Principal Balances of such Exchangeable Initial Certificates bear to the
Original Certificate Principal Balance of the related Exchangeable Certificates,
as set forth in Appendix A. Upon any such exchange the portions of the

cancelled and replaced by the Exchangeable Certificate issued in exchange
therefor. Correspondingly, Exchangeable Certificates may be further designated
for exchange for Certificates of the related Exchangeable Initial Certificates
in respective denominations determined based on the proportion that the initial
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balances of such Exchangeable Initial
Certificates bear to the Original Certificate Principal Balances of the related
Exchangeable Certificates, as set forth in Appendix A. There shall be no
limitation on the number of exchanges authorized pursuant to this Section 2.03,
and, except as provided in this Trust Agreement, no fee or other charge shall be
payable to the Trustee, the Paying Agent or DTC in connection therewith.
In order to effect an exchange of Certificates, the Certificateholder shall
notify the current relationship manager or administrator at the Paying Agent
listed on the most recent report to Certificateholders no later than two
Business Days before the proposed exchange date. The exchange date with respect
to the Certificates may be any Business Day other than the first or last

must be on the Certificateholder's letterhead, carry a medallion stamp guarantee
and set forth the following information: the CUSIP number of both Certificates
to be exchanged and Certificates to be received; the Outstanding Certificate
Principal Balance and the Original Certificate Principal Balance of the
Certificates to be exchanged; the Certificateholder's DTC participant number;
and the proposed exchange date. After receiving the notice, the Paying Agent
shall e-mail the Certificateholder with wire payment instructions relating to
the exchange fee. A notice becomes irrevocable on the second Business Day before
the proposed exchange date.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein set forth, a fee of $4,000 shall
be payable to the Paying Agent in connection with each exchange.
The Paying Agent shall make the first distribution on an Exchangeable
Certificate or an Exchangeable Initial Certificate received in an exchange

Certificateholder, the Depositor, the Trustee and any other interested parties a
statement setting forth:

is less than the full amount that would be distributable to such Holders if
there were sufficient funds available therefor, the amount of the shortfall
and the allocation thereof as between principal and interest;

amounts, as applicable) of the outstanding Exchangeable Initial
Certificates and Exchangeable Certificates;

CERTIFICATES; DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 3.01. Issuance of Certificates. The Classes of Certificates shall
be issued in book-entry form and shall be maintained in the names of the record
owners thereof as entries on the books of DTC. Such Certificates shall be in
authorized denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess
thereof and may be transferred or pledged in accordance with and subject to
regulations governing use of the book-entry system (as the same shall be in
effect at the time of any such transfer or pledge) and procedures that are
followed generally for book-entry securities.
On the Closing Date, the Original Certificate Principal Balance (or
notional amount, as applicable) of each Class of Exchangeable Initial
Certificates and Exchangeable Certificates will be the amount set forth for such
Class in Section 4.01(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. With respect to
any Distribution Date, the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance (or
notional amount, as applicable) of the Exchangeable Initial Certificates and
Exchangeable Certificates will depend upon, among other factors, which
exchanges, if any, have taken place hereunder. Any such exchange shall be made
in accordance with the requirements set forth in Appendix A.
Section 3.02. Trust Account. On or before the Issue Date, the Paying Agent
shall either (i) open with a depository institution one or more trust accounts
in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund that shall collectively
be the "Trust Account," (ii) in lieu of maintaining
5
any such account or accounts, maintain the Trust Account by means of appropriate
entries on its books and records designating all amounts credited thereto in
respect of the Uncertificated REMIC Interests and all investments of any such
amounts as being held by it in its capacity as Paying Agent for the benefit of
the Holders of the Certificates or (iii) maintain the Trust Account in the form
of any combination of accounts or book entries described in clauses (i) and (ii)
above. Any manner or manners in which the Trust Account is maintained may at any
time be changed without notice to, or the approval of, Holders of the
Certificates so long as funds held in the Trust Fund by, or for the account of,
the Paying Agent shall at all times be identified. To the extent that the Trust
Account is maintained by the Paying Agent in the manner provided for in clause
(ii) above, all references herein to deposits and withdrawals from the Trust
Account shall be deemed to refer to credits and debits to the related books of
the Paying Agent.
The Paying Agent shall deposit in the Trust Account all distributions in
respect of the Uncertificated REMIC Interests received by it as Paying Agent
hereunder. All such distributions deposited from time to time in the Trust
Account and all investments made with such moneys, including all income or other
gain from such investments, shall be held by the Paying Agent in the Trust
Account as part of the Trust Fund as herein provided, subject to withdrawal by
the Paying Agent for distributions on the Certificates.
Section 3.03. Distributions. On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent
shall withdraw from the Trust Account the Class Distribution Amount for each
Class and shall make the appropriate distributions to the Holders of each such
Class. All distributions of such Class Distribution Amount that are made with
respect to a particular Class of Certificates shall be made pro rata among all
Certificates of such Class in proportion to their respective outstanding
principal balances, with no preference or priority of any kind.
Section 3.04. Allocation of Losses and Certain Other Amounts. For the
avoidance of doubt, any losses, shortfalls, prepayments or increases in
principal amount related to Subsequent Recoveries allocable to the
Uncertificated REMIC Interests pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement shall result in a proportionate reduction or increase in the
Aggregate Denomination of the corresponding Class or Classes of Certificates
issued hereunder.

protections and indemnities afforded to them under the Pooling and Servicing
