To the extent that the Trust Account is maintained by the Trust Administrator in the manner provided for in clause (ii) above, all references herein to deposits and withdrawals from the Trust Account shall be deemed to refer to credits and debits to the related books of the Trust Administrator.
The Trust Administrator shall deposit in the Trust Account all distributions in respect of the Uncertificated REMIC Interests received by it as Trust Administrator hereunder. All such distributions deposited from time to time in the Trust Account and all investments made with such moneys, including all income or other gain from such investments, shall be held by the Trust Administrator in the Trust Account as part of the Trust Fund as herein provided, subject to withdrawal by the Trust Administrator for distributions on the Certificates.
Section 3.03. Distributions.

Except as provided in Article V and Article VII, no Certificateholder shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust Fund 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 an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Trust Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
