In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee within ten (10) days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Trustee requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor, therefor any such additional information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor DLJMC hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Trustee that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely basis. In the event that any tax is imposed on "“prohibited transactions" ” of any REMIC hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "“net income from foreclosure property" ” of such any REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any REMIC hereunder the REMICs after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including, without limitation, any minimum tax imposed upon any REMIC hereunder REMICs pursuant to Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Master ServicerSeller, in the case of any such minimum tax, or if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer or Seller of any of their its obligations under this Agreement, Agreement or (iii) the Seller, if any such tax arises out of or results from the Seller's ’s obligation to repurchase a related Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iv) in all other cases, or in the event that the Trustee, the Master Servicer Trustee or the Seller fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i),(iii), (ii) or (iii)) or a Servicer fails to honor its obligations pursuant to Section 8.15, any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section 3.08(b3.09(b). The Trustee shall treat the beneficial owners of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class X, Class A-IO-S and Class R Certificates) as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the beneficial owners of the Class X Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all beneficial owners of Offered Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the beneficial owners of the Class X Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the interest in the Master REMIC corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class I Shortfall”). A Class I Shortfall payable from interest collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Certificates based on the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Certificates, such interest being determined by substituting the REMIC Maximum Rate for the applicable Net Funds Cap in the definition of Pass-Through Rate for such Class of Certificates, and a Class I Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the beneficial owner of the Class X Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Basis Risk Shortfalls to the Owners of the Offered Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments to the Certificates in light of the foregoing shall not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment from the Certificates of a Class I Shortfall shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the beneficial owners of such Certificates in respect of their Interests in the Master REMIC and as having been paid by such beneficial owners to the Supplemental Interest Trust pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each Certificate (other than a Class P, Class A-IO-S and Class R Certificate) shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests in the Master REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in (and obligations with respect to) a notional principal contract. For tax purposes, the notional principal contract shall be deemed to have a value in favor of the Certificates entitled to receive Basis Risk Shortfalls of $10,000.00 as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the priority and sources of payments set forth in Article IV hereof or otherwise, the Trustee shall account for all distributions on the Certificates as set forth in this Section 8.11. In no event shall any payments of Basis Risk Shortfalls provided for in this Section 8.11 be treated as payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). The Trustee, the Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. None of the Trustee, the Servicers nor the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall knowingly take any action, cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee and the Servicers have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax. With respect to WFBNA, such Opinion of Counsel may be provided by internal counsel, provided that, the delivery of such Opinion of Counsel shall not release WFBNA from any of its obligations hereunder and WFBNA shall be responsible for such contemplated actions or inaction, as the case may be, to the extent it conflicts with the terms of this Agreement. Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in the REMICs or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders of regular interests in the related REMIC. The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis. The Trustee will apply for an Employee Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other acceptable method for all tax entities.

Thus, each REMIC Regular Interest shall be treated as representing ownership of not only REMIC Regular Interests, but also ownership of an interest in interest rate cap contracts or a separate contractual right. For purposes of determining the issue price of the REMIC Regular interests, the Trustee shall assume that the Basis Risk Reserve Fund has a de minimis value.

Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in the REMICs or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders of regular interests in the related REMIC. The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee within ten (10) days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Trustee requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor, therefor any such additional information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor DLJMC hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Trustee that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely basis. In the event that any tax is imposed on "“prohibited transactions" ” of any REMIC hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "“net income from foreclosure property" ” of such any REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any REMIC hereunder the REMICs after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including, without limitation, any minimum tax imposed upon any REMIC hereunder REMICs pursuant to Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Master ServicerSeller, in the case of any such minimum tax, or if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer or Seller of any of their its obligations under this Agreement, Agreement or (iii) the Seller, if any such tax arises out of or results from the Seller's ’s obligation to repurchase a related Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iv) in all other cases, or in the event that the Trustee, the Master Servicer Trustee or the Seller fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i),(iii), (ii) or (iii)) or a Servicer fails to honor its obligations pursuant to Section 8.15, any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section 3.08(b3.09(b). The Trustee shall treat the beneficial owners of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class X, Class A-IO-S, Class R-II and Class R Certificates) as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the beneficial owners of the Class X Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all beneficial owners of Offered Certificates and the Class B-4 and Class B-5 Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the beneficial owners of the Class X Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the interest in the Master REMIC corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class I Shortfall”). A Class I Shortfall payable from interest collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Certificates based on the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Certificates, such interest being determined by substituting the REMIC Maximum Rate for the applicable Net Funds Cap in the definition of Pass-Through Rate for such Class of Certificates, and a Class I Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the beneficial owner of the Class X Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Basis Risk Shortfalls to the Owners of the Offered Certificates and the Class B-4 and Class B-5 Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments to the Certificates in light of the foregoing shall not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment from the Certificates of a Class I Shortfall shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the beneficial owners of such Certificates in respect of their Interests in the Master REMIC and as having been paid by such beneficial owners to the Supplemental Interest Trust pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each Certificate (other than a Class P, Class A-IO-S, Class R-II and Class R Certificate) shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests in the Master REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in (and obligations with respect to) a notional principal contract. For tax purposes, the notional principal contract shall be deemed to have a value in favor of the Certificates entitled to receive Basis Risk Shortfalls of $10,000.00 as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the priority and sources of payments set forth in Article IV hereof or otherwise, the Trustee shall account for all distributions on the Certificates as set forth in this Section 8.11. In no event shall any payments of Basis Risk Shortfalls provided for in this Section 8.11 be treated as payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). The Trustee, the Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. Neither the Trustee, the Servicers nor the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall knowingly take any action, cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee and the Servicers have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax. With respect to WFBNA, such Opinion of Counsel may be provided by internal counsel, provided that, the delivery of such Opinion of Counsel shall not release WFBNA from any of its obligations hereunder and WFBNA shall be responsible for such contemplated actions or inaction, as the case may be, to the extent it conflicts with the terms of this Agreement. Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in the REMICs or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders of regular interests in the related REMIC. The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis. The Trustee will apply for an Employee Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other acceptable method for all tax entities.

A Class I Shortfall payable from interest collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Certificates based on the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Certificates, such interest being determined by substituting the REMIC Maximum Rate for the applicable Net Funds Cap in the definition of Pass-Through Rate for such Class of Certificates, and a Class I Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the beneficial owner of the Class X Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Basis Risk Shortfalls to the Owners of the Offered Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments to the Certificates in light of the foregoing shall not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment from the Certificates of a Class I Shortfall shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the beneficial owners of such Certificates in respect of their Interests in the Master REMIC and as having been paid by such beneficial owners to the Supplemental Interest Trust pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each Certificate (other than a Class P, Class A-IO-S and Class R Certificate) shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests in the Master REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in (and obligations with respect to) a notional principal contract. For tax purposes, the notional principal contract shall be deemed to have a value in favor of the Certificates entitled to receive Basis Risk Shortfalls of $10,000.00 as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the priority and sources of payments set forth in Article IV hereof or otherwise, the Trustee shall account for all distributions on the Certificates as set forth in this Section 8.11. In no event shall any payments of Basis Risk Shortfalls provided for in this Section 8.11 be treated as payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). The Trustee, the Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. None of the Trustee, the Servicer nor the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall knowingly take any action, cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee and the Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax. Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in the REMICs or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders of regular interests in the related REMIC. The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis. The Trustee will apply for an Employee Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other acceptable method for all tax entities.

Tax Matters. It is intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC election is to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and that the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such assets as, a "multiple “real estate mortgage investment conduit" conduits” as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of any such REMIC the REMICs and that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare prepare, sign and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to any such each REMIC, containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional information as may be required by such Formform, and update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code; (c) make or cause to be made elections that such each group of segregated assets be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law)) and apply for an employee identification number from the IRS via a Form SS-4 or any other acceptable method for all tax entities; (d) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount using the Prepayment Assumption; (e) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax); (f) to the extent that they are under its control control, conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of any REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of either the REMIC statusstatus of any REMIC hereunder; (h) pay, from the sources specified in the last sixth paragraph of this Section 8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on any such REMIC hereunder prior to its termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other person as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; (j) maintain records relating to any such REMICthe REMICs, including but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities thereof and the fair market value and adjusted basis of the assets determined on the accrual method or at such intervals internals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information; and (k) as and when necessary and appropriate, represent any such REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any such REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of any such REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of any such REMIC the REMICs in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it. In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee within ten (10) days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Trustee requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor, therefor any such additional information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor DLJMC hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Trustee that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely basis. In the event that any tax is imposed on "“prohibited transactions" ” of any REMIC hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "“net income from foreclosure property" ” of such any REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any REMIC hereunder the REMICs after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including, without limitation, any minimum tax imposed upon any REMIC hereunder REMICs pursuant to Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Master ServicerSeller, in the case of any such minimum tax, or if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer or Seller of any of their its obligations under this Agreement, Agreement or (iii) the Seller, if any such tax arises out of or results from the Seller's ’s obligation to repurchase a related Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iv) in all other cases, or in the event that the Trustee, the Master Servicer Trustee or the Seller fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i),(iii), (ii) or (iii)) or a Servicer fails to honor its obligations pursuant to Section 8.15, any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section 3.08(b3.09(b). The Trustee shall treat the beneficial owners of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class X, Class A-IO-S, Class R-II and Class R Certificates) as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the beneficial owners of the Class X Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all beneficial owners of Offered Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the beneficial owners of the Class X Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the interest in the Master REMIC corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class I Shortfall”). A Class I Shortfall payable from interest collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Certificates based on the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Certificates, such interest being determined by substituting the REMIC Maximum Rate for the applicable Net Funds Cap in the definition of Pass-Through Rate for such Class of Certificates, and a Class I Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the beneficial owner of the Class X Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Basis Risk Shortfalls to the Owners of the Offered Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments to the Certificates in light of the foregoing shall not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment from the Certificates of a Class I Shortfall shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the beneficial owners of such Certificates in respect of their Interests in the Master REMIC and as having been paid by such beneficial owners to the Supplemental Interest Trust pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each Certificate (other than a Class P, Class A-IO-S, Class R-II and Class R Certificate) shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests in the Master REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in (and obligations with respect to) a notional principal contract. For tax purposes, the notional principal contract shall be deemed to have a value in favor of the Certificates entitled to receive Basis Risk Shortfalls of $10,000.00 as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the priority and sources of payments set forth in Article IV hereof or otherwise, the Trustee shall account for all distributions on the Certificates as set forth in this Section 8.11. In no event shall any payments of Basis Risk Shortfalls provided for in this Section 8.11 be treated as payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). The Trustee, the Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. Neither the Trustee, the Servicers, the Master Servicer nor the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall knowingly take any action, cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Servicers have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax. With respect to WFBNA, such Opinion of Counsel may be provided by internal counsel, provided that, the delivery of such Opinion of Counsel shall not release WFBNA from any of its obligations hereunder and WFBNA shall be responsible for such contemplated actions or inaction, as the case may be, to the extent it conflicts with the terms of this Agreement. Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in the REMICs or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders of regular interests in the related REMIC. The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

In the event that any tax is imposed on "“prohibited transactions" ” of any REMIC hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "“net income from foreclosure property" ” of such any REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any REMIC hereunder the REMICs after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including, without limitation, any minimum tax imposed upon any REMIC hereunder REMICs pursuant to Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Master ServicerSeller, in the case of any such minimum tax, or if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer or Seller of any of their its obligations under this Agreement, Agreement or (iii) the Seller, if any such tax arises out of or results from the Seller's ’s obligation to repurchase a related Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iv) in all other cases, or in the event that the Trustee, the Master Servicer Trustee or the Seller fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i),(iii), (ii) or (iii)) or the Servicer fails to honor its obligations pursuant to Section 8.15, any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section 3.08(b3.09(b). The Trustee shall treat the Basis Risk Reserve Fund as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h) that is owned by the Class X Certificateholder, and not as an asset of any REMIC. The Trustee shall treat the rights of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-IO, Class M-1, Class M-2, Class B-1 and Class B-2 Certificateholders to receive payments from the Basis Risk Reserve Fund as rights in an interest rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholder in favor of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class M-1, Class M-2, Class B-1, and Class B-2 Certificateholders. The Class M-1, Class M-2, Class B-1 and Class B-2 Certificateholders will also be treated as holders of rights in an limited recourse interest rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholder whereby the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class B-1 and Class B-2 Certificateholders will receive any excess of the Subordinate Net Funds Cap over the Adjusted Subordinate Net Funds Cap on their respective principal balances for such Distribution Date. In addition, the Class X Certificateholders shall be deemed to have entered into a contractual arrangement with the Class R Certificateholders whereby the Class R Certificateholders agree to pay to the Class X Certificateholders on each Distribution Date amounts that would, in the absence of such contractual agreement, be distributable with respect to the residual interest in the Master REMIC pursuant to Section 4.02(e)(xiv). Thus, each REMIC Regular Interest shall be treated as representing ownership of not only REMIC Regular Interests, but also ownership of an interest in interest rate cap contracts or a separate contractual right. For purposes of determining the issue price of the REMIC Regular interests, the Trustee shall assume that the Basis Risk Reserve Fund has a de minimis value. The Trustee, the Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. Neither the Trustee, the Servicers nor the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall take any action, cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee and the Servicers have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax. Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in the REMICs or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders of regular interests in the related REMIC. The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis. The Trustee will apply for an Employee Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other acceptable method for all tax entities.

Tax Matters. It is intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC election is to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and that the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such assets as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of any such REMIC and that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to any such REMIC, containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code; (c) make or cause to be made elections that such assets be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law); (d) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount using the Prepayment Assumption; (e) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax); (f) to the extent that they are under its control conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of either REMIC statusthe tax status of any REMIC; (h) pay, from the sources specified in the last paragraph of this Section 8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on any such REMIC prior to its termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other person as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; (j) maintain records relating to any such REMIC, including but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities thereof and the fair market value and adjusted basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information; and (k) as and when necessary and appropriate, represent any such REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any such REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of any such REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of any such REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it.

Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Trustee that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely basis. In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of any REMIC hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any REMIC hereunder after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including, without limitation, any minimum tax imposed upon any REMIC hereunder pursuant to Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Master Servicer, in the case of any such minimum tax, or if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer or Seller of any of their obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the Seller, if any such tax arises out of or results from the Seller's obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iv) in all other cases, or in the event that the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Seller fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i),(ii) or (iii), any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section 3.08(b).

The Trustee shall treat the Basis Risk Reserve Fund and the Interest Rate Cap Account as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h) that is owned by the Class X Certificateholder, and not as an asset of any REMIC. The Trustee shall treat the rights of the LIBOR Certificateholders to receive payments in respect of Basis Risk Shortfalls as rights in an interest rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholder in favor of the LIBOR Certificateholders. The Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificateholders will also be treated as holders of rights in an limited recourse interest rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholder whereby the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificateholders will receive any excess of the Subordinate Net Funds Cap over the Adjusted Subordinate Net Funds Cap on their respective principal balances for such Distribution Date.

Thus, each REMIC Regular Interest shall be treated as representing ownership of not only REMIC Regular Interests, but also ownership of an interest in interest rate cap contracts or a separate contractual right. For purposes of determining the issue price of the REMIC Regular interests, the Trustee shall assume that the Basis Risk Reserve Fund has a de minimis value. The Trustee, the Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. Neither the Trustee, the Servicers nor the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall take any action, cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee and the Servicers have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax. Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in the REMICs or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders of regular interests in the related REMIC. The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis. The Trustee will apply for an Employee Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other acceptable method for all tax entities.

Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth hereinin this Agreement. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Trustee that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely basis. In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of any REMIC hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any REMIC hereunder after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including, without limitation, any minimum tax imposed upon any REMIC hereunder pursuant to Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Master Servicer, in the case of any such minimum tax, or if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer or a Seller of any of their obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the any Seller, if any such tax arises out of or results from the that Seller's obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iv) in all other cases, or in the event that the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the any Seller fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i),(ii) or (iii), any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section 3.08(b). 115 The Trustee shall treat the Carryover Reserve Fund and the Swap Trust, including each Swap Account, as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h), neither of which is an asset of any REMIC created hereunder. The Carryover Reserve Fund shall be treated as owned by the Holders of the Class C Certificates, and the Swap Trust, including the Swap Account, shall be treated as owned by the Holders of the Class C Certificates. The Trustee shall treat the rights of the Holders of the LIBOR Certificates and the Class C Certificates to receive payments from the Carryover Reserve Fund or the Swap Trust, including the Swap Account, as applicable, as rights and obligations with respect to notional principal contracts written by (i) the Holders of the Class C Certificates in respect of any Net Rate Carryover distributed pursuant to Section 4.02(c)(vi) herein and (ii) the Swap Counterparty in respect of any Net Rate Carryover funded by the Swap Contract and in respect of any residual payments from such Swap Contract received by the Class C Certificates. Thus, the LIBOR Certificates and the Class C Certificates shall be treated as representing ownership of Master REMIC regular interests coupled with contractual rights and obligations within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(i). For U.S. federal income tax purposes, in order to determine the issue price of a REMIC regular interest underlying a Master REMIC Certificate, the Trustee shall treat any obligation (or deemed obligation) to make payments under the Swap Contract undertaken by the holder of such Master REMIC Certificate, as part of the consideration paid by the Certificateholder for the underlying REMIC regular interest. The total deemed obligation for all Certificateholders shall be $1,045,000.00. The trustee shall treat any amount payable to a Class C Certificateholder as first deposited in the Carryover Reserve Fund. In addition, to the extent the interest otherwise payable to a Certificateholder is reduced for amounts payable with respect to a Swap Contract, the Trustee, for federal income tax purposes, shall treat the amount of such reduction as first payable to the Certificateholder as interest and as then payable by the Certificateholder with respect to a notional principal contract. To the extent the amount payable with respect to such Swap Contract exceeds the aggregate of the reductions described in the immediate sentence, the Trustee, for federal income tax purposes, shall treat such excess as Realized Losses from Mortgage Loans and to the extent such Realized Losses (if they had occurred) would be allocated to a Certificateholder, the Trustee shall treat such amount as first payable to the Certificateholder as principal and as then payable by the Certificateholder with respect to a notional principal contract. For this purpose, the amount of interest otherwise payable to a Certificateholder is computed as if the Net Rate Cap was the applicable Tax Net Rate Cap. Solely for income tax purposes, any differences in the distributions to a Certificateholder (positive or negative) that would result from the application of the Strip REMIC Cap rather than the applicable Net Rate Cap shall be treated by the Trustee as reconciled among the Certificates by swap payments made pursuant to notional principal contracts entered into among the Certificateholders.

Thus, the LIBOR Certificates and the Class C Certificates shall be treated as representing ownership of Master REMIC regular interests coupled with contractual rights and obligations within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(i). In addition, the Trustee shall assume that each of Corridor Contract 1 and Corridor Contract 2 were acquired at market.

Tax Matters. It is intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC election is to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and that the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such assets as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of any such REMIC and that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to any such REMIC, containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code; (c) make or cause to be made elections that such assets be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law); (d) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount using the Prepayment Assumption; (e) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax); (f) to the extent that they are under its control conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of either REMIC statusthe tax status of any REMIC; (h) pay, from 121 the sources specified in the last third paragraph of this Section 8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on any such REMIC prior to its termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other person as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; (j) maintain records relating to any such REMIC, including but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities thereof and the fair market value and adjusted basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information; and (k) as and when necessary and appropriate, represent any such REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any such REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of any such REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of any such REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it. In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth hereinin this Agreement, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee within ten (10) days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Trustee requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth hereinin this Agreement. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Trustee that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely basis. In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of any REMIC hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any REMIC hereunder after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including, without limitation, any minimum tax imposed upon any REMIC hereunder pursuant to Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Master Servicer, in the case of any such minimum tax, or if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer or a Seller of any of their obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the any Seller, if any such tax arises out of or results from the that Seller's obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iv) in all other cases, or in the event that the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the any Seller fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i),(ii) or (iii), any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section 3.08(b). 122 The Trustee shall treat the Carryover Reserve Fund and the Swap Trust, including the Swap Account, as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h), neither of which is an asset of any REMIC created hereunder. The Carryover Reserve Fund shall be treated as owned by the Holders of the Class C Certificates, and the Swap Trust, including the Swap Account, shall be treated as owned by the Holders of the Class C Certificates. The Trustee shall treat the rights of the Holders of the LIBOR Certificates and the Class C Certificates to receive payments from the Carryover Reserve Fund or the Swap Trust, including the Swap Account, as applicable, as rights and obligations with respect to notional principal contracts written by (i) the Holders of the Class C Certificates in respect of any Net Rate Carryover distributed pursuant to Section 4.02(c)(vi) herein and (ii) the Swap Counterparty in respect of any Net Rate Carryover funded by the Swap Contract and in respect of any residual payments from such Swap Contract received by the Class C Certificates. Thus, the LIBOR Certificates and the Class C Certificates shall be treated as representing ownership of Master REMIC regular interests coupled with contractual rights and obligations within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(i). For U.S. federal income tax purposes, in order to determine the issue price of a REMIC regular interest underlying a Master REMIC Certificate, the Trustee shall treat any obligation (or deemed obligation) to make payments under the Swap Contract undertaken by the holder of such Master REMIC Certificate, as part of the consideration paid by the Certificateholder for the underlying REMIC regular interest. The total deemed obligation for all Certificateholders shall be $775,000. The trustee shall treat any amount payable to a Class C Certificateholder as first deposited in the Carryover Reserve Fund. In addition, to the extent the interest otherwise payable to a Certificateholder is reduced for amounts payable with respect to a Swap Contract, the Trustee, for federal income tax purposes, shall treat the amount of such reduction as first payable to the Certificateholder as interest and as then payable by the Certificateholder with respect to a notional principal contract. To the extent the amount payable with respect to the Swap Contract exceeds the aggregate of the reductions described in the immediate sentence, the Trustee, for federal income tax purposes, shall treat such excess as Realized Losses from Mortgage Loans and to the extent such Realized Losses (if they had occurred) would be allocated to a Certificateholder, the Trustee shall treat such amount as first payable to the Certificateholder as principal and as then payable by the Certificateholder with respect to a notional principal contract. For this purpose, the amount of interest otherwise payable to a Certificateholder is computed as if the Net Rate Cap was the applicable Tax Net Rate Cap. Solely for income tax purposes, any differences in the distributions to a Certificateholder (positive or negative) that would result from the application of the Strip REMIC Cap rather than the applicable Net Rate Cap shall be treated by the Trustee as reconciled among the Certificates by swap payments made pursuant to notional principal contracts entered into among the Certificateholders.

Tax Matters. It is intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC election is to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and that the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such assets as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of any such REMIC and that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to any such REMIC, containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code; (c) make or cause to be made elections that such assets be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law); (d) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount using the Prepayment Assumption; (e) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax); (f) to the extent that they are under its control conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of either REMIC statusthe tax status of any REMIC; (h) pay, from the sources specified in the last third paragraph of this Section 8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on any such REMIC prior to its termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other person as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; (j) maintain records 107 relating to any such REMIC, including but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities thereof and the fair market value and adjusted basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information; and (k) as and when necessary and appropriate, represent any such REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any such REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of any such REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of any such REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it.

Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth hereinin this Agreement. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Trustee that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely basis. In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of any REMIC hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any REMIC hereunder after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including, without limitation, any minimum tax imposed upon any REMIC hereunder pursuant to Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Master Servicer, in the case of any such minimum tax, or if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer or a Seller of any of their obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the any Seller, if any such tax arises out of or results from the that Seller's obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iv) in all other cases, or in the event that the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the any Seller fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i),(ii) or (iii), any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section 3.08(b). The Trustee shall treat the Carryover Reserve Fund and the Supplemental Interest Trust, including each Derivative Account, as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h), none of which is an asset of any REMIC created hereunder. The Carryover Reserve Fund shall be treated as owned by the Holders of the Class C Certificates, and the Supplemental Interest Trust, including the Derivative Accounts, shall be treated as owned by the Underwriter. The Trustee shall treat the rights of the Holders of the LIBOR Certificates and the Class C Certificates to receive payments from the Carryover Reserve Fund or the Supplemental Interest Trust, including the Derivative Accounts, as applicable, as rights and obligations with respect to notional principal contracts written by (i) the Holders of the Class C Certificates in respect of any Net Rate Carryover distributed pursuant to Section 4.02(c)(6) herein and (ii) each Counterparty in respect of any Net Rate Carryover funded by the related Derivative Agreement and in respect of any residual payments from such Derivative Agreement received by the Underwriter. Thus, the LIBOR Certificates and the Class C Certificates shall be treated as representing ownership of Master REMIC regular interests coupled with contractual rights and obligations within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(i). For purposes of determining the issue price of the various Master REMIC regular interests, the Trustee (i) shall treat the $1,580,000 upfront amount received by the Underwriter from the Swap Counterparty in connection with the execution of the Certificate Swap Contract as an additional amount paid by the Certificateholders for the Master REMIC regular interests, (ii) shall treat the $315,000 upfront amount received by the Underwriter from the Swap Counterparty in connection with the execution of the Subordinated Certificate Swap Contract as an additional amount paid by the Certificateholders for the Master REMIC regular interests, (iii) shall assume that the Subordinated Certificate Corridor Contract has a value of $158,000 and (iv) shall assume that the Put Contract was acquired at market. The Trustee shall treat any amount payable to a Class C Certificateholder as first deposited in the Carryover Reserve Fund. In addition, to the extent the interest otherwise payable to a Certificateholder is reduced for amounts payable with respect to a swap contract, the Trustee, for federal income tax purposes, shall treat the amount of such reduction as first payable to the Certificateholder as interest and as then payable by the Certificateholder with respect to a notional principal contract. To the extent the amount payable with respect to such swap contract exceeds the aggregate of the reductions described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee, for federal income tax purposes, shall treat such excess as Realized Losses from Mortgage Loans and to the extent such Realized Losses (if they had occurred) would be allocated to a Certificateholder, the Trustee shall treat such amount as first payable to the Certificateholder as principal and as then payable by the Certificateholder with respect to a notional principal contract. Solely for income tax purposes, any differences in the distributions to a Certificateholder (positive or negative) that would result from the application of the Strip REMIC Cap rather than the applicable Net Rate Cap shall be treated by the Trustee as reconciled among the Certificates by swap payments made pursuant to notional principal contracts entered into among the Certificateholders.

The Trustee shall treat the Basis Risk Reserve Fund and the Interest Rate Cap Account as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h) that is owned by the Class X Certificateholder, and not as an asset of any REMIC. The Trustee shall treat the rights of the LIBOR Certificateholders to receive payments in respect of Basis Risk Shortfalls as rights in an interest rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholder in favor of the LIBOR Certificateholders. The Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificateholders will also be treated as holders of rights in an limited recourse interest rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholder whereby the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificateholders will receive any excess of the Subordinate Net Funds Cap over the Adjusted Subordinate Net Funds Cap on their respective principal balances for such Distribution Date.

Thus, each REMIC Regular Interest shall be treated as representing ownership of not only REMIC Regular Interests, but also ownership of an interest in interest rate cap contracts or a separate contractual right. For purposes of determining the issue price of the REMIC Regular interests, the Trustee shall assume that the Basis Risk Reserve Fund has a de minimis value. The Trustee, the Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. Neither the Trustee, the Servicers, the Master Servicer nor the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall knowingly take any action, cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Servicers have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax. Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in the REMICs or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders of regular interests in the related REMIC. The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis. The Trustee will apply for an Employee Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other acceptable method for all tax entities.

Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in the REMICs or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders of regular interests in the related REMIC. The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

The Trustee, the Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status.

Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in the REMICs or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders of regular interests in the related REMIC. The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis. The Trustee will apply for an Employee Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS 4 or other acceptable method for all tax entities.
