Administration of the Trust Estate. (a) Whenever the Indenture Trustee, as registered holder of the Pledged Securities, is requested in such capacity, whether by the Issuer, a Bondholder or a party to any Pledged Security Agreement, to take any action or to give any consent, approval or waiver that it is entitled to take or give in such capacity, including, without limitation, in connection with an amendment of any Pledged Security Agreement or the occurrence of a default thereunder, the purchase or workout of any defaulted Mortgage Loan or the replacement of the special servicer in respect of a pool of Mortgage Loans, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer, the Manager and, if applicable, all of the Bondholders or all of the Bondholders of the Controlling Class, as appropriate, of such request in such detail as is available to it and, subject to Section 8(d), shall, on behalf of the Issuer and the Bondholders, take such action in connection with the exercise and/or enforcement of any rights and/or remedies available to it in such capacity with respect to such request as the Issuer (or, if the Overcollateralization Amount is zero or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative) shall direct in writing; provided that if no such direction is received prior to the date that is established for taking such action or giving such consent, approval or waiver (notice of which date shall be given by the Indenture Trustee to the Issuer, the Manager and, if applicable, the Bondholders or the Bondholders of the Controlling Class, as appropriate), the Indenture Trustee shall abstain from taking such action or giving such consent, approval or waiver; and provided, further, that if the Issuer (or, if the Overcollateralization Amount is zero or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative) is authorized pursuant to the applicable Pledged Security Agreement to take any of the actions or give any of the consents, approvals or waivers referred to above, then the Issuer (or, if the Overcollateralization Amount is zero or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative) shall take such actions and/or give such consents, approvals or waivers directly, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to so act or give any of the consents, approvals or waivers specified above; and provided, further, that the Indenture Trustee shall in no event be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in connection with exercising such rights and/or remedies and may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to taking any action at the direction of the Issuer or the Controlling Class Representative; and provided, further, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith at the direction of the Issuer (or, if the Overcollateralization Amount is zero or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative) (or for any action taken directly by such party) in accordance with this Section 8(a); and provided, further, that any amendment to a Pledged Security Agreement shall be agreed to by the Indenture Trustee only with the consent of the Issuer and the Holders of the Bonds representing greater than 50% of the aggregate Principal Amount of the Bonds (or, if such amendment would affect the payment terms of a Pledged Security, only with the consent of the Issuer and all the Bondholders); and, provided, further, that, prior to replacing any special servicer under a Pledged Security Agreement or other servicing agreement, the Issuer or the Controlling Class Representative, as applicable, shall obtain written confirmation from the Rating Agency that such act would not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any then-current rating assigned thereby to the Bonds. If not available through website, fax-back or other electronic form, the Indenture Trustee shall forward to the Issuer, the Manager, the Rating Agency and, upon written request, any Bondholder, on the Payment Date following its receipt thereof (or, in connection with a written request by a Bondholder, at any time thereafter), copies of any and all notices, statements, reports and/or other material communications and information (converted to written form if not already in such form) (collectively, "Pledged Security Reports") that it receives in connection with the Pledged Securities, the Mortgage Loans and Mortgage Participations, and the Pledged Security Agreements and the parties thereto. (b) Except as expressly provided in Articles IV and V of the Standard Indenture Provisions, the Indenture Trustee shall not assign, sell, dispose of or transfer any asset of the Trust Estate or permit any asset of the Trust Estate to be subjected to any lien, claim or encumbrance arising by, through or under the Indenture Trustee or any Person claiming by, through or under the Indenture Trustee; provided that the Indenture Trustee is authorized and obligated to surrender a Pledged Security in accordance with the terms of the related Pledged Security Agreement in connection with receiving the final distribution or payment thereon. (c) For purposes of exercising any rights and/or remedies under any Pledged Security at such time as the Overcollateralization Amount is zero or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Holders of Outstanding Bonds representing greater than 50% of the Aggregate Principal Amount of the Controlling Class of Bonds shall appoint, and shall designate in writing to the Indenture Trustee, a representative (the "Controlling Class Representative"). Bonds held by Interested Persons shall be deemed to be Outstanding for purposes of this Section 8. (d) If the Issuer or any group of Bondholders post collateral pursuant to any Pledged Security Agreement, in connection with exercising the workout and/or foreclosure process with respect to a defaulted Mortgage Loan, then, for so long as the Issuer's or such Bondholders' collateral is at risk, then the Issuer or such Bondholders, as the case may be, shall continue to exercise such right (whether directly or through the Indenture Trustee) in respect of such Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the Overcollateralization Amount has been reduced to zero or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the case of the Issuer, or such Bondholders no longer belong to the Controlling Class, in the case of such Bondholders.

If the Indenture Trustee shall not have received a distribution or payment on any Pledged Security by the close of business on the date on which such distribution or payment was to be received by the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the trustee or other party responsible for effectuating distributions or payments under the related Pledged Security Agreement, and (i) if such distribution or payment shall not have been received by the Indenture Trustee one Business Day following such notice or (ii) a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall gain actual knowledge of any event of default under any Pledged Security Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agency and the Bondholders in writing and such parties shall proceed in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 8.

If a transfer of any Non-Registered Bond which is a Definitive Bond is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance thereof or a transfer thereof by the Issuer or one of its Affiliates), then the Bond Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, it may conclusively rely upon): (i) a certificate from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-1A hereto; or (ii) a certificate from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-1B hereto and a certificate from such Bondholder's prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-2A hereto; or (iii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act (it being understood that the counsel rendering such Opinion of Counsel shall take into consideration, among other things, any posting by the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer, any agent of such Bondholder or any affiliate of such Bondholder or such agent of information relating to the Bonds, the Trust Estate and the Issuer on the Bloomberg Financial Markets system, the Datapoint system or any similar system) (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Estate or of the Issuer, the Manager, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Bond Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or such Bondholder's prospective Transferee on which such Opinion of Counsel is based. If a transfer of any interest in a Non-Registered Bond which is a Book-Entry Bond is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Book-Entry Bonds or a transfer of any interest therein by the Issuer or one of its Affiliates), then the Bond Owner of such Book-Entry Bond desiring to effect such transfer must obtain from such Bond Owner's prospective transferee a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-2B hereto.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of this Bond which is one of a series of commercial mortgage bonds (collectively, the "Bonds") issued by the Issuer referred to above in multiple classes (each, a "Class") pursuant to the Standard Indenture Provisions, dated as of May 8, 1998 (the "Standard Indenture Provisions"), and the Terms Indenture, dated as of May 8, 1998 (the "Terms Indenture"; the Terms Indenture, together with the Standard Indenture Provisions, is hereinafter referred to as the "Indenture") between Owner Trustee referred to above, on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee referred to above, on behalf of the holders of the Bonds (the "Bondholders"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Indenture. This Bond is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Indenture, to which Indenture the Holder of this Bond by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound. The Issuer, a Delaware business trust, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, the principal sum of $62,612,000 no later than June 2033. Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, payments will be made on the Class of Bonds to which this Bond belongs, pro rata among the Bonds of such Class based on their respective Principal Amounts, on the second Business Day following the end of each Collection Period (each, a "Payment Date"), commencing on the first Payment Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Bond is registered at the close of business on the related Record Date. All payments made under the Indenture on this Bond will be made by the Indenture Trustee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Bondholder shall have provided the Indenture Trustee with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent payments), or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such Bondholder as it appears in the Bond Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment on this Bond will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Bond at the offices of the Indenture Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to the Holder hereof of such final payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no payments will be made with respect to a Bond that has previously been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence or, with limited exception, that should have been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence. The Bonds are limited in right of payment to certain distributions on the Pledged Securities, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture, withdrawals from the Bond Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, payments to Bondholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. Any payment to the Holder of this Bond in reduction of the Principal Amount hereof is binding on such Holder and all future Holders of this Bond and any Bond issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such payment is made upon this Bond. The Class of Bonds to which this Bond relates, are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Bond is exchangeable for new Bonds of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same Aggregate Principal Amount, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Bond or interest therein may be made by an investor unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. Initially, this Bond will be held in book-entry form (all such Bonds held from time to time in such form, the "Book-Entry Bonds"). If a transfer of any interest in a Book-Entry Bond is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then the beneficial owner of such Book-Entry Bond desiring to effect such transfer must obtain from such beneficial owner's prospective transferee a certificate substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2B with respect to compliance with the requirements of certain rules and regulations under the Securities Act and the provisions of the Indenture. In addition, in connection with its acquisition of an interest in any Book-Entry Bond, the transferee will be deemed to have made to and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Company and the Indenture Trustee each of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in such certificate to be so delivered to the transferor. Under certain circumstances described herein, this Bond may cease to be held in book-entry form and will be held in fully registered, physical form (all such Bonds held from time to time in such form the "Definitive Bonds"). If a transfer of any Definitive Bond is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then the registrar for the Bonds (the "Bond Registrar", which shall initially be the Indenture Trustee) is required to refuse to register such transfer unless it receives: (i) a certificate from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1A; (ii) a certificate from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1B and a certificate from such Bondholder's prospective transferee substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2A; or (iii) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act (which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Estate (as defined herein) or of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Indenture Trustee or the Bond Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or such Bondholder's prospective transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based. Any investor desiring to effect a transfer of any Bond or interest therein without registration under the Securities Act and registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws will be required to, and by acceptance of its Bonds or interests therein will be deemed to have agreed to, indemnify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Indenture Trustee and the Bond Registrar against any liability that may result if the transfer is not exempt from such registration and/or qualification or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. No transfer of this Bond or any interest herein may be made to a Plan, or to any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Bond or any interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan, unless the party acquiring this Bond or any interest herein provides the transferor of such interest (in the case of an interest in a Book-Entry Bond) or the Bond Registrar (in the case of a Definitive Bond) with a certification generally to the effect that either (A) such transferee is not (i) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3 (3) of ERISA) that is subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or (iii) an entity deemed for any purpose of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code to hold assets of any such employee benefit plan or plan, including, without limitation, as applicable, an insurance company general account (each of (i), (ii) and (iii), a "Plan"), and is not directly or indirectly purchasing such Bonds or interests therein being transferred to it, on behalf of, for the benefit of, or otherwise using assets of a Plan or (B) the purchase and holding of such Bonds or interests therein being transferred to it does not and will not constitute or otherwise result in a non-exempt "prohibited transaction" under, and as defined in, Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, by reason of the application of one or more statutory or administrative exemptions. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Bond is registrable in the Bond Register upon surrender of this Bond for registration of transfer at the offices of the Bond Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Bonds of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same Aggregate Principal Amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Bond, but the Indenture Trustee or the Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of this Bond. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and for so long as this Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Bond shall be made through the book-entry facilities of DTC, and accordingly, this Bond shall constitute a Book-Entry Bond. The Company, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Bond Registrar and any agent thereof may treat the Person in whose name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Company, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Bond Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. The Indenture will be discharged (except with respect to certain continuing rights specified in the Indenture) (a)(1) upon the delivery to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation of all of the Bonds other than Bonds which have been mutilated, lost or stolen and have been replaced or paid and Bonds for which money has been deposited in trust for the full payment thereof (and thereafter repaid to the Issuer and discharged from such trust) as provided in the Indenture or (2) at such time as all Bonds not previously cancelled by the Indenture Trustee have become, or, on the next Payment Date, will become, due and payable or called for redemption and the Issuer shall have deposited with the Indenture Trustee an amount sufficient to repay all of the Bonds and (b) the Issuer shall have paid all other amounts payable under the Indenture. With the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing more than 50% of the Aggregate Principal Amount (or, in the case of a Class of Interest Only Bonds, the aggregate Notional Amount) of each Class of any Series, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may amend the Indenture or enter into one or more indentures supplemental thereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture with respect to such Series or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Bondholders of such Series under the Indenture; provided that no such amendment or supplemental indenture shall result in an Adverse Rating Event in respect of any Class of Bonds of such Series (as confirmed in writing by each applicable Rating Agency); and, provided further, that no such amendment or supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond affected thereby, among other things, (i) change the date of payment of any installment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Bond, or reduce the Principal Amount thereof, the Bond Interest Rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change the provisions of the Indenture relating to the application of payments, collections and/or distributions on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the related Trust Estate to payments of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Bonds or change any place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Bond or the interest or premium, if any, thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the provisions of the Indenture requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article V of the Standard Indenture Provisions, to the payment of any such amount due on any Bond on or after the respective due dates thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date); (ii) reduce the percentage of the Voting Rights for or allocated to, or the percentage of the Aggregate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of, any Class and/or Series, the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or certain defaults thereunder and their consequences provided for in the Indenture; (iii) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the definition of the term "Outstanding"; (iv) reduce the percentage of the Voting Rights allocated to, or the percentage of the Aggregate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of, any Class of any Series, the consent or direction of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required to allow or direct the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 or Section 5.12 of the Standard Indenture Provisions; (v) modify any provision of Section 9.02 of the Standard Indenture Provisions, except to increase any percentage specified herein or to provide that certain additional provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond affected thereby; (vi) modify any of the provisions of the Indenture in such manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest, premium (if any) or principal due on any Bond on any Payment Date (including the calculation of any of the individual components of such calculation) or to affect the rights of the Holders of any Series to the benefit of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of the Bonds of such Series contained therein; or (vii) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of the Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust Estate securing any Series or terminate the lien of the Indenture on any property at any time subject thereto or deprive the Holder of any Bond of the security afforded by the lien of the Indenture, except as otherwise expressly permitted thereby. Provided that no Issuer Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer may, at its option, pursuant to the Indenture redeem this Bond, in whole but not in part, at the Redemption Price therefor, on any Payment Date as of which the Aggregate Principal Amount of such Class is less than 15% of the initial Aggregate Principal Amount thereof and in any event subject to and in accordance with Article X of the Standard Indenture Provisions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer may at any time irrevocably waive its right to redeem this Bond. On any Redemption Date, following the payments to be made on such date pursuant to Section 17(b) of the Terms Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from the Bond Account and, subject to Section 2.07(e) of the Standard Indenture Provisions, pay to the Holders of the Bonds to be redeemed the full Redemption Price therefor. Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Bond Registrar, by manual signature, this Bond shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid for any purpose. This Bond shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in said State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

ACCORDINGLY, THE OUTSTANDING BOND PRINCIPAL AMOUNT HEREOF AT ANY TIME MAY BE LESS THAN THE AMOUNT SHOWN ABOVE. This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of this Bond which is one of a series of commercial mortgage bonds (collectively, the "Bonds") issued by the Issuer referred to above in multiple classes (each, a "Class") pursuant to the Standard Indenture Provisions, dated as of May 8, 1998 (the "Standard Indenture Provisions"), and the Terms Indenture, dated as of May 8, 1998 (the "Terms Indenture"; the Terms Indenture, together with the Standard Indenture Provisions, is hereinafter referred to as the "Indenture") between Owner Trustee referred to above, on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee referred to above, on behalf of the holders of the Bonds (the "Bondholders"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Indenture. This Bond is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Indenture, to which Indenture the Holder of this Bond by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound. The Issuer, a Delaware business trust, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, the principal sum of $[200,000,000] [145,000,000] no later than June 2033. Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, payments will be made on the Class of Bonds to which this Bond belongs, pro rata among the Bonds of such Class based on their respective Principal Amounts, on the second Business Day following the end of each Collection Period (each, a "Payment Date"), commencing on the first Payment Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Bond is registered at the close of business on the related Record Date. All payments made under the Indenture on this Bond will be made by the Indenture Trustee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Bondholder shall have provided the Indenture Trustee with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent payments), or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such Bondholder as it appears in the Bond Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment on this Bond will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Bond at the offices of the Indenture Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to the Holder hereof of such final payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no payments will be made with respect to a Bond that has previously been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence or, with limited exception, that should have been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence. The Bonds are limited in right of payment to certain distributions on the Pledged Securities, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture, withdrawals from the Bond Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, payments to Bondholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. Any payment to the Holder of this Bond in reduction of the Principal Amount hereof is binding on such Holder and all future Holders of this Bond and any Bond issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such payment is made upon this Bond. The Class of Bonds to which this Bond relates, are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Bond is exchangeable for new Bonds of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same Aggregate Principal Amount, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Bond or interest therein may be made by an investor unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. Initially, this Bond will be held in book-entry form (all such Bonds held from time to time in such form, the "Book-Entry Bonds"). If a transfer of any interest in a Book-Entry Bond is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then the beneficial owner of such Book-Entry Bond desiring to effect such transfer must obtain from such beneficial owner's prospective transferee a certificate substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2B with respect to compliance with the requirements of certain rules and regulations under the Securities Act and the provisions of the Indenture. In addition, in connection with its acquisition of an interest in any Book-Entry Bond, the transferee will be deemed to have made to and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Company and the Indenture Trustee each of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in such certificate to be so delivered to the transferor. Under certain circumstances described herein, this Bond may cease to be held in book-entry form and will be held in fully registered, physical form (all such Bonds held from time to time in such form the "Definitive Bonds"). If a transfer of any Definitive Bond is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then the registrar for the Bonds (the "Bond Registrar", which shall initially be the Indenture Trustee) is required to refuse to register such transfer unless it receives: (i) a certificate from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1A; (ii) a certificate from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1B and a certificate from such Bondholder's prospective transferee substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2A; or (iii) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act (which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Estate (as defined herein) or of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Indenture Trustee or the Bond Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or such Bondholder's prospective transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based. Any investor desiring to effect a transfer of any Bond or interest therein without registration under the Securities Act and registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws will be required to, and by acceptance of its Bonds or interests therein will be deemed to have agreed to, indemnify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Indenture Trustee and the Bond Registrar against any liability that may result if the transfer is not exempt from such registration and/or qualification or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. No transfer of this Bond or any interest herein may be made to a Plan, or to any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Bond or any interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan, unless the party acquiring this Bond or any interest herein provides the transferor of such interest (in the case of an interest in a Book-Entry Bond) or the Bond Registrar (in the case of a Definitive Bond) with a certification generally to the effect that either (A) such transferee is not (i) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3 (3) of ERISA) that is subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or (iii) an entity deemed for any purpose of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code to hold assets of any such employee benefit plan or plan, including, without limitation, as applicable, an insurance company general account (each of (i), (ii) and (iii), a "Plan"), and is not directly or indirectly purchasing such Bonds or interests therein being transferred to it, on behalf of, for the benefit of, or otherwise using assets of a Plan or (B) the purchase and holding of such Bonds or interests therein being transferred to it does not and will not constitute or otherwise result in a non-exempt "prohibited transaction" under, and as defined in, Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, by reason of the application of one or more statutory or administrative exemptions. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Bond is registrable in the Bond Register upon surrender of this Bond for registration of transfer at the offices of the Bond Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Bonds of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same Aggregate Principal Amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Bond, but the Indenture Trustee or the Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of this Bond. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and for so long as this Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Bond shall be made through the book-entry facilities of DTC, and accordingly, this Bond shall constitute a Book-Entry Bond. The Company, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Bond Registrar and any agent thereof may treat the Person in whose name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Company, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Bond Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. The Indenture will be discharged (except with respect to certain continuing rights specified in the Indenture) (a)(1) upon the delivery to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation of all of the Bonds other than Bonds which have been mutilated, lost or stolen and have been replaced or paid and Bonds for which money has been deposited in trust for the full payment thereof (and thereafter repaid to the Issuer and discharged from such trust) as provided in the Indenture or (2) at such time as all Bonds not previously cancelled by the Indenture Trustee have become, or, on the next Payment Date, will become, due and payable or called for redemption and the Issuer shall have deposited with the Indenture Trustee an amount sufficient to repay all of the Bonds and (b) the Issuer shall have paid all other amounts payable under the Indenture. With the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing more than 50% of the Aggregate Principal Amount (or, in the case of a Class of Interest Only Bonds, the aggregate Notional Amount) of each Class of any Series, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may amend the Indenture or enter into one or more indentures supplemental thereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture with respect to such Series or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Bondholders of such Series under the Indenture; provided that no such amendment or supplemental indenture shall result in an Adverse Rating Event in respect of any Class of Bonds of such Series (as confirmed in writing by each applicable Rating Agency); and, provided further, that no such amendment or supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond affected thereby, among other things, (i) change the date of payment of any installment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Bond, or reduce the Principal Amount thereof, the Bond Interest Rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change the provisions of the Indenture relating to the application of payments, collections and/or distributions on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the related Trust Estate to payments of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Bonds or change any place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Bond or the interest or premium, if any, thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the provisions of the Indenture requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article V of the Standard Indenture Provisions, to the payment of any such amount due on any Bond on or after the respective due dates thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date); (ii) reduce the percentage of the Voting Rights for or allocated to, or the percentage of the Aggregate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of, any Class and/or Series, the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or certain defaults thereunder and their consequences provided for in the Indenture; (iii) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the definition of the term "Outstanding"; (iv) reduce the percentage of the Voting Rights allocated to, or the percentage of the Aggregate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of, any Class of any Series, the consent or direction of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required to allow or direct the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 or Section 5.12 of the Standard Indenture Provisions; (v) modify any provision of Section 9.02 of the Standard Indenture Provisions, except to increase any percentage specified herein or to provide that certain additional provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond affected thereby; (vi) modify any of the provisions of the Indenture in such manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest, premium (if any) or principal due on any Bond on any Payment Date (including the calculation of any of the individual components of such calculation) or to affect the rights of the Holders of any Series to the benefit of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of the Bonds of such Series contained therein; or (vii) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of the Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust Estate securing any Series or terminate the lien of the Indenture on any property at any time subject thereto or deprive the Holder of any Bond of the security afforded by the lien of the Indenture, except as otherwise expressly permitted thereby. Provided that no Issuer Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer may, at its option, pursuant to the Indenture redeem this Bond, in whole but not in part, at the Redemption Price therefor, on any Payment Date as of which the Aggregate Principal Amount of such Class is less than 15% of the initial Aggregate Principal Amount thereof and in any event subject to and in accordance with Article X of the Standard Indenture Provisions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer may at any time irrevocably waive its right to redeem this Bond. On any Redemption Date, following the payments to be made on such date pursuant to Section 17(b) of the Terms Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from the Bond Account and, subject to Section 2.07(e) of the Standard Indenture Provisions, pay to the Holders of the Bonds to be redeemed the full Redemption Price therefor. This Bond is not subject to optional redemption. Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Bond Registrar, by manual signature, this Bond shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid for any purpose. This Bond shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in said State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of this Bond which is one of a series of commercial mortgage bonds (collectively, the "Bonds") issued by the Issuer referred to above in multiple classes (each, a "Class") pursuant to the Standard Indenture Provisions, dated as of May 8, 1998 (the "Standard Indenture Provisions"), and the Terms Indenture, dated as of May 8, 1998 (the "Terms Indenture"; the Terms Indenture, together with the Standard Indenture Provisions, is hereinafter referred to as the "Indenture") between Owner Trustee referred to above, on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee referred to above, on behalf of the holders of the Bonds (the "Bondholders"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Indenture. This Bond is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Indenture, to which Indenture the Holder of this Bond by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound. The Issuer, a Delaware business trust, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, the principal sum of $150,639,000 no later than June 2033. Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, payments will be made on the Class of Bonds to which this Bond belongs, pro rata among the Bonds of such Class based on their respective Principal Amounts, on the second Business Day following the end of each Collection Period (each, a "Payment Date"), commencing on the first Payment Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Bond is registered at the close of business on the related Record Date. All payments made under the Indenture on this Bond will be made by the Indenture Trustee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Bondholder shall have provided the Indenture Trustee with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent payments), or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such Bondholder as it appears in the Bond Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment on this Bond will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Bond at the offices of the Indenture Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to the Holder hereof of such final payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no payments will be made with respect to a Bond that has previously been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence or, with limited exception, that should have been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence. The Bonds are limited in right of payment to certain distributions on the Pledged Securities, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture, withdrawals from the Bond Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, payments to Bondholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. Any payment to the Holder of this Bond in reduction of the Principal Amount hereof is binding on such Holder and all future Holders of this Bond and any Bond issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such payment is made upon this Bond. The Class of Bonds to which this Bond relates, are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Bond is exchangeable for new Bonds of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same Aggregate Principal Amount, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Bond or interest therein may be made by an investor unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. Initially, this Bond will be held in book-entry form (all such Bonds held from time to time in such form, the "Book-Entry Bonds"). If a transfer of any interest in a Book-Entry Bond is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then the beneficial owner of such Book-Entry Bond desiring to effect such transfer must obtain from such beneficial owner's prospective transferee a certificate substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2B with respect to compliance with the requirements of certain rules and regulations under the Securities Act and the provisions of the Indenture. In addition, in connection with its acquisition of an interest in any Book-Entry Bond, the transferee will be deemed to have made to and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Company and the Indenture Trustee each of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in such certificate to be so delivered to the transferor. Under certain circumstances described herein, this Bond may cease to be held in book-entry form and will be held in fully registered, physical form (all such Bonds held from time to time in such form the "Definitive Bonds"). If a transfer of any Definitive Bond is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then the registrar for the Bonds (the "Bond Registrar", which shall initially be the Indenture Trustee) is required to refuse to register such transfer unless it receives: (i) a certificate from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1A; (ii) a certificate from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1B and a certificate from such Bondholder's prospective transferee substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2A; or (iii) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act (which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Estate (as defined herein) or of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Indenture Trustee or the Bond Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or such Bondholder's prospective transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based. Any investor desiring to effect a transfer of any Bond or interest therein without registration under the Securities Act and registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws will be required to, and by acceptance of its Bonds or interests therein will be deemed to have agreed to, indemnify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Indenture Trustee and the Bond Registrar against any liability that may result if the transfer is not exempt from such registration and/or qualification or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. No transfer of this Bond or any interest herein may be made to a Plan, or to any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Bond or any interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan, unless the party acquiring this Bond or any interest herein provides the transferor of such interest (in the case of an interest in a Book-Entry Bond) or the Bond Registrar (in the case of a Definitive Bond) with a certification generally to the effect that either (A) such transferee is not (i) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3 (3) of ERISA) that is subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or (iii) an entity deemed for any purpose of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code to hold assets of any such employee benefit plan or plan, including, without limitation, as applicable, an insurance company general account (each of (i), (ii) and (iii), a "Plan"), and is not directly or indirectly purchasing such Bonds or interests therein being transferred to it, on behalf of, for the benefit of, or otherwise using assets of a Plan or (B) the purchase and holding of such Bonds or interests therein being transferred to it does not and will not constitute or otherwise result in a non-exempt "prohibited transaction" under, and as defined in, Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, by reason of the application of one or more statutory or administrative exemptions. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Bond is registrable in the Bond Register upon surrender of this Bond for registration of transfer at the offices of the Bond Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Bonds of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same Aggregate Principal Amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Bond, but the Indenture Trustee or the Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of this Bond. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and for so long as this Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Bond shall be made through the book-entry facilities of DTC, and accordingly, this Bond shall constitute a Book-Entry Bond. The Company, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Bond Registrar and any agent thereof may treat the Person in whose name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Company, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Bond Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. The Indenture will be discharged (except with respect to certain continuing rights specified in the Indenture) (a)(1) upon the delivery to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation of all of the Bonds other than Bonds which have been mutilated, lost or stolen and have been replaced or paid and Bonds for which money has been deposited in trust for the full payment thereof (and thereafter repaid to the Issuer and discharged from such trust) as provided in the Indenture or (2) at such time as all Bonds not previously cancelled by the Indenture Trustee have become, or, on the next Payment Date, will become, due and payable or called for redemption and the Issuer shall have deposited with the Indenture Trustee an amount sufficient to repay all of the Bonds and (b) the Issuer shall have paid all other amounts payable under the Indenture. With the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing more than 50% of the Aggregate Principal Amount (or, in the case of a Class of Interest Only Bonds, the aggregate Notional Amount) of each Class of any Series, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may amend the Indenture or enter into one or more indentures supplemental thereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture with respect to such Series or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Bondholders of such Series under the Indenture; provided that no such amendment or supplemental indenture shall result in an Adverse Rating Event in respect of any Class of Bonds of such Series (as confirmed in writing by each applicable Rating Agency); and, provided further, that no such amendment or supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond affected thereby, among other things, (i) change the date of payment of any installment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Bond, or reduce the Principal Amount thereof, the Bond Interest Rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change the provisions of the Indenture relating to the application of payments, collections and/or distributions on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the related Trust Estate to payments of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Bonds or change any place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Bond or the interest or premium, if any, thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the provisions of the Indenture requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article V of the Standard Indenture Provisions, to the payment of any such amount due on any Bond on or after the respective due dates thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date); (ii) reduce the percentage of the Voting Rights for or allocated to, or the percentage of the Aggregate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of, any Class and/or Series, the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or certain defaults thereunder and their consequences provided for in the Indenture; (iii) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the definition of the term "Outstanding"; (iv) reduce the percentage of the Voting Rights allocated to, or the percentage of the Aggregate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of, any Class of any Series, the consent or direction of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required to allow or direct the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 or Section 5.12 of the Standard Indenture Provisions; (v) modify any provision of Section 9.02 of the Standard Indenture Provisions, except to increase any percentage specified herein or to provide that certain additional provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond affected thereby; (vi) modify any of the provisions of the Indenture in such manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest, premium (if any) or principal due on any Bond on any Payment Date (including the calculation of any of the individual components of such calculation) or to affect the rights of the Holders of any Series to the benefit of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of the Bonds of such Series contained therein; or (vii) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of the Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust Estate securing any Series or terminate the lien of the Indenture on any property at any time subject thereto or deprive the Holder of any Bond of the security afforded by the lien of the Indenture, except as otherwise expressly permitted thereby. Provided that no Issuer Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer may, at its option, pursuant to the Indenture redeem this Bond, in whole but not in part, at the Redemption Price therefor, on any Payment Date as of which the Aggregate Principal Amount of such Class is less than 15% of the initial Aggregate Principal Amount thereof and in any event subject to and in accordance with Article X of the Standard Indenture Provisions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer may at any time irrevocably waive its right to redeem this Bond. On any Redemption Date, following the payments to be made on such date pursuant to Section 17(b) of the Terms Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from the Bond Account and, subject to Section 2.07(e) of the Standard Indenture Provisions, pay to the Holders of the Bonds to be redeemed the full Redemption Price therefor.

BECAUSE THE TRUST ESTATE SECURING THIS BOND AND OTHER BONDS OF THE SAME SERIES HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED AS AN INVESTMENT COMPANY UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED (THE "INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT"), THIS BOND IS SUBJECT TO FURTHER TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS ASSOCIATED THEREWITH. THIS BOND REPRESENTS AN OBLIGATION OF THE ISSUER AND WILL BE PAID SOLELY FROM THE COLLATERAL SECURING THIS BOND. NEITHER THIS BOND NOR THE COLLATERAL THEREFOR IS INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY ANY GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OR BY ANY OTHER PERSON.

PAYMENTS IN REDUCTION OF THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THIS BOND MAY BE MADE MONTHLY AS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO HEREIN. ACCORDINGLY, THE OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL AMOUNT HEREOF AT ANY TIME MAY BE LESS THAN THE AMOUNT SHOWN ABOVE. This certifies that is the registered owner (the ---------------------- "Holder") of this Bond which is one of a series of commercial mortgage bonds (collectively, the "Bonds") issued by the Issuer referred to above in multiple classes (each, a "Class") pursuant to the Standard Indenture Provisions, dated as of May 8, 1998 (the "Standard Indenture Provisions"), and the Terms Indenture, dated as of May 8, 1998 (the "Terms Indenture"; the Terms Indenture, together with the Standard Indenture Provisions, is hereinafter referred to as the "Indenture") between Owner Trustee referred to above, on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee referred to above, on behalf of the holders of the Bonds (the "Bondholders"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Indenture. This Bond is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Indenture, to which Indenture the Holder of this Bond by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound. The Issuer, a Delaware business trust, for value received, hereby promises to pay to the Holder hereof or registered assigns the principal sum of $ no later than June 2033. --------------------- Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, payments will be made on the Class of Bonds to which this Bond belongs, pro rata among the Bonds of such Class based on their respective Principal Amounts, on the second Business Day following the end of each Collection Period (each, a "Payment Date"), commencing on the first Payment Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Bond is registered at the close of business on the related Record Date. All payments made under the Indenture on this Bond will be made by the Indenture Trustee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Bondholder shall have provided the Indenture Trustee with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent payments) or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such Bondholder as it appears in the Bond Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment on this Bond will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Bond at the offices of the Indenture Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to the Holder hereof of such final payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no payments will be made with respect to a Bond that has previously been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence or, with limited exception, that should have been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence. The Bonds are limited in right of payment to certain distributions on the Pledged Securities, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture, withdrawals from the Bond Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, payments to Bondholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. Any payment to the Holder of this Bond in reduction of the Principal Amount hereof is binding on such Holder and all future Holders of this Bond and any Bond issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such payment is made upon this Bond. The Class of Bonds to which this Bond relates, are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Bond is exchangeable for new Bonds of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same Aggregate Principal Amount, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Bond or interest therein may be made by an investor unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. Initially, this Bond will be held in book-entry form (all such Bonds held from time to time in such form, the "Book-Entry Bonds"). If a transfer of any interest in a Book-Entry Bond is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then the beneficial owner of such Book-Entry Bond desiring to effect such transfer must obtain from such beneficial owner's prospective transferee a certificate substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2B with respect to compliance with the requirements of certain rules and regulations under the Securities Act and the provisions of the Indenture. In addition, in connection with its acquisition of an interest in any Book-Entry Bond, the transferee will be deemed to have made to and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Company and the Indenture Trustee each of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in such certificate to be so delivered to the transferor. Under certain circumstances described herein, this Bond may cease to be held in book-entry form and will be held in fully registered, physical form (all such Bonds held from time to time in such form the "Definitive Bonds"). If a transfer of any Definitive Bond is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then the registrar for the Bonds (the "Bond Registrar", which shall initially be the Indenture Trustee) is required to refuse to register such transfer unless it receives: (i) a certificate from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1A; (ii) a certificate from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1B and a certificate from such Bondholder's prospective transferee substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2A; or (iii) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act (which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Estate (as defined herein) or of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Indenture Trustee or the Bond Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or such Bondholder's prospective transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based. Any investor desiring to effect a transfer of any Bond or interest therein without registration under the Securities Act and registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws will be required to, and by acceptance of its Bonds or interests therein will be deemed to have agreed to, indemnify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Indenture Trustee and the Bond Registrar against any liability that may result if the transfer is not exempt from such registration and/or qualification or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. The Trust Estate has not been registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, and no transfer of this Bond shall be made to any Person other than an Affiliate of the Issuer, a QIB or an Institutional Accredited Investor. If any such transfer of this Bond is to be made, then the Indenture Trustee shall require, in order to assure compliance with the foregoing, unless the transferee is an Affiliate of the Issuer or unless a transferor certification in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1A or a transferee certification in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2A has already been delivered pursuant to Section 14 of the Terms Indenture, that the prospective transferee of this Bond certify in writing that it is a QIB or an Institutional Accredited Investor. No transfer of this Bond or any interest herein shall be made to a Plan, or to any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Bond or any interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan, unless the prospective Transferee of this Bond or any interest herein provides the Bond Registrar (in the case of a Definitive Bond) or the Bond Owner (in the case of a Book-Entry Bond) with a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel which establish to the satisfaction of the Indenture Trustee (in the case of a Definitive Bond) or the Bond Owner (in the case of a Book-Entry Bond) that the purchase and holding of this Bond or any interest herein will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Bond Registrar or the Indenture Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture. Each Person who acquires this Bond or any interest herein (unless it shall have delivered to the Bond Registrar a certification of facts and Opinion of Counsel as described in the preceding paragraph) shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Bond Registrar and the Indenture Trustee that either: (i) it is neither a Plan nor any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Bond or any interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan; or (ii) the purchase and holding of this Bond or any interest herein by or on behalf of, or with assets of, such Person will not result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code (and, will not subject the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Bond Registrar or the Indenture Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture). As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Bond is registrable in the Bond Register upon surrender of this Bond for registration of transfer at the offices of the Bond Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Bonds of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same Aggregate Principal Amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Bond, but the Indenture Trustee or the Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of this Bond. The Company, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Bond Registrar and any agent thereof may treat the Person in whose name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Company, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Bond Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. The Indenture will be discharged (except with respect to certain continuing rights specified in the Indenture) (a)(1) upon the delivery to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation of all of the Bonds other than Bonds which have been mutilated, lost or stolen and have been replaced or paid and Bonds for which money has been deposited in trust for the full payment thereof (and thereafter repaid to the Issuer and discharged from such trust) as provided in the Indenture or (2) at such time as all Bonds not previously cancelled by the Indenture Trustee have become, or, on the next Payment Date, will become, due and payable or called for redemption and the Issuer shall have deposited with the Indenture Trustee an amount sufficient to repay all of the Bonds and (b) the Issuer shall have paid all other amounts payable under the Indenture. With the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing more than 50% of the Aggregate Principal Amount (or, in the case of a Class of Interest Only Bonds, the aggregate Notional Amount) of each Class of any Series, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may amend the Indenture or enter into one or more indentures supplemental thereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture with respect to such Series or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Bondholders of such Series under the Indenture; provided that no such amendment or supplemental indenture shall result in an Adverse Rating Event in respect of any Class of Bonds of such Series (as confirmed in writing by each applicable Rating Agency); and, provided further, that no such amendment or supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond affected thereby, among other things, (i) change the date of payment of any installment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Bond, or reduce the Principal Amount thereof, the Bond Interest Rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change the provisions of the Indenture relating to the application of payments, collections and/or distributions on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the related Trust Estate to payments of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Bonds or change any place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Bond or the interest or premium, if any, thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the provisions of the Indenture requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article V of the Standard Indenture Provisions, to the payment of any such amount due on any Bond on or after the respective due dates thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date); (ii) reduce the percentage of the Voting Rights for or allocated to, or the percentage of the Aggregate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of, any Class and/or Series, the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or certain defaults thereunder and their consequences provided for in the Indenture; (iii) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the definition of the term "Outstanding"; (iv) reduce the percentage of the Voting Rights allocated to, or the percentage of the Aggregate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of, any Class of any Series, the consent or direction of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required to allow or direct the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 or Section 5.12 of the Standard Indenture Provisions; (v) modify any provision of Section 9.02 of the Standard Indenture Provisions, except to increase any percentage specified herein or to provide that certain additional provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond affected thereby; (vi) modify any of the provisions of the Indenture in such manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest, premium (if any) or principal due on any Bond on any Payment Date (including the calculation of any of the individual components of such calculation) or to affect the rights of the Holders of any Series to the benefit of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of the Bonds of such Series contained therein; or (vii) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of the Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust Estate securing any Series or terminate the lien of the Indenture on any property at any time subject thereto or deprive the Holder of any Bond of the security afforded by the lien of the Indenture, except as otherwise expressly permitted thereby.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer may at any time irrevocably waive its right to redeem this Bond.

All payments made under the Indenture on this Bond will be made by the Indenture Trustee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Bondholder shall have provided the Indenture Trustee with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent payments), or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such Bondholder as it appears in the Bond Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment on this Bond will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Bond at the offices of the Indenture Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to the Holder hereof of such final payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no payments will be made with respect to a Bond that has previously been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence or, with limited exception, that should have been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence. The Bonds are limited in right of payment to certain distributions on the Pledged Securities, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture, withdrawals from the Bond Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, payments to Bondholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. Any payment to the Holder of this Bond in reduction of the Principal Amount hereof is binding on such Holder and all future Holders of this Bond and any Bond issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such payment is made upon this Bond. The Class of Bonds to which this Bond relates, are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Bond is exchangeable for new Bonds of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same Aggregate Principal Amount, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Bond or interest therein may be made by an investor unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. Initially, this Bond will be held in book-entry form (all such Bonds held from time to time in such form, the "Book-Entry Bonds"). If a transfer of any interest in a Book-Entry Bond is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then the beneficial owner of such Book-Entry Bond desiring to effect such transfer must obtain from such beneficial owner's prospective transferee a certificate substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2B with respect to compliance with the requirements of certain rules and regulations under the Securities Act and the provisions of the Indenture. In addition, in connection with its acquisition of an interest in any Book-Entry Bond, the transferee will be deemed to have made to and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Company and the Indenture Trustee each of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in such certificate to be so delivered to the transferor. Under certain circumstances described herein, this Bond may cease to be held in book-entry form and will be held in fully registered, physical form (all such Bonds held from time to time in such form the "Definitive Bonds"). If a transfer of any Definitive Bond is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then the registrar for the Bonds (the "Bond Registrar", which shall initially be the Indenture Trustee) is required to refuse to register such transfer unless it receives: (i) a certificate from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1A; (ii) a certificate from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1B and a certificate from such Bondholder's prospective transferee substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2A; or (iii) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act (which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Estate (as defined herein) or of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Indenture Trustee or the Bond Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or such Bondholder's prospective transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based. Any investor desiring to effect a transfer of any Bond or interest therein without registration under the Securities Act and registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws will be required to, and by acceptance of its Bonds or interests therein will be deemed to have agreed to, indemnify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Indenture Trustee and the Bond Registrar against any liability that may result if the transfer is not exempt from such registration and/or qualification or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. The Trust Estate has not been registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, and no transfer of this Bond shall be made to any Person other than an Affiliate of the Issuer, a QIB or an Institutional Accredited Investor. If any such transfer of this Bond is to be made, then the Indenture Trustee shall require, in order to assure compliance with the foregoing, unless the transferee is an Affiliate of the Issuer or unless a transferor certification in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1A or a transferee certification in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2A has already been delivered pursuant to Section 14 of the Terms Indenture, that the prospective transferee of this Bond certify in writing that it is a QIB or an Institutional Accredited Investor. No transfer of this Bond or any interest herein shall be made to a Plan, or to any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Bond or any interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan, unless the prospective Transferee of this Bond or any interest herein provides the Bond Registrar (in the case of a Definitive Bond) or the Bond Owner (in the case of a Book-Entry Bond) with a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel which establish to the satisfaction of the Indenture Trustee (in the case of a Definitive Bond) or the Bond Owner (in the case of a Book-Entry Bond) that the purchase and holding of this Bond or any interest herein will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Bond Registrar or the Indenture Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture. Each Person who acquires this Bond or any interest herein (unless it shall have delivered to the Bond Registrar a certification of facts and Opinion of Counsel as described in the preceding paragraph) shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Bond Registrar and the Indenture Trustee that either: (i) it is neither a Plan nor any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Bond or any interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan; or (ii) the purchase and holding of this Bond or any interest herein by or on behalf of, or with assets of, such Person will not result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code (and, will not subject the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Bond Registrar or the Indenture Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture). As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Bond is registrable in the Bond Register upon surrender of this Bond for registration of transfer at the offices of the Bond Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Bonds of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same Aggregate Principal Amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Bond, but the Indenture Trustee or the Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of this Bond. The Company, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Bond Registrar and any agent thereof may treat the Person in whose name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Company, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Bond Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. The Indenture will be discharged (except with respect to certain continuing rights specified in the Indenture) (a)(1) upon the delivery to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation of all of the Bonds other than Bonds which have been mutilated, lost or stolen and have been replaced or paid and Bonds for which money has been deposited in trust for the full payment thereof (and thereafter repaid to the Issuer and discharged from such trust) as provided in the Indenture or (2) at such time as all Bonds not previously cancelled by the Indenture Trustee have become, or, on the next Payment Date, will become, due and payable or called for redemption and the Issuer shall have deposited with the Indenture Trustee an amount sufficient to repay all of the Bonds and (b) the Issuer shall have paid all other amounts payable under the Indenture. With the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing more than 50% of the Aggregate Principal Amount (or, in the case of a Class of Interest Only Bonds, the aggregate Notional Amount) of each Class of any Series, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may amend the Indenture or enter into one or more indentures supplemental thereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture with respect to such Series or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Bondholders of such Series under the Indenture; provided that no such amendment or supplemental indenture shall result in an Adverse Rating Event in respect of any Class of Bonds of such Series (as confirmed in writing by each applicable Rating Agency); and, provided further, that no such amendment or supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond affected thereby, among other things, (i) change the date of payment of any installment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Bond, or reduce the Principal Amount thereof, the Bond Interest Rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change the provisions of the Indenture relating to the application of payments, collections and/or distributions on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the related Trust Estate to payments of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Bonds or change any place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Bond or the interest or premium, if any, thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the provisions of the Indenture requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article V of the Standard Indenture Provisions, to the payment of any such amount due on any Bond on or after the respective due dates thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date); (ii) reduce the percentage of the Voting Rights for or allocated to, or the percentage of the Aggregate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of, any Class and/or Series, the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or certain defaults thereunder and their consequences provided for in the Indenture; (iii) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the definition of the term "Outstanding"; (iv) reduce the percentage of the Voting Rights allocated to, or the percentage of the Aggregate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of, any Class of any Series, the consent or direction of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required to allow or direct the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 or Section 5.12 of the Standard Indenture Provisions; (v) modify any provision of Section 9.02 of the Standard Indenture Provisions, except to increase any percentage specified herein or to provide that certain additional provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond affected thereby; (vi) modify any of the provisions of the Indenture in such manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest, premium (if any) or principal due on any Bond on any Payment Date (including the calculation of any of the individual components of such calculation) or to affect the rights of the Holders of any Series to the benefit of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of the Bonds of such Series contained therein; or (vii) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of the Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust Estate securing any Series or terminate the lien of the Indenture on any property at any time subject thereto or deprive the Holder of any Bond of the security afforded by the lien of the Indenture, except as otherwise expressly permitted thereby. Provided that no Issuer Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer may, at its option, pursuant to the Indenture redeem this Bond, in whole but not in part, at the Redemption Price therefor, on any Payment Date as of which the Aggregate Principal Amount of such Class is less than 15% of the initial Aggregate Principal Amount thereof and in any event subject to and in accordance with Article X of the Standard Indenture Provisions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer may at any time irrevocably waive its right to redeem this Bond. On any Redemption Date, following the payments to be made on such date pursuant to Section 17(b) of the Terms Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from the Bond Account and, subject to Section 2.07(e) of the Standard Indenture Provisions, pay to the Holders of the Bonds to be redeemed the full Redemption Price therefor.

This Bond shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in said State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Indenture. This Bond is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Indenture, to which Indenture the Holder of this Bond by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

All payments made under the Indenture on this Bond will be made by the Indenture Trustee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Bondholder shall have provided the Indenture Trustee with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent payments), or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such Bondholder as it appears in the Bond Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment on this Bond will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Bond at the offices of the Indenture Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to the Holder hereof of such final payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no payments will be made with respect to a Bond that has previously been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence or, with limited exception, that should have been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence. The Bonds are limited in right of payment to certain distributions on the Pledged Securities, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture, withdrawals from the Bond Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, payments to Bondholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. Any payment to the Holder of this Bond in reduction of the Principal Amount hereof is binding on such Holder and all future Holders of this Bond and any Bond issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such payment is made upon this Bond. The Class of Bonds to which this Bond relates, are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Bond is exchangeable for new Bonds of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same Aggregate Principal Amount, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Bond or interest therein may be made by an investor unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. Initially, this Bond will be held in book-entry form (all such Bonds held from time to time in such form, the "Book-Entry Bonds"). If a transfer of any interest in a Book-Entry Bond is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then the beneficial owner of such Book-Entry Bond desiring to effect such transfer must obtain from such beneficial owner's prospective transferee a certificate substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2B with respect to compliance with the requirements of certain rules and regulations under the Securities Act and the provisions of the Indenture.

Under certain circumstances described herein, this Bond may cease to be held in book-entry form and will be held in fully registered, physical form (all such Bonds held from time to time in such form the "Definitive Bonds").

Any investor desiring to effect a transfer of any Bond or interest therein without registration under the Securities Act and registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws will be required to, and by acceptance of its Bonds or interests therein will be deemed to have agreed to, indemnify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Indenture Trustee and the Bond Registrar against any liability that may result if the transfer is not exempt from such registration and/or qualification or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. The Trust Estate has not been registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, and no transfer of this Bond shall be made to any Person other than an Affiliate of the Issuer, a QIB or an Institutional Accredited Investor. If any such transfer of this Bond is to be made, then the Indenture Trustee shall require, in order to assure compliance with the foregoing, unless the transferee is an Affiliate of the Issuer or unless a transferor certification in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1A or a transferee certification in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2A has already been delivered pursuant to Section 14 of the Terms Indenture, that the prospective transferee of this Bond certify in writing that it is a QIB or an Institutional Accredited Investor. No transfer of this Bond or any interest herein shall be made to a Plan, or to any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Bond or any interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan, unless the prospective Transferee of this Bond or any interest herein provides the Bond Registrar (in the case of a Definitive Bond) or the Bond Owner (in the case of a Book-Entry Bond) with a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel which establish to the satisfaction of the Indenture Trustee (in the case of a Definitive Bond) or the Bond Owner (in the case of a Book-Entry Bond) that the purchase and holding of this Bond or any interest herein will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Bond Registrar or the Indenture Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture. Each Person who acquires this Bond or any interest herein (unless it shall have delivered to the Bond Registrar a certification of facts and Opinion of Counsel as described in the preceding paragraph) shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Bond Registrar and the Indenture Trustee that either: (i) it is neither a Plan nor any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Bond or any interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan; or (ii) the purchase and holding of this Bond or any interest herein by or on behalf of, or with assets of, such Person will not result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code (and, will not subject the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Bond Registrar or the Indenture Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture). As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Bond is registrable in the Bond Register upon surrender of this Bond for registration of transfer at the offices of the Bond Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Bonds of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same Aggregate Principal Amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Bond, but the Indenture Trustee or the Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of this Bond.

ACCORDINGLY, THE OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL AMOUNT HEREOF AT ANY TIME MAY BE LESS THAN THE AMOUNT SHOWN ABOVE. This certifies that is the registered owner (the --------------------- "Holder") of this Bond which is one of a series of commercial mortgage bonds (collectively, the "Bonds") issued by the Issuer referred to above in multiple classes (each, a "Class") pursuant to the Standard Indenture Provisions, dated as of May 8, 1998 (the "Standard Indenture Provisions"), and the Terms Indenture, dated as of May 8, 1998 (the "Terms Indenture"; the Terms Indenture, together with the Standard Indenture Provisions, is hereinafter referred to as the "Indenture") between Owner Trustee referred to above, on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee referred to above, on behalf of the holders of the Bonds (the "Bondholders"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Indenture. This Bond is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Indenture, to which Indenture the Holder of this Bond by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound. The Issuer, a Delaware business trust, for value received, hereby promises to pay to the Holder hereof or registered assigns the principal sum of $_____________ no later than June 2033. Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, payments will be made on the Class of Bonds to which this Bond belongs, pro rata among the Bonds of such Class based on their respective Principal Amounts, on the second Business Day following the end of each Collection Period (each, a "Payment Date"), commencing on the first Payment Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Bond is registered at the close of business on the related Record Date. All payments made under the Indenture on this Bond will be made by the Indenture Trustee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Bondholder shall have provided the Indenture Trustee with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent payments), or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such Bondholder as it appears in the Bond Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment on this Bond will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Bond at the offices of the Indenture Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to the Holder hereof of such final payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no payments will be made with respect to a Bond that has previously been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence or, with limited exception, that should have been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence. The Bonds are limited in right of payment to certain distributions on the Pledged Securities, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture, withdrawals from the Bond Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, payments to Bondholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. Any payment to the Holder of this Bond in reduction of the Principal Amount hereof is binding on such Holder and all future Holders of this Bond and any Bond issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such payment is made upon this Bond. The Class of Bonds to which this Bond relates, are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Bond is exchangeable for new Bonds of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same Aggregate Principal Amount, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Bond or interest therein may be made by an investor unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. Initially, this Bond will be held in book-entry form (all such Bonds held from time to time in such form, the "Book-Entry Bonds"). If a transfer of any interest in a Book-Entry Bond is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then the beneficial owner of such Book-Entry Bond desiring to effect such transfer must obtain from such beneficial owner's prospective transferee a certificate substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2B with respect to compliance with the requirements of certain rules and regulations under the Securities Act and the provisions of the Indenture. In addition, in connection with its acquisition of an interest in any Book-Entry Bond, the transferee will be deemed to have made to and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Company and the Indenture Trustee each of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in such certificate to be so delivered to the transferor. Under certain circumstances described herein, this Bond may cease to be held in book-entry form and will be held in fully registered, physical form (all such Bonds held from time to time in such form the "Definitive Bonds"). If a transfer of any Definitive Bond is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then the registrar for the Bonds (the "Bond Registrar", which shall initially be the Indenture Trustee) is required to refuse to register such transfer unless it receives: (i) a certificate from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1A; (ii) a certificate from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1B and a certificate from such Bondholder's prospective transferee substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2A; or (iii) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act (which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Estate (as defined herein) or of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Indenture Trustee or the Bond Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or such Bondholder's prospective transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based. Any investor desiring to effect a transfer of any Bond or interest therein without registration under the Securities Act and registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws will be required to, and by acceptance of its Bonds or interests therein will be deemed to have agreed to, indemnify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Indenture Trustee and the Bond Registrar against any liability that may result if the transfer is not exempt from such registration and/or qualification or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. The Trust Estate has not been registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, and no transfer of this Bond shall be made to any Person other than an Affiliate of the Issuer, a QIB or an Institutional Accredited Investor. If any such transfer of this Bond is to be made, then the Indenture Trustee shall require, in order to assure compliance with the foregoing, unless the transferee is an Affiliate of the Issuer or unless a transferor certification in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1A or a transferee certification in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2A has already been delivered pursuant to Section 14 of the Terms Indenture, that the prospective transferee of this Bond certify in writing that it is a QIB or an Institutional Accredited Investor. No transfer of this Bond or any interest herein shall be made to a Plan, or to any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Bond or any interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan, unless the prospective Transferee of this Bond or any interest herein provides the Bond Registrar (in the case of a Definitive Bond) or the Bond Owner (in the case of a Book-Entry Bond) with a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel which establish to the satisfaction of the Indenture Trustee (in the case of a Definitive Bond) or the Bond Owner (in the case of a Book-Entry Bond) that the purchase and holding of this Bond or any interest herein will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Bond Registrar or the Indenture Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture. Each Person who acquires this Bond or any interest herein (unless it shall have delivered to the Bond Registrar a certification of facts and Opinion of Counsel as described in the preceding paragraph) shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Bond Registrar and the Indenture Trustee that either: (i) it is neither a Plan nor any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Bond or any interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan; or (ii) the purchase and holding of this Bond or any interest herein by or on behalf of, or with assets of, such Person will not result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code (and, will not subject the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Bond Registrar or the Indenture Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture). As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Bond is registrable in the Bond Register upon surrender of this Bond for registration of transfer at the offices of the Bond Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Bonds of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same Aggregate Principal Amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Bond, but the Indenture Trustee or the Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of this Bond. The Company, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Bond Registrar and any agent thereof may treat the Person in whose name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Company, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Bond Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. The Indenture will be discharged (except with respect to certain continuing rights specified in the Indenture) (a)(1) upon the delivery to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation of all of the Bonds other than Bonds which have been mutilated, lost or stolen and have been replaced or paid and Bonds for which money has been deposited in trust for the full payment thereof (and thereafter repaid to the Issuer and discharged from such trust) as provided in the Indenture or (2) at such time as all Bonds not previously cancelled by the Indenture Trustee have become, or, on the next Payment Date, will become, due and payable or called for redemption and the Issuer shall have deposited with the Indenture Trustee an amount sufficient to repay all of the Bonds and (b) the Issuer shall have paid all other amounts payable under the Indenture. With the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing more than 50% of the Aggregate Principal Amount (or, in the case of a Class of Interest Only Bonds, the aggregate Notional Amount) of each Class of any Series, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may amend the Indenture or enter into one or more indentures supplemental thereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture with respect to such Series or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Bondholders of such Series under the Indenture; provided that no such amendment or supplemental indenture shall result in an Adverse Rating Event in respect of any Class of Bonds of such Series (as confirmed in writing by each applicable Rating Agency); and, provided further, that no such amendment or supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond affected thereby, among other things, (i) change the date of payment of any installment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Bond, or reduce the Principal Amount thereof, the Bond Interest Rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change the provisions of the Indenture relating to the application of payments, collections and/or distributions on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the related Trust Estate to payments of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Bonds or change any place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Bond or the interest or premium, if any, thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the provisions of the Indenture requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article V of the Standard Indenture Provisions, to the payment of any such amount due on any Bond on or after the respective due dates thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date); (ii) reduce the percentage of the Voting Rights for or allocated to, or the percentage of the Aggregate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of, any Class and/or Series, the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or certain defaults thereunder and their consequences provided for in the Indenture; (iii) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the definition of the term "Outstanding"; (iv) reduce the percentage of the Voting Rights allocated to, or the percentage of the Aggregate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of, any Class of any Series, the consent or direction of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required to allow or direct the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 or Section 5.12 of the Standard Indenture Provisions; (v) modify any provision of Section 9.02 of the Standard Indenture Provisions, except to increase any percentage specified herein or to provide that certain additional provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond affected thereby; (vi) modify any of the provisions of the Indenture in such manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest, premium (if any) or principal due on any Bond on any Payment Date (including the calculation of any of the individual components of such calculation) or to affect the rights of the Holders of any Series to the benefit of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of the Bonds of such Series contained therein; or (vii) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of the Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust Estate securing any Series or terminate the lien of the Indenture on any property at any time subject thereto or deprive the Holder of any Bond of the security afforded by the lien of the Indenture, except as otherwise expressly permitted thereby. Provided that no Issuer Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer may, at its option, pursuant to the Indenture redeem this Bond, in whole but not in part, at the Redemption Price therefor, on any Payment Date as of which the Aggregate Principal Amount of such Class is less than 15% of the initial Aggregate Principal Amount thereof and in any event subject to and in accordance with Article X of the Standard Indenture Provisions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer may at any time irrevocably waive its right to redeem this Bond.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment on this Bond will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Bond at the offices of the Indenture Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to the Holder hereof of such final payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no payments will be made with respect to a Bond that has previously been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence or, with limited exception, that should have been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence. The Bonds are limited in right of payment to certain distributions on the Pledged Securities, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture, withdrawals from the Bond Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, payments to Bondholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. Any payment to the Holder of this Bond in reduction of the Principal Amount hereof is binding on such Holder and all future Holders of this Bond and any Bond issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such payment is made upon this Bond. The Class of Bonds to which this Bond relates, are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Bond is exchangeable for new Bonds of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same Aggregate Principal Amount, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Bond or interest therein may be made by an investor unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. Initially, this Bond will be held in book-entry form (all such Bonds held from time to time in such form, the "Book-Entry Bonds"). If a transfer of any interest in a Book-Entry Bond is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then the beneficial owner of such Book-Entry Bond desiring to effect such transfer must obtain from such beneficial owner's prospective transferee a certificate substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2B with respect to compliance with the requirements of certain rules and regulations under the Securities Act and the provisions of the Indenture. In addition, in connection with its acquisition of an interest in any Book-Entry Bond, the transferee will be deemed to have made to and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Company and the Indenture Trustee each of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in such certificate to be so delivered to the transferor. Under certain circumstances described herein, this Bond may cease to be held in book-entry form and will be held in fully registered, physical form (all such Bonds held from time to time in such form the "Definitive Bonds"). If a transfer of any Definitive Bond is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then the registrar for the Bonds (the "Bond Registrar", which shall initially be the Indenture Trustee) is required to refuse to register such transfer unless it receives: (i) a certificate from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1A; (ii) a certificate from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1B and a certificate from such Bondholder's prospective transferee substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2A; or (iii) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act (which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Estate (as defined herein) or of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Indenture Trustee or the Bond Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or such Bondholder's prospective transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based. Any investor desiring to effect a transfer of any Bond or interest therein without registration under the Securities Act and registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws will be required to, and by acceptance of its Bonds or interests therein will be deemed to have agreed to, indemnify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Indenture Trustee and the Bond Registrar against any liability that may result if the transfer is not exempt from such registration and/or qualification or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. The Trust Estate has not been registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, and no transfer of this Bond shall be made to any Person other than an Affiliate of the Issuer, a QIB or an Institutional Accredited Investor. If any such transfer of this Bond is to be made, then the Indenture Trustee shall require, in order to assure compliance with the foregoing, unless the transferee is an Affiliate of the Issuer or unless a transferor certification in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1A or a transferee certification in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2A has already been delivered pursuant to Section 14 of the Terms Indenture, that the prospective transferee of this Bond certify in writing that it is a QIB or an Institutional Accredited Investor. No transfer of this Bond or any interest herein shall be made to a Plan, or to any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Bond or any interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan, unless the prospective Transferee of this Bond or any interest herein provides the Bond Registrar (in the case of a Definitive Bond) or the Bond Owner (in the case of a Book-Entry Bond) with a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel which establish to the satisfaction of the Indenture Trustee (in the case of a Definitive Bond) or the Bond Owner (in the case of a Book-Entry Bond) that the purchase and holding of this Bond or any interest herein will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Bond Registrar or the Indenture Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture. Each Person who acquires this Bond or any interest herein (unless it shall have delivered to the Bond Registrar a certification of facts and Opinion of Counsel as described in the preceding paragraph) shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Bond Registrar and the Indenture Trustee that either: (i) it is neither a Plan nor any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Bond or any interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan; or (ii) the purchase and holding of this Bond or any interest herein by or on behalf of, or with assets of, such Person will not result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code (and, will not subject the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Bond Registrar or the Indenture Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture). As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Bond is registrable in the Bond Register upon surrender of this Bond for registration of transfer at the offices of the Bond Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Bonds of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same Aggregate Principal Amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Bond, but the Indenture Trustee or the Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of this Bond. The Company, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Bond Registrar and any agent thereof may treat the Person in whose name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Company, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Bond Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. The Indenture will be discharged (except with respect to certain continuing rights specified in the Indenture) (a)(1) upon the delivery to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation of all of the Bonds other than Bonds which have been mutilated, lost or stolen and have been replaced or paid and Bonds for which money has been deposited in trust for the full payment thereof (and thereafter repaid to the Issuer and discharged from such trust) as provided in the Indenture or (2) at such time as all Bonds not previously cancelled by the Indenture Trustee have become, or, on the next Payment Date, will become, due and payable or called for redemption and the Issuer shall have deposited with the Indenture Trustee an amount sufficient to repay all of the Bonds and (b) the Issuer shall have paid all other amounts payable under the Indenture. With the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing more than 50% of the Aggregate Principal Amount (or, in the case of a Class of Interest Only Bonds, the aggregate Notional Amount) of each Class of any Series, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may amend the Indenture or enter into one or more indentures supplemental thereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture with respect to such Series or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Bondholders of such Series under the Indenture; provided that no such amendment or supplemental indenture shall result in an Adverse Rating Event in respect of any Class of Bonds of such Series (as confirmed in writing by each applicable Rating Agency); and, provided further, that no such amendment or supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond affected thereby, among other things, (i) change the date of payment of any installment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Bond, or reduce the Principal Amount thereof, the Bond Interest Rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change the provisions of the Indenture relating to the application of payments, collections and/or distributions on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the related Trust Estate to payments of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Bonds or change any place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Bond or the interest or premium, if any, thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the provisions of the Indenture requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article V of the Standard Indenture Provisions, to the payment of any such amount due on any Bond on or after the respective due dates thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date); (ii) reduce the percentage of the Voting Rights for or allocated to, or the percentage of the Aggregate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of, any Class and/or Series, the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or certain defaults thereunder and their consequences provided for in the Indenture; (iii) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the definition of the term "Outstanding"; (iv) reduce the percentage of the Voting Rights allocated to, or the percentage of the Aggregate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of, any Class of any Series, the consent or direction of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required to allow or direct the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 or Section 5.12 of the Standard Indenture Provisions; (v) modify any provision of Section 9.02 of the Standard Indenture Provisions, except to increase any percentage specified herein or to provide that certain additional provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond affected thereby; (vi) modify any of the provisions of the Indenture in such manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest, premium (if any) or principal due on any Bond on any Payment Date (including the calculation of any of the individual components of such calculation) or to affect the rights of the Holders of any Series to the benefit of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of the Bonds of such Series contained therein; or (vii) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of the Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust Estate securing any Series or terminate the lien of the Indenture on any property at any time subject thereto or deprive the Holder of any Bond of the security afforded by the lien of the Indenture, except as otherwise expressly permitted thereby. Provided that no Issuer Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer may, at its option, pursuant to the Indenture redeem this Bond, in whole but not in part, at the Redemption Price therefor, on any Payment Date as of which the Aggregate Principal Amount of such Class is less than 15% of the initial Aggregate Principal Amount thereof and in any event subject to and in accordance with Article X of the Standard Indenture Provisions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer may at any time irrevocably waive its right to redeem this Bond. On any Redemption Date, following the payments to be made on such date pursuant to Section 17(b) of the Terms Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from the Bond Account and, subject to Section 2.07(e) of the Standard Indenture Provisions, pay to the Holders of the Bonds to be redeemed the full Redemption Price therefor.

Each Person who acquires this Bond or any interest herein (unless it shall have delivered to the Bond Registrar a certification of facts and Opinion of Counsel as described in the preceding paragraph) shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Bond Registrar and the Indenture Trustee that either: (i) it is neither a Plan nor any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Bond or any interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan; or (ii) the purchase and holding of this Bond or any interest herein by or on behalf of, or with assets of, such Person will not result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code (and, will not subject the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Bond Registrar or the Indenture Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture).

To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Indenture. This Bond is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Indenture, to which Indenture the Holder of this Bond by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound. The Issuer, a Delaware business trust, for value received, hereby promises to pay to the Holder hereof or registered assigns, the principal sum of $ no later than June 2033. ---------------------- Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, payments will be made on the Class of Bonds to which this Bond belongs, pro rata among the Bonds of such Class based on their respective Principal Amounts, on the second Business Day following the end of each Collection Period (each, a "Payment Date"), commencing on the first Payment Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Bond is registered at the close of business on the related Record Date. All payments made under the Indenture on this Bond will be made by the Indenture Trustee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Bondholder shall have provided the Indenture Trustee with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent payments), or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such Bondholder as it appears in the Bond Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment on this Bond will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Bond at the offices of the Indenture Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to the Holder hereof of such final payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no payments will be made with respect to a Bond that has previously been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence or, with limited exception, that should have been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence. The Bonds are limited in right of payment to certain distributions on the Pledged Securities, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture, withdrawals from the Bond Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, payments to Bondholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. Any payment to the Holder of this Bond in reduction of the Principal Amount hereof is binding on such Holder and all future Holders of this Bond and any Bond issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such payment is made upon this Bond. The Class of Bonds to which this Bond relates, are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Bond is exchangeable for new Bonds of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same Aggregate Principal Amount, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Bond or interest therein may be made by an investor unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. Initially, this Bond will be held in book-entry form (all such Bonds held from time to time in such form, the "Book-Entry Bonds"). If a transfer of any interest in a Book-Entry Bond is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then the beneficial owner of such Book-Entry Bond desiring to effect such transfer must obtain from such beneficial owner's prospective transferee a certificate substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2B with respect to compliance with the requirements of certain rules and regulations under the Securities Act and the provisions of the Indenture. In addition, in connection with its acquisition of an interest in any Book-Entry Bond, the transferee will be deemed to have made to and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Company and the Indenture Trustee each of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in such certificate to be so delivered to the transferor. Under certain circumstances described herein, this Bond may cease to be held in book-entry form and will be held in fully registered, physical form (all such Bonds held from time to time in such form the "Definitive Bonds"). If a transfer of any Definitive Bond is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then the registrar for the Bonds (the "Bond Registrar", which shall initially be the Indenture Trustee) is required to refuse to register such transfer unless it receives: (i) a certificate from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1A; (ii) a certificate from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1B and a certificate from such Bondholder's prospective transferee substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2A; or (iii) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act (which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Estate (as defined herein) or of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Indenture Trustee or the Bond Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or such Bondholder's prospective transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based. Any investor desiring to effect a transfer of any Bond or interest therein without registration under the Securities Act and registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws will be required to, and by acceptance of its Bonds or interests therein will be deemed to have agreed to, indemnify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Indenture Trustee and the Bond Registrar against any liability that may result if the transfer is not exempt from such registration and/or qualification or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. The Trust Estate has not been registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, and no transfer of this Bond shall be made to any Person other than an Affiliate of the Issuer, a QIB or an Institutional Accredited Investor. If any such transfer of this Bond is to be made, then the Indenture Trustee shall require, in order to assure compliance with the foregoing, unless the transferee is an Affiliate of the Issuer or unless a transferor certification in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1A or a transferee certification in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2A has already been delivered pursuant to Section 14 of the Terms Indenture, that the prospective transferee of this Bond certify in writing that it is a QIB or an Institutional Accredited Investor. No transfer of this Bond or any interest herein shall be made to a Plan, or to any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Bond or any interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan, unless the prospective Transferee of this Bond or any interest herein provides the Bond Registrar (in the case of a Definitive Bond) or the Bond Owner (in the case of a Book-Entry Bond) with a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel which establish to the satisfaction of the Indenture Trustee (in the case of a Definitive Bond) or the Bond Owner (in the case of a Book-Entry Bond) that the purchase and holding of this Bond or any interest herein will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Bond Registrar or the Indenture Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture. Each Person who acquires this Bond or any interest herein (unless it shall have delivered to the Bond Registrar a certification of facts and Opinion of Counsel as described in the preceding paragraph) shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Bond Registrar and the Indenture Trustee that either: (i) it is neither a Plan nor any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Bond or any interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan; or (ii) the purchase and holding of this Bond or any interest herein by or on behalf of, or with assets of, such Person will not result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code (and, will not subject the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Bond Registrar or the Indenture Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture). As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Bond is registrable in the Bond Register upon surrender of this Bond for registration of transfer at the offices of the Bond Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Bonds of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same Aggregate Principal Amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Bond, but the Indenture Trustee or the Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of this Bond. The Company, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Bond Registrar and any agent thereof may treat the Person in whose name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Company, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Bond Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. The Indenture will be discharged (except with respect to certain continuing rights specified in the Indenture) (a)(1) upon the delivery to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation of all of the Bonds other than Bonds which have been mutilated, lost or stolen and have been replaced or paid and Bonds for which money has been deposited in trust for the full payment thereof (and thereafter repaid to the Issuer and discharged from such trust) as provided in the Indenture or (2) at such time as all Bonds not previously cancelled by the Indenture Trustee have become, or, on the next Payment Date, will become, due and payable or called for redemption and the Issuer shall have deposited with the Indenture Trustee an amount sufficient to repay all of the Bonds and (b) the Issuer shall have paid all other amounts payable under the Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment on this Bond will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Bond at the offices of the Indenture Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to the Holder hereof of such final payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no payments will be made with respect to a Bond that has previously been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence or, with limited exception, that should have been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence. The Bonds are limited in right of payment to certain distributions on the Pledged Securities, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture, withdrawals from the Bond Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, payments to Bondholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. Any payment to the Holder of this Bond in reduction of the Principal Amount hereof is binding on such Holder and all future Holders of this Bond and any Bond issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such payment is made upon this Bond. The Class of Bonds to which this Bond relates, are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Bond is exchangeable for new Bonds of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same Aggregate Principal Amount, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Bond or interest therein may be made by an investor unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. Initially, this Bond will be held in book-entry form (all such Bonds held from time to time in such form, the "Book-Entry Bonds"). If a transfer of any interest in a Book-Entry Bond is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then the beneficial owner of such Book-Entry Bond desiring to effect such transfer must obtain from such beneficial owner's prospective transferee a certificate substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2B with respect to compliance with the requirements of certain rules and regulations under the Securities Act and the provisions of the Indenture. In addition, in connection with its acquisition of an interest in any Book-Entry Bond, the transferee will be deemed to have made to and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Company and the Indenture Trustee each of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in such certificate to be so delivered to the transferor. Under certain circumstances described herein, this Bond may cease to be held in book-entry form and will be held in fully registered, physical form (all such Bonds held from time to time in such form the "Definitive Bonds"). If a transfer of any Definitive Bond is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then the registrar for the Bonds (the "Bond Registrar", which shall initially be the Indenture Trustee) is required to refuse to register such transfer unless it receives: (i) a certificate from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1A; (ii) a certificate from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1B and a certificate from such Bondholder's prospective transferee substantially in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2A; or (iii) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act (which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Estate (as defined herein) or of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Indenture Trustee or the Bond Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Bondholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or such Bondholder's prospective transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based. Any investor desiring to effect a transfer of any Bond or interest therein without registration under the Securities Act and registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws will be required to, and by acceptance of its Bonds or interests therein will be deemed to have agreed to, indemnify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Indenture Trustee and the Bond Registrar against any liability that may result if the transfer is not exempt from such registration and/or qualification or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. The Trust Estate has not been registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, and no transfer of this Bond shall be made to any Person other than an Affiliate of the Issuer, a QIB or an Institutional Accredited Investor. If any such transfer of this Bond is to be made, then the Indenture Trustee shall require, in order to assure compliance with the foregoing, unless the transferee is an Affiliate of the Issuer or unless a transferor certification in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-1A or a transferee certification in the form attached to the Terms Indenture as Exhibit C-2A has already been delivered pursuant to Section 14 of the Terms Indenture, that the prospective transferee of this Bond certify in writing that it is a QIB or an Institutional Accredited Investor. No transfer of this Bond or any interest herein shall be made to a Plan, or to any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Bond or any interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan, unless the prospective Transferee of this Bond or any interest herein provides the Bond Registrar (in the case of a Definitive Bond) or the Bond Owner (in the case of a Book-Entry Bond) with a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel which establish to the satisfaction of the Indenture Trustee (in the case of a Definitive Bond) or the Bond Owner (in the case of a Book-Entry Bond) that the purchase and holding of this Bond or any interest herein will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Bond Registrar or the Indenture Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture. Each Person who acquires this Bond or any interest herein (unless it shall have delivered to the Bond Registrar a certification of facts and Opinion of Counsel as described in the preceding paragraph) shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Bond Registrar and the Indenture Trustee that either: (i) it is neither a Plan nor any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Bond or any interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan; or (ii) the purchase and holding of this Bond or any interest herein by or on behalf of, or with assets of, such Person will not result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code (and, will not subject the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Manager, the Company, the Bond Registrar or the Indenture Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture). As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Bond is registrable in the Bond Register upon surrender of this Bond for registration of transfer at the offices of the Bond Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Bonds of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same Aggregate Principal Amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Bond, but the Indenture Trustee or the Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of this Bond. The Company, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Bond Registrar and any agent thereof may treat the Person in whose name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Company, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Bond Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. The Indenture will be discharged (except with respect to certain continuing rights specified in the Indenture) (a)(1) upon the delivery to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation of all of the Bonds other than Bonds which have been mutilated, lost or stolen and have been replaced or paid and Bonds for which money has been deposited in trust for the full payment thereof (and thereafter repaid to the Issuer and discharged from such trust) as provided in the Indenture or (2) at such time as all Bonds not previously cancelled by the Indenture Trustee have become, or, on the next Payment Date, will become, due and payable or called for redemption and the Issuer shall have deposited with the Indenture Trustee an amount sufficient to repay all of the Bonds and (b) the Issuer shall have paid all other amounts payable under the Indenture. With the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing more than 50% of the Aggregate Principal Amount (or, in the case of a Class of Interest Only Bonds, the aggregate Notional Amount) of each Class of any Series, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may amend the Indenture or enter into one or more indentures supplemental thereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture with respect to such Series or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Bondholders of such Series under the Indenture; provided that no such amendment or supplemental indenture shall result in an Adverse Rating Event in respect of any Class of Bonds of such Series (as confirmed in writing by each applicable Rating Agency); and, provided further, that no such amendment or supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond affected thereby, among other things, (i) change the date of payment of any installment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Bond, or reduce the Principal Amount thereof, the Bond Interest Rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change the provisions of the Indenture relating to the application of payments, collections and/or distributions on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the related Trust Estate to payments of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Bonds or change any place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Bond or the interest or premium, if any, thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the provisions of the Indenture requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article V of the Standard Indenture Provisions, to the payment of any such amount due on any Bond on or after the respective due dates thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date); (ii) reduce the percentage of the Voting Rights for or allocated to, or the percentage of the Aggregate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of, any Class and/or Series, the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or certain defaults thereunder and their consequences provided for in the Indenture; (iii) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the definition of the term "Outstanding"; (iv) reduce the percentage of the Voting Rights allocated to, or the percentage of the Aggregate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of, any Class of any Series, the consent or direction of the Holders of Bonds representing which is required to allow or direct the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 or Section 5.12 of the Standard Indenture Provisions; (v) modify any provision of Section 9.02 of the Standard Indenture Provisions, except to increase any percentage specified herein or to provide that certain additional provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond affected thereby; (vi) modify any of the provisions of the Indenture in such manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest, premium (if any) or principal due on any Bond on any Payment Date (including the calculation of any of the individual components of such calculation) or to affect the rights of the Holders of any Series to the benefit of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of the Bonds of such Series contained therein; or (vii) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of the Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust Estate securing any Series or terminate the lien of the Indenture on any property at any time subject thereto or deprive the Holder of any Bond of the security afforded by the lien of the Indenture, except as otherwise expressly permitted thereby.
