promptly notify
the Securities Administrator or the Depositor, as applicable. The respective parties hereto agree
to cooperate with all reasonable requests made by any Certifying Person or Certification Party in
connection with such Person’s attempt to conduct any due diligence that such Person reasonably
believes to be appropriate in order to allow it to deliver any Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification or
portion thereof with respect to the Trust Fund. A senior officer in charge of securitization of
the Depositor shall serve as the Certifying Person on behalf of the Trust Fund. Such officer of
the Certifying Person can be contacted at [address]
SECTION 15.06. Reports on Assessment of Compliance and Attestation.
(a) By [date] of each year (such date includes the expiration of any applicable grace period),
commencing in [date], the Securities Administrator, at its own expense, shall furnish or otherwise
make available to the Depositor a report on an assessment of compliance (each, an “Assessment of
Compliance”) with the Relevant Servicing Criteria that contains (A) a statement by the Securities
Administrator of its responsibility for assessing compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria
under the Agreement, (B) a statement that the Securities Administrator used
108
the Relevant Servicing Criteria to assess compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria,
(C) the Securities Administrator’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria as
of and for the fiscal year covered by the Form 10-K required to be filed pursuant to Section 15.04
hereof, including, if there has been any material instance of noncompliance with the Relevant
Servicing Criteria, a discussion of each such failure and the nature and status thereof, and (D) an
Accounting Firm Attestation has been issued on the Securities Administrator’s Assessment of
Compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria as of and for such period.
(b) No later than the end of each fiscal year for the Trust Fund for which a Form 10-K is
required to be filed, the Securities Administrator shall forward to the Depositor and the Trust
Fund the name of each Reporting Subcontractor engaged by it, if any, and what Relevant Servicing
Criteria will be addressed in the Assessment of Compliance prepared by such Reporting
Subcontractor. When the Securities Administrator (or any Reporting Subcontractor engaged by it)
submit their Assessments of Compliance to the Depositor, such parties will also at such time
include the Assessment of Compliance (and Accounting Firm Attestation pursuant to Section 15.04
hereof) of each Reporting Subcontractor engaged by it.
(c) Promptly after receipt of each such Assessment of Compliance, (x) the Depositor shall
review each such report and, if applicable, consult with the Securities Administrator as to the
nature of any material instance of noncompliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, and (y) the
Securities Administrator shall confirm that the Assessment of Compliance addresses all of the
Servicing Criteria and notify the Depositor of any exceptions.
(d) By [date] of each year, commencing in [ ], the Securities Administrator, at its own
expense, shall cause a registered public accounting firm (which may also render other services to
the Securities Administrator) and that is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants, to furnish a report, which shall be made in accordance with Rule 15d-18 of the
Exchange Act (each, an “Accounting Firm Attestation”) to the Securities Administrator and the
Depositor, to the effect that (A) it has obtained a representation regarding certain matters from
the management of the Securities Administrator, which includes an assertion that the Securities
Administrator has complied with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, and (B) on the basis of an
examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards for attestation engagements issued
or adopted by the PCAOB, it is expressing an opinion as to whether the Securities Administrator’s
compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria was fairly stated in all material respects, or it
cannot express an overall opinion regarding the Securities Administrator’s assessment of compliance
with the Relevant Servicing Criteria. In the event that an overall opinion cannot be expressed,
such registered public accounting firm shall state in such report why it was unable to express such
an opinion. Such report must be available for general use and not contain restricted-use language.
(e) Promptly after receipt of such Accounting Firm Attestation from the Securities
Administrator, (1) the Depositor shall review the Accounting Firm Attestation and, if applicable,
consult with the Securities Administrator as to the nature of any defaults by the Securities
Administrator, in the fulfillment of any of the Securities Administrator’s obligations hereunder or
under any other applicable agreement, and (2) the Securities Administrator shall confirm that each
Assessment of Compliance submitted pursuant to Section 15.06 hereof is coupled with an
109
Accounting Firm Attestation meeting the requirements of this Section 15.06 and notify the
Depositor of any exceptions.
(f) The Securities Administrator shall execute a reliance certificate to enable the
Certification Parties to rely upon each (A) annual compliance statement provided pursuant to
Section [ ] hereof, (B) Assessment of Compliance provided pursuant to this Section 15.06 and
(C) Accounting Firm Attestation provided pursuant to this Section 15.06, and shall include a
certification that each such annual compliance statement, Assessment of Compliance or Accounting
Firm Attestation discloses any deficiencies or defaults described to the registered public
accountants of the Securities Administrator to enable such accountants to render the certification
provided for in this Section 15.06.
(g) In the event the Securities Administrator is terminated or resigns during the term of the
Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall provide documents and information required by this
Section 15.06 with respect to the period of time it was subject to the Agreement or provided
services with respect to the Trust Fund or the Certificates.
(h) Copies of any Assessment of Compliance or Accounting Firm Attestation may be obtained by
Certificateholders without charge upon request to the Securities Administrator at its Corporate
Trust Office.
SECTION 15.07. Use of Subcontractors.
(a) The Securities Administrator shall cause any Subcontractor used by the Securities
Administrator for the benefit of the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Section 5.03 and
Article 15 hereof to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Securities Administrator
(except with respect to the Securities Administrator’s duties with respect to preparing and filing
any Exchange Act Reports or as the Certifying Person). The Securities Administrator shall be
responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor of such Person and delivering to the Depositor
any servicer compliance statement required to be delivered by such Subcontractor hereunder, any
Assessment of Compliance and Accounting Firm Attestation required to be delivered by such Reporting
Subcontractor under Section 15.06 hereof and any certification required to be delivered to the
Certifying Person under Section 15.06(f) hereof as and when required to be delivered. As a
condition to the succession to any Subcontractor as subcontractor under the Agreement by any Person
(A) into which such Subcontractor may be merged or consolidated, or (B) which may be appointed as a
successor to any Subcontractor, the Securities Administrator shall provide to the Depositor, at
least fifteen calendar days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment,
(x) written notice to the Depositor of such succession or appointment and (y) in writing and in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably requested
by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K.
(b) It shall not be necessary for the Securities Administrator to seek the consent of the
Depositor or any other party hereto to the utilization of any Subcontractor. The Securities
Administrator shall promptly upon request provide to the Depositor a written description (in form
and substance satisfactory to the Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor
utilized by such Person, specifying (A) the identity of each such Subcontractor, (B) which (if
110
any) of such Subcontractors are “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning
of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and (C) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be addressed
in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (B) of
this paragraph.
(c) As a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be a Reporting
Subcontractor, the Securities Administrator shall cause any such Subcontractor used for the benefit
of the Depositor to comply with the provisions of this Section 15.07 to the same extent as if such
Subcontractor were the Securities Administrator (except with respect to the Securities
Administrator’s duties with respect to preparing and filing any Exchange Act Reports or as the
Certifying Person), as applicable. The Securities Administrator shall be responsible for obtaining
from each Subcontractor and delivering to the Depositor, any Assessment of Compliance and
Accounting Firm Attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Section 15.06
hereof and any annual statement of compliance required to be delivered by such Subcontractor
hereunder, in each case as and when required to be delivered.
SECTION 15.08. Indemnification by the Securities Administrator.
(a) The Securities Administrator (the “Indemnifying Party”), shall indemnify the Depositor for
the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with
respect to the Trust Fund, or for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or
Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to the Trust Fund; and shall indemnify the
present and former directors, officers, employees and agents of the Depositor and shall hold each

may sustain arising out of or based upon:
(1) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in or

which they were made, not misleading in (x) any compliance certificate delivered by it
pursuant to the terms hereof, (y) any Assessment of Compliance or Accounting Firm
Attestation delivered by or on behalf of it, pursuant to the terms hereof, or (z) any
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or Form 8-K Disclosure
Information concerning the Securities Administrator and provided by it;
(2) any failure by the Indemnifying Party to perform its obligations when and as
required under this Article 15; or
(3) any negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by the Indemnifying Party.
(b) In the case of any failure of performance described in (a)(ii) of this Section, the
Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Depositor and each Person responsible for the
preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with
respect to the transaction, or for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or
Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to the Trust Fund, for all costs reasonably
111
incurred by each such party in order to obtain the information, report, certification,
accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required by the Indemnifying Party.
(c) Any failure by the Indemnifying Party to deliver any information, report, certification or
accountants’ letter when and as required under this Article 15, including (except as provided
below) any failure by the Indemnifying Party to identify pursuant to Section 15.07 any
Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB, which continues unremedied for ten calendar days after the date on which such
information, report, certification or accountants’ letter was required to be delivered shall
entitle the Depositor in its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the
Indemnifying Party under this Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in the Agreement
to the contrary) of any compensation to the Indemnifying Party.
(d) The Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Depositor for all reasonable expenses
incurred by it, in connection with the termination of the Indemnifying Party and the transfer of
its duties to a successor. The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit whatever rights the
Depositor may have under other provisions of this Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at
law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.
(e) This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of
any party to the Agreement.
SECTION 15.09. Amendment.
In the event the parties to this Agreement desire to further clarify or amend any provision of
this Article 15, the Agreement shall be amended to reflect the new agreement between the parties
covering matters in this Article 15 pursuant to Section 13.01 hereof, which amendment shall not
require any Opinion of Counsel or Rating Agency confirmations or the consent of any
Certificateholder.
SECTION 15.10. Limitation on Securities Administrator Liability. Each party to this
Agreement acknowledges that the performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties under
this Article 15 related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of any Form 10-D, Form 15,
Form 12b-25, Form 8-K or Form 10-K or any amendments to such filings is contingent upon such
parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this
Article 15. The Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage,
claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file
a Form 10-D, Form 15, Form 12b-25, Form 8-K or Form 10-K or any amendments to such filings where
such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive,
on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto (other than an Affiliate thereof)
needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, Form 15, Form 12b-25, Form 8-K or
Form 10-K or any amendments to such filings not resulting from its negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct.
SECTION 15.11. Securities Administrator as Servicer. Each of the parties hereto
acknowledges that for purposes of Regulation AB the Securities Administrator constitutes the
112
“servicer” of the Trust Fund and is therefore able to execute the reports required to be filed
under the Exchange Act and this Article 15.
ARTICLE XVI
Miscellaneous
SECTION 16.01. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee or the Securities
Administrator.
In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion
of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by
the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document,
but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more
other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to
such matters in one or several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Depositor (or any assignee or
successor of the Depositor) may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a
certificate or opinion of, or representations by counsel, unless such Authorized Officer knows, or
in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such
certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Depositor (or any assignee or successor of
the Depositor) or any Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to calculations
subject to verification by Accountants, upon a certificate or opinion of a firm of Accountants
stating that such Accountants have verified the accuracy of calculations demonstrating compliance
with any conditions required to be covered by such certificate or opinion, unless such Authorized
Officer or counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate
or opinion with respect to such matters is erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may also be based,
insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by,
an Authorized Officer of the Depositor (or any assignee or successor of the Depositor) stating that
the information with respect to such matters is in the possession of the Depositor unless such
counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion
or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may be based
on the written opinion of other counsel, in which event such Opinion of Counsel shall be
accompanied by a copy of such other counsel’s opinion and shall include a statement to the effect
that such counsel believes that such counsel and the Trustee may reasonably rely upon the opinion
of such other counsel.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests,
consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Agreement, they may,
but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.
Wherever in this Agreement, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, it is provided that the Depositor shall deliver any
document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of compliance with any
term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such
113
application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of
the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the
right of the Depositor to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate
or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the right of the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion
contained in any such document as provided in Section 10.01.
Whenever in this Agreement it is provided that the absence of the occurrence and continuation
of a Default or Event of Default or Deficiency Event is a condition precedent to the taking of any
action by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator at the request or direction of the Depositor,
then, notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the
Depositor’s right to make such request or direction, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator
shall be protected in acting in accordance with such request or direction if it does not have
knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of such Default or Event of Default or Deficiency
Event as provided in Section 10.01.
SECTION 16.02. Acts of Certificateholders.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Certificateholders may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such
Certificateholders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are
delivered to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and, where it is hereby expressly required,
to the Depositor. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Certificateholders signing such
instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing
any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and (subject to Section 10.01)
conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, if made in the
manner provided in this Section.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be
proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of any notary public
or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual
signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever such
execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on behalf of such
corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of
his authority.
(c) The ownership of Certificates shall be proved by the Certificate Register.
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by
the Holder of any Certificates shall bind the Holder of every Certificate issued upon the
registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything
done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor
in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificates.
114
SECTION 16.03. Notices, etc. to Trustee, Securities Administrator and Depositor.
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of
Certificateholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Agreement to be made upon,
given or furnished to, or filed with
(1) the Trustee by the Securities Administrator or by any Certificateholder or by the
Depositor shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed
in writing to or with and received by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or
(2) the Securities Administrator by the Trustee or by any Certificateholder or by the
Depositor shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed
in writing to or with and received by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or
(3) the Depositor by the Trustee or by the Securities Administrator or by any
Certificateholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (except as provided in
Section 11.01(1) or Section 11.01(2)) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid,
to the Depositor addressed to it at , Attention:
or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator by the Depositor.
SECTION 16.04. Notices and Reports to Certificateholders; Waiver of Notices.
Where this Agreement provides for notice to Certificateholders of any event or the mailing of
any report to Certificateholders, such notice or report shall be sufficiently given (unless
otherwise herein expressly provided) if mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each
Certificateholder affected by such event or to whom such report is required to be mailed, at the
address of such Certificateholder as it appears on the Certificate Register, not later than the
latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice or
the mailing of such report. In any case where a notice or report to Certificateholders is mailed
in the manner provided above, neither the failure to mail such notice or report, nor any defect in
any notice or report so mailed, to any particular Certificateholder shall affect the sufficiency of
such notice or report with respect to other Certificateholders, and any notice or report which is
mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given or
provided.
Where this Agreement provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing
by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver
shall be filed with the Securities Administrator, but such filing shall not be a condition
precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work
stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to
Certificateholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Securities
Administrator shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.
115
Where this Agreement provides for notice to any rating agency that rated the Regular
Certificates, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations as
created hereunder.
SECTION 16.05. Rules by Securities Administrator and Agents.
The Securities Administrator may make reasonable rules for any meeting of Certificateholders.
Any agent of the Securities Administrator may make reasonable rules and set reasonable requirements
for its functions.
SECTION 16.06. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.
The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and
shall not affect the construction hereof.
SECTION 16.07. Successors and Assigns.
All covenants and agreements in this Agreement by the Depositor shall bind its successors and
assigns, whether so expressed or not.
SECTION 16.08. Separability.
In case any provision in this Agreement or in any Certificates shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 16.09. Benefits of Agreement.
Nothing in this Agreement or in any Certificate, expressed or implied, shall give to any
Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any separate trustee or
co-trustee appointed under Section 10.13 and the Certificateholders, any benefit or any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement.
SECTION 16.10. Legal Holidays.
In any case where the date of any Distribution Date, Special Distribution Date, Deficiency
Distribution Date or any other date on which a distribution of principal of or interest on any
Certificate is proposed to be made, or any date on which a notice is required to be sent to any
Person pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding
any other provision of any of the Certificates or this Agreement) payment or mailing need not be
made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and
effect as if made or mailed on the nominal date of any such Distribution Date, Special Distribution
Date, Deficiency Distribution Date, other date for the distribution of principal of or interest on
any Certificate, or the mailing of such notice, as the case may be, and, in the case of a
distribution to be made on a Certificate, no interest shall accrue for the period from and after
any such nominal date, provided such distribution is made in full on such next succeeding Business
Day.
116
SECTION 16.11. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement
or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an
accounting or to take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding
up of the Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties
hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided in Section 8.03, 10.10,
11.01, 11.02, 12.07 or 14.02) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of
the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or
contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders
from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be
under any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this
Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provisions of
this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or
with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee and
the Securities Administrator a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as
hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of Regular Certificates of any Class evidencing
Current Principal Amounts aggregating not less than 25% of the Aggregate Current Principal Amount
of such Class or Holders of Residual Certificates evidencing Percentage interests aggregating not
less than 25% shall have made written request upon the Trustee and the Securities Administrator to
institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee or Securities Administrator
hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator such reasonable
indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or
thereby, the Securities Administrator, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and
offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or
proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Securities
Administrator during such 60-day period by the Holders of Certificates representing more than 50%
of the Aggregate Current Principal Amount (or Percentage interest in the case of Residual
Certificates) of such Class; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by
each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Securities Administrator, that no
one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by
availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority
over or preference to any other such Holder other than as contemplated hereby, or to enforce any
right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and
common benefit of all Holders of Certificates of the same Class. For the protection and
enforcement of the provisions of this Section 14.11, each and every Certificateholder and the
Securities Administrator shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.
117
SECTION 16.12. Governing Law.
This Agreement and each Certificate shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the
laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed therein.
SECTION 16.13. Counterparts.
This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall
be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.
SECTION 16.14. Recording of Agreement.
This Agreement is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such
recording to be effected by the Depositor and at its expense.
SECTION 16.15. Corporate Obligations.
No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, against any incorporator, subscriber to the
capital stock, stockholder, employee, officer or director of the Depositor or the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator or of any predecessor or successor of the Depositor or the Trustee with
respect to the obligations of the Depositor or the Trustee or the Securities Administrator under
this Agreement or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith.
SECTION 16.16. Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid.
It is the intention of the parties hereto that Certificateholders shall not be personally
liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests represented by the Certificates shall
be nonassessable for any losses or expenses of the Trust Fund or for any reason whatsoever, and
that Certificates upon execution and delivery thereof by the Securities Administrator and
authentication by the Certificate Registrar are and shall be deemed fully paid.
SECTION 16.17. REMIC Treatment.
The provisions of 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 until all Certificates are retired
