Compliance Certificates and Opinions. Upon any application or request by the Certificate Issuer to the Certificate Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Certificate Indenture, the Certificate Issuer shall furnish to the
Certificate Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that, in the opinion of the signer thereof, all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Certificate Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and, if
requested by the Certificate Trustee, an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or request as to which the
furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Certificate Indenture relating to such particular application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished. Any such application or request by the
Certificate Issuer to the Certificate Trustee shall also be accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Trustee that the Note Issuers have given their prior written approval of such application or request. 
  
 Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or
covenant provided for in this Certificate Indenture shall include: 
  
 (a) a statement that each signatory of such certificate or opinion has read or caused to be read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto; 
  
 (b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the
examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based; 
  

 13 








 (c) a statement that, in the opinion of each such signatory, such signatory has made such
examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such signatory to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and 
  
 (d) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such signatory, such condition or covenant has been
complied with. 
  
 Section 1.03. Form of Documents
Delivered to Certificate Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only
one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or
give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 
  
 Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Representative of the Certificate Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in
the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Representative or Opinion
of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of any Servicer, any Seller, any Note Issuer or any Administrator, stating that the information with
respect to such factual matters is in the possession of such Servicer, such Seller, such Note Issuer or such Administrator, as the case may be, unless such officer or counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the
certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. 
  
 Whenever in this Certificate Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Certificate Trustee, it is provided that the Certificate Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of
the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Certificate Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such
certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Certificate Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such
certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Certificate Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI.

  
 Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or
more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Certificate Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 
  

 14 








 Section 1.04. Acts of Certificateholders. 
  
 (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided by this Certificate Indenture to be given or taken by Certificateholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Certificateholders in person
or by their agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are
delivered to the Certificate Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Certificate Issuer and one or both of the Note Trustees. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein
sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Certificateholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
Certificate Indenture and (subject to Article VI) conclusive in favor of the Certificate Trustee, the Certificate Issuer and the Note Trustees, if made in the manner provided in this Section. 
  
 (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any
such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Certificate Trustee deems sufficient. 
  
 (c) The ownership of Certificates shall be proved by the Certificate Register. 
  
 (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Certificates shall bind the Holder of every Certificate issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done
by the Certificate Trustee, the Certificate Issuer or the Note Trustees in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificate. 
  
 (e) The Certificate Issuer may at its option by delivery of an Officer’s Certificate to the Certificate
Trustee set a record date to determine the Holders of any Class of Certificates entitled to give any consent, request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, waiver or other Act. Notwithstanding Section 316(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, such
record date shall be the record date specified in such Officer’s Certificate, which shall be the date not more than 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Certificateholders in connection therewith. If such a record date is fixed, such
consent, request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of Certificates of the applicable Class at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed
to be Certificateholders of such Class for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite aggregate Outstanding Amount of Certificates of such Class have authorized or agreed or consented to such consent, request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Certificates of such Class shall be computed as of such record date, but that no such consent, request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, waiver or other Act by the Holders of Certificates of such Class on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Certificate Indenture not later than one year after the record
date. 
  

 15 








 (f) Except as otherwise provided in the definition of Outstanding, Certificates of any
Class owned by or pledged to any Person shall have an equal and proportional benefit under the provisions of this Certificate Indenture, without preference, priority or distinction as among all of the Certificates of that Class.

 (a) Authorization; Designation. The issuance of the
Certificates is hereby authorized and the Certificates shall be designated generally as the Massachusetts RRB Special Purpose Trust 2005-1 Rate Reduction Certificates (the “Certificates”), and further designated as Classes A-1 through A-4.
Each such Class shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate of the corresponding Class of Notes as set forth in each of the Note Purchase Agreements. Each Class of Certificates shall be a separate series of the Certificate
Issuer within the meaning of Section 3806(b)(2) of the Statutory Trust Statute. Separate and distinct records (including tax records) shall be maintained for each Class of Certificates and the corresponding Class of Notes associated with each such

each Class of Certificates shall not be subject to claims, debts, liabilities, expenses or obligations arising from or with respect to any other Class of Certificates. The debts, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise
existing with respect to a particular Class of Certificates shall be enforceable against the related Class of Notes only and not against the assets of the Trust generally or any other Class of Certificates. Notice of this limitation on inter-series
liabilities shall be set forth in the Certificates of Trust (whether originally or by amendment) as filed with the Secretary of State pursuant to the Statutory Trust Statute, and upon the giving of such notice in the Certificate of Trust, the
statutory provisions of Section 3804 of the Statutory Trust Statute relating to limitations on inter-series liabilities (and the statutory effect under Section 3804 of setting forth such notice in the Certificate of Trust) shall become applicable to
the Trust and each Class of Certificates.

surrendered) of authorized denominations of a like aggregate Original Principal Amount. Until so exchanged, such temporary Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Certificate Indenture as definitive
Certificates of the same Class. 
  
 Section 2.06.
Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. The Certificate Trustee shall cause to be kept at the office of agency to be maintained by it in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.11 a register (the “Certificate
Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Certificate
Trustee shall initially be the registrar (the “Certificate Registrar”) for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. 
  

 20 








 Subject to this Section 2.06, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the
Corporate Trust Office or such other office or agency maintained by the Certificate Trustee in accordance with Section 6.11, the Delaware Trustee on behalf of the Certificate Issuer shall execute, and the Certificate Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee, one or more new Certificates (of the same Class as the Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer) in authorized denominations of a like aggregate Original Principal Amount, but that if
any such surrendered Certificate shall have become or within 15 days shall be due and payable or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Certificate, the Certificate Trustee may pay such surrendered Certificate when
so due and payable or upon the Special Distribution Date without surrender thereof. 
  
 At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates (of the same Class as the Certificates surrendered for registration of exchange) of authorized denominations of a like
aggregate Original Principal Amount, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Delaware Trustee on behalf of the Certificate Issuer shall execute,
and the Certificate Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Certificates that the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
  
 Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. 
  
 No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the
Certificate Trustee shall 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. 
  
 All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the
Certificate Trustee in accordance with its customary practices. 
  
 The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Certificate Issuer shall not be required to make and the Certificate Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of Certificates selected for redemption or of any
Certificate for a period of 15 days preceding the date for any payment with respect to the Certificate. 
  
 Section 2.07. Certificateholders’ Lists and Reports by Certificate Trustee.

the names and addresses of the Certificateholders, in each case as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished. So long as the Certificate Trustee is the sole 

  

 21 








 
Certificate Registrar and a copy of the Certificate Register is being furnished to the Certificate Trustee pursuant to Section 6.11, no such list need be
furnished. 
  
 Upon the written request of any Certificateholder

hours to the current list of Certificateholders for purposes of communicating with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Certificate Indenture. 
  
 (b) Preservation of Information. The Certificate Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is
reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Certificateholders contained in the most recent list furnished to the Certificate Trustee as provided in Section 6.11 or Section 2.07(a), as the case may be, and the names and addresses of
Certificateholders received by the Certificate Trustee in its capacity as Certificate Registrar, if so acting. The Certificate Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 6.11 or Section 2.07(a), as the case may be, upon
receipt of a new list so furnished. 
  
 (c)
Communications Among Certificateholders. Certificateholders may communicate pursuant to Section 312(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Certificate Indenture or under the

Certificateholders, as provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, a brief report dated as of such December 31, if required by Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. The Certificate Trustee also shall comply with Section 313(b) of the
Trust Indenture Act. 
  
 A copy of each report at the time of its
mailing to Certificateholders shall be filed by the Certificate Trustee with the Commission and with each stock exchange, if any, on which the Certificates are listed and of which listing the Certificate Trustee has been informed. The Certificate
Issuer shall notify the Certificate Trustee if and when the Certificates are listed on any stock exchange. 
  
 (e) Reports by the Certificate Issuer. Pursuant to Section 314(a)(4) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Certificate Issuer shall
furnish to the Certificate Trustee, not less often than annually and prior to January 31 of each year, commencing January 31, 2006, a certificate prepared by the Delaware Trustee on behalf of the Certificate Issuer as to the Certificate
Issuer’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Certificate Indenture. For purposes of this Section 2.07(e), such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this
Certificate Indenture. In addition, the Certificate Trustee shall forward such certificate to the Certificateholders. 
  
 (f) Protections. The Certificate Issuer, the Certificate Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall have the protection of Section
312(c) of the Trust Indenture Act. 
  

 22 








 Section 2.08. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated
Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the
Certificate Trustee such security, indemnity or bond as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona
fide purchaser, the Delaware Trustee, on behalf of the Certificate Issuer shall execute, and the Certificate Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate (of the same Class as the Certificate so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen) of like Original Principal Amount. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 2.08, the Certificate Trustee shall require the
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith.
Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall constitute conclusive evidence of the same interest in the Certificate Issuer, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at
any time. 
  
 Every replacement Certificate issued pursuant to
this Section in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Certificate Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall
be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Certificate Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Certificates duly issued hereunder. 
  
 Section 2.09. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation
of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Certificate Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any Paying Agent of the Certificate Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for
the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Certificate Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any Paying Agent of the Certificate Trustee shall be affected by any notice to
the contrary. 
  
 Section 2.10. Cancellation. All
Certificates surrendered for payment or transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any party hereto other than the Certificate Registrar, be delivered to the Certificate Registrar for cancellation. No Certificates shall be authenticated in lieu
of or in exchange for any Certificates cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Certificate Indenture. All cancelled Certificates held by the Certificate Registrar shall be delivered to the Certificate Trustee
and, in accordance with Section 2.06, destroyed. 
  
 Section
2.11. Limitation of Liability for Payments. All payments or distributions made to Holders of Certificates under this Certificate Indenture in respect of the Notes of a Note Issuer shall be made only from the Trust Property of such Note
Issuer with respect to that Class of Certificates and only to the extent that the Certificate Trustee shall have sufficient income or proceeds from such Trust Property to make such payments in accordance with the terms of Article IV of this
Certificate Indenture. Each Holder of a Certificate of any Class, by its acceptance of a Certificate of that Class, agrees that it will look solely to the income and 

  

 23 








 
proceeds from the Trust Property in respect of a Note Issuer with respect to that Class to the extent available for distribution to the Holder thereof as
provided in this Certificate Indenture. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) the Certificates are executed, authenticated and delivered by the Delaware Trustee and the Certificate Trustee, respectively, not
individually or personally but solely in their respective capacity as Delaware Trustee and Certificate Trustee in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in them, and (b) under no circumstances shall the Delaware Trustee or
Certificate Trustee be personally liable for the payment of any of the Certificates or any indebtedness or expenses of the Trust or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the
Certificate Issuer under this Certificate Indenture. 
  
 Section 2.12. Book-Entry and Definitive Certificates. 
  
 (a) The Certificates of any Class may be issued in the form of one or more typewritten certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates of that Class, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial
Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Certificate Issuer. In such case, the Certificates of such Class delivered to The Depository Trust Company shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee
of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will receive a definitive Certificate representing such Certificate Owner’s interest in the Certificate of such Class, except as provided in Section 2.12(c) below. Unless and until
definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) of such Class have been issued pursuant to Section 2.12(c) below: 
  
 (i) the provisions of this Section 2.12(a) shall be in full force and effect with respect to the Certificates of such Class; 

 
 (ii) the Certificate Issuer, the Paying Agent, the
Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the making of distributions on the Certificates of such Class) as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners of Certificates
of such Class; 
  
 (iii) to the extent that the
provisions of this Section 2.12 conflict with any other provisions of this Certificate Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.12 shall control; 
  
 (iv) the rights of Certificate Owners of Certificates of such Class shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be
limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency Participants; and until Definitive Certificates of such Class are issued pursuant to Section 2.12(c) below, the Clearing Agency will make
book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal of and interest on the Certificates of such Class to such Clearing Agency Participants; and 
  
 (v) whenever this Certificate Indenture requires or permits
actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Certificateholders holding Certificates of such Class representing a specified percentage of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Certificates of such Class, the Clearing Agency shall be
deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from 

  

 24 








 
Certificate Owners or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, Certificates representing such percentage of the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of Certificates of such Class, and has delivered such instructions to the Certificate Trustee; the Certificate Trustee shall have no obligation to determine whether the Clearing Agency has in fact received any such instructions.

  
 (b) Whenever notice or other communication to
the Holders of Certificates of any Class issued in the form of Certificates representing Book-Entry Certificates is required under this Certificate Indenture, unless and until Definitive Certificates of such Class shall have been issued pursuant to
Section 2.12(c), the Certificate Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of Certificates of such Class to the Clearing Agency. 
  
 (c) If (i) the Clearing Agency advises the Certificate Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no
longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Certificates of a Class, and the Certificate Trustee or the Certificate Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Certificate Issuer (with the
prior written approval of the Note Issuers) at its option advises the Certificate Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency with respect to the Certificates of such Class or (iii) after the
occurrence of a Note Event of Default with respect to any Class of Certificates, Certificate Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Certificates advise the Clearing Agency and the
Certificate Trustee in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Certificate Owners and the Certificate
Trustee of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Certificate Trustee of the typewritten certificate or certificates representing the
Book-Entry Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, and upon written direction by the Certificate Issuer, the Delaware Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Certificate Issuer and the Certificate Trustee shall
authenticate the Definitive Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Certificate Issuer, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions
and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Certificate Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders.

  
 Section 2.13. Tax Treatment. 
  
 (a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the
Certificate Issuer shall be treated as a “grantor trust” for federal income tax purposes and all transactions contemplated by this Certificate Indenture will be reported consistent with such treatment. 
  
 (b) The provisions of this Certificate Indenture shall be
construed, and the affairs of the Certificate Indenture shall be conducted, so as to achieve treatment of the Certificate Indenture as a “grantor trust” for federal income tax purposes.

 COVENANTS 
  
 Section 3.01. Compliance with Declaration of Trust. The
Certificate Issuer covenants and agrees to operate in strict conformity with the Declaration of Trust, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and shall not amend the Declaration of Trust except as expressly permitted thereunder or
in any manner that would adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders. 
  
 This Certificate Indenture and the Declaration of Trust shall, together, constitute the governing instrument of the Trust. To the extent that the provisions of this Certificate Indenture and the Declaration of Trust
conflict with respect to the issuance of the Certificates and the rights of the holders thereof, this Certificate Indenture shall control. 
  
 Section 3.02. No Additional Certificates. The Certificate Issuer shall not issue any additional Certificates hereunder, except pursuant to
Section 2.06 and Section 2.08. 
  
 ARTICLE IV. 

 
 DISTRIBUTIONS; STATEMENTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS 
  
 Section 4.01. Certificate Accounts. 
  
 (a) The Certificate Trustee shall establish and maintain,
for the Certificate Issuer, on behalf of the Holders of Certificates of each Class one or more segregated trust accounts with respect to such Class (each, a “Certificate Account”), which shall be non-interest bearing except as provided in
Section 4.04, in the corporate trust department of an Eligible Institution, in the name of the Certificate Trustee for the benefit of such Certificateholders. The Certificate Trustee shall hold each Certificate Account in trust for the benefit of
the Holders of Certificates of the corresponding Class, and shall make or permit withdrawals therefrom only as provided in this Certificate Indenture. On each day when a Payment or Special Payment (other than a Special Payment that represents the
proceeds of any sale pursuant to Article V hereof by the Certificate Trustee of any Note of a Note Issuer) is made to the Certificate Trustee, as holder of Notes of such Note Issuer of any Class, the Certificate Trustee upon receipt shall
immediately deposit the aggregate amount of such Payment or Special Payment in the Certificate Account for the corresponding Class of Certificates. Upon the sale of any Note of a Note Issuer by the Certificate Trustee pursuant to Article V and the
realization of any proceeds thereof, the Certificate Trustee shall deposit the aggregate amount of such proceeds as a Special Payment in the Certificate Account for the Class of Certificates corresponding to the Class of the Note of such Note Issuer
so sold. 
  
 (b) The Certificate Trustee shall
present each Note to the applicable Note Trustee for payment on its Final Maturity Date, or, in the case of any redemption or repayment of a Note in full prior to its Final Maturity Date, on the applicable Payment Date therefor. 
  

 26 








 (c) The Certificate Trustee (or any Paying Agent other than the Certificate Trustee)
shall have sole dominion and exclusive control over all amounts in the Certificate Accounts and shall apply such amounts therein as provided in this Article. 
  

(d) The Certificate Trustee shall maintain separate and distinct records for each Class of Certificates. The Certificate Trustee will
not (i) take any action that would cause the Class of Notes related to a Class of Certificates to be substantively consolidated into any other Class of Notes such that it will have its separate existence disregarded in the event of an insolvency
event with respect to any Certificateholder of such Class, the Trust or another Class, (ii) commingle any Class of Notes corresponding to a Class of Certificates with a Class of Notes corresponding to any other Class of Certificates, (iii) maintain
the corporate, financial and accounting books and records and statements of the Certificate Issuer or any Class of Certificates in a manner such that they cannot be separated from those of any other Class of Certificates, (iv) take any action that
would cause (a) the funds and other assets of a Class of Certificates not to be identifiable or the bank accounts, corporate records and books of account, if any, of the related Class of Notes not to be separable from those of any other Class and
(b) to pay, other than from a corresponding Class of Notes, any obligations or indebtedness of any kind incurred by a Class of Certificates and payable by the Trust, and (vi) take any actions with respect to any Class of Certificates except in its
capacity as Certificate Trustee in respect of such Class. 
  
 Section 4.02. Distributions from Certificate Accounts. 
  
 (a) On any Distribution Date, the Certificate Trustee shall distribute out of the Certificate Account for the corresponding Class of Certificates, in the manner described in Section 4.02(e), the entire amount of such
Payment deposited therein pursuant to Section 4.01(a); provided, however, and in the event receipt of any such Payment is not confirmed by the Certificate Trustee by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Distribution Date, distribution
thereof shall be made on the day receipt thereof is confirmed by the Certificate Trustee by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) or, if receipt thereof is confirmed by the Certificate Trustee after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the following Business
Day. There shall be so distributed to each Holder of such Class of Certificates on the Record Date with respect to such Distribution Date (other than as provided in Section 9.01 with respect to a final distribution) such Certificateholder’s
fractional undivided share (based on the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Certificates of such Class held by such Certificateholder) of the aggregate amount in the related Certificate Account. The foregoing notwithstanding, if a Payment is not
received by the Certificate Trustee by the day that is five days after the related Payment Date, but is subsequently received, it will be treated as a Special Payment pursuant to Section 4.02(b). 
  
 The final distribution with respect to any Certificate will be made only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office or agency of the Certificate Trustee specified in the notice given by the Certificate Trustee with respect to such final payment. The Certificate Trustee will provide notice of a final
distribution to each Holder as of the date such notice is given with respect to any Certificate as soon as practicable following receipt of the notices from the Note Trustees of the final payments on the corresponding Notes. 
  
 (b) On each Special Distribution Date with respect to the
distribution of any Special Payment with respect to any Class of Notes of a Note Issuer, the Certificate Trustee shall 

  

 27 








 
distribute out of the Certificate Account for the corresponding Class of Certificates, in the manner described in Section 4.02(e), the entire amount of such
Special Payment deposited therein pursuant to Section 4.01(a) and any income and earnings received from the investment of such Special Payment pursuant to Section 4.04; provided, however, that in the event receipt of any such Special Payment
is not confirmed by the Certificate Trustee by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Special Distribution Date, distribution thereof shall be made on the day receipt thereof is confirmed by the Certificate Trustee by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time)
or, if receipt thereof is confirmed by the Certificate Trustee after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the following Business Day. There shall be so distributed to each Holder of such Class of Certificates on the Special Record Date with respect to
such Special Distribution Date (other than as provided in Section 9.01 with respect to a final distribution) such Certificateholder’s fractional undivided share (based on the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Certificates of such Class held by
such Certificateholder) of the aggregate amount of such Special Payment and any income and earnings received from the investment of such Special Payment pursuant to Section 4.04. 
  
 (c) The Certificate Trustee shall allocate amounts distributed to Holders of Certificates of any Class on
any Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date as follows: (i) to the extent such amounts represent payments of principal of the corresponding Class of Notes of a Note Issuer (including prepayments or redemption price), or the proceeds of the
sale of any Note of such Note Issuer by the Certificate Trustee pursuant to Article V (to the extent such proceeds exceed the unpaid interest on the related class of Notes of such Note Issuer), such amounts shall be allocated to principal of such
Certificates and (ii) all other such amounts shall be allocated to interest on such Certificates. The Certificate Trustee may conclusively rely on the payment statement received by it from each Servicer pursuant to its Servicing Agreement with any
payment in respect of any Class of Notes of a Note Issuer as to whether the amount so paid in respect of the Notes of such Note Issuer is in respect of principal of or interest on such Notes. If no statement is received, such payments received with
respect to any Class of Notes of any Notes Issuer shall first be allocable to interest to the extent of a interest accrued and payable on such Class of Notes, and then to principal. 
  
 (d) The Certificate Trustee shall cause notice of each Special Payment with respect to any Class of Notes of
a Note Issuer to be mailed to each Holder of Certificates of the corresponding Class at its address as it appears in the Certificate Register. In the event of (i) the optional redemption by a Note Issuer of the Notes of any Class, such notice shall
be mailed not less than five days nor more than 25 days prior to the Special Distribution Date on which any such Redemption Payment is scheduled to be distributed, and (ii) the mandatory redemption by a Note Issuer of the Notes of any Class, such
notice shall be mailed not less than five days prior to the Special Distribution Date on which any such Redemption Payment is scheduled to be distributed. In the case of any other Special Payment, such notice shall be mailed not less than 20 days
prior to the Special Distribution Date on which any Special Payment is scheduled to be distributed in respect of Certificates of such Class stating such anticipated Special Distribution Date. Any such notice mailed by the Certificate Trustee shall
set forth: 
  
 (i) the Special Distribution Date
or the Distribution Date, as applicable, and the Special Record Date or Record Date therefor, as applicable (except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01); 
  

 28 








 (ii) the amount of the Special Distribution for each $1,000 Original Principal Amount of
Certificates of the applicable Class and the amount thereof constituting principal and interest; 
  
 (iii) the reason for the Special Distribution; and 
  
 (iv) the total amount to be received on such date for each $1,000 Original Principal Amount of Certificates
of the applicable Class but only, in the case of a Special Payment, if the related Special Distribution Date is also a Distribution Date. 
  
 (e) Distributions to Holders of Certificates shall be by check sent by first-class mail to the address of such Holder appearing on the
Certificate Register at the relevant Record Date or Special Record Date or, upon written application of a Holder of Certificates of any Class in the Original Principal Amount of $1,000,000 or more to the Certificate Trustee made at any time not
later than such Record Date or Special Record Date or continuing in effect from a prior request, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at such bank located in New York, New York, having wire transfer
capability as may be designated by such Holder; except that the final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only as provided in Section 9.01. The foregoing notwithstanding, any distributions made to Cede & Co., as the nominee
of the initial Clearing Agency, shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds. 
  
 Section 4.03. Statements to Certificateholders. 
  
 (a) On each Distribution Date, Special Distribution Date or any other date specified herein for distribution of any payments with respect
to any Class of Certificates, or as soon as practicable following such Distribution Date, Special Distribution Date or other date (unless the Certificate Trustee is the Note Trustee for the Notes to which such date applies and the statement required
below is provided by such Note Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to such distribution), the Certificate Trustee will send, with respect to each distribution, to Holders of Certificates of such Class a statement with respect to such
distribution to be made on such Distribution Date, Special Distribution Date or other date, as the case may be, setting forth the following information: 
  
 (i) the amount of such distribution to Holders of Certificates allocable to (A) principal and (B) interest in respect of the Notes of each
Note Issuer, in each case per $1,000 Original Principal Amount of each Class of Certificates; 
  
 (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Certificates in respect of the Notes of each Note Issuer, after giving effect to
payments allocated to principal reported under (i) above; and 
  
 (iii) the difference, if any, between the amount specified in (ii) above and the principal amount scheduled to be outstanding on such date according to the Expected Amortization Schedule. 
  

 29 








 (iv) the amount on deposit in the Overcollateralization Subaccount for each Note Issuer
and the Required Overcollateralization Level for each Note Issuer, after giving effect to the payments and deposits to be made on such date; 
  
 (v) the amount on deposit in the Capital Subaccount for each Note Issuer as of such date, after giving effect to the payments and deposits
to be made on such date, and the Required Capital Level for each Note Issuer; 
  
 (vi) any amounts on deposit in the Reserve Subaccount of each Note Issuer as of such date, after giving effect to the payments and deposits to be made on such date; 
  
 (vii) the amount paid to each of the Note Trustees and the
Delaware Trustee and Certificate Trustee since the previous payment date to and including such payment date; 
  
 (viii) the amount paid to each of the Servicers since the previous payment date to and including such payment date; 
  
 (ix) the amount paid to each of the Administrators since the
previous payment date to and including such payment date; and 
  
 (x) any other transfers and payments made pursuant to this Indenture since the previous payment date. 
  
 In providing the foregoing statement, the Certificate Trustee may rely upon the statements provided by any Note Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06 of the
Note Indentures. On each date on which the Certificate Trustee distributes any such report to the Holders of the Certificates of any Class, the Certificate Trustee shall also distribute such report to each Rating Agency. 
  
 (b) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each
calendar year but not later than the latest date permitted by law, the Certificate Trustee shall furnish to each Person who at any time during such calendar year was a Holder of any Class of Certificates and received a distribution thereon, a
statement containing the sum of the amounts determined pursuant to clause (a) (i) above with respect to such Class of Certificates for such calendar year, or, in the event such Person was a Holder of such Class of Certificates during a portion of
such calendar year, for the applicable portion of such year, and such other items as are readily available to the Certificate Trustee and that a Certificateholder shall reasonably request as necessary for the purpose of such Certificateholder’s
preparation of its federal and state income tax returns. 
  
 Section 4.04. Investment of Special Payment Moneys. Any money received by the Certificate Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01(a) representing a Special Payment that is not to be promptly distributed, to the extent practicable,
shall be invested in Eligible Investments at the written direction of the Servicer for the Notes for which such Special Payment has been made by the Certificate Trustee pending distribution of such Special Payment pursuant to Section 4.02. Any
investment made pursuant to this Section 4.04 shall be in such Eligible Investments maturing in not more than 60 days or such lesser time as is required for the distribution of any such funds on a Special Distribution Date pending the distribution
of such funds to 

  

 30

no liability with respect to any investment made pursuant to this Section 4.04 (including any losses on such investments), other than by reason of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Certificate Trustee. All income and earnings from
such investments shall be distributed, if and as received, on such Special Distribution Date as part of such Special Payment and shall be treated as payments of interest on the Certificates. 
  
 Section 4.05. Reduction in Principal. Any reduction in the
principal amount of any Certificate effected by any distribution in respect of principal thereof shall be binding upon all Holders of such Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the registration or transfer thereof or in lieu thereof,
whether or not noted thereon. 
  
 ARTICLE V. 
  
 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
  
 Section 5.01. Note Events of Default. 
  
 (a) If any Note Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, then, and in each and every case, the Certificate Trustee may vote all, and, upon the written direction of Holders representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Certificates then Outstanding, shall vote a
corresponding majority, of the Notes issued by the Defaulting Note Issuer in favor of declaring the unpaid principal amount of all such Notes then outstanding and accrued interest thereon to be due and payable in accordance with the provisions
thereof. In addition, if a Note Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Certificate Trustee may vote all, and, upon the written direction of Holders representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the

 (b) After a Note Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, subject to Section 5.01(c), the Certificate Trustee may, and upon
the written direction of Holders of Certificates representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of Certificates, by such officer or agent as it may appoint, shall, sell, convey, transfer and deliver any Note or Notes issued by the
Defaulting Note Issuer, without recourse to or warranty by the Certificate Trustee or any Certificateholder, to any Person, for cash, all upon such terms and conditions as the Certificate Trustee may reasonably deem advisable or, if so directed by
the Certificateholders, upon such terms and conditions as the Certificateholders may approve. 
  
 (c) The foregoing provisions of Section 5.01(b) notwithstanding, the Certificate Trustee shall not sell any Notes following the occurrence
of any Note Event of Default with respect to such Notes, other than a Note Event of Default arising with respect to 

  

 31 








 
such Notes described in Section 5.01(i), (ii) or (iii) of the Note Indenture for such Notes, unless (i) the Certificate Trustee determines that the amounts
receivable from the Collateral securing such Notes are not sufficient to pay in full the principal of and accrued interest on such Notes and all amounts payable pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 8.02(d) of the Note Indenture for such
Notes and the Certificate Trustee obtains the written consent of Holders of Certificates representing 66 2/3 percent of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Classes of the Certificates, or (ii) the Certificate Trustee obtains the written consent
of Holders of Certificates representing 100 percent of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Classes of the Certificates. 
  
 Section 5.02. Incidents of Sale of Notes. Upon any sale of any Notes of any Note Issuer made either under the power of sale given under this
Certificate Indenture or otherwise for the enforcement of this Certificate Indenture, the following shall be applicable: 
  
 (a) Certificateholders and Certificate Trustee May Purchase Notes. Any Certificateholder, the Certificate Trustee in its individual
or any other capacity or any other Person (other than any Seller) may bid for and purchase any of the Notes, and upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain, possess and dispose of such Notes in their own absolute right without further
accountability. 
  
 (b) Receipt of Certificate
Trustee Shall Discharge Purchaser. The receipt of the Certificate Trustee, on behalf of the Certificate Issuer, shall be a sufficient discharge to any purchaser for its purchase money, and, after paying such purchase money and receiving such
receipt, such purchaser or its personal representative or assigns shall not be obliged to see to the application of such purchase money, or be in any way answerable for any loss, misapplication or nonapplication thereof. 
  
 (c) Application of Moneys Received upon Sale. Any
moneys collected by the Certificate Issuer or the Certificate Trustee upon any sale made either under the power of sale given by this Certificate Indenture or otherwise for the enforcement of this Certificate Indenture, shall be applied as provided
in Section 4.02. 
  
 Section 5.03. Judicial Proceedings
Instituted by Certificate Trustee. If there shall be a failure to make payment of the principal of or interest on any Note of any Note Issuer, then the Certificate Trustee in its own name, and as trustee of an express trust, as holder of such
Note, may, and if directed in writing by the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Certificates but subject to the provisions of Article VI, shall, to the extent permitted by and in accordance with the terms of such Notes, be
entitled and empowered to institute any suits, actions or proceedings at law, in equity or otherwise, including the power to make a demand on the Note Trustee for such Notes to take action under the Note Indenture for such Notes to enforce the
Notes, for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid on such Notes and may prosecute any such claim or proceeding to judgment or final decree with respect to the whole amount of any such sums so due and unpaid. 
  
 Section 5.04. Control by Certificateholders. The Holders of a
majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Certificates (or, if less than all Classes are affected, the affected Class or Classes) shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any 

  

 32 








 
proceeding for any remedy available to the Certificate Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Certificate Trustee under this Certificate
Indenture, including any right of the Certificate Trustee as holder of the Notes of any Note Issuer of the corresponding Class or Classes, in each case unless a different percentage is specified herein; provided, however, that: 
  
 (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of
law or with this Certificate Indenture and would not involve the Certificate Trustee in personal liability or expense; 
  
 (b) the Certificate Trustee shall not determine that the action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders of Certificates
of such Class or Classes not taking part in such direction; 
  
 (c) the Certificate Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Certificate Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction; and 
  
 (d) if a Note Event of Default with respect to such Class of Notes shall have occurred and be continuing,
such direction shall not obligate the Certificate Trustee to vote more than a corresponding majority of the related Notes held by the Certificate Trustee in favor of declaring the unpaid principal amount of the Notes and accrued interest thereon to
be due and payable or directing any action by the Note Trustee for such Notes with respect to such Note Event of Default. 
  
 Section 5.05. Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes of a Note Issuer as
provided in Section 5.01, the Holders of Certificates of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Certificates may direct the waiver of any past default or Note Event of Default and its consequences except a default or Note Event of
Default (a) in the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes of such Note Issuer, (b) in respect of a covenant or provision under any Note Indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each
Certificate of all Classes affected or (c) in the deposit or distribution of any Payment or Special Payment under Section 4.01 or in the distribution of any payment under Section 4.02. Upon any such direction, the Certificate Trustee shall vote the
percentage of the Notes of the corresponding Class issued by such Defaulting Note Issuer held by the Certificate Trustee as corresponds to the percentage of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Certificates of such Class held by Holders who
directed the Certificate Trustee to waive such default or Note Event of Default hereunder. 
  
 Upon any waiver that is effective under the terms of a Note Indenture to waive a Note Event of Default, such Note Event of Default shall cease to exist with respect to this Certificate Indenture, and, in the case of a
default, any Note Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Certificate Indenture and any written direction given by the Certificate Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders to the Note
Trustee for the Notes under which such Note Event of Default has been waived or in respect of any such Notes shall be annulled with respect thereto; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Note Event of Default or
impair any right consequent thereon. 
  

 33 








 Section 5.06. Right of Certificateholders To Receive Payments Not To Be Impaired. Anything
in this Certificate Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, including Section 5.07 hereof, the right of any Certificateholder to receive distributions of payments required pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof on the Certificates when due, or to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the applicable Distribution Date, Special Distribution Date or other date specified herein for the making of such payment, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of
such Certificateholder. 
  
 Section 5.07.
Certificateholders May Not Bring Suit Except Under Certain Conditions. A Certificateholder shall not have the right to institute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity or otherwise with respect to this Certificate Indenture,
for the appointment of a receiver or for the enforcement of any other remedy under this Certificate Indenture and each Holder agrees, by its acceptance of any Certificate, to the fullest extent permitted by law, not to avail itself of any remedies
provided by the Statute or to utilize or enforce the Statutory Lien, unless: 
  
 (a) such Certificateholder has previously given written notice to the Certificate Trustee of a continuing Note Event of Default with respect to the Class of Certificates held by such Holder; 
  
 (b) the Holders of not less than 25 percent of the
Outstanding Amount of the Certificates have made written request to the Certificate Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in respect of such Note Event of Default in its own name as Certificate Trustee hereunder; 
  
 (c) such Certificateholder or Certificateholders have
offered to the Certificate Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request; 
  
 (d) the Certificate Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of
such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such action, suit or proceedings; and 
  
 (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Certificate Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders
of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Certificates; 
  
 it being
understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Certificate Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other
Holders of Certificates or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Certificateholders or to enforce any right under this Certificate Indenture, except in the manner herein provided. The provisions of this Section 5.07
shall be deemed to modify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights of the Certificateholders under Section 3816 of the Statutory Trust Statute. 
  
 In the event the Certificate Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Certificates,
each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Certificates, the Certificate Trustee in its sole 

  

 34 








 
discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Certificate Indenture. 
  
 Section 5.08. Certificate Trustee May Bring Suit. If there
shall be a breach of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Pledge by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, then the Certificate Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, as holder of the Notes, shall be, to the extent permitted by state
and federal law, entitled and empowered to institute any suits, actions or proceedings at law, in equity or otherwise, to enforce the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Pledge and to collect any monetary damages as a result of a breach thereof, and may
prosecute any such suit, action or proceeding to final judgment or decree. 
  
 Section 5.09. Remedies Cumulative. No remedy given hereunder to the Certificate Trustee or to any of the Certificateholders shall be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and every such remedy shall
be cumulative and in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter given by statute, law, equity or otherwise. 
  
 ARTICLE VI. 
  
 THE CERTIFICATE TRUSTEE 
  
 Section 6.01. Notice of Defaults. As promptly as practicable after, and in any event within 30 days after, receipt by a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Trustee of written notice or actual
knowledge of the occurrence of any default (as such term is defined below) hereunder, the Certificate Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Certificate Issuer, the Note Trustee for the Note Indenture under which such default has arisen and the
Holders of Certificates in accordance with Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, notice of such default, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default hereunder with respect
to any Class of Certificates arising from a default under any Note Indenture in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note, the Certificate Trustee shall be fully protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a trust committee
of Responsible Officers of the Certificate Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Certificates. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event
that is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, a Note Event of Default with respect to such Class of Certificates. 
  
 Section 6.02. Certain Rights of Certificate Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act: 
  
 (a) the Certificate Trustee may conclusively rely and shall
be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting in reliance upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 
  
 (b) any request or direction of the Certificate Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Request, accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the 

  

 35 








 
Certificate Trustee that the Note Issuers have given their prior written approval of such request or direction; 
  
 (c) whenever in the administration of this Certificate
Indenture the Certificate Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Certificate Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in
the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate of the Certificate Issuer; 
  
 (d) the Certificate Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 
  
 (e) the Certificate Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Certificate
Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Certificateholders pursuant to this Certificate Indenture, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Certificate Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against
the cost, expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 
  
 (f) the Certificate Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document; 
  
 (g) the Certificate Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees and the Certificate Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by
it hereunder; 
  
 (h) the Certificate Trustee
shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Certificates relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Certificate Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Certificate Trustee, under this Certificate Indenture; 
  
 (i) the Certificate Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in
the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk is not reasonably assured to it; 
  
 (j) the Certificate Trustee shall not be personally liable
for any action taken or suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Certificate Indenture so long as that the Certificate
Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith; 
  

 36 








 (k) in the event that the Certificate Trustee is also acting as Paying Agent,
Authenticating Agent or Certificate Registrar hereunder, the rights and protections afforded to the Certificate Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall also be afforded to such Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent or Certificate Registrar;

  
 (l) the Certificate Trustee shall not be
charged with knowledge of any Note Event of Default or of any breach of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Pledge unless a Responsible Officer obtains actual knowledge of such event or the Certificate Trustee receives written notice of such event
from the Certificate Issuer, any Note Trustee, any Servicer or a majority of the Holders of Certificates of the Class or Classes so affected; and 
  
 (m) without limiting its rights under bankruptcy law, when the Certificate Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with
the insolvency or bankruptcy of any party hereto or with the Basic Documents to which it is a party, such expenses (including the fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any bankruptcy or insolvency law. 
  
 Section 6.03. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Certificates. The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates, except the execution thereof and the certificates of authentication, shall not be taken as the
statements of the Certificate Trustee, and the Certificate Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. Except as set forth in Section 6.14, the Certificate Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Certificate Indenture, the Notes, any Basic Document or the Certificates. 
  
 Section 6.04. May Hold Certificates. The Certificate Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Certificate Registrar or any of their Affiliates or any other agent, in their respective individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates and, subject to Sections 310(b) and 311 of the Trust Indenture Act, may otherwise deal with the Certificate Issuer, the Note Issuers or the Note Trustees with the same rights it would have if
it were not Certificate Trustee, Paying Agent, Certificate Registrar or such other agent. 
  
 Section 6.05. Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Certificate Trustee or the Paying Agent in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required herein or by law and
neither the Certificate Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any liability for interest upon any such moneys except as provided for herein. 
  
 Section 6.06. Compensation and Reimbursement; Indemnification. 
  
 (a) Pursuant to the Fee and Indemnity Agreement, the Note Issuers have agreed to pay, or cause to be paid,
to the Certificate Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services and to reimburse it for its reasonable expenses. 
  
 (b) Pursuant to the Fee and Indemnity Agreement, the Note Issuers shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Certificate Trustee and
any of the affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents of the Certificate Trustee (the “Certificate Trustee Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all losses, claims, actions, suits, taxes, damages, expenses and
liabilities (including liabilities under state or federal securities laws) of any kind and nature whatsoever (collectively, “Certificate Trustee Expenses”), to the extent that such Certificate 

  

 37 








 
Trustee Expenses arise out of or are imposed upon or asserted against such Certificate Trustee Indemnified Persons with respect to the creation, operation or
termination of the Certificate Issuer, the execution, delivery, enforcement or performance of the Declaration of Trust or this Certificate Indenture, as the case may be, or the transactions contemplated hereby, the failure of any Note Issuer or any
other Person (other than the Person being indemnified) to perform its obligations under the Fee and Indemnity Agreement or under any of the Basic Documents, or otherwise in connection with the Basic Documents or the transactions contemplated
thereby, but no Note Issuer shall be required to indemnify any Certificate Trustee Indemnified Person for any Certificate Trustee Expenses that result from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Certificate Trustee Indemnified Person.
The Note Issuers will not, without the prior written consent of the Certificate Trustee Indemnified Person, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in
respect of which indemnification may be sought under this Section 6.06(b), (whether or not the Certificate Trustee Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an
unconditional release of the Certificate Trustee Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. The obligations of the Note Issuers to indemnify the Certificate Trustee Indemnified Persons shall survive
the termination of the Fee and Indemnity Agreement, this Certificate Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Certificate Trustee. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate Indenture, the Certificate Trustee shall have no recourse against the Certificate Issuer or
the Notes of any Note Issuer or payments thereon or proceeds thereof for payment of any amounts required to be paid to the Certificate Trustee under this Section 6.06(b). 
  
 Section 6.07. Corporate Certificate Trustee Required; Eligibility. 
  
 (a) The Certificate Trustee shall at all times be eligible
to act as a trustee under Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and shall have a long-term debt rating of at least A by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. If such
entity publishes reports of conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of federal, state, territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.07, the combined
capital and surplus of such entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. 
  
 (b) In determining whether the Certificate Trustee has a conflicting interest under Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act and this
Section, each other Class of Certificates will be treated as having been issued under an indenture other than this Certificate Indenture. 
  
 (c) If at any time the Certificate Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.07, the
Certificate Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.08. 
  

 38 








 Section 6.08. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 
  
 (a) No resignation or removal of the Certificate Trustee and
no appointment of a successor Certificate Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective (i) until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Certificate Trustee under Section 6.09 and (ii) other than in the case of paragraph (b) below,
unless a successor Certificate Trustee has been appointed and has accepted such appointment and the Note Issuers and the Certificate Issuer have received written confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies that no lowering or withdrawal of the
then current ratings of any Class of Certificates will result from such appointment. 
  
 (b) The Certificate Trustee may resign at any time in the case of a conflicting interest as determined in accordance with Section 6.07(b)
by giving written notice thereof to the Certificate Issuer, the Agencies, the Authorized Agents, the Note Issuers and the Note Trustees. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Certificate Trustee shall not have been delivered to the
Certificate Issuer and the Certificate Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Certificate Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Certificate Trustee.

  
 (c) The Certificate Trustee may be removed at
any time in the case of a conflicting interest as determined in accordance with Section 6.07(b) by Act of Certificateholders holding Certificates representing not less than 51 percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Certificates delivered to the
Certificate Trustee and to the Certificate Issuer, the Note Issuers and the Note Trustees. 
  
 (d) Upon 30 days’ written notice, the Certificate Trustee (i) may resign with respect to the Certificates as a whole by giving such
written notice to the Certificate Issuer, the Agencies, the Authorized Agents, the Note Issuers and the Note Trustees or (ii) may be removed with respect to the Certificates as a whole by Act of Certificateholders holding Certificates representing
not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of Certificates delivered to the Certificate Issuer, the Note Issuers and the Note Trustees. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Certificate Trustee with respect to the Certificates as a
whole shall not have been delivered to the Certificate Issuer, the Note Issuers and the Note Trustees within 90 days after the giving of such notice of resignation or Act by the Certificateholders as a whole for removal of the Certificate Trustee,
the Certificate Issuer may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Certificate Trustee with respect to the Certificates as a whole. 
  
 (e) If at any time: 
  
 (i) the Certificate Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act after written
request therefor by the Certificate Issuer or by any Holder of Certificates who has been a bona fide Holder of Certificates for at least six months; or 
  
 (ii) the Certificate Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.07 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the
Certificate Issuer or by any Certificateholder; or 
  
 (iii) the Certificate Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Certificate Trustee or of its property 

  

 39 








 
shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Certificate Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation; 
  
 then, in any
case, (x) the Certificate Issuer may remove the Certificate Trustee or (y) any Holder of Certificates who has been a bona fide Holder of Certificates for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Certificate Trustee and the appointment of a successor Certificate Trustee. 
  
 (f) If a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Trustee shall have received written notice of an Avoidable Tax that has been or is likely
to be asserted, the Certificate Trustee shall promptly notify the Certificate Issuer, the Agencies and the Note Issuers thereof and shall, within 30 days of such notification, resign hereunder unless within such 30-day period the Certificate Trustee
shall have received notice that either the Certificate Issuer or the Note Issuers have agreed to pay such tax. In such event, the Certificate Issuer (with the prior written approval of the Agencies and the Note Issuers) shall promptly appoint a
successor Certificate Trustee in a jurisdiction where there are no Avoidable Taxes. As used herein, an “Avoidable Tax” means a state or local tax: (i) upon (w) the Certificate Issuer, (x) the Trust Property, (y) the
Certificateholders or (z) the Certificate Trustee for which the Certificate Trustee is entitled to seek reimbursement from the Trust Property, and (ii) that would be avoided if the Certificate Trustee were located in another state, or jurisdiction
within a state, within the United States. A tax shall not be an Avoidable Tax if either the Certificate Issuer or the Note Issuers shall agree to pay, and shall pay, such tax. 
  
 (g) If the Certificate Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall
occur in the office of the Certificate Trustee for any reason, the Certificate Issuer (with the prior written approval of the Note Issuers and the Agencies) shall promptly appoint a successor Certificate Trustee. If, within one year after such
resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Certificate Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Certificateholders representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Certificates
delivered to the Certificate Issuer, the Note Trustees and the retiring Certificate Trustee, the successor Certificate Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Certificate Trustee and
supersede the successor Certificate Trustee appointed as provided above. If no successor Certificate Trustee shall have been so appointed as provided above and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder of Certificates who
has been a bona fide Holder of Certificates for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Certificate Trustee. 
  
 (h) The successor Certificate Trustee shall give notice of
the resignation and removal of the Certificate Trustee and appointment of the successor Certificate Trustee by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders as their names and addresses appear in the
Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency, the Certificate Issuer and the Agencies. Each notice shall include the name of such successor 

  

 40 








 
Certificate Trustee and the address of the corporate trust office of such successor Certificate Trustee. 
  
 (i) The Certificate Issuer shall notify the Rating Agencies
and the Agencies of any resignation and removal of the Certificate Trustee and appointment of a successor Certificate Trustee under this Section 6.08. 
  
 Section 6.09. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Certificate Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Certificate Issuer and to the retiring Certificate Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Certificate Trustee shall become effective and such successor Certificate
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Certificate Trustee; but, on request of the Certificate Issuer or the successor Certificate Trustee, such
retiring Certificate Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Certificate Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Certificate Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such
successor Certificate Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Certificate Trustee hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Certificate Trustee, the Certificate Issuer, the retiring Certificate Trustee and such successor Certificate
Trustee shall execute and deliver any and all instruments containing such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and for more fully and certainly vesting in, such successor Certificate Trustee all such rights,
powers and trusts. No Certificate Trustee hereunder shall be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor Certificate Trustee. 
  
 No successor Certificate Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Certificate Trustee shall be qualified
and eligible under this Article and any and all amounts due and payable to the predecessor Certificate Trustee have been paid. 
  
 Section 6.10. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation into which the Certificate Trustee may be merged
or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Certificate Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the
corporate trust business of the Certificate Trustee, shall be the successor of the Certificate Trustee hereunder; provided, such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Certificates shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Certificate Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such
authenticating Certificate Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Certificates so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Certificate Trustee had itself authenticated such Certificates. 
  
 Section 6.11. Maintenance of Agencies. 
  
 (a) There shall at all times be maintained in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where Certificates may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, and for payment thereof and where notices and demands to or upon the Certificate Trustee on behalf
of the Certificate Issuer in respect of the Certificates 

  

 41 








 
or of this Certificate Indenture may be served. At no time shall there be any other such office or agency outside the United States. Such office or agency
shall be initially at The Bank of New York, 101 Barclay Street, Floor 8 West, New York, New York 10286, Attention: Asset-Backed Finance Unit. Written notice of any change of location thereof shall be given by the Certificate Trustee to the
Certificate Issuer, the Note Trustees, the Note Issuers, the Certificateholders, the Agencies and the Rating Agencies. In the event that no such office or agency shall be maintained or no such notice of location or of change of location shall be
given, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Certificate Trustee. 
  
 (b) There shall at all times be a Certificate Registrar, an Authentication Agent and a Paying Agent hereunder. Each such Authorized Agent
shall be a bank or trust company, shall be a entity organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any state, with a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, shall have a long-term debt rating of at least A by
Moody’s and by Standard & Poor’s, shall be authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and shall be subject to supervision by federal or state authorities. The Certificate Trustee shall initially be the Paying Agent,
Authentication Agent, and, as provided in Section 2.06, Certificate Registrar hereunder. Each Certificate Registrar, if other than the Certificate Trustee, shall furnish to the Certificate Trustee, at stated intervals of not more than six months,
and at such other times as the Certificate Trustee may request in writing, a copy of the Certificate Register. 
  
 (c) Any corporation into which any Authorized Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authorized Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authorized Agent, shall be the successor of such Authorized Agent hereunder,
if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authorized Agent or such successor corporation. 
  
 (d) Any Authorized Agent may at any time resign by giving
written notice of resignation to the Certificate Trustee, the Certificate Issuer and the Note Trustees. The Certificate Issuer (with the prior written approval of the Note Issuers) may, and at the request of the Certificate Trustee shall, at any
time terminate the agency of any Authorized Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authorized Agent, the Note Trustees and to the Certificate Trustee. Upon the resignation or termination of an Authorized Agent or in case at any time
any such Authorized Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section (when, in either case, no other Authorized Agent performing the functions of such Authorized Agent shall have been appointed by the Certificate Trustee), the Certificate Issuer
(with the prior written approval of the Note Issuers) shall promptly appoint one or more qualified successor Authorized Agents, reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Trustee, to perform the functions of the Authorized Agent who has resigned or
whose agency has been terminated or who shall have ceased to be eligible under this Section. The Certificate Issuer shall give written notice of any such appointment made by it to the Certificate Trustee and the Note Trustees; and in each case the
Certificate Trustee shall mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders as their names and addresses appear on the Certificate Register. 
  

 42 








 (e) Pursuant and subject to the Fee and Indemnity Agreement, the Note Issuers have agreed
to pay, or cause to be paid, from time to time to each Authorized Agent reasonable compensation for its services and to reimburse it for its reasonable expenses, and no Authorized Agent shall have any recourse against the Certificate Issuer or the
Trust Property for payment of such amounts. 
  
 Section 6.12.
Money for Certificate Payments To Be Held in Trust. 
  
 (a) All moneys deposited with any Paying Agent for the purpose of any payment on Certificates of any Class shall be deposited and held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders of such Class entitled to such
payment, subject to the provisions of this Section. Moneys so deposited and held in trust shall constitute a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Class of Certificateholders with respect to which such money was deposited. 
  
 The Certificate Trustee may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Certificate Indenture or for any other purpose, direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Certificate Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Certificate Trustee upon the same
trusts as those upon which such sums were held by such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Certificate Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 
  
 (b) The Certificate Trustee will cause each Paying Agent
other than the Certificate Trustee to execute and deliver to the Certificate Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Certificate Trustee (and, if the Certificate Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees),
subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will: 
  
 (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 and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided; 
  
 (ii) give the Certificate Trustee notice of any default under this Certificate Indenture of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made by the Certificate Issuer (or any other
obligor on the Certificates) with respect to the Certificates; 
  
 (iii) at any time during the continuance of such default, upon the written request of the Certificate Trustee, forthwith pay to the Certificate Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of the Certificates
if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and 
  
 (iv) 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. 
  

 43 








 Section 6.13. Registration of Notes in Certificate Trustee’s Name. The Certificate
Trustee agrees that all Notes of each Note Issuer and all Eligible Investments, if any, shall be issued in the name of the Certificate Trustee or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificate Issuer, and held by the Certificate Trustee; or, if not so
held, the Certificate Trustee or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificate Issuer, shall be reflected as the owner of such Notes or Eligible Investments, as the case may be, in the register of the issuer of such Notes or Eligible Investments. In no
event shall the Certificate Trustee invest in, or hold, Notes or Eligible Investments in a manner that would cause the Certificate Trustee not to have the ownership interest in such Notes or Eligible Investments under the applicable provisions of
the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the location where the Certificate Trustee holds such Notes or Eligible Investments or other applicable law then in effect. The Certificate Trustee shall at all times maintain possession of the Notes in the
State of New York. 
  
 Section 6.14. Representations and
Warranties of Certificate Trustee. The Certificate Trustee hereby represents and warrants that: 
  
 (a) the Certificate Trustee is validly existing as a state banking institution in good standing under the laws of the State of New York;

  
 (b) the Certificate Trustee has full power,
authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform this Certificate Indenture and the Basic Documents to which the Certificate Trustee is a party and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery, and performance by it
of this Certificate Indenture and such Basic Documents; and 
  
 (c) when delivered by the Certificate Trustee, the Certificates will have been duly executed by the Delaware Trustee on behalf of the Certificate Issuer and duly authenticated by the Certificate Trustee. 

 
 Section 6.15. Withholding Taxes; Information Reporting. The
Certificate Trustee, as trustee for the assets of a grantor trust, shall exclude and withhold from each distribution of principal and interest and other amounts due hereunder or under the Certificates any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto
as required by law. The Certificate Trustee agrees that it will act as such withholding agent and, in connection therewith, whenever any present or future taxes or similar charges are required to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable in
respect of the Certificates, to withhold such amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in the name of and on behalf of the Certificateholders, that it will file any necessary withholding tax returns or statements when due, and
that, as promptly as possible after the payment thereof, it will deliver to each Certificateholder appropriate documentation showing the payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence as such Certificateholders may reasonably
request from time to time. The Certificate Trustee agrees to file any other information reports as it may be required to file with respect to taxes. For purposes of reporting on Internal Revenue Service Form 1041 (and any statement attached thereto)
or any successor form thereto, the Certificate Trustee will separately set forth information reported with respect to each Class of Certificates. 
  
 Section 6.16. Obligations to Note Trustees and Delaware Trustee. It is agreed by the parties hereto that the services of the Note Trustees
and the Delaware Trustee are an essential 

  

 44 








 
part of the transactions contemplated hereby. Therefore, to the extent amounts payable under the Fee and Indemnity Agreement to the Note Trustees and/or the
Delaware Trustee are not paid when due, the payment of such amounts shall be made by the Certificate Trustee and any amounts so paid or to be paid by the Certificate Trustee shall constitute expenses of the Certificate Trustee for which it is
entitled to reimbursement under Section 6.06 of this Certificate Indenture and under Section 1(a) of the Fee and Indemnity Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Delaware Trustee and the Note Trustees shall not have recourse against the
Certificate Trustee with respect to such amounts except to the extent the Certificate Trustee is reimbursed under the Fee and Indemnity Agreement or realizes against the Collateral under the Note Indentures or pursuant to any lien created by the
Statute or the Financing Order with respect to such amounts. 
  
 ARTICLE VII. 
  
 SUPPLEMENTAL CERTIFICATE
INDENTURES 
  
 Section 7.01. Supplemental
Certificate Indentures Without Consent of Certificateholders. Without the consent of Certificateholders, the Certificate Issuer (with the prior written approval of the Note Issuers) may, and the Certificate Trustee (subject to Section 7.03)
shall, at any time and from time to time enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to the Certificate Trustee, for any of the following purposes: 
  
 (a) to add to the covenants of the Certificate Issuer for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or to
surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Certificate Issuer; 
  
 (b) to correct or supplement any provision herein or in any supplemental certificate indenture that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein or in any supplemental certificate indenture or to
make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Certificate Indenture; provided, however, that any such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders;

  
 (c) to cure any ambiguity or correct any
mistake; or 
  
 (d) to qualify, if necessary,
this Certificate Indenture (including any supplemental certificate indenture) under the Trust Indenture Act, or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted, and to add to this Certificate Indenture such other provisions as may be expressly
permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, excluding, however, the provisions referred to in Section 316(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act as in effect at the date as of which this instrument was executed or any corresponding provision in any similar
federal statute hereafter enacted. 
  
 Section 7.02.
Supplemental Certificate Indentures With Consent of Certificateholders. With the consent of the Certificateholders holding Certificates representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Certificates of each
Class affected thereby, by Act of said Certificateholders delivered to the Certificate Issuer, the Note Trustees and the Certificate Trustee, the Certificate Issuer (with the prior written approval of the Note Issuers) may, and the Certificate
Trustee (subject to Section 7.03) shall, enter into an 

  

 45 








 
indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
this Certificate Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights and obligations of the Holders of Certificates of each such Class under this Certificate Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the
consent of the Certificateholder of each Outstanding Certificate affected thereby: 
  
 (a) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, any receipt by the Certificate Trustee of payments on the Notes of any
Note Issuer or distributions that are required to be made herein on any Certificate, or change any date of payment on any Certificate, or change the place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Certificate is payable, or impair the
right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment or distribution on or after the Distribution Date, Special Distribution Date or other date specified herein applicable thereto; 
  
 (b) permit the disposition of any Note of any Note Issuer in
the Trust Property except as permitted by this Certificate Indenture, or otherwise deprive any Holder of Certificates of any Class of the benefit of the ownership of the Notes of any Note Issuer of the corresponding Class in the Trust; 

 
 (c) reduce the percentage of the aggregate Outstanding
Amount of the Certificates of any Class that is required for any such supplemental indenture, or reduce such percentage required for any waiver or consent (of compliance with certain provisions of this Certificate Indenture or certain defaults
hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this Certificate Indenture; 
  
 (d) modify any of the provisions of this Section, except to increase any percentage set forth herein or to provide that certain other provisions of this Certificate Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the
consent of the Holder of each Certificate affected thereby; or 
  
 (e) adversely affect the status of the Trust as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes. 
  
 It shall not be necessary for any Act of Certificateholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental certificate
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. The Certificate Issuer shall give each Rating Agency five Business Days prior written notice of any such proposed supplemental certificate indenture. Promptly
after the execution by the Certificate Issuer and the Certificate Trustee of any supplemental certificate indenture pursuant to this Section, the Certificate Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Certificates to which such supplemental
certificate indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental certificate indenture. Any failure of the Certificate Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair
or affect the validity of any such supplemental certificate indenture. 
  
 Section 7.03. Documents Affecting Immunity or Indemnity. If in the opinion of the Certificate Trustee any document required to be executed by it pursuant to the terms of 

  

 46 








 
Section 7.01 or 7.02 adversely affects any interest, right, duty, immunity or indemnity in favor of the Certificate Trustee under this Certificate Indenture,
the Certificate Trustee may in its discretion decline to execute such document. 
  
 Section 7.04. Execution of Supplemental Certificate Indentures. In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental certificate indenture permitted by this Article or the
modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Certificate Indenture, the Certificate Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental
certificate indenture is authorized or permitted by this Certificate Indenture. 
  
 Section 7.05. Effect of Supplemental Certificate Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental certificate indenture under this Article, this Certificate Indenture shall be modified in accordance
therewith, and such supplemental certificate indenture shall form a part of this Certificate Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of any Certificate theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

  
 Section 7.06. Conformity with Trust Indenture
Act. Every supplemental certificate indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect, so long as this Certificate Indenture shall then be qualified under the Trust
Indenture Act. 
  
 Section 7.07. Reference in
Certificates to Supplemental Certificate Indentures. Certificates authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental certificate indenture pursuant to this Article may bear a notation in form approved by the Certificate Trustee
as to any matter provided for in such supplemental certificate indenture; and, in such case, suitable notation may be made upon Outstanding Certificates after proper presentation and demand. 
  
 ARTICLE VIII. 
  
 AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS TO NOTES, NOTE INDENTURES 
 AND OTHER BASIC DOCUMENTS 
  
 Section 8.01. Amendments and Supplements to Notes, Note Indentures and Other Basic Documents. In the event that the Certificate Issuer or
the Certificate Trustee, as holder of the Notes of each Class in trust for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates of the corresponding Class, receives a request for a consent to any amendment, modification, waiver or supplement under the Notes
of any Note Issuer, any Note Indenture or any other Basic Document to which the Certificate Issuer or the Certificate Trustee is a party, the Certificate Issuer shall forward such request for consent to the Certificate Trustee, and the Certificate
Trustee shall forthwith send a notice of such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or supplement, to each Holder of Certificates of such Class registered on the Certificate Register as of such date. The Certificate Trustee shall request from
such Certificateholders directions as to (a) whether or not the Certificate Trustee should take or refrain from taking any action that a holder of such Note has the option to direct, (b) whether or not to give or execute or direct the Certificate
Issuer to give or execute any waivers, consents, amendments, modifications or supplements as a holder of such 

  

 47 








 
Note and (c) how to vote such Note if a vote has been called for with respect thereto; provided, however, in the case of any change to the terms of,
or modification to, the Notes of any Note Issuer, the Certificateholders may not direct any such action to be taken or direct whether or not to give or execute any such waiver, consent, amendment, modification or supplement that is not pursuant to
the original terms of such Notes, unless the Certificate Trustee obtains an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the Certificate Issuer of independent tax counsel to the effect that after any such action, waiver, consent, amendment, modification or
supplement the Trust will continue to be treated as a “grantor trust” for federal income tax purposes. If such a request for Certificateholder direction shall have been made, in directing any action or casting any vote or giving any
consent as the holder of the Notes of any Note Issuer, the Certificate Trustee shall vote or consent with respect to such Notes in the same proportion as the Certificates of the corresponding Class were actually voted by Acts of the Holders thereof
delivered to the Certificate Trustee prior to two Business Days before the Certificate Trustee takes such action or casts such vote or gives such consent. 
  
 ARTICLE IX. 
  
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
  
 Section 9.01. Satisfaction and Discharge of Certificate Indenture. This Certificate Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the Certificates, and the Certificate Trustee, on
reasonable demand of and at the expense of the Certificate Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Certificate Indenture with respect to the Certificates, upon the distribution to all Holders of
Certificates and the Certificate Trustee of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Certificate Indenture and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust Property. The Certificate Issuer shall pay or provide for
the payment of all remaining liabilities of the Certificate Trustee, but solely from amounts payable by the Note Issuers under the Fee and Indemnity Agreement. 
  

Notice of any distribution pursuant to the paragraph above shall be mailed promptly by the Certificate Trustee to Holders of Certificates then
outstanding. Such notice shall specify the Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be, upon which the Holders of Certificates may surrender their Certificates to the Certificate Trustee for payment of the final distribution
and cancellation. Such notice shall be mailed (a) if with respect to a final distribution, as soon as practicable following receipt of notice from a Note Trustee of a final payment on a corresponding Note, (b) if with respect to a Special Payment
other than a Special Payment constituting a redemption, not earlier than the 60th day and not later than the 20th day next preceding such final distribution or (c) if with respect to a Special Payment constituting a redemption of Certificates
resulting from a redemption of Notes of any Note Issuer, then in accordance with the provisions of the relevant Section of Article IV hereof. Such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be, upon
which the proposed final payment of the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate Trustee therein specified, (b) the amount of any such proposed final payment and (c)
that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date or the Special Record Date otherwise applicable to such Special Distribution Date, as the case may be, is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of
the Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate Trustee 

  

 48 








 
therein specified. The Certificate Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Holders of Certificates.
Upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates, the Certificate Trustee shall cause to be distributed to the Holders thereof amounts distributable thereon on such Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be, pursuant to
Section 4.02. 
  
 In the event that all of the Holders of
Certificates shall not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Certificate Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Holders of such
Certificates to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. In the event that any money held by the Certificate Trustee for the payment of distributions on the Certificates shall remain
unclaimed for two years (or such lesser time as the Certificate Trustee shall be satisfied, after 60 days’ notice from the Certificate Issuer (with the prior written approval of the Note Issuers), is one month prior to the escheat period
provided under applicable law) after the final distribution date with respect thereto, the Certificate Trustee shall pay such money to the Note Trustees (pro rata based on the initial principal amount of the Notes issued under each Note Indenture)
for deposit into the respective collection account of each such Note Trustee or, if such collection account no longer exists, to the applicable Note Issuer. The Certificate Trustee or the Note Issuers shall give written notice thereof to the Note
Trustees, the Note Issuers and the Certificate Issuer. 
  
 ARTICLE X. 
  
 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

  
 Section 10.01. Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Pledge; Certificates and Notes Not Obligation of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Agencies or Sellers. 
  
 (a) The Certificate Issuer hereby finds and determines, and hereby represents and warrants, that it constitutes a “special purpose
trust” and a “financing entity” under Section 1H(a) of the Statute, and that the Certificates constitute “electric rate reduction bonds” under Section 1H(a) of the Statute and that the Holders of the Certificates are
entitled to the rights and benefits thereunder. Pursuant to Section 1H(b)(3) of the Statute, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts pledges and agrees with the Note Issuers, the Certificate Issuer and the Holders of the Certificates (the
“Commonwealth of Massachusetts Pledge”) as follows: 
  
 [T]he [C]ommonwealth [of Massachusetts] does hereby pledge and agree with the owners of the transition property and holders of electric rate reduction bonds that the [C]ommonwealth [of Massachusetts] shall not (i)
alter the provisions of this chapter which make the transition charges imposed by the financing order irrevocable and binding or (ii) limit or alter the reimbursable transition costs amounts, transition property, financing orders, and all rights
thereunder until the electric rate reduction bonds, together with the interest thereon, are fully met and discharged. 
  
 Further, the Certificate Issuer does hereby pledge and agree with the Note Issuers and the Holders of the Certificates that it will not act in a manner
inconsistent with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Pledge and will not take any action that would impair any rights of the Note 

  

 49 








 
Issuers or the Holders of the Certificates or the Notes, the Transition Property or the Certificates. The Certificate Issuer hereby further agrees to treat
the Notes as debt of the Note Issuers, secured by, among other things, the Transition Property of each Note Issuer and the equity of each Note Issuer on deposit in its Capital Subaccount, for all purposes. 
  
 (b) Each Certificate represents a fractional undivided
beneficial interest in a corresponding Class of Notes and the proceeds thereof. The Notes of a Note Issuer represent the obligations only of that Note Issuer and do not represent obligations of any other Note Issuer. The Certificates and the Notes
of any Note Issuer do not represent an interest in or obligation of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Agencies, any other governmental agency or instrumentality or the Sellers or any of their affiliates, except for BEC Funding II, LLC, which is
an affiliate of Boston Edison and CEC Funding LLC, which is an affiliate of Commonwealth Electric Company. None of the Certificates, the Notes of any Note Issuer or the underlying Transition Property will be guaranteed or insured by the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts, the Agencies, the Certificate Issuer or any other governmental agency or instrumentality or by the Sellers or their affiliates. 
  
 Neither the full faith and credit nor the taxing power of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Agencies or any other governmental agency or
instrumentality is pledged to the payment of the principal of, purchase price of, or interest on, the Certificates or the Notes of any Note Issuer, or to the payments in respect of the Transition Property, nor are the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
the Agencies or any other governmental agency or instrumentality in any manner obligated to make any appropriation for the payment thereof. 
  
 Section 10.02. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate
this Certificate Indenture, the Declaration of Trust or the Certificate Issuer, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a
partition or winding up of the Certificate Issuer, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations, and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them. 
  
 Section 10.03. No Recourse to Certificate Issuer. Notwithstanding any provision of this Certificate Indenture or any supplemental
certificate indenture to the contrary, Holders shall have no recourse against the Certificate Trustee, the Certificate Issuer or the Agencies, but shall look only to the Trust Property with respect to any amounts due to the Holders hereunder and
under the Certificates. 
  
 Section 10.04. Certificates
Nonassessable and Fully Paid. Pursuant to Section 3803(a) of the Statutory Trust Statute, Certificateholders shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized
under the General Corporation law of the State of Delaware. Certificateholders shall not be personally liable for obligations of the Certificate Issuer, the interests in the Certificate Issuer represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable
for any losses or expenses of the Certificate Issuer or for any reason whatsoever, and upon authentication of the Certificates by the Certificate Trustee pursuant to Section 2.04, the Certificates are and shall be deemed fully paid and
non-assessable. No Certificateholder shall have any right (except as expressly provided herein) to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust Property, the Certificate Issuer, or the obligations of the parties
hereto, nor shall anything set forth herein, or contained in 

  

 50 








 
the terms of the Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association.

  
 Section 10.05. Notices.

notices, directions, consents and waivers required under the terms and provisions of this Certificate Indenture shall be in English and in writing, and any such notice, direction, consent or waiver may be given by United States mail, courier

 This Certificate evidences a fractional undivided beneficial interest in the Underlying Notes (as defined below) of the corresponding class issued by BEC
Funding II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and CEC Funding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and the proceeds thereof, held by a trust or registered assigns, as more fully described herein. The Underlying Notes of a Note Issuer
represent the obligations only of that Note Issuer, and do not represent obligations of any other Note Issuer. 
  
 This Certificate does not represent an interest in or obligation of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Health and Educational Facilities
Authority or the Massachusetts Development Finance Agency (collectively, the “Agencies”), any other governmental agency or instrumentality or Boston Edison Company, a Massachusetts corporation (“Boston Edison”), or Commonwealth
Electric Company, a Massachusetts corporation (“Commonwealth Electric”), or any of their affiliates. None of the Certificate, the Underlying Notes or the underlying Transition Properties (as defined in the Certificate Indenture) will be
guaranteed or insured by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, either of the Agencies,

the Trust (as defined below) or any other governmental agency or instrumentality or by Boston Edison, Commonwealth Electric or their affiliates. 

 
 Neither the full faith and credit nor the taxing power of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts, either of the Agencies or any other governmental agency or instrumentality is pledged to the payment of the principal of, purchase price of, or interest on, this Certificate or the Underlying Note, or to the payments in respect of
the Transition Property, nor are the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, either of the Agencies or any other governmental agency or instrumentality in any manner obligated to make any appropriation for the payment thereof. 
  
 To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein
have the meanings assigned to them in the Certificate Indenture. 
  
 THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company, for value received, is the registered owner of a Principal Amount (stated above) of nonassessable, fully-paid, fractional undivided beneficial interest in the
related Underlying Notes and the proceeds thereof held by Massachusetts RRB Special Purpose Trust 2005-1 (the “Trust”) or registered assigns. The Trust is created pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated as of January 26, 2005 by The Bank
of New York (Delaware), as Delaware Trustee (the “Delaware Trustee”), and the Agencies, acting jointly as settlors thereunder pursuant to Chapter 164 of the Massachusetts Acts of 1997 (the “Statute”). This Certificate is issued
under and is subject to the terms, provisions, and conditions of, a Certificate Indenture dated as of March 1, 2005 (the “Certificate Indenture”), by and among the Delaware Trustee, The Bank of New York, as certificate trustee (the
“Certificate Trustee”), and the Trust, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth below. This Certificate is one of the duly authorized class of Certificates designated as “Massachusetts RRB Special Purpose
Trust 2005-1 Rate Reduction Certificates, Class [    ]” (herein called the “Class [    ] Certificates”). The Class [    ] Certificates are one of a class of Certificates
issued under the Certificate Indenture (such Class [    ] Certificates, together with other Classes of Certificates issued on the date hereof under the Certificate Indenture being herein called the “Certificates”). The
holder of this Certificate (the “Holder”), by virtue of its acceptance hereof, assents and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Certificate Indenture. This Class [    ] Certificate represents a fractional undivided
beneficial interest in the notes of the corresponding class (the “Underlying Notes”) issued by BEC Funding II, LLC, as BEC Note Issuer, and CEC Funding LLC, as CEC Note Issuer, together with the payments on and proceeds of the Underlying
Notes. The Underlying Notes are secured by a security interest in the property right created under the Statute, pursuant to the order of the Massachusetts Department of Telecommunications and Energy, DTE-04-70, issued on January 21, 2005 (the
“Financing Order”), representing the irrevocable right of each of Boston Edison and Commonwealth Electric or their assignees to receive a certain nonbypassable charge (as adjusted from time to time) from certain retail customers of Boston
Edison’s and Commonwealth Electric’s respective distribution systems, together with certain related collateral, all as more fully described in the Note Indentures. 
  
 The aggregate principal amount of all Certificates of all Classes issued under the Certificate Indenture equals the
aggregate principal amount of the Underlying Notes of all Classes of the Note Issuers, and all such Certificates are and will be equally secured by the 

  

 A-2 








 
pledge and covenants made therein, except as otherwise expressly provided or permitted in the Certificate Indenture. 
  
 Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Certificate Indenture,
there will be distributed on each March 15 and September 15 of each year or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on September 15, 2005 to the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date or, if Definitive Certificates are issued, the last day of the immediately preceding calendar month (each, a
“Record Date”), such Holder’s fractional undivided interest in the payments made on the Underlying Notes due on the related Payment Date, the receipt of which has been confirmed by the Certificate Trustee. Subject to and in accordance
with the terms of the Certificate Indenture, in the event that a Special Payment on an Underlying Note is received by the Certificate Trustee, from funds then available to the Certificate Trustee, there will be distributed on the applicable Special
Distribution Date, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date preceding the Special Distribution Date, as applicable, such Holder’s fractional undivided share of such amount. The Special Distribution Date will
be determined as provided in the Certificate Indenture. The Certificate Trustee will mail notice of each Special Payment and the related Special Distribution Date to the Holder as provided in the Certificate Indenture. 
  
 Distributions on this Certificate will be made as provided in the Certificate
Indenture by the Certificate Trustee by wire transfer or check mailed to the Holder of record in the Certificate Register without the presentation or surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation hereon, except that with respect to
Certificates registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such
nominee. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate Indenture and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Certificate Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon
presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office of the Paying Agent or the office or agency maintained for that purpose by the Certificate Trustee in The City of New York. 
  
 Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Certificate Indenture, the Trust has represented and warranted under the
Certificate Indenture that the Trust constitutes a “special purpose trust” and a “financing entity” under Section 1H(a) of the Statute, and that the Certificates constitute “electric rate reduction bonds” under Section
1H(a) of the Statute and that the Holders are entitled to the rights and benefits thereunder. Pursuant to Section 1H(b)(3) of the Statute, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has pledged and agreed with the Note Issuers, the Trust and the Holders (the
“Commonwealth of Massachusetts Pledge”) as follows: 
  
 [T]he [C]ommonwealth [of Massachusetts] does hereby pledge and agree with the owners of the transition property and holders of electric rate reduction bonds that the [C]ommonwealth [of Massachusetts] shall not (i)
alter the provisions of this chapter which make the transition charges imposed by the financing order irrevocable and binding or (ii) limit or alter the reimbursable transition costs amounts, transition property, financing orders, and all rights


  

 A-3 








 
thereunder until the electric rate reduction bonds, together with the interest thereon, are fully met and discharged. 
  
 In addition, the Trust has pledged and agreed with the Note Issuers and the
Holders that it will not act in a manner inconsistent with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Pledge and will not take any action that would impair any rights of any Note Issuer or the Holders in the Notes of any Note Issuer, the Transition Property
of any Note Issuer or the Certificates. 
  
 Reference is hereby
made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
  
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Certificate Trustee
by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Certificate Indenture or any other Basic Document or be valid for any purpose. 
  
 THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DOMESTIC LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT
REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAW. 
  
 Any reduction in the principal amount of any Certificate effected by any distribution in respect of principal thereof shall
be binding upon all Holders of such Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange thereof or in lieu thereof, whether or not noted thereon. 
  
 It is expressly agreed and understood by the parties hereto that (a) this
Certificate is executed by The Bank of New York (Delaware) and authenticated and delivered by The Bank of New York, not individually or personally but solely as Delaware Trustee and Certificate Trustee, respectively, on behalf of the Trust in the
exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in them, (b) the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made by the Delaware Trustee and Certificate Trustee on behalf of the Trust are made and intended not as personal
representations, undertakings and agreements of either trustee, but are made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on The Bank of New York (Delaware) or The
Bank of New York, individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied herein, except in their capacity as Delaware Trustee and Certificate Trustee, respectively, all such liability being expressly waived by all Persons,
and (d) under no circumstances shall The Bank of New York (Delaware) or The Bank of New York be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Trust, or be personally liable for the breach or failure of any obligation,
representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Trust under the Certificate Indenture.

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF
CERTIFICATE] 
  
 The Certificates are limited in right of
payment, all as more specifically set forth on the face hereof and in the Certificate Indenture. All payments or distributions made to Holders under the Certificate Indenture shall be made only from the Trust Property and only to the extent that the
Certificate Trustee shall have sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust Property to make such payments in accordance with the terms of the Certificate Indenture. Each Holder, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the
income and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent available for distribution to such Holder as provided in the Certificate Indenture. Amounts paid to the Holders under the Certificate Indenture shall be allocated to principal on the
Certificates to the extent such amounts represented principal payments on the Underlying Notes and shall be allocated to interest on the Certificates to the extent such amounts represented interest on the Underlying Notes. This Certificate does not
purport to summarize the Certificate Indenture and reference is made to the Certificate Indenture for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby. A copy of the Certificate
Indenture may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Certificate Trustee, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Certificate Trustee, by any Holder upon request. 
  
 The Certificate Indenture permits, with certain exceptions therein provided,
the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights of the Holders under the Certificate Indenture at any time by the Trust and the Certificate Trustee with the consent of the Holders holding Certificates representing not less than a majority
of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Certificates of each affected Class issued by the Trust. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of
any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Certificate Indenture also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates. 
  
 As provided in the Certificate Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for
registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Certificate Trustee in its capacity as Certificate Registrar, or by any successor Certificate Registrar, in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, duly endorsed or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate fractional undivided beneficial interest in the Underlying Note will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
  
 The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in Minimum Denominations of $1,000 Original Principal Amount and integral multiples thereof. As provided in the Certificate Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of
authorized denominations evidencing the 

  

 A-7 








 
same aggregate fractional undivided beneficial interest in the Underlying Notes, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
  
 The holder, by purchase of this certificate, will be deemed to represent
that such purchase will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and, in each case, the rules and regulations
thereunder. 
  
 No service charge will be made for any such
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Certificate Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
  
 The Certificate Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Certificate Trustee or the Certificate Registrar
may treat the person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Certificate Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 

 
 The obligations and responsibilities created by the Certificate Indenture
shall terminate with respect to the Certificates upon the distribution to the Holders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Certificate Indenture and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust Property,
except certain indemnity obligations of the Note Issuers to the Certificate Trustee under the Fee and Indemnity Agreement.
