The Owner Trustee hereby acknowledges receipt in trust from the Depositor, as of the Closing Date, of the foregoing contribution, which shall constitute the initial corpus of the Trust Fund.

(b) The Owner Trustee hereby declares that it will hold the Trust Fund in trust upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the use and benefit of the Certificateholder, subject to the obligations of the Trust under the Operative Agreements. It is the intention of the

The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the other parties hereto as of the Closing Date or such other date as is specified, that:

(a) The Depositor has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of Delaware, with full power and authority to own its assets and conduct its business as presently being conducted.

(b) The Depositor has the full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement (including all instruments of transfer to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement) by the Depositor and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized.

(c) This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(d) None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, certificate of formation or operating agreement or any legal restriction or any agreement or instrument to which the Depositor is now a party or by which it is bound, or constitute a default or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Depositor or its property is subject, or impair the ability of the Trust to realize on the Mortgage Loans, or impair the value of the Mortgage Loans.

(e) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of or compliance by the Depositor with this Agreement, or if required, such consent, approval, authorization or order has been obtained prior to the Closing Date.

(f) There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or to its knowledge threatened against the Depositor which, either individually or in the aggregate, may result in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Depositor, or in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Depositor to carry on its business substantially as now conducted, or which would draw into question the validity of this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be contemplated herein, or which

would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Depositor to perform under the terms of this Agreement.

(g) This Agreement is not required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and the Trust is not required to be registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

SECTION 2.11 Tax Treatment.

(a) It is the intention of the Depositor, the Trust and the Certificateholder that, solely for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes the Trust shall be treated as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary so long as any Notes are outstanding and thereafter shall be ignored as an entity separate from the Certificateholder unless otherwise required by applicable law. Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall take any action that they know or that a reasonably prudent trustee or administrator should know to be inconsistent with such intent.

(b) (i) The Securities Administrator shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to the Noteholders and the Certificateholder Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form 1099 (or any successor form) and upon request will deliver, or cause to be delivered, any other information as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations to enable the Noteholders and the Certificateholder to prepare their respective United States federal and state income tax returns; (ii) if applicable, the Depositor will prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all United States federal, state and local income tax returns related to the Trust and will make such elections as may from time to time be required or appropriate under any United States federal or state statute, rule or regulation so as to maintain the proper characterization of the Trust for United States federal or state income tax purposes; and (iii) the Certificateholder shall sign any tax returns required in respect of the Trust.

(c) The Certificate Paying Agent shall comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it with respect to the Certificates of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.

(d) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the distributions (or allocations of income) to the Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable in accordance with this Section 2.11(d). The Certificate Paying Agent is hereby authorized and directed to retain or cause to be retained, from amounts otherwise distributable to the Certificateholder, sufficient funds for the payment of any withholding tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Owner Trustee from contesting any such withholding 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 the 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 sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this paragraph (d). In

order to receive payments free from or at a reduced rate of withholding, the Certificateholder and any transferee thereof agrees and acknowledges that no legal or beneficial interest in all or any portion of the Certificate may be obtained or transferred unless such person provides to the Certificate Paying Agent, on behalf of the Trust, or its designated agent a duly executed IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8IMY (together with all appropriate attachments), or IRS Form W-8ECI (or in each case the appropriate successor form). Each such form must be signed under penalties of perjury and replaced every (3) years (or earlier if there is a change in information) or as required by law.

SECTION 2.12 Investment Company.

Neither the Depositor nor any Certificateholder 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.

SECTION 2.13 Special Purpose Entity.

(a) The Trust shall not incur any additional debt, other than debt related to the Notes outstanding, unless the additional debt is fully subordinated to the Notes outstanding, and in either case, (x) is nonrecourse to the Trust or any of its assets other than cash flow in excess of amounts necessary to pay the Noteholders, and (y) does not constitute a claim against the Trust to the extent that funds are insufficient to pay such additional debt.

(b) The Trust shall not engage in any dissolution, termination, liquidation, consolidation, conversion, merger, or conveyance or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, except as provided in the Operative Agreements and Article VIII hereof, so long as the Notes are outstanding, without prior written notice to the Rating Agencies.

(d) The Trust shall maintain its accounts separate from those of any other Person or entity.

(e) The Trust shall not commingle its assets with those of any other Person or entity.

(f) The Trust shall conduct its business in its own name.

(g) Except as provided in the Operative Agreements, the Trust shall pay its own liabilities, indebtedness and operating expenses out of its own funds.

(h) The Trust shall observe all formalities required by its organizational documents and the Delaware Trust Statute.

(i) The Trust shall maintain an arm’s-length relationship with its affiliates, if any.

(j) The Trust shall not guarantee or become obligated for the debts of any other entity or hold out its credit as being available to satisfy the obligations of others.

(k) Except as provided in the Operative Agreements, the Trust shall not acquire obligations or securities of its affiliates or the Seller.

(l) The Trust shall not pledge its assets for the benefit of any other entity or make any loans or advances to any entity, except as provided in the Operative Agreements and related documentation.

(m) The Trust shall hold itself out as a separate entity.

(n) The Trust shall correct any known misunderstanding regarding its separate identity.

(o) Except as provided in the Operative Agreements, the Trust does not, and will not have, assets other than assets contributed to it by the Certificateholder or sold to it by the Depositor.

(p) The Trust is solvent and will not be rendered insolvent by the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements and, after giving effect to such transactions, the Trust will not have intended to incur, or believe that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. There is no contemplation of the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of the Trust or any of its assets.

(q) All the trust certificates of the Trust are owned by the Initial Certificateholder.

(r) So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Trust shall not claim any credit on, or make any deduction from the principal or interest payable in respect of, the Notes (other than amounts properly withheld from such payments under the Code) or assert any claim against any present or former Noteholder by reason of the payment of the taxes levied or assessed upon any part of the Trust Fund.

(s) So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Trust shall not (a) permit the validity or effectiveness of the Indenture to be impaired, or permit the lien of the Indenture to be amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged, or permit any Person to be released from any covenants or obligations with respect to the Notes under the Indenture except as may be expressly permitted by the Operative Agreements, (b) permit any lien, charge, excise, claim, security interest, mortgage or other encumbrance (other than the lien of the Indenture) to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or burden the Trust Fund or any part thereof or any interest therein or the proceeds thereof (other than tax liens, mechanics’ liens and other liens that arise by operation of law, in each case with respect to any Trust Fund and arising solely as a result of an action or omission of a mortgagor or as otherwise permitted in the Transfer and Servicing Agreement) or (c) permit the lien of the Indenture not to constitute a valid first priority (other than with respect to any such tax, mechanics’ or other lien) or as otherwise permitted in the Transfer and Servicing Agreement) security interest in the Trust Fund.

(t) So long as any Notes are outstanding, except with the prior written consent of the Certificateholder, the Trust shall not take any action described in Section 5.6 of this Agreement.

(u) So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Trust shall not take any action or fail to take any action that would result in an entity level tax on the Trust.

(v) The capital of the Trust is adequate for the business and undertakings of the Trust.

(w) Other than with respect to the purchase by the Initial Certificateholder of the Certificate (including any rights contained therein), the Trust is not engaged in any business transactions with the Initial Certificateholder.

ARTICLE III

THE CERTIFICATE AND TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS

SECTION 3.1 The Certificate.

The Certificate shall be issued as a single certificate in definitive, fully registered form and shall initially be registered in the name of the Initial Certificateholder. The Certificate shall not be issued in an authorized denomination of less than a 100% Percentage Interest in such Certificate. The Certificate shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an Authorized Trust Officer of the Owner Trustee and authenticated in the manner provided in Section 3.2. A Certificate bearing manual 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 the Certificate or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of the Certificate. A Person shall become a Certificateholder and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder upon registration of the Certificate in such Person’s name pursuant to Section 3.3.

SECTION 3.2 Execution, Authentication and Delivery of the Certificate.

Concurrently with the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust pursuant to the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Trust shall cause the Certificate issued hereunder to be executed and authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of the Depositor, signed by its president or any vice president, without further corporate action by the Depositor. The Certificate shall not entitle the Certificateholder to any benefit under this Agreement nor shall it be valid for any purpose unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit A hereto (as applicable), executed by the Securities Administrator, by manual signature. Such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that the Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. A Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.

SECTION 3.3 Registration of and Limitations on Transfer and Exchange of the Certificate.

The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.7, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of the

Certificate and of transfer and exchange of such Certificate as herein provided; provided, however, that the Certificate shall not be issued in any such transfer and exchange representing less than a 100% Percentage Interest in such Certificate, and provided, further, that the Certificate shall not be issued in any such transfer and exchange except in accordance with the provisions and conditions set forth below in this Section 3.3. 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 a Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.7, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or cause the Securities Administrator as its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee, a new Certificate of like tenor evidencing a 100% Percentage Interest in the Certificate so surrendered and dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar.

Every time a Certificate is presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, it shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder or such Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. Each time a Certificate is surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, it 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 a Certificate, 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 such Certificate or any other expense arising as a result of any registration of transfer or exchange.

The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Owner Trustee shall not make and the Certificate Registrar shall not register the transfer or exchange of a Certificate for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to such Certificate.

No transfer of a Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is exempt from or satisfies the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. Except in the case of the initial transfer to the Initial Certificateholder, 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. If a Certificateholder desires to effect the transfer of its Certificate, it 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.

Except in the case of the initial transfer to the Initial Certificateholder, no transfer of the Certificates shall be made unless the Certificate Registrar shall have received a representation (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 or Exhibit C-2) from the proposed transferee of such Certificates to the effect that such proposed transferee is not (A) a retirement plan or an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) or a church plan (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) or other employee benefit plan or arrangement that is subject to any federal, state or local law (“Similar Law”) materially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan”) or a collective investment fund in which such Plans are invested, or an insurance company using assets of separate or general accounts, which include assets of Plans, or are deemed to include such assets, or (B) any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, or with “plan assets” (as defined under the Department of Labor Regulation at 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 or corresponding provisions of Similar Law) of a Plan. Such representation shall not be at the expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor. In addition, any Retained Notes will be subject to the same ERISA restrictions and consequences discussed above applicable to the Certificates unless either (a) the Retained Notes are sold or transferred to a party that is a taxable REIT subsidiary or is not affiliated with the owner of the Certificates and at the time of such sale or transfer: (i) the owner of the Certificates is a Permitted Transferee; (ii) no modifications have been made to the transaction documents; (iii) the respective ratings of the Retained Notes as of the date of such sale or transfer are not lower than the rating of such Retained Note 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 opinion or (b) the holder of the Retained Notes otherwise receives a “will be debt” tax opinion from a law firm generally recognized to be qualified to opine concerning the tax aspects of asset securitization.

Prior to and as a condition of the initial transfer of the Certificate to the Initial Certificateholder, the Initial Certificateholder shall represent and warrant in writing substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit D (section (A)(1)) that it is a REIT, a Qualified REIT Subsidiary, or an entity that is disregarded for federal income tax purposes that is wholly-owned by a REIT or Qualified REIT Subsidiary and that it will only transfer the Certificate to a person that is a Permitted Transferee. Prior to and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of a Certificate, any Prospective Certificateholder shall represent and warrant in writing, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit D hereto, to the Owner Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Certificate Registrar and any of their respective successors that it is a Permitted Transferee and that it will only transfer the Certificate to a person that is a Permitted Transferee. In addition, any Retained Notes will be subject to the same requirements, restrictions and consequences discussed in the preceding sentence applicable to the Certificates unless either (a) the Retained Notes are sold or transferred to a party that is a taxable REIT subsidiary or is not affiliated with the owner of the Certificates and at the time of such sale or transfer: (i) the owner of the Certificates is a Permitted Transferee; (ii) no modifications have been made to the transaction documents; (iii) the respective ratings of the Retained Notes as of the date of such sale or transfer are not lower than the rating of such Retained Note 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 opinion or (b) the holder of the Retained Notes otherwise receives a “will be debt” tax opinion from a law firm generally recognized to be qualified to opine concerning the tax aspects of asset securitization.

The Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificates to contain a legend, substantially similar to the applicable legends provided in Exhibit A hereto, stating that transfer of the Certificates is subject to certain restrictions and referring prospective purchasers of the Certificates to this Section 3.3 with respect to such restrictions.

SECTION 3.4 Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Certificate.

If (a) a mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or (b) the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction that the Certificate has 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 the Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Owner Trustee 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 Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.4, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the 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 Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall constitute conclusive evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

SECTION 3.5 Persons Deemed Certificateholder.

Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator or any Certificate Paying Agent may treat the Certificateholder as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.2 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator or any Certificate Paying Agent shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 3.6 Access to the Certificateholder’s Name and Address.

The Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Depositor or the Owner Trustee, within 15 days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a written request therefor from the Depositor or the Owner Trustee, in such form as the Depositor or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, may reasonably require, the name and address of the Certificateholder as of the most recent Record Date. The Certificateholder, by receiving and holding its Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Trust, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator and 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 3.7 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Certificate Registrar on behalf of the Trust, shall maintain an office or offices or agency or agencies where the Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Certificates and the Operative Agreements 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 applicable Corporate Trust Office of the Securities Administrator as its office for such purposes. The Certificate Registrar shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Certificateholder of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

SECTION 3.8 Certificate Paying Agent.

(a) The Owner Trustee may appoint, and hereby appoints, the Securities Administrator as Certificate Paying Agent under this Agreement.

The Certificate Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Collection 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 Transfer and Servicing Agreement relating to the Certificate Paying Agent and shall:

(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 the Certificates if at any time it ceases to meet the standards under this Section 3.8 required to be met by the Certificate Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and

(v) 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, 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 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 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 Certificateholder entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to the Certificateholder. 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. The provisions of Sections 5.3, 5.4, 6.1, 6.5, 6.7, 6.8, 6.10, 6.11, 7.1 and 7.2 shall apply to the Securities Administrator also in its role as Certificate Paying Agent and Certificate Registrar for so long as the Securities Administrator shall act as Certificate Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other Certificate Paying Agent or Certificate Registrar appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Certificate Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

(a) Except as provided in Section 6.1, the Owner Trustee shall incur no liability to anyone in acting upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties. The Owner Trustee may accept a certified copy of a resolution of the board of directors or other governing body of any corporate or partnership entity as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by such body and that the same is in full force and effect.

Except as provided in this Article VI, in accepting the trusts hereby created the Owner Trustee acts solely as trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity, and all persons having any claim against the Owner Trustee by reason of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements shall look only to the Trust Fund for payment or satisfaction thereof.

SECTION 6.7 Owner Trustee Not Liable for Certificate or Trust Fund.

The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the signatures and countersignatures of the Owner Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and the Owner Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof. The Owner Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of any Operative Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the signatures and countersignatures of the Owner Trustee on the Certificates) or the Notes, or of the Trust Fund 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 assets in the Trust Fund, or the perfection and priority of any security interest created by any assets in the Trust Fund or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust Fund or its ability to generate distributions to the Certificateholder under this Agreement or the Noteholders under the Indenture, including, without limitation: (a) the existence, condition and ownership of any assets in the Trust Fund; (b) the existence and enforceability of any insurance thereon; (c) the existence and contents of any assets in the Trust Fund on any computer or other record thereof; (d) the validity of the assignment of any assets in the Trust Fund to the Trust or of any intervening assignment; (e) the completeness of any assets in the Trust Fund; (f) the performance or enforcement of any assets of the Trust Fund; and (g) the compliance by the Depositor with any warranty or representation made under any Operative Agreements or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation or any action of the Securities Administrator or the Indenture Trustee taken in the name of the Owner Trustee.

SECTION 6.8 Owner Trustee May Own Certificates and Notes.

The Owner Trustee in its individual capacity may become a Certificateholder subject to the requirements of Section 3.3, or the owner or pledgee of Notes and may deal with the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Indenture Trustee in banking transactions with the same rights as it would have if it were not Owner Trustee.

SECTION 6.9 Licenses.

The Depositor shall cause the Trust to use its best efforts to obtain 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.

SECTION 6.10 Doing Business in Other Jurisdictions.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Bank nor the Owner Trustee shall be required to take any action in any jurisdiction other than in the State of Delaware if the taking of such action will (a) require the consent or approval or 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; (b) 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 the Bank or the Owner Trustee; or (c) subject the Bank 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 the Bank 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 (a), (b) and (c) 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 9.5 hereof to proceed with such action.

SECTION 6.11 Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act Certification.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Operative Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall not be required to execute, deliver or certify on behalf of the Trust or any other Person any filings, certificates, affidavits or other instruments in connection with certifications required under the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002.

SECTION 9.1 Eligibility Requirements for Owner Trustee.

The Owner Trustee shall at all times be a corporation satisfying the provisions of Section 3807(a) of the Delaware Trust Statute; authorized to exercise corporate powers; having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state 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, the Rating Agencies. If such corporation shall publish reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose 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 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 9.2.

SECTION 9.2 Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee.

The Owner Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust 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 9.1 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 Trust 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 9.3 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 9.3 Successor Owner Trustee.

Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 9.2 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 Securities Administrator, the Depositor 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.

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 9.1.

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 the Certificateholder, 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 9.4 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, however, that such Person shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.1, 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 9.5 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 Fund 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 Certificate under the Transfer 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 Fund, 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 9.1 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 9.3.

The Owner Trustee hereby appoints the Securities Administrator for the purpose of establishing and maintaining the Collection Account and making the distributions therefrom to the Persons entitled thereto pursuant to Sections 7.4 and 7.5 of the Transfer and Servicing 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:

(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 Depositor and the Owner Trustee acting jointly 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 funds, 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.

An amendment shall not be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder or the Certificateholder, and no opinion referred to in clause (i) of the preceding proviso shall be required to be delivered, if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agencies stating that the amendment would not result in the downgrading, withdrawal or qualification of the respective ratings then assigned to each applicable class of Notes. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, an opinion shall be required with respect to tax matters as set forth in this paragraph.

This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Owner Trustee, with the prior written consent of the Rating Agencies and with the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee, Noteholders evidencing more than 66-

2/3% of the then-outstanding aggregate Class Principal Amount of the Notes and the consent of the Certificateholder 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 Certificateholder; provided, however, that no such amendment shall, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, result in an entity level tax on the Trust; and provided, further, that no such amendment shall (a) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments in respect of the Trust Fund or payments that shall be required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the then-outstanding aggregate Class Principal Amount of the Notes required to consent to or to waive the requirement for the Certificateholder to consent to any such amendment, in either case of clause (a) or (b) without the consent of all of the Noteholders and the Certificateholder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of Sections 2.3, 3.3 or 5.5 hereof may be amended in any manner unless (i) the Noteholders representing 100% of the then-outstanding Notes by aggregate Class Principal Amount have consented in writing thereto, (ii) the Rating Agencies have consent in writing thereto or (iii) the Notes have been paid in full and the Indenture has been discharged.

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Securities Administrator shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to the Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Certificateholder, the Noteholders, the Rating Agencies or the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.1 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

No transfer, by operation of law of any right, title and interest of the Certificateholder in and to its undivided beneficial interest in the Trust Fund or hereunder shall operate to terminate this Agreement or the trusts hereunder or entitle any successor transferee to an accounting or to the transfer to it of legal title to any part of the Trust Fund.

SECTION 10.6 Severability.

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
