The Purchaser, on any Closing Date, shall be obligated to purchase only such Mortgage Loans set forth in the applicable Mortgage Loan Schedule, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the related Commitment Letter.

Purchaser will purchase Mortgage Loan(s) from the Company on such Closing Dates as may be agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Company. The closing shall, at Purchaser’s option be either: by telephone, confirmed by letter or wire as the parties shall agree; or conducted in person at such place as the parties shall agree. On the Closing Date and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Purchaser, without recourse except as set forth in this Agreement, and the Purchaser will purchase, all of the right, title and interest of the Company in and to the Mortgage Loans being conveyed by it hereunder, as identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

On the Closing Date and in accordance with the terms herein, the Purchaser will pay to the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Purchase Price, together with interest, if any, accrued from the Cut-off Date through the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, according to the instructions to be provided by the Company. The Company, simultaneously with the payment of the Purchase Price, shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser a Warranty Xxxx of Sale with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit I.

The principal balance of each Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date shall be determined after application of payments of principal due on or before the Cut-off Date whether or not collected. Therefore, payments of scheduled principal and interest prepaid for a Due Date beyond the Cut-off Date shall not be applied to the principal balance as of the Cut-off Date. Such prepaid amounts (minus interest at the Servicing Fee Rate) shall be the property of the Purchaser. The Company shall deposit any such prepaid amounts into the Custodial Account, which account is established for the benefit of the Purchaser for subsequent remittance by the Company to the Purchaser, and shall remit such amounts as provided in Section 5.1.

Pursuant to Section 2.3, the Company shall deliver the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Custodian. The contents of each Mortgage File not delivered to the Custodian are and shall be held in trust by the Company for the benefit of the Purchaser as the owner thereof.

The possession of each Servicing File by the Company is at the will of the Purchaser for the sole purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan, and such retention and possession by the Company is in a custodial capacity only. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans the ownership of each Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage and the related Mortgage File and Servicing File shall vest immediately in the Purchaser, and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or which come into the possession of the Company shall vest immediately in the Purchaser and shall be retained and maintained by the Company, in trust, at the will of the Purchaser and only in such custodial capacity. The Company shall release its custody of the contents of any Servicing File only in accordance with written instructions from the Purchaser, unless such release is required as incidental to the Company’s servicing of the Mortgage Loans or is in connection with a repurchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Sections 2.3, 3.3 or 6.2.

In addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan, the Company agrees that it will cause, at its own expense, the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Company to the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files the information required by the MERS® System to identify the Purchaser of such Mortgage Loans.

To the extent that original documents are not required for purposes of realization of Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, documents maintained by the Company may be in the form of microfilm or microfiche or such other reliable means of recreating original documents, including but not limited to, optical imagery techniques so long as the Company complies with the requirements of the Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac Selling and Servicing Guide, as amended from time to time.

The Company shall maintain with respect to each Mortgage Loan and shall make available for inspection by any Purchaser or its designee the related Servicing File during the time the Purchaser retains ownership of a Mortgage Loan and thereafter in accordance with Applicable Law.

The Company shall keep at its servicing office books and records in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall note transfers of Mortgage Loans. No transfer of a Mortgage Loan may be made unless such transfer is in compliance with the terms hereof.

The Purchaser may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, sell and transfer one or more of the Mortgage Loans, provided, however, that in no event shall there be more than four Persons at any given time having the status of “Purchaser” hereunder.

The Company shall forward to the Custodian original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with Section 4.1 or 6.1 within one week of their execution, provided, however, that the Company shall provide the Custodian with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within ten (10) days of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within 60 days of its submission for recordation.

In the event the public recording office is delayed in returning any original document, the Company shall deliver to the Custodian within 180 days of its submission for recordation, a copy of such document and an Officer’s Certificate, which shall (i) identify the recorded document; (ii) state that the recorded document has not been delivered to the Custodian due solely to a delay by the public recording office, (iii) state the amount of time generally required by the applicable recording office to record and return a document submitted for recordation, and (iv) specify the date the applicable recorded document will be delivered to the Custodian. The Company will be required to deliver the document to the Custodian by the date specified in (iv) above. An extension of the date specified in (iv) above may be requested from the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the originals or certified copies required in this Section 2.3 are not delivered as required within 90 days following the Closing Date or as otherwise extended as set forth above, the related Mortgage Loan shall, upon request of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Company in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof; provided, however, that the foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event the Company cannot deliver such items due to a delay caused by the recording office in the applicable jurisdiction; provided that the Company shall deliver instead a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such recording receipt is not available, an Officer’s Certificate from the Company confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording. Any such document shall be delivered to the Purchaser or its designee promptly upon receipt thereof from the related recording office.

If, subsequent to the related Closing Date, the Company, the Purchaser or the Custodian finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File pertaining to a Mortgage Loan to be defective (or missing) in any material respect, and such defect or missing document materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Purchaser therein, the party discovering such defect shall promptly so notify the Company. The Company shall have a period of 90 days after receipt of such written notice within which to correct or cure any such defect. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that, if any material defect cannot be corrected or cured, the Company will, upon the expiration of the applicable cure period described above, repurchase the related Mortgage Loan in the manner set forth in Section 3.3; provided, however, that with respect to any Mortgage Loan, if such defect constitutes a Qualification Defect, any such repurchase must take place within 75 days of the date such defect is discovered.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Mortgage Loan, if, at the end of such 90-day period, the Company delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Purchaser certifying that the Company is using good faith efforts to correct or cure such defect and identifying progress made, then the Purchaser shall grant the Company an extension to correct or cure such defect. The extension shall not extend beyond (1) the date that is 75 days after the date the defect is discovered, or, (2) if the defect is not a Qualification Defect (as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel), the date that is 30 days beyond the original 90-day cure period. If the defect is not a Qualification Defect, additional 30-day extensions may be obtained pursuant to the same procedure, as long as the Company demonstrates continued progress toward a correction or cure; provided that no extension shall be granted beyond 180 days from the date on which the Company received the original notice of the defect.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Mortgage Loan, the failure of the Purchaser to notify the Company of any defective or missing document in a Mortgage File within such 90-day period, or the failure of the Purchaser to require the Company to cure or repurchase the related Mortgage Loan upon expiration of such 90-day period, shall not constitute a waiver of its rights hereunder, including the rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan, to require the Company to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan and the right to indemnification pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof.

Section 2.4

Mortgage Schedule.

The Company shall provide the Purchaser with certain information constituting a listing of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased under this Agreement (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”) on each Closing Date substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

The fact that the Purchaser or any prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the Purchaser’s (or any of its successor’s) rights to demand repurchase, substitution or other relief as provided under this Agreement.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement and subject to the REMIC Provisions if the Mortgage Loans have been transferred to a REMIC, the Company may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Company’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Purchaser. In the event of any such modification which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Company shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 5.3, the difference between (a) such month’s principal and one month’s interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor.

If reasonably required by the Company, the Purchaser shall furnish the Company with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Company to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Company shall employ procedures (including collection procedures) and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account, giving due consideration to Accepted Servicing Practices where such practices do not conflict with the requirements of this Agreement, and the Purchaser’s reliance on the Company.

For the avoidance of doubt, a scheduled payment becomes 30 days delinquent if it is not received by the open of business on the second Due Date following the Due Date therefor. In such connection, the Company shall from its own funds make all necessary and proper Servicing Advances, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration or preservation of any Mortgaged Property, unless it shall determine (a) that such preservation, restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and (b) that such expenses will be recoverable by it either through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.5) or through Insurance Proceeds (respecting which it shall have similar priority).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Company has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector. The cost for such inspection or review shall be borne by the Purchaser. Upon completion of the inspection or review, the Company shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental inspection.

After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Purchaser shall determine how the Company shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property. In the event (a) the environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes and (b) the Purchaser directs the Company to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental clean up costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse the Company, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof. In the event the Purchaser directs the Company not to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof.

Section 4.3

Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Company shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, and shall, in accordance with RESPA and applicable state law, take special care in ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property, to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

Section 4.4

Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Account.

The Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled “Lydian Private Bank, in trust for the Purchaser of Residential Mortgage Loans serviced under the Amended and Restated Flow Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2005”, or as otherwise directed in writing by the Purchaser or its assigns after the Closing Date in connection with any Whole Loan Transfer or Securitization Transaction. The Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository. Upon request of the Purchaser and within ten (10) days thereof, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with written confirmation of the existence of such Custodial Account. Any funds deposited in the Custodial Account shall at all times be insured to the fullest extent allowed by Applicable Law. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.5.

The Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account within one Business Day (or two Business Days in the case of the amounts described in clauses (3) through (5) below) of the Company’s receipt, and retain therein, the following collections received by the Company and payments made by the Company after each Cut-off Date, other than payments of principal and interest due on or before such Cut-off Date, or received by the Company prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto:

(8)

with respect to each Principal Prepayment including, for this purpose, the principal portion of Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, and Liquidation Proceeds an amount (to be paid by the Company out of its own funds) which, when added to all amounts allocable to interest received in connection with the Principal Prepayment, equals one month’s interest on the amount of principal so prepaid at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate, provided that the Company shall not be required to deposit interest in excess of the Servicing Fee earned in the month in which the deposit is required with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are the subject of the Custodial Account;

(9)

any amounts required to be deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 4.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy; and

(10)

any amounts received with respect to or related to any REO Property and all REO Disposition Proceeds pursuant to Section 4.16.

The foregoing requirements for deposit into the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of prepayment penalties, late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.1, need not be deposited by the Company into the Custodial Account unless otherwise set forth in the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Company and the Company shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.5. The Company shall reimburse the Custodial Account for any losses incurred as a result of the investment of amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account.

Section 4.5

Permitted Withdrawals From Custodial Account.

The Company shall, from time to time, withdraw funds from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(1)

to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances of the Company’s funds made pursuant to Section 5.3, the Company’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (2) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Company’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that, where the Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.3, 3.3 or 6.2, the Company’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such sections and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(3)

to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, and for any unpaid Servicing Fees, the Company’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (3) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by the Company from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Company’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of Purchaser, except that where the Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.3, 3.3 or 6.2, in which case the Company’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such sections and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(4)

to pay itself as servicing compensation any interest on funds deposited in the Custodial Account;

(5)

(9)

to remove funds inadvertently placed in the Custodial Account by the Company; and

(10)

to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement.

In the event that the Custodial Account is interest bearing, on each Remittance Date, the Company shall withdraw all interest earned on funds on deposit in the Custodial Account. The Company may use such withdrawn funds only for the purposes described in this Section 4.5.

Section 4.6

Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Account.

The Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled, “Lydian Private Bank, in trust for the Purchaser under the Amended and Restated Flow Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement dated as of November 1, 2005 and/or subsequent purchasers of Mortgage Loans.” The Escrow Accounts shall be established with a Qualified Depository, in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder. Upon request of the Purchaser and within ten (10) days thereof, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with written confirmation of the existence of such Escrow Account. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.7.

The Company shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts within two (2) Business Days of the Company’s receipt, and retain therein:

(1)

all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement;

(2)

all amounts representing Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property; and

(3)

all amounts representing proceeds of any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy.

The Company shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth in Section 4.7. The Company shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution, other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor. To the extent required by law, the Company shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account may be non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company shall be responsible to reimburse the Purchaser for any losses incurred as a result of the investment of amounts on deposit in the Escrow Account.

Section 4.7

Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by the Company only:

(1)

to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, mortgage insurance premiums, condominium charges, fire and hazard insurance premiums or other items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage;

(2)

to reimburse the Company for any Servicing Advances made by the Company pursuant to Section 4.8 with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;

(3)

to refund to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan;

(4)

for transfer to the Custodial Account and application to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note;

Section 4.8

Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and, if the Mortgage Loan is the subject of an escrow, shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Company in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage and applicable law. The Company assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payment of all such charges irrespective of each Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments, and the Company shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

Section 4.9

Protection of Accounts.

The Company may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time, upon prior written notice to the Purchaser.

Section 4.10

Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Company shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard insurance such that all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor or the loss payee from becoming a co-insurer. In the event a hazard insurance policy shall be in danger of being terminated, or in the event the insurer shall cease to be acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, the Company shall notify the Purchaser and the related Mortgagor, and shall use its best efforts, as permitted by Applicable Law, to obtain from another Qualified Insurer a replacement hazard insurance policy substantially and materially similar in all respects to the original policy. In no event, however, shall a Mortgage Loan be without a hazard insurance policy at any time, subject only to Section 4.11 hereof.

If upon origination of the Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property was located in an area identified by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, in an amount representing coverage equal to the lesser of (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis (or the unpaid balance of the mortgage if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured) and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended.

If a Mortgage is secured by a unit in a condominium project, the Company shall verify that the coverage required of the owner’s association, including hazard, flood, liability, and fidelity coverage, is being maintained in accordance with then current Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac requirements, secure from the owner’s association its agreement to notify the Company promptly of any change in the insurance coverage or of any condemnation or casualty loss that may have a material effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property as security.

In the event that any Purchaser or the Company shall determine that the Mortgaged Property should be insured against loss or damage by hazards and risks not covered by the insurance required to be maintained by the Mortgagor pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, the Company shall communicate and consult with the Mortgagor with respect to the need for such insurance and bring to the Mortgagor’s attention the desirability of protection of the Mortgaged Property.

All policies required hereunder shall name the Company as loss payee and shall be endorsed with standard or union mortgagee clauses, without contribution, which shall provide for at least 30 days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage.

The Company shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Company shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac and are licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The Company shall determine that such policies provide sufficient risk coverage and amounts, that they insure the property owner, and that they properly describe the property address.

Pursuant to Section 4.4, any amounts collected by the Company under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor, in accordance with the Company’s normal servicing procedures as specified in Section 4.14) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.5.

Section 4.11

Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy; Claims.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan with a LTV in excess of 80%, the Company shall, without any cost to the Purchaser, maintain or cause the Mortgagor to maintain in full force and effect a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy insuring that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of a percentage in conformance with Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac requirements. The Company shall pay or shall cause the Mortgagor to pay the premium thereon on a timely basis, at least until the LTV of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%, or such amount as required by Applicable Law, or such other amount as Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac permits for cancellation of mortgage insurance. In the event that such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be terminated, the Company shall obtain from another insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If the insurer shall cease to be a qualified insurer, the Company shall determine whether recoveries under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy are jeopardized for reasons related to the financial condition of such insurer, it being understood that the Company shall in no event have any responsibility or liability for any failure to recover under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such reason. If the Company determines that recoveries are so jeopardized, it shall notify the Purchaser and the Mortgagor, if required, and obtain from another qualified insurer a replacement insurance policy. The Company shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Company would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Subsection 6.1, the Company shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.6, any amounts collected by the Company under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Escrow Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.7.

Section 4.12

Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance.

In the event that the Company shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against losses arising from fire and hazards covered under extended coverage on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10. The Company shall prepare and make any claims on the blanket policy as deemed necessary by the Company in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Any amounts collected by the Company under any such policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.5. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, the Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account at the time of such loss the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, such amount to be deposited from the Company’s funds, without reimbursement therefor. Upon request of any Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days’ prior written notice to such Purchaser.

Section 4.13

Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Company 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 officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage Loans (“Company Employees”). Any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Company against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such Company Employees. Such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy also shall protect and insure the Company against losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.13 requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall diminish or relieve the Company 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 amounts acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. Upon the request of any Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certified true copy of such fidelity bond and insurance policy and 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 30 days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser.

Section 4.14

Inspections.

If any Mortgage Loan is more than 75 days delinquent, the Company or its agent immediately shall inspect the Mortgaged Property and shall conduct subsequent inspections in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices or as may be required by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer. The Company shall keep a written report of each such inspection.

Section 4.15

Restoration of Mortgaged Property.

The Company need not obtain the approval of the Purchaser prior to releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. For claims greater than $15,000, at a minimum the Company shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds:

(i)

The Company shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect thereto;

(ii)

the Company shall take all steps necessary to preserve the priority of the lien of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to requiring waivers with respect to mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens;

(iii)

the Company shall verify that the Mortgage Loan is not in default; and

(iv)

pending repairs or restoration, the Company shall place the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in the Escrow Account.

If the Purchaser is named as an additional loss payee, the Company is hereby empowered to endorse any loss draft issued in respect of such a claim in the name of the Purchaser.

Section 4.16

Claims.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer in a timely fashion and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.4, any amounts collected by the Company under any guaranty shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.5.

Section 4.17

Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Company, or in the event the Company is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, or the perfection of the ownership or security interest of the Purchaser in such REO Property would be adversely effected, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Company from any attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. The Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the Purchaser.

The Company shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Purchaser solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The Company, either itself or through an agent selected by the Company, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Company shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than one year, except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as the Company deems to be in the best interest of the Purchaser.

The Company shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless (i) a REMIC election has not been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property are held, and (ii) the Company determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Purchaser to such effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property; provided however, that the Company agrees not to sell or dispose of any such Mortgage Loan to a person who acquires such Mortgage Loan using a purchase money mortgage. If a period longer than one year is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Company shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property.

The Company shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount required above.

The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Company at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Company deems to be in the best interests of the Purchaser. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. As soon as practical thereafter the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Company shall reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees and unreimbursed advances made pursuant to Section 5.3. On the Remittance Date immediately following the Principal Prepayment Period in which such sale proceeds are received the net cash proceeds of such sale remaining in the Custodial Account shall be distributed to the Purchaser.

The Company shall withdraw the Custodial Account funds necessary for the proper operation management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 4.10 and the fees of any managing agent of the Company, or the Company itself. The Company shall make monthly distributions on each Remittance Date to the Purchaser of the net cash flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the revenues from such REO Property net of the expenses described in the Section 4.16 and of any reserves reasonably required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such expenses).

Section 4.18

Real Estate Owned Reports.

Together with the statement furnished pursuant to Section 5.2, the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser on or before the Remittance Date each month a statement with respect to any REO Property covering the operation of such REO Property for the previous month and the Company’s efforts in connection with the sale of such REO Property and any rental of such REO Property incidental to the sale thereof for the previous month. That statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Purchaser shall reasonably request.

Section 4.19

Liquidation Reports.

Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Purchaser pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall submit to the Purchaser a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

Section 4.20

Reports and Returns to be Filed by the Company.

The Company shall file information reports with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and information returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.

Section 4.21

Fair Credit Reporting Act.

For each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files, to Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union Credit Information Company, or their successors, on a monthly basis. The Company shall provide evidence of such monthly reporting to the Purchaser upon request.

Section 4.22

Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity Plan.

The Company shall establish and maintain contingency plans, recovery plans and proper risk controls to ensure Company’s continued performance under this Agreement. The plans shall include, but not be limited to, testing, control functions, accountability and corrective actions to be immediately implemented, if necessary. The Company agrees to make copies or summaries of the plans available to the Purchaser’s regulators upon request.

Section 4.23

MERS.

In the case of each MERS Mortgage Loan, the Company shall, as soon as practicable after the Purchaser’s request (but in no event more than 30 days thereafter with respect to each Mortgage Loan that was a MERS Mortgage Loan as of the applicable Closing Date, or 90 days thereafter with respect to each Mortgage Loan that was a MERS Eligible Mortgage Loan as of the applicable Closing Date and subsequent to the applicable Closing Date becomes a MERS Mortgage Loan), take such actions as are necessary to cause the Purchaser to be clearly identified as the owner of each MERS Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by MERS.

PAYMENTS TO PURCHASER

Section 5.1

Remittances.

On each Remittance Date the Company shall remit by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Purchaser (a) all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the Determination Date (net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.5), plus (b) all amounts, if any, which the Company is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 5.3, minus (c) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments received after the applicable Principal Prepayment Period which amounts shall be remitted on the following Remittance Date, together with any additional interest required to be deposited in the Custodial Account in connection with such Principal Prepayment in accordance with Section 4.4(viii); and minus (d) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the first day of the month of the Remittance Date.

With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the date on which such payment was due, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each charge, plus two percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law. Such interest shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Company on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following such second Business Day and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with the distribution payable on the next succeeding Remittance Date. The payment by the Company of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Company.

Section 5.2

Statements to Purchaser.

Not later than the Remittance Advice Date, the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser a Monthly Remittance Advice, including the information set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto, with a trial balance report attached thereto, as to the period ending on the last day of the preceding month, in a form to be agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Company.

Section 5.3

Monthly Advances by the Company.

On the Business Day immediately preceding each Remittance Date, the Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds or from amounts held for future distribution an amount equal to all Monthly Payments (with interest adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate) which were due on the Mortgage Loans during the applicable Due Period and which were delinquent at the close of business on the Determination Date immediately preceding such Remittance Date or which were deferred pursuant to Section 4.1. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by the Company by deposit in the Custodial Account on or before any future Remittance Date if funds in the Custodial Account on such Remittance Date shall be less than payments to the Purchaser required to be made on such Remittance Date. The Company shall have the right to deduct delinquent payments from amounts held for future distribution as long as the Company, its parent, or their respective successors hereunder has a long-term credit rating of at least “A” by Fitch, Inc. (doing business as Fitch Ratings), “A” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, a division of The XxXxxx-Xxxx Companies, Inc., and “A2” by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. If the long-term credit rating of the Company, its parent, or their respective successors hereunder are at any time below the ratings set forth in the directly preceding sentence, the Company shall no longer be permitted to make any advances from amounts held for future distribution, and instead shall be required to make all advances from its own funds. The Company’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, or through the earlier of: (i) the last Remittance Date prior to the Remittance Date for the distribution of all Liquidation Proceeds and other payments or recoveries (including Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the Mortgage Loan and (ii) the Remittance Date prior to the date the Mortgage Loan is converted to REO Property, provided, however, that if requested by a Rating Agency in connection with a Securitization Transaction, the Company shall be obligated to make such advances through the Remittance Date prior to the date on which cash is received in connection with the liquidation of REO Property; provided, however, that such obligation shall cease if the Company determines, in its sole reasonable opinion, that advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan are non-recoverable by the Company from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, or otherwise with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan. In the event that the Company determines that any such advances are non-recoverable, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with a certificate signed by two officers of the Company evidencing such determination.

ARTICLE VI

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

Section 6.1

Transfers of Mortgaged Property.

The Company shall use its best efforts to enforce any “due-on-sale” provision contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note and to deny assumption by the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be sold whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Company shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale” clause applicable thereto, provided, however, that the Company shall not exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing so.

If the Company reasonably believes it is unable under Applicable Law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Company shall enter into (i) an assumption and modification agreement with the person to whom such property has been conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and the original Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) in the event the Company is unable under Applicable Law to require that the original Mortgagor remain liable under the Mortgage Note and the Company has the prior consent of the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, a substitution of liability agreement with the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. The Company shall notify the Purchaser that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Purchaser the original of any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. If an assumption fee is collected by the Company for entering into an assumption agreement the fee will be retained by the Company as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption, neither the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the term of the Mortgage Loan, the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan nor any other material terms shall be changed without Purchaser’s consent.

To the extent that any Mortgage Loan is assumable, the Company shall inquire diligently into the credit worthiness of the proposed transferee, and shall use the underwriting criteria for approving the credit of the proposed transferee which are used with respect to underwriting mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans. If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Company diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by Applicable Law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan.

Section 6.2

Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, the Company shall notify the Purchaser in the Monthly Remittance Advice as provided in Section 5.2, and may request the release of any Mortgage Loan Documents.

If the Company satisfies or releases a Mortgage without first having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should the Company otherwise prejudice any rights the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, upon written demand of the Purchaser, the Company shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account within 2 Business Days of receipt of such demand by the Purchaser. The Company shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy as provided for in Section 4.12 insuring the Company against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

Section 6.3

Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account or to retain from interest payments on the Mortgage Loans the amount of its Servicing Fee. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly and shall be computed on the basis of the same unpaid scheduled principal balance and for the period respecting which any related interest payment on a Mortgage Loan is computed. The obligation of the Purchaser to pay the Servicing Fee is limited to, and payable solely from, the interest portion of such Monthly Payments.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, to the extent provided in Section 6.1, and late payment charges shall be retained by the Company to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Company shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for herein.

Section 6.4

Annual Statement as to Compliance.

The Company shall deliver to the Purchaser on or before March 15 each year, beginning March 15, 2006, an Officer’s Certificate, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Company during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision, and (ii) the Company has complied with the provisions of this Agreement or similar agreements, and (iii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Company has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement or similar agreements throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof and the action being taken by the Company to cure such default.

Section 6.5

Annual Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.

On or before March 15 of each year, beginning March 15, 2006, the Company, at its expense, shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to each Purchaser to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the mortgage loans similar in nature and that such firm is of the opinion that the provisions of this or similar agreements have been complied with, and that, on the basis of such examination conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, nothing has come to their attention which would indicate that such servicing has not been conducted in compliance therewith, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. By providing Purchaser a copy of a Uniform Single Attestation Program Report from their independent public accountant’s on an annual basis, the Company shall be considered to have fulfilled its obligations under this Section 6.5.

Section 6.6

Right to Examine Company Records.

The Purchaser, or its designee, shall have the right to examine and audit any and all of the books, records, or other information of the Company, whether held by the Company or by another on its behalf, with respect to or concerning this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, during business hours or at such other times as may be reasonable under applicable circumstances, upon reasonable advance notice. The Purchaser shall pay its own travel expenses associated with such examination.

Section 6.7

Compliance with REMIC Provisions.

If a REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held, the Company shall not take any action, cause the REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of the REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on “contributions” to a REMIC set forth in Section 860(D) of the Code) unless the Company has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such REMIC status or result in the imposition of any such tax.

The Company shall cooperate with the Purchaser in servicing the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the usual and customary requirements of any credit enhancement, risk management and other service providers and shall otherwise cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with such third-party service providers and the provision of third-party services; provided, however, that such requirements are reasonably acceptable to the Company and pose no greater risk, obligation or expense to the Company than otherwise set forth in this Agreement. Any additional costs and/or expenses will be paid by the requesting party.

ARTICLE VIII

Section 8.1

Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

The Company shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Company to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company immediately shall notify the Purchaser if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the prior written consent of the Purchaser) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or the Purchaser in respect of such claim. The Company shall follow any written instructions received from the Purchaser in connection with such claim. The Purchaser promptly shall reimburse the Company for all costs, fees or expenses advanced by it pursuant to this paragraph except when the claim in any way results from, relates to or arises out of any liability, obligation, act or omission of the Company, including without limitation, the Company’s indemnification obligation under Section 3.3 and this Section 8.1, any repurchase obligation of the Company hereunder including Sections 2.3, 3.3 and 6.2, or the failure of the Company to service and administer the Mortgage Loans and otherwise perform its obligations hereunder in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 8.2

Merger or Consolidation of the Company.

Except in the event of a merger or consolidation as set forth in the second paragraph of this Section 8.2, the Company shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation, and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Any Person into which the Company may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Company shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the business of the Company (whether or not related to loan servicing), shall be the successor of the Company hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, so long as (i) as a result of such merger, conversion, consolidation, sale or other disposition, no Event of Default under Section 10.1 hereof would exist with respect to such successor servicer, (ii) except to the extent waived by the Purchaser following due diligence of such proposed successor, such successor maintains a residential primary servicer rating for servicing of mortgage loans issued by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The XxXxxx-Xxxx Companies, Inc., Fitch, Inc. or Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. of at least “average” or its equivalent and (iii) such successor maintains a minimum net worth of $25,000,000 as determined in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s generally accepted accounting principles. The Company shall give 90 days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser of any such merger, conversion, consolidation, sale or other disposition to which the Company proposes to be a party. In the event that any successor entity to the Company fails to meet the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence and the Company does not consent to such successor becoming the servicer hereunder, the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Company and any such successor upon notice given as set forth in Section 10.1 hereof, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Company or any third party.

Section 8.3

Limitation on Liability of the Company and Others.

Neither the Company nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company shall be under any liability to the Purchaser for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment, provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Company or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in strict compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement or any other liability which would otherwise be imposed under this Agreement. The Company and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Company shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability, provided, however, that the Company may, with the consent of the Purchaser, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the Company shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Purchaser of the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action, unless any such costs result from a breach of the Company’s representations and warranties made herein or its failure to perform its obligations in compliance with this Agreement.

Section 8.4

Limitation on Resignation and Assignment by the Company.

The Purchaser has entered into this Agreement with the Company and subsequent Purchasers will purchase the Mortgage Loans in reliance upon the independent status of the Company, and the representations as to the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing, and the continuance thereof. Therefore, the Company shall neither assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder, nor delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion hereof, nor sell or otherwise dispose of all of its property or assets without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The Company shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Company and the Purchaser or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under Applicable Law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Company. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Company shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Purchaser which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Purchaser. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Company’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 12.1.

Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 8.4, in the event that the Company either shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof; or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice given as set forth in Section 10.1, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Company or any third party.

The Purchaser shall pay all third party costs associated with the preparation of such information.

The Purchaser shall pay all preparation and recording costs associated therewith. The Company shall execute each Assignment, track such Assignments to ensure they have been recorded and deliver them as required by the trustee upon the Company’s receipt thereof.

In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Company’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned sections, the Company shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor.

Any termination or resignation of the Company or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.4, 10.1, 11.1, 11.2 or 11.3 shall not affect any claims that any Purchaser may have against the Company arising out of the Company’s actions or failure to act prior to any such termination or resignation.

The Company shall deliver promptly to the successor servicer the funds in the Custodial Account and Escrow Account and all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Company shall account for all funds and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitively vest in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company.

Unless the Company is terminated pursuant to Section 11.2, the Purchaser shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Company for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing, 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 Purchaser to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Purchaser to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively.

Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness

. The Purchaser and the Company acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Article XIII of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission.

References in this Agreement to compliance with Regulation AB include provision of comparable disclosure in private offerings.

Neither the Purchaser nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under the Securities Act). The Company acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Purchaser or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Company shall cooperate fully with the Purchaser to deliver to the Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Purchaser or any Depositor to permit the Purchaser or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Company, any Subservicer, any Third-Party Originator and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Purchaser or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

The Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate with the Company by providing timely notice of requests for information under these provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information required, in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, to comply with Regulation AB.

(6)

the title insurance policy or certificate of title is for an amount not less than the original principal amount of the related note.

Within 120 days following the related Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver to the Purchaser a Final Certification in the form of Exhibit 4 evidencing the completeness of the Custodian’s Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan, with any applicable exceptions noted on such Certification.

No later than the fifth Business Day of each month, commencing in the month immediately following the related Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver to the Servicer, GS Mortgage Securities Corp., as depositor and the Trustee in electronic or hard copy format, as requested by the Purchaser, the exceptions list required by Section 4 hereof, updated to remove exceptions cured since the date on which the Custody Receipt was issued pursuant to Section 4 hereof. In the event the Mortgage Loans are securitized, the Custodian will only be required to deliver the exceptions list upon request. In addition, such monthly reports shall list any document with respect to which the Seller delivered a copy certifying that the original had been sent for recording, until such time as the Seller delivers to the Custodian the original of such document or a copy thereof certified by the appropriate public recording office. The Data Collection Schedule shall not be included unless specifically requested in advance. Except as specifically provided above, the Custodian shall be under no duty to review, inspect or examine such documents to determine that any of them are enforceable or appropriate for their prescribed purpose. During the life of the Mortgage Loans, in the event the Custodian discovers any defect with respect to the Custodian’s Mortgage Files, the Custodian shall give written notice of such defect to the Purchaser.

The Custodian shall hold in its possession and custody at JPMorgan Chase Bank, 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, for the Purchaser or any assignee of the Purchaser, all of the Custodian’s Mortgage Files delivered from time to time by the Servicer to the Custodian.

From time to time and as appropriate for the foreclosure or servicing of the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser hereby authorizes the Custodian to release to the Servicer (or, after securitization of the Mortgage Loans, if so designated by the Servicer, to the Trustee), within three (3) business days of receipt of either (i) a written request and receipt of the Servicer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 5(a) executed by one of the authorized signatories set forth on Exhibit 6, as such exhibit may be updated from time to time by the Servicer or (ii) an electronic request through the use of an electronic file request system mutually acceptable to the Custodian and the Servicer, a Custodian’s Mortgage File to the place indicated in any such written request from the Servicer. A list of authorized signatures for such written requests has been furnished to the Custodian by the Servicer. All Custodian’s Mortgage Files so released to the Servicer shall be held by it in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser. The Servicer shall return to the Custodian the Custodian’s Mortgage File when the Servicer’s need therefor in connection with such foreclosure or servicing no longer exist, unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated or paid in full.

Servicer may provide an electronic transmission for release of documents in a form agreed to in advance of initial transmission by both Servicer and Custodian containing information readable without intervention by Custodian data processing operations computer hardware and software staff, and arranged in a record layout to be specified by Custodian (a “Paperless Release Request”). Servicer agrees to maintain and control access to electronic signature information and assumes liability for any unauthorized use thereof. Servicer also agrees to maintain accurate records of electronic transactions related to the Custodial Files. Servicer hereby authorizes Custodian to automatically append the electronic signature of an Authorized Representative to the applicable request for release of documents and agrees and acknowledges that by appending such Authorized Representatives electronic signature, the Custodian shall be entitled to rely thereon. For purposes of this Agreement the term “electronic signature” is defined as an “electronic identifier intended by the person using it to have the same force and effect as the use of a manual signature.”

Servicer agrees in advance to comply with all Custodian data encryption, security and record layout standards in connection with any Paperless Release Request as may be amended from time to time upon notice from Custodian to Servicer. Custodian reserves the right to restrict or suspend Servicer’s access to the Custodian’s computer systems for maintenance or repairs or for any other reason in Custodian’s sole discretion, provided however that Custodian shall promptly provide Servicer notice of such restriction or suspension.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Servicer is authorized to transmit and Custodian is authorized to accept signed facsimile copies of Requests for Release.

Upon the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan or the payment or liquidation in full of the Mortgage Loan, and within three Business Days of receipt by the Custodian of the Servicer’s request for release, receipt and certification either (i) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 5(b), executed by one of the authorized signatories set forth on Exhibit 6 as such exhibit may be updated from time to time by the Servicer or (ii) through the use of an electronic request system mutually acceptable to the Custodian and the Servicer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such repurchase or payment in full or liquidation have been credited to the Collection Account as provided in the Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement), the Custodian shall release the related Custodian’s Mortgage File to the Servicer.

10.

Upon reasonable prior written notice, the Custodian shall permit the Purchaser and its agents, and servicing officers of the Servicer reasonable access to its premises during the Custodian’s normal business hours to inspect the Custodian’s Mortgage Files and all other documents, records and other papers in possession or under the control of the Custodian relating to the Mortgage Loans serviced by the Servicer. Each such person shall comply with the Custodian’s reasonable standards and procedures for physical security and personal conduct while on the Custodian’s premises. Any person failing, in the Custodian’s sole but reasonable business judgment, to meet such standards may be removed or denied access to the premises. The Purchaser shall be responsible for any reasonable expense in connection with such examination.

11.

The Purchaser, with or without cause, or upon failure by the Custodian to perform or observe any term of this Agreement, may remove and discharge the Custodian or any successor Custodian thereafter appointed from the performance of its duties under this Agreement upon written notice from the Purchaser to the Custodian or the successor Custodian; provided that at least sixty (60) days prior written notice shall be given with respect to a removal or discharge without cause. Having given notice of such removal, the Purchaser shall promptly appoint a successor Custodian to act on its behalf by written instrument, an original counterpart of which instrument shall be delivered to the Seller and one copy to the successor Custodian. In the event of any such removal, the Custodian shall promptly transfer, to the successor Custodian as directed, all Custodian’s Mortgage Files being administered under this Agreement. Such transfer shall be at the Custodian’s expense only if the Custodian is discharged and removed upon a failure by the Custodian to perform or observe any material terms of this Agreement; otherwise such transfer shall occur at the expense of the Purchaser. In any event, the Custodian shall be entitled to the payment of all outstanding fees and expenses of the Custodian due the Custodian at the time of such removal by the Purchaser. In the event that the Purchaser removes the Custodian without cause, any transfer or set-up fees payable to the successor Custodian will be payable by the Purchaser. In any event, the reasonable ongoing fees of any successor Custodian shall be paid by the Purchaser.

12.

It is understood that the Custodian will charge for its services under this agreement as set forth in a separate agreement between the Custodian and the Purchaser, the payment of which shall be the sole obligation of the Purchaser.

13.

The Custodian shall, at its own expense, maintain at all times during the existence of this Agreement and keep in full force and effect, (a) fidelity insurance, (b) errors and omissions insurance, and (c) all risk property insurance. All such insurance shall be in amounts, with standard coverage and subject to deductibles, all as is customary for insurance typically maintained by banks which act as custodian and in an amount and with coverages not less than that required by Xxxxxx Mae. Upon request, the Purchaser will be provided with certificates of insurance, as specified in this paragraph 13.

14.

The Custodian may resign as the Custodian hereunder upon at least sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Purchaser whereupon the Custodian shall deliver the Custodian’s Mortgage Files to Purchaser, or a designee of the Purchaser, in accordance with directions from the Purchaser. In the event of such resignation, or termination, the Purchaser shall pay all outstanding fees and expenses of the Custodian and shall appoint a successor Custodian.

15.

For the purpose of facilitating the execution of this Custodial Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this 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 and be one and the same instrument.

16.

Upon the request of the Purchaser, at any time, the Custodian shall provide to the Purchaser a list of all of the Mortgage Loans owned by the Purchaser for which the Custodian holds a Custodian’s Mortgage File pursuant to this Agreement. Such list may be in the form of a copy of the Mortgage Loan Schedule with manual deletions to specifically denote any Mortgage Loans paid off, repurchased or liquidated since the date of this Agreement.

17.

The duties and obligations of the Custodian shall only be such as are expressly set forth in this Agreement or as set forth in a written amendment to this Agreement executed by the parties hereto or their successors and assigns. In no event shall the Custodian be liable for special, indirect or consequential damages, even if advised of this possibility of the same.

18.

All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered, delivered by facsimile or mailed by first class mail or overnight express mail, postage prepaid, to the parties to this agreement at the address listed on Exhibit 2 or such other address as may hereafter be furnished in writing to each of the parties to this Agreement. Any such demand, notice or communication hereunder shall be deemed to have been received on the date received, if received prior to 4 p.m. eastern time, delivered to or received at the premises of the addressee or received at the facsimile number of the address, or, if received after 4 p.m. eastern time, then on the next business day.

19.

This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law principles, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

20.

The Custodian shall have no duties or obligation except those expressly stated in this Agreement, and such duties or obligations shall be determined solely by the express provisions of the Agreement. The Custodian, its officers, directors, employees, agents or other representatives 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 the Custodian by this Agreement or in reliance upon any written notice, request, consent, certificate, order, affidavit, letter, telegram or other document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper party or parties; provided, however, that the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to relieve the Custodian from liability from its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own bad faith or willful misconduct or any breach by the Custodian of any of its obligations hereunder, which breach was due to negligence on the part of the Custodian. The Custodian will be regarded as making no representations and having no responsibilities (except as expressly set forth herein) as to the validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of any Mortgage Loan, and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to the validity, value or genuineness of any Mortgage Loan. The Custodian shall not be obligated to take any legal action hereunder that might in its judgment involve any expense or liability unless it has been furnished with reasonable indemnity. The Custodian may rely on and shall be protected in acting in good faith upon the written instructions of the Purchaser, the Servicer and the Trustee (if any) and such employees and representatives of the Purchaser, the Servicer and the Trustee (if any) as each such party may hereinafter designate in writing. The Custodian may execute any of the powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or through agents or attorneys; provided, however, that the execution of such powers by any such agents or attorneys shall not diminish or relieve the Custodian for responsibility therefor to the same degree as if the Custodian itself had executed such powers.

21.

The Custodian shall be entitled to obtain the advice or opinion of counsel (which shall be either in house counsel or a nationally recognized outside counsel) with respect to a matter of law for which the Custodian has a reasonable question as to the rights and duties relating to the Custodian hereunder and the Custodian shall have no liability for any action taken or omitted in conformity with its good faith reliance on such advice or opinion; provided, however, that the provisions of this paragraph shall not relieve the Custodian from liability from its own negligent selection of counsel.

22.

This Agreement (together with the separate fee agreement between the Purchaser and the Custodian) contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and may be amended only by written agreement signed by the Purchaser and the Custodian.

23.

The Purchaser shall have the right, without consent of the Custodian, to assign its interest under this Agreement with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, and designate any person to exercise any rights of the Purchaser hereunder, and the assignee or designee shall accede to the rights and obligations hereunder of the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that the Purchaser may not assign its interest to more than five (5) persons without the consent of the Custodian, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. All references to the Purchaser in this Agreement shall be deemed to include its assignee or designee. Upon the Custodian’s receipt of the written notification, which shall state the name and address of the transferee and the date of sale and shall be accompanied by the original Custody Receipt presently outstanding delivered to the Purchaser, the Custodian shall change its records to reflect that such transferee is the owner of such Mortgage Loan and shall immediately issue (i) a new Custody Receipt with respect to a portion of or all of the Mortgage Loans, as the case may be, in the name of such transferee and (ii) a new Custody Receipt with respect to any Mortgage Loans retained by the Purchaser; provided, that, any Custody Receipt issued after the date of the initial sale of the Mortgage Loans shall not (1) confirm the accuracy of the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to Verified Information nor (2) include the Data Collection Schedule. The Purchaser and the Custodian agree herein that any and all such transferees of a Mortgage Loan shall succeed to all the rights and obligations of the Purchaser and shall be considered a Purchaser under this Agreement.

24.

The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold the Custodian, its directors, officers, agents, employees, and other representatives harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it or them in any way arising out of this Agreement as a result of any action or failure to act, so long as such action or failure to act by it or them hereunder does not constitute bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct of the Custodian or any of its agents, officers, directors or employees or breach by the Custodian of its obligations hereunder. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

25.

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

26.

Each party agrees to keep confidential the existence of this Agreement, the identity of the parties hereto, and any other term or condition of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and to use such information solely in order to effectuate the purpose of the Agreement; provided, that, each party may provide confidential information to its employees, agents and affiliates who have a need to know such information in order to effectuate the transaction, and provided, further that such information is identified as confidential non-public information. In the event that either party or any of its employees, agents or affiliates are requested pursuant to, or required by, applicable law, regulation or legal process to disclose any non-public information, such party will notify the other promptly prior to any such disclosure so that such party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in such party’s sole discretion, waive compliance with the terms of this Section 26. In the event that no such protective order or other remedy is timely obtained, or that such party waives compliance with the terms of this Section 26, the party required to disclose such non-public information or its employees, agents or affiliates will furnish only that portion of the non-public information that it is advised by counsel is legally required and will exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the non-public information.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL

Re:

Sale of Series [ ] Mortgage Loans by

[ ] to

Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mortgage Company

Dear Sir/Madam:

I have acted as counsel to Lydian Private Bank (the “Company”), with respect to certain matters in connection with the sale by the Company of the mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Flow Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement designated as Mortgage Loan Series (the “Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement”) by and between the Company and Xxxxxxx Sachs Mortgage Company (the “Purchaser”), dated as of November 1, 2005, which sale is in the form of whole Mortgage Loans. The Mortgage Loans are listed on Schedule A to the Warranty Xxxx of Sale issued in connection with the Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement.

I have examined the following documents:

the Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement;

the Custodial Agreement;

the form of endorsement of the Mortgage Notes; and

such other documents, records and papers as I have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis for this opinion.

To the extent I have deemed necessary and proper, I have relied upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement. I have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all documents. As to factual matters, I have relied upon statements, certificates and other assurances of public officials and/or of officers and other representatives of the Company, and upon such other certificates as I deemed appropriate, which factual matters have not been independently established or verified by me.

Based upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that;

The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States.

The Company has the power to engage in the transactions contemplated by the Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement and the Custodial Agreement and all requisite power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement, the Custodial Agreement and the Mortgage Loans, and to perform and observe the terms and conditions of such instruments.

Each person who, as an officer or attorney-in-fact of the Company, signed (a) the Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement, (b) the Custodial Agreement, and (c) any other document delivered prior hereto or on the date hereof in connection with the sale and servicing of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement and the person was, at the respective times of such signing and delivery, and is, as of the date hereof, duly elected or appointed, qualified and acting and as such officer or attorney-in-fact, and the signatures of such persons appearing on such documents are their genuine signatures.

Each of the Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement, the Custodial Agreement and the Mortgage Loans, has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and is a legal, valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its respective terms against the Company, subject to the additional assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth below.

The Company has been duly authorized to allow any of its officers to execute any and all documents by original signature in order to complete the transactions contemplated by the Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement and the Custodial Agreement, and by original or facsimile signature in order to execute the endorsements to the Mortgage Notes and the assignments of the Mortgages, and the original or facsimile signature of the officer at the Company executing the endorsements to the Mortgage Notes and the assignments of the Mortgages represents the legal and valid signature of said officer of the Company.

Either (i) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of or compliance by the Company with the Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement, the Custodial Agreement or the sale and delivery of the Mortgage Loans or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement, and the Custodial Agreement; or (ii) any required consent, approval, authorization or order has been obtained by the Company.

Neither the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, nor the fulfillment of the terms of the Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement and the Custodial Agreement, will conflict with or results in or will result in a breach of or constitutes or will constitute a default under the charter or by-laws of the Company, the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or to which it is subject, or violates any statute or order, rule, regulations, writ, injunction or decree of any court, governmental authority or regulatory body to which the Company is subject or by which it is bound.

There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened against the Company which, in my opinion, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, may result in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Company or in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Company to carry on its business substantially as now conducted or in any material liability on the part of the Company or which would draw into question the validity of the Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement, and the Custodial Agreement, or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Company to perform under the terms of the Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement and the Custodial Agreement.

For purposes of the foregoing, I have not regarded any legal or governmental actions, investigations or proceedings to be “threatened” unless the potential litigant or governmental authority has manifested to the legal department of the Company or an employee of the Company responsible for the receipt of process a present intention to initiate such proceedings; nor have I regarded any legal or governmental actions, investigations or proceedings as including those that are conducted by state or federal authorities in connection with their routine regulatory activities. The sale of each Mortgage Note and Mortgage as and in the manner contemplated by the Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement is sufficient fully to transfer all right, title and interest of the Company thereto as noteholder and mortgagee, apart from the rights to service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement.

The opinions above are subject to the following additional assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations:

My opinion is expressed in the paragraphs above are subject to the qualifications that (i) the enforceability of the Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement may be limited by the effect of laws relating to (1) bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws nor or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally, including, without limitation, the effect of statutes regarding fraudulent conveyance or preferential transfers and (2) general principles of equity upon the specific enforceability of any of the remedies, covenants or other provisions of the Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement and upon the availability of injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and the application of principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) as such principles relate to, limit or affect the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding for such enforcement may be brought; and (ii) I express no opinion herein with respect to the validity, legality, binding effect or enforceability of provisions for indemnification in the Agreements to the extent such provisions may be held to be unenforceable as contrary to public policy.

I have assumed, without independent check or certification, that there are no agreements or understandings among the Company, the Purchaser and any other party which would expand, modify or otherwise affect the terms of the documents described herein or the respective rights or obligations of the parties thereunder.

I am admitted to practice in the State of organization of the Company and the State of Florida and I render no opinion herein as to matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of organization of the Company and the State of Florida and the federal laws of the United States of America.

This opinion is given to you for your sole benefit, and no other person or entity is entitled to rely hereon except that the purchaser or purchasers to which you initially and directly resell the Mortgage Loans may rely on this opinion as if it were addressed to them as of its date.

Sincerely,

EXHIBIT E

It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Assignor set forth in Section 6 to repurchase a Mortgage Loan constitute the sole remedies available to the Assignee and its assigns on their behalf respecting a breach of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 5. It is further understood and agreed that the Assignor shall be deemed not to have made the representations and warranties in this Section 5 with respect to, and to the extent of, representations and warranties made, as to the matters covered in this Section 5, by the Servicer in the Servicing Agreement (or any officer’s certificate delivered pursuant thereto).

It is understood and agreed that the Assignor has made no representations or warranties to the Assignee other than those contained in this Section 5, and no other affiliate of the Assignor has made any representations or warranties of any kind to the Assignee.

Repurchase of Mortgage Loans. Upon discovery or notice of any breach by the Assignor of any representation, warranty, or covenant under this Assignment Agreement that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Assignee 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 Assignee therein if the Assignee incurs a loss as a result of such defect or breach), the Assignee promptly shall request that the Assignor cure such breach and, if the Assignor does not cure such breach in all material respects within 60 days from the date on which it is notified of the breach, the Assignee may enforce the Assignor’s obligation hereunder to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Assignee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if such breach is a Qualification Defect, such cure or repurchase must take place within 75 days of the Defect Discovery Date.

In the event the Servicer has breached a representation or warranty under the Servicing Agreement that is substantially identical to a representation or warranty breached by the Assignor hereunder, the Assignee shall first proceed against the Servicer. If the Servicer does not within 60 days after notification of the breach, take steps to cure such breach (which may include certifying to progress made and requesting an extension of the time to cure such breach, as permitted under the Servicing Agreement) or purchase, or substitute for the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of the Assignor hereunder to cure such breach or to purchase the Mortgage Loan from the Trust. In such event, the Assignor shall succeed to the rights of the Assignee to enforce the obligations of the Servicer to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the related Servicing Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan

Except as specifically set forth herein, the Assignee shall have no responsibility to enforce any provision of this Assignment Agreement, to oversee compliance hereof, or to take notice of any breach or default thereof.

Continuing Effect. Except as contemplated hereby, the Servicing Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Any notices or other communications permitted or required hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed conclusively to have been given if personally delivered at or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, and return receipt requested or transmitted by telex, telegraph or telecopier and confirmed by a similar mailed writing, to: (i) in the case of the Servicer, [______________________, _____________________] or such address as may hereafter be furnished by the Servicer; (ii) in the case of the Assignee, _________________, _________________, Attention: ________________________, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished by the Assignee, and (iii) in the case of the Assignor, __________________, Attention: _________________, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished by the Assignor.
