Such registration statement, including the exhibits thereto and information that is contained in the Prospectus (as defined below) and is deemed to be part of and included in such registration statement, as such registration statement may have been amended or supplemented at the date of the Prospectus, is hereinafter referred to as the “ Registration Statement ”; the prospectus first required to be filed to satisfy the condition set forth in Rule 172(c) and pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act, is hereinafter referred to as the “ Base Prospectus ”; such form of supplement to the Base Prospectus relating to the Certificates, in the form first required to be filed to satisfy the condition set forth in Rule 172(c) and pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act (including the Base Prospectus as so supplemented) is hereinafter referred to as the “ Prospectus Supplement ”; and the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, together, are hereinafter referred to as the “ Prospectus ”.

If, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Depositor and the Underwriters determine that such information included an untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and terminate their old purchase contracts and enter into new purchase contracts with investors in the Certificates, then “ Time of Sale Information ” will refer to the information conveyed to purchasers at the time of entry into the first such new purchase
