The Trustee shall not have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure results from the Trustee's inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

In the case of Form 8-K, the Trustee will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure information on the next Form 10-D. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K needs to be amended, and such amendment relates to any Additional Disclosure, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor and the parties affected thereby and such parties will cooperate to prepare any necessary Form 8-K, 10-DA or 10-KA. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K shall be signed by a duly authorized officer of the Depositor. The parties hereto acknowledge that the performance by the Depositor and the Trustee of their respective duties under this Section 3.11(a)(v) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is contingent upon the Depositor timely performing its duties under this Section.

The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Trustee, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement and the Underlying Certificates as the Trustee reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this Section 3.11; provided, however, the Trustee shall cooperate with the Depositor in connection with any additional filings with respect to the Trust Fund as the Depositor deems necessary under the Exchange Act. Fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with this Section 3.11 shall not be reimbursable from the Trust Fund. (b) The Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and each of its officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the Trustee's obligations under Sections 3.09, 3.10 and 3.11 or the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. In addition, the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and each of its respective officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Back-Up Certification, any Annual Statement of Compliance, any Assessment of Compliance or any Additional Disclosure provided by the Trustee on its behalf pursuant to Section 3.09, 3.10 or 3.11 (the "Trustee Information"), or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the Trustee Information and not to any other information communicated in connection with the Certificates, without regard to whether the Trustee Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information. The Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and each of its officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the obligations of the Depositor under Sections 3.09, 3.10 and 3.11 or the Depositor's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. In addition, the Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and each of its respective officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Additional Disclosure provided by the Depositor that is required to be filed pursuant to this Section 3.11 (the "Depositor Information"), or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the Depositor Information that is required to be filed and not to any other information communicated in connection with the Certificates, without regard to whether the Depositor Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor or the Trustee, as applicable, then the defaulting party, in connection with any conduct for which it is providing indemnification under this Section 3.11(b), agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the other parties as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the other party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault and the relative benefit of the respective parties. The indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 3.11(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any party to this Agreement. (c) Failure of the Trustee to comply with this Section 3.11 (including with respect to the timeframes required in this Section) which failure results in a failure to timely file the related Form 10-K, shall be deemed a default which may result in the termination of the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.07 and the Depositor may, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Trustee under this Agreement without compensating the Trustee for the same (but subject to the Trustee's right to reimbursement of all amounts for which it is entitled to be reimbursed prior to the date of termination). Upon such termination, the Trustee shall immediately transfer or cause to be transferred to the successor Trustee all Underlying Certificates and other assets of the Trust Fund held by or on behalf of the Trustee. This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no default by the Trustee shall have occurred with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file any report on Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, any Form 15 or Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from the Trustee's inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file any such report, Form or amendment, and does not result from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. (d) This Section 3.11 may be amended without the consent of the Certificateholders. (e) Any report, notice or notification to be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositor pursuant to this Section 3.11, may be delivered via email to ***@*** or, in the case of a notification, telephonically by calling Reg AB Compliance Manager at ###-###-####.

The Group V Exchange Trust Account is initially located at the address of the Group V Exchange Trust Trustee. The Group V Exchange Trust Trustee shall give notice to the Depositor, the Trustee and to the applicable Certificateholders of any new location of the Group V Exchange Trust Account prior to any change thereof. The Group V Exchange Trust Trustee shall have the right to create sub-accounts of the Group V Exchange Trust Account to facilitate the administration of funds.

ARTICLE IV THE CERTIFICATES Section 4.01. The Certificates. (a) The Depository and the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, have entered into a letter agreement dated as of October 31, 2007 (the "Depository Agreement"). Except as provided in Subsection 4.01(b), the Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to a successor to the Depository; (ii) ownership and transfers of registration of such Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iii) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (iv) the Trustee shall deal with the Depository as representative of the Certificate Owners for purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representative shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and (v) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants. All transfers by Certificate Owners of Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. (b) If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository and (B) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor within 30 days or (ii) after the occurrence and continuation of a default hereunder, the Certificate Owners of not less than 51% of the Percentage Interests of the Certificates advise the Trustee and the Depository in writing through the depository participants that the continuation of a book-entry system with respect to the Certificates through the Depository (or its successor) is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, then the Trustee shall request that the Depository notify all Certificate Owners of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully registered Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor 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. (c) The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms set forth in Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2 or Exhibit A-3 hereto. The Certificates shall be executed by manual signature on behalf of the Trustee in its capacity as trustee hereunder by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at the time of signing the proper officers of the Trustee shall be entitled to all benefits under this Agreement, subject to the following sentence, 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 Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Certificate Registrar by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. Pending the preparation of Definitive Certificates, the Trustee may sign and the Certificate Registrar may authenticate temporary Certificates that are printed, lithographed or typewritten, in authorized denominations for Certificates, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers or authorized signatories executing such Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Certificates. If temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause Definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for Definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the office of the Trustee, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Trustee shall sign and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like aggregate principal amount, in authorized denominations, of Definitive Certificates. Until so exchanged, such temporary Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits as Definitive Certificates. (d) The Certificates will be initially registered as a single Certificate held by a nominee of the Depository, and beneficial interests will be held by investors through the book-entry facilities of the Depository in minimum denominations of $100,000 and increments of $1 in excess thereof. Section 4.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. (a) At all times during the term of this Agreement, there shall be maintained at the office of a registrar (the "Certificate Registrar") a register (the "Certificate Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Certificate Registrar may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee is initially appointed (and hereby agrees to act in accordance with the terms hereof) as Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. For so long as the Trustee acts as Certificate Registrar, its Corporate Trust Office shall constitute the offices of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purposes. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee, any other bank or trust company to act as Certificate Registrar under such conditions as the predecessor Certificate Registrar may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment. If the Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor Trustee shall immediately succeed to its predecessor's duties as Certificate Registrar. The Depositor and the Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Certificate Register or to obtain a copy thereof at all reasonable times, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of the Certificate Registrar as to the information set forth in the Certificate Register. Every Certificateholder agrees with the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee that neither the Certificate Registrar, nor the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived. (b) Each Person who has or who acquires any Percentage Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Percentage Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably appointed the Trustee and Depositor or their designees as its attorney-in-fact under clause (b)(iv) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (b)(v) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Percentage Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions: (i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Percentage Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee. (ii) No Person shall acquire a Percentage Interest in a Class R Certificate unless such Percentage Interest is a pro rata undivided interest. (iii) In connection with any proposed transfer of any Percentage Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Trustee shall as a condition to registration of the transfer, require delivery to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of each of the following: (A) an affidavit and agreement in the form of Exhibit G hereto (the "Residual Transfer Affidavit") from the proposed transferee, representing and warranting, amongst other things, that such transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificate that is the subject of the proposed transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, that it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 4.02(b) and any other transfer restrictions applicable to the Class R Certificates and agrees to be bound by them; and (B) a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, from the Holder wishing to transfer the Class R Certificate, representing and warranting, among other things, that no purpose of the proposed transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax; and (C) all of such other documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Trustee as a condition to such registration. (iv) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Percentage Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. If any Disqualified Organization shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate, then the last preceding prior Holder of such Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such transfer of such Class R Certificate. If a non-United States Person shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate, then the last preceding Holder of such Class R Certificate that is a United States Person shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such transfer of such Class R Certificate. If a transfer of a Class R Certificate is disregarded pursuant to the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1 or Section 1.860G-3, then the last preceding prior Holder of such Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such transfer of such Class R Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section or for making any distributions due on such Class R Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Trustee received the related applicable documents specified in clause 4.02(a) and clause 4.02(b)(iii). The Trustee shall be entitled, but shall not be obligated, to recover, from any Holder of a Class R Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such distributions were made, all distributions made to such Holder on such Class R Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the Trustee shall be distributed and delivered by the Trustee to the prior Holder of such Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee. (v) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Percentage Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Trustee shall have the right but not the obligation, without notice to the Holder of such Class R Certificate or any other Person, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of such Class R Certificate. Such purported transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Class R Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Trustee. Such purchaser may, but is not required to be, an affiliate of the Depositor. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Depositor or its affiliates in connection with such sale), expenses and taxes due to the Depositor and/or the Trustee or otherwise, if any, will be remitted by the Trustee to the previous Holder of such Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee, except that in the event that the Trustee determines that the Holder of such Class R Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this Section or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee may withhold a corresponding amount from such remittance as security for such claim. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee and it shall not be liable to any Person as a result of its exercise of such discretion. (vi) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Percentage Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Trustee will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to certain Persons as described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5), all information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the transfer of a Percentage Interest in a Class R Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including the information regarding "excess inclusions" of such Class R Certificates, and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate having as among its record holders at any time any Person who is a Disqualified Organization. The Trustee will be entitled to additional reasonable compensation from such Person for the cost of providing such information, but the Trustee shall in all events be required to furnish such information. (vii) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Residual Transfer Affidavit by a proposed transferee under clause (iii)(A) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee who is assigned to this Agreement has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no transfer of a Percentage Interest in a Class R Certificate to such proposed transferee shall be effected. (viii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Percentage Interest in a Class R Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Residual Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Percentage Interest in a Class R Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Percentage Interest unless it provides a certificate to the Trustee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F. (ix) Each Person holding or acquiring a Percentage Interest in a Class R Certificate, by purchasing a Percentage Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the Trustee written notice that it is a "pass-through interest holder" within the meaning of Temporary Treasury Regulations Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring a Percentage Interest in a Class R Certificate, if it is, or is holding a Percentage Interest in a Class R Certificate on behalf of, a "pass-through interest holder." The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to transfers occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been delivered to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and to the effect that such transfers will not cause REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to qualify as a REMIC or have any adverse impact on such REMIC. (c) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose, the Trustee shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of a like aggregate Percentage Interest. (d) At the option of any Holder, its Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations of a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the offices of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. (e) Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. (f) No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Certificates (except as provided in Section 4.05 with respect to the exchange of any Exchangeable Certificates or Exchanged Certificates), but the Trustee 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. (g) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be destroyed by the Certificate Registrar without liability on its part. Section 4.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) (except in the case of a mutilated Certificate) there is delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar such agreement, security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and 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 but bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee may require the payment by the Certificateholder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible 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 4.04. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 3.05 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any agent of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Section 4.05. Exchangeable Certificates. (a) Upon the presentation and surrender by any Holder of its Exchangeable Certificates in the appropriate combination as set forth on Schedule B, such Holder shall hereunder transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee, all of such Holder's right, title and interest in and to such Exchangeable Certificates, including all payments of interest thereon received after the month of the exchange. (b) The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment of Exchangeable Certificates pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, and hereby declares that it will hold the same in trust for the Certificateholders on the terms in this Agreement contained. (c) Exchangeable Certificates shall be exchangeable on the books of DTC for Exchanged Certificates, and Exchanged Certificates shall be exchangeable on the books of DTC for Exchangeable Certificates, on and after the Closing Date, by notice to the Trustee substantially in the forms of Exhibit H hereto and under the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. (d) In the case of each Combination Group, Certificates of the Classes of Exchangeable Certificates in such Combination Group shall be exchangeable for Certificates of the Class of Exchanged Certificates related to such Combination Group in respective denominations determined based on the proportion that the initial principal amounts of such Exchangeable Certificates bear to the original principal or notional amounts of the related Exchanged Certificates, as set forth in Schedule B. Upon any such exchange the portions of the Exchangeable Certificates designated for exchange shall be deemed cancelled and replaced by the Exchanged Certificate issued in exchange therefor. Correspondingly, except with respect to the Partnership Certificates, Exchanged Certificates related to a Combination Group may be further designated for exchange for Certificates of the Exchangeable Classes in such Combination Group in respective denominations determined based on the proportion that the initial principal amounts of such Exchangeable Certificates bear to the original principal or notional amounts of the related Exchanged Certificates, as set forth in Schedule B. Except with respect to exchanges of the Partnership Certificates, there shall be no limitation on the number of exchanges authorized pursuant to this Section 4.05. Exchanges for the Partnership Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.05 may only be made within six months from the Closing Date, after which no exchanges for any Partnership Certificates shall be permitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositor may agree to extend the period of time upon written notice to the Trustee and with the written consent of the requesting Holder to exchange for Partnership Certificates. The Partnership Certificates may not be exchanged for Certificates of the related Exchangeable Classes in the related Combination Group. (e) In order to effect an exchange of Certificates, the Certificateholder shall notify the Trustee by e-mail at ***@***, ***@*** and ***@*** no later than seven Business Days before the proposed exchange date. The exchange date may be any Business Day from and including the 25th day of the month to the second to the last Business Day of the month subject to the Trustee's approval. The notice must be on the Certificateholder's letterhead, carry a medallion signature guarantee and set forth the following information: the CUSIP number of both Certificates to be exchanged and Certificates to be received, outstanding principal amount and/or notional amount and the original principal amount and/or notional amount of the Certificates to be exchanged; the Certificateholder's DTC participant number; and the proposed exchange date. After receiving the notice, the Trustee shall e-mail the Certificateholder with wire payment instructions relating to the exchange fee. The Trustee will utilize the Deposit and Withdrawal System at DTC to exchange the certificates. A notice becomes irrevocable on the seventh Business Day before the proposed exchange date. (f) Notwithstanding any other provision herein set forth, a fee shall be payable by Bear, Stearns to the Trustee in connection with each exchange equal to $5,000. To the extent the Partnership Certificates are issued, a fee shall be payable by Bear, Stearns to the Group V Exchange Trust Trustee in connection with partnership tax reporting for the Group V Certificates in an amount equal to $15,000. (g) The Group V Exchange Trust shall be established and maintained by the Group V Exchange Trust Trustee hereunder for the purpose of any exchange involving the issuance of Partnership Certificates. The Trustee shall notify the Group V Exchange Trust Trustee of any such proposed exchange, and the Group V Exchange Trust Trustee shall deposit the related Class V-A-1 Certificates into the Group V Exchange Trust and issue the corresponding Partnership Certificates, which shall represent an ownership interest in the Group V Exchange Trust. (h) The Trustee or the Group V Exchange Trust Trustee, as applicable, shall make the first distribution on an Exchanged Certificate or an Exchangeable Certificate received in an exchange transaction on the Distribution Date in the following month to the Certificateholder of record as of the close of business on the last day of the month of the exchange. (i) Any Holder of a Class V-A-1 Certificate that exchanges its Certificate for Partnership Certificates shall agree, as specified in Exhibit H, to provide written notice to the Group V Exchange Trust Trustee of any transfer of such Partnership Certificates (other than a transfer of all such Partnership Certificates to a single person for federal income tax purposes).

(a) Any successor Trustee and Group V Exchange Trust Trustee appointed as provided in Section 5.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Certificateholders and to its predecessor Trustee and Group V Exchange Trust Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder. The resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee and Group V Exchange Trust Trustee shall then become effective and the successor Trustee and Group V Exchange Trust 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 like effect as if originally named as Trustee or Group V Exchange Trust Trustee herein. The predecessor Trustee and Group V Exchange Trust Trustee shall after payment of its outstanding fees and expenses promptly deliver to the successor Trustee and Group V Exchange Trust Trustee the Underlying Certificates, the other assets of the Trust Fund, and related documents and statements held by it hereunder, and the Depositor and the predecessor Trustee and Group V Exchange Trust 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 and Group V Exchange Trust Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or successor Group V Exchange Trust Trustee, as provided in this Section, the successor Trustee and successor Group V Exchange Trust Trustee, as applicable, shall mail notice of the succession of such Trustee and Group V Exchange Trust Trustee hereunder to all Certificateholders at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and to the Rating Agencies.

Such succession shall be valid 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 mail notice of any such merger or consolidation to the Depositor and to the Certificateholders at their address as shown in the Certificate Register. Section 5.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee or successor Group V Exchange Trust Trustee under Section 5.06 hereunder; provided, that if the co-trustee or separate trustee does not meet such eligibility standards, the Trustee or the Group V Exchange Trust Trustee, as applicable, shall remain liable for its actions hereunder, and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 5.08 hereof.

(c) In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 5.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee or the Group V Exchange Trust Trustee, as applicable, and required to be conferred on such co-trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed jointly by the Trustee or the Group V Exchange Trust Trustee, as applicable, and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Trustee or the Group V Exchange Trust Trustee, as applicable, 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 Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee or the Group V Exchange Trust Trustee, as applicable. (d) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee or the Group V Exchange Trust Trustee, as applicable, 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 co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article V. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, 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 the Group V Exchange Trust Trustee, as applicable, 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 or the Group V Exchange Trust Trustee, as applicable. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee or the Group V Exchange Trustee, as applicable. (e) To the extent not prohibited by law, any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, request the Trustee or the Group V Exchange Trust Trustee, as applicable, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to do any lawful act under or with respect to 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 estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee or the Group V Exchange Trust Trustee, as applicable, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor Trustee or Group V Exchange Trust Trustee. (f) No trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of another trustee under this Agreement. The Depositor and the Trustee or the Group V Exchange Trust Trustee, as applicable, acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee. ARTICLE VI THE DEPOSITOR Section 6.01. Liability of the Depositor. The Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the respective obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Depositor herein. Section 6.02. Merger, Consolidation or Conversion of the Depositor. 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. Section 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor and Others. Neither the Depositor nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor shall be under any liability to the Trust 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 other Person against any breach of a representation or warranty made herein, or against any expense or liability specifically required to be borne thereby pursuant to the terms hereof, or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of obligations or duties hereunder, or by reason of reckless disregard of such obligations and duties. 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. Provided that such action is not related to its representations made in or its duties under this Agreement, the Depositor shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding unless such action in its opinion does not involve it in any expense or liability. ARTICLE VII TERMINATION 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, any obligations under Section 5.05 and the obligation to send certain notices to Certificateholders as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon the later of (i) the making of the final payment on or other liquidation of the Underlying Certificates and (ii) the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date hereof. (b) The Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 7.05, give a Notice of Final Distribution to the Holders, the Depositor and the Rating Agencies as soon as practicable of the Distribution Date on which the Trustee anticipates that the final distribution will be made on the Certificates, which notice shall: (i) specify the Distribution Date on which the final distribution is anticipated to be made to Holders; (ii) specify the amount of any such final distribution, if known; and (iii) state that the final distribution to the Holders will be made only upon presentment and surrender of their Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein specified. If the payment on the Certificates is not made on the anticipated Distribution Date for any reason, the Trustee shall promptly mail notice thereof to each Holder, the Depositor and to the Rating Agencies. (c) Upon presentment and surrender of Certificates by the Holders of such Certificates on the Final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to such Certificateholders the amounts otherwise distributable to them on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 3.05(a). Any funds not distributed on a 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 non-tendering Certificateholders, and the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which Notice of Final Distribution 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 segregate all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof and 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. Additional Termination Requirements. (a) Each REMIC that comprises part of the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been furnished with an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (which opinion shall not be at the expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the failure of the Trust to comply with the requirements of this Section 7.02 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F of the Code on such REMIC or (ii) cause such REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates (other than Group V Certificates) are outstanding: (i) within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date for the Certificates (other than the Group V Certificates), at the written direction of Depositor, the Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation of each REMIC. Such plan, which shall be provided to the Trustee by Depositor, shall meet the requirements of a "qualified liquidation" under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder; and (ii) the Depositor shall notify the Trustee at the commencement of such 90-day liquidation period and, at or prior to the time of making of the final payment on the Certificates (other than the Group V Certificates), the Trustee shall sell or otherwise dispose of all of the remaining assets of the Trust Fund (other than the Underlying Group V Certificates) in accordance with the terms hereof. (b) The Trustee and, by their acceptance of the Residual Certificates, the Holders thereof, hereby (i) agree to adopt such a plan of complete liquidation of the related REMIC upon the written request of the Depositor, and to take such action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Depositor and (ii) appoint the Depositor as their attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for purposes of adopting such a plan of complete liquidation. The Trustee shall adopt such plan of liquidation by filing the appropriate statement on the final tax return of each REMIC. ARTICLE VIII TAX ADMINISTRATION Section 8.01. REMIC ADMINISTRATION. (a) REMIC elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement shall be made by the Trustee on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. The regular interests and residual interests in the REMICs shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement. The Trustee shall not permit the creation of any "interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in REMIC I or REMIC II other than the "regular interests" and "residual interests" so designated. (b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day" of REMIC I and REMIC II within the meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. (c) The Trustee shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes) of the REMICs, including but not limited to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to the REMICs that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, but not including expenses of an audit or expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee in fulfilling its duties hereunder or are otherwise payable by the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.03. (d) The Trustee shall be responsible for preparing, at its own expense, and filing in a timely manner, on behalf of REMIC I and REMIC II such Tax Returns as are required to be so filed, using a calendar year as the taxable year of REMIC I and REMIC II on an accrual basis. The Trustee shall sign all such tax returns. The Depositor shall provide the Trustee within 30 days of the Closing Date all information deemed necessary by the Trustee to fulfill its obligations under this Section 8.01(d). The Trustee shall furnish to each Holder of a REMIC II Regular Interest and Class R Certificateholder at the time required by law such information reports or returns as are required by applicable federal, state or local law with respect to REMIC I and REMIC II to enable such Holders to prepare their tax returns and will furnish comparable information to the IRS and other taxing authorities as and when required by law to do so. (e) The Holder of the Class R Certificates at any time holding the largest Percentage Interest thereof shall be designated the "tax matters person" as defined in the REMIC Provisions (the "Tax Matters Person") with respect to REMIC I and REMIC II in the manner provided under Treasury regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulations section ###-###-####(a)(7)-1 and shall act as Tax Matters Person for REMIC I and REMIC II. Any Holder of a Residual Certificate will by acceptance thereof appoint the Trustee as agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of acting as Tax Matters Person for REMIC I and REMIC II during such time as the Trustee does not own any such Residual Certificate. In the event that the Code or applicable Treasury regulations prohibit the Trustee from signing tax or information returns or other statements, or the Trustee from acting as agent for the Tax Matters Person, the Trustee shall take whatever action that in its sole good faith judgment is necessary for the proper filing of such information returns or for the provision of a tax matters person. Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall be bound by this Section. The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall perform on behalf of REMIC I and REMIC II all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMICs under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified person or organization and (ii) to the holders of the REMIC II Regular Interests and the Class R Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions. The Trustee shall, at the expense of the Trust Fund (unless such expenses are incurred by reason of the Trustee's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence), represent REMIC I and REMIC II in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of REMIC I or REMIC II, as the case may be, enter into settlement agreements with any government taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any item of REMIC I or REMIC II, as the case may be, and otherwise act on behalf of REMIC I or REMIC II in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving the Trust Fund. (f) The Trustee and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause REMIC I or REMIC II to take any action necessary or desirable to create or maintain the status of REMIC I and REMIC II as REMICs under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. Neither the Trustee nor the Holder of any Certificate shall knowingly or intentionally take any action, cause the Trust, REMIC I or REMIC II to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of either REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon either REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, in the absence of an Opinion of Counsel or the indemnification referred to in this sentence, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such party fails to pay such expense and the Trustee determines that taking such action is in the best interest of the Trust and the Certificateholders, at the expense of the Trust Fund, but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or, result in the imposition of such a tax. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to REMIC I, REMIC II, or the Trust, or causing REMIC I, REMIC II or the Trust to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of a Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee, or its designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to either REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action or cause REMIC I, REMIC II, or the Trust to take any such action as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that such an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Trustee will to the extent within its control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein, maintain substantially all of the assets of REMIC I and REMIC II as "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and "permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code. (g) Except as provided in Section 8.03, each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due its Percentage Interest of any and all taxes imposed on REMIC I and REMIC II by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such taxes are not paid by the Residual Certificateholders, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the related Residual Certificate or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in any Certificate Account and available for distribution to the Certificateholders (other than the Group V Certificateholders), and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders of regular interests in the affected REMIC. (h) Following the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not accept any contributions of assets to REMIC I or REMIC II unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to make such contribution) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in such REMIC will not cause such REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any REMIC II Regular Interests or Class R Certificates are outstanding or subject such REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances. (i) The Trustee shall not enter into any arrangement by which either REMIC I or REMIC II will receive a fee or other compensation for services or permit either REMIC to receive any income from assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code. (j) On or before April 15 of each calendar year beginning in 2008, the Trustee shall deliver to each Residual Certificateholder a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer stating the Trustee's compliance with the provisions of this Section 8.01. (k) Within 60 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee will apply for an Employee Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other acceptable method for all tax entities and shall complete and timely file with the Internal Revenue Service Forms 8811, "Information Return for Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMIC) and Issuers of Collateralized Debt Obligations" for each of REMIC I and REMIC II. (l) The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to REMIC I and REMIC II on a calendar year and on an accrual basis or as otherwise may be required by the REMIC Provisions. (m) The Trustee shall provide (i) to any transferor of a Class R Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Class R Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, (ii) to holders of REMIC II Regular Interests or Class R Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the names, titles, addresses and telephone numbers of the persons who will serve as the representatives of REMIC I and REMIC II. Section 8.02. Prohibited Transactions and Activities. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall sell, dispose of, or substitute for, any Underlying Certificates (other than the Underlying Group V Certificates), except in a disposition pursuant to the bankruptcy of REMIC I, REMIC II, or the Trust, nor acquire any assets for REMIC I or REMIC II, nor sell or dispose of any investments in any Certificate Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to REMIC I or REMIC II after the Closing Date, unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, acquisition, substitution or acceptance) that such sale, disposition, acquisition, substitution or acceptance will not (a) affect adversely the status of either REMIC as a REMIC or of the interests therein other than the Residual Certificates as the regular interests therein, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the REMIC II Regular Interests or Class R Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to the Trust (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or (d) cause either REMIC to be subject to a tax on prohibited transactions or prohibited contributions pursuant to the REMIC Provisions. Section 8.03. Indemnification with respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status. In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of REMIC I or REMIC II as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" of REMIC I or REMIC II as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to REMIC I or REMIC II after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any application provisions of state or local tax laws (collectively "Losses"), such Losses shall be paid by the Trustee, if such Losses arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Depositor or the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as applicable, or for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Residual Certificate on which the Trustee has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such Residual Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Trustee have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of a negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates). Section 8.04. Distributions on the Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interests. (a) On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall be deemed to distribute to itself, as the holder of the Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interests, the following amounts (the "Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interest Distribution Amounts") in the following order of priority to the extent of the Available Funds for each Certificate Group other than the Group V Certificates: (i) Uncertificated Accrued Interest on the Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interests for such Distribution Date, plus any Uncertificated Accrued Interest thereon remaining unpaid from any previous Distribution Date; and (ii) In accordance with the priority set forth in Section 8.04(b), an amount equal to the sum of the amounts in respect of principal distributable on each Class of Group VI Certificates under Section 3.05(a). (b) The amounts described in Section 8.04(a)(ii) shall be deemed distributed to the Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interests with the amount to be distributed allocated among such interests in accordance with the priority assigned under Section 3.05(a) to each Class of Certificates bearing the same designation or, in the case of the Class VI-AE-3 Certificates, to Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interests VI-A-1a, VI-A-1b, VI-A-1c and VI-A-2, pro rata in accordance with the Uncertificated Principal Balances thereof, in the case of the Class VI-AE-4 Certificates, to Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interest VI-A-1a, in the case of the Class VI-AE-6 Certificates and the Class VI-AE-8 Certificates, to Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interests VI-A-1a, VI-A-1b and VI-A-1c, pro rata in accordance with the Uncertificated Principal Balances thereof, in the case of the Class VI-AE-7 Certificates and the Class VI-AE-10 Certificates, to Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interests VI-A-1a and VI-A-1b, pro rata in accordance with the Uncertificated Principal Balances thereof until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such interest is reduced to zero. (c) In determining from time to time the Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interest Distribution Amounts, Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Group VI Certificates under Section 3.05(d) shall be deemed allocated to the Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interests bearing the same designation or, in the case of the Class VI-AE-3 Certificates, to Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interests VI-A-1a, VI-A-1b, VI-A-1c and VI-A-2, pro rata in accordance with the Uncertificated Principal Balances thereof if in respect of principal or in accordance with Uncertificated Accrued Interest thereon if in respect of interest, in the case of the Class VI-AE-4 Certificates and the Class VI-AE-5 Certificates, to Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interest VI-A-1a, in the case of the Class VI-AE-6 Certificates, the Class VI-AE-8 Certificates and the Class VI-AE-9 Certificates, to Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interests VI-A-1a, VI-A-1b and VI-A-1c, pro rata in accordance with the Uncertificated Principal Balances thereof if in respect of principal or in accordance with Uncertificated Accrued Interest thereon if in respect of interest, in the case of the Class VI-AE-7 Certificates, the Class VI-AE-10 Certificates and the Class VI-AE-11 Certificates, to Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interests VI-A-1a and VI-A-1b, pro rata in accordance with the Uncertificated Principal Balances thereof if in respect of principal or in accordance with Uncertificated Accrued Interest thereon if in respect of interest.

(e) Notwithstanding the deemed distributions on the Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interests and the REMIC II Regular Interests described in this Section 8.04, distributions of funds from the Certificate Account shall be made only in accordance with Section 3.05. Section 8.05. Group V Grantor Trust Administration. (a) It is intended that the Group V Grantor Trust be classified for federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code, rather than as an association taxable as a corporation, a partnership or a taxable mortgage pool. The powers granted and obligations undertaken in this Agreement shall be construed so as to further such intent. Under no circumstances shall the Trustee or the Depositor have the power to vary the investments of the Holders of the Group V Grantor Trust Certificates in their related assets of the Group V Grantor Trust in order to take advantage of variations in the market to improve their rate of return. The Trustee shall be responsible for preparing, at its own expense, and filing in a timely manner, on behalf of and for the Group V Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the Code, federal income tax and information returns and reports with the IRS and income tax returns and information returns and reports of any other state or local taxing authority as are required to be so filed, using a calendar year as the taxable year of the Group V Grantor Trust on an accrual basis. The Trustee shall furnish to each Holder of Group V Grantor Trust Certificates at the time required by law such information reports or returns as are required by applicable federal, state or local law with respect to the Group V Grantor Trust to enable holders of such Certificates to prepare their tax returns and will furnish comparable information to the IRS and other taxing authorities as and when required by law to do so. (b) The Depositor intends to treat the Group V Grantor Trust as a single Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust that is a Non-Mortgage Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust. The Trustee will report as required under the Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Trustee to do so is provided to the Trustee on a timely basis. The Trustee is hereby directed pursuant to this Agreement to assume that DTC is the only "middleman" (as such term is defined in the Widely Held Fixed Investment Regulations) unless the Depositor notifies the Trustee in writing of the identities of other "middlemen" that are Holders of Group V Grantor Trust Certificates. The Depositor agrees to notify the Trustee in writing of any such additional "middlemen" of which it has knowledge. The Trustee will not be liable for any tax reporting penalties that may arise under the Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust Regulations as a result of the Depositor incorrectly determining the status of the Group V Grantor Trust as a Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust. (c) The Trustee, in its discretion, will report required Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust information using either the cash or accrual method, except to the extent the Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust Regulations specifically require a different method. The Trustee will be under no obligation to determine whether any interest Holder in the Group V Grantor Trust uses the cash or accrual method. The Trustee will make available Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust information to Holders of Group V Grantor Trust Certificates annually. In addition, the Trustee will not be responsible or liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any interest Holder in the Group V Grantor Trust, unless requested by such Holder. (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder if such failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information being provided to the Trustee, (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Trustee or (iii) the inability of the Trustee, after good faith efforts, to alter its existing information reporting systems to capture information necessary to fully comply with the Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust Regulations for the 2007 calendar year. Each owner of a Group V Grantor Trust Certificate, by acceptance of its interest in such Certificate, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Trustee with information regarding any sale of such Certificate, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale. Absent receipt of such information, and unless informed otherwise by the Depositor, the Trustee will assume there is no secondary market trading of Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust interests in respect of the Group V Grantor Trust. (e) To the extent required by the Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust Regulations, the Trustee will use reasonable efforts to publish on an appropriate website the CUSIPs for the Group V Grantor Trust Certificates. The Trustee will make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the website accurate and updated to the extent CUSIPs have been received. Absent the receipt of a CUSIP, the Trustee will use a reasonable identifier number in lieu of a CUSIP. The Trustee will not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP information. (f) The Trustee shall be entitled to additional reasonable compensation for changes in reporting required in respect of the Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust Regulations that arise as a result of a change in the Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust Regulations or a change in interpretation of the Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust Regulations by the IRS or the Depositor or its counsel, if such change requires, in the Trustee's reasonable discretion, a material increase in the Trustee's reporting obligations in respect of the Group V Grantor Trust. (g) Unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Group V Grantor Trust will not become a foreign trust in the absence of the following rule applying, the following rule shall apply: In the case of any vote or other decision of the Group V Grantor Trust Certificateholders under this Agreement, each Group V Grantor Trust Certificateholder shall certify whether it is a U.S. person or a foreign person for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and anyone not certifying shall be treated as foreign) and the aggregate voting power of all Group V Grantor Trust Certificateholders that are foreign persons shall be limited to a number of votes so that the effect of such limitation is to limit the aggregate voting power of the foreign Group V Grantor Trust Certificateholders to one less than the number of votes needed to approve or block the approval of any matter being voted on. (This rule will not apply if 100% of all Group V Grantor Trust Certificates are held by foreign persons.) Thus, in the case of an amendment (or other matter) that requires 100% approval by the Group V Grantor Trust Certificateholders, foreign investors shall have no votes. In the case of an amendment or other matter that requires the approval of a majority of the Group V Grantor Trust Certificates, foreign Group V Grantor Trust Certificateholders will be treated as having, in the aggregate, one less Group V Grantor Trust Certificate (or if voting is by principal or similar balance, one less dollar of principal or similar balance) than the number of Group V Grantor Trust Certificates (dollars) held by U.S. persons. In the case of a vote that requires 66-2/3% vote, foreign Group V Grantor Trust Certificateholders in the aggregate shall be considered to own Group V Grantor Trust Certificates (principal) in the amount of one less than 1/2 of the number of Group V Grantor Trust Certificates (principal) held by U.S. persons. The preceding rule may be amended by the Depositor and the Trustee without the consent of any Group V Grantor Trust Certificateholder based on an Opinion of Counsel that any such change is necessary or helpful to preventing the portion of the trust consisting of the Underlying Group V Certificates from becoming treated as a foreign trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Section 8.06. Group VI Exchange Trust Administration. (a) It is intended that the Group VI Exchange Trust be classified for federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code, of which Holders of the Group VI Exchange Trust Certificates are owners, rather than as an association taxable as a corporation, a partnership or a taxable mortgage pool. The powers granted and obligations undertaken in this Agreement shall be construed so as to further such intent. Under no circumstances shall the Trustee or the Depositor have the power to vary the investments of the Holders of the Group VI Certificates (other than REMIC II Regular Interests) (the "Group VI Exchange Trust Certificates") in their related assets of the Group VI Exchange Trust in order to take advantage of variations in the market to improve their rate of return. The Trustee shall be responsible for preparing, at its own expense, and filing in a timely manner, on behalf of and for the Group VI Exchange Trust as a grantor trust under the Code, federal income tax and information returns and reports with the IRS and income tax returns and information returns and reports of any other state or local taxing authority as are required to be so filed, using a calendar year as the taxable year of the Group VI Exchange Trust on an accrual basis. The Trustee shall furnish to each Holder of a Group VI Exchange Trust Certificate at the time required by law such information reports or returns as are required by applicable federal, state or local law with respect to the Group VI Exchange Trust to enable such Holders to prepare their tax returns and will furnish comparable information to the IRS and other taxing authorities as and when required by law to do so. (b) The Class VI-A-1a Certificates represent an ownership interest in REMIC II Regular Certificates VI-AE-4 and VI-AE-5, the Class VI-A-1b Certificates represent an ownership interest in REMIC II Regular Interests VI-AE-8 and VI-AE-9, the Class VI-A-1c Certificates represent an ownership interest in REMIC II Regular Interests VI-AE-10 and VI-AE-11, the Class VI-AE-3 Certificates represent an ownership interest in REMIC II Regular Interests VI-AE-4, VI-AE-5, VI-AE-8, VI-AE-9, VI-AE-10, VI-AE-11 and VI-A-2, the Class VI-AE-6 Certificates represent an ownership interest in REMIC II Regular Interests VI-AE-4, VI-AE-5, VI-AE-8, VI-AE-9, VI-AE-10 and VI-AE-11, the Class VI-AE-7 Certificates represent an ownership interest in REMIC II Regular Interests VI-AE-4, VI-AE-5, VI-AE-8 and VI-AE-9, the Class VI-AE-8 Certificates represent an ownership interest in REMIC II Regular Interests VI-AE-4, VI-AE-8 and VI-AE-10, the Class VI-AE-9 Certificates represent an ownership interest in REMIC II Regular Interests VI-AE-5, VI-AE-9 and VI-AE-11, the Class VI-AE-10 Certificates represent an ownership interest in REMIC II Regular Interests VI-AE-4 and VI-AE-8 and the Class VI-AE-11 Certificates represent an ownership interest in REMIC II Regular Interests VI-AE-5 and VI-AE-9, in each case deposited or deemed deposited with the Trustee in exchange for such Certificates. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall be deemed to distribute to the Holders of the Group VI Exchange Trust Certificates, as holders of the related REMIC II Regular Interests all amounts deemed distributed with respect to the REMIC II Regular Interests pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.04(d). (c) The Depositor intends to treat the Group VI Exchange Trust as a Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust that is a Widely Held Mortgage Trust. The Trustee will report as required under the Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Trustee to do so is provided to the Trustee on a timely basis. The Trustee is hereby directed pursuant to this Agreement to assume that DTC is the only "middleman" (as such term is defined in the Widely Held Fixed Investment Regulations) unless the Depositor notifies the Trustee in writing of the identities of other "middlemen" that are Holders of Group VI Exchange Trust Certificates. The Depositor agrees to notify the Trustee in writing of any such additional "middlemen" of which it has knowledge. The Trustee will not be liable for any tax reporting penalties that may arise under the Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust Regulations as a result of the Depositor incorrectly determining the status of the Group VI Exchange Trust as a Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust. (d) The Trustee, in its discretion, will report required Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust information using either the cash or accrual method, except to the extent the Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust Regulations specifically require a different method. The Trustee will be under no obligation to determine whether any interest Holder in the Group VI Exchange Trust uses the cash or accrual method. The Trustee will make available Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust information to Holders of the Group VI Exchange Trust Certificates annually. In addition, the Trustee will not be responsible or liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any interest Holder in the Group VI Exchange Trust, unless requested by such Holder. (e) The Trustee shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder if such failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information being provided to the Trustee, (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Trustee or (iii) the inability of the Trustee, after good faith efforts, to alter its existing information reporting systems to capture information necessary to fully comply with the Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust Regulations for the 2007 calendar year. Each owner of a Group VI Exchange Trust Certificate, by acceptance of its interest in such Certificate, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Trustee with information regarding any sale of such Certificate, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale. Absent receipt of such information, and unless informed otherwise by the Depositor, the Trustee will assume there is no secondary market trading of Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust interests in respect of the Group VI Exchange Trust. (f) To the extent required by the Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust Regulations, the Trustee will use reasonable efforts to publish on an appropriate website the CUSIPs for the Group VI Exchange Trust Certificates. The Trustee will make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the website accurate and updated to the extent CUSIPs have been received. Absent the receipt of a CUSIP, the Trustee will use a reasonable identifier number in lieu of a CUSIP. The Trustee will not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP information. (g) The Trustee shall be entitled to additional reasonable compensation for changes in reporting required in respect of the Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust Regulations that arise as a result of a change in the Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust Regulations or a change in interpretation of the Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust Regulations by the IRS or the Depositor or its counsel, if such change requires, in the Trustee's reasonable discretion, a material increase in the Trustee's reporting obligations in respect of the Group VI Exchange Trust. (h) Unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Group VI Exchange Trust will not become a foreign trust in the absence of the following rule applying, the following rule shall apply: In the case of any vote or other decision of the Group VI Exchange Trust Certificateholders under this Agreement, each Group VI Exchange Trust Certificateholders shall certify whether it is a U.S. person or a foreign person for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and anyone not certifying shall be treated as foreign) and the aggregate voting power of all Group VI Exchange Trust Certificateholders that are foreign persons shall be limited to a number of votes so that the effect of such limitation is to limit the aggregate voting power of the foreign Group VI Exchange Trust Certificateholders to one less than the number of votes needed to approve or block the approval of any matter being voted on. (This rule will not apply if 100% of all Group VI Exchange Trust Certificates are held by foreign persons.) Thus, in the case of an amendment (or other matter) that requires 100% approval by the Group VI Exchange Trust Certificateholders, foreign investors shall have no votes. In the case of an amendment or other matter that requires the approval of a majority of the Group VI Exchange Trust Certificates, foreign Group VI Exchange Trust Certificateholders will be treated as having, in the aggregate, one less Group VI Exchange Trust Certificate (or if voting is by principal or similar balance, one less dollar of principal or similar balance) than the number of Group VI Exchange Trust Certificates (dollars) held by U.S. persons. In the case of a vote that requires 66-2/3% vote, foreign Group VI Exchange Trust Certificateholders in the aggregate shall be considered to own Group VI Exchange Trust Certificates (principal) in the amount of one less than 1/2 of the number of Group VI Exchange Trust Certificates (principal) held by U.S. persons. The preceding rule may be amended by the Depositor and the Trustee without the consent of any Group VI Exchange Trust Certificateholder based on an Opinion of Counsel that any such change is necessary or helpful to preventing the Group VI Exchange Trust from becoming treated as a foreign trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Section 8.07. Group V Exchange Trust Administration. (a) The Depositor intends to treat the Group V Exchange Trust as a partnership among the Holders of the Partnership Certificates if, for federal income tax purposes, the Group V Exchange Trust is considered to have more than one owner, or if, for federal income tax purposes, the Group V Exchange Trust is considered to have a single owner, as a division that is ignored as an entity separate from such owner. The parties intend that, for federal income tax purposes, the Partnership Certificates represent ownership of the Group V Exchange Trust. The parties agree that, absent a change in law or written request of an appropriate taxing authority, (i) the Group V Exchange Trust will file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with the characterization of the Group V Exchange Trust, as it relates to the assets in the Group V Exchange Trust and the Partnership Certificates, as a partnership or division of the Partnership Certificateholder, as just described, for such tax purposes and (ii) each Holder and beneficial owner of a Partnership Certificate is hereby deemed to acknowledge and agree that, absent a change in law or written request of an appropriate taxing authority, it will, for federal income tax purposes and any other purpose that conforms to federal income tax law (but for no other purpose), treat the Group V Exchange Trust as a partnership or division of the Partnership Certificateholder and will treat itself as a partner therein or as the single owner of the Group V Exchange Trust, as just described. (b) Each beneficial owner of a Partnership Certificate shall be deemed to have instructed the Group V Exchange Trust Trustee to deposit its interest in the related Class V-A-1 Certificates into the Group V Exchange Trust. The Group V Exchange Trust Trustee shall establish and maintain the Group V Exchange Trust Account. On each Distribution Date, the Group V Exchange Trust Trustee shall be deemed to have deposited into the Group V Exchange Trust Account all amounts distributed with respect to the Class V-A-1 Certificates deposited into the Group V Exchange Trust pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.05(a). (c) (i) For federal income tax purposes and the maintenance of capital accounts, the Group V Exchange Trust's income, gain, loss, deductions and credits will be allocated among the Holders of record of Partnership Certificates on the related Record Date for federal income tax and applicable state and local franchise and income tax purposes as follows: (A)(1) Interest on any Class V-A-1a Certificate held by the Group V Exchange Trust (including accrued original issue discount and any Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amounts (as defined in the BSABS 2007-AC3 Underlying Offering Document)) for any Interest Accrual Period shall be allocated to the Holders of the Partnership Certificates pro rata in accordance with their entitlements to interest for such Interest Accrual Period; (2) interest on any Class V-A-1b Certificate held by the Group V Exchange Trust (including accrued original issue discount and any Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amounts (as defined in the BSABS 2007-AC3 Underlying Offering Document)) for any Interest Accrual Period shall be allocated to the Holders of the Partnership Certificates (other than the Class V-AE-5 Certificates and the Class V-AE-6 Certificates) pro rata in accordance with their entitlements to interest for such Interest Accrual Period; and (3) interest on any Class V-A-1c Certificate held by the Group V Exchange Trust (including accrued original issue discount and any Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amounts (as defined in the BSABS 2007-AC3 Underlying Offering Document)) for any Interest Accrual Period shall be allocated to the Holders of the Class V-AE-9 Certificates and the Class V-AE-10 Certificates pro rata in accordance with their entitlements to interest for such Interest Accrual Period; (B)(1) Gain on the sale or redemption of any Class V-A-1a Certificate held by the Group V Exchange Trust shall be allocated (x) to the extent any such gain is treated as ordinary income under Section 1276 of the Code, to the Holders of the Partnership Certificates pro rata in accordance with their entitlements to interest for such Interest Accrual Period, and (y) to the extent of the balance of all other gain, to the Holders of the Class V-AE-5, Class V-AE-9 and Class V-AE-11 Certificates pro rata in accordance with the Current Principal Amount thereof; (2) gain on the sale or redemption of any Class V-A-1b Certificate held by the Group V Exchange Trust shall be allocated (x) to the extent any such gain is treated as ordinary income under Section 1276 of the Code, to the Holders of the Partnership Certificates (other than the Class V-AE-5 Certificates and the Class V-AE-6 Certificates) pro rata in accordance with their entitlements to interest for such Interest Accrual Period, and (y) to the extent of the balance of all other gain, to the Holders of the Class V-AE-9 and Class V-AE-11 Certificates pro rata in accordance with the Current Principal Amount thereof; and (3) gain on the sale or redemption of any Class V-A-1c Certificate held by the Group V Exchange Trust shall be allocated (x) to the extent any such gain is treated as ordinary income under Section 1276 of the Code, to the Holders of the Class V-AE-9 Certificates and the Class V-AE-10 Certificates pro rata in accordance with their entitlements to interest for such Interest Accrual Period, and (y) to the extent of the balance of all other gain, to the Holders of the Class V-AE-9 Certificates pro rata in accordance with the Current Principal Amount thereof; (C)(1) Loss recognized on the sale of any Class V-A-1a Certificates held by the Group V Exchange Trust shall be allocated 100% to the Holders of the Class V-AE-5, Class V-AE-9 and Class V-AE11 Certificates pro rata in accordance with the Current Principal Amount thereof (except to the extent that the loss is borne economically by other Holders of Partnership Certificates, in which case it will be allocated to that extent to such other Holders); (2) loss recognized on the sale of any Class V-A-1b Certificates held by the Group V Exchange Trust shall be allocated 100% to the Holders of the Class V-AE-9 and Class V-AE11 Certificates pro rata in accordance with the Current Principal Amount thereof (except to the extent that the loss is borne economically by other Holders of Partnership Certificates, in which case it will be allocated to that extent to such other Holders); and (3) loss recognized on the sale of any Class V-A-1c Certificates held by the Group V Exchange Trust shall be allocated 100% to the Holders of the Class V-AE-9 Certificates pro rata in accordance with the Current Principal Amount thereof (except to the extent that the loss is borne economically by other Holders of Partnership Certificates, in which case it will be allocated to that extent to such other Holders); (D) Unrecognized loss on any in-kind distribution of any Class V-A-1 Certificates held by the Group V Exchange Trust shall be allocated to the Holders of the Partnership Certificates in a manner that reflects their respective interests in the Group V Exchange Trust and the Class V-A-1 Certificates held by the Exchange Trust, their shares of the Class V-A-1 Certificates distributed, and the effects on their respective interests of such distribution (taking account of all facts and circumstances); and (E) All expenses of the Group V Exchange Trust (including all amortized premium on any Class V-A-1 Certificates held by the Group V Exchange Trust, to the extent treated as a separate item of expense of the Group V Exchange Trust) for any Interest Accrual Period shall be allocated to the Holders of the Partnership Certificates pro rata in accordance with their entitlements to interest for such Interest Accrual Period. (ii) All of the allocations set forth above are intended to be made in accordance with Section 704(b) of the Code. If allocation of the Group V Exchange Trust's income, gain, loss, deductions and credits as provided above would not be in accordance with Section 704(b) of the Code, then allocations shall be made in a manner that is in accordance with Section 704(b) of the Code. If the Depositor believes in its sole judgment that such other allocations are required by applicable law or regulations, it shall promptly give notice to all Holders of Partnership Certificates. (d) The Group V E xchange Trust Trustee shall (i) deliver (or cause to be delivered) to each Holder of a Partnership Certificate, as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, such information as may be required (including Schedule K-1 to IRS Form 1065, if the Group V Exchange Trust is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes), to enable each such Holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns, (ii) prepare or cause to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed, all tax returns relating to the Group V Exchange Trust (including a partnership information return, IRS Form 1065, if the Group V Exchange Trust is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes) make such elections as may from time to time be required or appropriate under any applicable state or federal statute or rule or regulation thereunder so as to maintain the characterization of the Group V Exchange Trust as a partnership or division of a single Partnership Certificateholder, as the case may be, for federal income tax purposes. In the event that the Partnership Certificates are held by more than one Holder, the Group V Exchange Trust Trustee shall file an application with the IRS for a taxpayer identification number with respect to the Group V Exchange Trust (and, upon receipt of such number, notify the Trustee thereof). The Group V Exchange Trust Trustee shall sign all tax information returns relating to the Group V Exchange Trust Certificates, if any. The Depositor shall be the "tax matters partner" within the meaning set forth in section 6231(a)(7) of the Code and used in subchapter C, chapter 63 of the Code (the "Tax Matters Partner") for so long as it holds any Partnership Certificates. All tax returns in respect of the Group V Exchange Trust shall be signed by the Depositor, or if the Depositor does not hold any Partnership Certificates, the Certificateholder determined to be Tax Matters Partner, unless some other party is required by law to sign such return (in which case such other party shall sign). If the Group V Exchange Trust shall be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, the Group V Exchange Trust Trustee shall not be required to prepare and file partnership tax returns in respect of such partnership unless it receives additional reasonable compensation in the amount of $15,000 (as set foth in Section 4.05(f)) for the preparation of such filings and written notification recognizing the creation of a partnership agreement or comparable documentation evidencing the partnership, if any. The foregoing condition with respect to the receipt of written notification recognizing the creation of a partnership agreement or comparable documentation evidencing the partnership, if any, shall be deemed to be satisfied by the delivery by a Holder of Partnership Certificates of the written notice specified in Section 4.05(i). Upon conversion of the Group V Exchange Trust to a partnership, the Trustee will request monthly Holder information from DTC as of each Record Date for purposes of preparing the partnership tax returns. In addition, the Holders shall provide to the Trustee information necessary for the Trustee to prepare the partnership tax returns including sales price and owner information. (e) At any time during which the Depositor is not the Tax Matters Partner, the Depositor shall be agent and attorney-in-fact of the Tax Matters Partner. By acceptance of its Partnership Certificates, each Holder of Partnership Certificates that is or becomes the Tax Matters Partner is hereby deemed to have appointed the Depositor for the purpose of acting on behalf of such Holder (but at the Depositor's own expense) in complying with the obligations of Tax Matters Partner for the Group V Exchange Trust. This appointment shall be coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. (f) It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the Group V Exchange Trust shall not be treated as an association taxable as a corporation, a taxable mortgage pool, or a publicly-traded partnership treated as a corporation. Neither the Group V Exchange Trust Trustee nor any Holder of an Group V Exchange Trust Certificate shall take any action or fail to take any action that would cause the Group V Exchange Trust (or any portion thereof) to be taxable as a corporation, a taxable mortgage pool, or a publicly-traded partnership treated as a corporation. Each Holder of a Partnership Certificate, by its acceptance thereof, covenants and agrees that it will not issue interests in or obligations secured by such certificate or issue any interest or obligation the timing or amount of payments on which are determined based on the payments (whether actual or expected) on such certificate, in each case in a manner that would cause the Group V Exchange Trust to become a taxable mortgage pool. ARTICLE IX MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS Section 9.01. Amendment. (a) This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor and the Trustee, without the prior consent of any Certificateholder: (i) to cure any ambiguity; (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions herein, which may be inconsistent with any other provisions herein; (iii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement which shall not be materially inconsistent with the existing provisions of this Agreement; (iv) to make such modifications as may be permitted or required hereunder in connection with a repurchase of the Underlying Certificates pursuant to Section 2.03(c) hereof; (v) to revise or correct any provisions to reflect the obligations of the parties to this Agreement as they relate to Regulation AB; and (vi) to facilitate the exchange of any Exchangeable or Exchanged Certificates; provided that with respect to clause (iv) and (vi), such amendment shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee or a letter from each Rating Agency confirming that such amendment shall not result in a downgrade or withdrawal of a rating on any of the Certificates (in each case, the expense of which shall be paid for by the Depositor), adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder. (b) Additionally, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor and the Trustee with the written consent of the requesting Holder to extend the time frame for which the Partnership Certificates may be issued. (d) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor and the Trustee with the prior written consent of the Majority Certificateholders (or, to the extent any such amendment only effects a particular Class of Certificates, the Holders of at least 50% of the aggregate Current Principal Amount of Certificates of such Class) 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; provided, however, that no such amendment shall: (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate; or (ii) modify the provisions of this Section 9.01 without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates. (e) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder. It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 9.01 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. The Trustee shall also provide a copy of such amendment or notice to the Rating Agencies. (f) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee stating that (i) the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement, (ii) will not result in the imposition of a tax on REMIC I or REMIC II or cause either REMIC to fail to be classified as a REMIC under the Code, (iii) will not result in the imposition of a tax on the Group V Grantor Trust or cause the Group V Grantor Trust to fail to be classified as a grantor trust under subpart E, part 1 of subchapter J of Chapter 1 of the Code, (iv) will not result in the imposition of a tax on the Group VI Exchange Trust or cause the Group VI Exchange Trust to fail to be classified as a grantor trust under subpart E, part 1 of subchapter J of Chapter 1 of the Code, and (v) will not result in the imposition of a tax on the Group V Exchange Trust or cause the Group V Exchange Trust to fail to be classified as a partnership if, for federal income tax purposes, the Group V Exchange Trust is considered to have more than one owner, or if, for federal income tax purposes, the Group V Exchange Trust is considered to have a single owner, as a division that is ignored as an entity separate from such owner. (g) The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee's own respective rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement. Section 9.02. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Section 9.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. (a) The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, 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, 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, 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 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 such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee and the Depositor a written notice of default hereunder, and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Majority Certificateholders 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, and the Trustee, for 30 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. For the prosecution and enforcement of the rights granted under 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 9.04. Governing Law. This Agreement and the Certificates shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in said state (without reference to the conflicts of law provisions of such state, other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Laws, which shall apply hereto), and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and the Certificateholders shall be determined in accordance with such laws. Section 9.05. Notices.

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 terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof. Section 9.07. 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 Certificateholders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Certificateholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Certificateholders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is expressly required, to the Depositor. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Depositor, if made in the manner provided in this Section 8.10. (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority.

EXHIBIT G FORM OF RESIDUAL TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT AND AGREEMENT STATE OF ) )ss. COUNTY OF ) The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows: 1. The undersigned is an officer of , the proposed transferee (the "Transferee") of a Percentage Interest in a Class R Certificate (the "Certificate") issued pursuant to the Pooling Agreement (the "Agreement"), relating to the above-referenced Certificate, between Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., as depositor (the "Depositor") and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee. 2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee for so long as it retains its ownership interest in the Class R Certificates. The Transferee is acquiring its Percentage Interest in the Certificate either (i) for its own account or (ii) as nominee, trustee or agent for another Person and has attached hereto an affidavit from such Person in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false. 3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will be imposed on transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false. 4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another Person.) 5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 4.02 of the Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Percentage Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on subsequent transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section 4.02 of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void. 6. The Transferee agrees to require a transfer affidavit and agreement (substantially in the form set forth in this Exhibit G) from any Person to whom the Transferee attempts to transfer its Percentage Interest in the Certificate, and in connection with any transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not transfer its Percentage Interest or cause any Percentage Interest to be transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection with any such transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit F to the Agreement, to the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee. 7. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Certificate; in making this representation, the Transferee warrants that the Transferee is familiar with (i) Treasury Regulation section 1.860E-1(c) and amendments thereto, effective as of July 19, 2002, and (ii) the preamble describing the adoption of the amendments to such regulation, which is attached hereto as Annex I. 8. If the Certificate is a "noneconomic residual interest," the Transferee understands that, as the holder of the noneconomic residual, the Transferee may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the interest and that the Transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the residual interest as they become due. 9. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is . 10. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section 7701(a)(30). 11. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a "noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax. 12. The Transferee is not acquiring the Certificate directly or indirectly for, or on behalf of, or with the assets of, an employee benefit plan or other plan or similar arrangement that is subject to Title I of ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code. 13. The Transferee consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificates will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by a Holder that is not a disqualified organization. 14. The Transferee has no present knowledge or expectation that it will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the Certificates remain outstanding. In this regard, the Transferee hereby represents to and for the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class R Certificate that the Transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class R Certificate as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class R Certificate. 15. The Transferee has no present knowledge or expectation that it will become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as any of the Class R Certificates remain outstanding. 16. The Transferee hereby agrees that it will not cause income from the Class R Certificates to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base (within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty) of the Transferee or another United States taxpayer.

ANNEX I TO EXHIBIT G DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY Internal Revenue Service 26 CFR Parts 1 and 602 [TD 9004] RIN 1545-AW98 Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury. ACTION: Final regulations. _________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY: This document contains final regulations relating to safe harbor transfers of noneconomic residual interests in real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs). The final regulations provide additional limitations on the circumstances under which transferors may claim safe harbor treatment. DATES: Effective Date: These regulations are effective July 19, 2002. Applicability Date: For dates of applicability, see Sec. 1.860E-(1)(c)(10). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Courtney Shepardson at ###-###-#### (not a toll-free number). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Paperwork Reduction Act The collection of information in this final rule has been reviewed and, pending receipt and evaluation of public comments, approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under 44 U.S.C. 3507 and assigned control number 1545-1675. The collection of information in this regulation is in Sec. 1.860E-1(c)(5)(ii). This information is required to enable the IRS to verify that a taxpayer is complying with the conditions of this regulation. The collection of information is mandatory and is required. Otherwise, the taxpayer will not receive the benefit of safe harbor treatment as provided in the regulation. The likely respondents are businesses and other for-profit institutions. Comments on the collection of information should be sent to the Office of Management and Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for the Department of the Treasury, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Washington, DC, 20503, with copies to the Internal Revenue Service, Attn: IRS Reports Clearance Officer, W:CAR:MP:FP:S, Washington, DC 20224. Comments on the collection of information should be received by September 17, 2002. Comments are specifically requested concerning: Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Internal Revenue Service, including whether the information will have practical utility; The accuracy of the estimated burden associated with the collection of information (see below); How the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected may be enhanced; How the burden of complying with the collection of information may be minimized, including through the application of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and Estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of service to provide information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid control number assigned by the Office of Management and Budget. The estimated total annual reporting burden is 470 hours, based on an estimated number of respondents of 470 and an estimated average annual burden hours per respondent of one hour. Books or records relating to a collection of information must be retained as long as their contents may become material in the administration of any internal revenue law. Generally, tax returns and tax return information are confidential, as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103. Background This document contains final regulations regarding the proposed amendments to 26 CFR part 1 under section 860E of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). The regulations provide the circumstances under which a transferor of a noneconomic REMIC residual interest meeting the investigation and representation requirements may avail itself of the safe harbor by satisfying either the formula test or the asset test. Final regulations governing REMICs, issued in 1992, contain rules governing the transfer of noneconomic REMIC residual interests. In general, a transfer of a noneconomic residual interest is disregarded for all tax purposes if a significant purpose of the transfer is to enable the transferor to impede the assessment or collection of tax. A purpose to impede the assessment or collection of tax (a wrongful purpose) exists if the transferor, at the time of the transfer, either knew or should have known that the transferee would be unwilling or unable to pay taxes due on its share of the REMIC's taxable income. Under a safe harbor, the transferor of a REMIC noneconomic residual interest is presumed not to have a wrongful purpose if two requirements are satisfied: (1) the transferor conducts a reasonable investigation of the transferee's financial condition (the investigation requirement); and (2) the transferor secures a representation from the transferee to the effect that the transferee understands the tax obligations associated with holding a residual interest and intends to pay those taxes (the representation requirement). The IRS and Treasury have been concerned that some transferors of noneconomic residual interests claim they satisfy the safe harbor even in situations where the economics of the transfer clearly indicate the transferee is unwilling or unable to pay the tax associated with holding the interest. For this reason, on February 7, 2000, the IRS published in the Federal Register (65 FR 5807) a notice of proposed rulemaking (REG-100276-97; REG-122450-98) designed to clarify the safe harbor by adding the "formula test," an economic test. The proposed regulation provides that the safe harbor is unavailable unless the present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the residual interest does not exceed the sum of: (1) The present value of any consideration given to the transferee to acquire the interest; (2) the present value of the expected future distributions on the interest; and (3) the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding the interest as the REMIC generates losses. The notice of proposed rulemaking also contained rules for FASITs. Section 1.860H-6(g) of the proposed regulations provides requirements for transfers of FASIT ownership interests and adopts a safe harbor by reference to the safe harbor provisions of the REMIC regulations. In January 2001, the IRS published Rev. Proc. 2001-12 (2001-3 I.R.B. 335) to set forth an alternative safe harbor that taxpayers could use while the IRS and the Treasury considered comments on the proposed regulations. Under the alternative safe harbor, if a transferor meets the investigation requirement and the representation requirement but the transfer fails to meet the formula test, the transferor may invoke the safe harbor if the transferee meets a two-prong test (the asset test). A transferee generally meets the first prong of this test if, at the time of the transfer, and in each of the two years preceding the year of transfer, the transferee's gross assets exceed $100 million and its net assets exceed $10 million. A transferee generally meets the second prong of this test if it is a domestic, taxable corporation and agrees in writing not to transfer the interest to any person other than another domestic, taxable corporation that also satisfies the requirements of the asset test. A transferor cannot rely on the asset test if the transferor knows, or has reason to know, that the transferee will not comply with its written agreement to limit the restrictions on subsequent transfers of the residual interest. Rev. Proc. 2001-12 provides that the asset test fails to be satisfied in the case of a transfer or assignment of a noneconomic residual interest to a foreign branch of an otherwise eligible transferee. If such a transfer or assignment were permitted, a corporate taxpayer might seek to claim that the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty would resource excess inclusion income as foreign source income, and that, as a consequence, any U.S. tax liability attributable to the excess inclusion income could be offset by foreign tax credits. Such a claim would impede the assessment or collection of U.S. tax on excess inclusion income, contrary to the congressional purpose of assuring that such income will be taxable in all events. See, e.g., sections 860E(a)(1), (b), (e) and 860G(b) of the Code. The Treasury and the IRS have learned that certain taxpayers transferring noneconomic residual interests to foreign branches have attempted to rely on the formula test to obtain safe harbor treatment in an effort to impede the assessment or collection of U.S. tax on excess inclusion income. Accordingly, the final regulations provide that if a noneconomic residual interest is transferred to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base of a U.S. taxpayer, the transfer is not eligible for safe harbor treatment under either the asset test or the formula test. The final regulations also require a transferee to represent that it will not cause income from the noneconomic residual interest to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base. Section 1.860E-1(c)(8) provides computational rules that a taxpayer may use to qualify for safe harbor status under the formula test. Section 1.860E-1(c)(8)(i) provides that the transferee is presumed to pay tax at a rate equal to the highest rate of tax specified in section 11(b). Some commentators were concerned that this presumed rate of taxation was too high because it does not take into consideration taxpayers subject to the alternative minimum tax rate. In light of the comments received, this provision has been amended in the final regulations to allow certain transferees that compute their taxable income using the alternative minimum tax rate to use the alternative minimum tax rate applicable to corporations. Additionally, Sec. 1.860E-1(c)(8)(iii) provides that the present values in the formula test are to be computed using a discount rate equal to the applicable Federal short-term rate prescribed by section 1274(d). This is a change from the proposed regulation and Rev. Proc. 2001-12. In those publications the provision stated that ``present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the applicable Federal rate prescribed in section 1274(d) compounded semiannually" and that "[a] lower discount rate may be used if the transferee can demonstrate that it regularly borrows, in the course of its trade or business, substantial funds at such lower rate from an unrelated third party." The IRS and the Treasury Department have learned that, based on this provision, certain taxpayers have been attempting to use unrealistically low or zero interest rates to satisfy the formula test, frustrating the intent of the test. Furthermore, the Treasury Department and the IRS believe that a rule allowing for a rate other than a rate based on an objective index would add unnecessary complexity to the safe harbor. As a result, the rule in the proposed regulations that permits a transferee to use a lower discount rate, if the transferee can demonstrate that it regularly borrows substantial funds at such lower rate, is not included in the final regulations; and the Federal short-term rate has been substituted for the applicable Federal rate. To simplify taxpayers' computations, the final regulations allow use of any of the published short-term rates, provided that the present values are computed with a corresponding period of compounding. With the exception of the provisions relating to transfers to foreign branches, these changes generally have the proposed applicability date of February 4, 2000, but taxpayers may choose to apply the interest rate formula set forth in the proposed regulation and Rev. Proc. 2001-12 for transfers occurring before August 19, 2002. It is anticipated that when final regulations are adopted with respect to FASITs, Sec. 1.860H-6(g) of the proposed regulations will be adopted in substantially its present form, with the result that the final regulations contained in this document will also govern transfers of FASIT ownership interests with substantially the same applicability date as is contained in this document. Effect on Other Documents Rev. Proc. 2001-12 (2001-3 I.R.B. 335) is obsolete for transfers of noneconomic residual interests in REMICs occurring on or after August 19, 2002. Special Analyses It is hereby certified that these regulations will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This certification is based on the fact that it is unlikely that a substantial number of small entities will hold REMIC residual interests. Therefore, a Regulatory Flexibility Analysis under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) is not required. It has been determined that this Treasury decision is not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866. Therefore, a regulatory assessment is not required. It also has been determined that sections 553(b) and 553(d) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 5) do not apply to these regulations. Drafting Information The principal author of these regulations is Courtney Shepardson. However, other personnel from the IRS and Treasury Department participated in their development.
