 This trust agreement, dated as of
                     (as amended from time to time, the “Trust Agreement”), is between Phoenix Residential Securities, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company, as depositor (the “Depositor”), and                     , a
                     banking corporation, as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”). 

WITNESSETH: 

WHEREAS, the Depositor and the Owner Trustee desire to form a Delaware statutory trust; 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the Depositor and the Owner Trustee agree as follows:

 ARTICLE I 
 Definitions 
 Section 1.01. Definitions. For all purposes of this
Trust Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in Appendix A to the indenture dated as of
                     (the “Indenture”), between PRS Series 20[__]-[__] Trust, as Issuer, and

Agreement or in any such certificate or other document to the extent not defined, shall have the respective meanings given to them under generally accepted accounting principles. To the extent that the definitions of accounting terms in this Trust
Agreement or in any such certificate or other document are inconsistent with the meanings of such terms under generally accepted accounting principles, the definitions contained in this Trust Agreement or in any such certificate or other document
shall control. 
 (c) The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and words of
similar import when used in this Trust Agreement shall refer to this Trust Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Trust Agreement; Section and Exhibit references contained in this Trust Agreement are references to Sections

 ARTICLE II 
 Organization 
 Section 2.01. Name. The trust created hereby shall be
known as “PRS Series 20[__]-[__] Trust,” in which name the Owner Trustee may conduct the business of the Trust, make and execute contracts and other instruments on behalf of the Trust and sue and be sued. 

Section 2.02. Office. The office of the Trust shall be in care of the Owner Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office or at such
other address in Delaware as the Owner Trustee may designate by written notice to the Certificateholders and the Depositor. 

Section 2.03. Purposes and Powers. The purpose of the Trust is to engage in the following activities: 

(i) to issue the Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the Certificates pursuant to this Trust Agreement and to sell the
Notes and the Certificates; 
 (ii) to purchase the Mortgage Loans and to pay the organizational, start-up and
transactional expenses of the Trust; 
 (iii) to assign, grant, transfer, pledge and convey the Mortgage Loans
pursuant to the Indenture and to hold, manage and distribute to the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.01 any portion of the Mortgage Loans released from the Lien of, and remitted to the Trust pursuant to, the Indenture; 

(iv) to enter into and perform its obligations under the Basic Documents to which it is to be a party; 

(v) to engage in those activities, including entering into agreements, that are necessary, suitable or convenient to
accomplish the foregoing or are incidental thereto or connected therewith, including, without limitation, to accept additional contributions of equity that are not subject to the Lien of the Indenture; and 

(vi) subject to compliance with the Basic Documents, to engage in such other activities as may be required in connection
with conservation of the Trust Estate and the making of distributions to the Securityholders. 

  
 2 








 The Trust is hereby authorized to engage in the foregoing activities. The Trust shall not engage in any
activity other than in connection with the foregoing or other than as required or authorized by the terms of this Trust Agreement or the other Basic Documents while any Note is outstanding without the consent of the Certificateholders of
Certificates evidencing a majority of the aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest of each Class of Certificates, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders of Notes representing a majority of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Notes. 

Section 2.04. Appointment of Owner Trustee. The Depositor hereby appoints the Owner Trustee as trustee of the Trust effective
as of the date hereof, to have all the rights, powers and duties set forth herein. 
 Section 2.05. Initial Capital
Contribution of Trust Estate. In consideration of the delivery by the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, of the Securities to the Depositor or its designee, upon the order of the Depositor, the Depositor, as of the Closing Date and
concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trust, without recourse, but subject to the other terms and provisions of this Trust Agreement, all of the right, title and
interest of the Depositor in and to the Trust Estate. The foregoing transfer, assignment, set over and conveyance does not, and is not intended to, result in a creation or an assumption by the Trust of any obligation of the Depositor or any other
Person in connection with the Trust Estate or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto, except as specifically set forth herein. 
 The Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, acknowledges the conveyance to the Trust by the Depositor, as of the Closing Date, of the Trust Estate, including all right, title and interest of the Depositor
in and to the Trust Estate. Concurrently with such conveyance and in exchange therefor, the Trust has pledged the Trust Estate to the Indenture Trustee and has executed the Certificates and the Notes and caused them to be duly authenticated and
delivered. 
 Section 2.06. Declaration of Trust. The Owner Trustee hereby declares that it shall hold the Trust
Estate in trust upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the use and benefit of the Certificateholders, subject to the obligations of the Trust under the Basic Documents. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Trust
constitute a statutory trust under the Statutory Trust Statute and that this Trust Agreement constitute the governing instrument of such statutory trust. Effective as of the date hereof, the Owner Trustee shall have all rights, powers and duties set
forth herein and in the Statutory Trust Statute with respect to accomplishing the purposes of the Trust. It is the intention of the parties hereto that solely for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, for so long as 100% of the
Certificates are held by a single person or entity, the Trust shall be treated as a disregarded entity, with the Trust Estate being treated as assets of a single person or entity, and the Notes being treated as debt of the single person or entity,
and the provisions of this Trust Agreement shall be interpreted to further this intention. If more than one person owns the Certificates, it is the further intention of the parties hereto that solely for federal, state and local income and franchise
tax purposes the Owner Trust shall be treated as a partnership, with the assets of the partnership being Trust Estate, the partners of the partnership being the Certificateholders and the Notes being debt of the partnership. The provisions of this
Trust Agreement shall be interpreted to further such intentions. Neither the Depositor nor any Certificateholder shall have any personal liability for any liability or obligation of the Trust, other than the indemnification obligations as provided
in Section 7.2 herein. 

  
 3 








 Section 2.07. Title to Trust Property. Legal title to the Trust Estate shall be
vested at all times in the Trust as a separate legal entity except where applicable law in any jurisdiction requires title to any part of the Trust Estate to be vested in a trustee or trustees, in which case title shall be deemed to be vested in the
Owner Trustee, a co-trustee and/or a separate trustee, as the case may be. 
 Section 2.08. Situs of Trust. The
Trust will be located and administered in the State of Delaware. All bank accounts maintained by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be located in the State of
             or the State of             . The Trust shall not have any employees in any state other than Delaware;
provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict or prohibit the Owner Trustee from having employees within or without the State of Delaware or taking actions outside the State of Delaware in order to comply with Section 2.03. Payments
will be received by the Trust only in Delaware or             , and payments will be made by the Trust only from
             or             . The only office of the Trust will be at the Corporate Trust Office of the Owner
Trustee in Delaware. 
 Section 2.09. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor. The Depositor hereby
represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee that: 
 (a) The Depositor is duly organized and validly existing as
a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned and such business is at present conducted.

 (b) The Depositor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign limited liability company in good standing and
has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of its property or the conduct of its business shall require such qualifications and in which the failure to so qualify would have a material
adverse effect on the business, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Depositor and the ability of the Depositor to perform under this Trust Agreement. 

(c) The Depositor has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Trust Agreement and to carry out its terms; the
Depositor has full power and authority to sell and assign the property to be sold and assigned to and deposited with the Trust as part of the Trust and the Depositor has duly authorized such sale and assignment and deposit to the Trust by all
necessary corporate action; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Trust Agreement have been duly authorized by the Depositor by all necessary corporate action. 

(d) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Trust Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do
not conflict with, result in any material breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a material default under, the organizational documents of the Depositor, or any material indenture,
agreement or other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound; nor result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of


  
 4 








 
any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than pursuant to the Basic Documents); nor violate any law or, to the best of the Depositor’s knowledge, any order, rule or
regulation applicable to the Depositor of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties. 

Section 2.10. Payment of Trust Fees. The Owner Trustee shall pay the Trust’s fees and expenses incurred with respect to
the performance of the Trust’s duties under the Indenture. 
 ARTICLE III 

Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans; Certificates 
 Section 3.01. Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans. The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, convey and assign to the Trust, on behalf of the
Securityholders, without recourse, all its right, title and interest in and to the Initial Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to any rights of the Depositor under the Purchase Agreement. 

The parties hereto intend that the transaction set forth herein be a sale by the Depositor to the Trust of all of its right, title and
interest in and to the Initial Mortgage Loans. In the event that, for non-tax purposes, the transaction set forth herein is not deemed to be a sale, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trust a security interest in all of its right, title and interest
in, to and under the Initial Mortgage Loans, all distributions thereon and all proceeds thereof; and this Trust Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. 

Section 3.02. Initial Ownership. Upon the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Depositor pursuant to
Section 2.05 and the conveyance of the Initial Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.01 and the issuance of the Certificates,              shall be the sole
Certificateholder of each Class of Certificates. 
 Section 3.03. Issuance of Certificates. The Certificates shall
be issued in minimum denominations of a Percentage Interest of 10.0000% and integral multiples of 0.0001% in excess thereof. The Certificates shall be issued in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee
and authenticated in the manner provided in Section 3.04. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust,
shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefit of this Trust Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold
such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Certificates. A Person shall become a Certificateholder and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder upon such Person’s
acceptance of a Certificate duly registered in such Person’s name, pursuant to Section 3.05. 
 A transferee of a
Certificate shall become a Certificateholder and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder upon such transferee’s acceptance of a Certificate duly registered in such transferee’s name
pursuant to and upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.05. 

  
 5 








 Section 3.04. Authentication of Certificates. Concurrently with the acquisition
of the Initial Mortgage Loans by the Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Paying Agent shall cause the Certificates in an initial Percentage Interest of 100.00% to be executed on behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the
written order of             , signed by its chairman of the board, its president or any vice president, without further corporate action by
            , in authorized denominations. No Certificate shall entitle the Certificateholder thereof to any benefit under this Trust Agreement or be valid for any purpose unless
there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, executed by the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Paying Agent, by manual signature, and such authentication shall
constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. 
 Section 3.05. Registration of and Limitations on Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to
Section 3.09, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein
provided. The Indenture Trustee shall be the initial Certificate Registrar. If the Certificate Registrar resigns or is removed, the Owner Trustee shall appoint a successor Certificate Registrar. 

Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office
or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.09, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause the Certificate Registrar as its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent. At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may
be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.09. 

Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder or such Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary practice. 
 No service
charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates. 

  
 6 








 Except as described below, each Certificateholder shall establish its non-foreign status by
submitting to the Certificate Paying Agent an IRS Form W-9 and the Certificate of Non-Foreign Status (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F). 
 A Certificate may be transferred to a Certificateholder unable to establish its non-foreign status as described in the preceding paragraph only if such Certificateholder provides an Opinion of Counsel to
the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor, satisfactory to the Depositor, that such transfer (1) will not affect the
tax status of the Owner Trust and (2) will not adversely affect the interests of any Securityholder, including, without limitation, as a result of the imposition of any United States federal withholding taxes on the Owner Trust (except to the
extent that such withholding taxes would be payable solely from amounts otherwise distributable to the Certificate of the prospective transferee). If such transfer occurs and such foreign Certificateholder becomes subject to such United States
federal withholding taxes, any such taxes will be withheld by the Indenture Trustee at the direction of the Tax Matters Partner. Each Certificateholder unable to establish its non-foreign status shall submit to the Certificate Paying Agent a copy of
its Form W-8-BEN or such successor form as required by then-applicable regulations and shall resubmit such form every three years or with such frequency as required by then-applicable regulations. 

No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Certificate shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state laws. In the event of any such transfer, the Certificate Registrar or the
Depositor shall prior to such transfer require the transferee to execute (A) either (i) (a) an investment letter in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (or in such form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Certificate Registrar and the Depositor) which investment letters shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer or the Depositor and which investment letter states that, among other things, such
transferee (a) is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined under Rule 144A, acting for its own account or the accounts of other “qualified institutional buyers” as defined under Rule 144A, and (b) is aware that the
proposed transferor intends to rely on the exemption from registration requirements under the Securities Act, provided by Rule 144A or (ii)(a) a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar and the Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the Securities Act and such state laws or is being made pursuant to the Securities Act and such
state laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer or the Depositor and (b) the transferee executes a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit
D hereto, and the transferor executes a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, each acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor certifying the facts surrounding
such transfer, which representation letters shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer or the Depositor and (B) the Certificate of Non-Foreign Status (in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit F) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, which certificate shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the
Depositor. If such Certificateholder is unable 

  
 7 








 
to provide a Certificate of Non-Foreign Status, such Certificateholder must provide an Opinion of Counsel as described in the preceding paragraph. The Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such
federal and state laws. No transfer of Certificates or any interest therein shall be made to any Person (i) who is a Plan, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such Certificates with Plan
Assets unless the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Servicer are provided with an Opinion of Counsel that establishes to the satisfaction of the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Servicer
that the purchase of Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in any prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar or the Servicer to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Trust Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of
the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Servicer or (ii) unless such Person provides a certification in the form of Exhibit G to this Trust Agreement, which the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar
and the Servicer may rely upon without further inquiry or investigation. Neither an Opinion of Counsel nor a certification will be required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the
Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any such Affiliate shall be deemed to have represented that such Affiliate is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets of any Plan) and the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a
representation (which, upon the request of the Owner Trustee, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an Affiliate of the Depositor. 

In addition, no transfer of a Certificate shall be permitted, and no such transfer shall be registered by the Certificate Registrar or be
effective hereunder, unless evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Certificate Registrar that establishes that such transfer or the registration of such transfer would not cause the Trust to be classified as a publicly traded
partnership, by having more than 100 Certificateholders at any time during the taxable year of the Trust, an association taxable as a corporation, a corporation or a taxable mortgage pool for federal and relevant state income tax purposes, which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Certificate Registrar and shall be an expense of the proposed transferee. No Opinion of Counsel will be required if such transfer is made to a nominee of an existing beneficial holder of a
Certificate. 
 In addition, no transfer, sale, assignment, pledge or other disposition of a Certificate shall be made unless
the proposed transferee executes a representation letter substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto, that (1) the transferee is acquiring such Certificate for its own behalf and is not acting as agent or custodian for any other Person or
entity in connection with such acquisition and (2) if the transferee is a partnership, grantor trust or S corporation for federal income tax purposes, the Certificates acquired are not more than 50% of the assets of the partnership, grantor
trust or S corporation.

 Section 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any
mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the
Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and the Issuer from harm, then in the absence of notice to the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee that such Certificate
has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Paying Agent, as the Trust’s authenticating agent, 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 denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.06, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar
may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall constitute conclusive evidence of
ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. 
 Section 3.07. Persons Deemed Certificateholders. Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any Certificate Paying
Agent may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and
none of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any Paying Agent shall be bound by any notice to the contrary. 
 Section 3.08. Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses. The Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Depositor or the Owner Trustee, within 15
days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a written request therefor from the Depositor or the Owner Trustee, a list, in such form as the Depositor or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, may reasonably require, of the names and addresses
of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. If three or more Certificateholders, or one or more Certificateholders evidencing not less than 50% of the Certificate Percentage Interest of any Class, apply in writing to the Owner
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Certificateholders, with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and such application is
accompanied by a copy of the communication that such applicants propose to transmit, then the Owner Trustee shall, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such applicants access during normal business hours
to the current list of Certificateholders. Each Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Trust, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee accountable by
reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived. 

Section 3.09. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall maintain in The City of New
York an office or offices or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Certificates and the Basic Documents may be
served. The Owner Trustee initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee (or such other office as the Indenture Trustee may specify to the Owner Trustee) as its office for such purposes. The Owner Trustee shall give prompt
written notice to the Depositor, the Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

 Section 3.10. Certificate Paying Agent. 

(a) The Certificate Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the Distribution Account on behalf of
the Trust in accordance with the provisions of the Certificates and Section 5.01 hereof from payments remitted to the Certificate Paying Agent by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Indenture. The Trust hereby appoints
the Indenture Trustee as Certificate Paying Agent. The Certificate Paying Agent shall: 
 (i) hold all sums held
by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Certificates in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; 

(ii) give the Owner Trustee notice of any default by the Trust of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any
payment required to be made with respect to the Certificates; 
 (iii) at any time during the continuance of any
such default, upon the written request of the Owner Trustee, forthwith pay to the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust all sums so held in trust by such Certificate Paying Agent; 

(iv) immediately resign as Certificate Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust all sums
held by it in trust for the payment of Certificates if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by the Certificate Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; 

(v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any
Certificates of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith; and 
 (vi) deliver to the Owner Trustee a copy of the report to Certificateholders prepared with respect to each Payment Date by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01 of the Servicing Agreement.

 (b) The Trust may revoke such power and remove the Certificate Paying Agent if the Owner Trustee determines in
its sole discretion that the Certificate Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Trust Agreement in any material respect. The Indenture Trustee shall be permitted to resign as Certificate Paying Agent upon 30 days’
written notice to the Owner Trustee; provided the Indenture Trustee is also resigning as Paying Agent under the Indenture at such time. In the event that the Indenture Trustee shall no longer be the Certificate Paying Agent under this Trust
Agreement and Paying Agent under the Indenture, the Owner Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Certificate Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company) and which shall also be the successor Paying Agent under the Indenture. The Owner
Trustee shall cause such successor Certificate Paying Agent or any additional Certificate Paying Agent appointed by the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver to the Owner 

  
 10 









 
Trustee an instrument to the effect set forth in this Section 3.10 as it relates to the Certificate Paying Agent. The Certificate Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Trust
and upon removal of a Certificate Paying Agent such Certificate Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Trust. The provisions of Sections 6.01, 6.04 and 7.01 shall apply to the Certificate Paying Agent to the extent
applicable. Any reference in this Trust Agreement to the Certificate Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise. 
 (c) The Certificate Paying Agent shall establish and maintain with itself the Distribution Account in which the Certificate Paying Agent shall deposit, on the same day as it is received from the Indenture
Trustee, each remittance received by the Certificate Paying Agent with respect to payments made pursuant to the Indenture. Pending any such distribution, funds deposited in the Distribution Account on a Payment Date and not distributed to the
Certificateholders on such Payment Date shall be invested by the Certificate Paying Agent in Permitted Investments selected by the Servicer (or if no selection is made by the Servicer in Permitted Investments described in clause (v) of the
definition thereof) maturing no later than the Business Day preceding the next succeeding Payment Date (except that any investment in the institution with which the Distribution Account is maintained may mature on such Payment Date and shall not be
sold or disposed of prior to the maturity). All investment income earned in respect of funds on deposit in the Distribution Account shall be credited to the Distribution Account. The Certificate Paying Agent shall make all distributions on the
Certificates as provided in Section 3.05 of the Indenture and Section 5.01(a) of this Trust Agreement from moneys on deposit in the Distribution Account. 
 Section 3.11. [Reserved]. 
 Section 3.12. [Reserved]. 

Section 3.13. Subordination. Except as otherwise provided in the Basic Documents, for so long as any Notes are outstanding or
unpaid, the Certificateholders will generally be subordinated in right of payment, under the Certificates or otherwise, to payments to the Noteholders under, or otherwise related to, the Indenture. If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing under the Indenture, the Certificates will be fully subordinated to obligations owing by the Trust to the Noteholders under, or otherwise related to, the Indenture, and no distributions will be made on the Certificates until the
Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee have been irrevocably paid in full. 
 Section 3.14. No Priority Among
Certificates. All Certificateholders shall rank equally as to amounts distributable upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Trust, with no preference or priority being afforded to any Certificateholders over any other
Certificateholders.

 ARTICLE IV 
 Authority and Duties of Owner Trustee 
 Section 4.01. General
Authority. The Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Basic Documents to which the Trust is to be a party and each certificate or other document attached as an exhibit to or contemplated by the Basic Documents to
which the Trust is to be a party, as well as any certificate that supports the factual assumptions made in any Opinion of Counsel delivered on the Closing Date, and any amendment or other agreement or instrument described herein, in each case, in
such form as the Owner Trustee shall approve, as evidenced conclusively by the Owner Trustee’s execution thereof. In addition to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee is obligated to take all actions required of the Trust pursuant to the Basic
Documents. 
 Section 4.02. General Duties. The Owner Trustee shall be responsible to administer the Trust pursuant
to the terms of this Trust Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which the Trust is a party and in the interest of the Certificateholders, subject to the Basic Documents and in accordance with the provisions of this Trust Agreement. 

Section 4.03. Action upon Instruction. 

(a) Subject to this Article IV and Section 11.13 of this Trust Agreement and in accordance with the terms of the
Basic Documents, the Certificateholders may by written instruction direct the Owner Trustee in the management of the Trust. Such direction may be exercised at any time by written instruction of the Certificateholders pursuant to this Article IV.

 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or
under any Basic Document if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Owner Trustee or is contrary to the terms hereof or of any
other Basic Document or is otherwise contrary to law. 
 (c) Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide
between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Trust Agreement or under any other Basic Document, or in the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Trust Agreement or
any other Basic Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Trust Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or
is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances)
to the Certificateholders requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written instructions received from Certificateholders of Certificates
representing a majority of the aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest of each Class of Certificates, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate
instruction within 10 days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such
action not inconsistent with this Trust Agreement or the other Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, and the Owner Trustee shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.


  
 12 









 Section 4.04. No Duties Except as Specified under Specified Documents or in
Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell, dispose of, or otherwise deal with the Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action
under, or in connection with, any document contemplated hereby to which the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided (i) in accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the Owner Trustee pursuant to this
Trust Agreement, (ii) in accordance with the Basic Documents and (iii) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 4.03; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into
this Trust Agreement or any other Basic Document against the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the
perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to prepare or file any filing with the Commission for the Trust or to record this Trust Agreement or any other Basic Document. The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will,
at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any liens on any part of the Trust Estate that result from actions by, or claims against, the Owner Trustee that are not related to the ownership or the
administration of the Trust Estate. 
 Section 4.05. Restrictions. 

(a) The Owner Trustee shall not take any action (i) that is inconsistent with the purposes of the Trust set forth in
Section 2.03 or (ii) that, to the actual knowledge of the Owner Trustee, would cause the Trust to be treated as an association (or a publicly-traded partnership) taxable as a corporation or a taxable mortgage pool for federal income tax
purposes at any time that any of the Notes or Certificates are outstanding. The Certificateholders shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions of this Section 4.05. 

(b) The Owner Trustee shall not convey or transfer any of the Trust’s properties or assets, including those included
in the Trust Estate, to any person unless (i) it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such transaction will not have any material adverse tax consequence to the Trust or any Certificateholder and (ii) such
conveyance or transfer shall not violate the provisions of Section 3.16(b) of the Indenture. 
 Section 4.06. Prior
Notice to Certificateholders with Respect to Certain Matters. With respect to the following matters, the Owner Trustee shall not take action unless, at least 30 days before the taking of such action, the Owner Trustee shall have notified the
Certificateholders in writing of the proposed action and the Certificateholders of Certificates representing a majority of the aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest shall not have notified the Owner Trustee in writing prior to the 30th day after
such notice is given that such Certificateholders have withheld consent or provided alternative direction: 
 (a)
the initiation of any Proceeding by the Trust (except Proceedings brought in connection with the collection of cash distributions due and owing under the Mortgage Loans) and the compromise of any Proceeding brought by or against the Trust (except
with respect to the aforementioned Proceedings for collection of cash distributions due and owing under the Mortgage Loans); 

  
 13 









 (b) the election by the Trust to file an amendment to the Certificate of
Trust (unless such amendment is required to be filed under the Statutory Trust Statute); 
 (c) the amendment of
any of the Basic Documents in circumstances where the consent of any Noteholder is required; 
 (d) the amendment
of any of the Basic Documents in circumstances where the consent of any Noteholder is not required and such amendment materially and adversely affects the interest of the Certificateholders;

to this Trust Agreement of a successor Certificate Registrar or Certificate Paying Agent or the consent to the assignment by the Note Registrar, Paying Agent, Indenture Trustee, Certificate Registrar or Certificate Paying Agent of its obligations
under the Indenture or this Trust Agreement, as applicable. 
 Section 4.07. Action by Certificateholders with Respect
to Certain Matters. The Owner Trustee shall not have the power, except upon the written direction of Certificateholders of Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest of each Class of
Certificates, to (a) remove the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01 thereof or (b) except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, sell the Mortgage Loans after the termination of the Indenture.

 Section 4.08. Action by Certificateholders with Respect to Bankruptcy. The Owner Trustee shall not have the power
to commence a voluntary Proceeding in bankruptcy relating to the Trust without the unanimous prior approval of all Certificateholders and the delivery to the Owner Trustee by each such Certificateholder of a certificate certifying that such
Certificateholder reasonably believes that the Trust is insolvent. 
 Section 4.09. Restrictions on
Certificateholders’ Power. The Certificateholders shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take or to refrain from taking any action if such action or inaction would be contrary to any obligation of the Trust or the Owner Trustee under this
Trust Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents or would be contrary to Section 2.03, nor shall the Owner Trustee be obligated to follow any such direction, if given. 
 Section 4.10. Majority Control. Except as expressly provided herein, any action that may be taken by the Certificateholders under this Trust Agreement may be taken by the Certificateholders of
Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest of the Class specified, if any. Except as expressly provided herein, any written notice of the Certificateholders of a Class delivered pursuant to this
Trust Agreement shall be effective if signed by the Certificateholders of Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest of such Class at the time of the delivery of such notice. 

Section 4.11. Doing Business in Other Jurisdictions. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither
             nor the Owner Trustee shall be required to take any action in any jurisdiction other than in the State of Delaware if the taking of such action will, even after the
appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee in accordance with 

  
 14 









 
Section 9.05 hereof, (i) require the consent or approval or authorization or order of or the giving of notice to, or the registration with or the taking of any other action in respect
of, any state or other governmental authority or agency of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware; (ii) result in any fee, tax or other governmental charge under the laws of the State of Delaware becoming payable by
            , or (iii) subject              to personal jurisdiction in any jurisdiction other than the State
of Delaware for causes of action arising from acts unrelated to the consummation of the transactions by              or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, contemplated hereby.

 Section 4.12. Removal of Mortgage Loans. Certificateholders holding 100% of the Certificate Percentage Interests
of the Certificates may, by delivering a written request to the Owner Trustee to such effect, cause the removal of Mortgage Loans from the Trust Estate in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.15(c) of the Servicing Agreement. Promptly
following receipt of any such request, the Owner Trustee shall deliver to the Servicer the written notice and request required to be delivered to the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.15(c) of the Servicing Agreement. Any Mortgage Loans removed
from the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 3.15(c) of the Servicing Agreement shall be property of the Issuer and, upon the written request of the Certificateholders holding 100% of the Certificate Percentage Interests of the Certificates, be
released to the Certificateholders as a dividend and in accordance with the written instructions of such Certificateholders. 

ARTICLE V 

Application of the Trust’s Assets 
 Section 5.01. Distributions. 
 (a) On each Payment Date
occurring in the months of March, June, September and December, on any date on which the Trust is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01, and on each other Payment Date for which the Certificate Paying Agent has received written notice from the
Certificateholders by the Determination Date relating to such Payment Date requesting funds on deposit in the Distribution Account to be distributed, the Certificate Paying Agent shall distribute to the Certificateholders all funds on deposit in the
Distribution Account and available therefor as provided in Section 3.05 of the Indenture. All distributions made pursuant to this Section to any Certificates shall be distributed to the Certificateholders pro rata based on the respective
Percentage Interests thereof. 
 (b) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the distributions (or
allocations of income) to a Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Certificateholder in accordance with this Section 5.01. The Certificate Paying Agent is hereby authorized and directed to retain or
cause to be retained from amounts otherwise distributable to the Certificateholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Owner Trustee from contesting any such
tax in appropriate Proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such Proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to
such Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Certificate Paying Agent and remitted to the 

  
 15 









 
appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a non-U.S. Certificateholder), the Certificate
Paying Agent may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this paragraph (b). 
 (c)
Distributions to Certificateholders shall be subordinated to the creditors of the Trust, including the Noteholders. 

Section 5.02. Method of Payment. Subject to Section 8.01(c), distributions required to be made to Certificateholders on
any Payment Date as provided in Section 5.01 shall be made to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of each Certificateholder at a bank or other entity
having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided to the Certificate Registrar appropriate written instructions at least five Business Days prior to such Payment Date or, if not, by check or money order mailed to
such Certificateholder at the address of such Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register. 
 Section 5.03.
Signature on Returns. The Servicer, as the Tax Matters Partner or the agent for the Tax Matters Partner, shall sign on behalf of the Trust the tax returns, if any, of the Trust. 

Section 5.04. Statements to Certificateholders. On each Payment Date, the Certificate Paying Agent shall make available to
each Certificateholder the statement or statements provided to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01 of the Servicing Agreement with respect to such Payment Date. 

Section 5.05. Tax Reporting. So long as the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor owns 100% of the Certificates, then
no separate federal and state income tax returns and information returns or statements will be filed with respect to the Trust. If the Servicer is no longer the sole Certificateholder, the subsequent holders of the Certificates by their acceptance
of a Certificate, agree to appoint the Servicer as their agent and the Servicer, as agent for such holders, agrees to perform all duties necessary to comply with federal and state income tax laws. 

Any Certificateholder that holds 100% of the Certificates agrees by its purchase of 100% of the Certificates to treat the Trust Estate as
assets of a single person or entity wholly owned by such Certificateholder for purposes of federal and state income tax, franchise tax and any other tax measured in whole or in part by income, with the assets of the single person or entity being the
assets held by the Trust, and the Notes being treated as debt of the Trust. 
 ARTICLE VI 

Concerning the Owner Trustee 
 Section 6.01. Acceptance of Trusts and Duties. The Owner Trustee accepts the trusts hereby created and agrees to perform its duties hereunder with respect to such trusts, but only upon the
terms of this Trust Agreement. The Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent also agree to disburse all moneys actually received by it constituting part of the Trust Estate upon the terms of this Trust Agreement and the other Basic Documents.
The Owner Trustee shall not be answerable or accountable hereunder or under any Basic Document under any circumstances, 

  
 16 









 
except (i) for its own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith or negligent failure to act or (ii) in the case of the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in
Section 6.03 expressly made by the Owner Trustee. In particular, but not by way of limitation (and subject to the exceptions set forth in the preceding sentence): 

(a) no provision of this Trust Agreement or any other Basic Document shall require the Owner Trustee to expend or risk
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its rights, duties or powers hereunder or under any other Basic Document if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured or provided to it; 
 (b) under no
circumstances shall the Owner Trustee be liable for indebtedness evidenced by or arising under any of the Basic Documents, including the principal of and interest on the Notes; 

(c) the Owner Trustee shall not be responsible for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Trust Agreement or
for the due execution hereof by the Depositor for the form, character, genuineness, sufficiency, value or validity of any of the Trust Estate, or for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of the Basic Documents, the Notes, the Certificates,
other than the certificate of authentication on the Certificates, if executed by the Owner Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall in no event assume or incur any liability, duty, or obligation to any Noteholder or to any Certificateholder, other than
as expressly provided for herein or in the other Basic Documents;

and performance by the Owner Trustee of this Trust Agreement will not require the authorization, consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the filing or registration with, or the taking of any other action with respect to, any governmental
authority or agency; 
 (e) the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of the Depositor,
Indenture Trustee or the Servicer under any of the Basic Documents or otherwise and the Owner Trustee shall have no obligation or liability to perform the obligations of the Trust under this Trust Agreement or the other Basic Documents that are
required to be performed by the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture or the Sellers under the Purchase Agreement; and 
 (f) the Owner Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it or duties imposed by this Trust Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under
this Trust Agreement or otherwise or in relation to this Trust Agreement or any other Basic Document, at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless such Certificateholders have offered to the Owner Trustee security or
indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by the Owner Trustee therein or thereby. The right of the Owner Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Trust Agreement or in any other
Basic Document shall not be construed as a duty, and the Owner Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the performance of any such act. 

  
 17 









 Section 6.02. Furnishing of Documents. The Owner Trustee shall furnish to the
Securityholders promptly upon receipt of a written reasonable request therefor, duplicates or copies of all reports, notices, requests, demands, certificates, financial statements and any other instruments furnished to the Trust under the Basic
Documents. 
 Section 6.03. Representations and Warranties. The Owner Trustee hereby represents and warrants to the
Depositor, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, that: 
 (a) It is a banking corporation duly organized and
validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. It has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Trust Agreement; 

(b) It has taken all corporate action necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by it of this Trust Agreement, and
this Trust Agreement will be executed and delivered by one of its officers who is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Trust Agreement on its behalf; 
 (c) Neither the execution nor the delivery by it of this Trust Agreement, nor the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by it with any of the terms or provisions hereof
will contravene any federal or Delaware law, governmental rule or regulation governing the banking or trust powers of the Owner Trustee or any judgment or order binding on it, or constitute any default under its charter documents or bylaws or any
indenture, mortgage, contract, agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which any of its properties may be bound; 
 (d) This Trust Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Owner Trustee and the Depositor, constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Owner Trustee, enforceable
against it in accordance with the terms hereof subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity, regardless of
whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; 
 (e) The Owner Trustee is not in
default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency, which default might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect the condition
(financial or other) or operations of the Owner Trustee or its properties or might have consequences that would materially adversely affect its performance hereunder; and 

(f) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Owner Trustee’s knowledge, threatened against the Owner Trustee
which would prohibit its entering into this Trust Agreement or performing its obligations under this Trust Agreement. 

Section 6.04. Reliance; Advice of Counsel. 

(a) The Owner Trustee shall incur no liability to anyone in acting upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution,
request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond, or other document or paper believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties. The Owner Trustee may accept a certified copy of a resolution of the


  
 18 









 
board of directors or other governing body of any corporate party as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by such body and that the same is in full force and effect. As
to any fact or matter the method of determination of which is not specifically prescribed herein, the Owner Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by the president or any vice president or by the treasurer or other
authorized officers of the relevant party, as to such fact or matter and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Owner Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon. 

(b) In the exercise or administration of the Trust hereunder and in the performance of its duties and obligations under
this Trust Agreement or the other Basic Documents, the Owner Trustee (i) may act directly or through its agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees (including persons acting under a power of attorney) pursuant to agreements entered into with any
of them, and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the conduct or misconduct of such agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees (including persons acting under a power of attorney) if such persons have been selected by the Owner Trustee with
reasonable care, and (ii) may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected with reasonable care and employed by it at the expense of the Trust. The Owner Trustee shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or
omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the opinion or advice of any such counsel, accountants or other such Persons and not contrary to this Trust Agreement or any other Basic Document. 

Section 6.05. Not Acting in Individual Capacity. Except as provided in this Article VI, in accepting the trusts hereby
created              acts solely as Owner Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity, and all Persons having any claim against the Owner Trustee by reason of the
transactions contemplated by this Trust Agreement or any other Basic Document shall look only to the Trust Estate for payment or satisfaction thereof. 
 Section 6.06. Owner Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Related Documents. The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the signatures of the Owner Trustee on the

 Termination of Trust Agreement 
 Section 8.01. Termination of Trust
Agreement. 
 (a) This Trust Agreement (other than this Article VIII) and the Trust shall terminate and be of
no further force or effect upon the final distribution of all moneys or other property or proceeds of the Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and this Trust Agreement. The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, death or
incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not (i) operate to terminate this Trust Agreement or the Trust, (ii) entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any Proceeding in any
court for a partition or winding up of all or any part of the Trust or the Trust Estate or (iii) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto. 

(b) Except as provided in Section 8.01(a), neither the Depositor nor any Certificateholder shall be entitled to
revoke or terminate the Trust. 
 (c) Notice of any termination of the Trust, specifying the Payment Date on
which Certificateholders shall surrender their Certificates to the Certificate Paying Agent for payment of the final distribution thereon and cancellation thereof, shall be given by the Certificate Paying Agent by letter to the Certificateholders
mailed within five Business Days of receipt of notice of such termination from the Owner Trustee, stating (i) the Payment Date upon or with respect to which final payment of the Certificates shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the

upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Certificate Paying Agent therein specified. The Certificate Paying Agent shall give such notice to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is
given to Certificateholders. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Certificate Paying Agent shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders amounts distributable on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.01. 

In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not have surrendered their Certificates for cancellation within six months after
the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Certificate Paying Agent shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with
respect thereto. Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, if within one year following the Payment Date on which final payment of the Certificates was to have been made pursuant to Section 3.10, all the Certificates shall
not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Paying Agent may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to 

  
 21 









 
take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that shall
remain subject to this Trust Agreement. Any funds remaining in the Distribution Account after exhaustion of such remedies shall be distributed by the Certificate Paying Agent to the Certificateholder of the majority of the Percentage Interest of the
Certificates of the Class with respect to which such amounts are due.

combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities; and having (or having a parent that has) long-term debt obligations with a rating of at least A by Moody’s or
Standard & Poor’s. If such corporation shall publish reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined
capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 9.01, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.02. 
 Section 9.02. Replacement of Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to
the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee. 
 If at any time the Owner
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.01 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Indenture Trustee, or if at any time the Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall
be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Indenture Trustee may remove the Owner Trustee. If the Indenture Trustee shall remove the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly appoint a


  
 22 









 
successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee,
and shall pay all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. If the Indenture Trustee is unable to appoint a successor Owner Trustee within 60 days after any such direction, the Indenture Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee. 
 Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor
Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.03 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner
Trustee. 
 Section 9.03. Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to
Section 9.02 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Indenture Trustee and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Trust Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor
Owner Trustee shall become effective, and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Trust Agreement, with
like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Trust Agreement; and
the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and
obligations. 
 No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 9.03 unless at the time of
such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.01. 
 Upon acceptance of appointment
by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section 9.03, the Indenture Trustee shall mail notice thereof to all Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. If the Indenture Trustee shall fail to mail
such notice within 10 days after acceptance of such appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Indenture Trustee. 

Section 9.04. Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Any Person into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner
Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, that such
Person shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.01 and, provided, further, that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation to the Rating Agencies. 

  
 23 









 Section 9.05. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Trust Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Owner Trustee shall have the power and shall execute
and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or as separate trustee or trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to
the Trust or any part thereof and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Trust
Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.01 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 9.03.

 Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following
provisions and conditions: 
 (a) All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Owner
Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Owner
Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such
rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction
of the Owner Trustee; 
 (b) No trustee under this Trust Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any
act or omission of any other trustee under this Trust Agreement; and 
 (c) The Owner Trustee may at any time
accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee. 
 Any notice, request or other writing given to the
Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to 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 Trust Agreement
and the conditions of this Article IX. 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 Owner Trustee
or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Trust Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Trust Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the
Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee. 
 Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time
appoint the Owner Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Trust 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 Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new
or successor co-trustee or separate trustee.

 MORTGAGE-BACKED CERTIFICATE, SERIES [    ]-[    ] 

evidencing a fractional undivided interest in PRS Series 20[__]-[__] Trust (the “Issuer”), the property of which consists
primarily of the Mortgage Loans. 
 This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Estate, and does not
represent an obligation of or interest in the Depositor, the Sellers, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee or any of their Affiliates. This Certificate is not guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or
by the Depositor, the Sellers, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee or any of their affiliates. None of the Depositor, the Sellers, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee or any of their Affiliates will have any
obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates. 
 This
certifies that                      is the registered owner of the Certificate Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate (as set forth
on the face hereof) in certain distributions with respect to the Trust Estate, consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans, created by Phoenix Residential Securities, LLC (the “Depositor”). The Trust (as defined herein) was created pursuant
to a trust agreement dated as of                      (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Agreement”), between the
Depositor and                     , as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee,” which term includes any successor entity under the
Agreement), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in Appendix A to the indenture dated as of
                    , between the Trust and the Indenture Trustee. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions
and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Certificateholder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Certificateholder is bound. 

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of March, June, September and December or, if such
25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the “Payment Date”), commencing on the first Payment Date specified above, or as otherwise determined in accordance with the Trust Agreement, to the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day (or if 

  
 A-3









 
such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such last day) of the month immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the “Record Date”), in an
amount equal to the pro rata portion evidenced by this Certificate (based on the Percentage Interest stated on the face hereon) of the amount, if any, required to be distributed to Certificateholders of Certificates on such Payment Date.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made as provided in the Agreement by the Certificate Paying Agent by wire transfer or check mailed to the Certificateholder of record in the Certificate Register without the presentation or surrender of this
Certificate or the making of any notation hereon. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Trust has issued one Class of Certificates. 

Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made
after due notice by the Certificate Paying Agent of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency designated by the Certificate Registrar for that purpose in the City and State
of New York. 
 No transfer of this Certificate will be made unless such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance the Securities Act and such state laws. In the event that such a transfer is to be made, (i) the
Certificate Registrar or the Depositor may require an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor that such transfer is exempt (describing the applicable exemption and the
basis therefor) from or is being made pursuant to the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and of any applicable statute of any state and (ii) the transferee shall execute an investment letter in the form described in the Agreement
and (iii) the Certificate Registrar shall require the transferee to execute an investment letter and a Certificate of Non-Foreign Status in the form described by the Agreement (or if a Certificate of Non-Foreign Status is not provided, an
Opinion of Counsel as described in the Agreement), which investment letter and certificate or Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor. The Certificateholder hereof
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Certificate Registrar against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made
in accordance with such federal and state laws. In connection with any such transfer, the Certificate Registrar (unless otherwise directed by the Depositor) will also require either (i) a certification in the form of Exhibit G to the Agreement,
stating that the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction restrictions or the fiduciary responsibility requirements of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a “Plan”), any person acting,
directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person using the “plan assets,” within the meaning of the Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, to effect such
acquisition (collectively, a “Plan Investor”) or (ii) if such transferee is a Plan Investor, an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Servicer and the
Certificate Registrar, to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Certificate is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or
comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments) and will not subject the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the Certificate Registrar to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under Section 406 of ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement. 

  
 A-4









 This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as

 The Certificateholder of this
Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account that have been released from the Lien of the Indenture for payment hereunder and that neither the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity nor the Depositor is personally liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.

Documents. 
 The Agreement permits the amendment thereof as specified below, provided that any amendment be accompanied by an
Opinion of Counsel to the Owner Trustee to the effect that such amendment complies with the provisions of the Agreement and will not cause the Trust to be subject to an entity level tax. If the purpose of any such amendment is to correct any
mistake, eliminate any inconsistency, cure any ambiguity or deal with any matter not covered, it shall not be necessary to obtain the consent of any Certificateholder, but the Owner Trustee shall be furnished with a letter from each Rating Agency to
the effect that such amendment will not cause a Rating Event. If the purpose of any such amendment is to prevent the imposition of any federal or state taxes at any time that any Security is Outstanding, it shall not be necessary to obtain the
consent of the any Certificateholder, but the Owner Trustee shall be furnished with an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment is necessary or helpful to prevent the imposition of such taxes and is not materially adverse to any Certificateholder. If
the purpose of the amendment is to add or eliminate or change any provision of the Agreement, other than as specified in the preceding two sentences, the amendment shall require either (a) a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that
such amendment will not cause a Rating Event or (b) the consent of Certificateholders of a majority of the Percentage Interests of the Certificates and the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that no such amendment shall
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the time of, payments received that are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all Certificateholders affected thereby, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage
of Certificates the Certificateholders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Certificateholders of all such Certificates then outstanding. 

  
 A-5

transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar maintained in the City and State of New York,
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder hereof or such Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the Agreement is the Owner Trustee. 

Except as provided in the Agreement, the Certificates are issuable only in minimum denominations of a 10.0000% Percentage Interest and in
integral multiples of a 0.0001% Percentage Interest in excess thereof. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations, as
requested by the Certificateholder surrendering the same. This Certificate is issued in the Percentage Interest above. 
 No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Owner Trustee, the
Certificate Paying Agent, or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or
any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 The undersigned seller, as registered holder (the “Seller”), intends to transfer the Rule 144A
Securities described above to the undersigned buyer (the “Buyer”). 
 1. In connection with such transfer and in
accordance with the agreements pursuant to which the Rule 144A Securities were issued, the Seller hereby certifies the following facts: Neither the Seller nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed
of the Rule 144A Securities, any interest in the Rule 144A Securities or any other similar security to, or solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of the Rule 144A Securities, any interest in the Rule 144A
Securities or any other similar security from, or otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to the Rule 144A Securities, any interest in the Rule 144A Securities or any other similar security with, any person in any manner, or made any general
solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or taken any other action, that would constitute a distribution of the Rule 144A Securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or that would
render the disposition of the Rule 144A Securities a violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act or require registration pursuant thereto, and that the Seller has not offered the Rule 144A Securities to any person other than the Buyer or another
“qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the 1933 Act. 
 2. The Buyer warrants and represents
to, and covenants with, the Owner Trustee and the Depositor, pursuant to Section 3.05 of the trust agreement dated as of
                     (the “Agreement”), between Phoenix Residential Securities, LLC, as depositor (the “Depositor”), and
                    , as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”), as follows: 

a. The Buyer understands that the Rule 144A Securities have not been registered under the 1933 Act or the securities laws
of any state. 
 b. The Buyer considers itself a substantial, sophisticated institutional investor having such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investment in the Rule 144A Securities. 
 c. The Buyer has been furnished with all information regarding the Rule 144A Securities that it has requested from the Seller, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Servicer. 

  
 C-1









 d. Neither the Buyer nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered,
transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of the Rule 144A Securities, any interest in the Rule 144A Securities or any other similar security to, or solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of the Rule 144A
Securities, any interest in the Rule 144A Securities or any other similar security from, or otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to the Rule 144A Securities, any interest in the Rule 144A Securities or any other similar security with, any
person in any manner, or made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or taken any other action, that would constitute a distribution of the Rule 144A Securities under the 1933 Act or that would render the
disposition of the Rule 144A Securities a violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act or require registration pursuant thereto, nor will it act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize any person to act, in such manner with respect to the Rule
144A Securities. 
 e. The Buyer is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule
144A under the 1933 Act and has completed either of the forms of certification to that effect attached hereto as Annex 1 or Annex 2. The Buyer is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A. The Buyer is acquiring the Rule 144A
Securities for its own account or the accounts of other qualified institutional buyers, understands that such Rule 144A Securities may be resold, pledged or transferred only (i) to a person reasonably believed to be a qualified institutional
buyer that purchases for its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, or (ii) pursuant to another exemption from
registration under the 1933 Act. 
 3. The Buyer represents that: 

(i) either (a) or (b) is satisfied, as marked below: 

 ̈ a. The Buyer is not any employee benefit plan subject to the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), a Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such plan or any Person acquiring such
Certificates with “plan assets” of a Plan within the meaning of the Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA; or 

 ̈ b. The Buyer will provide the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar and the Servicer with an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Servicer, to the effect that the purchase and holding of a Certificate by or on behalf of the
Buyer is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments) and will not subject the
Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Servicer to any obligation or liability (including liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in the Trust Agreement, which opinion of
counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Servicer; and

fiduciary responsibility requirements of Sections 406 and 407 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code and understands that each of the parties to which this certification is made is relying and will continue to rely on the statements made in this
paragraph 3. 
 This document may be executed in one or more counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate
counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original; such counterparts, together, shall constitute one and the same document.
