In addition, any Retained Notes will be subject to same ERISA restrictions and consequences discussed above applicable to the Certificates unless either (a) as of the date such Retained Notes are sold or transferred: (i) the owner of the Certificates is (x) a REIT, (y) a Qualified REIT Subsidiary or (z) an entity that is disregarded for United States federal income tax purposes that is wholly owned by a REIT or a Qualified REIT Subsidiary; (ii) no modifications have been made to the Basic Documents as of the date of such sale or transfer; (iii) the rating of the Retained Notes as of the date of such sale or transfer is not lower than the rating for such Retained Notes as of the Closing Date; and (iv) no adverse changes have been made to (or that would adversely affect the application of) the legal authorities applicable to the Closing Date tax opinions or (b) a “will be debt” tax opinion is delivered with respect to such Retained Notes from a law firm generally recognized to be qualified to opine concerning the tax aspects of asset securitization.

At the option of a Holder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.09. Every 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 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 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 Certificates. No Certificates may be transferred (or re-transferred) unless 100% of all Certificates are transferred (or re-transferred) to one Person for federal income tax purposes, and no Person shall become a Certificateholder until it shall establish its non-foreign status by submitting to the Certificate Paying Agent an IRS Form W-9 and the Certificate of Non-Foreign Status set forth in Exhibit D hereto. No person shall become a Certificateholder until it shall establish its status as a REIT, as a “qualified REIT subsidiary” or by an entity that is wholly-owned by a REIT or a “qualified REIT subsidiary” and disregarded for federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 856(a) or Section 856(i) of the Code, respectively, by submitting to the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee, the Transferee Certificate set forth in Exhibit H hereto. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Certificate shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition 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. In the event of any such transfer, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor shall prior to such transfer require the transferee to execute (A) either (i) (a) an investment letter in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (or in such form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor) which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer or the Depositor and which investment letter states that, among other things, such transferee (1) is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined under Rule 144A, acting for its own account or the accounts of other “qualified institutional buyers” as defined under Rule 144A, and (2) is aware that the proposed transferor intends to rely on the exemption from registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Rule 144A or (ii) (a) a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, the Owner Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer or the Depositor and (b) the transferee executes a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto, and transferor executes a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, each acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, the Owner Trustee and the Depositor certifying the facts surrounding such transfer, which representation letters shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer or the Depositor and (B) the Certificate of Non-Foreign Status (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, the Owner Trustee and the Depositor, which certificate shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor. The Holder of a Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. No transfer of Certificates or any interest therein shall be made to any Person unless the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Servicer are provided with an Opinion of Counsel which establishes to the satisfaction of the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Servicer that the purchase of Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in any prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Servicer to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Servicer. In lieu of such Opinion of Counsel, a Person acquiring such Certificates may provide a certification in the form of Exhibit G to this Agreement, which the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Servicer may rely upon without further inquiry or investigation. Neither an Opinion of Counsel nor a certification will be required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any affiliate thereof shall be deemed to have represented that such affiliate is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets) and the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor. No offer, sale, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition (including any pledge, sale or transfer under a repurchase transaction or securities loan) of any Certificate shall be made to any transferee unless, prior to such disposition, the proposed transferor delivers to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar an Opinion of Counsel, rendered by a law firm generally recognized to be qualified to opine concerning the tax aspects of asset securitization, to the effect that such transfer (including any disposition permitted following any default under any pledge or repurchase transaction) will not cause the Trust to be (i) treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax and relevant state income and franchise tax purposes or (ii) taxable as a “publicly traded partnership” as defined in Treasury Regulation section 1.7704-1 for federal income tax purposes and relevant state franchise or income tax purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to the initial transfer of the Certificates to the Depositor.
