(b) The applicable Custodian has reviewed, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the parties hereto, each Trustee Mortgage Loan File and has delivered to the Trustee (with a copy to the Depositor) on the Closing Date a Trust Receipt, in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the “Trust Receipt”) with respect to each Mortgage Loan to the effect that, except as specifically noted on a schedule of exceptions thereto (the “Exceptions List”):

(i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to clause (a) through (e) and (g) of the definition of Trustee Mortgage Loan File are in the Trustee’s or the applicable Custodian’s possession, provided that,

(A) such Custodian shall have no obligation to verify the receipt of any such documents the existence of which was not made known to such Custodian by the Trustee Mortgage Loan File, and

(B) such Custodian shall have no obligation to determine whether recordation of any such modification is necessary;

(ii) all documents have been examined by such Custodian and appear regular on their face and to relate to the Mortgage Loans;

(iii) based only on such Custodian’s examination of the foregoing documents, the information set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule representing each Mortgage Loan accurately reflects the Originator loan number, the borrower’s name, the original principal balance, the maturity date of the mortgage loan and the mortgage loan interest rate; and

(iv) that each mortgage note has been endorsed and each assignment of mortgage has been assigned as described in the definition of Trustee Mortgage Loan File, provided that such Custodian shall have no obligation to confirm that the assignments are in recordable form.

In making the verification required by this Section 2.02(b), the Custodian has conclusively relied on the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached hereto, and the Custodian shall have no obligation to independently verify the correctness of such Mortgage Loan Schedule.

(c) It is understood that before delivering the Trust Receipt, the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, has examined the Mortgage Loan Documents to confirm the following (and shall report any exceptions to these confirmations in the Exceptions Report attached to the Trust Receipt):

(i) each mortgage note, mortgage, guaranty and deed of sale bears a signature or signatures that appear on their face to be original and that purport to be that of the Person or Persons named as the maker and mortgagor/trustor or, if photocopies are permitted, that such copies bear a reproduction of such signature or signatures;

(ii) the mortgage and the assignment include the endorsement required pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Trustee Mortgage Loan File;

(iii) the original principal amount of the indebtedness secured by the mortgage is identical to the original principal amount of the mortgage note;

(iv) the interest rate shown on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is identical to the interest rate shown on the mortgage note;

(v) the assignment of the mortgage from the related Seller (or its affiliate, if applicable) to the Trustee is in the form required pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of Trustee Mortgage Loan File, and bears the signature of the related Seller (or its affiliate, if applicable) that appears to be an original or, if photocopies are permitted, such copies bear a reproduction of such signature or signatures; and

(vi) if intervening assignments are included in the Trustee Mortgage Loan File, each such intervening assignment bears the signature of the mortgagee and/or the Purchaser (and any subsequent assignors) that appears to be an original or, if photocopies are permitted, that such copies bear a reproduction of such signature or signatures.

(d) On or before November 30, 2008, each Custodian shall deliver to the Trustee (or any assignee of the Trustee) a Final Certification in the form of Exhibit B evidencing the completeness of such Trustee Mortgage Loan File for each related Mortgage Loan (provided, however, that such Custodian shall not be required nor does it intend to re-examine the contents of the Trustee Mortgage Loan File for any of the Mortgage Loans in connection with entering into this Agreement). An updated exceptions report for the Mortgage Loans shall be attached to such Custodian’s Final Certification to be delivered under this Section 2.02.

(e) Upon the written request of a Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee, no later than the fifth Business Day of each month, commencing in January 2008, each Custodian shall deliver to each related Servicer (or such other party responsible for recordation of any mortgages and/or assignments as specified in the related Sale and Servicing Agreement), GS Mortgage Securities Corp., as depositor, and the Trustee in hard copy format (and if requested, in electronic format), the exceptions list required by this Section 2.02, updated to remove exceptions cured since the date on which the applicable Custodial Receipt was issued. In addition, such monthly reports shall list any document with respect to which the applicable Seller delivered a copy certifying that the original had been sent for recording, until such time as the applicable Seller delivers to the applicable Custodian the original of such document or a copy thereof certified by the appropriate public recording office. The data collection schedule attached to each Trust Receipt shall not be included unless specifically requested in advance by such Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee. No Custodian shall be under a duty to review, inspect or examine such documents to determine that any of them are genuine, recordable, enforceable or appropriate for their prescribed purpose. During the term of this Agreement, in the event a Custodian discovers any nonconformity with the review set forth in this Section 2.02 with respect to such Trustee Mortgage Loan Files, such Custodian shall give written notice of such defect to such Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee.

(f) In lieu of the Trustee’s taking possession of the Trustee Mortgage Loan Files and reviewing such files itself, the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 9.11 hereof, appoint one or more Custodians to hold the Trustee Mortgage Loan Files on its behalf and to review them as provided in this Section 2.02. The Depositor shall, upon notice of the appointment of a Custodian, deliver or cause to be delivered all documents to such Custodian that would otherwise be deliverable to the Trustee. In such event, the Trustee shall obtain from each such Custodian, within the specified times, the Trust Receipt and the Final Certifications with respect to those Mortgage Loans held and reviewed by such Custodian and may deliver (or cause such Custodian to deliver) such Certifications and electronically deliver Reports to the Depositor in satisfaction of the Trustee’s obligation to prepare such Certifications and Reports (it being understood that absent actual knowledge to the contrary, the Trustee may conclusively rely on the certifications provided by such Custodian). The Trustee shall notify the applicable Custodian of any notices delivered to the Trustee with respect to those Trustee Mortgage Loan Files.

Section 2.03 Purchase of Mortgage Loans by a Servicer, a Seller, GSMC or the Depositor.

(a) Servicer Breach. In addition to taking any action required pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof, upon discovery by a Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee of any breach by any Servicer of any representation, warranty or covenant under the related Servicing Agreement, which breach materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein (it being understood that any such breach shall be deemed to have materially and adversely affected the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein if the Trust incurs or may incur a loss as a result of such breach), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other party. Upon discovery by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of such breach or receipt of notice thereof, the Trustee shall promptly request that such Servicer of such Mortgage Loan cure such breach, and if such Servicer does not cure such breach in all material respects by the end of the cure period set forth in the related Servicing Agreement, shall enforce such Servicer’s obligation under such Servicing Agreement to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if such breach results in or is a Qualification Defect, such cure, purchase or substitution must take place within 75 days of the Defect Discovery Date.

(b) Sellers’ Breach. Upon discovery by a Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee or notice to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee of any defective or missing document (as described in the related Sale Agreement) in a Trustee Mortgage Loan File, or of any breach by any Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under the related Sale Agreement, which defect or breach materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein (it being understood that any such defect or breach shall be deemed to have materially and adversely affected the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein if the Trust incurs a loss as a result of such defect or breach), the parties discovering or receiving notice of such defect or breach shall notify the Trustee. Upon discovering or receipt of notice of such breach, the Trustee shall promptly request that such Seller cure such breach and, if such Seller does not cure such defect or breach in all material respects by the end of the cure period specified in such Sale Agreement and any extension of the cure period granted as permitted by such Sale Agreement, shall enforce such Seller’s obligation under such Sale Agreement to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee.

In the event any Servicer has breached a representation or warranty under the related Servicing Agreement that is substantially identical to a representation or warranty breached by a Seller, the Trustee shall first proceed against such Servicer. If such Servicer does not within 60 days (or such other period provided in the related Servicing Agreement) after notification of the breach, either take steps to cure such breach (which may be evidenced by a certificate asking for an extension of time in which to effectuate a cure) or complete the purchase of the Mortgage Loan, then (i) the Trustee, shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the related Sale Agreement to cure such breach or to purchase the Mortgage Loan from the Trust, and (ii) such Seller shall succeed to the rights of the Trustee to enforce the obligations of the Servicer to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan under the Servicing Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if any breach of a representation or warranty by the Servicer or of a Seller is a Qualification Defect, a cure or purchase must take place within 75 days of the Defect Discovery Date.

(c) GSMC Breach. Upon its discovery or notice to it of any breach by GSMC of any representation, warranty or covenant under any Assignment Agreement which materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein (it being understood that any such defect or breach shall be deemed to have materially and adversely affected the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein if the Trust incurs a loss as a result of such defect or breach), the Trustee shall promptly request that GSMC cure such breach and, if GSMC does not cure such breach in all material respects within 90 days from the date on which it is notified of the breach, shall enforce GSMC’s obligation under such Assignment Agreement to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee.

(d) Depositor Breach. Within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or receipt of notice by the Depositor of the breach of any of its representations or warranties set forth in Section 2.04 hereof with respect to any Mortgage Loan, which breach materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein (it being understood that any such defect or breach shall be deemed to have materially and adversely affected the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein if the Trust incurs a loss as a result of such defect or breach), the Depositor shall (i) cure such breach in all material respects, or (ii) purchase the Mortgage Loan from the Trustee.

In the event the Depositor has breached a representation or warranty under Section 2.04 hereof that is substantially identical to a representation or warranty breached by a Servicer or Seller, the Trustee shall first proceed against the applicable Servicer or Seller, as appropriate. If such Servicer or Seller, as appropriate, does not within the cure period set forth in the related Sale Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable, either take steps to cure such breach (which may be evidenced by a certificate asking for an extension of time in which to effectuate a cure) or complete the purchase of or substitution for the Mortgage Loan, then (i) the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Depositor to cure such breach or to purchase the Mortgage Loan from the Trust, and (ii) the Depositor shall succeed to the rights of the Trustee to enforce the obligations of such Servicer or Seller to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan under the related Servicing Agreement or Sale Agreement, as applicable, with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if any breach of a representation or warranty by the Depositor is a Qualification Defect, a cure or purchase must take place within 75 days of the Defect Discovery Date.

(e) Purchase Price. The purchase of any Mortgage Loan from the Trust pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be effected for its Purchase Price. If the Purchaser is the related Servicer, the Purchase Price shall be deposited in the Collection Account. If the Purchaser is other than such Servicer, an amount equal to the Purchase Price shall be deposited into the Certificate Account. Within five Business Days of its receipt of such funds or certification by the appropriate Servicer that such funds have been deposited in the related Collection Account, the Trustee shall release or cause the related Servicer to cause the applicable Custodian to release to the Purchaser or its designee the related Trustee Mortgage Loan File and, at the request of the Purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, in form as presented by the Purchaser and satisfactory to the Trustee, as shall be necessary to vest in the Purchaser title to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Trustee Mortgage Loan File.

(f) Determination of Purchase Price. The Securities Administrator will be responsible for determining the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan that is sold by the Trust or with respect to which provision is made for the escrow of funds pursuant to this Section 2.03 and shall at the time of any purchase or escrow certify such amounts to the Depositor; provided that the Securities Administrator may consult with the Servicer to determine the Purchase Price unless such Servicer is the Purchaser of such Mortgage Loan. If, for whatever reason, the Securities Administrator shall determine that there is a miscalculation of the amount to be paid to the Trust, the Securities Administrator shall from monies in a Distribution Account return any overpayment that the Trust received as a result of such miscalculation to the applicable Purchaser upon the discovery of such overpayment, and the Securities Administrator shall collect from the applicable Purchaser for deposit to the Securities Account any underpayment that resulted from such miscalculation upon the discovery of such underpayment. Recovery may be made either directly or by set-off of all or any part of such underpayment against amounts owed by the Trust to such Purchaser.

(g) Qualification Defect. If (A) any person required to cure or purchase under subsections 2.03(a), 2.03(b), 2.03(c) or 2.03(d) of these Standard Terms or under a separate agreement for a Mortgage Loan affected by a Qualification Defect fails to perform within the earlier of (1) 75 days of the Defect Discovery Date or (2) the time limit set forth in those subsections or that separate agreement or (B) no person is obligated to cure or purchase a Mortgage Loan affected by a Qualification Defect, the Trustee shall dispose of such Mortgage Loan in such manner and for such price as the Trustee determines are appropriate, provided that the removal of such Mortgage Loan occurs no later than the 90th day from the Defect Discovery Date. If the Servicer is not the person required to cure or repurchase the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee may consult with such Servicer to determine an appropriate manner of disposition for and price for such Mortgage Loan. It is the express intent of the parties that a Mortgage Loan affected by a Qualification Defect be removed from the Trust by the 90th day from the Defect Discovery Date so that the related REMIC(s) will continue to qualify as a REMIC. Accordingly, the Trustee is not required to sell an affected Mortgage Loan for its fair market value nor shall the Trustee be required to make up any shortfall resulting from the sale of such Mortgage Loan. The person failing to perform under subsections 2.03(a), 2.03(b), 2.03(c) or 2.03(d) of these Standard Terms shall be liable to the Trust for (i) any difference between (A) the Unpaid Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the Note Rate to the date of disposition and (B) the net amount received by the Trustee from the disposition (after the payment of related expenses), (ii) interest on such difference at the Note Rate (less the Administrative Cost Rate) from the date of disposition to the date of payment and (iii) any legal and other expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Trust in seeking such payments. The Trustee shall pursue the legal remedies of the Trust on the Trust’s behalf and the Trust shall reimburse the Trustee for any legal or other expenses of the Trustee related to such pursuit not recovered from such person.

(h) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Sale Agreement, and notwithstanding Section 2.03(b) hereof, if a Seller concludes at the end of any applicable cure period (and any extension thereof) that a document required to be included in the Trustee Mortgage Loan File cannot be found or replaced, the Seller may, in lieu of immediately repurchasing the related Mortgage Loan, provide (a) a Lost Document Affidavit and (b) an Opinion of Counsel that the missing document does not constitute a Qualification Defect. In that event, the Trustee shall not require such Seller immediately to repurchase the Mortgage Loan, but, if at any time there is any loss, liability, or damage, including reasonable attorney’s fees, resulting from the unavailability of any originals of any such documents or of a complete chain of intervening endorsements, as the case may be (collectively, “Losses”), the Trustee shall enforce the Seller’s obligation to indemnify the Trust for such Losses. Expenses of the Trustee related to such enforcement not recovered from the Seller shall be reimbursed by the Trust.

(i) Notices. Any Person required under this Section 2.03 to give notice or to make a request of another Person to give notice shall give such notice or make such request promptly.

(j) No Other Enforcement Obligation. Except as specifically set forth herein, none of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall have any responsibility to enforce any provision of a Sale Agreement, Servicing Agreement or Assignment Agreement assigned to it hereunder, to oversee compliance thereof, or to take notice of any breach or default thereof. No successor servicer shall have any obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan except to the extent specifically set forth in the Servicing Agreement signed by such substitute servicer.

The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee that as of the Closing Date or as of such other date specifically provided herein:

Section 3.01 The Collection Accounts; the Master Servicer Account; the Distribution Accounts and the Certificate Account.

(a) Servicer and Master Servicer Remittances.

(i) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Servicers shall have established one or more separate Collection Accounts as provided in the related Servicing Agreement, each of which shall be an Eligible Account. All Monthly Payments and other amounts collected by each Servicer on the Mortgage Loans, shall, to the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement, be deposited by such Servicer within one Business Day of receipt (or within 2 Business Days in the case of Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) into the related Collection Account.

(ii) On each Servicer Remittance Date, each Servicer is required to remit to the Master Servicer all payments received during the related Due Period or Prepayment Period in respect of the Mortgage Loans serviced by it, less certain deductions as described herein and in each Servicing Agreement.

The amounts remitted by the Servicers to the Master Servicer shall be credited to the Master Servicer Account.

(iii) On each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall remit to the Securities Administrator the amounts received from the Servicers on the related Servicer Remittance Date, net of any fees, expenses and other amounts payable to the Master Servicer hereunder. The amounts remitted by the Master Servicer to the Securities Administrator will be credited to the REMIC I Distribution Account which will be established and maintained by the Securities Administrator.

(iv) On each Distribution Date, amounts on deposit in the REMIC I Distribution Account (net of any expenses payable to the Securities Administrator under Section 11.04 hereof or to the Trustee under Section 9.05 hereof) will be allocated by the Securities Administrator to pay amounts due on the REMIC I Interests, in accordance with Section 3.01 of the Trust Agreement. Such amounts will then be passed through the REMIC II Distribution Account and to the Certificate Account for distribution to the Certificateholders in accordance with Section 3.01 of the Trust Agreement.

(b) Accounts. The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain one or more Eligible Accounts in its own name in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The account held by the REMIC that directly owns the Mortgage Loans shall be the “REMIC I Distribution Account” which account may be a sub-account of the Certificate Account and the account held by the REMIC that owns all interests in REMIC I shall be the “REMIC II Distribution Account” which account may be a sub-account of the Certificate Account. In addition, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain an account for the benefit of the Certificateholders into which it shall deposit all amounts to be distributed on each Distribution Date (the “Certificate Account”). Each such account shall be an Eligible Account. On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall deposit into the REMIC I Distribution Account the following amounts, to the extent not previously deposited therein:

(i) all amounts remitted by the Master Servicer to the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(iii);

(ii) all Monthly Advances made pursuant to Section 3.05; and

(iii) the amount (if any) required to effect a redemption in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement and received from the Master Servicer or the Depositor.

(c) Deposits. In the event a Servicer or the Securities Administrator has remitted to the Master Servicer Account or to the REMIC I Distribution Account, respectively, in error, any amount not required to be remitted in accordance with the definition of Available Distribution Amount, such party may at any time direct the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, to withdraw such amount from such account for repayment to such Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, by delivery of an Officer’s Certificate to the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator which describes the amount deposited in error and the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall withdraw such amount from the Master Servicer Account or the REMIC I Distribution Account, as applicable, and pay such amount as directed, but only to the extent it agrees that the amount so described was deposited in error.

(d) Withdrawal. On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall transfer the Available Distribution Amount on deposit in the REMIC I Distribution Account to the REMIC II Distribution Account and then to the Certificate Account in accordance with the amounts set forth in the statement prepared pursuant to Section 4.01 and shall distribute such amounts to holders of the Regular Interests and Residual Interest of the applicable REMICs, in accordance with Article III of the Trust Agreement, in the order of priority set forth therein.

(e) Accounting. The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting (to the extent provided to it by each Servicer), on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any payment to and from the Master Servicer Account. No later than 21 days after each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall, upon written request, forward to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator, a statement setting forth the balance of the Master Servicer Account as of the close of business on the last day of the month of the Distribution Date and showing, for the one calendar month covered by the statement, any deposits and or withdrawals from the Master Servicer Account.

(f) Investments by the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator. Other than during the Master Servicer Float Period, the Depositor shall direct the investment of funds received by 2 p.m. eastern standard time on the Servicer Remittance Date in one or more Permitted Investments. Absent such direction, the Securities Administrator shall invest such funds during such period in the Xxxxxxx Sachs Financial Square Prime Obligation Fund 426 or any successor fund so long as such fund is a Permitted Investment. The Securities Administrator may (but shall not be obligated to) invest funds in the Master Servicer Account during the Master Servicer Float Period (for purposes of this Section 3.01(f), such Account is referred to as an “Investment Account”), in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, or maturing on such Distribution Date, in the case of an investment that is an obligation of Xxxxx Fargo, no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Securities Administrator. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to sole possession over each such investment, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Securities Administrator or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Securities Administrator. All income and gain realized from any such investment of amounts in the Investment Account shall be for the benefit of the Securities Administrator and shall be subject to its withdrawal on order from time to time. In the event of a loss or reduction in the amount to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the Securities Administrator on the Master Servicer Remittance Date or the amount to be remitted by the Securities Administrator on the Distribution Date because of a loss on a Permitted Investment, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall be required to deposit the amount of such loss into the Master Servicer Account or the Certificate Account, as applicable, within one Business Day of realization of such loss from its own funds without reimbursement.

(g) Compensating Interest. The amount of the Master Servicing Fee payable to the Master Servicer in respect of any Distribution Date shall be reduced by the amount of any Compensating Interest Payment for such Distribution Date, but only to the extent such Compensating Interest Payment is not actually made by a Servicer on the applicable Servicer Remittance Date. Such amount shall not be treated as an Advance and shall not be reimbursable to the Master Servicer.

Section 3.02 Filings with the Commission.

(a) As further set forth in Section 8.01(e), the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall deliver (and the Master Servicer and Securities Administrator shall cause any Additional Servicer engaged by it to deliver) to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator on or before March 15 of each year, commencing in March 2008, an officer’s certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H and Exhibit I hereto, respectively, stating, as to the signer thereof, that (i) a review of such party’s activities during the preceding calendar year or portion thereof and of such party’s performance under this Agreement, or such other applicable agreement in the case of an Additional Servicer, has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, such party has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement, or such other applicable agreement in the case of an Additional Servicer, in all material respects throughout such year or portion thereof, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Promptly after receipt of each such officer’s certificate, the Depositor shall review such officer’s certificate and consult with each such party, as applicable, as to the nature of any failures by such party, in the fulfillment of any of such party’s obligations hereunder or, in the case of an Additional Servicer, under such other applicable agreement.

The Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to receive on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Form 10-K requires the registrant to indicate (by checking “yes” or “no”) that it “(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days.” The Depositor hereby represents to the Securities Administrator that the Depositor has filed all such required reports during the preceding 12 months and that it has been subject to such filing requirement for the past 90 days.

In the event that the Securities Administrator becomes aware that it will be unable to timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K required to be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement or for any other reason, the Securities Administrator will immediately notify the Depositor. In the case of Form 10-D and 10-K, the parties to this Agreement will cooperate and cause such other Servicers or Servicing Function Participants, as applicable, to cooperate, to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a 10-D/A and 10-K/A, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure information on the next Form 10-D. In the event that any previously filed Form 10-D or 10-K needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator shall notify the Depositor and prepare any necessary 10-D/A or 10-K/A.

The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 3.02(e) related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is contingent upon each such party performing its duties under this Section. The Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to receive on a timely basis, any information from or on behalf of any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(f) Each Form 10-K shall include a Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification, required to be included therewith pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. Each Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to provide to the Person who signs the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification (the “Certifying Person”), by March 15 of each year in which the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and otherwise within a reasonable period of time upon request, a certification (each, a “Back-Up Certification”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I, upon which the Certifying Person, the entity for which the Certifying Person acts as an officer, and such entity’s officers, directors and Affiliates (collectively with the Certifying Person, “Certification Parties”) can reasonably rely.

In the event the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by parties is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any applicable sub-servicing agreement, as the case may be, such party shall provide a Back-Up Certification to the Certifying Person pursuant to this Section 3.02(f) with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or any applicable sub-servicing agreement, as the case may be.

The Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the Servicers, to the extent set forth in the related Servicing Agreement, to deliver to the Master Servicer a certification similar to the Back-Up Certification within the time frame set forth in, and in such form and substance as may be required pursuant to, the related Servicing Agreement.

(g) The Securities Administrator shall promptly file, and exercise its reasonable best efforts to obtain a favorable response to, no-action requests, or other appropriate exemptive relief with the Commission seeking the usual and customary exemption from such reporting requirements granted to issuers of securities similar to the Certificates if and to the extent the Depositor shall deem any such relief to be necessary or appropriate. Unless otherwise advised by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator shall assume that the Depositor is in compliance with the preceding sentence. In no event shall the Securities Administrator have any liability for the execution or content of any document required to be filed by the 1934 Act. The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Securities Administrator, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports, and financial statements within its control related to the Trust Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the Depositor reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission.

Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, any Servicer may submit a Request for Release to have delivered to it the related Trustee Mortgage Loan File and a release of the Mortgaged Premises from the lien of the Mortgage.

Any Servicer may execute a written certification to have delivered to it, pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Premises or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Borrower on the Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity.

Section 3.04 Amendments to Servicing Agreement.

Each Servicing Agreement may be amended or supplemented from time to time by the related Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee without the consent of any of the Certificateholders to (a) cure any ambiguity, (b) correct or supplement any provisions therein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein, (c) modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or appropriate to maintain the qualification of the Trust (or certain assets thereof) as one or more REMICs, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding or (d) make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under such Servicing Agreement or matters arising with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans which are not covered by such Servicing Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of such Servicing Agreement, provided that such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder. Any such amendment or supplement shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect any Certificateholder if there is delivered to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator written notification from each Rating Agency that rated the applicable Certificates to the effect that such amendment or supplement will not cause that Rating Agency to reduce or qualify the then current rating assigned to such Certificates, as well as an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the applicable Servicer) that such amendment or supplement will not result in the loss by the Trust or the assets thereof of REMIC status or result in the imposition of any taxes on the Trust or any REMIC.

Each Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the related Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of such Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (A) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (B) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates, or (C) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, unless each Holder of a Certificate affected by such amendment consents. For purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 3.04, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or an Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such Certificates.

Upon delivery of a written request to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and/or the Master Servicer together with a certification from the related Servicer that any such amendment or supplement is permitted hereby, the Securities Administrator and Trustee shall join in any such amendment or supplement.

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Securities Administrator shall notify each Certificateholder and the Master Servicer of such amendment and, upon written request, shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 3.04 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Securities Administrator may prescribe. Prior to consenting to any amendment pursuant to this Section 3.04, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the applicable Servicer) that such amendment is authorized and permitted pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement and the applicable Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.05 Monthly Advances by Master Servicer or Trustee.

(a) Under the terms of each Servicing Agreement, on the Business Day prior to each Servicer Remittance Date, the related Servicer is obligated to make a Monthly Advance with respect to any delinquencies as of the related Distribution Date, unless such Servicer furnishes to the Master Servicer, an Officer’s Certificate evidencing the determination by such Servicer, in its reasonable judgment, that such Monthly Advance would be non-recoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or otherwise with respect to such Mortgage Loan (a “Non-Recoverability Certificate”). If (i) a Servicer reports a delinquency on a Remittance Report, and (ii) such Servicer, by 11:00 a.m. (New York Time) on the related Distribution Date, neither makes a Monthly Advance nor provides the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, with a Non-Recoverability Certificate with respect to such delinquency, then subject to paragraph (b) below, the Master Servicer shall deposit, from its own funds, on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the amount of such Monthly Advance not made by the Servicer into the Certificate Account for distribution to Certificateholders as provided in the Trust Agreement. If the Master Servicer fails to make a Monthly Advance as required by the preceding sentence, then the Securities Administrator shall notify the Trustee of such failure, and the Trustee (as successor to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.06) shall deposit, from its own funds, on the Distribution Date, the amount of such Monthly Advance into the Certificate Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.06), in their reasonable judgment, determine that such Monthly Advance would be non-recoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or otherwise with respect to such Mortgage Loan, then neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee, as applicable, shall be obligated to make such Monthly Advance.

(b) Each Servicer is obligated under the applicable Servicing Agreement to remit to the Master Servicer the required remittance on each Servicer Remittance Date. If (i) a Servicer fails to remit such remittance on any Servicer Remittance Date and (ii) such failure is not cured by 11 a.m. (New York Time) on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date, then, to the extent permitted by the related Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall withdraw the amount of such required remittance from such Collection Account, to the extent that such amount is on deposit in such Collection Account, and shall deposit such amount in the Certificate Account.

(c) All Monthly Advances (together with, in the case of the Master Servicer and the Trustee, interest thereon at a rate equal to the prevailing Prime Rate plus 2.0%) shall be reimbursable to the related Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, on a first priority basis from deposits to the Collection Account of late collections, Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds from the related Mortgage Loan as to which a Monthly Advance has been made. The Master Servicer or the Trustee’s right to reimbursement as provided in this paragraph (c) shall not negate its obligation to continue to make Monthly Advances as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.05. To the extent Monthly Advances are not recoverable as set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph (c), the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall be entitled to recover such Monthly Advances as provided in Section 3.01(b).

(d) To the extent that any Servicer is required to pay penalty interest pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement, and the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes any Monthly Advance, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, in its individual capacity shall be entitled to retain such penalty interest.

Section 3.06 Enforcement of Servicing Agreement.

Subject to Article VIII hereof, the Master Servicer agrees to comply with the terms of each Servicing Agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the related Servicer for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

(xxii) the Senior Percentages, the Senior Prepayment Percentages, the Subordinate Percentages and the Subordinate Prepayment Percentages, if any, for such Distribution Date.

In the case of information furnished pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) above, the amounts shall be expressed, with respect to any Certificate, as a dollar amount per $1,000 denomination; provided, however, that if any Class of Certificates does not have a Certificate Balance, then the amounts shall be expressed as a dollar amount per 10% Percentage Interest.

In addition to the Distribution Statement that includes the information listed above, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file a statement including such other information as is required by Form 10-D, including, but not limited to, the information required by Item 1121 (§229.1121) of Regulation AB.

In addition to the Distribution Statement specified above, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and make available to each Certificateholder (with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) below) and each Holder of a Residual Certificate (with respect to clauses (iii) and (iv) below), if any, on each Distribution Date a statement setting forth: (i) in the case of a Trust with respect to which one or more REMIC elections have been or will be made, any reports required to be provided to Holders by the REMIC Provisions; (ii) such other customary information as the Securities Administrator deems necessary or desirable, or which a Certificateholder reasonably requests, to enable Certificateholders to prepare their tax returns; (iii) the amounts actually distributed with respect to the Residual Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date; and (iv) the aggregate Certificate Balance, if any, of the Residual Certificates of such Class after giving effect to any distribution made on such Distribution Date, separately identifying the amount of Realized Losses allocated to such Residual Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date.

Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and furnish a statement, containing the information set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above (based on information provided by the Master Servicer), to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Holder that requests such statement, aggregated for such calendar year or portion thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Securities Administrator shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time are in force.

Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and shall furnish to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Holder of a Residual Certificate a statement, upon request, containing the information provided pursuant to the second preceding paragraph aggregated for such calendar year thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Securities Administrator shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Securities Administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time are in force.

Section 4.02 Remittance Reports and other Reports from the Servicers.

To the extent received from any Servicer and the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator shall make the information in each Remittance Report available to the Depositor, the Trustee, or any Certificateholder upon written request therefor. In addition, upon written request from the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or any Certificateholder (such party, the “Requesting Party”), the Securities Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each Servicer and subsequently provide to the Requesting Party any other reports or information that may be obtained by the Securities Administrator from any Servicer pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that if the Securities Administrator incurs costs pursuant to the Servicing Agreement with respect to any particular request, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Requesting Party for such costs, together with any other reasonable costs incurred by it for obtaining or delivering the reports or information specified by such request. Upon the request of the Depositor, if permitted pursuant to a Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall request, on an annual basis beginning one year after the Closing Date, copies of the related Servicer’s internal quality control reports (it being understood that the Master Servicer shall have no responsibility for, or be deemed to have, constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable therefrom). Neither the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator nor any agent of the Securities Administrator shall be under any duty to recalculate, verify or recompute the information provided to it under any Servicing Agreement by the applicable Servicer.

Section 4.03 Compliance with Withholding Requirements.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Trust Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments of interest or principal to the extent of accrued original issue discount on Certificates to each Holder of such Certificates who (a) is not a “United States person,” within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(30), (b) fails to furnish its TIN to the Securities Administrator, (c) furnishes the Securities Administrator an incorrect TIN, (d) fails to report properly interest and dividends, (e) under certain circumstances, fails to provide the Securities Administrator or the Certificateholder’s securities broker with a certified statement, signed under penalties of perjury, that the TIN provided by such Certificateholder to the Securities Administrator or such broker is correct and that the Certificateholder is not subject to backup withholding or (f) otherwise fails to satisfy any applicable certification requirements relating to the withholding tax. The consent of such a Certificateholder shall not be required for such withholding. In the event the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, does withhold the amount of any otherwise required distribution from interest payments on the Mortgage Loans (including principal payments to the extent of accrued original issue discount) or Monthly Advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Securities Administrator shall indicate with any payments to such Certificateholders the amount withheld. In addition, if any United States federal income tax is due at the time a Non-U.S. Person transfers a Residual Certificate, the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, or other Withholding Agent may (1) withhold an amount equal to the taxes due upon disposition of such Residual Certificate from future distributions made with respect to such Residual Certificate to the transferee thereof (after giving effect to the withholding of taxes imposed on such transferee), and (2) pay the withheld amount to the Internal Revenue Service unless satisfactory written evidence of payment by the transferor of the taxes due has been provided to the Securities Administrator or such Withholding Agent. Moreover, the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, or other Withholding Agent may (1) hold distributions on a Residual Certificate, without interest, pending determination of amounts to be withheld, (2) withhold other amounts, if any, required to be withheld pursuant to United States federal income tax law from distributions that otherwise would be made to such transferee on each Residual Certificate that it holds, and (3) pay to the Internal Revenue Service all such amounts withheld.

Section 4.04 Reports of Certificate Balances to The Depository Trust Company.

If and for so long as any Certificate is held by The Depository Trust Company, on each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall give notice to The Depository Trust Company (and shall promptly thereafter confirm in writing) the following: (a) the amount to be reported pursuant to clause (c) and (d) of each statement provided to Holders of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01 in respect of the next succeeding distribution, (b) the Record Date for such distribution, (c) the Distribution Date for such distribution and (d) the aggregate Certificate Balance of each Class of Certificates to be reported pursuant to clause (i) of the first paragraph of Section 4.01 in such month.

Section 4.05 Preparation of Regulatory Reports.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Securities Administrator has not assumed, and shall not by its performance hereunder be deemed to have assumed, any of the duties or obligations of the Depositor or any other Person with respect to (a) the registration of the Certificates pursuant to the Securities Act, (b) the issuance or sale of the Certificates, or (c) compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any offering circular, applicable federal or state securities or other laws including, without limitation, any requirement to update the registration statement or prospectus relating to the Certificates in order to render the same not materially misleading to investors.

Section 4.06 Management and Disposition of REO Property.

The Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of each Servicer under any Servicing Agreement to dispose of any REO Property acquired by such Servicer on behalf of the Trust before the end of the third calendar year following the calendar year in which the related REO Property was acquired; provided that the Master Servicer shall waive such requirement if the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator (a) receive an Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the party requesting such Opinion of Counsel) indicating that, under then-current law, the REMIC may hold such REO Property for a period longer than three years without threatening the REMIC status of any related REMIC or causing the imposition of a tax upon any such REMIC or (b) such Servicer applies for and is granted an extension of such three year period pursuant to Code Sections 860G(a)(8) and 856(e)(3) (the applicable period provided pursuant to such Opinion of Counsel or such Code Section being referred to herein as an “Extended Holding Period”). In that event, the Master Servicer shall direct such Servicer to sell any REO Property remaining after such date in an auction before the end of the Extended Holding Period.

ARTICLE V

THE INTERESTS AND THE SECURITIES

Section 5.01 REMIC Interests.

The Trust Agreement will set forth the terms of the Regular Interests and Residual Interest of each REMIC. Unless otherwise specified in the Trust Agreement, (a) the Regular Interests in each REMIC will be “regular interests” for purposes of the REMIC Provisions; (b) the Trustee will be the owner of the Regular Interests in any REMIC held by another REMIC formed pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, and such Regular Interests may not be transferred to any person other than a successor trustee appointed pursuant to Section 8.07 hereof unless the party desiring the transfer obtains a Special Tax Opinion; and (c) such Regular Interests will be represented by the respective Interests.

Section 5.02 The Certificates.

The Certificates shall be designated in the Trust Agreement. The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Estate. On the Closing Date, the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Certificates will equal the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed to the Trust Agreement. Unless otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement, the Certificates of each Class will be issuable in registered form, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the related Class.

Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed by the Trustee and delivered by the Securities Administrator and the Securities Administrator shall cause the Certificates to be authenticated by the Certificate Registrar to or upon the order of the Depositor upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents specified in Section 2.01. The Certificates shall be executed and attested by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized Officer under its seal imprinted thereon. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper Officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided in the Trust Agreement executed by the Certificate Registrar by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their execution.

Section 5.03 Book-Entry Certificates.

(a) The Book-Entry Certificates will be represented initially by one or more certificates registered in the name designated by the Clearing Agency. The Depositor and the Securities Administrator may for all intents and purposes (including the making of payments on the Book-Entry Certificates) deal with the Clearing Agency as the authorized representative of the Beneficial Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for as long as those Certificates are registered in the name of the Clearing Agency. The rights of Beneficial Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited by law to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the Clearing Agency and Clearing Agency Participants. The Beneficial Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates shall not be entitled to certificates for the Book-Entry Certificates as to which they are the Beneficial Owners, except as provided in subsection (c) below. Requests and directions from, and votes of, the Clearing Agency, as Holder, shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Beneficial Owners. Without the consent of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, a Book-Entry Certificate may not be transferred by the Clearing Agency except to another Clearing Agency that agrees to hold the Book-Entry Certificate for the account of the respective Clearing Agency Participants and Beneficial Owners.

(b) Neither the Depositor, the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator will have any liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payment made on account of Beneficial Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates held by the Clearing Agency, for monitoring or restricting any transfer of beneficial ownership in a Book-Entry Certificate or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such Beneficial Owners.

(c) A Book-Entry Certificate will be registered in fully registered, certificated form to Beneficial Owners of Book-Entry Certificates or their nominees, rather than to the Clearing Agency or its nominee, if (a) the Depositor advises the Securities Administrator and Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates, and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor within 30 days, (b) the Depositor, at its option, elects to terminate the book-entry system operating through the Clearing Agency or (c) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficial Owners representing at least a majority of the aggregate outstanding Certificate Balance of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Clearing Agency in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners. Upon the occurrence of any such event, the Securities Administrator shall notify the Clearing Agency, which in turn will notify all Beneficial Owners of Book-Entry Certificates through Clearing Agency Participants, of the availability of certificated Certificates. Upon surrender by the Clearing Agency or the Book-Entry Custodian of the certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates and receipt of instructions for re-registration, the Securities Administrator will reissue the Book-Entry Certificates as certificated Certificates to the Beneficial Owners identified in writing by the Clearing Agency. Neither the Depositor, the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of such instructions and may rely conclusively on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Such certificated Certificates shall not constitute Book-Entry Certificates. All reasonable costs associated with the preparation and delivery of certificated Certificates shall be borne by the Trust.

(d) The Securities Administrator is hereby initially appointed as Book-Entry Custodian with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates, and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Clearing Agency authorizing it to act as such (it being understood that should any conflict arise between the provisions hereof and the provisions of the agreement between the Securities Administrator and the Clearing Agency, the agreement with the Clearing Agency will control). The Book-Entry Custodian may, and, if it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor and, if the Securities Administrator is not the Book-Entry Custodian, the Securities Administrator, any other transfer agent (including the Clearing Agency or any successor Clearing Agency) to act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the Clearing Agency or any successor Clearing Agency may prescribe; provided that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by reason of such appointment of other than the Clearing Agency. If the Securities Administrator resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor securities administrator, or, if it so elects, the Clearing Agency shall immediately succeed to its predecessor’s duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian.

Section 5.04 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

The Securities Administrator shall cause to be kept at its Corporate Trust Office a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Securities Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Securities Administrator will initially serve as Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Securities Administrator may appoint any other Person to act as Certificate Registrar hereunder.

Subject to Section 5.05, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the Securities Administrator or at any other office or agency of the Securities Administrator maintained for such purpose, the Securities Administrator shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.

At the option of the Certificateholders, each Certificate may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with the same and authorized denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such Certificate to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator shall execute and cause the Certificate Registrar to authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Securities Administrator) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Certificates (except as provided in the Exchange Agreement), but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be destroyed by the Certificate Registrar.

The Securities Administrator will cause the Certificate Registrar (unless the Securities Administrator is acting as Certificate Registrar) to provide notice to the Securities Administrator of each transfer of a Certificate, and the Certificate Registrar will provide the Securities Administrator with an updated copy of the Certificate Register on January 1 and July 1 of each year.

Section 5.05 Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) No transfer of any Private Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. Any Holder of a Private Certificate shall, and, by acceptance of such Private Certificate, does agree to, indemnify the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Securities Administrator against any liability that may result if any transfer of such Certificates by such Holder is not exempt from registration under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. Neither the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar nor the Securities Administrator is obligated to register or qualify any Private Certificate under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without such registration or qualification. Neither the Certificate Registrar nor the Securities Administrator shall register any transfer of a Private Certificate (other than a Residual Certificate) unless and until the prospective transferee provides the Securities Administrator with an agreement certifying to facts which, if true, would mean that the proposed transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer (a “QIB Certificate”), or, if the Private Certificate to be transferred is not a Rule 144A Certificate, a Transferee Agreement, and in any case unless and until the transfer otherwise complies with the provisions of this Section 5.05. If so provided in the Trust Agreement, the prospective transferee will be deemed to have provided a QIB Certificate upon acceptance of the Certificate. If a proposed transfer does not involve a Rule 144A Certificate, the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall require that the transferor and transferee certify as to the factual basis for the registration exemption(s) relied upon, and if the transfer is made within two years of the acquisition thereof by a non-Affiliate of the Depositor from the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, or the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar also may require an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made without registration or qualification under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the Securities Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no QIB Certificate, Transferee Agreement or Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the initial transfer of the Private Certificates and no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the transfer of the Private Certificates by a broker or dealer, if such broker or dealer was the initial transferee.

(b) Any Private Certificate sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global Certificates in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons with the applicable legends set forth in Exhibit A to the Trust Agreement added to the forms of such Certificates (each, a “Regulation S Global Security”), which shall be deposited on behalf of the subscribers for such Certificates represented thereby with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC and registered in the name of a nominee of DTC, duly executed and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amounts of the Regulation S Global Securities may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee or DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as hereinafter provided.

(c) By acceptance of a Rule 144A Certificate or a Regulation S Global Security, whether upon original issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such a Certificate acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate set forth thereon and agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only as provided herein. In addition, each Holder of a Regulation S Global Security shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor and any of their respective successors that: (i) such Person is not a U.S. person within the meaning of Regulation S and was, at the time the buy order was originated, outside the United States and (ii) such Person understands that such Certificates have not been registered under the Securities Act, and that (x) until the expiration of the 40-day distribution compliance period (within the meaning of Regulation S), no offer, sale, pledge or other transfer of such Certificates or any interest therein shall be made in the United States or to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person (each as defined in Regulation S), (y) if in the future it decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer such Certificates, such Certificates may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (A) to a person which the seller reasonably believes is a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) as defined in Rule 144A, that is purchasing such Certificates for its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer to which notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (B) in an offshore transaction (as defined in Regulation S) in compliance with the provisions of Regulation S, in each case in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement; and it will notify such transferee of the transfer restrictions specified in this Section.

The Depositor (or, upon direction of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, which directions shall specify the information to be provided, and at the expense of the Depositor or the Securities Administrator) shall provide to any Holder of a Rule 144A Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by such Holder information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Rule 144A Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a global security representing any Private Certificate remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of DTC, transfers of a global security representing any such Certificates, in whole or in part, shall only be made in accordance with this Section 5.05(d).

(A)

Subject to clauses (B) and (C) of this Section 5.05(d), transfers of a global security representing any Private Certificate shall be limited to transfers of such global security, in whole or in part, to nominees of DTC or to a successor of DTC or such successor’s nominee.

(B)

Rule 144A Certificate to Regulation S Global Security. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Certificate deposited with or on behalf of DTC wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Rule 144A Certificate for an interest in a Regulation S Global Security, or to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Regulation S Global Security, such holder, provided such holder or proposed transferee is not a U.S. person, may, subject to the rules and procedures of DTC, exchange or cause the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security. Upon receipt by the Securities Administrator, as Certificate Registrar, of (I) instructions from DTC directing the Securities Administrator, as Certificate Registrar, to be credited a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Certificate to be exchanged but not less than the minimum denomination applicable to such holder’s Certificates held through a Regulation S Global Security, (II) a written order given in accordance with DTC’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of DTC and, in the case of a transfer pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S, the Euroclear or Clearstream account to be credited with such increase and (III) a certificate in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest stating that the exchange or transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Securities, including that the holder is not a U.S. person, and pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S, the Securities Administrator, as Certificate Registrar, shall reduce the principal amount of the Rule 144A Certificate and increase the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Certificate to be exchanged, and shall instruct Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, concurrently with such reduction, to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Rule 144A Certificate.

(C)

Regulation S Global Security to Rule 144A Certificate. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security deposited with or on behalf of DTC wishes at any time to transfer its interest in such Regulation S Global Security to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Rule 144A Certificate, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of DTC, exchange or cause the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Certificate. Upon receipt by the Securities Administrator, as Certificate Registrar, of (I) instructions from DTC directing the Securities Administrator, as Certificate Registrar, to cause to be credited a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Certificate in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Security to be exchanged but not less than the minimum denomination applicable to such holder’s Certificates held through a Rule 144A Certificate, to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with DTC to be credited with such increase, and (II) a certificate in the form of Exhibit C-3 hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest and stating, among other things, that the Person transferring such interest in such Regulation S Global Security reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest in a Rule 144A Certificate is a QIB, is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any State of the United States or any other jurisdiction, then the Securities Administrator, as Certificate Registrar, will reduce the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security and increase the principal amount of the Rule 144A Certificate by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security to be transferred and the Securities Administrator, as Certificate Registrar, shall instruct DTC, concurrently with such reduction, to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Certificate equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security.

(D)

Other Exchanges. In the event that a global security is exchanged for Certificates in definitive registered form without interest coupons, pursuant to Section 5.03(c) hereof, such Certificates may be exchanged for one another only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions above (including certification requirements intended to insure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A, comply with Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) or are to non-U.S. persons in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act, as the case may be).

(E)

Restrictions on U.S. Transfers. Transfers of interests in the Regulation S Global Security to U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S) shall be limited to transfers made pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.05(d)(C).

(e) ERISA Restrictions. No Private Certificate (a “Certificated Subordinated Security”) or Residual Certificate shall be transferred unless the prospective transferee provides the Securities Administrator and Certificate Registrar with a properly completed Benefit Plan Affidavit.

Prior to the termination of any class of certificates which have the benefit of an interest rate cap agreement, each beneficial owner of a Certificate of such class or any interest therein, will be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of a such Certificate, or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan or (ii) the acquisition and holding of such Certificate are eligible for the exemptive relief available under the statutory exemption for nonfiduciary service providers under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code, Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 84-14, 90-1, 91-38, 95-60 or 96-23 or some other applicable exemption.

(f) Residual Certificates. No Residual Certificate (including any beneficial interest therein) may be transferred to a Disqualified Organization. In addition, no Residual Certificate (including any beneficial interest therein) may be transferred unless (i) the proposed transferee provides the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar with (A) a Residual Transferee Agreement, (B) if the proposed transferee is a U.S. Person, a U.S. Person Affidavit and Affidavit Pursuant to Sections 860D(a)(6)(A) and 860E(e)(4) of the Code, and (C) if the proposed transferee is a Non-U.S. Person, a Non-U.S. Person Affidavit and Affidavit Pursuant to Sections 860D(a)(6)(A) and 860E(e)(4) of the Code, and (ii) the interest transferred involves the entire interest in a Residual Certificate or an undivided interest therein (unless the transferor or the transferee provides the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar with an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be an expense of the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar, as applicable) that the transfer will not jeopardize the REMIC status of any related REMIC). Furthermore, if a proposed transfer involves a Rule 144A Certificate, the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall require the transferee to certify as to facts that, if true, would mean that the proposed transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer; and, if a proposed transfer involves a Private Certificate that is not a Rule 144A Certificate, (1) the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall require that the transferee certify as to the factual basis for the registration exemption(s) relied upon, and (2) if the transfer is made within two years from the acquisition of the Certificate by a non-Affiliate of the Depositor from the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar also may require an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made without registration or qualification under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar, as applicable. In any event, neither the Securities Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar shall effect any transfer of a Residual Certificate except upon notification of such transfer to the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the initial transfer of the Residual Certificates or their transfer by a broker or dealer, if such broker or dealer was the initial transferee. Notwithstanding the fulfillment of the prerequisites described above, the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may refuse to recognize any transfer to the extent necessary to avoid a risk of disqualification of any related REMIC as a REMIC or the imposition of a tax upon any such REMIC.

Upon notice to the Securities Administrator that any legal or beneficial interest in any portion of the Residual Certificates has been transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Disqualified Organization or agent thereof (including a broker, nominee, or middleman) in contravention of the foregoing restrictions, such transferee shall be deemed to hold the Residual Certificate in constructive trust for the last transferor who was not a Disqualified Organization or agent thereof, and such transferor shall be restored as the owner of such Residual Certificate as completely as if such transfer had never occurred, provided that the Securities Administrator may, but is not required to, recover any distributions made to such transferee with respect to the Residual Certificate and return such recovery to the transferor. The Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, agrees to furnish to the Internal Revenue Service and to any transferor of the Residual Certificate or such agent (within 60 days of the request therefor by the transferor or agent) such information necessary for the computation of the tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code and as otherwise may be required by the Code, including but not limited to the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions with respect to the Residual Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods after such transfer. At the election of the Securities Administrator, the cost to the Securities Administrator of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the transferor or such agent referred to above; however, the Securities Administrator shall not be excused from furnishing such information.

If a tax or a reporting cost is borne by any REMIC as a result of the transfer of a Residual Certificate or any beneficial interest therein in violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section, the transferor shall pay such tax or cost and, if such tax or cost is not so paid, the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall pay such tax or cost with amounts that otherwise would have been paid to the transferee of the Residual Certificate (or beneficial interest therein). In that event, neither the transferee nor the transferor shall have any right to seek repayment of such amounts from the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, any REMIC, or the other Holders of any of the Certificates, and none of such parties shall have any liability for payment of any such tax or reporting cost.

Section 5.06 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar, or the Securities Administrator and the Certificate Registrar receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual knowledge by the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall execute and cause the Certificate Registrar to authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and of like tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate pursuant to this Section, the Securities Administrator may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 5.07 Persons Deemed Owners.

All funds remitted by the Securities Administrator to any such Paying Agent for the purpose of making distributions shall be paid to Certificateholders on each Distribution Date and any amounts not so paid shall be returned on such Distribution Date to the Securities Administrator. The initial Paying Agent shall be Xxxxx Fargo Bank.

Section 6.01 Liability of the Depositor.

The Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by the Trust Agreement and undertaken by the Depositor under the Trust Agreement.

Section 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor.

Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in full effect its corporate existence, rights and franchises under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of the Trust Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under the Trust Agreement.

The Depositor may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, shall be the successor of the Depositor without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

ARTICLE VII

TERMINATION OF SERVICING ARRANGEMENTS

Section 7.01 Termination and Substitution of Servicer.

Upon the occurrence of any Servicer Event of Default for which any Servicer may be terminated pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, in accordance with Section 8.01(a) hereof, may, and shall, at the direction of the Certificateholders holding 66% of the Voting Rights, terminate such Servicing Agreement. The Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 66% of the Voting Rights of Certificates affected by a Servicer Event of Default may waive such Servicer Event of Default; provided, however, that (a) a Servicer Event of Default with respect to any Servicer’s obligation to make Monthly Advances may be waived only by all of the holders of the Certificates affected by such Servicer Event of Default and (b) no such waiver is permitted that would materially adversely affect any non-consenting Certificateholder. Subject to the conditions set forth below in this Section 7.01, the Master Servicer, at the direction of the Certificateholders holding 66% of the Voting Rights, shall, concurrently with such termination, either assume the duties of the terminated Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement or appoint another servicer to enter into such Servicing Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer may not terminate a Servicer without cause unless the Master Servicer or a successor servicer is appointed concurrently with such termination. There may be a transition period of not longer than ninety (90) days prior to the effective date of the servicing transfer to the successor Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, provided, however, that during such transition period, the Master Servicer or successor servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform the duties of the terminated Servicer in its capacity as successor servicer.

If the Master Servicer terminates a Servicer, the Master Servicer may name another mortgage loan service company and such mortgage loan service company shall be acceptable to each Rating Agency and such mortgage loan service company shall assume, satisfy, perform and carry out all liabilities, duties, responsibilities and obligations that are to be, or otherwise were to have been, satisfied, performed and carried out by such terminated Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement. Such successor servicer shall be a mortgage loan servicing institution, except in the case of Avelo Mortgage L.L.C., or any successor in interest, a net worth of at least $25,000,000. In the event that the Master Servicer cannot appoint a substitute servicer, it shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a substitute servicer meeting the foregoing requirements.

In the event any Servicer resigns or is terminated as provided above and the Master Servicer has not appointed a successor servicer (or no successor servicer has accepted such appointment) prior to the effective date of such resignation or termination, then the Master Servicer shall serve as successor servicer and shall succeed to, satisfy, perform and carry out all obligations which otherwise were to have been satisfied, performed and carried out by such Servicer under the terminated Servicing Agreement until another successor servicer has been appointed and has accepted its appointment. In no event shall the Master Servicer be deemed to have assumed the obligations of a Servicer to purchase any Mortgage Loan from the Trust pursuant to any Servicing Agreement or any obligations of a Servicer which were incurred thereunder prior to the date the Master Servicer assumes the obligations of the Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement. As compensation to the Master Servicer for any servicing obligations fulfilled or assumed by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to any servicing compensation to which such Servicer would have been entitled if the Servicing Agreement with such Servicer had not been terminated; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be (a) liable for any acts or omissions of the terminated Servicer, (b) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so under applicable law, (c) responsible for expenses of the terminated Servicer pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement or (d) obligated to deposit losses on any Permitted Investments directed by the terminated Servicer.

In no event shall the Master Servicer be deemed to have assumed the obligations of a Servicer to purchase any Mortgage Loan from the Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Servicer Event of Default shall occur and if the Servicer is to be terminated under this Section 7.01, the Master Servicer shall, by notice in writing to the applicable Servicer, which may be delivered by telecopy, immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of such Servicer thereafter arising under the applicable Servicing Agreement, but without prejudice to any rights it may have as a Certificateholder or to reimbursement of Advances and other advances of its own funds, and the Master Servicer shall act as provided in this Section 7.01 to carry out the duties of such Servicer, including the obligation to make any Advance the nonpayment of which was a Servicer Event of Default. Any such action taken by the Master Servicer must be prior to the distribution of the relevant Distribution Date. The Servicer being terminated as a result of an Event of Default shall bear all costs of a servicing transfer as set forth in the applicable Servicing Agreement.

As set forth in the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from such Servicer (or by the Trust Estate, if such Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor Servicer, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the succeeding servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the succeeding servicer to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively. If the terminated Servicer does not pay such reimbursement within thirty (30) days of its receipt of an invoice therefor, such reimbursement shall be an expense of the Trust and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw such reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that, in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, the terminated Servicer shall reimburse the Trust for any such expense incurred by the Trust; and provided, further, that the Master Servicer shall decide whether and to what extent it is in the best interest of the Certificateholders to pursue any remedy against any party obligated to make such reimbursement.

No Certificateholder, solely by virtue of such holder’s status as a Certificateholder, will have any right under the Trust Agreement to institute any proceeding with respect to the Trust Agreement or any Servicing Agreement, Custodial Agreement or any Assignment Agreement, unless such holder previously has given to the Trustee written notice of default and unless the Certificateholders evidencing at least 25% of Voting Rights have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such proceeding in its own name and have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee for 60 days has neglected or refused to institute any such proceeding.

If Xxxxx Fargo is the defaulting Servicer, then the Master Servicer shall appoint a successor servicer pursuant to this Section and shall not assume the duties of the terminated Servicer.

Section 7.02 Notification to Certificateholders.

(a) Upon any termination pursuant to Section 7.01 above or appointment of a successor to any Servicer or the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register, and to each Rating Agency.

(b) Within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any Servicer Event of Default involving any Servicer, the Securities Administrator shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates and each Rating Agency, the Trustee and the Master Servicer notice of each such Servicer Event of Default or occurrence known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee unless such default shall have been cured or waived.

Section 8.01 Duties of the Master Servicer; Enforcement of Servicer’s and Master Servicer’s Obligations.

(a) The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the Certificateholders, shall monitor the performance of the Servicers under the Servicing Agreements, and (except as set forth below) shall use its reasonable good faith efforts to cause the Servicers to duly and punctually to perform their duties and obligations thereunder. Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer has actual knowledge under a Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Securities Administrator and Trustee and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Master Servicer plans to take in respect of such default. So long as any such default shall be continuing, the Master Servicer may (i) terminate all of the rights and powers of such Servicer pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Servicing Agreement; (ii) exercise any rights it may have to enforce the Servicing Agreement against such Servicer; (iii) waive any such default under the Servicing Agreement in accordance with Section 7.01 hereof or (iv) take any other action with respect to such default as is permitted thereunder.

(b) The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of monitoring the Servicers as required hereunder (including costs associated with (i) termination of any Servicer or (ii) the appointment of a successor servicer and shall, to the extent permitted by the related Servicing Agreement, seek reimbursement therefor initially from the terminated Servicer. In the event the full costs associated with the transition of servicing responsibilities to the Master Servicer are not paid for by the predecessor Servicer or successor servicer (provided that such successor Servicer is not the Master Servicer), the Master Servicer may be reimbursed therefor by the Trust for out of pocket costs incurred by the Master Servicer associated with any such transfer of servicing duties from a Servicer to any other successor servicer.

(c) None of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall consent to the assignment by any Servicer of such Servicer’s rights and obligations under the related Servicing Agreement without the prior written consent of the Master Servicer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) The Master Servicer shall not assume liability for any Servicer’s representations and warranties if it becomes a successor servicer.

(e) On or before March 15 of each year, commencing in March 2008, the Master Servicer, at its own expense, shall furnish, and shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to furnish, each at its own expense, to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, an assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria that contains (i) a statement by such party of its responsibility for assessing compliance with the Servicing Criteria, (ii) a statement that such party used the Servicing Criteria to assess compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, (iii) such party’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria as of and for the fiscal year covered by the Form 10-K required to be filed pursuant to Section 3.02(e), including, if there has been any material instance of noncompliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, a discussion of each such failure and the nature and status thereof, and (iv) a statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on such party’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria as of and for such period.

No later than the end of each fiscal year for the Trust for which a 10-K is required to be filed, the Master Servicer shall forward to the Securities Administrator the name of each Servicing Function Participant engaged by it and what Relevant Servicing Criteria will be addressed in the report on assessment of compliance prepared by such Servicing Function Participant. When the Master Servicer and the Trustee (or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by them) submits its assessment to the Securities Administrator, such parties will also at such time include the assessment and attestation pursuant to Section 8.01(f) and 11.01(d) of each Servicing Function Participant engaged by it.

Promptly after receipt of each such report on assessment of compliance, (i) the Depositor shall review each such report and, if applicable, consult with the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such parties as to the nature of any material instance of noncompliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria by each such party, and (ii) the Securities Administrator shall confirm that the assessments, taken as a whole, address all of the Servicing Criteria and, taken individually, address the Relevant Servicing Criteria for each party as set forth on Exhibit J and on any similar exhibit set forth in each Servicing Agreement and each Custody Agreement in respect of the applicable Servicer or Custodian and notify the Depositor of any exceptions. None of such parties shall be required to deliver any such assessments until April 15 in any given year so long as such party has received written confirmation from the Depositor that a Form 10-K is not required to be filed in respect of the Trust for the preceding calendar year.

The Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of a Servicer (and the applicable Servicing Agreement will provide that each Servicer shall enforce any obligations of an Additional Servicer engaged by such Servicer), to the extent set forth in the related Servicing Agreement (or, in the case of an Additional Servicer, such applicable agreement), to deliver to the Master Servicer an annual report on assessment of compliance within the time frame set forth in, and in such form and substance as may be required pursuant to, the related Servicing Agreement (or, in the case of an Additional Servicer, such applicable agreement). The Master Servicer shall include such annual report on assessment of compliance with its own assessment of compliance to be submitted to the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section 8.01.

(f) On or before March 15 of each calendar year, commencing in March 2008, the Master Servicer, at its own expense, shall cause, and shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to cause, each at its own expense, a registered public accounting firm (which may also render other services to the Master Servicer or such other Servicing Function Participants, as the case may be) that is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a report to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor (and, in the case of any other Servicing Function Participant, the Master Servicer) to the effect that (i) it has obtained a representation regarding certain matters from the management of such party, which includes an assertion that such party has complied with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the PCAOB, it is expressing an opinion as to whether such party’s compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria was fairly stated in all material respects, or it cannot express an overall opinion regarding such party’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria. In the event that an overall opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting firm shall state in such report why it was unable to express such an opinion. Such report must be available for general use and not contain restricted use language.

Promptly after receipt of such report from the Master Servicer or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by the Master Servicer, (i) the Depositor shall review the report and, if applicable, consult with such parties as to the nature of any defaults by such parties, in the fulfillment of any of each such party’s obligations hereunder or under any other applicable agreement, and (ii) the Securities Administrator shall confirm that each assessment submitted pursuant to Section 8.01(e) and Section 11.01(c) is coupled with an attestation meeting the requirements of this Section and shall notify the Depositor of any exceptions. Neither the Master Servicer nor any Servicing Function Participant engaged by the Master Servicer shall be required to deliver or cause the delivery of such reports until April 15 in any given year so long as it has received written confirmation from the Depositor that a 10-K is not required to be filed in respect of the Trust for the preceding fiscal year.

The Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of a Servicer (and the applicable Servicing Agreement will provide that each Servicer shall enforce any obligations of an Additional Servicer engaged by such Servicer), to the extent set forth in the related Servicing Agreement (or, in the case of an Additional Servicer, such applicable agreement), to deliver to the Master Servicer an attestation within the time frame set forth in, and in such form and substance as may be required pursuant to, the related Servicing Agreement (or, in the case of an Additional Servicer, such applicable agreement). The Master Servicer shall include such annual report on assessment of compliance with its own assessment of compliance to be submitted to the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section 8.01.

(g) The Master Servicer shall give prior written notice to the Depositor of the appointment of any Subcontractor by it and a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by the Master Servicer, specifying (i) the identity of each such Subcontractor and (ii) which elements of the servicing criteria set forth under Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each such Subcontractor.

(h) The Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Sponsor within five days of its gaining knowledge thereof (i) of any legal proceedings pending against the Master Servicer of the type described in Item 1117 (§ 229.1117) of Regulation AB, (ii) of any merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Master Servicer and (iii) if the Master Servicer shall become (but only to the extent not previously disclosed) at any time an affiliate of any of the Depositor, any Servicer, any Originator contemplated by Item 1110 (§ 229.1110) of Regulation AB, any significant obligor contemplated by Item 1112 (§ 229.1112) of Regulation AB, any enhancement or support provider contemplated by Items 1114 or 1115 (§§ 229.1114-1115) of Regulation AB or any successor thereto or any other material party to the Trust Fund contemplated by Item 1100(d)(1) (§ 229.1100(d)(1)) of Regulation AB, as applicable, and identified as such to the Master Servicer.

Section 8.02 Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.

(a) The Master Servicer shall maintain with responsible companies, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy, with broad coverage on all directors, officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the related Mortgage Loans (“Master Servicing Employees”). Any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond or the Financial Institution Bond and shall protect and insure the Master Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of the Master Servicer Employees. Such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy also shall protect and insure the Master Servicer against losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of a related Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 8.02 requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall diminish or relieve the Master Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. Upon the request of the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Securities Administrator a certificate of insurance of the insurer and the surety including a statement from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond and insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Securities Administrator. The Master Servicer shall (i) require each Servicer to maintain an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and a Fidelity Bond in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Servicing Agreement, (ii) cause each Servicer to provide to the Master Servicer certificates evidencing that such policy and bond is in effect and to furnish to the Master Servicer any notice of cancellation, non-renewal or modification of the policy or bond received by it, as and to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, and (iii) furnish copies of the certificates and notices referred to in clause (ii) to the Securities Administrator upon its request.

(b) The Master Servicer shall promptly report to the Securities Administrator any material changes that may occur in the Master Servicer Fidelity Bond or the Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and shall furnish to the Securities Administrator, on request, certificates evidencing that such bond and insurance policy are in full force and effect. The Master Servicer shall promptly report to the Securities Administrator, to the best of its knowledge, all cases of forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors or omissions, if such events involve funds relating to the Mortgage Loans. The total losses, regardless of whether claims are filed with the applicable insurer or surety, shall be disclosed in such reports together with the amount of such losses covered by insurance. If a bond or insurance claim report is filed with any of such bonding companies or insurers, the Master Servicer shall promptly furnish a copy of such report to the Securities Administrator. Any amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans collected by the Master Servicer under any such bond or policy shall be promptly remitted by the Master Servicer to the Securities Administrator for deposit into the Certificate Account. Any amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans collected by any Servicer under any such bond or policy shall be remitted to the Master Servicer to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement.

Section 8.03 Representations and Warranties of the Master Servicer.

(a) The Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, as of the Closing Date that:

(iii) this Trust Agreement constitutes, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other respective parties hereto, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Master Servicer, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general, and by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

It is understood and agreed that the enforcement of the obligation of the Master Servicer set forth in this Section to indemnify the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee constitutes the sole remedy of the Depositor and the Trustee, respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. Such indemnification shall survive any termination of the Master Servicer as Master Servicer hereunder and any termination of this Trust Agreement.

Any cause of action against the Master Servicer relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in this Section shall accrue upon discovery of such breach by either the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee or notice thereof by any one of such parties to the other parties.

Section 8.04 Master Servicer Events of Default.

Each of the following shall constitute a Master Servicer Event of Default:

(a) any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Securities Administrator any payment required to be made under the terms of this Trust Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of two (2) Business Days after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer (with a copy to the Trustee) by the Securities Administrator;

In each and every such case, so long as a Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, may terminate with cause all the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Trust Agreement.

Upon receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Trust Agreement, shall pass to and be vested in any successor master servicer appointed hereunder that accepts such appointments. Upon written request from the Trustee, the Master Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity designated by the Trustee any and all documents and other instruments related to the performance of its duties hereunder as the Master Servicer and, place in such successor’s possession all such documents, together with any Mortgage Files related to any pool of Mortgage Loans with respect to which it acts as a successor servicer, and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, at the Master Servicer’s sole expense. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and such successor master servicer in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including without limitation, the transfer to such successor master servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be credited to the Master Servicer Account or are thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

The Master Servicer being terminated shall bear and agrees to reimburse the Trustee and the successor master servicer from all costs, damages, expenses and liabilities incurred by them in connection with the transfer of master servicing, including but not limited to, legal fees and expenses, accounting fees and expenses. If the terminated Master Servicer does not pay any such costs and expenses within thirty (30) days of its receipt of an invoice therefor, the Trust shall reimburse the Trustee (or successor master servicer therefor) and the Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw such reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(iv); provided that the terminated Master Servicer shall reimburse the Trust for any such expense incurred by the Trust.

Section 8.05 Waiver of Default.

By a written notice, the Trustee may, and shall, at the direction of the Certificateholders holding 51% of the Voting Rights, waive any default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Master Servicer Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Trust Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

Section 8.06 Successor to the Master Servicer.

Upon termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall appoint a successor, which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Master Servicer under this Trust Agreement prior to the termination of the Master Servicer. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that in no event shall the Master Servicing Fee paid to such successor master servicer exceed that paid to the Master Servicer hereunder. In the event that the Master Servicer’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Trust Agreement are terminated, the Master Servicer shall continue to discharge its duties and responsibilities hereunder until the effective date of such termination with the same degree of diligence and prudence that it is obligated to exercise under this Trust Agreement and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights of its successor. The termination of the Master Servicer shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant hereto and shall in no event (a) relieve the Master Servicer of responsibility for the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 8.03(a) hereof and the remedies available to the Trustee under Section 8.03(b) hereof, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of Section 8.03 hereof shall be applicable to the Master Servicer notwithstanding any such sale, assignment, resignation or termination of the Master Servicer or the termination of this Trust Agreement; or (b) affect the right of the Master Servicer to receive payment and/or reimbursement of any amounts accruing to it hereunder prior to the date of termination (or during any transition period in which the Master Servicer continues to perform its duties hereunder prior to the date the successor master servicer fully assumes its duties).

If no successor master servicer has accepted its appointment within ninety (90) days of the time the Trustee receives the resignation of the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall be the successor master servicer in all respects under the Trust Agreement and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto, including the obligation to make Monthly Advances; provided, however, that any failure to perform any duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer’s failure to provide information required by these Standard Terms shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. In the Trustee’s capacity as such successor, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability herein granted to the Master Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive the compensation, reimbursement and indemnities otherwise payable to the Master Servicer under these Standard Terms, including the fees and other amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.07 hereof.

Any successor master servicer appointed as provided herein, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Master Servicer and to the Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, wherein the successor shall make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 8.03(a) hereof, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Trust Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Master Servicer or termination of this Trust Agreement shall not affect any claims that the Trustee may have against the Master Servicer arising out of the Master Servicer’s actions or failure to act prior to any such termination or resignation.

Upon a successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, the Master Servicer shall notify by mail the Trustee of such appointment.

Section 8.07 Fees and Other Amounts Payable to the Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer and the Trustee, as successor Master Servicer, shall be entitled to either retain or withdraw from the Master Servicer Account, (a) the Master Servicing Fee, (b) amounts necessary to reimburse itself for any previously unreimbursed Advances and any Advances the Master Servicer deems to be non-recoverable from the related Mortgage Loan proceeds, (c) an aggregate annual amount to indemnify the Master Servicer for amounts due in accordance with Section 8.01(b), 8.11 and 8.12 hereof, and (d) any other amounts that it or the Trustee, as successor Master Servicer, is entitled to receive hereunder for reimbursement, indemnification or otherwise. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided in this Trust Agreement.

Section 8.08 Merger or Consolidation.

Any Person into which the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion, other change in form or consolidation to which the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Master Servicer, shall be the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or resulting Person to the Master Servicer shall (a) be a Person (or have an Affiliate) that is qualified and approved to service mortgage loans for Xxxxxx Xxx and FHLMC (provided that a successor master servicer that satisfies subclause (a) through an Affiliate agrees to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with all applicable Xxxxxx Mae and FHLMC guidelines) and (b) have a net worth of not less than $25,000,000.

Section 8.09 Resignation and Removal of Master Servicer.

Except as otherwise provided in Sections 8.08 and 8.10 hereof, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it unless the Master Servicer’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it and cannot be cured. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel that shall be Independent to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee shall have assumed, or a successor master servicer shall have been appointed by the Trustee and until such successor shall have assumed, the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Trust Agreement. Notice of such resignation shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer and the Depositor to the Trustee.

In the event that the Master Servicer fails to comply with the provisions of Section 3.02, the Depositor may at any such time remove the Master Servicer by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Master Servicer so removed and to the Trustee. In any such event the Trustee shall appoint a successor master servicer by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Master Servicer so removed, to the Depositor and to the successor master servicer. If the Trustee and Depositor execute such an instrument, then the Trustee shall deliver copies of such instrument to the Certificateholders and each Servicer.

Section 8.10 Assignment or Delegation of Duties by the Master Servicer.

Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Master Servicer without the prior written consent of Xxxxxxx Mac; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall have the right with the prior written consent of the Trustee and the Depositor (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) and upon delivery to the Trustee and the Depositor of a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such action shall not result in a downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to any of the Certificates, to delegate or assign to or subcontract with or authorize or appoint any qualified Person to perform and carry out any duties, covenants or obligations to be performed and carried out by the Master Servicer hereunder. Notice of such permitted assignment shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer to the Depositor and the Trustee. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master servicer, the entire amount of the Master Servicing Fee and other compensation payable to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor master servicer, but in no event shall the Master Servicing Fee payable to the successor master servicer exceed that payable to the predecessor master servicer.

Section 8.11 Limitation on Liability of the Master Servicer and Others.

Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Trust Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful malfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this Trust Agreement. The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties as Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans under this Trust Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Trust Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom, shall be liabilities of the Trust, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Master Servicer Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.07 and Section 8.12.

The Master Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of any Servicer except to the extent that damages or expenses are incurred as a result of such act or omissions and such damages and expenses would not have been incurred but for the negligence, willful malfeasance, bad faith or recklessness of the Master Servicer in supervising, monitoring and overseeing the obligations of each Servicer under this Trust Agreement.

Section 8.12 Indemnification; Third-Party Claims.

The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, and hold them harmless against, any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liability, fees and expenses that the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee may sustain as a result of the Master Servicer’s willful malfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this Trust Agreement. Each of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall, immediately upon notice to it, notify the Master Servicer if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Trust Agreement or the Mortgage Loans which would entitle the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, to indemnification under this Section 8.12, whereupon the Master Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees and expenses, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim.

The Trust will indemnify the Master Servicer and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that the Master Servicer may incur or sustain in connection with, arising out of or related to this Trust Agreement, any Servicing Agreement, any Assignment Agreement, the Custodial Agreement or the Certificates, except to the extent that any such loss, liability or expense (a) is related to (i) a material breach of the Master Servicer’s representations and warranties in the Trust Agreement or (ii) the Master Servicer’s willful malfeasance, bad faith or negligence or by reason of its reckless disregard of its duties and obligations under any such agreement or (b) does not constitute an “unanticipated expense” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimburse itself for any such indemnified amount from funds on deposit in the Master Servicer Account.

ARTICLE IX

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

Section 9.01 Duties of Trustee.

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default and after the curing of any such Master Servicer Event of Default, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Trust Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the appointment by the Trustee of Xxxxx Fargo Bank as Securities Administrator to perform the duties and obligations specifically set forth in Sections 2.03, 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.05, 4.01, 4.03, 4.04, 5.02, 5.03, 5.04, 5.08, 7.01, 7.02 and 10.03 hereof, and any other duties and obligations as may be set forth in a letter agreement between Xxxxx Fargo Bank, and the Trustee, shall not release the Trustee from its duty to perform such duties and obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be liable for any action or failure to act by the Securities Administrator hereunder. During a Master Servicer Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has notice, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Trust Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.

The Trustee upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, reports, documents, orders or other instruments created by any Person other than itself and furnished to it which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of the Trust Agreement, Custody Agreement, Servicing Agreement, Sale Agreement or Assignment Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of such agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be under any duty to recalculate, verify or recompute the information provided to it hereunder by any Servicer or the Depositor. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of such agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall take action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to its satisfaction, then it will provide notice thereof to the other parties hereto and to the Certificateholders.

No provision of the Trust Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:

(a) Prior to the occurrence of any Master Servicer Event of Default and after the curing of all of such Events of Default, the respective duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of the Trust Agreement (including the obligation of the Trustee to enforce each Custody Agreement against the related Custodian, each Sale Agreement against the related Seller, each Assignment Agreement against GSMC and otherwise to act as owner under such agreements for the benefit of the Certificateholders), the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of the respective duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in the Trust Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the Trust Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee that conform to the requirements of the Trust Agreement;

(b) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by an Officer of the Trustee unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(c) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under the Trust Agreement;

(d) Any determination of negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or breach of conduct of the Trustee shall be made only upon a finding that there is clear and convincing evidence (and not upon the mere preponderance of evidence) thereof in a proceeding before a court of competent jurisdiction in which the Trustee has had an opportunity to defend; and

(e) In no event shall the Trustee be held liable for the actions or omissions of the Master Servicer, Securities Administrator, any Servicer or Custodian (excepting the Trustee’s own actions as Servicer or Custodian). Prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing of all such Events of Default, other than those obligations assumed by the Trustee as successor Servicer under Article VII, no provision of the Trust Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it unless such risk or liability relates to duties set forth herein.

Section 9.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01 hereof:

(i) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. Further, the Trustee may accept a copy of the vote of the Board of Directors of any party certified by its clerk or assistant clerk or secretary or assistant secretary as conclusive evidence of the authority of any person to act in accordance with such vote, and such vote may be considered as in full force and effect until receipt by the Trustee of written notice to the contrary;

(ii) The Trustee may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon a certificate of an Officer of the appropriate Person whenever in the administration of the Trust Agreement the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder;

(iii) The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such written advice or Opinion of Counsel;

(iv) The Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by the Trust Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation thereunder or in relation thereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of the Trust Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;

(v) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by the Trust Agreement;

(vi) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee not assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of the Trust Agreement, the Trustee may require indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to taking any such action;

(vii) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers under the Trust Agreement or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it under the Trust Agreement, provided that any agent appointed by the Trustee hereunder shall be entitled to all of the protections of the Trustee under this Agreement including, without limitation, the indemnification provided for under Section 9.05 hereof;

(viii) Whenever the Trustee is authorized herein to require acts or documents in addition to those required to be provided it in any matter, it shall be under no obligation to make any determination whether or not such additional acts or documents should be required unless obligated to do so under Section 9.01;

(ix) The permissive right or authority of the Trustee to take any action enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty or obligation;

(x) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any matter, including without limitation any Event of Default, unless one of its Responsible Officers has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice thereof is received by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and such notice references the applicable Certificates generally, the applicable Servicer or Seller, the Trust or this Agreement;

(xi) The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability for the performance of any of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or powers (except with respect to its obligation to make Monthly Advances as successor Master Servicer pursuant hereto) if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of any Servicer or the Master Servicer under this Agreement except with respect to the Trustee’s obligation to make Monthly Advances pursuant hereto as successor Master Servicer or any successor master servicer under this Agreement and during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, any Servicer or the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(xii) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and without limiting the generality of this Section 9.02, the Trustee shall not have any duty (A) to see to any recording, filing or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see the maintenance of any such recording of filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing any thereof, (B) to see to any insurance, (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Estate other than from funds available in the Certificate Account, or (D) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of any Servicer delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(xiii) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the Trust Estate created hereby or the powers granted hereunder; and

(xiv) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(b) All rights of action under the Trust Agreement or under any of the Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee may be enforced by it without the possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the benefit of all the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of the Trust Agreement. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Section 9.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.

The recitals contained in the Trust Agreement and in the Certificates (other than the signature of the Trustee, the acknowledgments by the Trustee in Section 2.02 hereof and the representations and warranties made in Section 9.13 hereof) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations or warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of the Trust Agreement, any Supplemental Trust Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the signature of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from any Collection Account, the Master Servicer Account or the Certificate Account or Collection Account other than any funds, if any, held by the Trustee in accordance with Sections 3.01 and 3.02 or as owner of the Regular Interests of any REMIC.

Section 9.05 Trustee’s Fees and Expenses and Indemnification.

Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall be paid by the Securities Administrator. The Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable expenses and disbursements incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of the Trust Agreement (including but not limited to the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or breach of contract by the Trustee. The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust against any loss, liability or expense thereof, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, incurred, arising out of or in connection with the Trust Agreement, any Custody Agreement, any Supplemental Trust Agreement or the Certificates, including, but not limited to, any such loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with any legal action against the Trust or the Trustee or any director, officer, employee or agent thereof, or the performance of any of the Trustee’s duties under the Trust Agreement other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence, willful misconduct or breach of contract in the performance of duties under the Trust Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under the Trust Agreement or that do not constitute “unanticipated expenses” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

Section 9.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

The Trustee shall at all times be a corporation or national banking association that is not an Affiliate of the Depositor organized and doing business under the laws of any state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such corporation publishes reports of its conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of conditions so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.07.

Section 9.07 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.

The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts created pursuant to the Trust Agreement by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and to all Certificateholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and to the successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Certificateholders and each Servicer by the Depositor. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

The Depositor may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and to the successor trustee. If the Depositor executes such an instrument, then the Depositor shall deliver a copy of such instrument to the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and each Servicer.

The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to each of the Depositor, the Trustee so removed and the successor trustee so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and each Servicer and Seller by the Depositor.

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 9.08 hereof.

Section 9.08 Successor Trustee.

Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 9.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to the predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under the Trust Agreement and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor thereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee therein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all Trustee Mortgage Loan Files and related documents and statements held by it under the Trust Agreement and the Depositor and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee, all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06 hereof.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee under the Trust Agreement to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the appointment of any successor Trustee pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement will be subject to the prior written consent of the Trustee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 9.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee shall be the successor of the Trustee under the Trust Agreement, provided such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 9.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

For the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust or property securing the same may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Depositor and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Depositor shall not have joined in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee(s) hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 9.06 hereof and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 9.08 hereof.

In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 9.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to the Trust Agreement and the conditions of this Article IX. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of the Trust Agreement, specifically including every provision of the Trust Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee. No trustee (including the Trustee) shall be responsible for the actions of any co-trustee.

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of the Trust Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

Section 9.11 Appointment of Custodian.

The Trustee may appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Trustee Mortgage Loan Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a custody agreement. The appointment of any Custodian may at any time be terminated and a substitute custodian appointed therefor by the Trustee. Subject to this Article IX, the Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each custody agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodians for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

ARTICLE X

TERMINATION OF TRUST

Section 10.01 Qualified Liquidation.

The Provisions of this Article X are subject to the requirement that any termination shall be a “qualified liquidation” of each associated REMIC unless 100% of the affected holders of interests in each such REMIC have consented to waive such requirements. For this purpose “affected holders” shall mean each holder of a regular or residual interest which would receive a smaller amount in final distributions if the termination were not a “qualified liquidation” and such REMIC owed taxes as a result thereof.

Section 10.02 Termination.

The party designated in Section 4.03 of the Trust Agreement may, at its option, make or cause a Person to make a Terminating Purchase for the Termination Price at the time and on the terms and conditions specified in the Trust Agreement. Upon such Terminating Purchase or the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust or the disposition of the last REO Property remaining in the Trust, the respective obligations and responsibilities under the Trust Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Securities Administrator and required hereunder to be so paid and upon deposit of unclaimed funds otherwise distributable to Certificateholders in the Termination Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one (21) years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.

The Trust also may be terminated and the Certificates retired if the Securities Administrator determines, based upon an Opinion of Counsel, that the REMIC status of any related REMIC has been lost or that a substantial risk exists that such REMIC status will be lost for the then-current taxable year.

Section 10.03 Procedure for Termination.

The party designated in Section 4.03 of the Trust Agreement shall advise the Securities Administrator in writing of its election to cause a Terminating Purchase, no later than the Distribution Date in the month preceding the Distribution Date on which the Terminating Purchase will occur.

Notice of the Distribution Date on which any such termination shall occur (or the Distribution Date on which final payment or other Liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust or the disposition of the last REO Property remaining in the Trust will be distributed to Certificateholders, as reflected in the Remittance Report for such month (the “Final Distribution Date”) shall be given promptly by the Securities Administrator by letter to Certificateholders mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with a Terminating Purchase, not earlier than the 15th day of the month preceding such final distribution and not later than the 5^th day of the month of such final distribution or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the Servicer Remittance Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Final Distribution Date and that final payment of the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office of the Securities Administrator therein designated on that date, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Final Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Securities Administrator. The Securities Administrator shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given in connection with a Terminating Purchase, the purchaser shall deliver to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Certificate Account on the Business Day immediately preceding the Final Distribution Date an amount in next day funds equal to the Termination Price, as the case may be.

Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates on a Distribution Date by Certificateholders, the Securities Administrator shall distribute to Certificateholders (a) the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date, if not in connection with Terminating Purchase, or (b) if in connection with a Terminating Purchase, an amount determined as follows: with respect to each Certificate with an outstanding Certificate Balance, the outstanding Certificate Balance thereof, plus interest thereon through the Accounting Date preceding the Distribution Date fixed for termination and any previously unpaid interest, net of unrealized losses, Realized Interest Shortfall and Shortfall with respect thereto; and in addition, with respect to each Residual Certificate, the Percentage Interest evidenced thereby multiplied by the difference between the Termination Price and the aggregate amount to be distributed as provided in the first clause of this sentence.

Upon the receipt of a request for release from the Master Servicer, the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall promptly release to the purchaser the Trustee Mortgage Loan Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments without recourse necessary to effectuate such transfer. The Trust shall terminate immediately following the deposit of funds in the Termination Account as provided below.

In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates within six months after the Final Distribution Date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Securities Administrator shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates and receive the final distribution with respect thereto, net of the cost of such second notice. If within one year after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the amounts otherwise payable on such Certificates. Any funds payable to Certificateholders that are not distributed on the Final Distribution Date shall be deposited in a Termination Account, which shall be an Eligible Account, to be held for the benefit of Certificateholders not presenting and surrendering their Certificates in the aforesaid manner, and shall be disposed of in accordance with this Section. The Securities Administrator shall establish the Termination Accounts, which shall be Eligible Accounts, on or about the Closing Date.

Section 10.04 Additional Termination Requirements.

(a) In the event of a Terminating Purchase as provided in Section 10.02, the Trust shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Securities Administrator receives (i) a Special Tax Opinion and (ii) a Special Tax Consent from each of the Holders of the Residual Certificates (unless the Special Tax Opinion specially provides that no REMIC-level tax will result from the Terminating Purchase):

(i) Within ninety (90) days prior to the Final Distribution Date, the Depositor and the Trustee on behalf of the related REMIC shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation meeting the requirements of a qualified liquidation under the REMIC Provisions (which plan may be adopted by the Securities Administrator’s attachment of a statement specifying the first day of the 90-day liquidation period to the REMIC’s final federal income tax return) and the REMIC will sell all of its assets (other than cash);

(ii) Upon making final payment on the Regular Certificates or the deposit of any unclaimed funds otherwise distributable to the holders of the Regular Certificates in the Termination Account on the Final Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, pro rata, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates representing ownership of the residual interest in such REMIC all cash on hand relating to such REMIC after such final payment (other than cash retained to meet claims), and such REMIC shall terminate at that time; and

(iii) In no event may the final payment on the Certificates be made after the 90th day from the date on which the plan of complete liquidation is adopted. A payment into the Termination Account with respect to any Certificate pursuant to Section 10.03 shall be deemed a final payment on, or final distribution with respect to, such Certificate for the purposes of this clause.

(b) By its acceptance of a Residual Certificate, the Holder thereof hereby (i) authorizes such action as may be necessary to adopt a plan of complete liquidation of any related REMIC and (ii) agrees to take such action as may be necessary to adopt a plan of complete liquidation of any related REMIC upon the written request of the Trustee, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor Holders of Residual Certificates.

The Securities Administrator hereby agrees to pay the fees and expenses of the Custodians pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement between each Custodian and the Securities Administrator and the payment of such fees and expenses (as set forth in such separate agreement) shall be the sole obligation of the Securities Administrator; provided, however, that the Depositor shall pay any indemnified amounts to the Custodians. The provisions of this Section 11.04 shall survive (a) the termination of the Trust Agreement, any custody agreement or any Supplemental Trust Agreement and (b) the resignation or removal of the Securities Administrator or a Custodian, as the case may be.

Section 11.05 Resignation and Removal of the Securities Administrator.

The Securities Administrator may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts created pursuant to the Trust Agreement and any Supplemental Trust Agreement by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and to all Certificateholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor securities administrator (which may be the Trustee) by written instrument, in triplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Securities Administrator and to the successor securities administrator. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Depositor, the Certificateholders and each Servicer by the Trustee. If no successor securities administrator shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Securities Administrator may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor securities administrator.

The Trustee may at any time remove the Securities Administrator and appoint a successor securities administrator by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator so removed and to the successor securities administrator. If the Trustee executes such an instrument, then the Trustee shall deliver a copy of such instrument to the Certificateholders, the Depositor and each Servicer.

The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may at any time remove the Securities Administrator and appoint a successor securities administrator by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to each of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator so removed and the successor securities administrator so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and each Servicer and Seller by the Securities Administrator.

In the event that the Securities Administrator fails to comply with the provisions of Section 3.02, the Depositor may at any such time remove the Securities Administrator by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator so removed and to the Trustee. In any such event the Trustee shall appoint a successor securities administrator by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator so removed, to the Depositor and to the successor securities administrator. If the Trustee and Depositor execute such an instruments, then the Trustee shall deliver copies of such instruments to the Certificateholders and each Servicer.

Any resignation or removal of the Securities Administrator and appointment of a successor securities administrator pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor securities administrator as provided in Section 11.06 hereof.

Any successor securities administrator appointed as provided in Section 11.05 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Trustee and to the predecessor Securities Administrator an instrument accepting such appointment under the Trust Agreement and any Supplemental Trust Agreement and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Securities Administrator shall become effective and such successor securities administrator without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor thereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as securities administrator therein. The predecessor Securities Administrator shall deliver to the successor securities administrator, all Trustee Mortgage Loan Files and related documents and statements held by it under the Trust Agreement and the Trustee and the predecessor Securities Administrator shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor securities administrator, all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor securities administrator as provided in this Section, the Trustee shall mail notice of the succession of such securities administrator under the Trust Agreement to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register.

(ii) In order to enable the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to the Securities Administrator, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Securities Administrator reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates (security instruments), 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 Securities Administrator, promptly upon request therefor, any additional information or data that the Securities Administrator may from time to time reasonably request in order to enable the Securities Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein.

(b) The Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC, including but not limited to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to such REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Securities Administrator in fulfilling its duties hereunder (including its duties as tax return preparer). The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement of the expenses to the extent provided in clause (i) above from the Certificate Account, but only to the extent such expenses are “unanticipated expenses” for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii).

(c) The Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall prepare any necessary forms for election as well as all of the Trust’s and each REMIC’s federal and any appropriate state tax and information returns. The Trustee shall sign and the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall file such returns on behalf of each REMIC. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Securities Administrator.

(d) The Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall perform all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of the Trust and each REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or New York tax law. Among its other duties, if required by the REMIC Provisions, the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, acting as agent of each REMIC, shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any Disqualified Organization and (ii) to the Securities Administrator such information as is necessary for the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, to discharge its obligations under the REMIC Provisions to report tax information to the Certificateholders.

(e) The Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Holders of the Residual Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of such REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status.

(f) The Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Holders of the Residual Certificates shall not take any action, or fail to take any action, or cause any REMIC to take any action or fail to take any action that, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could endanger the status of any such REMIC as a REMIC unless the Securities Administrator has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take or to fail to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action or failure to act will not endanger such status.

(g) Any taxes that are imposed upon the Trust or any REMIC by federal or state (including local) governmental authorities (other than taxes paid by a party pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof or as provided in the following sentence) shall be allocated in the same manner as Realized Losses are allocated. Any state (or local) taxes imposed upon the Trust or any REMIC that would not have been imposed on the Trust or such REMIC in the absence of any legal or business connection between the Trustee and the state (or locality) imposing such taxes shall be paid by the Trustee, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Standard Terms, such taxes shall be deemed to be part of the Trustee’s cost of doing business and shall not be reimbursable to the Trustee.

(h) Xxxxx Fargo Bank shall acquire a Residual Certificate in each REMIC and Xxxxx Fargo Bank will act as the Tax Matters Person of each REMIC and perform various tax administration functions of each REMIC as its agent, as set forth in this Section, provided that Xxxxx Fargo Bank shall not have to sign a Residual Transferee Agreement as required under Section 5.05(c) of these Standard Terms. If Xxxxx Fargo Bank or an Affiliate is unable for any reason to fulfill its duties as Tax Matters Person for a REMIC, the holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Residual Certificates in such REMIC shall become the successor Tax Matters Person of such REMIC.

(i) The Tax Matters Person shall apply for an employer identification number with the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other comparable method for each REMIC, for the trust created for any Supplemental Interest Trust and for any other trust created pursuant to the Trust Agreement or any other document named therein. In connection with the foregoing, the Tax Matters Person shall provide the name and address of the person who can be contacted to obtain information required to be reported to the holders of Regular Interests in each REMIC as required by IRS Form 8811.

(j) For purposes of compliance with the REMIC Provisions, the amount of any expenses payable from the Trust Fund or the Termination Price, in each case pursuant to Section 4.03 of the Trust Agreement, that reduces amounts otherwise distributable to the Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates) and that do not constitute “unanticipated expenses” of a REMIC within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) shall be treated, first, as having been distributed on the Certificates that suffered such reduction to the extent of such reduction and, next, as having been paid by the beneficial holders of such Certificates to the parties to whom such expenses were payable.

Section 12.02 Prohibited Activities.

Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement, none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, each Servicer, the Master Servicer nor the Holders of the Residual Certificates shall engage in, nor shall the Master Servicer permit (to the extent within its control), any of the following transactions or activities unless it has received (a) a Special Tax Opinion and (b) a Special Tax Consent from each of the Holders of the Residual Certificates (unless the Special Tax Opinion specially provides that no REMIC-level tax will result from the transaction or activity in question):

(i) the sale or other disposition of, or substitution for, any of the Mortgage Loans except pursuant to (A) a foreclosure or default with respect to such Mortgage Loans, (B) the bankruptcy or insolvency of any REMIC, (C) the termination of any REMIC pursuant to Section 10.02, or (D) a purchase (but not a substitution) in accordance with Section 2.03;

(ii) the acquisition of any Mortgage Loans for the Trust after the Closing Date except during the three-month period beginning on the Closing Date pursuant to a fixed price contract in effect on the Closing Date that has been reviewed and approved by tax counsel acceptable to the Securities Administrator;

(iii) the sale or other disposition of any investment in the Certificate Account or the Distribution Account at a gain;

(iv) the sale or other disposition of any asset held in a Reserve Fund for a period of less than three months (a “Short-Term Reserve Fund Investment”) if such sale or disposition would cause 30% or more of a REMIC’s income from such Reserve Fund for the taxable year to consist of a gain from the sale or disposition of Short-Term Reserve Fund Investments;

(v) the withdrawal of any amounts from any Reserve Fund except (A) for the distribution pro rata to the Holders of the Residual Certificates representing ownership of the residual interest in the related REMIC or (B) to provide for the payment of Trust expenses or amounts payable on the Certificates in the event of defaults or late payments on the Mortgage Loans or lower than expected returns on funds held in the Certificate Account or the Distribution Account, as provided under Section 860G(a)(7) of the Code;

(vi) the acceptance of any contribution to the Trust except the following cash contributions: (A) a contribution received during the three-month period beginning on the Closing Date, (B) a contribution to a Reserve Fund owned by a REMIC that is made pro rata by the Holders of the Residual Certificates representing ownership of the residual interest in the related REMIC, (C) a contribution to facilitate a Terminating Purchase that is made within the 90-day period beginning on the date on which a plan of complete liquidation is adopted pursuant to Section 10.04(a)(i), or (D) any other contribution approved by the Securities Administrator after consultation with tax counsel;

(vii) except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a default, or as to which, in the reasonable judgment of any Servicer, default is reasonably foreseeable, the Master Servicer shall not permit any modification of any material term of a Mortgage Loan (including, but not limited to, the interest rate, the principal balance, the amortization schedule, the remaining term to maturity, or any other term affecting the amount or timing of payments on the Mortgage Loan) unless the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to modify the Mortgage Loan) to the effect that such modification would not be treated as giving rise to a new debt instrument for REMIC purposes; or

(viii) any other transaction or activity that is not contemplated by the Trust Agreement.

Any party causing the Trust to engage in any of the activities prohibited in this Section shall be liable for the payment of any tax and any associated cost imposed on the Trust pursuant to Code Section 860F(a)(1) or 860G(d) as a result of the Trust engaging in such activities and indemnify the Trust and the Master Servicer for such amounts.

ARTICLE XIII

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 13.01 Amendment of Trust Agreement.

The Trust Agreement may be amended or supplemented from time to time by the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee without the consent of any of the Certificateholders to (a) cure any ambiguity, (b) correct or supplement any provisions herein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions herein, (c) modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or appropriate to maintain the qualification of the Trust (or any assets thereof) as a REMIC under the Code at all times that any Certificates are outstanding, (d) to conform the terms of this Agreement to the terms described in the Prospectus dated February 13, 2007, together with the Prospectus Supplement thereto dated December 27, 2007, or (e) to add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising hereunder or (f) to modify, alter, amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or provisions contained in this Agreement; provided, that any action pursuant to clause (e) or (f) above shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder. Any such amendment or supplement shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect any Certificateholder if the Person requesting such amendment delivers to the Securities Administrator written notification from each Rating Agency that rated the applicable Certificates to the effect that such amendment or supplement will not result in the downgrade or withdrawal of the then current rating assigned to such Certificates, as well as an Opinion of Counsel (delivered at the expense of the Person requesting such amendment) that such amendment or supplement will not result in the loss by the Trust or the assets thereof of REMIC status or result in the imposition of any taxes on the Trust or any REMIC.

The Trust Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Trust Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (a) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (b) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates, or (c) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, unless each Holder of a Certificate affected by such amendment consents. For purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 13.01, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or an Affiliate shall be entitled to Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such Certificates.

Prior to consenting to any amendment, each of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel from the Depositor stating that the proposed amendment is authorized and permitted pursuant to this Trust Agreement. No amendment affecting the rights, duties and indemnities of the Custodians shall be entered into without the Custodians’ consent.

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Securities Administrator shall notify Certificateholders of such amendment and, upon written request, furnish a copy of such amendment to any Certificateholder.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 13.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Securities Administrator may prescribe.

Section 13.02 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

To the extent required by applicable law, the Trust Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the applicable Custodian (except with respect to Deutsche Bank), on behalf of the Trustee, at the expense of the Trust, but only if such recordation is requested by the Depositor and accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be an expense of the Depositor or any Custodian) to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.

For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of the Trust Agreement as herein provided, and for any other purpose, the Trust Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 13.03 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.

The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate the Trust Agreement or the Trust, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.

No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to the Trust Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of the Trust Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to the Trust Agreement or any Sale Agreement, Servicing Agreement, Custody Agreement or Assignment Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Securities Administrator a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have made written request upon the Securities Administrator to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Securities Administrator under the Trust Agreement and shall have offered to the Securities Administrator such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Securities Administrator, for fifteen (15) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Securities Administrator, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of any provision of the Trust Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under the Trust Agreement, except in the manner therein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Section 13.04 [Reserved].

Section 13.05 Notices.

All demands and notices under the Trust Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered at or mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, or by express delivery service, to addresses, telecopy numbers or email addresses set forth in the Trust Agreement. Any notice required or permitted to be mailed to a Certificateholder shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, or by express delivery service, at the address of such Holder as shown in the Certificate Register. Any notice so mailed within the time prescribed in the Trust Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Certificateholder receives such notice. A copy of any notice required to be telecopied hereunder also shall be mailed to the appropriate party in the manner set forth above. A copy of any notice given hereunder to any other party shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator.

Section 13.06 Severability of Provision.

If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of the Trust Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of the Trust Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of the Trust Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.

Section 13.07 Sale of Mortgage Loans.

It is the express intent of the Depositor and the Trustee that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement be construed as a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention of the Depositor and the Trustee that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to continue to be property of the Depositor then (a) the Trust Agreement also shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC; (b) the conveyance by the Depositor provided for in the Trust Agreement shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in any Collection Account or the Certificate Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Trustee or its agent of Notes and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-313 of the UCC; and (d) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Depositor and the Trustee shall, to the extent consistent with the Trust Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if the Trust Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Trust Agreement.

Section 13.08 Notice to Rating Agencies

(a) The Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall use its best efforts promptly to provide notice to each Rating Agency with respect to each of the following of which an Officer of the Securities Administrator has actual knowledge:

(i) any material change or amendment to the Trust Agreement or any agreement assigned to the Trust;

(ii) the occurrence of any Event of Default under a Servicing Agreement;

(iii) the resignation, termination or merger of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or any Servicer or Custodian;

(iv) the purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.03;

(v) the final payment to Certificateholders;

(vi) any change in the location of any Collection Account, Reserve Fund or Certificate Account; and

(vii) any event that would result in the inability of any Servicer to make Advances regarding delinquent Mortgage Loans.

(b) The Securities Administrator shall promptly make available, through a website located at xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx, if practicable, to each Rating Agency copies of the following:

(i) each report to Certificateholders described in Section 4.01; and

(ii) upon written request of any such Person, a hard copy of each Annual Compliance Statement and other reports provided by the Servicer under each Servicing Agreement.

(c) Any notice pursuant to this Section 13.08 shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered or mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid or by express delivery service to each Rating Agency at the address specified in the Trust Agreement.

Section 13.09 Custodian’s Limitation of Liability.

The Custodian shall be entitled to the same rights, protections, immunities and indemnities hereunder as afforded under the Custodial Agreement dated as of December 1, 2007.

Re:

Master Servicing and Trust Agreement, dated as of [ ] 1, 2007, among GS Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer and Securities Administrator, and [ ], as Custodian(s), and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee of GSR Mortgage Loan Trust 2007-[ ]F

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with the purchase on the date hereof of the captioned securities (the “Residual Certificate”), to be issued pursuant to the Master Servicing and Trust Agreement, dated as of [ ] 1, 2007, among GS Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer and Securities Administrator, and [ ], as Custodian(s), and the Standard Terms to Master Servicing and Trust Agreement ([ ] 2007 Edition) (the “Standard Terms to Trust Agreement”) (collectively, the “Trust Agreement”), the undersigned hereby certifies and covenants to the transferor, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust as follows:

1. We certify that on the date hereof we have simultaneously herewith delivered to you an affidavit certifying, among other things, that (A) we are not a Disqualified Organization and (B) we are not purchasing such Residual Certificate on behalf of a Disqualified Organization. We understand that any breach by us of this certification may cause us to be liable for a tax imposed upon transfers to Disqualified Organizations.

2. We acknowledge that we will be the beneficial owner of the Residual Certificate and that the Residual Certificate will be registered in our name and not in the name of a nominee.

3. We certify that no purpose of our purchase of the Residual Certificate is to avoid or impede the assessment or collection of tax.

F-1

4. (A) We understand that the Residual Certificate represents for federal income tax purposes a “residual interest” in a real estate mortgage investment conduit and (B) we understand that as the holder of the Residual Certificate we will be required to take into account, in determining our taxable income, our pro rata percentage interest of the taxable income of each REMIC formed pursuant to the Trust Agreement in accordance with all applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

5. We understand that if, notwithstanding the transfer restrictions, any of the Residual Certificates is in fact transferred to a Disqualified Organization, a tax may be imposed on the transferor of such Residual Certificate. We agree that any breach by us of these representations shall render such transfer of such Residual Certificate by us absolutely null and void and shall cause no rights in the Residual Certificate to vest in the transferee.

6. The sale to us and our purchase of the Residual Certificates constitutes a sale for tax and all other purposes and each party thereto has received due and adequate consideration. In our view, the transaction represents fair value, representing the results of arms length negotiations and taking into account our analysis of the tax and other consequences of investment in the Residual Certificates.

7. Unless this provision is explicitly waived by the transferor to us of the Residual Certificates, we expect that the purchase of the Residual Certificates, together with the receipt of the price, if any, therefor will be economically neutral or profitable to us overall, after all related expenses (including taxes) have been paid and based on conservative assumptions with respect to discount rates, prepayments and other factors necessary to evaluate profitability.

8. We are a “U.S. Person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code. We are duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of our organization. We are neither bankrupt nor insolvent nor do we have reason to believe that we will become bankrupt or insolvent. We have conducted and are conducting our business so as to comply in all material respects with all applicable statutes and regulations. The person executing and delivering this letter on our behalf is duly authorized to do so, the execution and delivery by us of this letter and the consummation of the transaction on the terms set forth herein are within our corporate power, and upon such execution and delivery, this letter will constitute our legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against us in accordance with its terms, subject, as to the enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and other laws affecting the right of creditors generally and to general principles of equity and the discretion of the court (regardless of whether enforcement of such remedies is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

9. Neither the execution and delivery by us of this letter, nor the compliance by us with the provisions hereof, nor the consummation by us of the transactions as set forth herein, will (A) conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default or result in the acceleration of any obligation under, our certificate of incorporation or by-laws or, after giving effect to the consents or the taking of the actions contemplated by clause (B) of this subparagraph, any of the provisions of any law, governmental rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on us or our properties, or any of the provisions of any indenture or mortgage or any other contract or instrument to which we are a party or by which we or any of our properties is bound, or (B) require the consent of or notice to or any filing with, any person, entity or governmental body, which has not been obtained or made by us.

F-2

10. We anticipate being a profit-making entity on an ongoing basis.

11. We have filed all required federal and state income tax returns and have paid all federal and state income taxes due; we intend to file and pay all such returns and taxes in the future. We acknowledge that as the holder of the Residual Certificates, to the extent the Residual Certificates would be treated as a noneconomic residual interest within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(2), we may incur tax liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the Residual Certificates and that we intend to pay taxes associated with holding the Residual Certificates as they become due.

12. We agree that in the event that at some future time we wish to transfer any interest in the Residual Certificates, we will transfer such interest in the Residual Certificates only to a transferee that:

(a) is not a Disqualified Organization and is not purchasing such interest in the Residual Certificates on behalf of a Disqualified Organization, and

(b) has delivered to the Trustee a transferee agreement in the form of Exhibit D to the Standard Terms to Trust Agreement and an affidavit in the form of Exhibit G-1 or Exhibit G-2, as applicable, to the Standard Terms to Trust Agreement and, if requested by the Trustee, an opinion of counsel, in form acceptable to the Trustee, that the proposed transfer will not cause the Residual Certificates to be held by a Disqualified Organization.

13. We are knowledgeable and experienced in financial, business and tax matters generally and in particular, the investment risks and tax consequences of REMIC residuals that provide little or no cash flow, and are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Residual Certificates; we are able to bear the economic risks of an investment in the Residual Certificates.

14. In addition, we acknowledge that the Trustee will not register the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a transferee that is not a “U.S. Person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code.

15. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Standard Terms to Trust Agreement.

16. We hereby designate the Trustee as our fiduciary to perform the duties of the tax matters person for each REMIC formed pursuant to the Trust Agreement.

Re:	GS Mortgage Securities Corp., Depositor GSR Mortgage Loan Trust 2007-[ ]F (the “Trust”)

STATE OF	)
	)	ss:
COUNTY OF	)

Under penalties of perjury, I, the undersigned, declare that to the best of my knowledge and belief, the following representations are true, correct and complete:

1. I am a duly authorized officer of ___________________ (the “Transferee”), and on behalf of which I have the authority to make this affidavit.

2. The Transferee is acquiring all or a portion of the securities (the “Residual Certificates”), which represent a residual interest in one or more real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC”) for which elections are to be made under Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

3. The Transferee is a foreign person within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-3(a)(1) (i.e., a person other than (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation or partnership that is organized under the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction thereof or therein, (iii) an estate that is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of the source of its income or (iv) a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more United States Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust) who would be subject to United States income tax withholding pursuant to Section 1441 or 1442 of the Code on income derived from the Residual Certificates (a “Non-U.S. Person”).

4. The Transferee agrees that it will not hold the Residual Certificates in connection with a trade or business in the United States, and the Transferee understands that it will be subject to United States federal income tax under Sections 871 and 881 of the Code in accordance with Section 860G of the Code and any Treasury regulations issued thereunder on “excess inclusions” that accrue with respect to the Residual Certificates during the period the Transferee holds the Residual Certificates.

G-1-1

5. The Transferee understands that the federal income tax on excess inclusions with respect to the Residual Certificates may be withheld in accordance with Section 860G(b) of the Code from distributions that otherwise would be made to the Transferee on the Residual Certificates and, to the extent that such tax has not been imposed previously, that such tax may be imposed at the time of disposition of any such Residual Certificate pursuant to Section 860G(b) of the Code.

6. The Transferee agrees (i) to file a timely United States federal income tax return for the year in which disposition of a Residual Certificate it holds occurs (or earlier if required by law) and will pay any United States federal income tax due at that time and (ii) if any tax is due at that time, to provide satisfactory written evidence of payment of such tax to the Trustee or its designated paying agent or other person who is liable to withhold federal income tax from a distribution on the Residual Certificates under Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code and the regulations thereunder (the “Withholding Agent”).

7. The Transferee understands that until it provides written evidence of the payment of tax due upon the disposition of a Residual Certificate to the Withholding Agent pursuant to paragraph 6 above, the Withholding Agent may (i) withhold an amount equal to such tax from future distributions made with respect to the Residual Certificate to subsequent transferees (after giving effect to the withholding of taxes imposed on such subsequent transferees), and (ii) pay the withheld amount to the Internal Revenue Service.

8. The Transferee understands that (i) the Withholding Agent may withhold other amounts required to be withheld pursuant to United States federal income tax law, if any, from distributions that otherwise would be made to such transferee on each Residual Certificate it holds and (ii) the Withholding Agent may pay to the Internal Revenue Service amounts withheld on behalf of any and all former holders of each Residual Certificate held by the Transferee.

9. The Transferee understands that if it transfers a Residual Certificate (or any interest therein) to a United States Person (including a foreign person who is subject to net United States federal income taxation with respect to such Residual Certificate), the Withholding Agent may disregard the transfer for federal income tax purposes if the transfer would have the effect of allowing the Transferee to avoid tax on accrued excess inclusions and may continue to withhold tax from future distributions as though the Residual Certificate were still held by the Transferee.

10. The Transferee understands that a transfer of a Residual Certificate (or any interest therein) to a Non-U.S. Person (i.e., a foreign person who is not subject to net United States federal income tax with respect to such Residual Certificate) will not be recognized unless the Withholding Agent has received from the transferee an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit containing these same agreements and representations.

11. The Transferee understands that distributions on a Residual Certificate may be delayed, without interest, pending determination of amounts to be withheld.

12. The Transferee is not a “Disqualified Organization” (as defined below), and the Transferee is not acquiring a Residual Certificate for the account of, or as agent or nominee of, or with a view to the transfer of direct or indirect record or beneficial ownership to, a Disqualified Organization. For the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is any of the following: (i) the United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, any foreign government, any international organization, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing; (ii) any organization (other than a xxxxxx’x cooperative as defined in Section 521 of the Code) that is exempt from federal income taxation (including taxation under the unrelated business taxable income provisions of the Code); (iii) any rural telephone or electrical service cooperative described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code; or (iv) any other entity treated as a “disqualified organization” within the meaning of Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code. In addition, a corporation will not be treated as an instrumentality of the United States or of any state or political subdivision thereof if all of its activities are subject to tax and, with the exception of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of its board of directors is not selected by such governmental unit.

G-1-2

13. The Transferee agrees to consent to any amendment of the Trust Agreement that shall be deemed necessary by the Depositor (upon the advice of counsel to the Depositor) to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that no interest in a Residual Certificate will be owned directly or indirectly by a Disqualified Organization.

14. The Transferee acknowledges that Section 860E(e) of the Code would impose a substantial tax on the transferor or, in certain circumstances, on an agent for the Transferee, with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization.

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Master Servicing and Trust Agreement, dated as of [ ] 1, 2007, among GS Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer and Securities Administrator, and [ ], as Custodian(s), and the Standard Terms to Master Servicing and Trust Agreement ([ ] 2007 Edition) incorporated by reference thereto.
