If a transfer of any interest in a Rule 144A Global Security is to be made without registration under the Securities Act to a Person who will take delivery of such interest in the form of Regulation S Global Security, then the Security Owner desiring to effect such transfer shall be required to deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E-1 to the Agreement, or (ii) such written orders and instructions as are required under the applicable procedures of the Depository, Clearstream and Euroclear to direct the Trustee to debit the account

of a Depository Participant by a denomination of interests in such Rule 144A Global Security, and credit the account of a Depository Participant by a denomination of interests in such Regulation S Global Security, that is equal to the denomination of beneficial interests in the Subclass of Securities to be transferred. Upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar of such certification and such orders and instructions, the Trustee, subject to and in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository, shall reduce the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Security in respect of the applicable Subclass of Securities and increase the denomination of the Regulation S Global Security for such Subclass by the denomination of the beneficial interest in such Subclass specified in such orders and instructions. If a transfer of any interest in a Rule 144A Global Security is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, the Security Owner desiring to effect such transfer shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that all the certifications set forth in Exhibit E-1 hereto are, with respect to the subject Transfer, true and correct.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest in a Rule 144A Global Security with respect to any Subclass of Book-Entry Securities may be transferred by any Security Owner holding such interest to any Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Qualified Institutional Buyer) that takes delivery in the form of a Definitive security of the same Subclass as such Rule 144A Global Security upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee of (i) such certifications and/or opinions as are contemplated by the fourth paragraph of Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement and (ii) such written orders and instructions as are required under the applicable procedures of the Depository to direct the Trustee to debit the account of a Depository Participant by the denomination of the transferred interests in such Rule 144A Global Security. Upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar of the certifications and/or opinions contemplated by the fourth paragraph of Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement the Trustee, subject to and accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository, shall reduce the denomination of the subject Rule 144A Global Security by the denomination of the transferred interests in such Rule 144A Global Security, and shall cause a Definitive security of the same Subclass as such Rule 144A Global Security, and in a denomination equal to the reduction in the denomination of such Rule 144A Global Security, to be executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the Agreement to the applicable Transferee.
Except as provided in the next paragraph, no beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security for any Subclass of Book-Entry Securities shall be transferred to any Person who takes delivery other than in the form of a beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Security. On and prior to the Release Date, the Security Owner desiring to effect any Transfer to any Person who takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security for such Subclass of Securities shall be required to deliver to the Trustee a written certification substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit E-1 hereto including such written orders and instructions as are required under the applicable procedures of the Depository, Clearstream and Euroclear to direct the Trustee to debit the account of a Depository Participant by a denomination of interests in such Regulation S Global Security, and credit the account of a Depository Participant by a denomination of interests in such Rule 144A Global Security, that is equal to the denomination of beneficial interests in the Subclass of Securities to be transferred. Upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar of such certification and orders and instructions, the Trustee, subject to and in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository, shall reduce the denomination of the Regulation S Global Security in respect of the applicable Subclass of Securities and increase the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Security for such Subclass by the denomination of the beneficial interest in such
-7-
Subclass specified in such orders and instructions. On or prior to the Release Date, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Security for each Subclass of Book-Entry Securities may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream. The Regulation S Global Security for each Subclass of Book-Entry Securities shall be deposited with the Trustee as custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depository.
None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar shall be obligated to register or qualify any Subclass of Securities under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of any Security or interest therein without registration or qualification.
With regard to a Security, no transfer of any such Security or interest therein shall be made to any, Person unless Person represents that represents that either (A) it is not (i) an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section (3) of ERISA that is subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan, individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or provisions under any other U.S. or non-U.S. federal, state, local or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code (collectively, “Similar Laws”), (iii) an entity whose underlying assets are deemed to constitute the assets of any of the foregoing described in clauses (i) and (ii) pursuant to ERISA or otherwise (each of the foregoing described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to as a “Plan”), or (iv) a person who is directly or indirectly purchasing or holding such Offered Securities or any interest therein on behalf of, as fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of, any Plan or (B) its purchase, holding and disposition of such Offered Securities or and any interest therein will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a similar violation of any applicable Similar Laws. Each Transferee of a Definitive security must provide the required representation and warranty, and each Transferee of an interest in a Book-Entry Security will be deemed to have the representation and warrant, in the preceding sentence. No transfer of any Security shall be made to any Person except in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph.
No service charge will be imposed for any transfer or exchange of this Security, but the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of this Security.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Security is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Security shall be made through the book-entry facilities of DTC, and accordingly, this Security shall constitute a Book-Entry Security.
The Agreement may be amended from time to time by the mutual agreement of the parties thereto, with the consent of the Holders of Securities entitled to not less than 51% of the Voting Rights allocated to each of the affected Classes, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received or advanced on the Mortgage Loan and/or any REO Properties which are required to be distributed

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Agreement, Securities registered in the name of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting Rights with respect to the matters described above as they would if registered in the name of any other Person. The Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to the Agreement unless it shall first have obtained or been furnished with an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment, or, if such amendment is requested by the Trustee with the consent of the Depositor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), at the expense of the Trust Fund) to the effect that neither such amendment nor the exercise of any power granted to any party thereto in accordance with such amendment will result in an Adverse Tax Status Event. In addition, prior to the execution of any amendment to the Agreement, the Trustee and the Servicer shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by the Agreement. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the holders of any of the Securities.
