This POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of March 1, 2007 (this “Agreement” or this “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), is by and among HMB ACCEPTANCE CORP., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”), U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as trustee (the “Trustee”), XXXXX FARGO BANK, N.A., as securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”) and master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), HOMEBANC MORTGAGE CORPORATION, a Georgia corporation, as seller (in such capacity, the “Seller”) and as servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”) and WILMINGTON TRUST COMPANY, a Delaware banking corporation, as Delaware trustee (the “Delaware Trustee”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

The Depositor has acquired the Mortgage Loans from the Seller, and at the Closing Date is the owner of the Mortgage Loans and the other property being conveyed by it to the Trustee hereunder for inclusion in the Trust Estate. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will acquire the Certificates from the Trust, as consideration for its transfer to the Trust of the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Estate. The Depositor has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement to provide for the conveyance to the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Estate. All covenants and agreements made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee herein with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Estate are for the benefit of the Holders from time to time of the Certificates. The Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Servicer and the Securities Administrator are entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee is accepting the Trust Estate, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.

As provided herein, an election shall be made that portions of the Trust Fund be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising four real estate mortgage investment conduits under Section 860D of the Code (each a “REMIC” or, in the alternative, Lower-Tier REMIC I, Lower-Tier REMIC II, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 (REMIC 3 also being referred to as the “Upper Tier REMIC”)). Any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of this Agreement shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the validity of such REMIC elections.

Each Certificate, other than the Class R Certificates, represents ownership of a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Class R Certificate represents ownership of the sole Class of residual interest in each REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.

The Upper Tier REMIC shall hold as its assets the several uncertificated interests in REMIC 2, other than the LT2-R Interest, and each such interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 2 for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. REMIC 2 shall hold as its assets the several Classes of uncertificated interests in Lower-Tier REMIC I and Lower-Tier REMIC II, other than the LT-RI and LTR-II Interests, and each such interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in Lower-Tier REMIC I or Lower-Tier REMIC II, as applicable, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. Lower-Tier REMIC I shall hold as its assets the Pool I Mortgage Loans and any related assets and Lower Tier REMIC II shall hold as assets the Pool II Mortgage Loans and related assets.

The startup day for each REMIC created hereby for purposes of the REMIC Provisions is the Closing Date. In addition, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the latest possible maturity date for each regular interest in each REMIC created hereby is the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

Lower-Tier REMIC I

(1)

The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) for each of these REMIC 2 Regular Interests is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates of the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group I-1 as of the first day of the related Collection Period.

(2)

The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) for each of these REMIC 2 Regular Interests is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates of the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group I-2 as of the first day of the related Collection Period.

(3)

The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) for each of these REMIC 2 Regular Interests is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates of the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group I-3 as of the first day of the related Collection Period.

(4)

The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) for each of these REMIC 2 Regular Interests is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the interest rates on the LTI-1-Sub, LTI-2-Sub, and LTI-3-Sub Interests for such Distribution Date, weighted based on their relative principal balances before taking into account any distributions on such Distribution Date.

(5)	The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) for each of these REMIC 2 Regular Interests is a per annum rate equal to the Group II Certificate Interest Rate on the Corresponding Class of Certificates for such Distribution Date.

(6)

The LTII-X Interest comprises two components, one of which has an initial principal balance of $3,178,796 on which no interest will accrue. The second component is a notional component having a notional balance on any Distribution Date equal to the sum of the principal balances of the REMIC LT-II Regular Interests. The LTII-X Interest shall accrue interest for each Interest Accrual Period at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the weighted average of the interest rates on the REMIC LT-II Regular Interests for such Distribution Date (the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates on the Pool II Mortgage Loans as of the first day of the related Collection Period) over (ii) the Adjusted REMIC II WAC. Interest accrued on the LTII-X Interest for any Interest Accrual Period will be deferred to the extent of any increase in the Group II Overcollateralization Amount on the related Distribution Date. Any interest so deferred shall not itself accrue interest.

(7)	The Class LT-R2 Interest is the sole residual interest in REMIC 2. It does not have an interest rate or a principal balance.

On each Distribution Date, all amounts distributed with respect to the REMIC LT-I Regular Interests and the REMIC LT-II Regular Interests shall first be distributed on the REMIC 2 Regular Interests as interest at the interest rates described above, provided that, any interest accrued on the Class LTII-X Interest shall be deferred to the extent of any increase in the Group II Overcollateralization Amount on such Distribution Date. Any remaining amounts shall be distributed first as principal on each REMIC 2 Regular Interest other than the LTII-X Interest until its principal balance equals the Class Principal Amount of the Corresponding Class of Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date, and any remaining amounts shall be distributed in respect of the LTII-X Interest.

All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the REMIC 2 Regular Interests in the same manner that principal distributions are allocated.

The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment, set-over, deposit and conveyance does not and is not intended to result in creation or assumption by the Trustee of any obligation of the Depositor, the Seller, or any other Person in connection with the Mortgage Loans or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto except as specifically set forth herein.

It is agreed and understood by the Seller, the Depositor and the Trustee (and the Depositor so represents and recognizes) that it is not intended that any Mortgage Loan to be included in the Trust Estate be (i) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003, (ii) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act effective January 1, 2004, (iii) a "High-Cost Home Mortgage Loan" as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act effective November 7, 2004 or (iv) a "High Cost Home Loan" as defined in the Indiana Home Loan Practices Act effective January 1, 2005.

(b) In connection with such transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans, the Depositor does hereby deliver to, and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Trustee, and/or the Custodian acting on the Trustee’s behalf, the following documents or instruments (collectively, the “Mortgage Loan Documents”) with respect to each Mortgage Loan so transferred and assigned (as to each, a “Mortgage File”):

(i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed either (A) in blank or (B) to the order of the Trustee in the form of the Form of Endorsement set forth in Exhibit Two to the Custodial Agreement, or with respect to any lost Mortgage Note, an original lost note affidavit, in the form set forth in Exhibit Three to the Custodial Agreement, stating that the original Mortgage Note was lost, misplaced or destroyed, together with a copy of the related Mortgage Note;

(ii) except as provided below, the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon (if the related Mortgage Loan is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage shall note the MIN and contain language that such Mortgage Loan is a MERS Mortgage Loan). If in connection with any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon on or prior to the Closing Date because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such Mortgage has been delivered for recordation or because such Mortgage has been lost or because such public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage, the Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian a photocopy of such Mortgage together with (i) in the case of a delay caused by the public recording office, an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer stating that such Mortgage has been delivered to the appropriate public recording office for recordation and that the original recorded Mortgage or a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage will be promptly delivered to the Custodian upon receipt thereof by the Servicer; or (ii) in the case of a Mortgage where a public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording office, a copy of such Mortgage with the recording information thereon certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage;

(iii) with respect to each Non-MERS Mortgage Loan, an original Assignment of Mortgage (which may be in the form of a blanket assignment if permitted in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located) with evidence of recording thereon unless an Opinion of Counsel described in clause (c) below is delivered to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, in which case, the Assignment of Mortgage shall be in form and substance acceptable for recording. The Mortgage shall be assigned either (A) in blank, without recourse, or (B) to “U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee of the HomeBanc Mortgage Trust 2007-1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,” without recourse;

(iv) an original copy of any intervening assignment of Mortgage showing a complete chain of assignments or, in the case of an intervening assignment that has not been received by the Servicer from the public recording office, an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer stating that such intervening assignment has been delivered to the appropriate public recording office for recordation and that the original recorded intervening assignment or a copy of such intervening assignment certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded intervening assignment will be promptly delivered to the Custodian upon receipt thereof by the Servicer, or in the case of an intervening assignment where a public recording office retains the original recorded intervening assignment, a copy of such intervening assignment with the recording information thereon certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded intervening assignment; or in the case of an intervening assignment that has been lost, a written Opinion of Counsel for the Seller that such original intervening assignment is not required to enforce the Trustee’s interest in the Mortgage Loans;

(v) the original or a certified copy of lender’s Title Insurance Policy (or, in lieu thereof, a commitment to issue such Title Insurance Policy, with an original or a certified copy of such Title Insurance Policy to follow as soon after the Closing Date as reasonably practicable) or attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title;

(vi) the original or copy of the policy or certificate of primary mortgage guaranty insurance, to the extent available, if any;

(vii) the original or copies of each assumption, modification, written assurance or substitution agreement, if any, or as to any such agreement which cannot be delivered prior to the Closing Date because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such assumption, modification or substitution agreement has been delivered for recordation, a photocopy of such assumption, modification or substitution agreement, pending delivery of the original thereof, together with an Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor certifying that the copy of such assumption, modification or substitution agreement delivered to the Custodian is a true copy and that the original of such agreement has been forwarded to the public recording office; and

(viii) the original of any security agreement or equivalent instrument executed in connection with the Mortgage or as to any security agreement or equivalent instrument that cannot be delivered on or prior to the Closing Date because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such document has been delivered for recordation, a photocopy of such document, pending delivery of the original thereof, together with an Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor certifying that the copy of such security agreement, chattel mortgage or their equivalent delivered to the Custodian is a true copy and that the original of such document has been forwarded to the public recording office.

The Depositor and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the form of endorsement attached to the Custodial Agreement as Exhibit Two to the Custodial Agreement is intended to effect the transfer to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages.

(c) Assignments of Mortgage with respect to each Non-MERS Mortgage Loan shall be recorded; provided, however, that such Assignments of Mortgage need not be recorded if, on or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller delivers an Opinion of Counsel (which must be Independent counsel) acceptable to the Rating Agencies, to the effect that recording in such states is not required to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Non-MERS Mortgage Loans.

(d) In instances where a Title Insurance Policy is required to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee under clause (b)(vi) above and is not so delivered, the Seller will provide a copy of such Title Insurance Policy to the Trustee, or to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee no later than ninety (90) days of the receipt by the Seller of the recorded documents from the applicable public recording office.

(e) For Mortgage Loans (if any) that have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents, herewith delivers to the Trustee, or to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate which shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such prepayment that are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.06 have been so deposited. All original documents that are not delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall be held by the Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders.

Section 2.02.Acceptance of Trust Estate; Review of Documentation.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01, the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the assets transferred by the Depositor of the assets included in the Trust Estate and has directed that the documents referred to in Section 2.01 and all other assets included in the definition of “Trust Estate” be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian) on its behalf.

The Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt by it or by the Custodian on its behalf of the Mortgage Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, subject to review thereof by the Trustee, or by the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, under this Section 2.02. The Trustee, or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, will execute and deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer (and the Trustee if delivered by the Custodian) on the Closing Date an Initial Certification, subject to any exceptions listed on the exception report attached thereto, in the form annexed to the Custodial Agreement as Exhibit Four (the “Initial Certification”).

(b) Within 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, will, for the benefit of Certificateholders, review each Mortgage File to ascertain that all required documents set forth in Section 2.01 have been received and appear on their face to contain the requisite signatures by or on behalf of the respective parties thereto, and shall deliver to the Depositor, the Seller (and the Trustee if delivered by the Custodian) an Interim Certification subject to any exceptions listed on the exception report attached thereto in the form annexed to the Custodial Agreement as Exhibit Five to the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan prepaid in full or any specifically identified in such certification as not covered by such certification), (i) all of the applicable documents specified in Section 2.01(b) are in its possession and (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear to relate to such Mortgage Loan (the “Interim Certification”). The Trustee, or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, shall determine whether such documents are executed and endorsed, but shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are valid, binding, legally effective, properly endorsed, genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or are in recordable form or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall have any responsibility for verifying the genuineness or the legal effectiveness of or authority for any signatures of or on behalf of any party or endorser or for the perfection or priority of any document.

(c) If in the course of the review described in paragraph (b) above the Trustee or the Custodian discovers any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File that is missing, does not appear regular on its face (i.e., is mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically altered) or appears to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, as applicable (each, a “Material Defect”), the Trustee or the Custodian, discovering such Material Defect shall identify the Mortgage Loan to which such Material Defect relates in the Interim Certification delivered to the Depositor and the Master Servicer. Within 90 days of its receipt of such notice, the Seller shall cure such Material Defect (and, in such event, the Seller shall provide the Trustee and the Custodian with an Officer’s Certificate confirming that such cure has been effected). If the Seller does not so cure such Material Defect, and if a loss has been incurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan that would, if such Mortgage Loan were not purchased from the Trust, constitute a Realized Loss, and such loss is attributable to the failure of the Seller to cure such Material Defect, the Seller shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loan from the Trust Estate at the Purchase Price. A loss shall be deemed to be attributable to the failure of the Seller to cure a Material Defect if, as determined by the Seller acting in good faith, absent such Material Defect, such loss would not have been incurred. The Seller may, in lieu of repurchasing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02, substitute for such Mortgage Loan a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.03. The failure of the Trustee or the Custodian to deliver the Interim Certification within 90 days after the Closing Date shall not affect or relieve the Seller of its obligation to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02 or any other Section of this Agreement requiring the repurchase of Mortgage Loans from the Trust.

(d) Within 180 days following the Closing Date, the Trustee, or the Custodian, shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Servicer (and the Trustee if delivered by the Custodian) a Final Certification subject to any exceptions listed on the exception report attached thereto substantially in the form attached to the Custodial Agreement as Exhibit Six evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files in its possession or control, with any exceptions noted thereto (the “Final Certification”).

(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute an assumption by the Trust, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificateholders of any unsatisfied duty, claim or other liability on any Mortgage Loan or to any Mortgagor.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the Custodian shall perform the applicable review of the Mortgage Loans and respective certifications thereof as provided in the Custodial Agreement.

(g) Upon execution of this Agreement, the Depositor hereby delivers to the Trustee and the Trustee acknowledges a receipt of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

(h) For purposes of the determinations required to be made by the Trustee or the Custodian pursuant to paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section 2.02, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the diskette, tape or other electronic media provided by or on behalf of the Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

Section 2.03. Grant Clause.

(a) It is intended that the conveyance by the Depositor to the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans, as provided for in Section 2.01 be construed as a sale by the Depositor to the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Further, it is not intended that any such conveyance be deemed to be a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate, 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 Delaware UCC (or the Relevant UCC if not the Delaware UCC); (b) the conveyances provided for in Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be (1) a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor’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 pursuant to the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and (C) any and all general intangibles consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the foregoing, and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all Liquidation Proceeds, all Insurance Proceeds, all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property and (2) an assignment by the Depositor to the Trustee of any security interest in any and all of the Depositor’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 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 Delaware UCC and any other Relevant UCC (including, without limitation, Section 9-313, 8-313 or 8-321 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.

(b) The Depositor and, at the Depositor’s direction, the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other property of the Trust Estate, 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 this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and file any UCC financing statements that are necessary to perfect the Trustee’s security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor, and furnish a copy of each such filed financing statement to the Securities Administrator. The Trustee shall prepare and file, at the expense of the Trust, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the Relevant UCC to perfect the Trustee’s security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation (x) continuation statements, and (y) to the extent that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice of such change or transfer, such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of the Seller, the Depositor or the Trustee, (2) any change of location of the place of business or the chief executive office of the Seller or the Depositor or (3) any transfer of any interest of the Seller or the Depositor in any Mortgage Loan.

The Depositor shall not organize under the law of any jurisdiction other than the state under which each is organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing under an additional jurisdiction) without giving thirty (30) days prior written notice of such action to its immediate and mediate transferee, including the Trustee. Before effecting such change, the Depositor shall prepare and file in the appropriate filing office any financing statements or other statements necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its immediate and mediate transferees, including the Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Depositor authorizes its immediate or mediate transferee to file in any filing office any initial financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation statements, or any other statements or filings described in this Section 2.03(b).

(c) The Depositor shall not take any action inconsistent with the sale by the Depositor of all of its right, title and interest in and to the Trust Estate and shall indicate or shall cause to be indicated in its records and records held on its behalf that ownership of each Mortgage Loan and the other property of the Trust Estate is held by the Trustee. In addition, the Depositor shall respond to any inquiries from third parties with respect to ownership of a Mortgage Loan or any other property of the Trust Estate by stating that it is not the owner of such Mortgage Loan and that ownership of such Mortgage Loan or other property of the Trust Estate is held by the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

Section 2.04. Covenant of Seller with Respect to Certificates. As of any date of determination, none of the Seller, its Affiliates or its agents may, in the aggregate, hold more than 90% of the aggregate Class Principal Amount or Percentage Interests in the Certificates.

(ii) Immediately prior to the transfer by the Depositor to the Trust of each Mortgage Loan, the Depositor had good and equitable title to each Mortgage Loan (insofar as such title was conveyed to it by the Seller) subject to no prior lien, claim, participation interest, mortgage, security interest, pledge, charge or other encumbrance or other interest of any nature;

(iii) As of the Closing Date, the Depositor has transferred all right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust;

(i) the Seller is a Georgia corporation, duly organized validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has the corporate power to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is currently engaged. The Seller is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the business transacted by it or any properties owned or leased by it requires such qualification and in which the failure so to qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, or condition (financial or other) of the Seller;

(iii) the Seller is not required to obtain the consent of any other party or any consent, license, approval or authorization from, or registration or declaration with, any governmental authority, bureau or agency in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, except for such consent, license, approval or authorization, or registration or declaration, as shall have been obtained or filed, as the case may be, prior to the Closing Date;

(iv) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Seller will not violate any provision of any existing law or regulation or any order or decree of any court applicable to the Seller or any provision of the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Seller, or constitute a material breach of any mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement to which the Seller is a party or by which the Seller may be bound; and

(v) no litigation or administrative proceeding of or before any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to the knowledge of the Seller threatened, against the Seller or any of its properties or with respect to this Agreement which in the opinion of the Seller has a reasonable likelihood of resulting in a material adverse effect on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) The Seller hereby makes for the benefit of the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Depositor as of the Closing Date or such other date as is specified, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit A of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

(d) To the extent that any fact, condition or event with respect to a Mortgage Loan constitutes a breach of a representation or warranty of the Seller under subsection (c) above or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the only right or remedy of the Trustee or any Certificateholder hereunder shall be their rights to enforce the obligations of the Seller under any applicable representation or warranty made by it. The Trustee on behalf of the Trust acknowledges that the Depositor shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty with respect to the Mortgage Loans (except as set forth in Section 3.01(a)(ii)) under any circumstances.

Section 3.02.Discovery of Breach. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties (i) of the Depositor set forth in Section 3.01(a), (ii) of the Seller set forth in Section 3.01(b) and (c), and (iii) of the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.05 of this Agreement, shall each survive delivery of the Mortgage Files and the Assignment of Mortgage of each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee and shall continue throughout the term of this Agreement. With respect to the representations and warranties which are made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by the Depositor, the Seller, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Underwriter or the Servicer that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interests of the Certificateholders or the Trustee therein, notwithstanding such Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, remedies for breach will apply to such inaccuracy. Any breach of the representation and warranty set forth in clauses (cc), (ee) and (ff) of Exhibit A of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interest of the Trust in that Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty. Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee of a breach of any of such representations and warranties made by the Seller that adversely and materially affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders or the Trustee therein, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties. Within 90 days of the discovery by the Seller of a breach of any representation or warranty given to the Trustee by the Seller or the Seller’s receipt of written notice of such a breach, the Seller shall either (a) cure such breach in all material respects, (b) repurchase such Mortgage Loan or any property acquired in respect thereof from the Trustee at the Purchase Price or (c) substitute a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan.

Section 3.03.Repurchase, Purchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans.

(a) With respect to any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Seller pursuant to Section 3.02 of this Agreement, the principal portion of the funds in respect of such repurchase of a Mortgage Loan will be considered a Principal Prepayment and the Purchase Price shall be deposited in the Collection Account. Upon receipt by the Securities Administrator of the full amount of the Purchase Price for a Deleted Mortgage Loan and the receipt by the Trustee of notification thereof, or upon receipt of notification from the Custodian that it had received the Mortgage File for a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan (and any applicable Substitution Amount), the Trustee shall release or cause to be released and reassign to the Depositor or the Seller, as applicable, the related Mortgage File for the Deleted Mortgage Loan and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in such party or its designee or assignee title to any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, free and clear of all security interests, liens and other encumbrances created by this Agreement, which instruments shall be prepared by the Servicer and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with respect to the Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller indemnifies and holds the Trust Estate, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Depositor and each Certificateholder harmless against any and all taxes, claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trust Estate, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Delaware Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder may sustain in connection with any actions of such Seller relating to a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan other than in compliance with the terms of this Section 3.03 and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, to the extent that any such action causes an Adverse REMIC Event.

(b) With respect to each Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan to be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian) in exchange for a Deleted Mortgage Loan: (i) the Depositor or the Seller, as applicable, must deliver to the Trustee (or a Custodian) the Mortgage File for the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan containing the documents set forth in Section 2.01(b) along with a written certification certifying as to the delivery of such Mortgage File and containing the granting language set forth in Section 2.01(a); and (ii) the Seller and the Depositor will be deemed to have made, with respect to such Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, each of the representations and warranties made by it with respect to the related Deleted Mortgage Loan. As soon as practicable after the delivery of any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan hereunder, the Trustee, at the expense of the Depositor and at the direction and with the cooperation of the Servicer shall (i) with respect to a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a Non-MERS Mortgage Loan, cause the Assignment of Mortgage to be recorded by the Servicer if required pursuant to Section 2.01(c), or (ii) with respect to a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, cause to be taken such actions as are necessary to cause the Trustee (on behalf of the Trust) to be clearly identified as the owner of each such Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS if required pursuant to Section 2.01(c). The Trustee or its designee shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of any Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the addition, if any, of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right to substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Article III shall be subject to the additional limitations that no substitution of a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan shall be made unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to make the substitution) that, under current law, such substitution will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may not waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor unless (1) such Mortgage Loan is in default or (2) if in the Servicer's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence (a) prevents an event of default by the borrower from existing that would not be in the best interest of the Trust, Trustee and Certificateholders and (b) is not materially adverse to the Trust, Trustee and the Certificateholders, provided, however, that unless the Servicer has obtained the prior written consent of the Master Servicer, the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, defer for more than ninety (90) days or forgive any payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the Outstanding Principal Balance (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such modification which has been agreed to in writing by the Master Servicer and which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Servicer Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 4.03(c), the difference between (a) such month's principal and one month's interest at the Net Mortgage Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances pursuant to Section 4.03. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver on behalf of itself, the Trust and the Trustee, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Servicer may not enter into a forbearance agreement or similar arrangement with respect to any Mortgage Loan which runs more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the first delinquent Due Date. Any such agreement shall be approved by the Master Servicer and, if required, by the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy insurer and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy insurer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would cause any Adverse REMIC Event.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall employ Accepted Servicing Practices, giving due consideration to the reliance by the Trust, Trustee and Certificateholders on the Servicer. Notwithstanding the appointment of any Subservicer pursuant to Section 4.09, the Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of all of the servicing obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement.

(b) Servicer not to Sell Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall not sell any Mortgage Loan that is included in the Trust Estate, whether for the purpose of maximizing liquidation proceeds or otherwise.

(c) Collection and Liquidation of Mortgage Loans. Continuously from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the Servicer will proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, Accepted Servicing Practices, and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Further, the Servicer shall take special care in ascertaining and estimating annual escrow payments, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable, so that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

The Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Servicer would use in servicing loans for its own account, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and the best interest of the Trust, the Trustee and the Certificateholders, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert 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 4.02(a). Foreclosure or comparable proceedings shall be initiated within ninety (90) days of default for Mortgaged Properties for which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, subject to state and federal law and regulation. The Servicer shall use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Trust, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Trust after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Servicer through Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.02(e). Servicer shall obtain prior approval of the Master Servicer as to repair or restoration expenses in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). The Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer in writing of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings and not less than five (5) days prior to the acceptance or rejection of any offer of reinstatement. The Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings or functions; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related property, as contemplated in Section 4.02(e). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Master Servicer or the Trustee otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector at the Master Servicer’s or Trustee’s expense, as applicable. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall promptly provide the Master Servicer and the Trustee with a written report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Master Servicer shall determine how the Servicer shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

Notwithstanding the generality of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall take such actions generally in accordance with the Servicer’s established default timeline and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices with respect to each Mortgage Loan and Mortgagor for which there is a delinquency until such time as the related Mortgagor is current with all payments due under the Mortgage Loan.

(d) Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Account.

(i) The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to the Mortgage Loans separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall initially establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, each of which accounts shall be titled “HomeBanc Mortgage Corporation. in trust for U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, for the HomeBanc Mortgage Trust 2007-1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates” and referred to herein as a “Custodial Account.” Each Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. Any funds deposited in the Custodial Account shall at all times be insured by the FDIC up to the FDIC insurance limits, or must be invested in Eligible Investments subject to the provisions of Section 4.02(i) hereof; provided, however that any such Eligible Investment shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.02(e) hereof. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit C hereto. A copy of such certification or letter agreement shall be furnished to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and, upon request, to any subsequent owner of the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Custodial Account, no later than 48 hours after receipt of funds, and retain therein the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or 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:

(1) all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments and related penalties, on the Mortgage Loans;

(2) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate;

(3) all Net Liquidation Proceeds;

(4) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer in connection with any REO Property pursuant to Section 4.02(o) and in connection therewith, the Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer with written detail itemizing all of such amounts;

(5) all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 4.02(j), other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, the Mortgage Loan Documents or applicable law;

(6) all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, the loan documents or applicable law;

(7) any Monthly Advances;

(8) with respect to each full or partial Principal Prepayment, any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, to the extent of the Servicer's aggregate Servicing Fee received with respect to the related Prepayment Period;

(9) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(j) in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy, such deposit shall be made from the Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement therefor; and

(10) any other amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant this Agreement.

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of the Servicing Fee and Ancillary Income, need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution and any income or appreciation on any investment of such funds shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer and the Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.02(e). The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Servicer out of its own funds, without any right of reimbursement therefor, immediately as realized.

(ii) The Servicer agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage Loans, or any funds that are deposited in any Custodial Account or Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to or for the benefit of the Trustee, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, nor assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage Loan or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan.

(e) Permitted Withdrawals from Custodial Account.

The Servicer may, from time to time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i) to make payments to the Master Servicer in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 4.03(a);

(ii) to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Servicer's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made, it being understood that, in the case of such reimbursement, the Servicer's right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders, except that, where the Servicer is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 3.03, the Servicer's right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Trust of the Purchase Price pursuant to such Section and all other amounts required to be paid to the Trust with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(iii) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees (or REO administration fees described in Section 4.02(o)), the Servicer's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (3) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related proceeds from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides, the Pool I Termination Price or Pool II Termination Price, as applicable, or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement; any recovery shall be made upon liquidation of the REO Property;

(iv) to pay to itself as part of its servicing compensation (a) any interest income or appreciation earned on funds in the Custodial Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Servicer Remittance Date), (b) the Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery as to interest with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan;

(v) to pay to itself with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has been repurchased pursuant to Section 3.03 all amounts received thereon and not distributed as of the date on which the related Purchase Price is determined;

(vi) to transfer funds to another Eligible Account in accordance with Section 4.02(i) hereof;

(vii) to remove funds inadvertently placed in the Custodial Account by the Servicer;

(viii) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement; and

(ix) to reimburse itself for any Nonrecoverable Advances and amounts reimbursable pursuant to Section 4.05(b) and Section 4.06(b).

(f) Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Account. The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled “HomeBanc Mortgage Corporation in trust for U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, for the HomeBanc Mortgage Trust 2007-1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates.” The Escrow Accounts shall be an Eligible Account. Nothing herein shall require the Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.02(g). The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit D hereto. A copy of such certification or letter agreement shall be furnished to the Master Servicer.

The Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, and in the Escrow Account or Accounts no later than 48 hours after receipt of funds, and retain therein:

(i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, if required, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement to be paid by the related Mortgagor to the Servicer;

(ii) all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property; and

(iii) all Servicing Advances for Mortgagors whose Escrow Payments are insufficient to cover escrow disbursements.

The Servicer shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth in Section 4.02(g). The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest earnings paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution, other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor. To the extent required by law, the Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account may be non-interest bearing or the interest earnings paid thereon are insufficient for such purposes.

(g) Permitted Withdrawals from Escrow Account. Withdrawals from the Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by the Servicer only:

(i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, condominium charges, fire and hazard insurance premiums or other items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage;

(ii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advance of an Escrow Payment made by the Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;

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

(iv) to the extent permitted by applicable law, for transfer to the Custodial Account and application to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note;

(v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Section 4.02(n);

(vi) to pay to the Servicer, or any Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account;

(vii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Escrow Account, to the extent required by law, and to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient, shall pay such interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor; and

(viii) to pay to the Mortgagors or other parties Insurance Proceeds deposited in accordance with Section 4.02(f).

(h) Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.

(i) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of primary mortgage insurance premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments (which will constitute a Servicing Advance).

(ii) The Servicer will maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be terminated only with the approval of the Master Servicer, or as required by applicable law or regulation. The Servicer will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 4.04(a), the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Trust, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.02(d), any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.02(e).

(i) Protection of Accounts. The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Eligible Institution from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the consent of the Master Servicer, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably, and the Servicer shall give notice to the Master Servicer and the Trustee of any change in the location of the Custodial Account.

(j) Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (a) the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, each Mortgage Loan shall be covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in effect with an insurance carrier acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the Xxxxxx Mae Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Servicer shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Servicer shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor's behalf. The Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.02(e). It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need be required by the Servicer of the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to this Agreement, the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides or such applicable state or federal laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount or material change in coverage to the Servicer. The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are Qualified Insurers.

(k) Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance. In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by an insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.02(j) and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.02(j), it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.02(j), it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 4.02(j), and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Master Servicer and the Trustee, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Master Servicer or Trustee, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, a certified true copy of such policy and shall use its best efforts to obtain a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Master Servicer and the Trustee.

(l) Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance. The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loan to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loan. The Servicer Fidelity Bond shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement and fraud of such persons. The Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses arising out of errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.02(l) requiring the Servicer Fidelity Bond or the Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Xxxxxx Mae in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides. Upon request of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, the Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer and the Trustee a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Servicer Fidelity Bond and the Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Servicer Fidelity Bond or Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Master Servicer. The Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer and the Trustee within five (5) business days of receipt of notice that such Servicer Fidelity Bond or Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. The Trustee on behalf of the Trust must be named as a loss payee on the Servicer Fidelity Bond and as an additional insured on the Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy. Upon request by the Master Servicer, the Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer with an insurance certificate certifying coverage under this Section 4.02(l), and will provide an update to such certificate upon request, or upon renewal or material modification of coverage.

(m) Inspections. The Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged Property as often as deemed necessary by the Servicer to assure itself that the value of the Mortgaged Property is being preserved. In addition, the Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged Property and/or take such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices or as may be required by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer. The Servicer shall keep a written report of each such inspection.

(n) Restoration of Mortgaged Property. The Servicer need not obtain the approval of the Master Servicer prior to releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. At a minimum, the Servicer shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds:

(i) the Servicer shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect thereto;

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

(iii) pending repairs or restoration, the Servicer shall place the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in the Escrow Account.

(o) Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property. In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee or its designee, or in the event the Trustee or its designee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Servicer from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust.

The Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer in accordance with the Xxxxxx Mae Guides of each acquisition of REO Property upon such acquisition (and, in any event, shall provide notice of the consummation of any foreclosure sale within three (3) Business Days from the date the Servicer receives notice of such consummation), together with a copy of the drive by appraisal or brokers price opinion of the Mortgaged Property obtained in connection with such acquisition, and thereafter assume the responsibility for marketing such REO property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Servicer shall continue to provide certain administrative services to the Master Servicer relating to such REO Property as set forth in this Section 4.02(o). No Servicing Fee shall be assessed or otherwise accrue on any REO Property from and after the date on which it becomes an REO Property.

The Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, and in accordance with the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Servicer shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least monthly thereafter or more frequently as required by the circumstances. The Servicer shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the Master Servicer.

The Servicer shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Servicer determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Master Servicer to such effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a longer period than one (1) year is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Servicer shall report monthly to the Master Servicer as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to the close of the third taxable year after its acquisition by the Trust unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be at the expense of any such recipient) to the effect that the holding by the Trust of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such three-year period will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event, in which case the Trust may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) cause an Adverse REMIC Event, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust with respect to the imposition of any such taxes. The Servicer shall prepare for and deliver to the Master Servicer a statement with respect to any REO Property that has been rented showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses incurred in connection with the management and maintenance of such REO Property at such times as is necessary to enable the Securities Administrator to comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in the Collection Account no later than the close of business on each Determination Date.

No REO Property shall be sold for less than ninety five percent (95%) of its Appraised Value, without the prior consent of Trustee. All requests for reimbursement of Servicing Advances shall be in accordance with the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides. The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of the Trust (subject to the above conditions) only with the prior written consent of the Master Servicer. The Servicer shall provide monthly reports to the Master Servicer in reference to the status of the marketing of the REO Properties.

(p) Compliance with Safeguarding Customer Information Requirements. The Servicer has implemented and will maintain security measures designed to meet the objectives of the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information published in final form on February 1, 2001, 66 Fed. Reg. 8616, and the rules promulgated thereunder, as amended from time to time (the “Guidelines”).

(q) Notification of Maturity Date. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall execute and deliver to the Mortgagor any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the maturity date if required under applicable law.

(r) Purchase of Modified Mortgage Loans. The Servicer may agree to a modification of any Mortgage Loan (the “Modified Mortgage Loan”) if (i) the modification is in lieu of a refinancing and (ii) the Mortgage Rate on the Modified Mortgage Loan is approximately a prevailing market rate for newly-originated mortgage loans having similar terms and (iii) the Servicer purchases the Modified Mortgage Loan from the Trust as described below. Effective immediately after the modification, and, in any event, on the same Business Day on which the modification occurs, all interest of the Trust in the Modified Mortgage Loan shall automatically be deemed transferred and assigned to the Servicer and all benefits and burdens of ownership thereof, including the right to Group I Accrued Interest thereon from the date of modification and the risk of default thereon, shall pass to the Servicer. The Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee a certification of a Servicing Officer to the effect that all requirements of this paragraph have been satisfied with respect to the Modified Mortgage Loan. For federal income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator shall account for such purchase as a prepayment in full of the Modified Mortgage Loan.

The Servicer shall remit the Purchase Price for any Modified Mortgage Loan to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.06(d) within one Business Day after the purchase of the Modified Mortgage Loan. Upon receipt by the Trustee (or the Custodian) of written notification of any such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall release to the Servicer the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in the Servicer any Modified Mortgage Loan previously transferred and assigned pursuant hereto.

Section 4.03. Payments to the Master Servicer.

(a) Remittances. On each Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit by wire transfer of immediately Group I Available Funds to the Master Servicer (i) all amounts credited to the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the preceding Determination Date, net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.02(e), plus (ii) all Monthly Advances, if any, which the Servicer is obligated to remit pursuant to Section 4.03(c), plus, (iii) Compensating Interest Payments, minus (iv) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or dates subsequent to the preceding Determination Date, which amounts shall be remitted on the Servicer Remittance Date next succeeding the Collection Period for such amounts. It is understood that, by operation of Section 4.02(d), the remittance on the first Servicer Remittance Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans is to include principal collected after the Cut-off Date through the preceding Determination Date plus interest, adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate collected through such Determination Date exclusive of any portion thereof allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, with the adjustments specified in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.

With respect to any remittance received by the Master Servicer after the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall pay to the Master Servicer interest on any such late payment at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change plus two (2) percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall cover the period commencing with the day following the Business Day such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made to the Master Servicer, both inclusive. The payment by the Servicer of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Servicer. On each Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall provide a remittance report detailing all amounts being remitted pursuant to this Section 4.03(a).

All remittances required to be made to the Master Servicer shall be made to the following wire account or to such other account as may be specified by the Master Servicer from time to time:

(b) Statements to Master Servicer and Securities Administrator. The Servicer shall furnish to Master Servicer an individual loan accounting report, as of the last Business Day of each month, in the Servicer's assigned loan number order to document Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual Mortgage Loan basis. With respect to each month, the corresponding individual loan accounting report shall be received by the Master Servicer no later than the fifth Business Day of the following month on a disk or tape or other computer-readable format in such format as may be mutually agreed upon by both Master Servicer and Servicer, and no later than the fifth Business Day of the following month in hard copy, and shall contain the following:

(i) With respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to principal (including a separate breakdown of any Principal Prepayment, including the date of such prepayment, and any prepayment penalties or premiums, along with a detailed report of interest on principal prepayment amounts remitted in accordance with Section 4.02(d));

(ii) with respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to interest;

(vi) The number and aggregate Outstanding Principal Balances of Mortgage Loans (a) Delinquent (1) 30 to 59 days, (2) 60 to 89 days, (3) 90 days or more and (4) 180 days or more and charged-off; (b) as to which foreclosure has commenced; and (c) as to which REO Property has been acquired.

The Servicer shall provide a monthly remittance report to the Master Servicer in a mutually agreeable format. The Servicer shall also provide a default report containing the information specified in Exhibit E attached hereto with each such report.

The Servicer shall prepare and file any and all information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority or to the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator with such information as may be requested by it and required for the completion of any tax reporting responsibility of the Securities Administrator within such reasonable time frame as shall enable the Securities Administrator to timely file each Schedule Q (or other applicable tax report or return) required to be filed by it.

(c) Monthly Advances by Servicer. Not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all payments not previously advanced by the Servicer, whether or not deferred pursuant to Section 4.03(a), of principal (due after the Cut-off Date) and interest not allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate, which were due on a Mortgage Loan and delinquent at the close of business on the related Determination Date; provided, however, that the Servicer may use the Amount Held for Future Distribution (as defined below) then on deposit in the Custodial Account to make such Monthly Advances. The Servicer shall deposit any portion of the Amount Held for Future Distribution used to pay Monthly Advances into the Custodial Account on any future Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the funds that are available in the Custodial Account for remittance to the Master Servicer on such Servicer Remittance Date are less than the amount of payments required to be made to the Master Servicer on such Servicer Remittance Date.

The “Amount Held for Future Distribution” as to any Servicer Remittance Date shall be the total of the amounts held in the Custodial Account at the close of business on the preceding Determination Date which were received after the Cut-off Date on account of (i) Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Principal Prepayments received or made in the month of such Servicer Remittance Date, and (ii) payments which represent early receipt of Monthly Payments of principal and interest due on a date or dates subsequent to the related Due Date.

The Servicer's obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, or through the Servicer Remittance Date prior to the date on which the Mortgaged Property liquidates (including Insurance Proceeds, proceeds from the sale of REO Property or Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the Mortgage Loan unless the Servicer deems such advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance. In such event, the Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer an Officer's Certificate of the Servicer to the effect that an officer of the Servicer has reviewed the related Mortgage File and has made the reasonable determination that any additional advances are nonrecoverable.

(d) Liquidation Reports. Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property, the acquisition thereof by the Trustee pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or the charge off of a Mortgage Loan that is 180 days Delinquent, the Servicer shall submit to the Trustee and the Master Servicer a monthly liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property. The Servicer shall also provide reports on the status of REO Property containing such information as the Trustee may reasonably request.

(e) Credit Reporting. For each Mortgage Loan, in accordance with its current servicing practices, the Servicer will accurately and fully report its underlying borrower credit files to each of the following credit repositories or their successors: Equifax Credit Information Services, Inc., Trans Union, LLC and Experian Information Solution, Inc., on a monthly basis in a timely manner.

Section 4.04. General Servicing Procedures.

(a) Transfers of Mortgaged Property. The Servicer will, to the extent it has actual 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 and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any “due-on-sale” clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on- sale” clause, the Servicer will enter into an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged 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. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 4.04(a), the Servicer, with the prior consent of the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement.

In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the Servicer. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the amount of the Monthly Payment and the maturity date may not be changed (except pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note). If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Servicer diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer and the Trustee that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed and shall forward to the Custodian the original of any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. All fees collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Servicer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, the 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 which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 4.04(a), the term "assumption" is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

(b) Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall immediately notify the Master Servicer by a certification of a Servicing Officer, 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 4.02(d) have been or will be so deposited, and the Servicer shall request delivery to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Custodian in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.12.

In the event the Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Trustee on behalf of the Trust may have under the mortgage instruments, the Servicer, upon written demand, shall remit within two (2) Business Days to the Trust the then Outstanding Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall maintain the Servicer Fidelity Bond and the Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy insuring the Servicer against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

(c) Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account (to the extent of interest payments collected on the Mortgage Loans) or to retain from interest payments collected on the Mortgage Loans, the Servicing Fee, subject to Compensating Interest Payments. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 4.04(a), and late payment charges or otherwise shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. No Servicing Fee shall be payable in connection with partial Monthly Payments. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for in this Agreement.

Section 4.05. Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

(a) Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Servicer.

(b) Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties of the Servicer. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.05(a) shall survive the engagement of the Servicer to perform the servicing responsibilities as of the Closing Date hereunder and the delivery of the Servicing Files to the Servicer and shall inure to the benefit of the Master Servicer and the Trustee. Upon discovery by either the Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the ability of the Servicer to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement or otherwise materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgaged Property or the priority of the security interest on such Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.

Within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Servicer of any breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 4.05(a) which materially and adversely affects the ability of the Servicer to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement or otherwise materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgaged Property or the priority of the security interest on such Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured, the Servicer shall, at the Master Servicer’s option, assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement (or respecting the affected Mortgage Loans) to a successor servicer.

In addition, the Servicer shall indemnify all other parties to this Agreement and hold each of them harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Servicer’s representations and warranties contained in Section 4.05(a).

Any cause of action against the Servicer relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Section 4.05(a) shall accrue upon (i) discovery of such breach by the Servicer or notice thereof by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to the Servicer, (ii) failure by the Servicer to cure such breach within the applicable cure period, and (iii) demand upon the Servicer by the Master Servicer or the Trustee for compliance with this Agreement.

(c) Additional Indemnification by the Servicer. The Servicer shall indemnify the Master Servicer, the Trust, the Delaware Trustee, the Trustee, and the Securities Administrator and hold each of them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses (collectively, the “Liabilities”) that the indemnified party may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans that may result in such Liabilities, and the Servicer shall assume (with the prior written consent of the indemnified party) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or any indemnified party in respect of such claim and follow any written instructions received from such indemnified party in connection with such claim. The Servicer shall be reimbursed promptly from the Custodial Account for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding sentence except when the claim is in any way related to the Servicer’s indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.05(c), the failure of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 4.05(a) or the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer.

Section 4.06. The Servicer.

(a) Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer. The Servicer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation except as permitted herein, and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Servicer whether or not related to loan servicing, shall be the successor of the Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person, or the parent company of such successor or surviving Person, shall be an institution (i) having a generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) net worth not less than $25,000,000, (ii) which is a HUD-approved mortgagee whose primary business is in origination and servicing of residential mortgage loans, and (iii) who is a Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing; provided, however, that if such successor or surviving Person does not have a GAAP net worth of at least $25,000,000, the parent company of such successor or surviving Person shall act as guarantor with respect to such successor's obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others. Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator 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 Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in strict compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (except to the extent otherwise covered by Section 4.05(c)). The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the 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 Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Custodial Account for the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action.

The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust against any and all Liabilities incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, except to the extent such Liabilities resulted from or arose out of the negligence, bad faith or willful misfeasance in the performance of the Servicer’s (or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer) duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder.

(c) Limitation on Resignation and Assignment by the Servicer. The Servicer shall not assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Servicer and the Master Servicer or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to each of them. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 4.08.

With respect to the retention of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Servicer acknowledges that the Seller, Master Servicer and Trustee have acted in reliance upon the Servicer's independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plan, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section, the Servicer shall not either assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, other than in the normal course of business, without the prior written approval of the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that the Servicer may assign the Agreement and the servicing hereunder without the consent of the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee to an affiliate of the Servicer to which all servicing of the Servicer is assigned so long as (i) such affiliate is a Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac approved servicer and (ii) if it is intended that such affiliate be spun off to the shareholders of the Servicer, such affiliate has a GAAP net worth of at least $25,000,000 and (iii) such affiliate shall deliver to the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee a certification pursuant to which such affiliate shall agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall certify that such affiliate is a Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac approved servicer in good standing.

Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 4.06(c), in the event that the Servicer shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof without (i) satisfying the requirements set forth herein or (ii) the prior written consent of the then such parties shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Servicer (other than with respect to accrued but unpaid Servicing Fees and Servicing Advances remaining unpaid) or any third party. Nothing in this Section shall restrict the right of the Servicer to cause the Mortgage Loans to be subserviced as provided in this Agreement.

(d) Successor Servicers. The provisions of Sections 4.06(a), (b) and (c) shall apply to any successor to the Servicer hereunder.

Section 4.07.Termination for Cause.

Any of the following occurrences shall constitute an event of default (each, a “Servicer Event of Default”) on the part of the Servicer:

(i) any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Master Servicer any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of one (1) Business Day; or

(ii) failure by the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement (other than with respect to Section 8.01, Section 8.02, Section 8.03 or Section 8.04(b)(ii)) which continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Master Servicer and the remedial period provided for herein has expired; or

(iii) the Servicer ceases to be qualified to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is currently so qualified, but only to the extent such non-qualification materially and adversely affects the Servicer's ability to perform its obligations hereunder; or

(iv) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, including bankruptcy, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; or

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

(vi) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

(vii) the Servicer ceases to be approved by either Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac as a mortgage loan seller or servicer for more than thirty (30) days; or

(viii) the Servicer attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder or the Servicer attempts, without the consent of the Master Servicer, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets or to assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof; or

(ix) the Servicer fails to meet the eligibility criteria set forth in the last sentence of Section 4.06(a); or

(x) failure by the Servicer to duly perform its obligations under Section 8.01, Section 8.02, Section 8.03 or Section 8.04(b)(ii) within the required time period set forth in such Sections.

Then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Master Servicer, by notice in writing to the Servicer, in addition to whatever rights the Master Servicer may have under Sections 3.03 and 4.05(c) and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, may, and shall, if so directed by the Majority Certificateholders, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 4.08. Upon written request from the Master Servicer, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor's possession all Mortgage Files, and 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 Servicer's sole expense. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Master Servicer and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.

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

Section 4.08.Successor to Servicer. Prior to termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 4.06(c), 4.07 and 5.09, the Master Servicer shall (i) succeed to and assume all of the Servicer's responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor having the characteristics set forth in Section 4.06(a) hereof acceptable to the Rating Agencies, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such an appointment will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then current rating of any of the Certificates, and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement prior to the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Master Servicer may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as the Master Servicer and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Servicer's duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Sections, the Servicer shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section and shall in no event relieve the Servicer of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 4.05(a) and the remedies available to the Master Servicer and the Trustee under Sections 4.05(b) and 4.05(c), it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections 4.05(a), 4.05(b) and 4.05(c) shall be applicable to the Servicer notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Servicer, or the termination of this Agreement.

Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer and to the Master Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Servicer or this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.06(c), 4.07 or 5.09 shall not affect any claims that the Master Servicer may have against the Servicer arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

The Servicer shall promptly deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account and the Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Servicer shall account for all funds. The Servicer shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things all as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer. Within ten (10) Business Days of the execution and delivery of such instruments, the successor shall reimburse the Servicer for unrecovered Servicing Advances which the successor retains hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.

Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the Servicer shall notify by mail the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Seller and the Depositor of such appointment.

Section 4.09. Subservicers and Subservicing Agreements.

(a) The Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by a Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer provided that the Subservicer is an entity that engages in the business of servicing loans, and in either case shall be authorized to transact business, and licensed to service mortgage loans, in the state or states where 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 related subservicing agreement, and in either case shall be a Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer in good standing, and no event has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage, which would make it unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for lenders imposed by Xxxxxx Xxx or for seller/servicers imposed by Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, or which would require notification to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. In addition, each Subservicer will obtain and preserve its qualifications to do business as a foreign corporation and its licenses to service mortgage loans, in each jurisdiction in which such qualifications and/or licenses are or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform or cause to be performed its duties under the related subservicing agreement. The Servicer may perform any of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause a Subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Servicer of a Subservicer shall not release the Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and the Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of the Subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Servicer. The Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of the Subservicer from its own funds, and the Subservicer's fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee. The Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer promptly in writing upon the appointment of any Subservicer.

(b) At the cost and expense of the Servicer, without any right of reimbursement from the Custodial Account, the Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of a Subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor Subservicer meeting the requirements in the preceding paragraph, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Servicer, at the Servicer’s option, from electing to service the Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated and if requested to do so by the Master Servicer, the Servicer shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of any Subservicer effective as of the date of termination of the Servicer. The Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer from the Servicer’s own funds without reimbursement from the Trust.

(c) Any subservicing agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the Servicer alone and the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to any Subservicer, except that the Trustee shall have such claims or rights that arise as a result of any funds held by a Subservicer in trust for or on behalf of the Trust. Notwithstanding the execution of any subservicing agreement, the Servicer shall not be relieved of any liability hereunder and shall remain obligated and liable for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans.

(d) Any subservicing agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and Servicer alone, and none of the Master Servicer, the Delaware Trustee, the Trustee, the Depositor or the Trust shall have any obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to any Subservicer including any obligation, duty or liability of such parties to pay the Subservicer's fees and expenses. For purposes of distributions and advances by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when the Subservicer has received such payment.

(x) the Master Servicer has obtained a Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and a Master Servicer Fidelity Bond in accordance with Section 5.02 each of which is in full force and effect, and each of which provides at least such coverage as is required hereunder; and

(xi) the information about the Master Servicer under the heading “The Master Servicer” in the Offering Documents relating to the Master Servicer does not include an untrue statement of a material fact and does not omit to state a material fact, with respect to the statements made, necessary in order to make the statements in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading.

(b) It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 5.01 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Seller, the Depositor, the Trust, the Delaware Trustee, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Servicer and hold them harmless against any loss, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Master Servicer’s representations and warranties contained in this Section 5.01. It is understood and agreed that the enforcement of the obligation of the Master Servicer set forth in this Section to indemnify the foregoing parties as provided in this Section constitutes the sole remedy (other than as set forth in Section 9.01) of such parties respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. Such indemnification shall survive any termination of the Master Servicer as Master Servicer hereunder, and any termination of this Agreement.

Any cause of action against the Master Servicer relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in this Section shall accrue upon discovery of such breach by the Seller, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Servicer or notice thereof by any one of such parties to the other parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall not be liable for special, indirect or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits).

Section 5.02. Master Servicer Fidelity Bond and Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy.

(a) The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a Master Servicer Fidelity Bond and a Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy, affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on such Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and the Master Servicer Fidelity Bond shall be in such form and amount that would be consistent with coverage customarily maintained by master servicers of mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans and shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall provide the Depositor and the Trustee, upon request, with a copy of such policy and fidelity bond. The Master Servicer shall (i) require the Servicer to maintain a Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and a Servicer Fidelity Bond in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02(l) of this Agreement, (ii) cause the Servicer to provide to the Master Servicer certificates evidencing that such policy and bond is in effect and to furnish to the Master Servicer any notice of cancellation, non-renewal or modification of the policy or bond received by it, as and to the extent provided in Section 4.02(l) of the Agreement, and (iii) furnish copies of such policies and of the certificates and notices referred to in clause (ii) to the Trustee upon request.

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

Section 5.03.Master Servicer’s Financial Statements and Related Information. For each year this Agreement is in effect, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, each Rating Agency and the Depositor a copy of its annual unaudited financial statements on or prior to May 31 of each year, beginning May 31, 2008. Such financial statements shall include a balance sheet, income statement, statement of retained earnings, statement of additional paid-in capital, statement of changes in financial position and all related notes and schedules and shall be in comparative form, certified by a nationally recognized firm of Independent Accountants to the effect that such statements were examined and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

Section 5.04. Power to Act; Procedures.

(a) The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of Article XI; provided that the Master Servicer shall not take, or knowingly permit the Servicer to take, any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust, the Trustee or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Trust, the Trustee and the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust, the Trustee and the Certificateholders in the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan and shall not make or knowingly permit any Servicer to make any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own name, and the Servicer, to the extent such authority is delegated to such Servicer under this Agreement, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Master Servicer or such Servicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself and the Certificateholders, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon request, with any powers of attorney (on the standard form used by the Trustee) empowering the Master Servicer or the Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents as the Master Servicer may request, necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, and to allow the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in each case in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices (and the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Servicer). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, then upon request of the Trustee, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 7.10 of this Agreement. In no event shall the Master Servicer, without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Master Servicer’s representative capacity or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and which actually does cause, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for any and all costs, liabilities and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the negligent or willful misuse of such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee.

(b) In master servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall employ procedures and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in master servicing and administering loans for its own account, giving due consideration to Accepted Servicing Practices where such practices do not conflict with this Agreement.

Section 5.05.Enforcement of Servicer’s and Master Servicer’s Obligations.

(a) The Master Servicer shall not be required to (i) take any action with respect to the servicing of any Mortgage Loan that the Servicer is not required to take under this Agreement and (ii) cause the Servicer to take any action or refrain from taking any action if this Agreement does not require the Servicer to take such action or refrain from taking such action.

(b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trust, the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of the Servicer hereunder, and shall, in the event that the Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance herewith, terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder and either act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or cause other parties hereto to either assume the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement (or agree to execute and deliver a successor servicing or subservicing agreement with a successor servicer). Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of servicing or subservicing rights 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, and shall be reimbursed therefor initially (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 Loans, (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed, and then, (iii) to the extent that such amounts are insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer for the costs of such enforcement, from the Collection Account.

Section 5.06. Collection Account.

(a) On the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall open and shall thereafter maintain a segregated account held in trust in the name of the Trustee (the “Collection Account”), entitled “Collection Account, U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, in trust for Holders of the HomeBanc Mortgage Trust 2007-1, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates.” The Collection Account shall relate solely to the Certificates issued pursuant to this Agreement, and funds deposited in the Collection Account shall not be commingled with any other monies.

(b) The Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account. If an existing Collection Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Master Servicer shall establish a new Collection Account that is an Eligible Account within ten (10) days and transfer all funds and investment property on deposit in such existing Collection Account into such new Collection Account.

(c) The Master Servicer shall give to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee prior written notice of the name and address of the depository institution at which the Collection Account is maintained and the account number of such Collection Account. The Master Servicer shall take such actions as are necessary to cause the depository institution holding the Collection Account to hold such account in the name of the Trustee. On each Distribution Date, the entire amount on deposit in the Collection Account relating to the Mortgage Loans (subject to permitted withdrawals set forth in Section 5.07), other than amounts not included in the Group I Available Distribution Amount, Group II Interest Funds or Group II Principal Funds to be paid to Certificateholders for such Distribution Date, shall be applied to make the requested payment of principal and/or interest on each Class of Certificates.

(d) The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account on the earlier of the applicable Distribution Date and one Business Day following receipt thereof, the following amounts received or payments made by the Master Servicer (other than in respect of principal of and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date):

(i) all remittances from the Custodial Account to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.03;

(ii) all Monthly Advances made by the Servicer or the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 6.11 hereof and any payment in respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls paid by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 5.16 hereof; and

(iii) the Purchase Price of any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Depositor or the Seller during the related Prepayment Period or any other Person and any Substitution Amount related to any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan.

(e) Funds in the Collection Account may be invested by the Master Servicer in Eligible Investments selected by and at the written direction of the Master Servicer, which shall mature not later than one Business Day prior to the next Distribution Date (or on the Distribution Date with respect to any Eligible Investment of the Master Servicer or any other fund managed or advised by it or any Affiliate) and any such Eligible Investment shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the Master Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. All income and gain net of the Trustee Fee, the Custodian Fee and any losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to time, subject to Section 5.07 and shall not be part of the Trust. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in such Collection Account by the Master Servicer out of its own funds, without any right of reimbursement therefor, immediately as realized. The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account are exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments of interest on funds in the Collection Account and payments in the nature of late payment charges, assumption fees and other incidental fees and charges relating to the Mortgage Loans need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account and may be retained by the Master Servicer or the Servicer, as applicable, as additional servicing compensation. If the Master Servicer deposits in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from such Collection Account.

Section 5.07.Application of Funds in the Collection Account. The Master Servicer shall withdraw funds from the Collection Account for payments to the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 6.07. In addition, the Master Servicer may prior to making the payments pursuant to Section 6.07 from time to time make withdrawals from the Collection Account for the following purposes:

(i) to pay to the Trustee, the Trustee Fee, to pay to the Custodian, the Custodian Fee and to pay the Delaware Trustee, the Delaware Trustee Fee, in each case on the Distribution Date each year in the month in which such Trustee Fee, Delaware Trustee Fee and the Custodian Fee, as applicable, are due and payable pursuant to the terms of the respective fee letter agreements with the Trustee, the Custodian and the Delaware Trustee, but only to the extent of income earned on the funds on deposit in the Collection Account;

(ii) to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Servicer, as applicable, for any previously unreimbursed Monthly Advances or Servicing Advances made by any such party, such right to reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on or in respect of a particular Mortgage Loan (including, for this purpose, Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and amounts representing Insurance Proceeds with respect to the property subject to the related Mortgage) which represent late recoveries (net of the applicable Servicing Fee) of payments of principal or interest respecting which any such Monthly Advance was made, it being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement, that the Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders;

(iii) to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Servicer following a final liquidation of a Mortgage Loan for any previously unreimbursed Monthly Advances made by any such party (A) that such party determines in good faith will not be recoverable from amounts representing late recoveries of payments of principal or interest respecting the particular Mortgage Loan as to which such Monthly Advance was made or from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan and/or (B) to the extent that such unreimbursed Monthly Advances exceed the related Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, it being understood, in the case of each such reimbursement, that the Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders;

(iv) to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Servicer from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds for Liquidation Expenses and for amounts expended by it pursuant to Section 4.02(n) in good faith in connection with the restoration of damaged property and, to the extent that Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds after such reimbursement exceed the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate less the Servicing Fee Rate for such Mortgage Loan to the Due Date next succeeding the date of its receipt of such Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, to pay to the Master Servicer or the Servicer out of such excess the amount of any unpaid assumption fees, late payment charges or other Mortgagor charges on the related Mortgage Loan and to retain any excess remaining thereafter as additional servicing compensation, it being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement or payment, that such Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders;

(v) to pay to the Depositor or the Seller or any other Person, as applicable, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or REO Property acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased pursuant to this Agreement, all amounts received thereon and not paid on the date on which the related repurchase was effected, and to pay to the applicable party any Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances to the extent specified in the definition of Purchase Price;

(vi) to the extent not paid by the Servicer, to pay any insurance premium with respect to a Mortgage Loan;

(vii) to pay to the Master Servicer income earned on the investment of funds on deposit in the Collection Account net of amounts paid to the Trustee, the Custodian and the Delaware Trustee in accordance with subsection (i) above;

(viii) to make payment to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the Delaware Trustee, the Trustee, the Custodian and others pursuant to any provision of any Operative Agreement;

(ix) to withdraw funds deposited in error in the Collection Account;

(x) to clear and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Article IX; and

(xi) to reimburse a successor master servicer (solely in its capacity as successor master servicer), for any fee or advance occasioned by a termination of the Master Servicer and the assumption of such duties by the Trustee as successor master servicer or a successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.01, in each case to the extent not reimbursed by the terminated Master Servicer, it being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement or payment, that the right of such successor master servicer or the Trustee thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders.

In connection with withdrawals pursuant to subclauses (ii) through (iv) above, the Master Servicer’s or the Servicer’s or such other Person’s entitlement thereto is limited to collections or other recoveries on the related Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall therefore keep and maintain a separate accounting for each Mortgage Loan for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account it maintains pursuant to such subclauses.

Section 5.08. Reports to Trustee and Certificateholders.

(a) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall make available to the Trustee and each Certificateholder a report setting forth the following information (on the basis of Mortgage Loan level information obtained from the Servicer):

(i) the aggregate amount of distributions to be made on such Distribution Date to the Holders of each Class of Certificates, to the extent applicable, allocable to principal on the Mortgage Loans, including Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds, stating separately the amount attributable to scheduled principal payments and unscheduled payments in the nature of principal;

(a) The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer upon the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default as set forth in Section 4.07; provided, however, that in the event of termination of the Servicer, the Master Servicer shall provide for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by a successor servicer as provided in Section 4.08.

The parties acknowledge that notwithstanding the preceding sentence, there may be a transition period, not to exceed 90 days, in order to effect the transfer of servicing to a successor servicer. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Servicer (or by the Trust, if the Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing, including without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data, as may be required by the Master Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Master Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively.

(b) If the Master Servicer acts as a successor Servicer, it shall not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer that it replaces. The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have a successor Servicer assume liability for the representations and warranties made by the terminated Servicer and in the event of any such assumption by the successor servicer, the Master Servicer may, in the exercise of its business judgment, release the terminated Servicer from liability for such representations and warranties.

104

(c) If the Master Servicer acts as a successor Servicer, it will have no obligation to make a Monthly Advance if it determines in its reasonable judgment that such Monthly Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

Section 5.10.Master Servicer Liable for Enforcement. The Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Mortgage Loans are serviced in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the provisions of Article IV for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Servicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Master Servicer shall have no liability for the acts or omissions of the Servicer in the performance by such Servicer of its obligations under Article IV.

Section 5.11. Assumption of Master Servicing by Trustee.

(a) In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Master Servicer Event of Default under Section 9.01 of this Agreement), the Trustee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of such Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee, its designee or any successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest herein, except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations of the Master Servicer accruing prior to its replacement as Master Servicer, and shall be liable to the Trustee, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee from and against all costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee as a result of such liability or obligations of the Master Servicer and in connection with the Trustee’s assumption (but not its performance, except to the extent that costs or liability of the Trustee are created or increased as a result of negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of the Master Servicer prior to its replacement as Master Servicer) of the Master Servicer’s obligations, duties or responsibilities thereunder.

(b) The Master Servicer that has been terminated shall, upon request of the Trustee but at the expense of such Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to the Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of master servicing to the assuming party.

Section 5.12. Release of Mortgage Files.

(a) Upon (i) becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been or will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee (or the Custodian) by a certification (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment that are required to be deposited in the Collection Account maintained by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 5.06 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall deliver a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit Seven to the Custodial Agreement to the Trustee or the Custodian with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon receipt of such certification and Request for Release, the Trustee or the Custodian (with the consent, and at the direction of the Trustee), shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, the Servicer is authorized, to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Collection Account.

105

(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any Primary Insurance Policy, the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Trustee by the Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Trustee or the Custodian, shall, upon request of the Master Servicer or of the Servicer, as applicable, and delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, of a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer, release the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the Master Servicer (or the Servicer, as applicable). Such trust receipt shall obligate the Master Servicer or the Servicer, as applicable, to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, when the need therefor by the Master Servicer or the Servicer, as applicable, no longer exists unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection Account or (ii) 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 Servicer has delivered to the Custodian 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.

(c) At any time that the Servicer is required to deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release, the Servicer shall deliver two copies of the Request for Release if delivered in hard copy or the Servicer may furnish such Request for Release electronically to the Custodian, in which event the Servicing Officer transmitting the same shall be deemed to have signed the Request for Release. In connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage File because of a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan, such Request for Release shall, if required, be followed by an assignment of mortgage, without recourse, representation or warranty from the Trustee to the Seller and the related Mortgage Note shall be endorsed either in blank or without recourse by the Trustee and be returned to the Seller. In connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage File because of the payment in full of a Mortgage Loan, such Request for Release shall, if required, be accompanied by a certificate of satisfaction or other similar instrument to be executed by or on behalf of the Trustee and returned to the Servicer.

In fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such information.

(b) All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer or the Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held by the Master Servicer or by the Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee as the Trustee’s agent and bailee for purposes of perfecting the Trustee’s security interest therein as provided by relevant Uniform Commercial Code or laws; provided, however, that the Master Servicer and the Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer or the Servicer under this Agreement and shall be authorized to remit such funds to the Securities Administrator in accordance with this Agreement.

(c) The Servicer and the Master Servicer each hereby acknowledges that concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Trustee shall own or, to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Depositor not to constitute a sale, the Trustee shall have a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and in all Mortgage Files representing such Mortgage Loans and in all funds and investment property now or hereafter held by, or under the control of, the Servicer or the Master Servicer that are collected by the Servicer or the Master Servicer in connection with the Mortgage Loans, whether as scheduled installments of principal and interest or as full or partial prepayments of principal or interest or as Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or otherwise, and in all proceeds of the foregoing and proceeds of proceeds (but excluding any fee or other amounts to which the Servicer or the Master Servicer is entitled to hereunder); and the Servicer and the Master Servicer each agrees that so long as the Mortgage Loans are assigned to and held by the Trustee or the Custodian, all documents or instruments constituting part of the Mortgage Files, and such funds relating to the Mortgage Loans which come into the possession or custody of, or which are subject to the control of, the Master Servicer or the Servicer shall be held by the Master Servicer or the Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee as the Trustee’s agent and bailee for purposes of perfecting the Trustee’s security interest therein as provided by the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable laws.

107

(d) The Master Servicer agrees that it shall not, and shall not authorize the Servicer to, create, incur or subject any Mortgage Loans, or any funds that are deposited in any Custodial Account, Escrow Account or the Collection Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to or for the benefit of the Trustee, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, nor assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage Loan or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan.

The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver or cause the Servicer to deliver to the Trustee (or the Custodian), upon the execution or receipt thereof the originals of the primary mortgage insurance policies and any certificates of renewal thereof, and such other documents or instruments that constitute portions of the Mortgage File that come into the possession of the Master Servicer or the Servicer from time to time.

Section 5.16.Compensation to the Master Servicer. Pursuant to Sections 5.06(e) and 6.07(f)(ii), all income and gain realized from any investment of funds in the Collection Account and the Certificate Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as compensation net of the sum of the Trustee Fee and the Custodian Fee payable by the Master Servicer to the Trustee and the Custodian, respectively, on behalf of the Trust, as provided in Section 5.07. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account, on or before the related Distribution Date, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) its master servicing compensation with respect to such Distribution Date and (ii) the amount of any Compensating Interest Payment required to be paid by the Servicer with respect to such Distribution Date pursuant to this Agreement, but which is not paid by the Servicer on its behalf.

Section 5.18.Resignation of Master Servicer. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5.17 and this Section 5.18 hereof, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it unless it determines that the Master Servicer’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it and cannot be cured. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel that shall be Independent to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee shall have assumed, or a successor master servicer shall have been appointed by the Trustee and until such successor shall have assumed, the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. Notice of such resignation shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer and the Depositor to the Trustee.

In no case, however, shall any such delegation, subcontracting or assignment to an Affiliate of the Master Servicer relieve the Master Servicer of any liability hereunder. Notice of such permitted assignment shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer to the Depositor and the Trustee. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master servicer, the entire amount of compensation payable to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto, including amounts payable to or permitted to be retained or withdrawn by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 5.16 hereof, shall thereafter be payable to such successor master servicer.

(a) The Master Servicer undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.

109

(b) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Master Servicer from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that the duties and obligations of the Master Servicer shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer 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 Master Servicer and, in absence of bad faith on the part of the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer 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 Master Servicer and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement.

(c) Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trustee 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 Master Servicer or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in its performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer shall be entitled to indemnification by the Trust and will be held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement, the Certificates or any other Operative Agreement other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of his or its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of his or its obligations and duties hereunder. The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of 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 Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties to master service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection Account it maintains as provided by Section 5.07.

Section 5.21.Indemnification; Third Party Claims. The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Depositor, the Trust, the Delaware Trustee, the Trustee and the Servicer and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that the Depositor, the Trust, the Delaware Trustee, the Trustee or the Servicer may sustain as a result of the failure of the Master Servicer to perform its duties and master service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Depositor, the Trust, the Delaware Trustee, the Trustee and the Servicer shall immediately notify the Master Servicer if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans entitling the Depositor, the Trust, the Delaware Trustee, the Trustee or the Servicer to indemnification under this Section 5.21, whereupon the Master Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. The failure to provide such immediate notice shall not affect the Master Servicer’s obligation pursuant to this Section 5.21 to indemnify the Depositor, the Trust, the Delaware Trustee, the Trustee and the Servicer, except to the extent that the Master Servicer is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify.

110

Section 5.22.Alternative Index.

Section 5.23.Transfer of Servicing. The Servicer agrees that it shall provide written notice to the Master Servicer and the Trustee thirty days prior to any proposed transfer or assignment by the Servicer of the servicing of the Mortgage Loans.

(iv) At the time of the transfer, there must be delivered to the Trustee a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such transfer of servicing will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of any of the Certificates; and

(v) The Seller shall, at its cost and expense, take such steps, or cause the terminated Servicer to take such steps, as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and evidence the transfer of the servicing of the Mortgage Loans to such successor servicer, including, but not limited to, the following: (A) to the extent required by the terms of the Mortgage Loans and by applicable federal and state laws and regulations, the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to timely mail to each obligor under a Mortgage Loan any required notices or disclosures describing the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to the successor servicer; (B) prior to the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to transmit to any related insurer notification of such transfer of servicing; (C) on or prior to the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to deliver to the successor servicer all Mortgage Loan Documents and any related records or materials; (D) on or prior to the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to transfer to the successor servicer, or, if such transfer occurs after a Servicer Remittance Date but before the next succeeding Distribution Date, to the Securities Administrator, all funds held by the prior Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans; (E) on or prior to the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to, after the effective date of the transfer of servicing to the successor servicer, continue to forward to such successor servicer, within one Business Day of receipt, the amount of any payments or other recoveries received by the prior Servicer, and to notify the successor servicer of the source and proper application of each such payment or recovery; and (F) the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to, after the effective date of transfer of servicing to the successor servicer, continue to cooperate with the successor servicer to facilitate such transfer in such manner and to such extent as the successor servicer may reasonably request.

Section 5.25. REO Property.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall not permit the Servicer to, rent, lease, or otherwise earn income on behalf of any REMIC with respect to any REO Property which might cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure” property within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any REMIC of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of section 860F(a)(2) of the Code or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions unless the Master Servicer has advised, or has caused the Servicer to advise, the Trustee in writing to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions, such action would not adversely affect the status of any REMIC as a REMIC and any income generated for any REMIC by the REO Property would not result in the imposition of a tax upon such REMIC.

(b) The Master Servicer shall make, or shall cause the applicable Servicer to make, reasonable efforts to sell any REO Property for its fair market value. In any event, however, the Master Servicer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, dispose of any REO Property within three years from the end of the calendar year of its acquisition by the Trust unless the Trustee has received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation and under applicable state law, the REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer period without adversely affecting the REMIC status of such REMIC or causing the imposition of a federal or state tax upon such REMIC. If the Trustee has received such an extension, then (a) the Trustee shall provide a copy of such extension to the Master Servicer and (b) the Trustee, or the Master Servicer, acting on its behalf hereunder, shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for its fair market value for such period longer than three years as such extension permits (the “Extended Period”). If the Trustee has not received such an extension and the Trustee, or the Master Servicer acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, or the Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within 33 months after its acquisition by the Trust or if the Trustee has received such an extension, and the Trustee, or the Master Servicer acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of the Extended Period, the Master Servicer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, before the end of the three year period or the Extended Period, as applicable, (i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property’s fair market value or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Master Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to the expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case may be.

ARTICLE VI

THE CERTIFICATES; DEPOSITS AND

DISTRIBUTIONS TO HOLDERS OF CERTIFICATES

Section 6.01.

The Certificates.

The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached as Exhibit A hereto. The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the minimum denominations per Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement and, to the extent applicable, in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof.

Subject to Section 10.03 hereof respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Securities Administrator shall make distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by wire transfer in immediately Group I Available Funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such Holder has so notified the Securities Administrator not later than the applicable Record Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold (A) 100% of the Class Principal Amount of any Class of Certificates or (B) Certificates of any Class with aggregate principal denominations of not less than $1,000,000 or (y) by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register.

The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Securities Administrator by an authorized signatory of the Securities Administrator. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Securities Administrator shall bind the Securities Administrator, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the countersignature and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless countersigned by the Securities Administrator by manual signature, and such countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their countersignature. On the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall countersign the Certificates to be issued at the direction of the Depositor, or any Affiliate thereof.

113

The Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Securities Administrator on a continuous basis, an adequate inventory of specimen Certificates to facilitate transfers.

Section 6.02. Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a) The Securities Administrator shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, a Certificate Register for the Trust in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Securities Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.

At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Securities Administrator. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 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 Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but 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 may be required.

All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the Securities Administrator’s customary procedures.

(b) No Person shall transfer a Restricted Certificate unless such transfer (i) is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, (ii) is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws and (iii) is made in compliance with the provisions of this Section. 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 surrounding the transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit B-1 (the “Transferor Certificate”) and deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit B-2 (the “Investment Letter”) or Exhibit B-3 (the “Rule 144A Letter”). The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Restricted Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. 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 Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust as the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Restricted Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer 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.

114

No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Securities Administrator shall have received either (A) a representation from the transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator (substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4, or in the event such ERISA-Restricted Certificate is a Residual Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-6), to the effect that (i) such transferee is neither a Plan nor a person acting for, on behalf of, or with the assets of, any such Plan to effect such transfer, (ii) in the case of the Class I-1X, Class I-2A-2, Class I-2X, Class I-3A-2, Class I-3X, Class I-B-1, Class I-B-2, Class I-B-3, Class II-M-1, Class II-M-2, or Class II-B Certificates, a representation that such Certificates have become the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting and are rated at least “BBB-” or “Ba3” at the time of their acquisition or (iii) if the ERISA-Restricted Certificate, other than a Certificate listed in clause (ii) above, has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section (V)(e) of prohibited transaction class exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and the purchase and holding of ERISA-Restricted Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60; or (B) in the case of any such ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of a Plan or a person acting for, on behalf of, or with the assets of, a Plan, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of any of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller or the Trust, addressed to the Securities Administrator to the effect that the purchase and holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Seller to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement. For purposes of the preceding sentence, with respect to an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a Residual Certificate, in the event the representation letter referred to in the preceding sentence is not so furnished, such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the Securities Administrator by the transferee’s (including an initial acquirer’s) acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Securities Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel or representation letter satisfactory to the Securities Administrator as described above shall be void and of no effect.

115

To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 6.02(b) or for making any payments due on such 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 transfer was registered by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the foregoing requirements.

(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any ownership interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such ownership interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each Person acquiring any ownership interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any ownership interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee.

(ii) No ownership interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred (except for an initial registration on the Closing Date of the transfer to the Depositor (or an Affiliate thereof), the Trustee or the Securities Administrator), and the Securities Administrator shall not register the transfer of any Residual Certificate (except for an initial registration on the Closing Date of the transfer to the Depositor (or an Affiliate thereof), the Trustee or the Securities Administrator) unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the Securities Administrator under subparagraph (b) above, the Securities Administrator shall have been furnished with an affidavit of the Holder desiring to effect such transfer (a “Transferor Affidavit”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-5 and an affidavit of the proposed transferee (a “Transferee Affidavit”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-6.

(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any ownership interest in a Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transferee Affidavit from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its ownership interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transferee Affidavit from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C) not to transfer its ownership interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the transfer of an ownership interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee.

(iv) Any attempted or purported transfer of any ownership interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 6.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 6.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 6.02(b) and this Section 6.02(c) or for making any payments due on such 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 transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transferee Affidavit, Transferor Affidavit and either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Securities Administrator to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.

116

(v) The Depositor shall promptly make available, upon receipt of written request from the Securities Administrator, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a transfer of an ownership interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee.

The restrictions on transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this Section 6.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to transfers occurring after delivery to the Securities Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Each Person holding or acquiring any ownership interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Securities Administrator is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the transfer of a Residual Certificate which is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.

(d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above in this Section 6.02(d) in connection with transfer shall be at the expense of the parties to such transfers.

(e) Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the Securities Administrator except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Securities Administrator shall deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Securities Administrator may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and Persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.

117

All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures.

If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Securities Administrator in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Securities Administrator or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, or (y) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing at least 51% of the Certificate Principal Amount of the Book-Entry Certificates together advise the Securities Administrator and the Depository through the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for registration, the Securities Administrator shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. The Depositor shall provide the Securities Administrator with an adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Securities Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Securities Administrator shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided that the Securities Administrator shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the Depository.

Section 6.03.

Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Securities Administrator, or the Securities Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Securities Administrator that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall execute, countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 6.03, the Securities Administrator may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Securities Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

118

The Securities Administrator and any agent of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Securities Administrator nor any agent of the Securities Administrator shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(e) No Group I Accrued Certificate Interest will be payable with respect to any Class of Group I Certificates after the Distribution Date on which the Class Principal Amount of such Certificate has been reduced to zero.

(f) If on any Distribution Date the related Group I Available Funds for a Loan Group is less than the Group I Accrued Interest on the related Senior Certificates for such Distribution Date prior to reduction for Group I Net Interest Shortfalls and the interest portion of Realized Losses, the shortfall will be allocated among the holders of each Class of Senior Certificates in such Certificate Group in proportion to the respective amounts of Group I Accrued Interest that would have been allocated thereto in the absence of such Group I Net Interest Shortfalls and/or Realized Losses for such Distribution Date. In addition, the amount of any interest shortfalls will constitute unpaid Group I Accrued Interest and will be distributable to holders of the Certificates of the related Classes entitled to such amounts on subsequent Distribution Dates, to the extent of the applicable Group I Available Funds after current interest distributions as required herein. Any such amounts so carried forward will not bear interest. Shortfalls in interest payments will not be offset by a reduction in the servicing compensation of the Servicer and the Master Servicer or otherwise, except to the extent of applicable Compensating Interest Payments.

(g) On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall pay the Group II Interest Funds for such date, from funds in the Certificate Account, as follows in accordance with the report of the Securities Administrator:

(i) to the Class II-A Certificates, in an amount equal to Group II Current Interest and any Group II Carryforward Interest for such class for such Distribution Date;

(ii) to the Class II-M-1, Class II-M-2 and Class II-B Certificates, sequentially, in that order, in an amount equal to any Group II Current Interest and any Group II Carryforward Interest for each such class for such Distribution Date;

(iii) for application as part of Group II Monthly Excess Interest for such Distribution Date, as provided in subsection (i) of this Section, any Group II Interest Funds remaining after application pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above;

(h) On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall pay the Group II Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date from funds in the Certificate Account as follows:

124

(2) to the Class II-M-1, Class II-M-2 and Class II-B Certificates, sequentially, in that order, in reduction of their respective Class Principal Amounts, until the Class Principal Amount of each such class has been reduced to zero; and

(3) for application as part of Group II Monthly Excess Cashflow for such Distribution Date, as provided in subsection (i) of this Section, any Principal Payment Amount remaining after application pursuant to clauses (1) and (2) above.

(ii) On each Distribution Date (a) on or after the Group II Stepdown Date and (b) with respect to which a Group II Trigger Event is not in effect, in the following order of priority:

(1) to the Class II-A Certificates, an amount equal to the Class II-A Principal Distribution Amount, in reduction of their Class Principal Amount, until the Class Principal Amount of such class has been reduced to zero;

(2) to the Class II-M-1 Certificates, an amount equal to the Class II-M-1 Principal Distribution Amount, in reduction of their Class Principal Amount, until the Class Principal Amount of such class has been reduced to zero;

(3) to the Class II-M-2 Certificates, an amount equal to the Class II-M-2 Principal Distribution Amount, in reduction of their Class Principal Amount, until the Class Principal Amount of such class has been reduced to zero;

(i) On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall pay the Group II Monthly Excess Cashflow for such date from funds in the Certificate Account in accordance with the report of the Securities Administrator, in the following order of priority:

(i) to the holders of the class or classes of Group II Certificates then entitled to receive distributions in respect of principal, in an amount equal to the Group II Extra Principal Distribution Amount, distributable as part of the Group II Principal Distribution Amount for each such class and such Distribution Date;

(ii) to the Class II-A, Class II-M-1, Class II-M-2 and Class II-B Certificates, sequentially, in that order, in an amount equal to the Group II Deferred Amount for each such class and such Distribution Date;

125

(iii) to the Class II-A, Class II-M-1, Class II-M-2 and Class II-B Certificates, sequentially, in that order, in an amount equal to any Group II Basis Risk Carryover Amount for each such class and such Distribution Date; and

(iv) to the Class II-X Certificates, the Class II-X Distributable Amount.

(v) to the Class R Certificate, any remaining amount.

Section 6.09. Allocation of Losses.

(a) On or prior to each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the amount of any Realized Loss in respect of each Pool I Mortgage Loan that occurred during the immediately preceding calendar month, based on information provided by the Servicer.

(b) With respect to any Group I Certificates on any Distribution Date, the principal portion of each Realized Loss on a Pool I Mortgage Loan shall be allocated as follows:

first, to the Class I-B-6 Certificates until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

second, to the Class I-B-5 Certificates until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

third, to the Class I-B-4 Certificates until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

fourth, to the Class I-B-3 Certificates until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

fifth, to the Class I-B-2 Certificates until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

sixth, to the Class I-B-1 Certificates until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; and

seventh, if such loss is on (a) a Pool I Mortgage Loan in Loan Group I-1, to the Class I-1A-1 Certificates and Class I-1A-2 Certificates until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; provided, however, any such Realized Losses otherwise allocable to the Class I-1A-1 Certificates will be first allocated to the Class I-1A-2 Certificates, until the Class Principal Amount of the Class I-1A-2 Certificates has been reduced to zero, and then to the Class I-1A-1 Certificates; (b) a Pool I Mortgage Loan in Loan Group I-2, to the Class I-2A-1 Certificates and Class I-2A-2 Certificates until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; provided, however, any such Realized Losses otherwise allocable to the Class I-2A-1 Certificates will be first allocated to the Class I-2A-2 Certificates, until the Class Principal Amount of the Class I-2A-2 Certificates has been reduced to zero, and then to the Class I-2A-1 Certificates; and (c) a Pool I Mortgage Loan in Loan Group I-3, to the Class I-3A-1 Certificates and Class I-3A-2 Certificates until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; provided, however, any such Realized Losses otherwise allocable to the Class I-3A-1 Certificates will be first allocated to the Class I-3A-2 Certificates, until the Class Principal Amount of the Class I-3A-2 Certificates has been reduced to zero, and then to the Class I-3A-1 Certificates.

126

(c) Once the Class Principal Amounts of the Group I Senior Certificates of a Certificate Group have been reduced to zero, the principal portion of Realized Losses on the Pool I Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group (if any) shall be allocated on a pro rata basis to the remaining Group I Senior Certificates of the other Certificate Groups.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (b), no such allocation of any Realized Loss shall be made on a Distribution Date to any Class of Certificates to the extent that such allocation would result in the reduction of the aggregate Class Principal Amount of all the Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) as of such Distribution Date, after giving effect to all distributions and prior allocations of Realized Losses on the Pool I Mortgage Loans on such date, to an amount less than the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of all of the Pool I Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group as of the first day of the month of such Distribution Date (such limitation, the “Group I Loss Allocation Limitation”).

(e) Any Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Certificates shall be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion to their respective Class Principal Amounts. Any allocation of Realized Losses shall be accomplished by reducing the Class Principal Amount of the related Certificates on the related Distribution Date.

(f) Realized Losses shall be allocated on the Distribution Date in the month following the month in which such loss was incurred and, in the case of the principal portion thereof, after giving effect to distributions made on such Distribution Date.

(g) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall determine and notify the Paying Agent of the Group I Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount. Any Group I Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount shall effect a corresponding reduction in the Class Principal Amount of (i) if prior to the Group I Cross-Over Date, the Class Principal Amounts of the Group I Subordinate Certificates, in the reverse order of their numerical Class designations and (ii) from and after the Group I Cross-Over Date, the Group I Senior Certificates, in accordance with priorities set forth in clause (b) above, which reduction shall occur on such Distribution Date after giving effect to distributions made on such Distribution Date.

(h) Any Group I Net Interest Shortfall will be allocated among the Classes of Group I Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates) in proportion to the respective amounts of Group I Accrued Interest that would have been allocated thereto in the absence of such Group I Net Interest Shortfall for such Distribution Date. The interest portion of any Realized Losses with respect to the Pool I Mortgage Loans occurring on or prior to the Group I Cross-Over Date will not be allocated among any Certificates, but will reduce the amount of Group I Available Funds on the related Distribution Date. As a result of the subordination of the Group I Subordinate Certificates in right of distribution, such Realized Losses on the Pool I Mortgage Loans will be borne by the Group I Subordinate Certificates, in inverse order of their numerical Class designations. Following the Group I Cross-Over Date, the interest portion of Realized Losses on the Pool I Mortgage Loans will be allocated to the Group I Senior Certificates in the manner described in the first sentence of this clause (h).

127

(i) On each Distribution Date, the Class Principal Amounts of the Group II Certificates shall be reduced by the amount of any Group II Applied Loss Amount for such date, in the following order of priority:

(i) to the Class II-B Certificates, until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

(ii) to the Class II-M-2 Certificates, until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

(iii) to the Class II-M-1 Certificates, until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; and

(iv) to the Class II-A Certificates, until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero.

(j) In addition, in the event that the Master Servicer receives any Subsequent Recoveries from the Servicer, the Master Servicer shall deposit such funds into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.06. If, after taking into account such Subsequent Recoveries, the amount of a Realized Loss is reduced, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries from the related Mortgage Pool will be applied to increase the Class Principal Amount of the Class of Subordinate Certificates relating to such Mortgage Pool 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 Subordinate Certificates pursuant to this Section 6.09. The amount of any remaining Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to sequentially increase the Class Principal Amount of the Subordinate Certificates, beginning with the Class of Subordinate Certificates with the next highest payment priority, up to the amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to such Class of Certificates pursuant to this Section 6.09. Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any payment in respect of current interest on the amount of such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase occurs.

Section 6.10.Control of the Trust Accounts.

(a) The Depositor and the Trustee hereby appoint the Securities Administrator as Securities Intermediary with respect to the Trust Accounts, and the Trustee shall hold, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, a security interest to secure all amounts due Certificateholders hereunder in and to the Trust Accounts and the Security Entitlements to all Financial Assets credited to the Trust Accounts, including without limitation all amounts, securities, investments, Financial Assets, investment property and other property from time to time deposited in or credited to the Trust Accounts and all proceeds thereof. Amounts held from time to time in the Trust Accounts will continue to be held by the Securities Intermediary for the benefit of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Upon the termination of the Trust, the Trustee shall inform the Securities Intermediary of such termination. By acceptance of their Certificates or interests therein, the Certificateholders shall be deemed to have appointed the Securities Administrator as Securities Intermediary. The Securities Administrator hereby accepts such appointment as Securities Intermediary.

128

(b) With respect to the Trust Account Property credited to the Trust Accounts, the Securities Intermediary agrees that:

(i) with respect to any Trust Account Property that is held in deposit accounts, each such deposit account shall be subject to the exclusive custody and control of the Securities Intermediary, and the Securities Intermediary shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto;

(ii) the sole assets permitted in each Trust Account shall be those as the Securities Intermediary agrees to treat as Financial Assets; and

(iii) any such Trust Account Property that is, or is treated as, a Financial Asset shall be physically delivered (accompanied by any required endorsements) to, or credited to an account in the name of, the Securities Intermediary or other eligible institution maintaining each Trust Account in accordance with the Securities Intermediary’s customary procedures such that the Securities Intermediary or such other institution establishes a Security Entitlement in favor of the Trustee with respect thereto over which the Securities Intermediary or such other institution has Control;

(c) The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms that (A) each Trust Account is an account to which Financial Assets are or may be credited, and the Securities Intermediary shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, treat the Trustee as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any Financial Asset credited to each Trust Account, (B) all Trust Account Property in respect of each Trust Account will be promptly credited by the Securities Intermediary to such account, and (C) all securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to each Trust Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case will any Financial Asset credited to any Trust Account be registered in the name of the Depositor or the Trust, payable to the order of the Depositor or the Trust or specially endorsed to the Depositor or the Trust, except to the extent the foregoing have been specially endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank;

(d) The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that each item of property (whether investment property, Financial Asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to each Trust Account shall be treated as a Financial Asset;

(e) If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive an Entitlement Order from the Trustee (or the Securities Administrator on its behalf) directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to any Trust Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such Entitlement Order without further consent by the Depositor, the Trust or any other Person. If at any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator notifies the Securities Intermediary in writing that the Trust has been terminated in accordance herewith, then thereafter if the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order from the Depositor or the Trust directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to any Trust Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such Entitlement Order without further consent by the Trustee or any other Person;

129

(f) In the event that the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security interest in a Trust Account or any Financial Asset credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Trustee. The Financial Assets credited to each Trust Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person other than the Trustee (except that the Securities Intermediary may set-off (i) all amounts due to it in respect of its customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of a Trust Account and (ii) the face amount of any checks which have been credited to a Trust Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds);

(g) There are no other agreements entered into between the Securities Intermediary in such capacity and the Depositor or the Trust with respect to the Trust Accounts. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any provision of this Agreement) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail;

(h) The rights and powers granted herein to the Trustee have been granted in order to perfect its security interest in each Trust Account and the Security Entitlements to the Financial Assets credited thereto, and are powers coupled with an interest and will neither be affected by the bankruptcy of the Depositor or the Trust nor by the lapse of time. The obligations of the Securities Intermediary hereunder shall continue in effect until the security interest of the Trustee in the Trust Accounts, and in such Security Entitlements, has been terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Trustee has notified the Securities Intermediary of such termination in writing; and

(i) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the Depositor and the Trustee agree that each Trust Account will be established only with the Securities Intermediary or another institution meeting the requirements of this Section, which by acceptance of its appointment as Securities Intermediary agrees substantially as follows: (1) it will comply with Entitlement Orders related to each Trust Account issued by the Trustee without further consent by the Depositor; (2) until termination of the Trust, it will not enter into any other agreement related to such accounts pursuant to which it agrees to comply with Entitlement Orders of any Person other than the Trustee, as collateral agent, or the Securities Administrator on its behalf; and (3) all assets delivered or credited to it in connection with such account and all investments thereof will be promptly credited to the applicable account.

(j) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositor shall have the power, revocable by the Trustee, to instruct the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer to make withdrawals and payments from each Trust Account for the purpose of permitting the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator to carry out its respective duties hereunder or permitting the Trustee to carry out its duties under this Agreement.

130

(k) Each of the Depositor and the Trustee agrees to take or cause to be taken such further actions, to execute, deliver and file or cause to be executed, delivered and filed such further documents and instruments (including, without limitation, any financing statements under the Relevant UCC or this Agreement) as may be necessary to perfect the interests created by this Section in favor of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and otherwise fully to effectuate the purposes, terms and conditions of this Section. The Depositor shall:

(i) promptly execute, deliver and file any financing statements, amendments, continuation statements, assignments, certificates and other documents with respect to such interests and perform all such other acts as may be necessary in order to perfect or to maintain the perfection of the Trust’s and the Trustee’s security interest in the Trust Account Property; and

(ii) make the necessary filings of financing statements or amendments thereto within five days after the occurrence of any of the following: (1) any change in its corporate name or any trade name or its jurisdiction of organization; (2) any change in the location of its chief executive office or principal place of business; and (3) any merger or consolidation or other change in its identity or corporate structure and promptly notify the Trust and the Trustee of any such filings.

(iii) Neither the Depositor nor the Trust shall organize under the law of any jurisdiction other than the state under which each is organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing under an additional jurisdiction) without giving thirty (30) days prior written notice of such action to its immediate and mediate transferee, including the Trustee. Before effecting such change, each of the Depositor or the Trust proposing to change its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and file in the appropriate filing office any financing statements or other statements necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its immediate and mediate transferees, including the Trustee, in the Trust Account Property. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements relating to the Trust Account Property, each of the Depositor and the Trust authorizes its immediate or mediate transferee to file in any filing office any initial financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation statements, or any other statements or filings described in this Section 6.10.

None of the Securities Intermediary or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Securities Intermediary shall be under any liability to the Trustee or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or not taken, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Securities Intermediary against any liability to the Trustee or the Certificateholders which would otherwise be imposed by reason of the Securities Intermediary’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder. The Securities Intermediary and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Securities Intermediary may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Securities Intermediary shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of such document. The Trust shall indemnify the Securities Intermediary for and hold it harmless against any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and carrying out its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability, except in those cases where the Securities Intermediary has been guilty of bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct. The foregoing indemnification shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Securities Intermediary.

131

Section 6.11.Monthly Advances by Master Servicer and Servicer.

(a) Subject to Section 4.03(c), Monthly Advances shall be made in respect of each Servicer Remittance Date as provided herein. If, on any Determination Date, the Servicer determines that any Monthly Payments due during the related Collection Period have not been received, such Servicer shall advance such amount to the extent provided in Section 4.03(c) hereof. If any Servicer fails to remit Monthly Advances required to be made under Section 4.03(c) hereof, the Master Servicer shall itself make, or shall cause the successor Servicer to make, such Monthly Advance on the Servicer Remittance Date immediately following such Determination Date. If the Master Servicer determines that a Monthly Advance is required, it shall on the Business Day immediately prior to the related Distribution Date deposit in the Collection Account (from its own funds or funds advanced by the Servicer) immediately Group I Available Funds in an amount equal to such Monthly Advance. The Master Servicer and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account, and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Custodial Account, for all Monthly Advances made by it as provided in Section 4.02(e). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that a Monthly Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to make such Monthly Advance.

(b) In the event that the Master Servicer or Servicer fails for any reason to make a Monthly Advance required to be made pursuant to this Section 6.11, the Trustee, as successor Master Servicer, shall, on or before the related Distribution Date, deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the excess of (a) Monthly Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer or the Servicer that would have been deposited in such Collection Account over (b) the amount of any Monthly Advance made by the Master Servicer or the Servicer with respect to such Distribution Date; provided, however, that the Trustee as successor Master Servicer shall be required to make such Monthly Advance only if it is not prohibited by law from doing so and it has determined that such Monthly Advance would be recoverable from amounts to be received with respect to such Mortgage Loan, including late payments, Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, or otherwise. The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account for Monthly Advances made by it pursuant to this Section 6.11 as if it were the Master Servicer and shall be entitled to receive all compensation and fees of the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 9.01(b).

The indemnification of this subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Securities Administrator.

If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (x) of this Section 9.01 shall occur, then, in each and every case, subject to applicable law, so long as any such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied within any period of time prescribed by this Section 9.01, the Trustee, upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer may, and shall, if so directed by the Majority Certificateholders, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clause (xi) of this Section 9.01 shall occur, then, in each and every case, subject to applicable law, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied within the time period prescribed by clause (xi) of this Section 9.01, the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, shall promptly terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer, and only in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under the terms of this Agreement; and the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the defaulting 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. The defaulting Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the defaulting Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder as Master Servicer including, without limitation, notifying the Servicer of the assignment of the master servicing function and providing the Trustee or its designee all documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable the Trustee or its designee to assume the defaulting Master Servicer’s functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee for administration by it of all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the defaulting Master Servicer in the Collection Account maintained by such defaulting Master Servicer and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer being terminated shall bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of a master servicing transfer, including but not limited to those of the Trustee, legal fees and expenses, accounting and financial consulting fees and expenses, and costs of amending the Agreement, if necessary.

152

The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Master Servicer (or by the Trust, if the Master Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor Master Servicer, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee to master service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively. If the terminated Master Servicer does not pay such reimbursement within thirty (30) days of its receipt of an invoice therefore, such reimbursement shall be an expense of the Trust and the Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw such reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.07(viii); provided that the terminated Master Servicer shall reimburse the Trust for any such expense incurred by the Trust; and provided, further, that the Trustee shall take such action, if any, as provided in this Agreement and as directed by the Certificateholders pursuant thereto with respect to pursuing any remedy against any party obligated to make such reimbursement.

Notwithstanding the termination of its activities as Master Servicer, each terminated Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to reimbursement to the extent provided in Section 5.07 to the extent such reimbursement relates to the period prior to such Master Servicer’s termination.

153

If any Master Servicer Event of Default shall occur, of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustee shall promptly notify each Rating Agency of the nature and extent of such Master Servicer Event of Default. The Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer shall immediately give written notice by facsimile to the Trustee upon the Master Servicer’s failure to remit Monthly Advances on the date specified herein.

(b) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination from the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.01(a) or the Trustee receives the resignation of the Master Servicer evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 5.18, the Trustee, unless another master servicer shall have been appointed, shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as such under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to make Monthly Advances; provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer’s failure to provide information required by this Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. In addition, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for any act or omission of the Master Servicer prior to the issuance of any notice of termination and shall have no liability relating to the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 5.01. In the Trustee’s capacity as such successor, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability herein granted to the Master Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive all compensation payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to continue to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution servicer, master servicer, servicing or mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and meeting such other standards for a successor master servicer as are set forth in this Agreement, as the successor to such Master Servicer in the assumption of all of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a master servicer, like the Master Servicer. Such successor Master Servicer may be an Affiliate of the Trustee; provided, however, that, unless such Affiliate meets the net worth requirements and other standards set forth herein for a successor master servicer, the Trustee, in its individual capacity shall agree, at the time of such designation, to be and remain liable to the Trust and the Trustee for such Affiliate’s actions and omissions in performing its duties hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such actions, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession and may make other arrangements with respect to the servicing to be conducted hereunder which are not inconsistent herewith. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and any successor master servicer in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder including, without limitation, notifying the Servicer of the assignment of the master servicing functions and providing the Trustee and successor master servicer, as applicable, all documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee or such successor master servicer, as applicable, all amounts or investment property which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any payment hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, (ii) the failure of the Master Servicer to cooperate as required by this Agreement, (iii) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver the Mortgage Loan data to the Trustee as required by this Agreement or (iv) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer.

154

Section 9.02.Additional Remedies of Trustee Upon Event of Default. During the continuance of any Master Servicer Event of Default, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 9.01, shall have the right, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.

Section 9.03.Waiver of Defaults. The Majority Certificateholders may, on behalf of all Certificateholders, waive any default or Master Servicer Event of Default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder, except that a default in the making of any required deposit to the Collection Account that would result in a failure of the Securities Administrator to make any required payment of principal of or interest on the Certificates may only be waived with the consent of 100% of the affected Certificateholders. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

Section 9.04.Notification to Holders. Upon termination of the Master Servicer or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, in each case as provided herein, the Trustee shall promptly mail notice thereof by first class mail to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing on the applicable Register. The Trustee shall also, within 45 days after the occurrence of any Master Servicer Event of Default known to the Trustee, give written notice thereof to Certificateholders, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived prior to the issuance of such notice and within such forty-five (45) day period.

Section 9.05.Directions by Certificateholders and Duties of Trustee During Master Servicer Event of Default. During the continuance of any Master Servicer Event of Default, the Majority Certificateholders may direct 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; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such remedy, or to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) the conducting or defending of any administrative action or litigation hereunder or in relation hereto and (ii) the terminating of the Master Servicer or any successor master servicer from its rights and duties as master servicer hereunder) at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the cost, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; and, provided further, that, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, in accordance with an Opinion of Counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines that the action or proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability for which it is not indemnified to its satisfaction or be unjustly prejudicial to the non-assenting Certificateholders.

155

Section 9.06.Action Upon Certain Failures of the Master Servicer and Upon Master Servicer Event of Default. In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall have actual knowledge of any action or inaction of the Master Servicer that would become a Master Servicer Event of Default upon the Master Servicer’s failure to remedy the same after notice, the Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall give notice thereof to the Master Servicer.

ARTICLE X

TERMINATION

Section 10.01.Termination. The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee created hereby (other than obligations expressly stated to survive the termination of the Trust) shall terminate upon notice to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Class Principal Amount of each Class of Senior Certificates and Subordinate Certificates has been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan, (iii) the optional purchase of the Mortgage Loans as described in Section 10.02 and (iv) the Latest Possible Maturity Date (the “Termination Date”). Upon the termination of the Trust Estate, each REMIC shall be terminated in a manner that shall qualify as a “qualified liquidation” under the REMIC Provisions.

Section 10.02.Termination Prior to Maturity Date; Optional Redemption.

(a) On any Distribution Date occurring on or after the Group I Initial Purchase Date, the Servicer shall have the option to purchase the Pool I Mortgage Loans, any REO Property and any other property remaining in the Trust Estate for a price equal to the Pool I Termination Price. The Master Servicer and the Servicer will be reimbursed from the Pool I Termination Price for any outstanding Monthly Advances, Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees and other amounts not previously reimbursed pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, as applicable, relating to the Pool I Mortgage Loans, and the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian shall be reimbursed for any previously unreimbursed amounts for which they are entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to this Agreement or the Custodial Agreement, as applicable, relating to the Pool I Mortgage Loans. If such option is exercised, the payment of the Pool I Termination Price will result in a mandatory redemption of the Group I Certificates.

156

On any Distribution Date occurring on or after the Group II Initial Purchase Date, the Servicer shall have the option to purchase the Pool II Mortgage Loans, any REO Property and any other property remaining in the Trust Estate for a price equal to the Pool II Termination Price. The Master Servicer and the Servicer will be reimbursed from the Pool II Termination Price for any outstanding Monthly Advances, Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees and other amounts not previously reimbursed pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, as applicable, relating to the Pool II Mortgage Loans, and the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian shall be reimbursed for any previously unreimbursed amounts for which they are entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to this Agreement or the Custodial Agreement, as applicable, relating to the Pool II Mortgage Loans. If such option is exercised, the payment of the Pool II Termination Price will result in a mandatory redemption of the Group II Certificates.

If both purchase options are exercised by the Servicer, the Trust will be terminated.

The Servicer shall deliver written notice of its intention to exercise any such option to the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Master Servicer not less than 30 days prior to the applicable Distribution Date.

If the Servicer fails to exercise the option to purchase the Pool II Mortgage Loans on the Pool II Initial Purchase Date, the Group II Certificate Interest Rate for each Class of Group II Certificates will be increased as set forth in the table in the Preliminary Statement herein beginning on the Group II Step-up Date and for each Distribution Date thereafter.

In connection with such purchase, the Servicer shall remit to the Master Servicer all amounts then on deposit in the Custodial Account (other than amounts permitted to be withdrawn by it pursuant to Section 4.02(e)) for deposit to the Collection Account.

(b) Promptly following any such purchase pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section and receipt of an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer that the purchase price has been deposited in the Collection Account, the Trustee or the Custodian shall release the Mortgage Files to the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section 10.02, or otherwise upon its order.

Section 10.03.Certain Notices upon Final Distribution. The Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall give the Trustee, each Rating Agency, each Certificateholder and the Depositor at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the date on which the Trust Estate is expected to terminate in accordance with Section 10.01, or the date on which the Certificates will be redeemed in accordance with Section 10.02. Not later than the fifth Business Day in the Collection Period in which the final payment in respect to the Certificates is payable to the Certificateholders, the Securities Administrator shall mail to the Certificateholders a notice specifying the procedures with respect to such final payment. The Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall give a copy of such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. Following the final distribution, such Certificates shall become void, no longer outstanding and no longer evidence any right or interest in the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Files or any proceeds of the foregoing. Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the Certificates, each Residual Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of each REMIC and the payment in full of all other amounts due with respect to the Residual Certificates and at such time such final payment in retirement of any Residual Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office.

157

Section 10.04. Additional Termination Requirements.

(a) In the event the Servicer exercises its purchase option, as provided in Section 10.02, the following additional requirements shall apply, unless the Securities Administrator have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Servicer, to the effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.04 will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event:

(i) The Trustee shall sell all of the assets that constitute the portion of the Trust Estate related to Pool I or Pool II, as applicable, for cash as provided in Section 10.02, and, within 90 days of such sale (such period the “90-day liquidation period”), shall distribute to (or credit to the account of) the Holders of the Certificates the proceeds of such sale together with other cash on hand (less amounts retained to meet claims) in complete liquidation of Lower-Tier REMIC I, if the option to purchase is exercised with respect to Pool I, Lower-Tier REMIC II, if the option to purchase is exercised with respect to Pool II, and if Lower-Tier REMIC I or Lower-Tier REMIC II has already been liquidated at the time the option to purchase is exercised with respect to the unrelated Pool, each REMIC then in existence; and

(ii) The Securities Administrator shall attach (or cause to be attached) a statement to the final federal income tax return for each liquidated REMIC created hereunder stating that pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.860F-1, the first day of the 90-day liquidation period for each such REMIC was the date on which the Trustee sold the assets of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 10.02(a).

(b) By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby authorize the Tax Matters Person, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator to undertake the above-described actions.

ARTICLE XI

REMIC ADMINISTRATION

Section 11.01. REMIC Administration.

REMIC elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement shall be made on Forms 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. The regular interests and residual interest in each REMIC shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement. For purposes of such designations, the interest rate of any regular interest that is computed by taking into account the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates of the Mortgage Loans shall be reduced by the amount of any expense paid by the Trust to the extent that (i) such expense was not taken into account in computing the Net Mortgage Rate of any Mortgage Loan, (ii) such expense does not constitute an “unanticipated expense” of a REMIC within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) and (iii) the amount of such expense was not taken into account in computing the interest rate of a more junior Class of regular interests.

158

The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC within the meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The latest possible maturity date for purposes of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-1(a)(4) will be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

The Securities Administrator shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC, including but not limited to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to such REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Securities Administrator in fulfilling its duties hereunder (including its duties as tax return preparer). The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses to the extent provided in clause (i) above from the Securities Administration Account, provided, however, the Securities Administrator shall not be entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of tax returns and other reports as required by this Agreement.

The Securities Administrator shall prepare, the Trustee shall sign and the Securities Administrator shall file, all of each REMIC’s federal and appropriate state tax and information returns as such REMIC’s direct representative. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Securities Administrator.

The Securities Administrator or its designee shall perform on behalf of each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC 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, if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the Securities Administrator shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified person or organization pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.860E-2(a)(5) and any person designated in Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code and (ii) to the Trustee such information as is necessary for the Trustee to provide to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions.

159

The Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of any REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. None of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall knowingly take any action, cause any REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could result in an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC or the assets therein, or causing any REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of a Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.

Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on the related REMIC by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in any such REMIC or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Collection Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to holders of regular interests in any such REMIC, as the case may be.

The Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

No additional contributions of assets after the Startup Day shall be made to any REMIC, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services.

On or before October 15 of each calendar year beginning in 2007, the Securities Administrator shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating, without regard to any actions taken by any party other than the Securities Administrator, the Securities Administrator’s compliance with provisions of this Section 11.01.

Notwithstanding the priority and sources of payments set forth in Article VI hereof or otherwise, the Securities Administrator shall account for all distributions on the Certificates as set forth in this Section 11.01.

For federal income tax purposes, any distributions made to the Group II Certificates in respect of Group II Basis Risk Carryover Amounts shall be treated as having been first distributed to the Holders of the Class II-X Certificates and then paid by the Holders of the Class II-X Certificates to the Holders of the other Classes of Group II Certificates pursuant to an interest rate cap contract. For tax information reporting purposes, it shall be assumed that the interest rate cap contract has only nominal value on the Closing Date.

160

Section 11.02. Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

Neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall sell, dispose of, or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Estate (iii) the termination of each REMIC pursuant to Article X of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article III of this Agreement or (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article III of this Agreement, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Certificate Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC after the Closing Date, unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, or substitution) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (a) result in an Adverse REMIC Event, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates or (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to the Trust Estate (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement).

Section 11.03. Indemnification with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status.

Upon the occurrence of an Adverse REMIC Event due to the negligent performance by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall indemnify the Holder of the Residual Certificate or the Trust Estate, as applicable, against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Class X Certificateholders, the Holder of such Residual Certificate or the Securities Administrator (with regard to the Trustee), as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Residual Certificate on which the Securities Administrator has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such Residual Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of a negligent performance by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates); provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply in connection with any failure by the Securities Administrator to comply with the provisions of Subsections 8.01(a) or (b) hereof. In addition, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability for the actions or failure to act of the other.

All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Seller hereby certifies, represents and warrants to, and covenants with the Depositor, HBMC, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee that:

1. No purpose of the Seller relating to the sale of the Certificate by the Seller to the Purchaser is or will be to enable the Seller to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

2. The Seller understands that the Purchaser has delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Depositor a transferee affidavit and agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit B-6. The Seller does not know or believe that any representation contained therein is false.

3. The Seller has no actual knowledge that the Purchaser is not a Permitted Transferee.

4. The Seller has no actual knowledge that the Purchaser would be unwilling or unable to pay taxes due on its share of the taxable income attributable to the Certificates.

B-5-1

5. At the time of this transfer (I) the Seller has conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Purchaser and, as a result of the investigation, found that the Purchaser has historically paid its debts as they came due, and found no significant evidence to indicate that the Purchaser will not continue to pay its debts as they come due in the future, (II) the Purchaser represents that it will not cause income from the Certificates to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base (within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty) of the Purchaser or another U.S. Person and (III) either (A) the Seller both (1) has determined all of the following: (i) at the time of the transfer, and at the close of each of the Purchaser’s two fiscal years preceding the year of transfer, the Purchaser’s gross assets for financial reporting purposes exceed $100 million and its net assets for such purposes exceed $10 million (disregarding, for purposes of determining gross or net assets, the obligation of any person related to the Purchaser within the meaning of section 860L(g) of the Code or any other asset if a principal purpose for holding or acquiring that asset is to permit the Purchaser to satisfy this minimum gross asset or net asset requirement), (ii) the Purchaser is a domestic C corporation for United States federal income tax purposes that is not for such purposes an exempt corporation, a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust, a REMIC, or a cooperative organization to which part I of subchapter T of the Code applies, (iii) there are no facts or circumstances on or before the date of transfer (or anticipated) which would reasonably indicate that the taxes associated with the Certificates will not be paid, (iv) the Purchaser is not a foreign branch of a domestic corporation, and (v) the transfer does not involve a transfer or assignment to a foreign branch of a domestic corporation (or any other arrangement by which any Certificate is at any time subject to net tax by a foreign country or U.S. possession) and the Purchaser will not hereafter engage in any such transfer or assignment (or any such arrangement), and (2) does not know or have reason to know that the Purchaser will not honor the restrictions on subsequent transfers of any Class R Certificate described in paragraph 12 of the Transferee’s Transfer Affidavit, or (B) the Seller has determined that the present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with the holding of the Certificates does not exceed the sum of (1) the present value of any consideration given to the Purchaser to acquire the Certificates, (2) the present value of the expected future distributions on the Certificates, and (3) the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding the Certificates as the REMIC generates losses (having made such determination by (I) assuming that the Purchaser pays tax at a rate equal to the highest rate of tax specified in Section 11(b)(1) of the Code (provided that, if the Purchaser has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate, then the Purchaser may use the tax rate specified in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code), and (II) utilizing a discount rate for present valuation purposes equal to the Federal short-term rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code.

6. The Purchaser has represented to the Seller that, if the Certificates constitute a noneconomic residual interest, it (i) understands that as holder of a noneconomic residual interest it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the interest, and (ii) intends to pay taxes associated with its holding of the Certificates as they become due.

B-5-2

The Seller understands that the transfer of the Certificates may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Seller may continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless there is compliance with the standards of paragraph 5 above as to any transfer.

We agree to indemnify the Depositor, HBMC, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee against any liability that may result if we sell or transfer a Residual Certificate to a purchaser or transferee who does not comply with any conditions for transfer set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Very truly yours,
