A Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.

Section 3.04 Registration of and Limitations on Transfers and Exchanges of the Certificates.

(a) The Securities Administrator is hereby appointed as the Certificate Registrar of the Trust. The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at its Corporate Trust Office, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided; provided, however, that no Class R Certificate or Class G Certificate shall be issued in any such transfer and exchange representing less than a 100% Percentage Interest in such Certificate. If the Certificate Registrar resigns or is removed, the Depositor shall appoint a successor Certificate Registrar.

(b) Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, with respect to the Certificates, upon surrender for registration of transfer of Certificates at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.09, the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Register shall execute, authenticate and deliver in the name of the designated transferee, a new Certificate evidencing the Percentage Interest of the Certificate so surrendered and dated the date of authentication by the Certificate Registrar. At the option of a Holder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.09.

Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary practice.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Certificates, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar 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 the Certificates or any other expense arising as a result of any registration of transfer or exchange.

Except for the initial issuance of the Class G Certificates and the Class R Certificates on the Closing Date, no Person shall become a Certificateholder of Class G Certificates or Class R Certificates until the requirements of section 3.04(f) shall have been complied with.

(c) The Certificates shall be assigned, transferred, exchanged, pledged, financed, hypothecated or otherwise conveyed (collectively, for purposes of this Section 3.04 and any other Section referring to the Certificates, “transferred” or a “transfer”) only in accordance with this Section 3.04.

(d) No transfer of a Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and such state securities laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each certify to the Securities Administrator in writing the facts (or shall be deemed to certify in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate) surrounding the transfer by (x)(i) the delivery to the Securities Administrator by the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer of a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit D (the “Transferor Certificate”) and (ii) the delivery by the Certificateholder’s prospective transferee of (A) a letter in substantially the form of Exhibit E (the “Investment Letter”) if the prospective transferee is an Institutional Accredited Investor or (B) a letter in substantially the form of Exhibit F (the “Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate”) if the prospective transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or (y) there shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Indenture Trustee. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the HELOCs and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the HELOCs and other matters regarding the Trust Estate as the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Owner Trustee, the Securities Administrator 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 federal and state laws.

(i) With respect to the transfer of a Residual Certificate, such Person shall comply with the provisions of Section 3.07, as applicable, relating to the ERISA restrictions with respect to the acceptance or acquisition of such Residual Certificate.

(e) For so long as any of the Certificates are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the Certificate Registrar agrees to cooperate with, and act in accordance with the direction of, the Depositor in providing to any Certificateholders and to any prospective purchaser of Certificates designated by such Certificateholder, upon the request of such Certificateholder or prospective purchaser, any information in the Certificate Registrar’s possession and required to be provided to such holder or prospective purchaser to satisfy the condition set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. Any reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Certificate Registrar in providing such information shall be reimbursed by the Depositor.

(f) Each Person that has or that acquires any Ownership Interest in any Class G Certificate or 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 appointed the Certificate Registrar or its designee as its attorney-in-fact to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in the Class G Certificate or Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

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

(ii) No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Class G Certificate or Class R Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata undivided interest.

(iii) No Ownership Interest in a Class G Certificate or Class R Certificate may be transferred without the express written consent of the Owner Trustee, the Note Insurer, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar. In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class G Certificate or Class R Certificate, the Owner Trustee shall, as a condition to such consent, require delivery to it, the Depositor, the Note Insurer (with respect to a Class G Certificate only) and the Certificate Registrar in form and substance satisfactory to it, each of the following:

(A) an affidavit in the form of Exhibit C hereto from the proposed transferee to the effect that such transferee is a Permitted Transferee and that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Class G Certificate or 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, and certification from the proposed transferor to the effect that it does not have actual knowledge that any statements made by the proposed transferee in such affidavit is false; and

(B) a covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect that the proposed transferee agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer restrictions applicable to the Class G Certificate or Class R Certificate.

(iv) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class G Certificate or Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.04 shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall, in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.04, become a Holder of a Class G Certificate or Class R Certificate, then the prior Holder of such Class G Certificate or Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the registration of transfer of such Class G Certificate or Class R Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section 3.04, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Class G Certificate or Class R Certificate. The Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any Class G Certificate or Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.04 or for making any distributions due on such Class G Certificate or Class R Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Owner Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar received all affidavits and covenants with respect to such transfer provided for under this Section 3.04. The Certificate Paying Agent, on behalf of the Trust, shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Class G Certificate or Class R Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such distributions were made all distributions made on such Class G Certificate or Class R Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the Certificate Paying Agent shall be distributed and delivered by the Certificate Paying Agent to the prior Holder of such Class G Certificate or Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.

(v) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class G Certificate or Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 3.04, then the Certificate Registrar shall have the right but not the obligation, without notice to the Holder of such Class G Certificate or Class R Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership Interest therein, to notify the Underwriter to arrange for the sale of such Class G Certificate or Class R Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Certificate Registrar or its affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Certificate Paying Agent to the previous Holder of such Class G Certificate or Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee, except that in the event that the Certificate Paying Agent determines that the Holder of such Class G Certificate or Class R Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this Section 3.04 or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Certificate Paying Agent may withhold a corresponding amount from such remittance as security for such claim. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Paying Agent, and neither such Person shall be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Class G Certificate or Class R Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

(vi) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class G Certificate or Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 3.04, then the Certificate Registrar will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e)(1) of the Code on transfers of residual interests to disqualified organizations.

(g) Each Person that has or that acquires an Ownership Interest in the Class G Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound to reimburse advances made by the Servicer to fund Draws on the HELOCs pursuant to Section 2.01(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.05 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice to the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Owner Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust and the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.05, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expenses of the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar (including fees and expenses of counsel) and any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall constitute conclusive evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 3.06 Persons Deemed Certificateholders. Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any Certificate Paying Agent may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.03 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any Certificate Paying Agent shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

Section 3.07 ERISA Restrictions. The Residual Certificates may not be acquired or transferred to a transferee for or on behalf of a Plan. Each prospective transferee, other than the Initial Holder or its affiliate, shall represent and warrant to the Certificate Registrar that it is not a Plan, in accordance with Exhibit C hereto, as applicable. By accepting and holding its beneficial ownership interest in its Residual Certificate, the Holder thereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Plan.

Section 3.08 Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses. The Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Depositor, the Certificate Paying Agent, the Note Insurer or the Owner Trustee, within 15 days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a written request therefor from the Depositor, the Certificate Paying Agent, the Note Insurer or the Owner Trustee, a list, in such form as the requesting party may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. Each Holder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Trust, the Depositor, the Certificate Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section 3.09 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Trust shall maintain an office or offices or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Trust in respect of the Certificates and the Basic Documents may be delivered. The Trust initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Securities Administrator as its office for purposes of delivery of notices. The Certificate Registrar shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the Note Insurer,the Certificate Paying Agent, the Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

In addition to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee is authorized, but shall not be obligated, to take all actions required of the Trust pursuant to the Basic Documents.

Section 4.02 General Duties. It shall be the duty of the Owner Trustee to discharge (or cause to be discharged) all of its responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement and to administer the Trust in the interest of the Certificateholders, subject to the Basic Documents and in accordance with the provisions of this Trust Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any Basic Document if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Owner Trustee or is contrary to the terms hereof or of any Basic Document or is otherwise contrary to law.

(c) Whenever the Owner Trustee is required to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Trust Agreement or under any Basic Document, or in the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Trust Agreement or any Basic Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Trust Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Certificateholders requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written instructions of the Certificateholders, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within 10 days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action not inconsistent with this Trust Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, and the Owner Trustee shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

Section 5.01 Certificate Distribution Account. All of the right, title and interest of the Trust in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Certificate Distribution Account and in all proceeds thereof shall be held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and such other persons entitled to payments therefrom. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Distribution Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Securities Administrator, acting as Certificate Paying Agent, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Certificate Distribution Account shall be subject to and established and maintained in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 5.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement regarding distributions from the Certificate Distribution Account.

The Certificate Paying Agent is hereby authorized and directed to retain or cause to be retained from amounts otherwise distributable to the Certificateholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Owner Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Certificate Paying Agent and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.

The Owner Trustee shall at all times be a corporation satisfying the provisions of Section 3807(a) of the Statutory Trust Statute; authorized 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 authorities; and having (or having a parent that has) a rating of at least Baa3 by Moody’s and/or at least BBB- by Standard & Poor’s and is otherwise acceptable to the Note Insurer and Rating Agencies. If such corporation shall publish reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose 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 Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.01, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.02.

Section 9.02 Replacement of Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving 30 days prior written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Note Insurer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor with the consent of the Note Insurer shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and to the successor Owner Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee or the Note Insurer may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.

If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.01 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor, or if at any time the Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor with the consent of the Note Insurer may and, at the direction of the Note Insurer, shall, remove the Owner Trustee.

Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.03 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Depositor shall provide notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies.

Section 9.03 Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 9.02 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Trust Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective, and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Trust Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Trust Agreement; and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 9.03 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.01.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section 9.03, the Owner Trustee shall mail notice thereof to all Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the Note Insurer and the Rating Agencies.

Section 9.04 Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Any Person into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, that such Person shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.01 and, provided, further, that the Owner Trustee shall (i) mail notice of such merger or consolidation to the Rating Agencies and (ii) file all amendments to the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State if required by the Statutory Trust Statute.

Section 9.05 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Owner Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Owner Trustee shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or as separate trustee or trustees, of all or any part of the Owner Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust or any part thereof and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Trust Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.01 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 9.03.

Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(a) All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Owner 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 Owner Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;

(b) No trustee under this Trust Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Trust Agreement; and

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner 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 Trust Agreement and the conditions of this Article. 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 Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Trust Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Trust Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee.

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee as 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 Trust Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor co-trustee or separate trustee.

(a) The Securities Administrator shall, to the extent under its control, conduct the affairs of the Owner Trust Estate at all times that any Certificates and Notes are outstanding so as to maintain the status of each REMIC formed pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions. The Securities Administrator shall not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any REMIC formed pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Owner Trustee shall cooperate and furnish upon the request of the Securities Administrator any records, information and materials in its possession relating to each REMIC formed pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement as may be necessary for the Securities Administrator to prepare the returns, schedules and statements required to be furnished to the taxing authorities or Noteholders or Certificateholders with respect to each REMIC formed pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or to perform its other duties relating to the tax matters of the Owner Trust Estate, as provided in Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(c) For federal income and tax reporting purposes, each Holder of a Certificate shall take positions that are consistent with the intended tax treatment of the Owner Trust Estate as one or more REMICs and the tax treatment expressed in the Basic Documents with regard to distributions and other transactions contemplated therein, including but not limited to, the tax treatment of amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account and payments to and from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account in respect of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount.

(d) In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC formed pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of the Owner Trust Estate as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any REMIC formed pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including, without limitation, any federal, state or local tax or minimum tax imposed upon any REMIC formed pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and is not paid by the party causing such tax to arise as otherwise provided for in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Holders of the Residual Certificates agree that such tax shall be paid, as further described in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the such Holders prior to allocating any such tax to the Noteholders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that any such tax is payable by the Holder of any Residual Certificates, the Securities Administrator is hereby authorized to retain on any Payment Date from the amounts payable to the Certificate Distribution Account for distribution to the Holders of such Certificates amounts sufficient to pay such tax. The Securities Administrator will promptly notify in writing the party liable for any such tax of the amount thereof and the due date for the payment thereof.

ASSET-BACKED NOTES

evidencing a Percentage Interest in the distributions allocable to the Class CE Certificates with respect to a Trust Estate consisting primarily of a pool of HELOCs that are secured by first and second liens on one- to four- family residences sold by ACE Securities Corp.

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Estate, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in ACE Securities Corp., the Master Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator referred to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying HELOCs are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by ACE Securities Corp., the Master Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of ACE Securities Corp., the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.

This certifies that [_______________] is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Estate”) generally consisting primarily of a pool of home equity lines of credit that are secured by first and second liens on one- to four- family residences (collectively, the “HELOCs”) sold by ACE Securities Corp. ( the “Depositor”). The HELOCs were sold by DB Structured Products, Inc. (the “Sponsor”) to the Depositor. LaSalle Bank National Association (“LaSalle”) will act as master servicer of the HELOCs (in that capacity, the “Master Servicer,” which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Estate was created pursuant to the Trust Agreement, dated as of May [__], 2006 between the Depositor and Wilmington Trust Company (the “Owner Trustee”), as amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2006 (the “Agreement”), among the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, and LaSalle as securities administrator (in that capacity, the “Securities Administrator”) a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them 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 its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

The Securities Administrator will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Payment Date”), commencing on the First Payment Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day (or if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such last day) of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the Payment Date occurs, an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amounts required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate.

Payments on this Certificate will be made by the Securities Administrator, acting as Certificate Paying Agent, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Securities Administrator in writing as specified in the Agreement, by wire transfer. Notwithstanding the above, the final payment on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such payment and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose and designated in such notice.

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the Securities Administrator shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit D and either Exhibit E or Exhibit F, as applicable, and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Estate or of the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Securities Administrator, the Owner Trustee, or the Master Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. Neither the Depositor nor the Securities Administrator is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Owner Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Sponsor 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 federal and state laws.

Each holder of a Certificate or beneficial ownership shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Section 3.04 of the Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Estate formed pursuant to the Agreement.

The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Estate for payment hereunder and that the Securities Administrator is not liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Securities Administrator.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the written consent of the Note Insurer and the Holders of the Class or Classes of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable with the Securities Administrator upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Securities Administrator for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.

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

No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Owner Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Owner Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Estate created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of (A) the maturity or other liquidation of the last HELOC remaining in the Trust Estate and disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any HELOC and (B) the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Indenture dated as of the May 31, 2006 among ACE Home Equity Loan Trust, Series 2006-GP1, as Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administration (the “Indenture”) of all the HELOCs and other assets of the Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the first Payment Date on which the aggregate Principal Balance of the HELOCs as of the end of the prior Collection Period is less than 10% of the aggregate Principal Balance of such HELOCs as of the Cut-off Date as set forth in the Indenture. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Estate created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in Section 8.06 of the Indenture and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date as specified in the Indenture.

Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Securities Administrator 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 Owner Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed on behalf of the Trust.

No transfer of this Class G Certificate will be made unless the Securities Administrator shall have received either (i) the opinion of counsel set forth in section 3.04 of the Agreement or (ii) a representation letter, in the form as described by the Agreement, stating that the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a “Plan”), or any other person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any Plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with “plan assets” of any Plan.

Re: ACE Securities Corp. Home Equity Loan Trust, Series 2006-GP1 Trust Certificates (the “Certificates”)

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with our purchase of Certificates, we confirm that:

(i)

we understand that the Certificates are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, and are being sold to us in a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of such laws;

(ii)

any information we desired concerning the Certificates, including the Certificates, the trust, in which the Certificates represent the entire beneficial ownership interest (the “Trust”) or any other matter we deemed relevant to our decision to purchase Certificates has been made available to us;

(iii)

we are able to bear the economic risk of investment in Certificates; we are an institutional “accredited investor” as defined in Section 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Act and a sophisticated institutional investor;

(iv)

we are acquiring Certificates for our own account, not as nominee for any other person, and not with a present view to any distribution or other disposition of the Certificates;

(v)

we agree the Certificates must be held indefinitely by us (and may not be sold, pledged, hypothecated or in any way disposed of) unless subsequently registered under the Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws is available;

(vi)

we agree that in the event that at some future time we wish to dispose of or exchange any of the Certificates (such disposition or exchange not being currently foreseen or contemplated), we will not transfer or exchange any of the Certificates unless:

(A) (1) the sale is to an Eligible Purchaser (as defined below), (2) if required by the Trust Agreement (as defined below) a letter to substantially the same effect as either this letter or, if the Eligible Purchaser is a Qualified Institutional Buyer as defined under Rule 144A of the Act, the Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate in the form attached to the Trust Agreement (as defined below) (or such other documentation as may be acceptable to the Securities Administrator) is executed promptly by the purchaser and delivered to the addressees hereof and (3) all offers or solicitations in connection with the sale, whether directly or through any agent acting on our behalf, are limited only to Eligible Purchasers and are not made by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising whatsoever; and

(B) if the Certificate is not registered under the Act (as to which we acknowledge you have no obligation), the Certificate is sold in a transaction that does not require registration under the Act and any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and, if LaSalle Bank National Association (the “Securities Administrator”) so requests, a satisfactory Opinion of Counsel is furnished to such effect, which Opinion of Counsel shall be an expense of the transferor or the transferee;

(vii)

we agree to be bound by all of the terms (including those relating to restrictions on transfer) of the Trust Agreement, pursuant to which the Trust was formed; we have reviewed carefully and understand the terms of the Trust Agreement;

(viii)

we either: (i) are not acquiring the Certificate directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and/or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or (ii) in the case of the Certificates, have provided the Opinion of Counsel required by the Agreement.
