All payments of principal with respect to all of the Class E Certificates of a Series shall be made on a pro rata basis based upon the ratio that the Outstanding Principal Amount of a Class E Certificate bears to the Outstanding Principal Amount of all Class E Certificates of such Series; provided that, i -------- as a result of such proration a portion of such principal would be less than $0.01, then such payment shall be reduced to the nearest whole cent. In addition, the Certificate Prepayment Fee Amount, if any, shall be distributed on each Payment Date to the Holders of the Class E Certificates to the extent such Class is receiving a distribution of Prepaid Principal Amount on such date. All payments of Certificate Prepayment Fee Amounts with respect to the Class E Certificates shall be made prorata based upon the ratio of the Outstanding Principal Amount of this Certificate to the Outstanding Principal Amount of Class E Certificates of this Series, provided that if as a result of such proration, a portion of such payment would be less than $0.01, then such payment shall be reduce to the nearest whole cent. The interest and principal so payable on any Payment Date will, as provided in the Trust Agreement, be paid to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date for such Payment Date, which shall be the close of business on the last day of the month prior to such Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day). The principal and interest on this Certificate are payable by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified in writing to the Trustee by the Person whose name appears as the Registered Holder of this Certificate on the Certificate Register received at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Record Date for the Payment Date (or if no such account is specified or if such wire fails, by check mailed by first-class mail to the Person whose name appears as the Registered Holder of this Certificate on the Certificate Register at the address of such Person as it appears on the Certificate Register), in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Funds represented by checks returned undelivered will be held for payment to the Person entitled thereto, subject to the terms of the Trust Agreement, at the office or agency in the United States of America designated as such by the Depositor for such purpose pursuant to the Trust Agreement. The Depositor has structured the Trust Agreement and the Certificates with the intention that the Trust be treated as a partnership, with the assets of the partnership including all of the assets of the Trust Estate and the partners of the partnership being all of the Certificateholders and the Depositor. The Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer and each Certificateholder, by acceptance of its Certificate (and any Person that is a beneficial owner of any interest in a Certificate, by virtue of such Person's acquisition of a beneficial interest therein), agree to report the transactions contemplated thereby in accordance with such stated intentions unless and until determined to the contrary by an applicable taxing authority. The property of the Trust Estate includes certain Loan Assets and certain other assets described in the Trust Agreement. The Class E Certificates of the 1999-1 Series and all other Series of Class E Certificates issued under the Trust Agreement are generally payable out of the Trust Estate pari passu among such Class E Certificateholders equally and ratably without prejudice, priority or distinction between any Class E Certificate by reason of time of issue or otherwise. The Class E Certificates are payable only out of the Trust Estate and do not represent recourse obligations of the Depositor, Allegiance Capital, LLC or any of their respective affiliates or successors. The Trust Agreement pursuant to which this Class E Certificate is issued also provides for the issuance of other Classes and Series of Certificates from time to time. Payments of interest on the Class E Certificates are senior to such payments on other Classes having a lower credit rating from the Rating Agency and are subordinate to payments of interest on any Classes having a higher credit rating form the Rating Agency. Payments of principal in the Class E Certificates are senior to payments of principal on other classes having a lower credit rating from the Rating Agency and are subordinate to such payments on any Class having a higher credit rating from the Rating Agency. Unless the Depositor exercises its Optional Termination rights, the Certificates are payable only at the time and in the manner provided in the Trust Agreement and are not redeemable or prepayable at the option of the Depositor before such time. As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate may be registered on the Certificate Register of the Depositor upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Depositor in the United States of America maintained for such purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee and duly executed by the holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Class E Certificates of authorized denominations and for the same initial aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferees. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Certificate, the Depositor, the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes whether or not this Certificate be overdue, and neither the Depositor, the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Holders of the Certificates under the Trust Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer without the consent of the Holders of the Certificates. The Certificates are issuable only in registered form without coupons in such authorized denominations as provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. This Class E Certificate and the Trust Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles. No reference herein to the Trust Agreement and no provision of this Class E Certificate or of the Trust Agreement shall alter or impair the obligation of the Trust Estate to pay the principal of and interest on this Class E Certificate, but solely from the assets of the Trust Estate at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
Amendments to the Trust Agreement (a) Subject to the provisions of the Trust Agreement, without the consent of the Holders of any Notes or the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee (at the written direction of the Beneficiary) and the Beneficiary may amend the Trust Agreement so long as such amendment will not have an Adverse Effect and is not reasonably expected to have an Adverse Effect at any time in the future.
Payments to the Trustee Any amounts paid to the Trustee pursuant to this Article VIII shall be deemed not to be a part of the Trust Estate immediately after such payment. The Trustee shall also be entitled to interest on all fees and expenses that are due and unpaid for more than sixty (60) days after they have been billed to the party responsible for the payment of such amounts at a rate equal to the rate publicly announced by Wilmington Trust Company as its prime rate from time to time.
