or invested in the Certificate Account, whether in the form of cash,
instruments, securities or other property, (c) the possession by the Trustee or
its agent of the CRB Certificates and such other items of property as constitute
instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be
"possession by the secured party" for purposes of perfecting the security
interest pursuant to Section 9305 of the Uniform Commercial Code; and (d)
notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable)
of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement
intend the transfer pursuant to this section to be a true, absolute and
unconditional sale of the CRB Certificates and all such other assets
constituting the Trust Property by the Depositor to the Trustee.
(d) If the CRB Certificates are reissued as definitive certificates as
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall cause such
definitive certificates to be issued in its name as Trustee on behalf of the
Trust and shall thereafter maintain possession of such definitive certificates
during the term of this Agreement unless otherwise required to surrender such
definitive certificates for final payment as provided in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 2.02. ACCEPTANCE BY TRUSTEE. The Trustee hereby acknowledges
the receipt by it of the CRB Certificates and the documents referred to in

Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee that as of the Closing
Date:
(a) With respect to the CRB Certificates:
(i) the information set forth in the CRB Certificate Schedule is
true and correct in all material respects as of the date or dates such
information is furnished;
(ii) immediately prior to the sale and assignment herein
contemplated, the Depositor was the sole owner of the CRB Certificates
free and clear of any lien, pledge, charge or encumbrance of any kind;
(iii) the Depositor acquired its ownership in the CRB
Certificates in good faith without notice of any adverse claim; and
(iv) the Depository has not assigned any interest in the CRB
Certificates or any distributions thereon, except as contemplated
herein.
The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03(a)
shall survive the transfer and assignment of the CRB Certificates. Upon
discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders in the CRB Certificates, the Depositor or
the Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the other, to the
Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency. Within 90 days of its discovery or
its receipt of notice of any such breach, the Depositor shall cure such breach
in all material respects or, if such breach cannot be cured, the Depositor shall
repurchase the affected CRB Certificates from the Trustee if the Depositor is so
directed by a Majority in Interest of the Certificateholders. Any such
repurchase of a CRB Certificate by the Depositor shall be accomplished prior to
the Distribution Date next following the receipt of such direction by a Majority
in Interest of the Certificateholders at a price equal to the sum of (i) the
outstanding principal amount of such CRB Certificate as of the date of such
repurchase and (ii) all unpaid accrued interest on such CRB Certificate to the

considered a prepayment in full of such CRB Certificates and shall be delivered
to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.02. Upon such deposit into the Certificate Account, such
CRB Certificates shall be released to the Depositor, and the Trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case
without recourse, as shall be reasonably requested and provided by the Depositor
to vest in the Depositor, or its designee or assignee, title to the CRB
Certificates repurchased pursuant hereto. The Depositor shall be entitled to all
amounts received by the Trustee in respect of any repurchased CRB Certificate to
the extent the distribution of such amounts would not make the total amount
distributed in respect of any such repurchased CRB Certificate greater than the
Purchase Price therefor. The obligation of the Depositor to cure or repurchase
the CRB Certificates as to which a breach specified in this Section 2.03(a) has
occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such
breach against the Depositor available to Certificateholders or the Trustee on
behalf of Certificateholders.

(i) the Depositor is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware

party or by which it is bound or any of its assets is bound, or any
statute, order or regulation applicable to the Depositor of any court,
regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having
jurisdiction over the Depositor; and
(v) there are no actions or proceedings against, or
investigations of, the Depositor pending, or, to the knowledge of the

the proper officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that
such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at
the date of such Certificate. No Certificates shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such

upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that
such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates issued on the Closing Date shall be dated the Closing Date. All
Certificates issued thereafter shall be dated the date of their authentication.
SECTION 4.02. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES.

surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver
the Certificates that the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to

accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the
Trustee, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing.
(d) Certificates delivered upon any exchange will evidence the same
obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the

imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(f) All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer and
exchange shall be cancelled and destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with its
standard procedures without liability on its part.
SECTION 4.03. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN CERTIFICATES. If

Depositor and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the

indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the
absence of receipt by either the Trustee or the Depositor of written notice that
such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor, form,
terms and principal amount, as applicable, bearing a number not

Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 4.03, the
Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of the rights of a Holder of the
originally issued Certificate as if such duplicate Certificate was originally
issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be, at
any time, enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of
this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Certificates
of the respective Class, if any, duly issued hereunder. All Certificates
surrendered to the Trustee under the terms of this Section 4.03 shall be
cancelled and destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with its standard

lost or stolen Certificates.

maintain at its expense in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, State
of New York, an office or agency where Certificates may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange and presented for final distribution and

Certificates and this Agreement may be served. Such office or agency shall
initially be maintained at [ ]. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to
the Certificateholders and the Depositor of any change in the location of any
such office or agency.
SECTION 4.06. ERISA CONSIDERATIONS. No Certificate may be acquired by
an employee benefit plan, as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), that is subject to the
provisions of Title I of ERISA, a plan described in Section 4975(e)(i) of the
Code or any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a
plan's investment in the entity (each, a "Benefit Plan"). Each
Certificateholder, by virtue of the acquisition and holding of a Certificate,
will be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Depositor and the
Trustee that such Certificateholder is not a Benefit Plan.
SECTION 4.07. AUTHENTICATING AGENT. (a) The Trustee may appoint one or
more authenticating agents with respect to the Certificates which shall be
authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating the Certificates in
connection with the issuance, delivery, registration of transfer, exchange or
repayment of the Certificates. Whenever reference is made in this Agreement to
the authentications of Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate
of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on
behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent and a certificate of
authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent.
Each authenticating agent must be acceptable to the Depositor.
(b) Any institution succeeding to the corporate agency business of any
authenticating agent shall continue to be an authenticating agent without the
execution or filing of any power or any further act on the part of the Trustee
or such authenticating agent. An authenticating agent may at any time resign by
giving notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Depositor. The Trustee
may at any time terminate the agency of an authenticating agent by giving notice
of termination to such authenticating agent and to the Depositor. Upon receiving
such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time
an authenticating agent shall cease to be acceptable to the Trustee or the
Depositor, the Trustee promptly may appoint a successor authenticating agent.
Any successor authenticating agent, upon acceptance of its appointment
hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an
authenticating agent. No successor authenticating agent shall be appointed
unless acceptable to the Trustee and the Depositor. The Depositor agrees to pay
to each authenticating agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its
services under this Section. In the event the Trustee acts as authenticating
agent hereunder, the provisions of Article V shall be applicable to the Trustee
in such other capacity as authenticating agent.
(c) Pursuant to an appointment made under this Section, the
Certificates may have endorsed thereon, in lieu of the Trustee's certificate of
authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in substantially the

SECTION 4.08. BOOKENTRY CERTIFICATES. The Certificates, upon original
issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates
for each Class representing the BookEntry Certificates, to be delivered to DTC,
the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Trust. The Certificates
shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of Cede &
Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Certificateholder will
receive a Definitive Certificate (as defined below) representing such
Certificateholder's interest in the Certificates, except as provided in Section
4.10. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Certificates ("Definitive
Certificates") have been issued to the applicable Certificateholder pursuant to
Section 4.10.
(a) the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect;
(b) the Depositor and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency
and the Clearing Agency Participant for all purposes (including the making of
distributions in respect of the Certificates) as the authorized representatives
of the respective Certificateholders;
(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with
any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section shall
control;
(d) the rights of the respective Certificateholders shall be exercised
only through the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency participants and shall
be limited to those established by law and agreements between such
Certificateholders and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency
Participants pursuant to the Depository Agreement. Unless and until Definitive
Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 4.10, the initial Clearing Agency
will make bookentry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive
and transmit distributions of principle and interest and any other amounts on
the related Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants; and
(e) whenever this agreement requires or permits actions to be taken
with the consent of, or at the direction of, Certificateholders evidencing a
specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount or notional amount, as
the case may be, of Outstanding Certificates of any Class, the Clearing Agency
shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has
received instructions to such effect from Certificateholders and/or Clearing
Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required
percentage of the beneficial interest in the principal amount or notional
amount, as the case may be, of the applicable Class of Certificates and has
delivered instructions to the Trustee.
SECTION 4.09. NOTICES TO CLEARING AGENCY. Whenever any notice or other
communication is required to be given to Certificateholders with respect to
which BookEntry Certificates have been issued, unless and until Definitive
Certificates shall have been issued to the related Certificateholders, the
Trustee shall give all such notices and communications to the Clearing Agency.
SECTION 4.10. DEFINITIVE CERTIFICATES. If BookEntry Certificates have
been issued with respect to any Class and (a) the depositor advised the Trustee
that DTC is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities
under the Depository Agreement with respect to such Class and the Trustee or the
Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Depositor, at its
option, advises the Trustee that it elects to terminate the bookentry system
with respect to such Class through the Clearing Agency or (c) after the
occurrence of a payment default with respect to the CRB Certificates,
Certificateholders representing at least a majority of the outstanding principal
amount of Certificate of such Class advise the Clearing Agency (which shall then
notify the Trustee) in writing that the continuation of a bookentry system with
respect to the Certificates of such Class through the Clearing Agency is no
longer in the best interests of the holders of such Certificates, then the
Trustee shall cause the Clearing Agency to notify all holders of such
Certificates, through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of any such event
and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to holders of such
Certificates requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of any such
Certificates representing BookEntry Certificates by the Clearing Agency,
accompanied by instructions for reregistration, the Trustee shall execute
authenticate and deliver such Certificates as Definitive Certificates to such
Certificateholders in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency.
None of the Trust, the Depositor or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in
delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of such Definitive
Certificate, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be
performed by the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and
performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such
Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of such
Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, distributions of amount
in respect of such Definitive Certificates shall thereafter be made by the
Trustee on each Distribution Date in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 3.05 directly to holders of Definitive Certificates in whose names the
Definitive Certificates were registered at the close of business on the related
Record Date. Such distributions shall be made by check mailed to the address of
such holder as it appears on the Certificate Register maintained by the Trustee
(or, as provided in Section 3.05, by wire transfer); provided, however, that the
final payment on any such Definitive Certificate shall be made only upon
presentation and surrender of such Definitive Certificate at the office or
agency specified in the notice of final distribution to Certificateholders.

material manner, the Trustee shall take such action as a Majority in Interest of
Certificateholders shall direct, and the Trustee will provide notice thereof to
the Depositor, the Certificateholders and each Rating Agency.

Majority in Interest of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. The Trustee
may, in its discretion, and will, if so directed by a Majority in Interest of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby, proceed to enforce any rights which
it may have as a holder of CRB Certificates. In addition, a Majority in Interest
of each Class of Certificates may together direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee as a holder of

modification or waiver under any document relating to the CRB Certificates, or
receives any other solicitation for any action with respect to the CRB
Certificates, (ii) the Depositor notifies the Trustee of its determination that

trust under the Code if any such action were to be taken, then, (x) the Trustee
shall mail a notice of such proposed action, including a description thereof, to
each Certificateholder of record as of such date, (y) the Trustee shall request
instructions from the Certificateholders as to whether or not to take such
action and (z) the Trustee shall vote, give consent or otherwise act as

(or, if such a proportional action is not permitted, in accordance with the
instructions of Holders of a Majority in Interest of the Certificates) as of a
date determined by the Trustee prior to the date on which such action is
required, provided that the Trustee shall have no liability for any failure to
act resulting from Certificateholders' late return of, or failure to return,
directions requested by the Trustee from the Certificateholders. If each of the
conditions set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the next preceding sentence
are not satisfied, then the Trustee shall abstain from taking any action with
respect to any vote, consent or other action that is referred to in clause (i)

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise or enforce any of the rights or
powers vested in it by this Agreement or as the Collateral Holder, at the
request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless such
Certificateholders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity
satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be
incurred by the Trustee in compliance with such request, order or direction or
if such request, order or direction is in conflict with any rule of law or this
Agreement. In the event of any default under this Agreement by the Depositor or
any default under the CRB Certificates, subject to compliance with paragraph (d)
above, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the
rights of Certificateholders by any action, suit or proceeding deemed proper by
the Trustee which is not inconsistent with any request or direction by the
Holders of a Majority in Interest of the Certificates of each Class affected
thereby.
(f) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own misconduct or from liability for any negligent action or any
negligent failure to act in respect of the Trust Property, the CRB Certificates
or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in any capacity other than as Trustee;

statements furnished to the Trustee that conform on their face to the
requirements of this Agreement;

action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and believed
by it to be authorized or within its discretion or authority hereunder or in
accordance with the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 66 2/3% of all the Certificates
relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon
the Trustee, under this Agreement.
SECTION 5.02. CERTAIN MATTERS AFFECTING THE TRUSTEE. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 5.01:
(i) the Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be protected
in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's
Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed
by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties;
(ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of
Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in
good faith and in accordance therewith;
(iii) except for the duties and obligations of the Trustee
expressly created by this Agreement, the Trustee shall be under no
obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by
this Agreement or to make any investigation of matters arising
hereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder
or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, or
if such request or direction is in conflict with any rule of law or
this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to
the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the
obligation, to use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise
of rights and remedies hereunder on behalf of Certificateholders as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct of his own affairs;
(iv) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents or attorneys;
(v) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for any loss
resulting from the investment of funds held in the Certificate Account
pursuant to Section 3.03; and
(vi) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge
of any matter unless a Responsible Officer assigned to and working in
the Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless

Trust Office and such notice references the Certificates generally or
this Agreement.
SECTION 5.03. TRUSTEE NOT LIABLE FOR CERTIFICATES. The recitals
contained herein and in the Certificates, other than the signature of the
Trustee on the Certificates and the certificate of authentication, shall be
taken as the statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations or
warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the
Certificates or of the CRB Certificates or related documents, other than the
signature of the Trustee on the Certificates and the certificate of
authentication. The Trustee shall not be accountable hereunder or under the
Certificates, except (i) for its own bad faith or negligence or (ii) in the case
of the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in Section 5.12
expressly made by the Trustee.
SECTION 5.04. TRUSTEE MAY OWN CERTIFICATES. The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates
with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee; provided, however,
that in determining whether the Holders of the required Percentage Interest
shall have consented to any action hereunder requiring such consent, the
Trustee's interest shall be excluded.
SECTION 5.05. TRUSTEE'S FEES AND EXPENSES. The Depositor covenants and
agrees to pay to the Trustee on the Closing Date, and the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive from time to time out of amounts collected and payments
received in respect of the CRB Certificates, reasonable compensation (which
shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a
trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of
the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the
powers and duties hereunder or of the Trustee, and the Depositor will pay or
reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with
any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation
and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not
regularly in its employ), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as
may arise from the Trustee's willful misfeasance, negligence or bad faith. The
Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be
indemnified by the Depositor and held harmless against any loss, liability or
expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement
or the Certificates, or the performance of any of the Trustee's duties
hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties
hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder; provided that (i) with respect to any such loss, liability or
expense, the Trustee shall have given to the Depositor written notice thereof
promptly after the Trustee shall have knowledge thereof and (ii) while
maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee shall cooperate and
consult fully with the Depositor. Such indemnity shall survive the termination
or discharge of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.
Any payment hereunder made by the Depositor to the Trustee shall be from the
Depositor's own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust Property therefor.
SECTION 5.06. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall
at all times be a corporation or a national banking association organized and

corporation or association publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes 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 conditions so published. In
the event that any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 5.07. The corporation or
national banking association serving as Trustee may have normal banking and
trust relationships with the Depositor and its Affiliates; provided, however,
that such corporation shall not be an Affiliate of the Depositor.

Majority in Interest of Certificateholders) shall as promptly as possible (and
in any event within 30 days after the date of such notice of resignation)
appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, which
instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and to the successor
trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders
and each Rating Agency by the Depositor. If no successor trustee shall have been
so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of
such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee for the
Certificates.
(b) If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor or a Majority in Interest of the
Certificateholders, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of
acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee
or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge
or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, reorganization, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor
(with the consent of a Majority in Interest of Certificateholders) may remove
the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate,
which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and to the
successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the
Certificateholders and each Rating Agency by the Depositor.
(c) The Holders of Certificates representing not less than a Majority
in Interest of Certificateholders may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint
a successor trustee upon 30 days' notice to the Trustee by written instrument or
instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneysinfact duly
authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the
Depositor, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to
the successor trustee so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered
to the Certificateholders and each Rating Agency by the Depositor.
(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not
become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 5.08.
SECTION 5.08. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. (a) Any successor trustee appointed
as provided in Section 5.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to each of
the Depositor, the Certificateholders and its predecessor trustee and each
Rating Agency an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon
the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and
such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as Trustee
herein. The predecessor Trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee the CRB
Certificates and all related documents and statements held by it hereunder, and
the Depositor and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more
fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all the
rights, powers, duties and obligations of the Trustee under this Agreement. No
successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at
the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 5.06.
(b) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided
in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in
the Certificate Register.

which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the
Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 5.06, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Trustee
shall provide notice of any such merger to each Rating Agency.
SECTION 5.10. APPOINTMENT OF COTRUSTEE OR SEPARATE TRUSTEE.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust Property or property securing the same may at the time be located,
the Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by
the Trustee to act as cotrustee or cotrustees, jointly with the Trustee, or
separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Property,
and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust
Property, or any part thereof, and subject to the other provisions of this
Section 5.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Depositor and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Depositor
shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it
of a request so to do, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such
appointment. No cotrustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to
meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 5.06
hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates or Rating Agencies of the
appointment of cotrustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under
Section 5.08.
(b) In the case of any appointment of a cotrustee or separate trustee
pursuant to this Section 5.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co trustee
jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or cotrustee is not
authorized to act separately without the 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 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 Property or any portion
thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such
separate trustee or cotrustee at the direction of the Trustee. The Depositor and
the Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation or remove any
separate trustee or cotrustee.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the 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 cotrustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article V. Each separate trustee and cotrustee, 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 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 Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the
Depositor.
(d) Any separate trustee or cotrustee may, at any time, constitute and
appoint the Trustee as its agent or attorneyinfact, 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 cotrustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all
its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.

an authenticating agent on its behalf, if applicable) of this Agreement and the
Certificates;
(iii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
Certificates by the Trustee and its performance of and compliance with the terms
of this Agreement, and the Certificates will not violate the Trustee's articles
of incorporation, association or other constitutive documents or Bylaws or
constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both,
would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach or acceleration of,
any material contract, agreement or other instrument to which the Trustee is a
party or which may be applicable to the Trustee or any of its assets;
(iv) as of the Closing Date, each of this Agreement and the
Certificates have been duly executed and delivered by the Trustee (and, with
respect to the Certificates, by an authenticating agent on its behalf, if
applicable) and this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Trustee, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as
enforcement may be limited by the applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors
generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);
(v) the Trustee is not in violation, and the execution and delivery of
this Agreement and the Certificates by the Trustee and its performance and
compliance with the respective terms of this Agreement and the Certificates will
not constitute a violation, of any order or decree of any court or any order or
regulation of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency having
jurisdiction over the Trustee or its properties, which violation would
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the condition
(financial or otherwise) or operations of the Trustee or its properties or on
the performance of its duties thereunder);
(vi) there are no actions or proceedings against, or investigations
of, the Trustee pending, or, to the knowledge of the Trustee, threatened, before

expected to prohibit its entering into this Agreement or to render the
Certificates invalid, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Certificates or
the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or (C) that
could reasonably be expected to prohibit or materially and adversely affect the
performance by the Trustee of its obligations under, or the validity or
enforceability of this Agreement or the Certificates; and
(vii) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and
performance by the Trustee of, or compliance by the Trustee with, this Agreement
or the Certificates, or for consummation of the transactions contemplated
herein, except for such consents, approvals, authorizations and orders, if any,
as have been obtained prior to the Closing Date.
(b) Within 30 days of the earlier of discovery by the Trustee or
receipt by the Trustee of notice from the Depositor or any Certificateholder of
a breach of any representation or warranty of the Trustee set forth in paragraph
(a) above that materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders, the Trustee shall promptly cure such breach in all material
respects.
SECTION 5.13. LIMITATION OF POWERS AND DUTIES. The Trust is
constituted solely for the purposes of acquiring and holding the CRB
Certificates, issuing the Certificates, making distributions thereon and other
activities incidental thereto. The Trustee is not authorized to acquire any
other investments or engage in any activities not authorized herein and, in
particular, the Trustee is not authorized (i) to sell, assign, transfer,
exchange, pledge, setoff or otherwise dispose of any of the CRB Certificates or
interests therein, including to Certificateholders (except upon termination of
the Trust in accordance with Article VII or in accordance with Section 5.01),
(ii) to do anything that would cause the Trust to fail or cease to qualify as a
"grantor trust" for Federal income tax purposes or (iii) to do anything that

Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation, and will obtain and preserve its
qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in
which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement and the Certificates and to perform its duties
under this Agreement. The Depositor may be merged or consolidated with or into
any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, in
which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the
Depositor shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the
Depositor, shall be the successor of the Depositor hereunder without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

the Depositor shall be under any liability to the Trust, the Trustee or the
Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any
action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment;
provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor or any
such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or
against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Depositor and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Depositor may rely in good faith on any
document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by
any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor shall be indemnified and

ARTICLE VII

OF CRB CERTIFICATES
SECTION 7.01. TERMINATION. (a) The respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Depositor and the Trustee created hereby with respect to
the Certificates (other than the obligation to make certain payments and to send
certain notices to Certificateholders as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate
immediately upon the occurrence of the last action required to be taken by the
Trustee on the Distribution Date pursuant to this Article VII following the
earlier to occur of (i) the final distribution by the Trustee of all money or
other property or proceeds of the Trust Property in accordance with the terms
hereof and (ii) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor
of the descendants of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the late Ambassador of the United
States to the Court of St. ▇▇▇▇▇, living on the date hereof.
(b) Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date upon
which all Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for
payment and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to
Certificateholders mailed no later than the first day of the month of such final
distribution specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which final payment of
the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at
the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose, (ii) the amount
of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to

upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of
the Trustee therein specified. Upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders an
amount equal to the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date.
(c) Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because
of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be
set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate nontendering
Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Property shall terminate. If any
Certificates as to which notice of the termination date has been given pursuant
to this Section 7.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six
months after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second
notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the
Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order
to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto.
If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall directly or through an agent,
take reasonable steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such
funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which
remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall
not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to the
Depositor all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof and the Depositor
shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders. No interest
shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a
result of such Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for
final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 7.01.
SECTION 7.02. OPTIONAL PURCHASE OF CRB CERTIFICATES. As of any
Distribution Date as of which the then outstanding Aggregate Collateral Balance
is [5%] or less of the Aggregate Collateral Balance as of the Cutoff Date, the
Depositor shall have the option to purchase the outstanding CRB Certificates. To
exercise such option, the Depositor shall deposit in the Certificate Account an
amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the then outstanding
CRB Certificates together with any accrued interest thereon through the related
Payment Date, and shall succeed to all interests of the Trust, the Trustee and
the Certificateholders in and to such CRB Certificates. The Trustee shall apply
such funds deposited in the Certificate Account by the Depositor pursuant to
this Section 7.02 in order to retire the Certificates as of such Distribution
Date.

from time to time by the Depositor and the Trustee without the consent of any of
the Certificateholders (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement
any provisions herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other
provisions herein, (iii) to add any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under this Agreement not inconsistent with the terms of this
Agreement or (iv) if such amendment, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
delivered to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary to comply with any
requirements imposed by the Code or other written official announcement or
interpretation relating to federal income tax laws or any such proposed action
which, if made effective, would apply retroactively to the Trust Property at
least from the effective date of such amendment; provided that such action
(except any amendment described in (iv) above) shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee, adversely affect in any material
respect the rights of any Certificateholder.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement
may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of the
then outstanding aggregate principal amount or notional amount, as the case may
be, of the Certificates of each Class adversely affected thereby for the purpose
of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Certificateholders of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment
shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments
required to be distributed on any such Certificate without he consent of the
Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as
described in clause (i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of
such Class evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of the then outstanding aggregate
principal amount or notional amount, as applicable, of such Class or (iii)
change the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of which are
required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of
all such Certificates then outstanding of the given Class.
(c) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee
shall furnish a written statement describing the substance of the amendment to
each Certificateholder and each Rating Agency. It shall not be necessary for the
consent of Certificateholders under this Section 8.01 to approve the particular
form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall
approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of
evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders
shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or modification to
this Agreement shall be permitted unless the Trustee receives an Opinion of
Counsel that such amendment or modification will not alter the status of the
trust for United States federal income tax purposes.
(e) The Holders of Certificates representing not less than a Majority
in Interest of Certificateholders may, on behalf of all Certificateholders,
waive in writing any default by the Depositor or the Trustee in the performance
of its obligations hereunder and any consequences thereof, except a default by
the Trustee in failing to distribute amounts received in respect of the CRB
Certificates and except a default in respect of a covenant or provision the
modification or amendment of which would require the consent of the Holder of
each Outstanding Certificate affected thereby. Upon any such waiver of a past
default, such default shall cease to exist; provided, however, that no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right
consequent thereto.
SECTION 8.02. LIMITATION ON RIGHTS OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS. (a) The
death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this
Agreement or the Trust Property, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust Property, nor
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them.
(b) No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation
and management of the Trust Property, or the obligations of the parties hereto,
nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the
Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time
to time as partners or members of any association; nor shall any
Certificateholder be under any liability to any third party by reason of any
action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
(c) No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless (a) the
Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 25% of all the Certificates shall have made written request upon the
Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee
hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it
may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein
or thereby, (b) the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any
such action, suit or proceeding and (c) no direction inconsistent with such
written request shall have been given to the Trustee during such 60 day period
by the Holders of Certificates evidencing a majority of Percentage Interests of
all the Certificates. It is understood and agreed that the Trustee shall be
under no obligation to make any investigation of matters arising under this
Agreement or to institute conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in
relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any Certificateholders
unless such Certificateholders have offered to the Trustee the reasonable
indemnity referred to above. It is further understood and agreed, and expressly
covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the
Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any
manner whatever by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other Certificates, or to obtain
or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to
enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided.
For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and
every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can
be given either at law or in equity.
SECTION 8.03. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement and the Certificates shall
be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without
reference to such state's principles of conflicts of law to the extent that the
application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby, and
the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be

SECTION 8.05. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. If any one or more of the
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any
reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or

enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Certificates
or the rights of the Holders thereof.
SECTION 8.06. NOTICE TO EACH RATING AGENCY. The Trustee shall use its
best efforts promptly to provide notice to each Rating Agency with respect to
each of the following of which it has actual knowledge:
(i) any material change or amendment to this Agreement;
(ii) the resignation or termination of the Trustee;

(iv) any change in the location of the Certificate Account.
In addition, the Trustee shall promptly furnish to each Rating Agency

provided to the Trustee from time to time.
SECTION 8.07. NO PETITION. Each of the Trustee and the Depositor, by
entering into this Agreement, and each Certificateholder, by accepting a
Certificate, hereby covenant and agree that they will not at any time institute
against the Trust, or join in any institution against the Trust of, any
bankruptcy proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or
similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Certificates, or
this Agreement. The Trustee covenants and agrees that it will have secured a
written acknowledgement (which need not be a separate document) from any Person
proposing to provide any service by such Person, that such Person will not at
any time institute against the Trust, or join in any institution against the
Trust of, any bankruptcy proceedings under any United States federal or state
bankruptcy or similar law in connection with the provision of such service.
SECTION 8.08. NO RECOURSE. Each Certificateholder by accepting a
Certificate acknowledges that such Certificateholder's Certificates represent
beneficial interests in the Trust only and do not represent interests in or
obligations of the Depositor, the Trustee, or any Affiliate, employee or agent
of the foregoing Persons and no recourse may be had against such Persons or
their respective assets, except as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement
or the Certificates.
SECTION 8.09. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. It is the express intent of
the parties to this Agreement that the conveyance of the CRB Certificates by the
Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, a sale of the CRB Certificates
by the Depositor and not a pledge of any CRB Certificates by the Depositor to
secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that,
notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, any CRB Certificates
are held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a) it is the express intent of
the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of such CRB Certificates by
the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the
Depositor and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security
agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code
as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the conveyance
provided for in Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to
the Trustee of a security interest in all the Depositor's right, title and
interest in and to such CRB Certificates and all amounts payable to the holders
of such CRB Certificates in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds
of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash,
instruments, securities or other property, including all amounts from time to
time held or invested in the Certificate Account, whether in the form of cash,
instruments, securities or other property; (3) the obligations secured by such
security agreement shall be deemed to be all the Depositor's obligations under
this Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the Certificateholders
the benefits of this Agreement; and (4) notifications to persons holding such
property, and acknowledgements, receipts or confirmations from persons holding
such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgements, receipts
or confirmation from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as
applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest
under applicable law. Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a
security interest in the CRB Certificates and all other property described in
clause (2) of the immediately preceding sentence for the purpose of securing to
the Trustee the performance by the Depositor of the obligations described in
clause (3) of the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the parties to this Agreement intend the transfer pursuant to Section 2.01 to be
true, absolute and unconditional sale of the CRB Certificates and assets
constituting the Trust Property by the Depositor to the Trustee. The depositor
and the Trustee shall to the extent consistent with this Agreement take such
actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to
create a security interest in the CRB Certificates, such security interest would
be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable
law and will be maintained as such for so long as any of the CRB Certificates
remain outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Trustee shall file, or shall cause to be filed, all filings necessary to
maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect in any jurisdiction to perfect the Trustee's
security interest in or lien on the CRB Certificates, including (x) continuation
statements and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by (A) any change
of name of the Depositor or the Trustee, (B) any change of location of the place
of business or the chief executive office of the Depositor or (C) any transfer
of any interest of the Depositor in any CRB Certificate.
SECTION 8.10. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The provisions of this Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and
assigns of the parties hereto, and all such provisions shall inure to the
benefit of the Certificate holders.
SECTION 8.11. ARTICLE AND SECTION HEADINGS. The article and section
headings herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or
otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
SECTION 8.12. CERTIFICATES NONASSESSABLE AND FULLY PAID. It is the
intention of this Agreement that Certificateholders shall not be personally
liable for obligations of the Trust Property, that the beneficial ownership
interests represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for any losses
or expenses of the Trust Property or for any reason whatsoever, and that
Certificates, upon execution, authentication and delivery thereof by the Trustee
pursuant to Section 2.04, are and shall be deemed fully paid.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor and the Trustee have caused their
names to be signed hereto by their respective officers thereunto duly
authorized, all as of the day and year first above written.

The Certificates are limited in right of distribution to certain
