laws of the State of Delaware, with power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such
properties are currently owned and such business is presently conducted and had at all relevant times, and now
has, power, authority and the legal right to acquire and own the Mortgage Loans.
(b) The Depositor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing and has
obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of property or

(c) The Depositor has the power and authority to execute and deliver any Operative Agreement to which
it is a party and to carry out its terms; the Depositor has full power and authority to sell and assign the
Collateral to be sold and assigned to and deposited with the Trust and the Depositor has duly authorized such

performance of this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement to which it is a party has been duly authorized by
the Depositor by all necessary corporate action and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of
each such agreement by the other parties thereto, each such agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation
8
of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement thereof
may be subject to or limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws relating
to or affecting creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles.
(d) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the
terms hereof and thereof do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or
constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the certificate of incorporation or by-laws
of the Depositor, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which
it is bound; nor result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the
terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than pursuant to the Operative Agreements); nor

(e) There are no proceedings or investigations, pending or, to the best knowledge of the Depositor,
threatened, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having
jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties: (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or any other
Operative Agreement to which the Depositor is a party, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement to which the Depositor is a party or

Agreement to which the Depositor is a party.
(f) The Depositor has not failed to obtain any consent, approval, authorization, or order of, and has
not failed to cause any registration or qualification with, any court or regulatory authority or other
governmental body having jurisdiction over the Depositor, which consent, approval, authorization, order,
registration, or qualification is required for, and the absence of which would materially and adversely affect,
the legal and valid execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by the Depositor. No consent or
approval of any other person or entity is necessary for the Depositor to perform its obligations hereunder or, if
any such consent or approval is necessary, such consent or approval has previously been obtained.

Section 1.7704-1 promulgated under the Code or (iii) a "taxable mortgage pool" as defined in Section 7701(i) of
9
the Code. It is also the intention of the parties hereto that (i) the Notes (other than the Privately Offered
Notes) qualify under applicable tax laws as indebtedness secured by the Collateral and (ii) the Trust formed
hereby shall be disregarded as an entity separate from the sole Holder of the Owner Trust Certificates and the
Privately Offered Notes unless and until the date when either (a) there is more than one Holder of the Owner
Trust Certificates and the Privately Offered Notes or (b) any class of Notes (other than the Privately Offered
Notes) is recharacterized as an equity interest in the Trust for federal income tax purposes and is owned by a
Person other than the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates and the Privately Offered Notes, in which case upon
receipt of written notification or actual knowledge that such an event has occurred, the Securities Administrator
shall comply with its obligations under Section 4.04. In such event, the Trust is intended to be classified as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes. The Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Securities Administrator and
each Holder of an Owner Trust Certificate agree to treat the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with
the above stated intentions unless and until determined to the contrary by an applicable taxing authority, and
the provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted to further the above stated intentions.
Section 2.12 Investment Company. Neither the Depositor nor any Holder of any Owner Trust
Certificates shall take any action which would cause the Trust to become an "investment company" which would be
required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
ARTICLE III
THE OWNER TRUST CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS
Section 3.01 The Owner Trust Certificates.
Initially, there shall be a single Owner Trust Certificate in definitive, fully registered form
representing a 100% Percentage Interest which shall initially be registered in the name of the Initial Holder.
No Owner Trust Certificates shall be issued in authorized denominations of less than 10% Percentage Interest and
multiples of 1% in excess thereof. The Owner Trust Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by
manual or facsimile signature of an Authorized Officer of the Owner Trustee and authenticated in the manner
provided in Section 3.02. Any Owner Trust Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals
who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust,
shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefit of this Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or
any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Owner Trust
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Owner Trust
Certificates. A Person shall become a Certificateholder and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the
obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder upon such Person's acceptance of any Owner Trust Certificates duly
registered in such Person's name pursuant to Section 3.03.
Section 3.02 Execution, Authentication and Delivery of the Owner Trust Certificates.
Concurrently with the sale of the Collateral to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
the Owner Trustee (or the Certificate Registrar) shall, upon written direction of the Depositor, cause the Owner
Trust Certificates issued hereunder to be executed and authenticated on behalf of the Trust and delivered to the
Initial Holder as assignee of the Depositor.
10
The Owner Trust Certificates shall not entitle the Holders to any benefits under this Agreement or be
valid for any purpose unless there shall appear on such Owner Trust Certificates a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, executed by the Certificate Registrar, as the Owner
Trustee's authenticating agent, by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence
that such Owner Trust Certificates shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. An Owner Trust
Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.
Section 3.03 Registration of and Limitations on Transfers and Exchanges of the Owner Trust
Certificates. The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained
pursuant to Section 3.07, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of the Owner Trust Certificates and of
transfers and exchanges of the Owner Trust Certificates as herein provided; provided, however, that no Owner
Trust Certificate shall be issued in any such transfer and exchange representing less than a 10% Percentage
Interest in the Owner Trust Certificates. The Securities Administrator shall be the initial Certificate
Registrar. If the Certificate Registrar resigns or is removed, the Owner Trustee, with the consent of the
Depositor, shall appoint a successor Certificate Registrar.
Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, upon surrender for registration of transfer
of any Owner Trust Certificates at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.07, the Owner Trustee
shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or cause the Certificate Registrar as its authenticating agent to
execute, authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new
Owner Trust Certificates evidencing in aggregate the Percentage Interest of the Owner Trust Certificates so
surrendered and dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar. At the
option of the Holder, Owner Trust Certificates may be exchanged for other Owner Trust Certificates evidencing in
the aggregate the Percentage Interest of the Owner Trust Certificate to be surrendered in such an exchange at the
office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.07.
Every Owner Trust Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed
by the Holder or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Owner Trust Certificate surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Certificate Registrar
in accordance with its customary practice.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Owner Trust
Certificates, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of the Owner Trust
Certificates or any other expense arising as a result of any registration of transfer or exchange.
11
The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Owner Trustee shall not make and the
Certificate Registrar shall not register transfer or exchanges of any Owner Trust Certificates for a period of 15
days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Owner Trust Certificates.
No transfer of any Owner Trust Certificates shall be made unless such transfer is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance
with said Act and laws. Except in the case of the initial transfer to the Initial Holder, in the event of any
such transfer, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor shall prior to such transfer require the transferee to
execute (i) an investment letter (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1) certifying to the Trust, the Owner
Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor that such transferee is a
"qualified institutional buyer" under Rule 144A under the Securities Act or (ii) an investment letter (in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C-2) certifying to the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the
Certificate Registrar and the Depositor that such transferee is an "accredited investor" (as defined in Rule
501(a)(1) (2), (3) or (7) of the Securities Act), and any expense associated with the preparation and execution
of any such investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor. A Holder of an Owner Trust Certificate desiring to
effect the transfer of any Owner Trust Certificates shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trust, the
Owner Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor against any and all
liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.
The Initial Holder will be (i) the initial Certificateholder of a 100% Percentage Interest in the Owner
Trust Certificates and (ii) the initial Note Owner of a 100% Percentage Interest in each of the Privately Offered
Notes. The Initial Holder (or any other Certificateholder or Note Owner of the Privately Offered Notes) is
hereby prohibited from transferring any beneficial ownership interest in the Owner Trust Certificate or any
Privately Offered Notes, except as provided in this Section 3.03 and Sections 2.03 and 2.04 of the Indenture.
No sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of any beneficial ownership interest in the Owner Trust
Certificates may be effectuated, and the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register any such sale, transfer,
pledge or other disposition except if (a) the transferee delivers to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be an expense of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar) that the sale, transfer or other disposition of the Owner Trust Certificates will not
result in the Trust becoming subject to tax for federal income tax purposes or (b) such sale, transfer, pledge or
other disposition is in conjunction with a simultaneous sale or transfer of an equal Percentage Interest in all
classes of the Privately Offered Notes then Outstanding (as defined in the Indenture). In connection with any
transfer of all or a portion of the Owner Trust Certificates pursuant to clause (b) of the immediately preceding
sentence, the transferee shall certify to the Certificate Registrar, and the Owner Trustee in an investment
letter substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 or Exhibit C-2, as applicable, that such transfer
has been made in accordance with clause (b) and shall agree to indemnify the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the
Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor against any liability that may result if
the transfer was made in contravention of clause (b).
12
Except in the case of the initial transfer to the Initial Holder, no transfer of any Owner Trust
Certificates shall be made unless the Certificate Registrar shall have received a representation letter
(substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 or Exhibit C-2, as applicable) from the proposed
transferee of such Owner Trust Certificates to the effect that such proposed transferee is not an employee
benefit plan or other retirement arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA, or Section 4975 of the Code, or any
substantially similar applicable law, or a Person acting on behalf of or using the assets of any such plan, which
representation letter shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the
Certificate Registrar or the Depositor.
The Trust shall cause each Owner Trust Certificate to contain a legend, substantially in the form of the
applicable legends provided in Exhibit A hereto, stating that transfer of such Owner Trust Certificate is subject
to certain restrictions and referring prospective purchasers of the Owner Trust Certificates to this Section 3.03
with respect to such restrictions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no transfer, pledge or encumbrance of any Owner Trust
Certificates shall be made to any Person unless the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar have received an
Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be an expense of the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar) to the
effect that such transfer, pledge or encumbrance would not have any adverse effect on the status of the Notes
(other than the Privately Offered Notes) as debt for federal income tax purposes and would not result in the
Trust's becoming taxable for federal income tax purposes.
If any purported transferee shall become a Holder in violation of the provisions of this Section, then
upon receipt of written notice to the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Paying Agent that the
registration of transfer of the Owner Trust Certificates to such Holder was not in fact permitted by this
Section, then the transfer to that Holder shall be void ab initio and the last preceding Holder that was and that
continues to be an eligible Holder in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall be restored to all
rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of such registration of transfer of such Owner Trust
Certificates. The Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of
transfer of any Owner Trust Certificates that is in fact not permitted by this Section, for making any payment
due on such Owner Trust Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such
Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered upon receipt of the Opinion
of Counsel described in the immediately preceding paragraph.
Section 3.04 Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Owner Trust Certificates. If (a) any mutilated
Owner Trust Certificates are surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or (b) the Certificate Registrar receives
evidence to its satisfaction that any Owner Trust Certificates have been destroyed, lost or stolen, and there is
delivered to the Certificate Registrar proof of ownership satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, together
with such security or indemnity as required by the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee to save each of
them harmless, then in the absence of notice to the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee that such Owner
Trust Certificates have been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Owner Trustee (or the Certificate Registrar)
shall execute on behalf of the Trust, and the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Owner Trust Certificates,
new Owner Trust Certificates of like tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new
Owner Trust Certificates under this Section 3.04, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the
13
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expenses of the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar (including
any fees and expenses of counsel) and any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
therewith. Any duplicate Owner Trust Certificates issued pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall constitute
conclusive evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or
destroyed Owner Trust Certificates shall be found at any time.
Section 3.05 Persons Deemed Certificateholders. Prior to due presentation of any Owner Trust
Certificates for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any Certificate Paying
Agent may treat the Holder as the owner of such Owner Trust Certificates for the purpose of receiving
distributions pursuant to Section 4.02 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 3.06 Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses. The Certificate Registrar
shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Depositor, the Certificate Paying Agent or the Owner Trustee,
within 15 days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a written request therefor from the Depositor, the
Certificate Paying Agent or the Owner Trustee, in such form as the Depositor, the Certificate Paying Agent or the
Owner Trustee, as the case may be, may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders as of the
most recent Record Date. A Holder, by receiving and holding any Owner Trust Certificates, shall be deemed to
have agreed not to hold any of the Trust, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Paying Agent
or the Owner Trustee accountable or liable for damages by reason of the disclosure of its name and address,
regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
Section 3.07 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Certificate Registrar on behalf of the Trust,
shall maintain an office or offices or agency or agencies where any Owner Trust Certificates may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Trust may be served. The
Certificate Registrar shall give the Owner Trustee prompt notice, in writing, of any such notice or demand. The
Certificate Registrar initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Securities Administrator located at
▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ as its office for such purposes. The Certificate
Registrar shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent and
the Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.
Section 3.08 Certificate Paying Agent.
(a) The Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, may appoint, and hereby appoints, the Securities
Administrator as Certificate Paying Agent under this Agreement. The Certificate Paying Agent shall make
distributions to the Holders from the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof and
Section 4.05 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and, upon request, shall report the amounts of such
distributions to the Owner Trustee. The Certificate Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw
funds from the Certificate Distribution Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above.
The Securities Administrator hereby accepts such appointment and further agrees that it will be bound by the
provisions of this Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement relating to the Certificate Paying Agent and
shall:
14
(i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Owner
Trust 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 a Responsible
Officer of the Securities Administrator has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be
made with respect to the Owner Trust Certificates;
(iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of
the Owner Trustee forthwith pay to the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust all sums so held in Trust by
such Certificate Paying Agent;
(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 Owner Trust Certificates if at
any time it ceases to meet the standards under this Section 3.08 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 Owner Trust Certificates of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon
and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith; and
(vi) not institute bankruptcy proceedings against the Trust in connection with this
Agreement.
(b) In the event that the Securities Administrator shall no longer be the Certificate Paying Agent
hereunder, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, with the consent of the Depositor, shall appoint a
successor to act as Certificate Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The Owner Trustee shall
cause such successor Certificate Paying Agent or any additional Certificate Paying Agent appointed by the Owner
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an instrument in which such
successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent shall agree with the Owner Trustee, on
behalf of the Trust, that as Certificate Paying Agent, such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional
Certificate Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment in trust for the benefit of the
Holders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Holders. The Certificate Paying Agent shall
return all unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee, and upon removal of a Certificate Paying Agent, such Certificate
Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust. The
provisions of Sections 5.03, 5.04, 6.01, 6.05, 6.07, 6.08, 7.01 and 7.02 shall apply to the Securities
Administrator, as though it had been named in such sections, also in its roles as Certificate Paying Agent and as
Certificate Registrar for so long as the Securities Administrator shall act as Certificate Paying Agent and as
Certificate Registrar and, to the extent applicable, to any other Certificate Paying Agent or Certificate
15
Registrar appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Certificate Paying Agent shall include any
co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the
Securities Administrator resigns or is removed as Securities Administrator and such Securities Administrator is
the same entity as the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar and the
Certificate Paying Agent shall resign and the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, at the written direction of
the Depositor, shall appoint a successor Certificate Registrar and Certificate Paying Agent.
Section 3.09 Derivative Transactions. The Trust is authorized, at the direction and the expense of
the Certificateholders, to enter into (or cause the Securities Administrator to enter into on its behalf) (and to
pledge to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture) such derivative transactions for the benefit of any
Noteholders as may be deemed desirable by the Certificateholders, so long as (i) as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel addressed to the Indenture Trustee and the Trust (at the expense of the Certificateholders), the
inclusion of such derivative in the Trust Estate will not be inconsistent with the ERISA provisions contained
herein or in the Operative Agreements, (ii) as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Indenture
Trustee and the Trust (at the expense of the Certificateholders), such derivative transaction will not adversely
affect the tax aspects of the Notes and (iii) each Rating Agency shall have confirmed in writing that the
inclusion of such derivative would not result in a downgrade of its then current rating of any Class of Notes.
No such derivate transaction shall expand the duties of the Owner Trustee without the consent of the Owner
Trustee and an agreement regarding additional compensation for any additional duties.
ARTICLE IV
APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS; CERTAIN DUTIES
Section 4.01 Certificate Distribution Account. The Securities Administrator shall establish and
maintain on behalf of the Trust and the Certificateholder, the Certificate Distribution Account.
(a) The Certificate Distribution Account shall be an Eligible Account. If the Certificate Distribution
Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Securities Administrator shall establish a new Certificate
Distribution Account that is an Eligible Account within 10 days and transfer all funds and investment property on
deposit in such existing Certificate Distribution Account into such new Certificate Distribution Account. The
funds in the Certificate Distribution Account shall remain uninvested.
(b) The Certificate Paying Agent shall withdraw funds from the Certificate Distribution Account for
payments to the Certificateholders in the manner specified in this Agreement. In addition, the Securities
Administrator may prior to making the payment required pursuant to Section 4.02 from time to time make
withdrawals from the Certificate Distribution Account for the following purposes:
(i) to withdraw funds deposited in error in the Certificate Distribution Account; and
16
(ii) to clear and terminate the Certificate Distribution Account upon the termination of
the Trust.
(c) All of the right, title and interest of the Trust in all funds on deposit from time to time in the
Certificate Distribution Account and in all proceeds thereof shall be held for the benefit of the Holders and
such other persons entitled to payments therefrom. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the
Certificate Distribution Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Securities Administrator for
the benefit of the Certificateholders.
Section 4.02 Application of Trust Funds.
(a) The Certificate Paying Agent shall distribute on each Payment Date to the Holders amounts on
deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account. All distributions of amounts due on or in respect of the Owner
Trust Certificates shall be made to the Certificateholders, pro rata, based upon their Percentage Interests in
the Owner Trust Certificates.
(b) All payments to be made under this Agreement by the Certificate Paying Agent shall be made only
from the income and proceeds of the Trust Estate and only to the extent that the Certificate Paying Agent has
received such income or proceeds. The Certificate Paying Agent shall not be liable to the Trust, any Holder, the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee for any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.02 except to the extent
that non-payment is due to the Certificate Paying Agent's acts or omissions amounting to willful misconduct or
gross negligence.
(c) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the distributions (or allocations of income) to
the Certificateholders, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Certificateholders in
accordance with this Section 4.02. The Certificate Paying Agent, if instructed by the Securities Administrator,
is hereby authorized and directed to retain or cause to be retained from amounts otherwise distributable to the
Certificateholders sufficient funds (as determined by the Securities Administrator) for the payment of any tax
that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Securities Administrator from
contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law,
pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a
Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by
the Certificate Paying Agent and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that
withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a non-U.S.
Certificateholder), the Certificate Paying Agent may in its own discretion withhold such amounts in accordance
with this paragraph (c). In the event that the Certificateholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such
withholding tax, the Securities Administrator shall reasonably cooperate with such Certificateholder in making
such a claim so long as such Certificateholder agrees to reimburse the Securities Administrator for any
out-of-pocket expenses incurred.
(d) Distributions to the Holders shall be subordinated to the creditors of the Trust, including,
without limitation, the Noteholders and the Owner Trustee.
17
Section 4.03 Method of Payment. Subject to Section 8.01(c), distributions required to be made to
the Holders on any Payment Date as provided in Section 4.02 shall be made to each Person who was a Holder on the
preceding Record Date either by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of such Holder at a
bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder shall have provided to the
Certificate Registrar appropriate written instructions at least five Business Days prior to such Payment Date or,
if not, by check mailed to such Holder at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register.
Section 4.04 Tax Returns. The Securities Administrator shall (a) maintain (or cause to be
maintained) the books of the Trust on a calendar year basis using the accrual method of accounting, (b) deliver
(or cause to be delivered) to each Holder as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations,
such information as may be required to enable each Holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns,
(c) prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed such tax returns relating to the Trust as may be required
by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations (making such elections as may from time to time be required or
appropriate under any applicable state or federal statutes, rules or regulations) and (d) collect or cause to be
collected any withholding tax as described in and in accordance with Section 4.02 of this Agreement with respect
to income or distributions to Holders and prepare or cause to be prepared the appropriate forms relating thereto;
provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall not be required to compute the Trust's gross income
and provided, further, that the Securities Administrator shall not be required to prepare and file partnership or
corporation income tax returns on behalf of the Trust (or any additional tax work caused by Section 3.09) unless
it receives an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be at the Securities Administrator's expense, but shall be an
expense of the Trust or other party requesting such opinion) as to the necessity of such filings, and
reimbursement for related reasonable expenses from the Trust not to exceed $10,000 per year. The Owner Trustee,
where required by applicable tax law to do so, shall sign all tax and information returns prepared or caused to
be prepared by the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section 4.04 at the written request of the
Securities Administrator, and in doing so shall rely entirely upon, and shall have no liability for information
or calculations provided by, the Securities Administrator, or any other Person. In no event shall the Securities
Administrator be liable for any errors or omissions in preparing or filing the tax returns or errors or omissions
in maintaining the books of the Trust if such errors or omissions were due to errors or omissions in the
information contained in the reports delivered by the Servicer to the Master Servicer pursuant to the Purchase
and Servicing Agreement. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Securities
Administrator be liable for any errors or omissions in the preparing or filing of any tax returns or in
maintaining the books of the Trust unless such error or omissions are due to the Securities Administrator's
negligence or willful misconduct in so preparing, filing or maintaining.
Section 4.05 Segregation of Moneys; No Interest. Moneys received by or on behalf of the Trust
hereunder and deposited into the Certificate Distribution Account will be segregated except to the extent
required otherwise by law or the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the
Certificate Distribution Account shall not be invested. The Securities Administrator shall not be liable for
payment of any interest in respect of such moneys.

Section 5.01 General Authority. The Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to execute and
deliver the Notes, the Owner Trust Certificates, and the other Operative Agreements to which the Trust is to be a
party and each certificate or other document attached as an exhibit to or contemplated by the Operative
Agreements to which the Trust is to be a party and any amendment or other agreement or instrument described
herein, as evidenced conclusively by the Owner Trustee's execution thereof, and, on behalf of the Trust, to
direct the Securities Administrator to authenticate the Notes. In addition to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee
is authorized, but shall not be obligated, to take all actions required of the Trust pursuant to the Operative
Agreements. In furtherance of the preceding sentence, and not by way of limitation, the Owner Trustee shall have
no obligation to perform any duty, obligation, covenant or agreement of the Trust except as expressly set forth
in Section 5.02 including, without limitation, that the Owner Trustee shall have no duty on behalf of the Trust
to institute or conduct any litigation, arbitration or administrative proceeding or otherwise take any legal
action on behalf of the Trust.
Section 5.02 General Duties.
(a) It shall be the duty of the Owner Trustee to discharge (or cause to be discharged) all of its
express responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to which the
Trust is a party and to administer the Trust in the interest of the Certificateholders, subject to the Operative
Agreements and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner
Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the
Operative Agreements to the extent the Securities Administrator or the Depositor has agreed in the Administration
Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or this Agreement, respectively, to perform any act or to discharge
any duty of the Owner Trustee or the Trust hereunder or under any Operative Agreement, and the Owner Trustee
shall not be held liable for the default or failure of the Securities Administrator or the Depositor to carry out
its obligations under the Administration Agreement, this Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or any
other Operative Agreement, respectively.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision in the Operative Agreements to the contrary, the Owner Trustee shall
have no obligation to perform any duty, obligation, covenant, or agreement of the Trust except as expressly set
forth in this Section 5.02(b)(i) through (v). The Owner Trustee shall take the following administrative actions
on behalf of the Trust:
(i) upon Actual Knowledge by the Owner Trustee of an Event of Default under the Indenture
or a default by the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Depositor of its obligations
under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, to give the notice required by Section 3.07(d) and/or Section
3.17 of the Indenture;
19

covenants set forth in Section 3.08 of the Indenture, to provide notice to the Depositor, the Securities

deliver notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator and each Rating Agency (Sections
3.17 and 5.01(b)).
Section 5.03 Action Upon Instruction.
(a) Subject to this Article V and, in particular, Section 5.07 and in accordance with the terms of the
Operative Agreements, a majority in interest of the Holders may by written instruction direct the Owner Trustee
in the management of the Trust, but only to the extent consistent with the limited purpose of the Trust and the
limited role of the Owner Trustee. Such direction may be exercised at any time by written instruction of the
Holders pursuant to this Article V. In the event a majority in interest of the Holders directs the Owner Trustee
to request a supplemental indenture, the Holders shall be responsible for obtaining the Opinion of Counsel
required by Sections 9.02 and 9.08 of the Indenture.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder
or under any Operative Agreement if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been
advised by counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Owner Trustee or is
contrary to the terms hereof or of any Operative Agreement or is otherwise contrary to law.
(c) Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or
required by the terms of this Agreement or under any other Operative Agreement, or in the event that the Owner
Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement or
any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other
applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is
silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a
particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee may promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under
the circumstances) to the Holders requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the
extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written instruction of a majority of the
Percentage Interest of the Holders of the Owner Trust Certificates, or the direction of the Holders of 100%
Percentage Interest in the Trust Certificates, in connection with a matter as to which Section 5.06 requires the
consent of the Holders of 100% Percentage Interest in the Trust Certificates, the Owner Trustee shall not be
liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate
20
instruction within 10 days of such notice (or within such reasonably shorter period of time as may be specified
in such notice or as reasonably may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to,
take or refrain from taking such action not inconsistent with this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement, as
it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Holders, and the Owner Trustee shall have no liability to any
Person for such action or inaction.

instruction of the Depositor or the Certificateholders. If, and to the extent, the Holders shall have failed to
reimburse the Owner Trustee for all reasonable expenses and indemnities incurred pursuant to this Section

28
Collateral or related documents. The Owner Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or
with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Collateral, or the perfection and priority of
any security interest created by any Collateral or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or
with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to
Certificateholders under this Agreement or the Noteholders under the Indenture, including, without limitation:
the existence, condition and ownership of any Collateral; the existence and enforceability of any insurance
thereon; the existence and contents of any Collateral on any computer or other record thereof; the validity of
the assignment of any Collateral to the Trust or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of any
Collateral; the performance or enforcement of any Collateral; the compliance by the Depositor with any warranty

and maintain the effectiveness of any licenses required in connection with this Agreement and the other Operative
Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby until such time as the Trust shall terminate in
accordance with the terms hereof. It shall be the duty of the Owner Trustee to cooperate with the Depositor with
respect to such matters. Such obligation of the Depositor shall not be duplicative of any obligations of the
Securities Administrator or the Indenture Trustee under the Administration Agreement or the Indenture or the
Servicer or Master Servicer under the Purchase and Servicing Agreement and Sale and Servicing Agreement,
respectively.
Section 6.10 Doing Business in Other Jurisdictions. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to

authorization or order of or the giving of notice to, or the registration with or the taking of any other action
in respect of, any state or other governmental authority or agency of any jurisdiction other than the State of
Delaware; (ii) result in any fee, tax or other governmental charge under the laws of any jurisdiction or any
political subdivisions thereof in existence on the date hereof other than the State of Delaware becoming payable
by LNTD or the Owner Trustee; or (iii) subject LNTD or the Owner Trustee to personal jurisdiction in any
jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware for causes of action arising from acts unrelated to the
consummation of the transactions by LNTD or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, contemplated hereby. The
Owner Trustee shall be entitled to obtain advice of counsel (which advice shall be an expense of the Trust) to
determine whether any action required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement results in the consequences
described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence. In the event that such counsel advises the
Owner Trustee that such action will result in such consequences, the Owner Trustee will appoint a co-trustee
pursuant to Section 9.05 hereof to proceed with such action.

provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than the Depositor's compliance with Regulation AB.
The Owner Trustee agrees to cooperate in good faith with any reasonable request made by the Depositor or the
Securities Administrator for information regarding the Owner Trustee which is required in order to enable the

pending against the Owner Trustee or any and all proceedings of which any property of the Owner Trustee is the
subject, that is material to Securityholders; and (ii) any such proceedings known to be contemplated by
governmental authorities. The Owner Trustee shall also notify the Depositor and the Securities Administrator in
writing, as promptly as practicable following notice to or discovery by a Responsible Officer of the Owner
Trustee of any material changes to proceedings described in the preceding sentence. In addition, the Owner
Trustee shall furnish to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator, in writing, the necessary disclosure
regarding the Owner Trustee describing such proceedings required to be disclosed under Item 1117 of Regulation
AB, for inclusion in reports filed by or on behalf of the Depositor with the Commission.

with respect to the Notes, the Owner Trustee shall, no later than January 31st of each calendar year, provide to
the Depositor and the Securities Administrator such information regarding the Owner Trustee as is required for
the purpose of compliance with Items 1109(a), 1109(b), 1119(a) and 1119(b) of Regulation AB; and (ii) as promptly

party, apart from this transaction, that currently exists or that existed during the past two years and that is
material to an investor's understanding of the Notes.
With respect to the information required to be provided under this Section 6.11(b), the Owner Trustee
shall not be required to provide such information in the event that there has been no change to the information
previously provided by the Owner Trustee to the Depositor. In connection with each report on Form 10-K with
respect to the Notes and each report on Form 10-D with respect to the Notes filed by or on behalf of the
Depositor, the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to represent and warrant, as of March 15th for the report on Form
10-K and as of the related Payment Date for the report on Form 10-D, that any information previously provided by
the Owner Trustee under this Section 6.11 is materially correct and does not contain any material omissions

TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
Section 8.01 Termination of Agreement.
(a) This Agreement (other than Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 7.04) shall terminate and the trusts created
hereby shall dissolve and terminate and the Trust Estate shall, subject to the Indenture and Sections 4.01 and
7.04 of this Agreement and Section 3808 of the Delaware Trust Statute, be distributed to the Holders pro rata
based on their Percentage Interests in the Owner Trust Certificates, and this Agreement shall be of no further
force or effect, upon the earlier of (i) the full payment of principal and interest due on all Classes of the
Notes; and (ii) the sale or other final disposition by the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as the case
may be, of all the Trust Estate and the final distribution by the Securities Administrator or the Owner Trustee,
as the case may be, of all moneys or other property or proceeds of the Trust Estate in accordance with the terms
of the Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 4.02. The bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution
of any Holder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement, nor entitle such Holder's legal representatives to
claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust
Estate, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto.
(b) Except as provided in Section 8.01(a), neither the Depositor nor the Holders shall be entitled to
revoke or terminate the Trust established hereunder prior to payment in full of the Notes.
(c) Notice of any termination of the Trust, specifying the Payment Date upon which the Holders shall
surrender their Owner Trust Certificates to the Certificate Paying Agent for payment of the final distribution
32
and cancellation, shall be given by the Certificate Paying Agent by letter to the Holders and the Rating Agencies
mailed within five Business Days of receipt of notice of the final payment on the Notes pursuant to the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, stating (i) the Payment Date upon or with respect to which final payment of the Owner Trust
Certificates shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the Owner Trust Certificates at the office of the
Certificate Paying Agent therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record
Date otherwise applicable to such Payment Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and
surrender of the Owner Trust Certificates at the office of the Certificate Paying Agent therein specified. The
Certificate Paying Agent shall give such notice to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar at the time
such notice is given to the Holders. Upon presentation and surrender of the Owner Trust Certificates, the
Certificate Paying Agent shall cause to be distributed to the Holders pro rata based on their Percentage
Interests in the Owner Trust Certificates amounts distributable on such Payment Date pursuant to
Section 5.01(a)(viii) and 5.01(b)(ix) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
In the event that all of the Holders shall not surrender their Owner Trust Certificates for cancellation
within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Certificate Paying Agent
shall give a second written notice to the remaining Holders to surrender their Owner Trust Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. Subject to applicable laws with respect to
escheat of funds, if within one year following the Payment Date on which final payment of the Owner Trust
Certificates was to have been made pursuant to the Sections 4.05, 5.01(a)(viii) and 5.01(b)(ix) of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, all the Owner Trust Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the
Certificate Paying Agent may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to
contact the remaining Holders concerning surrender of their Owner Trust Certificates, and the cost thereof shall
be paid out of the funds and other assets that shall remain subject to this Agreement. Any funds remaining in
the Certificate Distribution Account after exhaustion of such remedies shall be distributed by the Certificate
Paying Agent to the Trust and thereafter the Holders of the non-cancelled Owner Trust Certificates shall look
only to the Trust for payment on a pro rata basis.
(d) Upon the winding up of the Trust and its termination, and written notice thereof by the Certificate
Paying Agent to the Owner Trustee, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificate of Trust to be cancelled by
filing a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State in accordance with the provisions of Section
3810 of the Delaware Trust Statute.

authorities; and having (or having a parent which has) a short-term debt rating of at least "A-1" or the
equivalent by, or which is otherwise acceptable to, each Rating Agency. If such corporation or national banking
association shall publish reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
33
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined capital and
surplus of such corporation or national banking association 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, the Owner Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.02.
Section 9.02 Resignation or Removal 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 Indenture Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor 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 one copy 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 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 Depositor, 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 may 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 payment of 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.
The Securities Administrator shall provide notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to the
Rating Agencies.
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 the Securities Administrator and to its
predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this 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 Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee.
The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee
all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator 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.
34
No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 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, the Securities
Administrator shall mail notice of the successor of such Owner Trustee to all Certificateholders, the Indenture
Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. If the Securities Administrator fails to mail such notice
within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner Trustee shall
cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Securities Administrator.
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,
provided such Person shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.01, 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.
Section 9.05 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions
of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which
any part of the Trust Estate or any Collateral may at the time be located, and for the purpose of performing
certain duties and obligations of the Owner Trustee with respect to the Trust and the Certificates under the Sale
and Servicing Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to
appoint one or more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee,
or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in
such capacity, such title to the Trust, 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 Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor 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.
The Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, hereby appoints the Securities Administrator for the purpose
of establishing and maintaining the Certificate Distribution Account and making investments and the distributions
therefrom to the Persons entitled thereto pursuant to Section 4.02 of this Agreement.
Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject
to the following provision and conditions:
35
(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
Trust 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 Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any
other trustee under this 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
the separate trustees and co-trustees, as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate
trustee or co-trustee, other than this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement and to the conditions of this
Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of appointment, shall be vested with the
estates 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 Agreement, specifically including every provision of
this 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 and a copy thereof given to the Securities
Administrator.
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 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 trustee.

The Owner Trust Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Depositor, the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Securities Administrator, LNTD or any Affiliates of any of them and no
recourse may be had against any such parties or their assets, except as expressly set forth or contemplated
herein or in the Agreement or the other Operative Agreements. In addition, this Owner Trust Certificate is not

principal office of the Depositor and at such other places, if any, designated by the Depositor.
The Agreement permits the amendment thereof as specified below, provided that any amendment be
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment complies with the provisions of the
Agreement and would 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 or to
comply with the requirements of Regulation AB, it shall not be necessary to obtain the consent of any Noteholder
or the Indenture Trustee. 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 sentence, the amendment shall require the consent of the
Holders of 66?% of the Percentage Interest in the Owner Trust Certificates, the consent of Noteholders evidencing
more than 66?% of the Outstanding Balance of the Notes and the Indenture Trustee; 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 to any Certificateholder or Noteholder, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of
Certificateholders and Noteholders which are required to consent to any such amendment, in the case of either
clause (i) or (ii), without the consent of the holders of all the outstanding Notes and Certificates, as
applicable.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this
Owner Trust Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Owner Trust
Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar maintained by
the Trust, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly

Owner Trust Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate interest in the Trust will be
issued to the designated transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the Agreement is the
Securities Administrator.
The Owner Trust Certificates are issuable only in a minimum Percentage Interest of 10% and multiples of
one (1%) in excess thereof. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Owner Trust Certificates are exchangeable for new Owner Trust Certificates evidencing in the aggregate the
Percentage Interest of the Owner Trust Certificate surrendered in the exchange, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same. 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 or any expense incurred thereby.

respect to the Certificates and (e) we are a "qualified institutional buyer" as that term is defined in Rule 144A
