written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.

(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of any Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate until its receipt of, (I) an affidavit and agreement (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement,” in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-1) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and warranting, among other things, that it is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 3.05 and agrees to be bound by them, and (II) a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-2, from the Certificateholder of a Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate wishing to transfer the Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and warranting, among other things, that no purpose of the proposed Transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar who is assigned to this Agreement has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in a Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it provides a certificate to the Certificate Registrar in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-2.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the Certificate Registrar written notice that it is a “pass-through interest holder” within the meaning of Temporary Treasury Regulations Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate, if it is, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate on behalf of, a “pass-through interest holder.”
(ii) The Certificate Registrar will register the Transfer of any Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement, a certificate of the Certificateholder of a Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate requesting such transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-2 and all of such other documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Certificate Registrar as a condition to such registration. Transfers of the Class A-R Certificates to Non-United States Persons and Disqualified Organizations (as defined in Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code) are prohibited.
(iii) (A) If any Disqualified Organization shall become a holder of a Class A-R Certificate, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Certificateholder of a Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Class A-R Certificate. If a Non-United States Person shall become a holder of a Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate, then the last preceding United States Person shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Certificateholder of a Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate. If a transfer of a Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate is disregarded pursuant to the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1 or Section 1.860G-3, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Certificateholder of a Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate. The Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.05 or for making any
payments due on such Certificate to the holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such holder under the provisions of this Agreement.
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Certificateholder of a Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 3.05 and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the Certificateholder of such Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Certificate Registrar shall have the right, without notice to the holder or any prior holder of such Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate, to sell such Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Certificate Registrar on such terms as the Certificate Registrar may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Certificate Registrar. Such purchaser may be the Servicer itself or any Affiliate of the Servicer. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Servicer or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Certificate Registrar to such purported Transferee. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.
(iv) The Certificate Paying Agent shall make available, upon written request from the Internal Revenue Service and any potentially affected Person, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including the information regarding “excess inclusions” of such Class A-R Certificates required to be provided to the Internal Revenue Service and certain Persons as described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5), and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in a Class G, Class A-R or Class A-RL Certificate having as among its record holders at any time any Person who is a Disqualified Organization. Reasonable compensation for providing such information may be required by the REMIC Administrator before it will provide such information to any such potentially affected Person.
(v) The provisions of this Section 3.05 set forth prior to this clause (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to the Owner Trustee the following:
(A) written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect that the modification, addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current ratings, if any, if determined without regard to the Policy, of any Class of the Notes below the lower of the then-current rating or the rating assigned to such Notes as of the Closing Date by such Rating Agency, if determined without regard to the Policy; and
(B) subject to Section 10.01(f), an Officers’ Certificate of the Trust Administrator stating that the Trust Administrator has received an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trust Administrator, to the effect that such modification, addition to or absence of such provisions will not cause any portion of either of the REMICs to cease to qualify as a REMIC and will not cause (x) any portion of either of the REMICs to be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Class A-R Certificate to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or (y) a Certificateholder or another Person to be subject to a REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a Class A-R Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.
Section 3.06 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and the Trust from harm, then in the absence of notice to the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Owner Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust and the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Paying Agent, as the Trust’s authenticating agent, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.06, the Owner Trustee 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 connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall constitute conclusive evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 3.07 Persons Deemed Certificateholders. Prior to due presentation of the Certificates for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any Certificate Paying Agent may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any Certificate Paying Agent shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.
Section 3.08 Access to Certificateholders’ Name and Addresses. The Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Depositor or the Owner Trustee, within 15 days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a written request therefor from the Depositor or the Owner Trustee, a list, in such form as the Depositor or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. Each Certificateholder, by receiving and holding the Certificates, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Trust, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
Section 3.09 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Certificate Registrar shall maintain in the City of New York an office or offices or agency or agencies where the Certificates
may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Trust in respect of the Certificates and the Basic Documents may be served. The Certificate Registrar initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trust Administrator as its office for such purposes. The Trust Administrator shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor and the Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.
Section 3.10 Certificate Paying Agent. (a) The Certificate Paying Agent shall make distributions to the Certificateholders from the Certificate Distribution Account on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the provisions of the Certificates and Section 5.01 hereof from payments remitted to the Certificate Paying Agent by the Trust Administrator pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Indenture. The Trust hereby appoints the Trust Administrator as Certificate Paying Agent. The Certificate Paying Agent shall:
(i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Certificates in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;
(ii) give the Owner Trustee notice of any default by the Trust of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Certificates;
(iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default by the Trust, upon the written request of the Owner Trustee forthwith pay to the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust all sums held in trust by the Certificate Paying Agent pursuant to clause (i) above;
(iv) immediately resign as Certificate Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust all sums held by it in trust for the payment of the Certificates if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by the Certificate Paying Agent at the time of its appointment;
(v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on the Certificates of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith; and
(vi) deliver to the Owner Trustee a copy of the report to Certificateholders prepared with respect to each Payment Date by the Trust Administrator.
(b) The Trust may revoke such power and remove the Certificate Paying Agent if the Owner Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the Certificate Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Trust Agreement in any material respect. Any removal of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Certificate Paying Agent shall result in the removal of JPMorgan Chase Bank as Trust Administrator, Administrator and Master Servicer under the Basic Documents. The Trust Administrator shall be permitted to resign as Certificate Paying Agent upon 30 days written notice to the Owner Trustee; provided the Trust Administrator is also resigning as Paying Agent and Trust Administrator under the Indenture at such time as well as Master Servicer under the Servicing Agreement and as Administrator under the Administration Agreement. In the event that the Trust Administrator shall no longer be the
Certificate Paying Agent under this Trust Agreement and Paying Agent under the Indenture, the Owner Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Certificate Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company) and which shall also be the successor Paying Agent under the Indenture. The Owner Trustee shall cause such successor Certificate Paying Agent or any additional Certificate Paying Agent appointed by the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an instrument to the effect set forth in this Section 3.10 as it relates to the Certificate Paying Agent. The Certificate Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Trust and upon removal of a Certificate Paying Agent such Certificate Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Trust. The provisions of Sections 6.01, 6.04, 6.05, 6.06, 6.07, 7.01 and 7.02 shall apply to the Certificate Paying Agent to the extent applicable. Any reference in this Trust Agreement to the Certificate Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.
(c) The Certificate Paying Agent shall establish and maintain with itself the Certificate Distribution Account in which the Certificate Paying Agent shall deposit, on the same day as it is received from the Trust Administrator, each remittance received by the Certificate Paying Agent with respect to payments made pursuant to the Indenture. The Certificate Paying Agent shall make all distributions on the Certificates from moneys on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account.
Section 3.11 Subordination. Except as otherwise provided in the Basic Documents, for so long as any Notes are outstanding or unpaid, the Certificateholders will generally be subordinated in right of payment, under the Certificates or otherwise, to payments to the Noteholders under, or otherwise related to, the Indenture. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture, the Certificates will be fully subordinated to obligations owing by the Trust to the Noteholders under, or otherwise related to, the Indenture, and no distributions will be made on the Certificates until the Noteholders, the Master Servicer, the Administrator and the Trust Administrator have been irrevocably paid in full.

(b) In the exercise or administration of the Trust hereunder and in the performance of its duties and obligations under this Trust Agreement or the Basic Documents, the Owner Trustee (i) may act directly or through its agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees (including persons acting under a power of attorney) pursuant to agreements entered into with any of them, and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the conduct or misconduct of such agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees (including persons acting under a power of attorney) if such persons have been selected by the Owner Trustee with reasonable care, and (ii) may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected with reasonable care and employed by it at the expense of the Trust.

The Owner Trustee shall at all times be a corporation satisfying the provisions of Section 3807(a) of the Statutory Trust Statute; authorized to exercise corporate trust powers; having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities; and having (or having a parent that has) long term debt obligations with a rating of at least A (or the equivalent) by Standard & Poor’s, Fitch and/or Moody’s. If such corporation shall publish reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.01, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.02.
Section 9.02 Replacement of Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving 30 days prior written notice thereof to the Depositor and the Trust Administrator. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Trust Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and to the successor Owner Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee or any Certificateholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.
If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.01 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Trust Administrator, or if at any time the Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor shall remove the Owner Trustee. If the Depositor shall remove the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee, and shall pay all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.03 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.
Section 9.03 Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 9.02 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Trust Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective, and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Trust Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Trust Agreement; and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 9.03 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.01.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section 9.03, the successor Owner Trustee shall mail notice thereof to all Certificateholders, the Trust Administrator, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies.
Section 9.04 Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Any Person into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, that such Person shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.01 and, provided, further, that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation to the Rating Agencies.
Section 9.05 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Owner Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Owner Trustee shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or as separate trustee or trustees, of all or any part of the Owner Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Owner Trust Estate or any part thereof and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Owner Trustee
may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Trust Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.01 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 9.03.
Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(a) All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Owner Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;
(b) No trustee under this Trust Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Trust Agreement; and
(c) The Owner Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Trust Agreement and the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Trust Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Trust Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Trust Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor co-trustee or separate trustee.

(hereinafter called the “Depositor” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement referred to below)][the distribution allocable to the Certificates of the above-referenced Class with respect to certain Loans (the “Loans”)].
This Certificate is payable solely from [certain Loans that are initially][the] assets of the Trust Estate, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Owner Trustee or any of their affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor any of the Loans is guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Owner Trustee or any of their affiliates. None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Owner Trustee, or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
This certifies that [__________________] is the registered owner of the Certificate Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate (as set forth on the face hereof) in certain distributions with respect to the Trust Estate, consisting primarily of the Loans conveyed by the Depositor. The Trust Estate (as defined herein) was created pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated November 4, 2005 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Agreement”) between the Depositor and Wilmington Trust Company, as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the such holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the “Payment Date”), commencing on the first Payment Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day (or if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such last day) of the month immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the “Record Date”)[, in an amount equal to the pro rata portion evidenced by this Certificate (based on the Certificate Percentage Interest stated on the face hereof) of the Class X-[1][S] Certificate Distribution Amount required to be distributed to the registered holder of this Certificate on such Payment Date].

provisions of any subsequent enactments) and will not subject the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Certificate Registrar to any obligation or liability in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement.

[The Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that its rights to receive distributions in respect of this Certificate are subordinated to the rights of the Noteholders as described in the Indenture, dated as of November 4, 2005, between Home Equity Mortgage Trust 2005-HF1 (the “Trust”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Trust Administrator (the “Trust Administrator”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as Indenture Trustee (the “Indenture”).]
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, covenants and agrees that such Certificateholder will not, prior to the day one year and one day after the date the Trust Agreement terminates, institute against the Depositor or the Trust, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Trust of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Certificates, the Notes, the Agreement or any of the Basic Documents.
The Agreement permits the amendment thereof as specified below, provided that any amendment be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the Owner Trustee to the effect that such amendment complies with the provisions of the Agreement and will not cause the Trust to be subject to an entity level tax. If the purpose of the amendment is to correct any mistake, eliminate any inconsistency, cure any ambiguity or deal with any matter not covered, it shall not be necessary to obtain the consent of any Securityholder, but the Owner Trustee shall be furnished with a letter from the Rating Agencies that the amendment will not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the rating then assigned to any of the Notes. If the purpose of the amendment is to prevent the imposition of any federal or state taxes at any time that any Security is outstanding, it shall not be necessary to obtain the consent of any Securityholder, but the Owner Trustee shall be furnished with an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment is necessary or helpful to prevent the imposition of such taxes and is not materially adverse to any Securityholder. If the purpose of the amendment is to add or eliminate or change any provision of the Agreement, other than as specified in the preceding two sentences, the amendment shall require either (a) a letter from the Rating Agencies that the amendment will not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the rating then assigned to any of the Notes or (b) the consent of the Certificateholders and the Trust Administrator; provided, however, that no such amendment
shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the time of, payments received that are required to be distributed on the Certificates without the consent of the Certificateholders, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid Certificate Percentage Interest required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of 100% of the Certificate Percentage Interest.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar maintained in the City of and State of New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the registered holder of this Certificate or the such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the Agreement is the Trust Administrator.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent, or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the final distribution of all moneys or other property or proceeds of the Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Agreement or (ii) the Final Maturity Date.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, or an authenticating agent by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and not in its individual capacity, has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

evidencing percentage interest in the distribution allocable to the certificates of the above-referenced Class with respect to a Trust Estate evidenced by the loans created by CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON MORTGAGE ACCEPTANCE CORP. (hereinafter called the “Depositor” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement referred to below).
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Estate, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Owner Trustee or any of their affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor any of the Loans is guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Owner Trustee or any of their affiliates. None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Owner Trustee, or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
This certifies that [_________________] is the registered owner of the Certificate Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate (as set forth on the face hereof) in certain distributions with respect to the Trust Estate, consisting primarily of the Loans conveyed by the Depositor. The Trust Estate (as defined herein) was created pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated November 4, 2005 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Agreement”) between the Depositor and Wilmington Trust Company, as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the such holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the “Payment Date”), commencing on the first Payment Date specified above, to the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day (or if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such last day) of the month immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the “Record Date”), in an amount equal to the pro rata portion evidenced by this Certificate (based on the Certificate Percentage Interest stated on the face hereof) of the Class [A-R][A-RL] Certificate Distribution Amount required to be distributed to the registered holder of this Certificate on such Payment Date. Distributions on this Certificate will be made as provided in the Agreement by the Certificate Paying Agent by wire transfer or check mailed to the Certificateholders of record in the Certificate Register without the presentation or surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation hereon.
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Certificate Paying Agent of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency maintained by the Certificate Registrar for that purpose in the City and State of New York.
Each Certificateholder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the restrictions set forth in the Agreement to the effect that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee, (ii) the transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate will be conditioned upon the delivery to the Trust Administrator of, among other things, an affidavit to the effect that it is a United States Person and Permitted Transferee, (iii) any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the purported transferee, and (iv) if any person other than a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions, then the Depositor will have the right, in its sole discretion and without notice to the Certificateholder of this Certificate, to sell this Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Depositor, which purchaser may be the Depositor, or any affiliate of the Depositor, on such terms and conditions as the Depositor may choose.
In connection with any transfer of this Certificate, the Certificate Registrar (unless otherwise directed by the Depositor) will require either (i) a representation letter, in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the Agreement, stating that the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction restrictions or the fiduciary responsibility requirements of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Plan”), any person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such plan or any person using the “plan assets,” within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulations at 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101, to effect such acquisition (collectively, a “Plan Investor”) or (ii) if such transferee is a Plan Investor, an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar to the effect that the purchase or holding of this Certificate is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments) and will not subject the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Certificate Registrar to any obligation or liability in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized Certificate designated as Home Equity Mortgage Trust 2005-HF1, Home Equity Loan-Backed Certificates, Class [A-R][A-RL], of the Series specified hereon. All terms used in this Certificate which are defined in the Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account that have been released from the Lien of the Indenture for payment hereunder and that neither the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity nor the Depositor is personally liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, covenants and agrees that such Certificateholder will not, prior to the day one year and one day after the date this Trust Agreement terminates, institute against the Depositor or the Trust, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Trust of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Certificates, the Notes, the Agreement or any of the Basic Documents.
The Agreement permits the amendment thereof as specified below, provided that any amendment be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the Owner Trustee to the effect that such amendment complies with the provisions of the Agreement and will not cause the Trust to be subject to an entity level tax. If the purpose of the amendment is to correct any mistake, eliminate any inconsistency, cure any ambiguity or deal with any matter not covered, it shall not be necessary to obtain the consent of any Securityholder, but the Owner Trustee shall be furnished with a letter from the Rating Agencies that the amendment will not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the rating then assigned to any of the Notes. If the purpose of the amendment is to prevent the imposition of any federal or state taxes at any time that any Security is outstanding, it shall not be necessary to obtain the consent of any Securityholder, but the Owner Trustee shall be furnished with an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment is necessary or helpful to prevent the imposition of such taxes and is not materially adverse to any Securityholder. If the purpose of the amendment is to add or eliminate or change any provision of the Agreement, other than as specified in the preceding two sentences, the amendment shall require either (a) a letter from the Rating Agencies that the amendment will not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the rating then assigned to any of the Notes or (b) the consent of the Certificateholders and the Trust Administrator; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the time of, payments received that are required to be distributed on the Certificates without the consent of the Certificateholders, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid Certificate Percentage Interest required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of 100% of the Certificate Percentage Interest.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar maintained in the City of and State of New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the registered holder of
this Certificate or the such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the Agreement is the Trust Administrator.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent, or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the final distribution of all moneys or other property or proceeds of the Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Agreement or (ii) the Final Maturity Date.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, or an authenticating agent by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and not in its individual capacity, has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

2. Home Equity Loan-Backed Certificate, Series 2005-HF1, Class [G][A-R][A-RL] (the “Owner”)), a [savings institution] [corporation] duly organized and existing under the laws of [the State of ] [the United States], on behalf of which he makes this affidavit and agreement.
3. That the Owner (i) is not and will not be a “disqualified organization” or an electing large partnership as of [date of transfer] within the meaning of Sections 860E(e)(5) and 775, respectively, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or an electing large partnership under Section 775(a) of the Code, (ii) will endeavor to remain other than a disqualified organization for so long as it retains its ownership interest in the Class [G][A-R][A-RL] Certificates, and (iii) is acquiring the Class [G][A-R][A-RL] Certificates for its own account or for the account of another Owner from which it has received an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. (For this purpose, a “disqualified organization” means an electing large partnership under Section 775 of the Code, the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality all of the activities of which are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose board of directors is not selected by any such governmental entity) or any foreign government, international organization or any agency or instrumentality of such foreign government or organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative, or any organization (other than certain farmers’ cooperatives) that is generally exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on unrelated business taxable income).
4. That the Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on transfers of Class [G][A-R][A-RL] Certificates to disqualified organizations or electing large partnerships, under the Code, that applies to all transfers of Class [G][A-R][A-RL] Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor (or, with respect to transfers to electing large partnerships, on each such partnership), or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a disqualified organization, on the agent; (iii) that the person (other than with respect to transfers to electing large partnerships) otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such person an affidavit that the transferee is not a disqualified organization and, at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that the Class [G][A-R][A-RL] Certificates may be “noneconomic residual interests” within the meaning of Treasury
regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
5. That the Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding Class [G][A-R][A-RL] Certificates if either the pass-through entity is an electing large partnership under Section 775 of the Code if at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a disqualified organization is the record holder of an interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a “pass through entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)
6. The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof (except in the case of a partnership, to the extent provided in Treasury regulations), or an estate that is described in Section 7701(a)(30)(D) of the Code, or a trust that is described in Section 7701(a)(30)(E) of the Code.
7. That the Owner is aware that the Certificate Registrar will not register the transfer of any Class [G][A-R][A-RL] Certificates unless the transferee, or the transferee’s agent, delivers to it an affidavit and agreement, among other things, in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Owner expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that any of the representations contained in such affidavit and agreement are false.
8. That the Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face of the Class [G][A-R][A-RL] Certificates and the provisions of Section 3.05 of the Trust Agreement under which the Class [G][A-R][A-RL] Certificates were issued (in particular, clause (i)(A) and (i)(B) of Section 3.05 which authorize the Certificate Registrar to deliver payments to a person other than the Owner and negotiate a mandatory sale by the Trust Administrator in the event the Owner holds such Certificates in violation of Section 3.05). The Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such restrictions and provisions.
9. That the Owner consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class [G][A-R][A-RL] Certificates will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is not a disqualified organization.
10. |
The Owner’s Taxpayer Identification Number is ________________________ |

11. This affidavit and agreement relates only to the Class [G][A-R][A-RL] Certificates held by the Owner and not to any other holder of the Class [G][A-R][A-RL] Certificates. The Owner understands that the liabilities described herein relate only to the Class [G][A-R][A-RL] Certificates.
12. That no purpose of the Owner relating to the transfer of any of the Class [G][A-R][A-RL] Certificates by the Owner is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.
13. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the Certificates remain outstanding. In this regard, the Owner hereby represents to and for the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class [G][A-R][A-RL] Certificate that the Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class [G][A-R][A-RL] Certificate as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class [G][A-R][A-RL] Certificate.
14. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as any of the Class [G][A-R][A-RL] Certificates remain outstanding.
15. The Purchaser is not an employee benefit plan or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or an investment manager, named fiduciary or a trustee of any such plan, or any other Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with “plan assets” of any such plan.

Home Equity Mortgage Trust 2005-HF1, Home Equity Loan-Backed Certificate, Series 2005-HF1, Class [G][A-R][A-RL] |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by (the “Seller”) to (the “Purchaser”) of a [__]% Percentage Interest in the Home Equity Mortgage Trust 2005-HF1, Home Equity Loan-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-HF1, Class [G][A-R][A-RL] (the “Certificates”), pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”), dated as of November 4, 2005, between Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Acceptance Corp., as seller (the “Company”), and Wilmington Trust Company, as owner trustee (the “Trustee”). All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Trust Agreement. The Seller hereby certifies, represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company and the Trustee that:
1. No purpose of the Seller relating to the transfer of the Certificate by the Seller to the Purchaser is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.
2. The Seller understands that the Purchaser has delivered to the Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer a transfer affidavit and agreement in the form attached to the Trust Agreement as Exhibit J-1. The Seller does not know or believe that any representation contained therein is false.
3. The Seller has at the time of the transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Purchaser as contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Seller has determined that the Purchaser has historically paid its debts as they become due and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Purchaser will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Seller understands that the transfer of a Class [G][A-R][A-RL] Certificate may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Seller may continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Seller has conducted such an investigation.
4. The Seller has no actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not both a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee.
Very truly yours,

evidencing percentage interest in the distribution allocable to the certificates of the above-referenced Class with respect to a Trust Estate evidenced by the loans created by CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON MORTGAGE ACCEPTANCE CORP. (hereinafter called the “Depositor” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement referred to below).
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Estate, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Owner Trustee or any of their affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor any of the Loans is guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Owner Trustee or any of their affiliates. None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Owner Trustee, or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
This certifies that [____________________] is the registered owner of the Certificate Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate (as set forth on the face hereof) in certain distributions with respect to the Trust Estate, consisting primarily of the Loans conveyed by the Depositor. The Trust Estate (as defined herein) was created pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated November 4, 2005 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Agreement”) between the Depositor and Wilmington Trust Company, as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the such holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the “Payment Date”), commencing on the first Payment Date specified above, to the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day (or if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such last day) of the related Accrual Period (the “Record Date”), in an amount equal to the pro rata portion evidenced by this Certificate (based on the Certificate Percentage Interest stated on the face hereof) of the Class G Certificate Distribution Amount required to be distributed to the registered holder of this Certificate on such Payment Date. Distributions on this Certificate will be made as provided in the Agreement by the Certificate Paying Agent by wire transfer or check mailed to the Certificateholders of record in the Certificate Register without the presentation or surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation hereon.
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Certificate Paying Agent of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency maintained by the Certificate Registrar for that purpose in the City and State of New York.
Each Certificateholder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the restrictions set forth in the Agreement to the effect that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee, (ii) the transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate will be conditioned upon the delivery to the Trust Administrato of, among other things, an affidavit to the effect that it is a United States Person and Permitted Transferee, (iii) any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the purported transferee, and (iv) if any person other than a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions, then the Depositor will have the right, in its sole discretion and without notice to the Certificateholder of this Certificate, to sell this Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Depositor, which purchaser may be the Depositor, or any affiliate of the Depositor, on such terms and conditions as the Depositor may choose.
No transfer of this Certificate will 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, (i) the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor may require an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor that such transfer is exempt (describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor) from or is being made pursuant to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and of any applicable statute of any state and (ii) the transferee shall execute an investment letter in the form described in the Agreement and (iii) the Certificate Registrar shall require the transferee to execute an investment letter in the form described by the Agreement, which investment letter shall not be at the expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor. If a Certificateholder desires to effect such transfer, it shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Certificate Registrar 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. In connection with any transfer of this Certificate, the Certificate Registrar (unless otherwise directed by the Depositor) will require either (i) a representation
letter, in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the Agreement, stating that the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction restrictions or the fiduciary responsibility requirements of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Plan”), any person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such plan or any person using the “plan assets,” within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulations at 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101, to effect such acquisition (collectively, a “Plan Investor”) or (ii) if such transferee is a Plan Investor, an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar to the effect that the purchase or holding of this Certificate is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments) and will not subject the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Certificate Registrar to any obligation or liability in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized Certificate designated as Home Equity Mortgage Trust 2005-HF1, Home Equity Loan-Backed Certificates, Class G, of the Series specified hereon. All terms used in this Certificate which are defined in the Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account that have been released from the Lien of the Indenture for payment hereunder and that neither the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity nor the Depositor is personally liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, covenants and agrees that such Certificateholder will not, prior to the day one year and one day after the date this Trust Agreement terminates, institute against the Depositor or the Trust, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Trust of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Certificates, the Notes, the Agreement or any of the Basic Documents.
The Agreement permits the amendment thereof as specified below, provided that any amendment be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the Owner Trustee to the effect that such amendment complies with the provisions of the Agreement and will not cause the Trust to be subject to an entity level tax. If the purpose of the amendment is to correct any mistake, eliminate any inconsistency, cure any ambiguity or deal with any matter not covered, it shall not be necessary to obtain the consent of any Securityholder, but the Owner Trustee shall be furnished with a letter from the Rating Agencies that the amendment will not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the rating then assigned to any of the Notes. If the purpose of the amendment is to prevent the imposition of any federal or state taxes at any time that any Security is outstanding, it shall not be necessary to obtain the consent of any Securityholder, but the Owner Trustee shall be furnished with an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment is necessary or helpful to prevent the imposition of such taxes and is not materially adverse to any Securityholder. If the purpose of the amendment is to add or eliminate or change any provision
of the Agreement, other than as specified in the preceding two sentences, the amendment shall require either (a) a letter from the Rating Agencies that the amendment will not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the rating then assigned to any of the Notes or (b) the consent of the Certificateholders and the Trust Administrator; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the time of, payments received that are required to be distributed on the Certificates without the consent of the Certificateholders, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid Certificate Percentage Interest required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of 100% of the Certificate Percentage Interest.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar maintained in the City of and State of New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the registered holder of this Certificate or the such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the Agreement is the Trust Administrator.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent, or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the final distribution of all moneys or other property or proceeds of the Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Agreement or (ii) the Final Maturity Date.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, or an authenticating agent by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and not in its individual capacity, has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the such holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the “Payment Date”), commencing on the first Payment Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day (or if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such last day) of
the month immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the “Record Date”), in an amount equal to the pro rata portion evidenced by this Certificate (based on the Certificate Percentage Interest stated on the face hereof) of the Class P Certificate Distribution Amount required to be distributed to the registered holder of this Certificate on such Payment Date. Distributions on this Certificate will be made as provided in the Agreement by the Certificate Paying Agent by wire transfer or check mailed to the Certificateholders of record in the Certificate Register without the presentation or surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation hereon.
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Certificate Paying Agent of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency maintained by the Certificate Registrar for that purpose in the City and State of New York.
No transfer of this Certificate will 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, (i) the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor may require an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor that such transfer is exempt (describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor) from or is being made pursuant to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and of any applicable statute of any state and (ii) the transferee shall execute an investment letter in the form described in the Agreement and (iii) the Certificate Registrar shall require the transferee to execute an investment letter in the form described by the Agreement, which investment letter shall not be at the expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor. If a Certificateholder desires to effect such transfer, it shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Certificate Registrar 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. In connection with any transfer of this Certificate, the Certificate Registrar (unless otherwise directed by the Depositor) will require either (i) a representation letter, in the form of Exhibit F to the Agreement, stating that the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction restrictions or the fiduciary responsibility requirements of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Plan”), any person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such plan or any person using the “plan assets,” within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulations at 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101, to effect such acquisition (collectively, a “Plan Investor”) or (ii) if such transferee is a Plan Investor, an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar to the effect that the purchase or holding of this Certificate is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments) and will not subject the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Certificate Registrar to any obligation or liability in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized Certificate designated as Home Equity Mortgage Trust 2005-HF1, Home Equity Loan-Backed Certificates, Class P, of the Series specified hereon. All terms used in this Certificate which are defined in the Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account that have been released from the Lien of the Indenture for payment hereunder and that neither the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity nor the Depositor is personally liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, covenants and agrees that such Certificateholder will not, prior to the day one year and one day after the date the Trust Agreement terminates, institute against the Depositor or the Trust, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Trust of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Certificates, the Notes, the Agreement or any of the Basic Documents.
The Agreement permits the amendment thereof as specified below, provided that any amendment be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the Owner Trustee to the effect that such amendment complies with the provisions of the Agreement and will not cause the Trust to be subject to an entity level tax. If the purpose of the amendment is to correct any mistake, eliminate any inconsistency, cure any ambiguity or deal with any matter not covered, it shall not be necessary to obtain the consent of any Securityholder, but the Owner Trustee shall be furnished with a letter from the Rating Agencies that the amendment will not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the rating then assigned to any of the Notes. If the purpose of the amendment is to prevent the imposition of any federal or state taxes at any time that any Security is outstanding, it shall not be necessary to obtain the consent of any Securityholder, but the Owner Trustee shall be furnished with an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment is necessary or helpful to prevent the imposition of such taxes and is not materially adverse to any Securityholder. If the purpose of the amendment is to add or eliminate or change any provision of the Agreement, other than as specified in the preceding two sentences, the amendment shall require either (a) a letter from the Rating Agencies that the amendment will not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the rating then assigned to any of the Notes or (b) the consent of the Certificateholders and the Trust Administrator; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the time of, payments received that are required to be distributed on the Certificates without the consent of the Certificateholders, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid Certificate Percentage Interest required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of 100% of the Certificate Percentage Interest.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar maintained in the City of and State of New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the registered holder of
this Certificate or the such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same class and aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the Agreement is the Trust Administrator.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent, or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the final distribution of all moneys or other property or proceeds of the Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Agreement or (ii) the Final Maturity Date.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, or an authenticating agent by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and not in its individual capacity, has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.
