(2)	On or prior to the Distribution Date in April 2008, the Pass-Through Rate on the Class 1-A-1 Certificates and Class R Certificates will be a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates on the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1, weighted on the basis of the outstanding principal balances of those Mortgage Loans, over 0.86% per annum, and thereafter, the excess, if any, of the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates on the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1, over 1.244% per annum.

(3)	On or prior to the Distribution Date in April 2008, the Pass-Through rate on the Class 1-A-X Certificates will be a per annum rate equal to 0.86% per annum, and thereafter, 1.244% per annum. Interest on the Class 1-A-X Certificates will accrue based on a Notional Amount equal to the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 1-A-1 Certificates.

(4)	The Pass-Through Rate on the Class 2-A Certificates will be a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates on the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2, weighted on the basis of the outstanding principal balances of those mortgage loans.

(9)	The Pass-Through Rate on the Class 5-A-X Certificates will be a per annum rate equal to (i) the excess, if any, of (a) the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates on the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 5, over (b) the weighted average of the Pass-Through Rates for the Class 5-A-1, Class 5-A-2, Class 5-A-3, Class 5-A-4, Class 5-A-5, Class 5-A-6 and Class 5-A-7 Certificates, weighted on the basis of the Certificate Principal Balances of those Classes of Certificates, and in the case of each Class of Class 5-A Certificates, (other than the Class 5-A-X Certificates and the Class 5-A-6 Certificates following the first accrual period), multiplied by a quotient equal to the actual number of days in the related accrual period divided by 30.

Any scheduled reduction to the Senior Prepayment Percentage for the Group 1, Group 2, Group 3, Group 4 and Group 5 Senior Certificates shall not be made as of any Distribution Date unless, as of the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date (1) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans delinquent 60 days or more (including for this purpose any such Mortgage Loans in foreclosure and bankruptcy and such Mortgage Loans with respect to which the related mortgaged property has been acquired by the trust) averaged over the last six months, as a percentage of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Subordinate Certificates does not exceed 50% and (2) cumulative Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans do not exceed (a) 30% of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Original Subordinate Principal Balance if such Distribution Date occurs between and including July 2015 and June 2016, (b) 35% of the Original Subordinate Principal Balance if such Distribution Date occurs between and including July 2016 and June 2017, (c) 40% of the Original Subordinate Principal Balance if such Distribution Date occurs between and including July 2017 and June 2018, (d) 45% of the Original Subordinate Principal Balance if such Distribution Date occurs between and

including July 2018 and June 2019, and (e) 50% of the Original Subordinate Principal Balance if such Distribution Date occurs during or after July 2019.

In addition, if on or before the Distribution Date in June 2008, the current weighted average of the Subordinate Percentages is equal to or greater than two times the initial weighted average of the Subordinate Percentages, and the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans delinquent 60 days or more (including for this purpose any such Mortgage Loans in foreclosure and bankruptcy and such Mortgage Loans with respect to which the related mortgaged property has been acquired by the trust), averaged over the last six months, as a percentage of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Subordinate Certificates does not exceed 50% and cumulative Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans as of the end of the related Prepayment Period do not exceed 20% of the Original Subordinate Principal Balance, then, in each case, the Senior Prepayment Percentages for the Group 1, Group 2, Group 3, Group 4 and Group 5 Senior Certificates for such Distribution Date will equal the Senior Percentage for the Group 1, Group 2, Group 3, Group 4 and Group 5 Senior Certificates, respectively, plus 50% of the related Subordinate Percentage on such Distribution Date. If after the Distribution Date in June 2008, the current weighted average of the Subordinate Percentages is equal to or greater than two times the initial weighted average of the Subordinate Percentages, and the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans delinquent 60 days or more (including for this purpose any such Mortgage Loans in foreclosure and bankruptcy and such Mortgage Loans with respect to which the related mortgaged property has been acquired by the trust), averaged over the last six months, as a percentage of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Subordinate Certificates does not exceed 50% and the cumulative Realized Losses do not exceed 30% of the Original Subordinate Principal Balance, then the Senior Prepayment Percentages for the Group 1, Group 2, Group 3, Group 4 and Group 5 Senior Certificates for such Distribution Date, will equal the Senior Percentage for the Group 1, Group 2, Group 3, Group 4 and Group 5 Senior Certificates, respectively.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on any Distribution Date, the percentage, the numerator of which is the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Senior Certificates (other than the Class 1-A-X, Class 3-A-X and Class 5-A-X Certificates) immediately preceding such Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the beginning of the related Due Period, exceeds such percentage as of the Cut-off Date, then the Senior Prepayment Percentage with respect to the Senior Certificates for such Distribution Date will equal 100%.

Determination of LIBOR.

LIBOR applicable to the calculation of the Pass-Through Rate on the Class 5-A Certificates (other than the Class 5-A-X Certificates) for any Accrual Period will be determined on each LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date.

On each LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date, LIBOR shall be established by the Trustee and, as to any Accrual Period, will equal the rate for one month United States dollar deposits that appears on the Telerate Screen Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date. “Telerate Screen Page 3750” means the display designated as page 3750 on the Telerate Service (or such other page as may replace page 3750 on that service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates of major banks). If such rate does not appear on such page (or such other page as may replace that page on that service, or if such service is no longer offered, LIBOR shall be so established by use of such other service for displaying LIBOR or comparable rates as may be selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Master Servicer), the rate will be the Reference Bank Rate. The “Reference Bank Rate” will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. Dollars are offered by the reference banks (which shall be any three major banks that are engaged in transactions in the London interbank market, selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Master Servicer) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period of one month in amounts approximately equal to the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 5-A Certificates (other than the Class 5-A-X Certificates) then outstanding. The Trustee will request the principal London office of each of the reference banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations rounded up to the next multiple of 1/16%. If on such date fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by one or more major banks in New York City, selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Master Servicer, as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date for loans in U.S. Dollars to leading European banks for a period of one month in amounts approximately equal to the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 5-A Certificates (other than the Class 5-A-X Certificates) then outstanding. If no such quotations can be obtained, the rate will be LIBOR for the prior Distribution Date; provided however, if, under the priorities described above, LIBOR for a Distribution Date would be based on LIBOR for the previous Distribution Date for the third consecutive Distribution Date, the Trustee shall select an alternative comparable index after consultation with the Master Servicer (over which the Trustee has no control), used for determining one-month Eurodollar lending rates that is calculated and published (or otherwise made available) by an independent party.

The establishment of LIBOR by the Trustee on any LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date and the Trustee’s subsequent calculation of the Pass-Through Rate applicable to the Class 5-A Certificates (other than the Class 5-A-X Certificates) for the relevant Accrual Period, in the absence of manifest error, will be final and binding.

Promptly following each LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date the Trustee shall supply the Master Servicer with the results of its determination of LIBOR on such date. Furthermore, the Trustee will supply to any Certificateholder so requesting by telephone the Pass-Through Rate on the Class A Certificates for the current and the immediately preceding Accrual Period.

Section 1.03.

Allocation of Certain Interest Shortfalls.

For purposes of calculating the amount of Uncertificated Accrued Interest for the REMIC 1 Regular Interests for any Distribution Date, the aggregate amount of any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls (to the extent not covered by payments by the Subservicer or Master Servicer) and any Relief Act Interest Shortfalls incurred in respect of the Mortgage Loans for any Distribution Date

For purposes of calculating the amount of Uncertificated Accrued Interest for the REMIC 2 Regular Interests for any Distribution Date, the aggregate amount of any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls (to the extent not covered by payments by the Subservicer or Master Servicer) and any Relief Act Interest Shortfalls incurred in respect of the Mortgage Loans for any Distribution Date shall be allocated to Uncertificated Accrued Interest payable to REMIC 2 Regular Interest 1-A-1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest 2-A, REMIC 2 Regular Interest 3-A-1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest 4-A, REMIC 2 Regular Interest 5-A-1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest 5-A-2, REMIC 2 Regular Interest 5-A-3, REMIC 2 Regular Interest 5-A-4, REMIC 2 Regular Interest 5-A-5, REMIC 2 Regular Interest 5-A-6, REMIC 2 Regular Interest 5-A-7, REMIC 2 Regular Interest B-1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest B-2, REMIC 2 Regular Interest B-3, REMIC 2 Regular Interest B-4, REMIC 2 Regular Interest B-5, REMIC 2 Regular Interest B-6 and REMIC 2 Regular Interest R-III, pro rata, based on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable respective Uncertificated REMIC 2 Pass-Through Rate on the respective Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC 2 Regular Interest.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original Mortgage after it has been recorded, the Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations hereunder upon delivery to the Custodian of a copy of such Mortgage certified by the public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the recorded original thereof.

If any Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded to the Custodian because of any defect therein, the Seller is required, as described in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to prepare a substitute Assignment or cure such defect, as the case may be, and the Seller shall cause such Assignment to be recorded in accordance with this section.

The Seller is required as described in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to exercise its best reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be

delivered to the Custodian within 120 days of the Closing Date, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the original or a photocopy of the title insurance policy with respect to each such Mortgage Loan assigned to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 2.01.

In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS® System, the Seller further agrees that it will cause, at the Seller’s own expense, as of the Closing Date, the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Seller to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Company further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Master Servicer to, and the Master Xxxxxxxx agrees that it will not, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans which are not delivered to the Custodian are and shall be held by the Master Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

Except as may otherwise expressly be provided herein, none of the Company, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall (and the Master Servicer shall ensure that no Subservicer shall) assign, sell, dispose of or transfer any interest in the Trust Fund or any portion thereof, or cause the Trust Fund or any portion thereof to be subject to any lien, claim, mortgage, security interest, pledge or other encumbrance.

It is intended that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Company to the Trustee as provided in this Section be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans as provided for in this Section 2.01 by the Company to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. It is, further, not intended that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Company to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Company. However, in the event that the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Company, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, then it is intended that, (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction; (b) the conveyance provided for in this Section shall be deemed to be (1) a grant by the Company to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Company’s right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (A) the Mortgage Loans, including the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, any related Insurance Policies and all other documents in the related Mortgage Files, (B) all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and (C) all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Certificate Account or the Custodial Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property and (2) an assignment by the Company to the Trustee of any security interest in any and all of the Seller’s right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned

or hereafter acquired, in and to the property described in the foregoing clauses (1)(A) through (C); (c) the possession by the Trustee or any other Custodian or agent of the Trustee of Mortgage Notes and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by a purchaser or a person designated by such secured party, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction (including, without limitation, Sections 9-115, 9-305, 8-102, 8-301, 8-501 and 8-503 thereof); and (d) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Company and the Trustee shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the REMIC 1 Regular Interests, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement.

Section 2.02.

Acceptance of the Trust Fund by the Trustee.

The Custodian, with respect to the Mortgage Files held by it, acknowledges receipt (subject to any exceptions noted in the Initial Certification described below) on behalf of the Trustee, of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and all other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it holds or will hold such other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” (to the extent delivered or assigned to the Trustee), in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

The Custodian agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to review or cause to be reviewed on its behalf, each Mortgage File on or before the Closing Date to ascertain that all documents required to be delivered to it are in its possession, and the Custodian agrees to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Company and the Master Servicer on the Closing Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C to the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in such certification as not covered by such certification), (i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in items (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the definition of the “Mortgage Loan Schedule” accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File. None of the Custodian, the Trustee or the Master Servicer shall be under any duty to determine whether any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in clause (vi) or (vii) of Section 2.01. None of the Custodian, the Trustee or the Master Servicer shall be under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded, or they are in recordable form or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

Within 90 days of the Closing Date, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee, or the Custodian on its behalf, shall deliver to the Company and the Master Servicer a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit D evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon, with respect to all of the Mortgage Loans.

If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and preparing the certifications referred to above the Custodian finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective in any material respect, the Custodian shall promptly notify the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trustee (if not the Custodian) and the Company. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller of such defect and request that the Seller cure any such defect within 60 days from the date on which the Seller was notified of such defect, and if the Seller does not cure such defect in all material respects during such period, request on behalf of the Certificateholders that the Seller purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price within 90 days after the date on which the Seller was notified of such defect; provided that if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure a material defect in, or purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which a material defect in a constituent document exists shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. The Purchase Price for the purchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited or caused to be deposited upon receipt by the Master Servicer in the Custodial Account and, upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Custodian shall release or cause to be released to the Seller the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall require as necessary to vest in the Seller ownership of any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and at such time the Trustee and the Custodian shall have no further responsibility with respect to the related Mortgage File. In furtherance of the foregoing, if the Seller is not a member of MERS and the Mortgage is registered on the MERS® System, the Master Servicer, at its own expense and without any right of reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and regulations.

Upon discovery by either the Company, the Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in this Section 2.03 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.

Section 2.04.

Representations and Warranties of the Seller.

The Company hereby assigns to the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders all of its rights (but none of its obligations) in, to and under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Insofar as the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement relates to such representations and warranties and any remedies provided thereunder for any breach of such representations and warranties, such right, title and interest may be enforced by the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. Upon the discovery by the Company, the Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller of such breach and request that the Seller shall, within 90 days from the date that the Seller was notified or otherwise obtained knowledge of such breach, either (i) cure such breach in all material respects or (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price and in the manner set forth in Section 2.02; provided that if such breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered. However, in the case of a breach under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, subject to the approval of the Company

the Seller shall have the option to substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for such Mortgage Loan if such substitution occurs within two years following the Closing Date, except that if the breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such substitution must occur within 90 days from the date the breach was discovered if such 90 day period expires before two years following the Closing Date. In the event that the Seller elects to substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04, the Trustee shall enforce the obligation of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, as appropriate, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the original Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, an Assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.01. No substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution, to the extent received by the Master Servicer or the Subservicer, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Master Servicer and remitted by the Master Servicer to the Seller on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the Monthly Payment due on a Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Company shall amend or cause to be amended the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Company shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, the Seller shall be deemed to have made the representations and warranties with respect to the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan contained in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement as of the date of substitution, and the Company shall be deemed to have made with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit I hereof (other than representations (xiv), (xvi), (xxix) and (xxxiii) through (xli)).

In connection with the substitution of one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will determine the amount (the “Substitution Adjustment”), if any, by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (in each case after application of the principal portion of the Monthly Payments due in the month of substitution that are to be distributed to Certificateholders in the month of substitution). The Trustee shall enforce the obligation of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to provide the Master Servicer on the day of substitution for immediate deposit into the Custodial Account the amount of such shortfall, without any reimbursement therefor. In accordance with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall give notice in writing to the Trustee of such event, which notice shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate as to the calculation of such shortfall and by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on “contributions after the startup date” under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code or (b) any portion of REMIC 1,

REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. The costs of any substitution as described above, including any related assignments, opinions or other documentation in connection therewith shall be borne by the Seller.

Except as expressly set forth herein none of the Trustee or the Master Servicer is under any obligation to discover any breach of the above-mentioned representations and warranties. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure such breach, purchase or to substitute for such Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders.

Section 2.05.

Issuance of Certificates.

(a) The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans and the delivery to it or to a Custodian on its behalf of the Mortgage Files, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.01 and 2.02, together with the assignment to it of all other assets included in the Trust Fund, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged. Concurrently with such assignment and delivery and in exchange therefor, the Trustee, pursuant to the written request of the Company executed by an officer of the Company, has executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the Company, the Certificates in authorized denominations. The interests evidenced by the Certificates, constitute the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund.

(b) The Company, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in trust to the Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the Company in and to the REMIC 1 Regular Interests, and the other assets of REMIC 2 for the benefit of the holders of the REMIC 2 Regular Interests and Class R-II Certificates. The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests (which are uncertificated) and the other assets of REMIC 2 and declares that it holds and will hold the same in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of the holders of the REMIC 2 Regular Interests and Class R-II Certificates.

(c) The Company, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in trust to the Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the Company in and to the REMIC 2 Regular Interests, and the other assets of REMIC 2 for the benefit of the holders of the REMIC 3 Regular Interests and Class R-III Certificates. The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the REMIC 2 Regular Interests (which are uncertificated) and the other assets of REMIC 2 and declares that it holds and will hold the same in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of the holders of the REMIC 3 Regular Interests and Class R-III Certificates.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING

OF THE TRUST FUND

Section 3.01.

Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall supervise, or take such actions as are necessary to ensure, the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Property in accordance with this Agreement and its normal servicing practices, which generally shall conform to the standards (i) of the Servicing Guide, if Impac Funding Corporation is Master Servicer, or (ii) if Impac Funding Corporation is not the Master Servicer, of an institution prudently servicing Mortgage Loans for its own account and shall have full authority to do anything it reasonably deems appropriate or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration. To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall waive (or permit the Subservicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge only if such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and related Mortgage Loan and doing so is standard and customary in servicing Mortgage Loans similar to the Mortgage Loans (including any waiver of a Prepayment Charge in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default), and in no event will it waive a Prepayment Charge in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is not related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default.

The Master Servicer may perform its responsibilities relating to servicing through other agents or independent contractors, but shall not thereby be released from any of its responsibilities as hereinafter set forth. The authority of the Master Servicer, in its capacity as master servicer, and the Subservicer acting on its behalf, shall include, without limitation, the power to (i) consult with and advise the Subservicer regarding administration of a related Mortgage Loan, (ii) approve any recommendation by a Subservicer to foreclose on a related Mortgage Loan, (iii) supervise the filing and collection of insurance claims and take or cause to be taken such actions on behalf of the insured Person thereunder as shall be reasonably necessary to prevent the denial of coverage thereunder, and (iv) effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing a related Mortgage Loan, including the employment of attorneys, the institution of legal proceedings, the collection of deficiency judgments, the acceptance of compromise proposals, the filing of claims under any Insurance Policy and any other matter pertaining to a delinquent Mortgage Loan. The authority of the Master Servicer shall include, in addition, the power on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Trustee or any of them to (i) execute and deliver customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) consent to transfer of any related Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the related Mortgage Notes and Security Instruments (in the manner provided in this Agreement) and (iii) collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds. If permitted under applicable law without prejudicing any rights of the Trust Fund with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer, with such documentation as local law requires, acting in its own name, may pursue claims on behalf of the Trust Fund. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer and the Subservicer acting on its behalf may, and is hereby authorized, and empowered by the Trustee to, execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Certificateholders or the Trustee or any of them, any instruments of satisfaction, cancellation, partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the related

Mortgage Loans, the Insurance Policies and the accounts related thereto, and the Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer may exercise this power in its own name or in the name of a Subservicer.

Subject to Section 3.16, the Trustee shall execute, at the written request of the Master Servicer, and furnish to the Master Servicer and the Subservicer such documents as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or the Subservicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee hereby grants to the Master Servicer a power of attorney to carry out such duties. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Master Servicer or the Subservicers under such powers of attorney.

In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section 3.11; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be obligated to make such advance if, in its good faith judgment, the Master Servicer determines that such advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

The Master Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of any Subservicer, when the Master Servicer or such Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns. Any expenses incurred in connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence shall be borne by the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 3.17, with no right of reimbursement; provided, that if, as a result of MERS discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in connection with the MERS System, it becomes necessary to remove any Mortgage Loan from registration on the MERS System and to arrange for the assignment of the related Mortgages to the Trustee, then any related expenses shall be reimbursable to the Master Servicer from the Trust Fund.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall not (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (i) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (ii) cause any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” after the startup date under the REMIC Provisions.

The relationship of the Master Servicer (and of any successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement) to the Trustee under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.

Section 3.02.

Subservicing Agreements Between Master Servicer and Subservicers.

(a) The Master Servicer may enter into Subservicing Agreements with Subservicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans and for the performance of any and all other activities of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by Standard & Poor’s of its rating on any Class of Certificates. Each Subservicer shall be either (i) an institution the accounts of which are insured by the FDIC or (ii) another entity that engages in the business of originating or servicing Mortgage Loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans, and in either case shall be authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Subservicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Subservicing Agreement, and in either case shall be a Freddie Mac or Xxxxxx Xxx approved mortgage servicer. Any Subservicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer shall include the provision that such Agreement may be immediately terminated (x) with cause and without any termination fee by any Master Servicer hereunder or (y) without cause in which case the Master Servicer shall be responsible for any termination fee or penalty resulting therefrom. In addition, each Subservicing Agreement shall provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Subservicers may enter into Subservicing Agreements and make amendments to the Subservicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Subservicing Agreements providing for, among other things, the delegation by the Master Servicer to a Subservicer of additional duties regarding the administration of the Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights. The parties hereto acknowledge that the initial Subservicer shall be GMAC.

The Master Servicer has entered into a separate Subservicing Agreement with each of GMAC and Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP for the servicing and administration of certain of the Mortgage Loans and may enter into additional Subservicing Agreements with Subservicers for the servicing and administration of certain of the Mortgage Loans.

(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Subservicer under the related Subservicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Subservicing Agreements and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, but shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.

(c)	[Reserved].

(d) The Master Servicer represents that it will cause any Subservicer to accurately and fully report its borrower credit files to all three credit repositories in a timely manner.

Section 3.03.

Successor Subservicers.

The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Subservicer pursuant to any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any Subservicer, all servicing obligations of such Subservicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Master Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Subservicer or the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer which qualifies under Section 3.02.

Section 3.04.

Liability of the Master Servicer.

Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall under all circumstances remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee and Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Property in accordance with the provisions of Article III without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on Mortgage Loans when the Subservicer has received such payments. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Subservicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

Section 3.05.

No Contractual Relationship Between Subservicers and Trustee or Certificateholders.

Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the Master Servicer alone, and the Trustee and Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer except as set forth in Section 3.06. The Master Servicer (or Subservicer) shall be liable for the payment of any franchise taxes which may be assessed by the California Franchise Tax Board in connection with the activities of the Trust under this Agreement.

Section 3.06.

Assumption or Termination of Subservicing Agreements by Trustee.

(a) If the Trustee or its designee shall assume the master servicing obligations of the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 7.02 below, the Trustee, to the extent necessary to permit the Trustee to carry out the provisions of Section 7.02 with respect to the Mortgage

Loans, shall succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under each of the Subservicing Agreements. In such event, the Trustee or its designee as the successor master servicer shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s rights and obligations therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to such Subservicing Agreements to the same extent as if such Subservicing Agreements had been assigned to the Trustee or its designee as a successor master servicer, except that the Trustee or its designee as a successor master servicer shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligations or liabilities of the Master Servicer arising prior to such assumption (other than the obligation to make any Advances hereunder) and the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under such Subservicing Agreements arising prior to such assumption. Nothing in the foregoing shall be deemed to entitle the Trustee or its designee as a successor master servicer at any time to receive any portion of the servicing compensation provided under Section 3.17 except for such portion as the Master Servicer would be entitled to receive.

(b) In the event that the Trustee or its designee as successor master servicer for the Trustee assumes the servicing obligations of the Master Servicer under Section 7.02, upon the reasonable request of the Trustee or such designee as successor master servicer the Master Servicer shall at its own expense deliver to the Trustee, or at its written request to such designee, photocopies of all documents, files and records, electronic or otherwise, relating to the Subservicing Agreements and the related Mortgage Loans or REO Property then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it, if any, and will otherwise cooperate and use its reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreements, or responsibilities hereunder to the Trustee, or at its written request to such designee as successor master servicer.

Section 3.07.

Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

(a) The Master Servicer will coordinate and monitor remittances by Subservicers to the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) The Master Servicer shall make its reasonable efforts to collect or cause to be collected all payments required under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans and shall follow, and use its reasonable efforts to cause Subservicers to follow, collection procedures comparable to the collection procedures of prudent mortgage lenders servicing Mortgage Loans for their own account to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive or permit to be waived any late payment charge, prepayment charge, assumption fee, or any penalty interest in connection with the prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and (ii) suspend or reduce or permit to be suspended or reduced regular monthly payments for a period of up to six months, or arrange or permit an arrangement with a Mortgagor for a scheduled liquidation of delinquencies. In the event the Master Servicer shall consent to the deferment of the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note, the Master Servicer shall nonetheless make an Advance or shall cause the related Subservicer to make an advance to the same extent as if such installment were due, owing and delinquent and had not been deferred through liquidation of the Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that the obligation of the Master Servicer or related Subservicer to make an Advance shall apply only to the extent that the Master Servicer believes, in good faith, that such advances are not Nonrecoverable Advances.

(c) On each Determination Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which during the related Prepayment Period the Master Servicer has determined that all amounts which it expects to recover from or on account of each such Mortgage Loan have been recovered and that no further Liquidation Proceeds will be received in connection therewith, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer that such Mortgage Loan became a Liquidated Mortgage Loan in a Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition.

The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it would follow with respect to Mortgage Loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. The Master Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Primary Hazard Insurance Policy or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that it is prohibited by applicable law from enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required. The Master Servicer shall be responsible for preparing and distributing all information statements relating to payments on the Mortgage Loans, in accordance with all applicable federal and state tax laws and regulations.

Section 3.08.

Subservicing Accounts.

In those cases where a Subservicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement, the Subservicer will be required to establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Subservicing Account”). The Subservicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall otherwise be acceptable to the Master Servicer. All amounts held in a Subservicing Account shall be held in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Any investment of funds held in such an account shall be in Permitted Investments maturing not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Subservicer Remittance Date. The Subservicer will be required to deposit into the Subservicing Account no later than two Business Days after receipt all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Subservicer, less its servicing compensation and any unreimbursed expenses and advances, to the extent permitted by the Subservicing Agreement. On each Subservicer Remittance Date the Subservicer will be required to remit to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Custodial Account all funds held in the Subservicing Account with respect to any Mortgage Loan as of the Subservicer Remittance Date, after deducting from such remittance an amount equal to the servicing compensation (including interest on Permitted Investments) and unreimbursed expenses and advances to which it is then entitled pursuant to the related Subservicing Agreement, to the extent not previously paid to or retained by it. In addition, on each Subservicer Remittance Date the Subservicer will be required to remit to the Master Servicer any amounts required to be advanced pursuant to the related Subservicing Agreement. The Subservicer will also be required to remit to the Master Servicer, within five Business Days of receipt, the proceeds of any Principal Prepayment made by the Mortgagor, and, on each Subservicer Remittance Date, the amount of any Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds received during the related Prepayment Period.

Section 3.09.

Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts.

The Master Servicer and the Subservicers shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), and shall deposit and retain therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from Subservicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, Primary Hazard Insurance Policy premiums, and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors, to the extent that the Master Servicer customarily escrows for such amounts. Withdrawals of amounts so collected from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, Primary Hazard Insurance Policy premiums and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Master Servicer (or a Subservicer to the extent provided in the related Subservicing Agreement) out of related collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments), and 3.13 (with respect to Primary Hazard Insurance Policies); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; or (iv) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer or Subservicers shall, if and to the extent required by law, pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.

Section 3.10.

Custodial Account.

(a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Custodial Account”) in which the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis, or as and when received from the Subservicers, the following payments and collections received or made by or on behalf of it subsequent to the Cut-off Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans, or payments received by it prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto (other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date):

(i) all payments (including advances by a Subservicer) on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;

(ii) all payments (including advances by a Subservicer) on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, net of any portion thereof retained by the Master Servicer or any Subservicer as Servicing Fees and, with respect to the GMAC Mortgage Loans, net of any Prepayment Interest Excess;

(iii) all Insurance Proceeds, other than proceeds that represent reimbursement of costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer or any Subservicer in connection with presenting claims under the related Insurance Policies, Liquidation Proceeds and REO Proceeds;

(iv) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property repurchased or purchased in accordance with Sections 2.02, 2.04, 3.14 or 9.01; and all amounts required to be deposited in connection with the substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.04; and

(v) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12, 3.13, 3.15 or 3.22.

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive. In the event the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may withdraw such amount from the Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Custodial Account shall be maintained as a segregated account, separate and apart from trust funds created for mortgage pass-through certificates of other series, and the other accounts of the Master Servicer.

(b) Funds in the Custodial Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee and the Company of the location of the Custodial Account after any change thereof.

Section 3.11.

Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.

The Master Servicer may, from time to time as provided herein, make withdrawals from the Custodial Account of amounts on deposit therein pursuant to Section 3.10 that are attributable to the Mortgage Loans for the following purposes:

(i) to make deposits into the Certificate Account in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 4.01;

(ii) to pay to itself, the Company, the Seller or any other appropriate person, as the case may be, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has previously been purchased or repurchased pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.04, 3.14 or 9.01 all amounts received thereon and not yet distributed as of the date of purchase or repurchase;

(iii) to reimburse itself or any Subservicer for Advances not previously reimbursed, the Master Servicer’s or any Subservicer’s right to reimbursement pursuant to this clause (iii) being limited to amounts received which represent Late Collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of Monthly Payments on Mortgage Loans with respect to which such Advances were made and as further provided in Section 3.15;

(iv) to reimburse or pay itself, the Trustee or the Company for expenses incurred by or reimbursable to the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Company pursuant to Sections 3.22, 6.03, 8.05 or 10.01(g), except as otherwise provided in such Sections hereof;

(v) to reimburse itself or any Subservicer for costs and expenses incurred by or reimbursable to it relating to the prosecution of any claims pursuant to Section 3.13 that are in excess of the amounts so recovered;

(vi) to reimburse itself or any Subservicer for unpaid Master Servicing Fees, Subservicing Fees and unreimbursed Servicing Advances, the Master Servicer’s or any Subservicer’s right to reimbursement pursuant to this clause (vi) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to late recoveries of the payments for which such advances were made pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.09 and any other related Late Collections;

(vii) to pay itself as servicing compensation (in addition to the Master Servicing Fee and Subservicing Fee), on or after each Distribution Date, any interest or investment income

earned on funds deposited in the Custodial Account for the period ending on such Distribution Date;

(viii) to reimburse itself or any Subservicer for any Advance or Servicing Advance previously made, after a Realized Loss has been allocated with respect to the related Mortgage Loan if the Advance or Servicing Advance was not reimbursed pursuant to clauses (iii) and (vi);

(ix)	to pay Radian the premium under the PMI Insurer Policies; and

(x) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account at the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.

The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting records on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Custodial Account pursuant to such subclauses (ii) through (x).

Section 3.12.

Permitted Investments.

Any institution maintaining the Custodial Account shall at the direction of the Master Servicer invest the funds in such account in Permitted Investments, each of which shall mature not later than (i) the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Trustee is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee is the obligor thereon and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All income and gain realized from any such investment as well as any interest earned on deposits in the Custodial Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such investment immediately upon realization of such loss without right of reimbursement.

The Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Trustee’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Permitted Investments.

Section 3.13.

Maintenance of Primary Hazard Insurance.

(a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan primary hazard insurance by a Qualified Insurer or other insurer satisfactory to the Rating Agencies with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 100% of the replacement value of the improvements, as determined by the insurance company, on such Mortgaged Property or (ii) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall also cause to be maintained on property acquired upon foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan, fire insurance with extended coverage in an amount equal to the replacement value of the improvements thereon. Any costs incurred in maintaining any insurance described in this Section 3.13 (other than any deductible described in the last paragraph hereof) shall be recoverable as a Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer shall

not be obligated to advance any amounts pursuant to this Section 3.13 if, in its good faith judgment, the Master Servicer determines that such advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Pursuant to Section 3.10, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or property thus acquired or amounts released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer’s normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.

The Master Servicer shall, or shall cause the related Subservicer to, exercise its best reasonable efforts to maintain and keep in full force and effect each Primary Insurance Policy by a Qualified Insurer, or other insurer satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, with respect to each first lien Mortgage Loan as to which as of the Cut-Off Date such a Primary Insurance Policy was in effect (or, in the case of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the date of substitution) and the original principal amount of the related Mortgage Note exceeded 80% of the Collateral Value in an amount at least equal to the excess of such original principal amount over 75% of such Collateral Value until the principal amount of any such first lien Mortgage Loan is reduced below 80% of the Collateral Value or, based upon a new appraisal, the principal amount of such first lien Mortgage Loan represents less than 80% of the new appraised value. The Master Servicer shall, or shall cause the related Subservicer to, effect the timely payment of the premium on each Primary Insurance Policy. The Master Servicer and the related Subservicer shall have the power to substitute for any Primary Insurance Policy another substantially equivalent policy issued by another Qualified Insurer, provided, that, such substitution shall be subject to the condition that it will not cause the ratings on the Certificates to be downgraded or withdrawn, as evidenced in writing from each Rating Agency.

The Master Servicer shall cooperate with Radian and shall use its best efforts to furnish all reasonable aid, evidence and information in the possession of the Master Servicer or to which the Master Servicer has access with respect to any PMI Mortgage Loan.

In the event of a default by Xxxxxx under the PMI Insurer Policy (a “Replacement Event”), the Master Servicer shall use its best efforts to obtain a substitute lender-paid primary mortgage insurance policy (a “Substitute PMI Policy”); provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be obligated, and shall have no liability for failing, to obtain a Substitute PMI Policy unless such Substitute PMI Policy can be obtained on the following terms and conditions: (i) the Certificates shall be rated no lower than the rating assigned by each Rating Agency to the Certificates immediately prior to such Replacement Event, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency addressed to the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, (ii) the timing and mechanism for drawing on such new Substitute PMI Policy shall be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Trustee and (iii) the premiums under the proposed Substitute PMI Policy shall not exceed such premiums under the existing PMI Insurer Policy.

With respect to the PMI Mortgage Loans covered by a PMI Insurer Policy, the Master Servicer will confirm with Xxxxxx, and Xxxxxx will certify to the Trustee, on or before August 1, 2005, that the Mortgage Loans indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as being covered by PMI Insurer Policy are so covered.

No earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired with respect to a security instrument other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and shall require such additional insurance. When, at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan or at any subsequent time, the Mortgaged Property is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Master Servicer shall cause with respect to the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property flood insurance (to the extent available and in accordance with mortgage servicing industry practice) to be maintained. Such flood insurance shall cover the Mortgaged Property, including all items taken into account in arriving at the Collateral Value on which the Mortgage Loan was based, and shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the minimum amount required under the terms of coverage to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis, but not more than the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under either the regular or emergency programs of the National Flood Insurance Program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program). Unless applicable state law requires a higher deductible, the deductible on such flood insurance may not exceed $1,000 or 1% of the applicable amount of coverage, whichever is less.

In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket fire insurance policy with extended coverage insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 3.13, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of this Section 3.13 and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Certificate Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. Any such deposit by the Master Servicer shall be made on the Certificate Account Deposit Date next preceding the Distribution Date which occurs in the month following the month in which payments under any such policy would have been deposited in the Custodial Account. Any such deposit shall not be deemed Servicing Advances and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy.

Section 3.14.

Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

The Master Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage), exercise or cause to be exercised its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any “due-on-sale” clause applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if it

reasonably believes that it is prohibited by law from doing so. The Master Servicer or the related Subservicer may repurchase a Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price when the Master Servicer requires acceleration of the Mortgage Loan, but only if the Master Servicer is satisfied, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, that either (i) such Mortgage Loan is in default or default is reasonably foreseeable or (ii) if such Mortgage Loan is not in default or default is not reasonably foreseeable, such repurchase will have no adverse tax consequences for the Trust Fund or any Certificateholder. If the Master Servicer is unable to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause (as provided in the second preceding sentence) or if no “due-on-sale” clause is applicable, the Master Servicer or the Subservicer is authorized to enter into an assumption and modification agreement with the Person to whom such property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not enter into any assumption and modification agreement if the coverage provided under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, would be impaired by doing so. The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee, whenever possible, before the completion of such assumption agreement, and shall forward to the Custodian the original copy of such assumption agreement, which copy shall be added by the Custodian to the related Mortgage File and which 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. In connection with any such assumption agreement, the interest rate on the related Mortgage Loan shall not be changed and no other material alterations in the Mortgage Loan shall be made unless such material alteration would not cause any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel. The Master Servicer is also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. Any fee collected by or on behalf of the Master Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by or on behalf of the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the Mortgage Rate, the amount of the Monthly Payment and any other term affecting the amount or timing of payment on the Mortgage Loan) may be changed. The Master Servicer shall not enter into any substitution or assumption if such substitution or assumption shall (i) both constitute a “significant modification” effecting an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and cause any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or (ii) cause the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” after the Startup Day under the REMIC Provisions. The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed and shall by forwarding to the Custodian the original copy of such substitution or assumption agreement, which copy 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. A portion equal to up to 2% of the Collateral Value of the related Mortgage Loan, of any fee or additional interest collected by the related Subservicer for consenting in any such conveyance or entering into any such assumption agreement may be retained by the related Subservicer as additional servicing compensation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption that the Master Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 3.14, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale of a Mortgaged Property that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

Section 3.15.

Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

The Master Servicer shall exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Master Servicer would use in servicing loans for its own account, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07, and which are not released from the Trust Fund pursuant to any other provision hereof. The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to realize proceeds from such defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner (including short sales and passing through to the Trust Fund less than the full amount it expects to receive from the related Mortgage Loan) as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by Certificateholders, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its sole discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the net proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to Certificateholders after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Master Servicer through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 3.11. The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related property, as contemplated in Section 3.11.

The proceeds of any Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds or any income from an REO Property, will be deposited into the Custodial Account and applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Subservicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11(vi) or 3.22; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan or REO Imputed Interest, at the Mortgage Rate, to the date of the Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition; and third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than a full recovery thereof, that amount will be allocated as follows: first, to unpaid Master Servicing Fees or Subservicing Fees; and second, to interest at the Net Mortgage Rate. The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Master Servicing Fees or Subservicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Master Servicer or any Subservicer pursuant to Section 3.11(vi). The portions of the recovery so allocated to interest at the Net Mortgage Rate and to principal of the Mortgage Loan shall be applied as follows: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Subservicer for any related unreimbursed Advances in accordance with Section 3.11(iii) or 3.22, second, payment to Radian in accordance with Sections 3.11(ix) and third, for

payment to the Trustee and distribution to the Certificateholders in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01, subject to Section 3.22 with respect to certain recoveries from an REO Disposition constituting Excess Proceeds. To the extent the Master Servicer receives additional recoveries following a Cash Liquidation, the amount of the Realized Loss will be restated, and the additional recoveries will be passed through the Trust Fund as Liquidation Proceeds.

Section 3.16.

Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will immediately notify the Trustee by a certification (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File in the form of the Request for Release attached hereto as Exhibit F-2. Upon receipt by the Custodian of such certification and request, such Custodian shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer. Subject to the receipt by the Master Servicer of the proceeds of such payment in full and the payment of all related fees and expenses, the Master Servicer shall arrange for the release to the Mortgagor of the original canceled Mortgage Note. In connection with the satisfaction of any MOM Loan, the Master Servicer is authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the MERS® System of such Mortgage. All other documents in the Mortgage File shall be retained by the Master Servicer to the extent required by applicable law. The Master Servicer shall provide for preparation of the appropriate instrument of satisfaction covering any Mortgage Loan which pays in full and the Trustee shall cooperate in the execution and return of such instrument to provide for its delivery or recording as may be required. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account.

From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loan, the Custodian shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall execute such documents as the Master Servicer shall prepare and request as being necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Master Servicer to return each document previously requested from the Mortgage File to the Custodian when the need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists; and in any event within 21 days of the Master Servicer’s receipt thereof, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Master Servicer has delivered to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a Request for Release stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such

liquidation which are required to be deposited into the Custodial Account have been or will be so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the Trustee to the Master Servicer.

Upon written request of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents prepared by the Master Servicer that are necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee shall include a certification signed by a Servicing Officer as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale.

Section 3.17.

Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to withhold and retain, from deposits to the Custodial Account of amounts representing payments or recoveries of interest, the Master Servicing Fees and Subservicing Fees with respect to each Mortgage Loan (less any portion of such amounts retained by any Subservicer) and with respect to the GMAC Mortgage Loans, Prepayment Interest Excess. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Master Servicing Fees and Subservicing Fees out of related Late Collections to the extent permitted in Section 3.11.

Each Subservicing Agreement shall permit the related Subservicer to retain the Subservicer Fees from collections on the related Mortgage Loans, or shall provide that the Subservicer be paid directly by the Master Servicer from collections on the related Mortgage Loans. To the extent the Master Servicer directly services a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain the Subservicing Fees for that Mortgage Loan.

The Master Servicer also shall be entitled pursuant to Section 3.11 to receive from the Custodial Account as additional servicing compensation interest or other income earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.23, as well as any assumption fees, late payment charges and reconveyance fees. The Master Servicer shall not be entitled to retain any Prepayment Charges. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of the premiums for any blanket policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.13 and servicing compensation of the Subservicer to the extent not retained by it), and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in Section 3.11. The Master Servicing Fee may not be transformed in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.

Charges. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of the premiums for any blanket policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.13 and servicing compensation of the Subservicer to the extent not retained by it), and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in Section 3.11.

Section 3.18.

Maintenance of Certain Servicing Policies.

The Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and shall cause each Subservicer to obtain and maintain for the duration of this Agreement a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy covering the Master Servicer’s and such Subservicer’s officers, employees and other persons acting on its behalf in connection with its activities under this Agreement. The amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage maintained by the Master Servicer or Subservicer in order to be acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac to service loans for it or otherwise in an amount as is commercially available at a cost that is generally not regarded as excessive by industry standards. The Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any material change in the terms of such bond or policy. The Master Servicer shall provide annually to the Trustee a certificate of insurance that such bond and policy are in effect. If any such bond or policy ceases to be in effect, the Master Servicer shall, to the extent possible, give the Trustee ten days’ notice prior to any such cessation and shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain a comparable replacement bond or policy, as the case may be.

Section 3.21.

Access to Certain Documentation.

The Master Servicer shall provide, and shall cause any Subservicer to provide, to the Trustee, access to the documentation in their possession regarding the related Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and to the Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and examiners of the FDIC (to which the Trustee shall also provide) access to the documentation regarding the related Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations, such access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer or the Subservicers that are designated by these entities; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Subservicer shall not be required to provide access to such documentation if the provision thereof would violate the legal right to privacy of any Mortgagor; provided, further, however, that the Trustee shall coordinate its requests for such access so as not to impose an unreasonable burden on, or cause an unreasonable interruption of, the business of the Master Servicer or any Subservicer. The Master Servicer, the Subservicers and the Trustee shall allow representatives of the above entities to photocopy any of the documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that covers their own actual out-of-pocket costs. The Master Servicer shall designate a Servicing Officer to provide certain information regarding the Mortgage Loans.

Section 3.22.

Title, Conservation and Disposition of REO Property.

This Section shall apply only to REO Properties acquired for the account of REMIC 1 and shall not apply to any REO Property relating to a Mortgage Loan which was purchased or repurchased from REMIC 1 pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.04 or 3.14. In the event that title to any such REO Property is acquired, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer, on behalf of REMIC 1, shall either sell any REO Property before the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which REMIC 1 acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or, at the expense of REMIC 1, request, more than 60 days before the day on which the three-year grace period would otherwise expire an extension of the three-year grace period, unless the Master Servicer has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be at the expense of the Trustee), addressed to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, to the effect that the holding by REMIC 1 of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which REMIC 1 acquires ownership of such REO Property will not result in the imposition on REMIC 1 of taxes on “prohibited transactions” thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or comparable provisions of the laws of the State of California at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Master Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) or result in the receipt by any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Master Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO

Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property.

Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration).

The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets. The Master Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in the Custodial Account all revenues received with respect to the REO Properties, net of any directly related expenses incurred or withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property.

If as of the date of acquisition of title to any REO Property there remain outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to such REO Property or any outstanding Advances allocated thereto the Master Servicer, upon an REO Disposition, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unreimbursed related Advances as well as any unpaid Master Servicing Fees or Subservicing Fees from proceeds received in connection with the REO Disposition, as further provided in Section 3.15. The Master Servicer shall not be obligated to advance any amounts with respect to an REO Property if, in its good faith judgment, the Master Servicer determines that such advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

The REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Master Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Master Servicer shall determine.

The Master Servicer shall deposit the proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any payment to the Master Servicer as provided above, in the Custodial Account upon receipt thereof for distribution in accordance with Section 4.01; provided, that any such net proceeds received by the Master Servicer which are in excess of the applicable Stated Principal Balance plus all unpaid REO Imputed Interest thereon through the last day of the month in which the REO Disposition occurred (“Excess Proceeds”) shall be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Master Servicer has received notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to the related Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, the related Mortgaged Property, unless the Master Servicer has, at least 30 days prior to taking such action, obtained and delivered to the Trustee an environmental audit report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards. The Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund (other than proceeding against the Mortgaged Property) and is hereby authorized at such time as it deems appropriate to release such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage.

The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.22 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as an expense of the Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account as provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Custodial Account.

If the Master Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property in compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund. The cost of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or remediation shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as an expense of the Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account as provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Custodial Account.

Section 3.23.

Additional Obligations of the Master Servicer.

On each Certificate Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account from its own funds and without any right of reimbursement therefor, a total amount equal to the amount of Compensating Interest for the related Distribution Date.

Section 3.24.

Additional Obligations of the Company.

The Company agrees that on or prior to the tenth day after the Closing Date, the Company shall provide the Trustee with a written notification, substantially in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto, relating to each Class of Certificates, setting forth (i) in the case of each Class of such Certificates, (a) if less than 10% of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates has been sold as of such date, the value calculated pursuant to clause (b)(iii) of Exhibit J hereto, or, (b) if 10% or more of such Class of Certificates has been sold as of such date but no single price is paid for at least 10% of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates, then the weighted average price at which the Certificates of such Class were sold and the aggregate percentage of Certificates of such Class sold, (c) the first single price at which at least 10% of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates was sold, or (d) if any Certificates of each Class of Certificates are retained by the Company or an affiliate corporation, or are delivered to the Seller, the fair market value of such Certificates as of the Closing Date, (ii) the Prepayment Assumption used in pricing the Certificates, and (iii) such other information as to matters of fact as the Trustee may reasonably request to enable it to comply with its reporting requirements with respect to each Class of such Certificates to the extent such information can in the good faith judgment of the Company be determined by it.

Section 3.25.

Exchange Act Reporting.

(a) The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with the Trust’s satisfying the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. The Trustee shall prepare on behalf of the Trust any Forms 8-K and 10-K customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Commission thereunder, and the Master Servicer shall sign (or shall cause another entity acceptable to the Commission to sign) and the Trustee shall file (via the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such forms on behalf of the Company (or such other entity). The Company hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of attorney to execute any Form 8-K and file each such document on behalf of the Company. Such power of attorney shall continue until the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trustee from the Company of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer, and not the Trustee, shall be responsible for executing each Form 10-K filed on behalf of the Trust.

(b) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 15 days after each Distribution Date, with a copy of the statement to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required or permitted by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Commission), the Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or applicable Commission staffs interpretations. The Trustee shall prepare the Form 10-K and provide the Master Servicer with the Form 10-K no later than March 20th of each year. The Master Servicer shall execute such Form 10-K upon its receipt and shall provide the original of such executed Form 10-K to the Trustee no later than March 25th of each year. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the Master Servicer’s annual statement of compliance described under Section 3.19 and the accountant’s report described under Section 3.20(a), in each case to the extent they have been timely delivered to the Trustee. If they are not so timely delivered, the Trustee shall file an amended Form 10-K including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Trustee’s inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence or willful misconduct. The Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L-1 (the “Certification”), in compliance with Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Exchange Act and any additional directives of the Commission, which shall be signed by the senior officer of the Master Servicer in charge of securitization.

(c) In addition, the Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L-2) for the benefit of the Master Servicer and its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of items 1 through 3 of the Certification (provided, however, that the Trustee shall not undertake an analysis of any accountant’s report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K).

(d) In addition, (i) the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer and the Company and their officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the Trustee’s obligations under this Section 3.25 caused by the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful

misconduct in connection therewith, and (ii) the Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Company and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Section 3.25 or the Master Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. If (i) the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Master Servicer, then the Trustee agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Master Servicer in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Master Servicer on the one hand and the Trustee on the other in connection with a breach of the Trustee’s obligations under this Section 3.25 caused by the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith and (ii) the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Trustee, then the Master Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Trustee as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Trustee in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Trustee on the one hand and the Master Servicer on the other in connection with a breach of the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Section 3.25 or the Master Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.

(e) In the event the Commission permits separate or split certifications to be made with respect to the items currently contained in the Certification, the Trustee shall provide a certification with respect to items 1 and 2 and the Master Servicer shall provide a certification with respect to items 3, 4 and 5 contained within the Certification, in each case substantially in the form of the Certification attached as Exhibit L-1, or other form as indicated by the Commission for this purpose. In addition, the Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L-3) for the benefit of the Master Servicer and its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of item 3 of the Certification (provided, however, that the Trustee shall not undertake an analysis of any accountant’s report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K).

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.25 may be amended by the Master Servicer, the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the Certificateholders.

(g) Prior to January 30th of the first year in which the Trustee is able to do so under applicable law, the Trustee shall file with the Commission a Form 15D Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust.

If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(g) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.

Remittance Reports; Advances by the Master Servicer.

(a) On each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a report, prepared as of the close of business on Business Day preceding such Determination Date (the “Remittance Report”), in the form of an electromagnetic tape or disk. The Remittance Report and any written information supplemental thereto shall include such information with respect to the Mortgage Loans that is required by the Trustee for purposes of making the calculations and preparing the statement described in Sections 4.01 and 4.02, as set forth in written specifications or guidelines issued by the Trustee from time to time. The Trustee shall have no obligation to recompute, recalculate or verify any information provided to it by the Master Servicer.

(b) The Master Servicer shall determine the aggregate amount of Advances required to be made for the related Distribution Date, which shall be in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof adjusted to the Mortgage Rate less the sum of the Master Servicing Fee Rate, the Subservicing Fee Rate and any applicable PMI Insurer Fee Rate, less the amount of any reductions in the amount of interest collectable from the Mortgagor pursuant to the Relief Act, on the Outstanding Mortgage Loans as of the related Due Date, which Monthly Payments were delinquent as of the close of business as of the related Determination Date); provided that no Advance shall be made if it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. On or before 4:00 P.M. New York time on each Certificate Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall either (i) deposit in the Certificate Account from its own funds, or funds received therefor from the Subservicers, an amount equal to the Advances to be made by the Master Servicer or any Subservicers in respect of the related Distribution Date, (ii) withdraw from amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account and deposit in the Certificate Account all or a portion of the amounts held for future distribution in discharge of any such Advance, or (iii) make advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any portion of the amounts held for future distribution so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Certificate Account on or before 1:00 P.M. New York time on any future Certificate Account Deposit Date to the extent that funds attributable to the Mortgage Loans that are available in the Custodial Account for deposit in the

The amount of any reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.11 in respect of outstanding Advances on any Distribution Date shall be allocated to specific Monthly Payments due but delinquent for previous Due Periods, which allocation shall be made, to the extent practicable, to Monthly Payments which have been delinquent for the longest period of time. Such allocations shall be conclusive for purposes of reimbursement to the Master Servicer from recoveries on related Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.11. The determination by the Master Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by a certificate of a Servicing Officer delivered to the Seller and the Trustee with the Remittance Report. The Trustee shall deposit all funds it receives pursuant to this Section 4.03 into the Certificate Account.

(ii) Distributions of principal shall be deemed to be made from amounts received on the Mortgage Loans to the REMIC 1 Regular Interests, first, so as to keep the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC 1 Regular Interest ending with the designation “GRP” equal to 0.01% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group; second, to each REMIC 1 Regular Interest ending with the designation “SUB,” so that the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest is equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group over (y) the current principal amount of the related Class A Certificates (except that

if any such excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount of principal shall be distributed to such REMIC 1 Regular Interests such that the REMIC 1 Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and third, any remaining principal to REMIC 1 Regular Interest ZZZ. Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be applied after all distributions have been made on each Distribution Date first, so as to keep the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC 1 Regular Interest ending with the designation “GRP” equal to 0.01% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group; second, to each REMIC 1 Regular Interest ending with the designation “SUB,” so that the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest is equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group over (y) the current principal amount of the related Class A Certificates (except that if any such excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount of Realized Losses shall be applied to such REMIC 1 Regular Interests such that the REMIC 1 Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and third, any remaining Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to REMIC 1 Regular Interest ZZZ.

(ii)	any remaining amount to the Holders of the Class R-II Certificates.

(c) On each Distribution Date, distributions of interest by REMIC 2 to REMIC 3 shall be payable, pro rata, to the REMIC 3 Regular Interest Components at the Pass-Through Rate for each such REMIC 3 Regular Interest Component on each such REMIC 3 Regular Interest Component’s Notional Amount. Each of the REMIC 3 Regular Interest Components will not be entitled to distributions of principal.

Thereafter, any Realized Losses on the Group 1 Loans will be allocated on any Distribution Date to the Class 1-A-1 Certificates, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof, until reduced to zero, any Realized Losses on the Group 2 Loans will be allocated on any Distribution Date to the Class 2-A Certificates, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof, until reduced to zero, any Realized Losses on the Group 3 Loans will be allocated on any Distribution Date to the Class 3-A-1 Certificates, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof, until reduced to zero, any Realized Losses on the Group 4 Loans will be allocated on any Distribution Date to the Class 4-A Certificates, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof, until reduced to zero and any Realized Losses on the Group 5 Loans will be allocated on any Distribution Date, pro rata, to the Class 5-A Certificates (other than the Class 5-A-X Certificates), in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balances thereof, provided, however, that Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans that would otherwise be allocated to the Class 5-A-1, Class 5-A-2, Class 5-A-3 and Class 5-A-4 Certificates will instead be allocated to the Class 5-A-5 Certificates, until its Certificate Principal Balance has been reduced to zero. In addition, any Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans that would otherwise be allocated to the Class 5-A-6 Certificates will instead be allocated to the Class 5-A-7 Certificates, until its Certificate Principal Balance has been reduced to zero.

Any allocation of a Realized Loss to a Certificate will be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated as of the Distribution Date in the month following the calendar month in which such Realized Loss was incurred.

If, after taking into account Subsequent Recoveries, the amount of a Realized Loss is reduced, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Class 1-A-1, Class 2-A, Class 3-A-1, Class 4-A, Class 5-A (other than the Class 5-A-X Certificates) and Class B Certificates with the highest payment priority to which Realized Losses have been allocated, but not by more than the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates. The amount of any remaining Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the next highest payment priority, up to the amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates. Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any payment in respect of current interest on the amount of such increases for any Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the Certificate Principal Balance of each Subordinate Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective fractional undivided interest.

The Trustee shall not be required to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with the transfer restrictions with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates, and the Trustee shall have no liability for transfers of Ownership Interests in the Book Entry Certificates made through the book-entry facilities of the Depositary or between or among Depositary Participants or Certificate Owners, made in violation of the applicable restrictions.

The Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Company may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners. The Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.

If (i)(A) the Company advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository and (B) the Company is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) the Company at its option advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the Trustee shall, at the expense of the Company, issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Company, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be liable for any actions taken by the Depository or its nominee, including, without limitation, any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates the Trustee and the Master Servicer shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

(c) Each Certificate is intended to be a “security” governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York and any other applicable jurisdiction, to the extent that any of such laws may be applicable.

Section 5.02.

Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a) The Trustee shall maintain a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.

(b) Except as provided in Section 5.02(c), no transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Class R Certificate shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act and laws. In the event that a transfer of a Class R Certificate is to be made under this Section 5.02(b), (i) the Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee that such transfer shall be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the

Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer, provided that such Opinion of Counsel will not be required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Company or any affiliate thereof, to a non-affiliate of the Company and (ii) the Trustee shall require the transferee to execute a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 hereto, and the Trustee shall require the transferor to execute a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 hereto, each acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee certifying to the Company and the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which representation letters shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer; provided, however, that such representation letters will not be required in connection with any transfer of any such Certificate by the Company to an affiliate of the Company and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Trustee, shall be a written representation) from the Company of the status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Company. Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such applicable federal and state laws.

(c) Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 5.02(b), transfers of Class R Certificates may be made in accordance with this Section 5.02(c) if the prospective transferee of a Certificate provides the Trustee and the Company with an investment letter substantially in the form of Exhibit G-3 attached hereto, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer, and which investment letter states that, among other things, such transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined under Rule 144A. Such transfers shall be deemed to have complied with the requirements of Section 5.02(b) hereof; provided, however, that no Transfer of any of the Class R Certificates may be made pursuant to this Section 5.02(c) by the Company. Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such applicable federal and state laws.

The Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel, on which the Trustee, Company and Master Servicer may rely, from a prospective transferee prior to the transfer of any Class R Certificate to any employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement, including individual retirement accounts and Xxxxx plans, that is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) or Section 4975 of the Code (any of the foregoing, a “Plan”), to a trustee or other Person acting on behalf of any Plan, or to any other person who is using “plan assets” of any Plan to effect such acquisition (including any insurance company using funds in its general or separate accounts that may constitute “plan assets”). Such Opinion of Counsel must establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee that such transfer is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, and will not subject the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Company to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement. Neither the Company, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee, will be required to obtain such Opinion of Counsel on behalf of any prospective transferee.

Each beneficial owner of a Subordinate Certificate or any interest therein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of that certificate or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan or a trustee or other Person acting on behalf of a Plan or using “plan

assets” of a Plan to effect such acquisition (including any insurance company using funds in its general or separate accounts that may constitute “plan assets”), (ii) in the case of the Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates, it has acquired and is holding such certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2002-41 (the “Exemption”), and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption, including that the certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by S&P, Fitch Ratings, Inc. or Xxxxx’x, and the certificate is so rated or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general account,” as such term is defined in Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.

(d)	[Reserved]

(e) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Trustee or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.

(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Trustee shall require delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate until its receipt of (I) an affidavit and agreement (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement” in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-5) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee representing and warranting, among other things, that it is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 5.02 and agrees to be bound by them, and (II) a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-4, from the Holder wishing to transfer the Class R Certificate, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee representing and warranting, among other things, that no purpose of the proposed Transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to this transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.

(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other Person

to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it provides a certificate to the Trustee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-4.

(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the Trustee written notice that it is a “pass-through interest holder” within the meaning of Temporary Treasury Regulations Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, if it is “a pass-through interest holder”, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate on behalf of a “pass-through interest holder.”

(ii) The Trustee will register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-5, a certificate of the Holder requesting such transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-4 and all of such other documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Trustee as a condition to such registration. Transfers of the Class R Certificates other than to Permitted Transferees are prohibited.

(iii) (A) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Class R Certificate. If a Non-United States Person shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Class R Certificate. If a transfer of a Class R Certificate is disregarded pursuant to the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1 or Section 1.860G-3, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such transfer of such Class R Certificate. The prior Holder shall be entitled to recover from any purported Holder of a Class R Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee under this Section 5.05(b) at the time it became a Holder all payments made on such Class R Certificate. Each Holder of a Class R Certificate, by acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of this clause (b) and to any amendment of this Agreement deemed necessary (whether as a result of new legislation or otherwise) by counsel of the Company to ensure that the Class R Certificates are not transferred to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee and that any transfer of such Class R Certificates will not cause the imposition of a tax upon the Trust or cause any such REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC. Neither the Trustee nor the Trustee shall be under any liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02 or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement.

(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02 and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder of such Class R Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Trustee shall have the right, without notice to the Holder or any prior Holder of such Class R Certificate, to sell such Class R Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Trustee on such terms as the Trustee may choose. Such purported

Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Class R Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Trustee. Such purchaser may be the Trustee itself. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Trustee), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Trustee to such purported Transferee. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

(a) The Trustee shall make available to the Internal Revenue Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the transfer of an ownership interest in a Class R Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including the information regarding “excess inclusions” of such Class R Certificates required to be provided to the Internal Revenue Service and certain Persons as described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5), and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate having as among its record Holders at any time any Person who is a Disqualified Organization. The Trustee may charge and shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for providing such information as may be required from those Persons which may have had a tax imposed upon them as specified in clauses (A) and (B) of this paragraph for providing such information.

(F) Subject to the preceding paragraphs, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose, the Trustee shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest. Every Certificate surrendered for transfer shall be accompanied by notification of the account of the designated transferee or transferees for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 by wire transfer, if any such transferee desires and is eligible for distribution by wire transfer.

(G) At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office of the Trustee. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. In addition, with respect to each Class R Certificate, the Holder thereof may exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R Certificate for three separate Certificates, each representing such Holder’s respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-1 Interest, the Class R-2 Interest and the Class R-3 Interest, respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged.

(H) No service charge shall be made to the Certificateholders for any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any

tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

(I) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be canceled and retained by the Trustee in accordance with the Trustee’s standard procedures.

Section 5.03.

Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

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

Section 5.04.

Persons Deemed Owners.

The Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 5.05.

Rule 144A Information.

For so long as any Class R Certificates are outstanding and are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act, (1) the Company will provide or cause to be provided to any Holder of such Certificates and any prospective purchaser thereof designated by such a Holder, upon the request of such Holder or prospective purchaser, the information required to be provided to such Holder or prospective purchaser by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act; and (2) the Company shall update such information from time to time in order to prevent such information from becoming false and misleading and will take such other actions as are necessary to ensure that the safe harbor exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Rule 144A is and will be available for resales of such Certificates conducted in accordance with Rule 144A. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Company and furnish the Company such information in the Master Servicer’s possession as the Company may reasonably request.

ARTICLE VI

THE COMPANY AND THE MASTER SERVICER

Section 6.01.

Liability of the Company and the Master Servicer.

The Company and the Master Servicer each shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Company and the Master Servicer herein. Only the Master Servicer, any successor Master Servicer or the Trustee acting as Master Servicer shall be liable with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property for actions taken by any such Person in contravention of the Master Xxxxxxxx’s duties hereunder.

Section 6.02.

Merger, Consolidation or Conversion of the Company or the Master Servicer.

The Company and the Master Servicer each will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation, and each will 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, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.

Any Person into which the Company or the Master Servicer may be merged, consolidated or converted, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Company or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Company or the Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the Company or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to the Master Servicer shall be qualified to sell Mortgage Loans to and service Mortgage Loans for Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac.

Section 6.03.

Limitation on Liability of the Company, the Master Servicer and Others.

Neither the Company, the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company or the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders 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 the Master Servicer (but this provision shall protect the above described persons) against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or against any specific liability imposed on the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01 or any other Section hereof; and provided further that this provision shall not protect the Company, the Master Servicer or any such person, against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Company, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or the Master Servicer 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, the Master Servicer and any

director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or the Master Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel), other than (a) any loss, liability or expense related to Master Servicer’s servicing obligations with respect to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or related to the Master Servicer’s obligations under Section 3.01, or (b) any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the Company nor the Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its respective duties under this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Company or the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except any action or liability related to the Master Servicer’s obligations under Section 3.01) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Company and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Certificate Account as provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Certificate Account.

Section 6.04.

Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the resigning Master Servicer) to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder.

Section 6.05.

Sale and Assignment of Master Servicing.

The Master Servicer may sell and assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations in their entirety as Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided, however, that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment and delegation (a) shall be a Person which shall be qualified to service Mortgage Loans for Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac; (b) shall, in the case of successor master servicers only, have a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 (unless otherwise approved by each Rating Agency pursuant to clause (ii) below); (c) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (as evidenced in a writing signed by the Trustee) as having a comparable servicing ability to that of the Master Servicer on the Closing Date; (d) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by it as master servicer

under this Agreement and any custodial agreement, from and after the effective date of such agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given prior written notice of the identity of the proposed successor to the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency’s rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment, sale and delegation will not be downgraded or withdrawn as a result of such assignment, sale and delegation, as evidenced by a letter to such effect obtained by the Master Servicer at its expense and delivered to the Trustee; and (iii) the Master Servicer assigning and selling the master servicing shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Master Servicer), each stating that all conditions precedent to such action under this Agreement have been completed and such action is permitted by and complies with the terms of this Agreement. No such assignment or delegation shall affect any liability of the Master Servicer arising prior to the effective date thereof.

ARTICLE VII

DEFAULT

Section 7.01.

Events of Default.

“Event of Default”, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events:

(i) any failure by the Master Servicer to deposit into the Certificate Account on each Certificate Account Deposit Date the amounts required to be deposited therein (other than an Advance) under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for two (2) Business Days after such amount was required to be remitted; or

(ii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in the Certificates or in this Agreement (including any breach of the Master Servicer’s representations and warranties pursuant to Section 2.03(a) which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders) which continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee, or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or

(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

(iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(v) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of or otherwise voluntarily commence a case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

(vi) the Master Servicer shall fail to deposit in the Certificate Account on any Certificate Account Deposit Date an amount equal to any required Advance which continues unremedied for the earlier of (a) a period of two (2) Business Days or (b) the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date.

If an Event of Default described in clauses (i) - (v) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the

Trustee or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by such Holders of Certificates), with a copy to the Rating Agencies, may terminate all of the rights and obligations (but not the liabilities) of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Trust Fund, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder; provided, however, that the successor to the Master Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 shall have accepted the duties of Master Servicer effective upon the resignation or termination of the Master Servicer. If an Event of Default described in clause (vi) hereof shall occur, the Trustee, as applicable, shall, by notice to the Master Servicer and the Company, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Trust Fund, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder; provided, however, that if the Trustee, as applicable, determines (in its sole discretion) that the failure by the Master Servicer to make any required Advance was due to circumstances beyond its control, and the required Advance was otherwise made, the Trustee, as applicable, shall not terminate the Master Servicer. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder thereof) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise at the expense of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with (and pay any related costs and expenses of) the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee or the successor Master Servicer for administration by it of (i) the property and amounts which are then or should be part of the Trust Fund or which thereafter become part of the Trust Fund; (ii) originals or copies of all documents of the Master Servicer reasonably requested by the Trustee to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s duties thereunder; (iii) the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under the Subservicing Agreements with respect to the Mortgage Loans; and (iv) all cash amounts which shall at the time be deposited by the Master Servicer or should have been deposited to the Custodial or the Certificate Account or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. To the extent such costs and expenses are not paid by the Master Servicer, such amounts shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund subject to the provisions of Section 8.05 of this Agreement. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have breached any obligation hereunder as a result of a failure to make or delay in making any distribution as and when required hereunder caused by the failure of the Master Servicer to remit any amounts received by it or to deliver any documents held by it with respect to the Mortgage Loans. For purposes of this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless notice of any event which is in fact such an Event of Default is received by the Trustee as provided in Section 11.05 and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement.

Section 7.02.

Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

Within 90 days of the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01(i) - (v), the Trustee or its appointed agent shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject thereafter to all the responsibilities, duties

and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer including the obligation to make Advances which have been or will be required to be made (except for the responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in Section 2.03 and its obligations to deposit amounts in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.12 and 4.01(j)) by the terms and provisions hereof; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer’s failure to provide information required by Section 4.03 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the Custodial Account if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder. If the Trustee has become the successor to the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 6.04 or Section 7.02, then notwithstanding the above, if the Trustee shall be unwilling to so act, or shall be unable to so act, the Trustee may appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction or appoint, any established housing and home finance institution, which is also a Xxxxxx Xxx- or Freddie Mac-approved mortgage servicing institution, having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as herein above provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Master Servicer hereunder. Each of the Seller, the Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. In no event shall the successor Master Servicer be liable for the acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer.

In connection with the termination or resignation of the Master Servicer hereunder, either (i) the successor Master Servicer, including the Trustee if the Trustee is acting as successor Master Servicer, shall represent and warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, in which case the predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master Servicer in causing MERS to revise its records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor Master Servicer as necessary under MERS’ rules and regulations, or (ii) the predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master Servicer in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System to the successor Master Servicer. The predecessor Master Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate recording office. The predecessor Master Servicer shall bear any and all fees of MERS, costs of preparing any assignments of Mortgage, and fees and costs of filing any assignments of Mortgage that may be required under this Section 7.02. The successor Master Servicer shall cause such assignment to be delivered to the Custodian promptly upon receipt of the original with evidence of recording thereon or a copy certified by the public recording office in which such assignment was recorded.

Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Master Servicer shall maintain in force during its term as master servicer hereunder policies and fidelity bonds to the same extent as the Master Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.18.

Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for any Master Servicing Fee or Subservicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Master Servicing Fee or Subservicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor Master Servicer or Subservicer, as applicable, to act as successor Master Servicer or Subservicer, as applicable, under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein.

Section 7.03.

Notification to Certificateholders.

(a) Upon any such termination or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt notice thereof to Certificateholders and to the Rating Agencies.

(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

Section 7.04.

Waiver of Events of Default.

The Holders representing at least 51% of the Voting Rights of Certificates affected by a default or Event of Default hereunder, may waive such default or Event of Default (other than an Event of Default set forth in Section 7.01(vi)); provided, however, that (a) a default or Event of Default under clause (i) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the Holders of Certificates affected by such default or Event of Default and (b) no waiver pursuant to this Section 7.04 shall affect the Holders of Certificates in the manner set forth in the second paragraph of Section 11.01 or materially adversely affect any non-consenting Certificateholder. Upon any such waiver of a default or Event of Default by the Holders representing the requisite percentage of Voting Rights of Certificates affected by such default or Event of Default, such default or Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. The Master Servicer shall give notice of any such waiver to the Rating Agencies.

Section 7.05.

List of Certificateholders.

Upon written request of three or more Certificateholders of record, for purposes of communicating with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement, the Trustee will afford such Certificateholders access during business hours to the most recent list of Certificateholders held by the Trustee.

ARTICLE VIII

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

Section 8.01.

Duties of Trustee.

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. If an Event of Default occurs, is continuing and has not been waived, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.

The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee’s satisfaction, the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Master Servicer hereunder or any Opinion of Counsel required hereunder.

The Trustee shall prepare and file or cause to be filed on behalf of the Trust Fund any tax return that is required with respect to REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 pursuant to applicable federal, state or local tax laws.

The Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall perform its obligations hereunder in a manner so as to maintain the status of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 under the REMIC Provisions and to prevent the imposition of any federal, state or local income, prohibited transaction, contribution or other tax on any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 to the extent that maintaining such status and avoiding such taxes are within the control of the Trustee and are reasonably within the scope of its duties under this Agreement.

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

(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed

therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;

(ii) The Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

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

Section 8.02.

Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely upon and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting in reliance upon any resolution, Officers’ Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

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

(c) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement, other than its obligation to give notice pursuant to this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee’s corporate trust department has actual knowledge (which has not been waived or cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;

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

(e) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or

document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Certificateholders requesting the investigation;

(f) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, nominees, custodians or attorneys appointed with due care, and shall not be responsible for any willful misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, attorney, custodian or nominee so appointed;

(g) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety with respect to the execution of the trust created hereby or the powers granted hereunder; and

(h) Whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Agreement the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action to be taken hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed and delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Agreement upon the faith thereof.

The Trustee shall have no obligation to invest and reinvest any cash held in the absence of timely and specific written investment direction from the Master Servicer. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon. The Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the Master Servicer to provide timely written investment direction.

In order to comply with its duties under the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee shall obtain and verify certain information and documentation from other parties hereto, including, but not limited to, such party’s name, address and other identifying information.

Section 8.03.

Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.

The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the signature of the Trustee, the authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates, the acknowledgments of the Trustee contained in Article II) shall be taken as the statements of the Company and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations or warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the signature and authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document, or of MERS or the MERS® System. Te Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Company or the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Custodial Account by the Master Servicer.

Section 8.04.

Trustee May Own Certificates.

Section 8.05.

Trustee’s Fees.

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw from the Certificate Account as compensation hereunder, the Trustee Fee. Such compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) shall be paid for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder or of the Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any claim, loss, liability, fee or expense incurred in connection with any Event of Default, any breach of this Agreement or any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action), or relating to the acceptance or administration of its trusts hereunder or the Trustee’s performance under the Certificates, other than any claim, loss, liability or expense (i) sustained in connection with this Agreement related to the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Master Servicer in the performance of its duties hereunder or (ii) incurred in connection with a breach constituting willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Trustee in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder.

The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee against any such claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action), loss, liability, fee or expense that may be sustained in connection with this Agreement related to the willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of the Master Servicer’s duties hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 8.05 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.06.

Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or a national banking association organized and doing business under the laws of any state or the United States of America or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. In addition, the Trustee shall at all times be acceptable to the Rating Agency rating the Certificates. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07. The corporation or national banking

association serving as Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Seller and their affiliates or the Master Servicer and its affiliates; provided, however, that such corporation cannot be an affiliate of the Master Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as successor to the Master Servicer.

Section 8.07.

Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.

The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Master Servicer; with a copy to the Rating Agencies; provided, that such resignation shall not be effective until successor trustee is appointed and accepts appointment in accordance with the following provisions; provided, however, that the resigning trustee shall not resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created until such time as the Rating Agency rating the Certificates approves the successor trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Master Servicer shall promptly appoint successor trustee who meets the eligibility requirements of Section 8.06 by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning trustee and to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Master Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, the Master Servicer, may remove the Trustee and appoint successor trustee who meets the eligibility requirements of Section 8.06 by written instrument, in triplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and to the successor trustee.

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

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08.

Section 8.08.

Successor Trustee.

Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Master Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all

the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee shall after payment of its outstanding fees and expenses, promptly deliver to the successor trustee all assets and records of the Trust Fund held by it hereunder, and the Master Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver all such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.

Upon acceptance of appointment by successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Master Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Master Servicer fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Master Servicer.

Section 8.09.

Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.

Any state bank or trust company or corporation or national banking association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any state bank or trust company or national banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any state bank or trust company or corporation or national banking association succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such state bank or trust company or corporation or national banking association shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 8.10.

Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment without the Master Servicer. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.

In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee and required to be conferred or such co-trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.

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

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION

Section 9.01.

Termination Upon Repurchase or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans or upon Purchase of Certificates.

(a) Subject to Section 9.03, the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.05 and of the Master Servicer to provide for and the Trustee to make payments to Certificateholders as hereafter set forth) shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them hereunder following the earlier to occur of (i) the repurchase by the Subservicer of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property in respect thereof remaining in the Trust Fund at a price equal to (a) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan (other than one as to which a REO Property was acquired) on the day of repurchase together with accrued interest on such unpaid principal balance at the Net Mortgage Rate to the first day of the month in which the proceeds of such repurchase are to be distributed, plus (b) the appraised value of any REO Property (but not more than the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, together with accrued interest on that balance at the Net Mortgage Rate to the first day of the month such repurchase price is distributed), less the good faith estimate of the Master Servicer of liquidation expenses to be incurred in connection with its disposal thereof, such appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer, the Subservicer and the Trustee at the expense of the Subservicer, and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund (or the disposition of all REO Property in respect thereof); provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the Distribution Date occurring in July 2035 and (ii) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof, and provided further, that the purchase price set forth above shall be increased as is necessary, as determined by the Master Servicer, to avoid disqualification of any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 as a REMIC. In the case of any repurchase by the Master Servicer pursuant to clause (i), the Subservicer shall exercise reasonable efforts to cooperate fully with the Master Servicer and the Trustee in effecting such repurchase and the transfer of the Mortgage Loans and related Mortgage Files and related records to the Subservicer.

The right of the Subservicer to repurchase all Mortgage Loans pursuant to (i) above shall be conditioned upon the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loans at the time of any such repurchase aggregating an amount equal to or less than 1% of the Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans. If such right is exercised, the Subservicer upon such repurchase shall provide to the Trustee and the Trustee, notice of such exercise prior to the Determination Date in the month preceding the month of purchase and the certification required by Section 3.16.

Written notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to the

Certificateholders mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with the Subservicer’s election to repurchase, not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the 15th day of the month (or if such 15th day is not a Business Day, on the Business Day immediately preceding such 15th day) in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which final payment of the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein specified. In the event such notice is given in connection with the Subservicer’s election to repurchase, the Subservicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account on the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date specified in such notice an amount equal to the above-described repurchase price payable out of its own funds. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall first, pay itself the Trustee Fee for such Distribution Date and any other amounts owing to the Trustee under this Agreement, and second, distribute to the Certificateholders (i) the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date, if not in connection with the Subservicer’s election to repurchase, or (ii) if the Subservicer elected to so repurchase, an amount determined as follows: with respect to each Regular Certificate, the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance thereof, plus with respect to each Regular Certificate, one month’s interest thereon at the applicable Pass-Through Rate and any Unpaid Interest Shortfall Amount; with respect to the Class R Certificates, the Percentage Interest evidenced thereby multiplied by the difference, if any, between the above described repurchase price and the aggregate amount to be distributed to the Holders of the Regular Certificates, subject to the priorities set forth in Section 4.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by acceptance of the Class R Certificates, the Holders of the Class R Certificates agree, in connection with any termination hereunder, to assign and transfer any amounts received in respect of such termination to the Subservicer and to pay any such amounts to the Subservicer. Upon certification to the Trustee and the Custodian by a Servicing Officer, following such final deposit, the Custodian shall promptly release the Mortgage Files as directed by the Subservicer for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments required by the Subservicer as being necessary to effectuate such transfer.

In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the time specified in the above-mentioned notice, the Trustee shall give a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice all of the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall take reasonable steps as directed by the Company in writing, or appoint an agent to take reasonable steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain subject hereto. If within nine months after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject hereto.

Section 9.02.

Termination of REMIC 2.

REMIC 2 shall be terminated on the earlier of the Final Distribution Date and the date on which it is deemed to receive the last deemed distributions on the REMIC 1 Regular Interests and the last distribution due on the REMIC 2 Regular Interests and the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-2 Interest) is made.

Section 9.03.

Additional Termination Requirements.

(a) In the event the Subservicer repurchases the Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Master Servicer, at the Subservicer’s expense, obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.03 will not (i) result in the imposition on the Trust of taxes on “prohibited transactions,” as described in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause either REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding:

(i) The Trustee shall establish a 90-day liquidation period for REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3, as the case may be, and specify the first day of such period in a statement attached to the Trust Fund’s final Tax Return pursuant to Treasury regulations Section 1.860F-1. The Trustee also shall satisfy all of the requirements of a qualified liquidation for REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3, as the case may be, under Section 860F of the Code and regulations thereunder; and

(ii) The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee at the commencement of such 90-day liquidation period and, at or prior to the time of making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Trustee shall sell or otherwise dispose of all of the remaining assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) Each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee hereby irrevocably approves and appoints the Master Servicer as its attorney-in-fact to adopt a plan of complete liquidation for REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 at the expense of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE X

REMIC PROVISIONS

Section 10.01.

REMIC Administration.

The Trustee shall make an election to treat the Trust Fund as three REMICs under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state law. Each such election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return (including Form 8811) or any appropriate state return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. For the purposes of the REMIC elections in respect of the Trust Fund, (i) the Class R-I Certificates will constitute the sole Class of “residual interest” in REMIC 1, (ii) the Class R-II Certificates will constitute the sole Class of “residual interest” in REMIC 2, and (iii) the Class R-III Certificates will constitute the sole Class of “residual interest” in REMIC 3, and the REMIC 3 Regular Interests shall be designated as the “regular interests” in REMIC 3. The Master Servicer and the Trustee shall not permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 other than the REMIC 1 Regular Interests and the Class R-I Certificates (in the case of REMIC 1), the REMIC 2 Regular Interests and the Class R-II Certificates (in the case of REMIC 2) and the REMIC 3 Regular Interests and the Class R-III Certificates (in the case of REMIC 3). The Trustee will apply for an Employee Identification Number from the IRS via form SS-4 or any other acceptable method for each of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3.

(a) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “startup day” of the Trust Fund within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

(b) The Trustee shall pay out of its own funds, without any right of reimbursement, any and all expenses relating to any tax audit of the REMICs (including, but not limited to, any professional fees or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to the REMICs that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities), other than the expense of obtaining any tax-related Opinion of Counsel except as specified herein. The Trustee, as agent for the REMICs’ tax matters person, shall (i) act on behalf of the REMICs in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving the Trust Fund and (ii) represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. By their acceptance thereof, the Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class R Certificates hereby agrees to irrevocably appoint the Trustee or an Affiliate as its agent to perform all of the duties of the tax matters person for the REMICs.

(c) The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file all of the Tax Returns (including Form 8811, which must be filed within 30 days of the Closing Date) in respect of the REMICs created hereunder. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee without any right of reimbursement therefor. The Master Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to the Trustee or its designee such information with respect to the assets of the REMICs as is in its possession and reasonably required by the Trustee to enable it to perform its obligations under this Article X.

(d) The Trustee shall perform on behalf of the REMICs all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of the REMICs under the Code, the REMIC

Provisions or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other such compliance guidance, the Trustee shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a Class R Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Class R Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption as required) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address and telephone number of the person who will serve as the representative of the REMICs. The Master Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to the Trustee such information with respect to the assets of the REMICs, including, without limitation, the Mortgage Loans, as is in its possession and reasonably required by the Trustee to enable it to perform its obligations under this subsection. In addition, the Company shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Trustee reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes as to the valuations and issue prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flow of the Certificates.

(e) The Trustee shall take such action and shall cause the REMICs created hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to create or maintain the status thereof as REMICs under the REMIC Provisions (and the Master Servicer shall assist it, to the extent reasonably requested by it). The Trustee shall not take any action, cause the Trust Fund 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 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 as REMICs or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the REMICs (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to the REMICs created hereunder, endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor shall the Master Servicer take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to the REMICs or the assets of the REMICs, or causing the REMICs to take any action, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer will consult with the Trustee or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to the Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall not take any such action or cause the Trust Fund to take any such action as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Trustee may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Trustee will ensure that substantially all of the assets of the REMICs created hereunder will consist of “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

(f) In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of the REMICs created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of the REMICs as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to the REMICs after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Article X, or otherwise, (iii) to the Master Servicer as provided in Section 3.05 and (iv) against amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account and shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom to the extent not required to be paid by the Master Servicer or the Trustee pursuant to another provision of this Agreement.

(g) On or before April 15 of each calendar year, commencing April 15, 2006, the Trustee shall deliver to the Master Servicer and the Rating Agency a Certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Trustee stating the Trustee’s compliance with this Article X.

(h) The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to the REMICs on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

(i) Following the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not accept any contributions of assets to the REMICs other than in connection with any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.04 unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the REMICs will not cause the REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as REMICs at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject either REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.

(j) Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which the REMICs will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit the REMICs to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

Section 10.02.

Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to cause such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) that such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect adversely the status of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 as REMICs or (b) cause the Trust Fund to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

Section 10.03.

Master Servicer and Trustee Indemnification.

(a) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Company, and the Master Servicer for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Company or the Master Servicer, as a result of a breach of the Trustee’s covenants set forth in this Article X.

(b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Company and the Trustee for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Company or the Trustee, as a result of a breach of the Master Servicer’s covenants set forth in Article III or this Article X, in each case with respect to compliance with the REMIC Provisions.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the purchase by the Subservicer from the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage Loans and each REO Property in respect thereof remaining in the Trust Fund, thereby effecting early retirement of the Certificates and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund (or the disposition of all REO Property in respect thereof). The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Subservicer to purchase at a price determined as provided in the Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans and all REO Property; provided, that any such option may only be exercised on the Distribution Date after the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of any such purchase are distributed is less than one percent of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

evidencing a percentage interest in any distributions allocable to the Class R-[] Certificates with respect to the Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of one- to four-family adjustable-rate first lien mortgage loans formed and sold by IMPAC SECURED ASSETS CORP.

This certifies that UBS Securities LLC is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate stated above in certain distributions with respect to a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of one- to four-family adjustable-rate first lien mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), formed and sold by Impac Secured Assets Corp. (hereinafter called the “Company,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as specified above (the “Agreement”) among the Company, the Master Servicer, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

This Certificate does not have a principal balance or pass-through rate and will be entitled to distributions only to the Patent set forth in the Agreement. In addition, any distribution of the proceeds of any remaining assets of the Trust will be made only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency maintained by the Trustee.

No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and such laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trustee and the Company in writing the facts surrounding the transfer. In the event that such a transfer is not to be made pursuant to Rule 144A of the Act, there shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Company of an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Company; or there shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Company a transferor certificate by the transferor and an investment letter shall be executed by the transferee. The Holder hereof desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Company against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the restrictions of the Agreement, including but not limited to the restrictions that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a Permitted Transferee, (ii) no Ownership Interest, in this Certificate may be transferred without delivery to the Trustee of (a) a transfer affidavit of the proposed transferee and (b) a transfer certificate of the transferor, each of such documents to be in the form described in the Agreement, (iii) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must agree to require a transfer affidavit and to deliver a transfer certificate to the Trustee as required pursuant to the Agreement, (iv) each person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in this Certificate must agree not to transfer an Ownership Interest in this Certificate if it has actual knowledge that the proposed

transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and (v) any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the purported transferee. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Trustee will provide the Internal Revenue Service and any pertinent persons with the information needed to compute the tax imposed under the applicable tax laws on transfers of residual interests to disqualified organizations, if any person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires an Ownership Interest on a Class R-[] Certificate in violation of the restrictions mentioned above.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an, assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
