Subordinate Prepayment Percentage: With respect to any Distribution Date, the difference between 100% and the Senior Prepayment Percentage for that Distribution Date.

Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount: With respect to each Mortgage Pool and any Distribution Date, an amount equal to the sum of:

(1) the related Subordinate Percentage of all amounts described in clause (a) of the definition of “Principal Distribution Amount” for that Distribution Date;

Instead, the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amounts on that Distribution Date will be allocated among the more senior Classes of Subordinate Certificates, pro rata, based on their respective Class Principal Amounts.

Notwithstanding the above, with respect to each Class of Subordinate Certificates other than the Class B-1 Certificates, if on any Distribution Date the Class Principal Amount of that Class and the aggregate of the Class Principal Amounts of all Classes of Subordinate Certificates that have a lower payment priority than that Class is less than or equal to 1.20% of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date, the portion of the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount otherwise distributable to such Class or Classes on such Distribution Date and each succeeding Distribution Date will be allocated among the Subordinate Certificates with a higher payment priority then entitled to principal, pro rata, based on their respective Class Principal Amounts and any remaining Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount will be included in the related Senior Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date.

In addition, until the Class Principal Amount of each of the Class 1-A1 and Class 2-A1 Certificates is reduced to zero, if on any Distribution Date, the Aggregate Subordinate Percentage for such Distribution Date is less than 7.30%, the Senior Principal Distribution Amounts for such Distribution Date will include all principal collections on the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool distributable on that Distribution Date, and the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amounts will be zero.

In addition, until the Class Principal Amount of each of the Class 1-A1 and Class 2-A1 Certificates is reduced to zero, if on any Distribution Date the aggregate of the Class Principal Amounts of the Subordinate Certificates is less than or equal to 1.20% of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date, each Senior Principal Distribution Amount on such Distribution Date and each succeeding Distribution Date will include all principal collections on the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool distributable on that Distribution Date, and each Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount will be zero.

Subsequent Recovery: Any amount recovered by a Servicer (i) with respect to a Liquidated Mortgage Loan (after reimbursement of any unreimbursed Advances or expenses relating to such Liquidated Mortgage Loan as well as any other previously Liquidated Mortgage Loans) with respect to which a Realized Loss was incurred after the liquidation or disposition of such Mortgage Loan or (ii) as a Principal Forbearance Amount.

(a) Pursuant to Section 2 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Seller has (i) represented and warranted as of the Closing Date that, immediately prior to its transfer of Mortgage Loans under the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Seller owned and had good, valid and marketable title to the Mortgage Loans free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person and (ii) made certain other representations and warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and each of the Depositor and the Trustee intend that the Mortgage Loans (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans) included in the Trust Fund satisfy such representations and warranties. The Depositor, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, hereby assigns any rights it has against the Seller with respect to such representations and warranties to the Trustee, and the Seller acknowledges that it has agreed to comply with the provisions of this Section 2.04 in respect of a breach of any of such representations and warranties.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement shall survive delivery of the Trustee Mortgage Files and Trustee Credit Files and the sale and assignment of each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee and shall continue throughout the term of this Agreement. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Seller of the breach by the Seller of any representation or warranty under the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan, which materially adversely affects the value of that Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders (a “Defective Mortgage Loan”) (each of such parties hereby agreeing to give written notice thereof to the Trustee and the other of such parties), the Trustee, or its designee, shall promptly notify the Depositor in writing of such breach and request that the Depositor cure or cause the cure of such breach within 90 days from the earlier of the date that the Depositor discovered or was notified of such breach, and if the Depositor does not cure or cause the cure of such breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the Seller’s obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement to repurchase at the Repurchase Price or substitute that Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund or, other than with respect to a breach of the representation and warranty as to good, valid and marketable title, make an indemnification payment with respect to such Mortgage Loan on or prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of such 90-day period; provided, however, that, in connection with any such breach that could not reasonably have been cured within such 90-day period, the Seller shall be required to repurchase or substitute or make an indemnification payment with respect to the Mortgage Loan no later than 120 days after its discovery or notice of such breach, and provided further, that, if such breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” (as defined in the Code), then notwithstanding the previous provisions of this paragraph, the Seller shall be required to repurchase or substitute the Defective Mortgage Loan within 60 days from the date the defect was discovered and the Seller shall not have the option to make an indemnification payment with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Each determination as to whether there has been such a breach shall be conducted on a Mortgage Loan-by-Mortgage Loan basis. The Repurchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Distribution Account, and the Trustee, or its designee, upon receipt of written certification of such deposit, shall release to the Seller the related Trustee Mortgage File and Trustee Credit File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranties, as either party shall furnish to the Trustee and as shall be necessary to vest in such party any

Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Trustee, or its designee, shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Trustee Mortgage File and Trustee Credit File (it being understood that the Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment for its intended purpose). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure, to cause the cure of or to repurchase or substitute or make an indemnification payment with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against such party respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. Costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 2.04, to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller, shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund, subject to the limitation in clause (C) of the definition of Available Distribution Amount.

(b) The Seller indemnifies and holds the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, 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 Fund, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and any Certificateholder may sustain in connection with any actions of the Seller relating to a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan other than in compliance with the terms of this Section 2.04 and the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, to the extent that any such action causes an Adverse REMIC Event.

Section 2.05 Obligations in Respect of Alleged Breach of Originator Representations and Warranties.

(a) (i) The Trustee shall be obligated to pursue an action against an Originator in respect of any alleged breach of a representation and warranty set forth in the applicable Purchase Agreement or against the Seller if the Seller has an obligation to cure a breach, repurchase or substitute for or make an indemnification payment with respect to a Mortgage Loan under the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement upon its receipt of (1) (A) written direction to do so by the Holders of more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Senior Certificates, for so long as there is a Controlling Holder under this Agreement or (B) written direction to do so by the Holders of more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificates, if there is no Controlling Holder under this Agreement and (2) an agreement by Holders directing the Trustee to take such action to provide in advance to the Trustee funds to pay for any fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee, and to provide any indemnification reasonably requested by the Trustee. The Trustee shall provide notice to the Controlling Holder prior to taking any such action. However, Certificateholders shall not have the right to require the Trustee to pursue any action with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which a final and binding decision by an arbitrator has already been issued, regardless of the particular claims made. In connection with any such action described in this Section 2.05(a)(i), the Trustee shall seek reimbursement for its fees, costs and expenses from the applicable Originator under the terms of the related Purchase Agreement or from the Seller under the terms of the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement if directed to do so by the Certificateholders that provided such funds to the Trustee pursuant to the agreement described in clause (2) above. If the Trustee recovers any such fees, costs and expenses from the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the Trustee shall pay such amounts to such Certificateholders. To the extent the Trustee is not reimbursed by the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, or the applicable Certificateholders, the Trustee shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund, subject to the limitation in clause (C) of the definition of Available Distribution Amount.

(ii) In addition, if the Trustee receives written notice, from a Person in a position to have knowledge of the facts and circumstances stated in such notice, of any breach of a representation or warranty regarding a Mortgage Loan made by an Originator or the Seller, which would give rise to an obligation to cure such breach, or repurchase, substitute for or make an indemnification payment with respect to any related Mortgage Loan as described herein, then, unless a final and binding decision by an arbitrator has been issued with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the Trustee in reliance on such notice shall (i) demand that the applicable Originator or the Seller, if the Seller has such an obligation, cure such breach, or repurchase, substitute for or make an indemnification payment with respect to the related

Mortgage Loan, and (ii) notify the Certificateholders of the Trustee’s receipt of such notice and of the Trustee’s submission of such demand. If the Originator or Seller, as applicable, responds to the demand within 60 days of the date of the demand, the Trustee will negotiate with such party so long as such party is pursuing negotiations in good faith. If the Originator or Seller does not respond within 60 days of the date of the demand, or if the demand is not resolved within 180 days of such date, then the Trustee will not be required to pursue further action in connection with such demand unless it has received (i) (a) written direction to do so by the Holders of more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Senior Certificates, if there is a Controlling Holder under this Agreement or (b) written direction to do so by the Holders of more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificates, if there is no longer a Controlling Holder under this Agreement and (ii) an agreement by Holders directing the Trustee to take such action to provide in advance to the Trustee funds to pay for any fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee, and provide any indemnification reasonably requested by the Trustee. Prior to taking any action at the direction of Certificateholders, the Trustee will notify the Controlling Holder, if any. The Trustee shall seek to recover its fees, costs and expenses from the Originator under the terms of the applicable Purchase Agreement or from the Seller under the terms of the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement if directed to do so by the Certificateholders that provided such funds to the Trustee as described above. If the Trustee recovers any such fees, costs and expenses, it will be obligated to pay such amounts to such Certificateholders. To the extent not reimbursed by the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, or the fees, costs and expenses of applicable Certificateholders, the Trustee shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund, subject to the limitation in clause (C) of the definition of Available Distribution Amount.

(b) (i) The Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Securities Administrator who shall promptly notify the Controlling Holder (if any) and the Trustee of each Mortgage Loan that becomes Delinquent for more than 120 days. The Controlling Holder or, if there is no longer a Controlling Holder, the Trustee, shall engage a third party to review each Mortgage Loan that has been Delinquent for more than 120 days, other than any such Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a previous arbitration proceeding under the related Purchase Agreement or under the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, to review whether any breaches of the representations and warranties given by an Originator under the related Purchase Agreement have occurred or if the Seller has an obligation to cure a breach, repurchase or substitute for or make an indemnification payment with respect to a Mortgage Loan under the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement. Such third party shall be a recognized third party with experience performing due diligence on residential mortgage loans and shall not be the same party that performed the pre-offering review of the Mortgage Loans. Any such review shall include, at a minimum, a review as to whether the Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Originator’s underwriting standards in effect at the time of origination, whether the Mortgage Loan was originated in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, and whether any fraud may have occurred in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan. The third party shall report its findings and provide an attestation that its review and report have not been influenced or affected by interested parties. If, as a result of such review, there is evidence that a breach of a representation or warranty may have occurred requiring the Originator or the Seller to cure such breach, repurchase or substitute for or make an indemnification payment with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, then the Controlling Holder or the Trustee, as applicable, will enforce such obligation, including participating in an arbitration proceeding pursuant to the related Purchase Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, if necessary. If the Controlling Holder is the same entity as or an Affiliate of the party against which an enforcement action is to be taken, then the Trustee will enforce the remedy obligation of such party. If the Trustee is obligated to take such an action, the Trustee shall first (i) demand that the applicable Originator or the Seller, if the Seller has such an obligation, cure such breach, or repurchase, substitute for or make an indemnification payment with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, and (ii) notify the Certificateholders of the Trustee’s submission of such demand. If the Originator or Seller, as applicable, responds to the demand within 60 days of the date of the demand, the Trustee will negotiate with such party so long as such party is pursuing negotiations in good faith. If the Originator or Seller does not respond within 60 days of the date of the demand, or if the demand is not resolved within 180 days of such date, then the Trustee will not be required to pursue further action in connection with such demand unless it has received (i) (a) written direction to do so by the Holders of more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Senior Certificates, if there is a Controlling Holder under this Agreement or (b) written direction to do so by the Holders of more than 50%

of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificates, if there is no longer a Controlling Holder under this Agreement and (ii) an agreement by Holders directing the Trustee to take such action to provide in advance to the Trustee funds to pay for any fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee, and provide any indemnification reasonably requested by the Trustee. In connection with any such action against an Originator or the Seller, the Trustee shall pursue reimbursement for its fees, costs and expenses from such Originator under the terms of the related Purchase Agreement or from the Seller under the terms of the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, if directed to do so by the Certificateholders that provided such funds to the Trustee as described above. If the Trustee recovers any such fees, costs and expenses, it will be obligated to pay these amounts to such Certificateholders. To the extent not reimbursed by the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, or the applicable Certificateholders, the Trustee shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund, subject to the limitation in clause (C) of the definition of Available Distribution Amount.

(ii) If, as a result of a review of a Mortgage Loan conducted pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i) above, the Controlling Holder or the Trustee, as applicable, concludes that a breach of a representation or warranty that would require the Originator or the Seller to cure, repurchase or substitute for or make an indemnification payment with respect to the related Mortgage Loan has not occurred, then such party shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing and the Certificateholders shall be notified of this decision and provided details of the review pursuant to a Distribution Date Statement; provided, that the Securities Administrator shall only be required to include such notification and any related details on any Distribution Date Statement to the extent it has received the same. The Certificateholders may direct the Trustee to enforce a remedy obligation despite such a determination by either the Controlling Holder or the Trustee if, within thirty days of notification of the Certificateholders, (i) the Trustee receives written direction to do so by the Holders of more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificates and (ii) the Holders directing the Trustee to enforce the remedy obligation agree to provide in advance to the Trustee funds to pay for any costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and to provide any indemnification reasonably requested by the Trustee. In connection with any such action against an Originator or the Seller, the Trustee shall pursue reimbursement for its fees, costs and expenses from such Originator under the terms of the related Purchase Agreement or from the Seller under the terms of the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, if directed to do so by the Certificateholders that provided such funds to the Trustee as described above. If the Trustee recovers any such fees, costs and expenses, it will be obligated to pay such amounts to such Certificateholders. To the extent not reimbursed by the originator or the seller, as applicable, or the applicable Certificateholders, the Trustee shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund, subject to the limitation in clause (C) of the definition of Available Distribution Amount.

(c) If an Originator has breached a representation under the related Purchase Agreement stating that a Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” (as defined in the REMIC Provisions) and the Originator fails to repurchase such non-qualified Mortgage Loan within ninety days from the date the defect was discovered, the Depositor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell such Mortgage Loan for its fair market value, as determined by the Depositor and which may be less than its outstanding principal balance, within ninety days from the date the defect was discovered. The Trustee will release the applicable Mortgage Loan upon receipt of the sale price in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(a) hereof.

Section 2.06 Intention of Parties.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is intended by each of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property and not a grant of a security interest to secure a loan or other obligation, so that the Trustee shall be the owner of the Trust Fund for the benefit of the holders of the Certificates.

However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Trust Fund is held to be the property of the Depositor, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Trust Fund, then (a) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement, and (b) the conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of, and the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee, to secure all of the Depositor’s obligations hereunder, a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (i) the Mortgage Loans, (ii) all other property in the Trust Fund, (iii) all accounts, chattel paper, deposit accounts, documents, general intangibles, goods, instruments, investment property, letter of credit rights, letters of credit, money, and oil, gas, and other minerals, consisting of, arising from, or relating to, any of the foregoing, and (iv) all proceeds of the foregoing.

(b) The Depositor 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 Trust Fund, such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Depositor will, at its own expense, make all initial filings on or about the Closing Date and shall forward a copy of such filing or filings to the Trustee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the relevant UCC to perfect the Trustee’s security interest in the Trust Fund, including without limitation (i) continuation statements, and (ii) such other statements as may be occasioned by (A) any change of name of the Seller, the Depositor or the Trustee, (B) any change of location of the Seller or the Depositor, or (C) any change under the relevant UCC or other applicable laws. Neither of the Seller nor the Depositor 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 the laws of an additional jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior written notice of such action to its immediate and intermediate transferee, including the Trustee. Before effecting such change, the Seller or the Depositor 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 Mortgage Loans. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Seller and 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 paragraph (b).

Section 2.07 Controlling Holder Assumption of Purchase Agreement and Servicing Agreement Rights.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) By its purchase of the applicable Class of Subordinate Certificates, the Controlling Holder assumes the rights and all related responsibilities of the Trustee as “Purchaser” under each Purchase Agreement and Servicing Agreement as set forth in the “Controlling Holder Rights” section of each applicable Acknowledgement, and shall be entitled to exercise such rights in its sole discretion. The Depositor, the Controlling Holder and each other Certificateholder, by its acceptance of any Certificate or any beneficial ownership interest therein, each acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Controlling Holder may exercise such rights in such a manner that may not be in the best interests of all of the Certificateholders, (ii) none of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall have any liability with respect to any acts or omissions of the Controlling Holder in the exercise of such rights, and (iii) none of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall have any duty or obligation to exercise any such rights in the place or stead of the Controlling Holder (so long as there is a Controlling Holder) or to monitor or oversee the exercise of any such rights by the Controlling Holder. The Controlling Holder agrees that it shall exercise its rights in such a manner as will maximize returns to all Classes of Certificateholders taken as a whole.

(c) Each of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall cooperate with the Controlling Holder as may be reasonably necessary for the Controlling Holder to exercise its rights hereunder and under the Purchase Agreements and the Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that,

except as otherwise provided in Section 2.05, the Trustee shall not be required to take any legal action or participate in or facilitate any arbitration proceeding or other litigation relating to the Mortgage Loans or the obligations of the Originators or Servicers with respect thereto unless and until it is directed in writing by the Controlling Holder and it is assured of the recovery of its expenses from the Controlling Holder.

(d) The Controlling Holder shall indemnify each of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee and hold it harmless from and against any claim, loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred or expended by the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee (without negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee) with respect to claims of a third party arising from any act or omission of the Controlling Holder in the exercise of its rights as Controlling Holder hereunder and under the Purchase Agreements and the Servicing Agreements.

(e) If the Controlling Holder transfers its ownership interest in any Class of Certificates in a manner resulting in there being no Controlling Holder under this Agreement or a change in the Controlling Holder, it shall so notify the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee. If the Depositor has actual knowledge of a change in Controlling Holder or that there is no Controlling Holder under this Agreement, it shall so notify the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee.

Section 2.08 Obligations in Respect of Proposed Eminent Domain Mortgage Loan Acquisition

(a) The Master Servicer or the Trustee shall promptly notify the Controlling Holder (if any), and the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, if it has received notice that any governmental entity intends to acquire a Mortgage Loan through the exercise of its power of eminent domain. The Controlling Holder shall obtain or cause to be obtained or, if there is no longer a Controlling Holder, the Trustee shall cause the related Servicer to obtain, a valuation on the related property in the form of a broker’s price opinion or another valuation method that it deems appropriate. The Controlling Holder, if any, may also engage a third party to review each such Mortgage Loan to determine whether the payment offered by such governmental entity for the Mortgage Loan is the fair market value (the “Fair Value”) of such Mortgage Loan. Any such third party reviewer must be a recognized third party with experience performing valuations of residential mortgage loans. The Controlling Holder, if any, also may engage legal counsel to assess the legality of such governmental entity’s proposed exercise of its power of eminent domain to acquire the Mortgage Loan to determine whether there are bona fide legal grounds for contesting such acquisition (without regard to issues relating to the amount of compensation to be paid) (each such determination referred to herein as a “legality determination”). If, as a result of such review, the Controlling Holder determines that the offered payment does not constitute the Fair Value of the Mortgage Loan or that there may be bona fide legal grounds to contest such proposed acquisition, then the Controlling Holder may contest such acquisition through appropriate legal proceedings.

(b) If, as a result of a review conducted pursuant to Section 2.08(a) above, the Controlling Holder concludes that it will not contest the proposed acquisition, then the Controlling Holder shall notify the Securities Administrator and the Trustee in writing and the Securities Administrator shall notify the Certificateholders of this decision and provide details of the review pursuant to a Distribution Date Statement; provided, that the Securities Administrator shall only be required to include such notification and any related details on any Distribution Date Statement to the extent it has received the same. After such notification has been delivered, notwithstanding such a determination by the Controlling Holder, the Certificateholders may direct the Trustee to contest an acquisition of a Mortgage Loan through exercise of the power of eminent domain, or the amount of the offered payment for such Mortgage Loan, if, within thirty days of notification of the Certificateholders, (i) the Trustee receives written direction to do so by the Holders of more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificates and (ii) the Holders directing the Trustee to take such action agree to provide in advance to the Trustee funds to pay for any fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and to provide any indemnification reasonably requested by the Trustee. In connection with any such action, the Trustee shall pursue reimbursement for its fees, costs and expenses from the governmental entity, if directed to do so by the Certificateholders that provided

such funds to the Trustee as described above. If the Trustee recovers any such fees, costs and expenses, it shall be obligated to pay such amounts to such Certificateholders unless the Certificateholders directing the Trustee have not satisfied their obligations to pay the fees, costs, expenses and indemnities of the Trustee in taking such action, in which case such amounts shall be retained by the Trustee for such purposes. To the extent not reimbursed by the governmental entity or the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund for any costs incurred by it in connection with the performance of such duties, subject to the limitation in clause (C) of the definition of Available Distribution Amount.

(c) If there is no longer a Controlling Holder, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders that it has received notice that a governmental entity intends to acquire a Mortgage Loan through the exercise of its power of eminent domain and of the results of the valuation on the related property obtained. The Trustee shall take such other actions with respect to the action of the governmental authority as are consistent with the instructions of the Certificateholders, provided the Trustee shall have no duty or obligation to take such actions except (i) in accordance with the written direction by the Holders of more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificates and (ii) an agreement by Holders directing the Trustee to take such action to provide in advance to the Trustee funds to pay for any fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee, and provide any indemnification reasonably requested by the Trustee. In connection with any such action, the Trustee shall pursue reimbursement for its fees, costs and expenses from such governmental entity if directed to do so by the Certificateholders that provided such funds to the Trustee as described above. If the Trustee recovers any such fees, costs and expenses, it shall be obligated to reimburse such amounts to such Certificateholders unless the Certificateholders directing the Trustee have not satisfied their obligations to pay the fees, costs, expenses and indemnities of the Trustee in taking such action, in which case such amounts shall be retained by the Trustee for such purposes. To the extent not reimbursed by the governmental entity or the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund for any costs incurred by it in connection with the performance of such duties, subject to the limitation in clause (C) of the definition of Available Distribution Amount.

For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Controlling Holder nor The trustee shall be liable for any legality determination or determination of Fair Value made as described above, or any actions taken by them with respect to or in reliance on such determinations.

(d) In performing its duties under this Section 2.08, each of the Controlling Holder and the Trustee may rely upon, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any legality determination by a nationally recognized law firm and any determination of Fair Value by a recognized third party with experience in performing valuations of residential mortgage loans.

ARTICLE III

THE CERTIFICATES

Section 3.01 The Certificates.

(a) The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form only and shall be securities governed by Article 8 of the New York UCC. The Certificates will be evidenced by one or more certificates, ownership of which will be held in the minimum denominations in Certificate Principal Amount or Notional Amount specified in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, or in the Percentage Interests specified in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement, as applicable.

(b) The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer of the Trustee. Each Certificate shall, on original issue, be authenticated by the Authenticating Agent upon the order of the Depositor upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee as described in Section 2.01. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication

substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by an authorized officer of the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, and such certification upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

(c) The Class B-4, Class B-5, Class R and Class LT-R Certificates are offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration under Rule 144A under the Securities Act and shall be issued with the applicable legends set forth in Exhibit A. The Class B-4 and Class B-5 Certificates shall be issued initially as Definitive Certificates and the Class R and Class LT-R Certificates shall be issued only as Definitive Certificates.

Section 3.02 Registration.

The ~~Securities Administrator is hereby appointed, and the Securities Administrator hereby accepts its appointment as, initial~~ Certificate Registrar ~~in respect of the Certificates and~~ shall maintain books for the registration and for the transfer of Certificates (the “Certificate Register”). A registration book shall be maintained for the Certificates collectively. The Certificate Registrar may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days’ advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer. The Trustee may at any time remove the Certificate Registrar by giving written notice of such removal to such Certificate Registrar, the Depositor and the Master Servicer. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a removal, the Trustee may appoint a bank or trust company to act as successor certificate registrar, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Depositor and the Master Servicer and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of Certificates. Any successor certificate registrar upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Certificate Registrar. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Holders and the Master Servicer, any bank or trust company to act as co-registrar under such conditions as the Certificate Registrar may prescribe; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment.

Section 3.03 Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a) A Certificate (other than Book-Entry Certificates which shall be subject to Section 3.09 hereof) may be transferred by the Holder thereof only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as shall be satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and evidencing, in the aggregate, the same aggregate Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as the Certificate being transferred. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any registration of transfer of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer of Certificates. The Certificate Registrar shall be permitted to request such evidence reasonably satisfactory to it documenting the identity and/or signatures of the transferor and transferee, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Certificate Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Certificate Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act.

(b) A Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number of new Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations, representing in the aggregate the same Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as the Certificate surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as

is satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Certificates delivered upon any such exchange will evidence the same obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the Certificates surrendered. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, date and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

(c) By acceptance of a Restricted Certificate, whether upon original issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such a Certificate acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate set forth thereon and agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only as provided herein.

The following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration of transfer of a Restricted Certificate to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a Definitive Certificate:

(i) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is (x) to the Depositor or an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Depositor or (y) being made to a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act by a transferor that has provided the Certificate Registrar with a certificate in the form of Exhibit E-1 hereto and has furnished to the Certificate Registrar a certificate of the transferee in the form of Exhibit E-2 hereto; and

(ii) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is being made to an “accredited investor” under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act, or to any Person all of the equity owners in which are such accredited investors, by a transferor who furnishes to the Certificate Registrar a letter of the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto.

(d) (i) No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a Definitive Certificate shall be made to any Person or shall be effective unless the Certificate Registrar, on behalf of the Securities Administrator, has received (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (or Exhibit B, in the case of a Residual Certificate) from such transferee or (B) in the case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a Residual Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar to the effect that the purchase and holding of such a Certificate will not constitute or result in prohibited transactions under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar will not require such certificate or opinion in the event that, as a result of a change of law or otherwise, counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar has rendered an opinion to the effect that the purchase and holding of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate (other than a Residual Certificate) by a Plan or a Person that is purchasing or holding such a Certificate with the assets of a Plan will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. Each Transferee of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Exhibit G. The preparation and delivery of the certificate and opinions referred to above shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no opinion or certificate shall be required for the initial issuance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. The Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to monitor transfers of Book-Entry Certificates that are ERISA-Restricted Certificates and shall have no liability for transfers of such Certificates in violation of the transfer restrictions. The Certificate Registrar 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 3.03(d) and none of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall have any liability 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 Certificate Registrar in accordance with the foregoing requirements. The Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that was in fact a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of, or an entity holding “plan assets” of, a Plan any payments made on such ERISA-Restricted 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 Holder of such Certificate that is not such a Plan or Person acting on behalf of, or an entity holding “plan assets” of, a Plan.

(ii) If any ERISA-Restricted Certificate, or any interest therein, is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs, then upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar of written notice that the registration of transfer of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate was not permitted by this Section 3.03(d), the next preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that ERISA-Restricted Certificate, retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate, or interest therein, was effected in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall indemnify to the extent permitted by law and hold harmless the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.

(e) As a condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate, the Certificate Registrar may require the certified taxpayer identification number of the owner of the Certificate and the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to require such payment or to determine whether or not any such tax or charge may be applicable. No service charge shall be made to the Certificateholder for any registration, transfer or exchange of a Certificate.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Residual Certificate may be owned, pledged or transferred, directly or indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified Organization or (ii) an individual, corporation or partnership or other person unless such person is (A) not a Non-U.S. Person or (B) is a Non-U.S. Person that holds a Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and has furnished the transferor and the Certificate Registrar with an effective Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or successor form at the time and in the manner required by the Code (any such person who is not covered by clause (A) or (B) above is referred to herein as a “Non-permitted Foreign Holder”).

Prior to and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of a Residual Certificate, the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar, on behalf of the Trustee, an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B representing and warranting, among other things, that such transferee is neither a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee acting on behalf of a Disqualified Organization, nor a Non-permitted Foreign Holder (any such transferee, a “Permitted Transferee”), and the proposed transferor shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. In addition, the Certificate Registrar may (but shall have no obligation to) require, prior to and as a condition of any such transfer, the delivery by the proposed transferee of an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, that such proposed transferee or, if the proposed transferee is an agent or nominee, the proposed beneficial owner, is not a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or a Non-permitted Foreign Holder. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale, or other disposition of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions on such Residual Certificate. The Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Paying Agent shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof or Non-permitted Foreign Holder or for the Paying Agent making any payments due on such Residual Certificate

to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement, so long as the transfer was effected in accordance with this Section 3.03(f), unless a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar shall have actual knowledge at the time of such transfer or the time of such payment or other action that the transferee is a Disqualified Organization, or an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder. The Certificate Registrar shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder at the time it became a Holder or any subsequent time it became a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such times (and all costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection therewith). Any payment (not including any such costs and expenses) so recovered by the Certificate Registrar shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding Holder of such Residual Certificate.

If any purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.03(f), then upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar of written notice that the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section 3.03(f), the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of such registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.03(f), or for the Paying Agent making any payment due on such Certificate to the registered Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered upon receipt of the affidavit described in the preceding paragraph of this Section 3.03(f).

The following legend shall appear on all Residual Certificates:

Such distributions shall be made by check mailed to each Certificateholder’s address as it appears on the Certificate Register of the Certificate Registrar or, upon written request made to the Securities Administrator at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date by any Certificateholder owning an aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of at least $1,000,000, or in the case of any Residual Certificate, a Percentage Interest of not less than 100%, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to anthe account ~~specified in the request and at the expense~~ of such Certificateholder at a bank or other depository institution having appropriate wire transfer facilities, provided that the Certificateholder has furnished the Securities Administrator with wire instructions (which may be in the form of standing instructions) no later than seven days prior to the related Distribution Date or otherwise by check mailed to the address of the Holder of the Certificate entitled thereto as it appears on the applicable Certificate Register; provided, however, that the final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Certificate Registrar’s Corporate Trust Office; provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Class of Certificates as long as such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate in which case all payments made shall be made through the Clearing Agency and its Clearing Agency Participants. Wire transfers will be made at the expense of the Holder requesting such wire transfer by deducting a wire transfer fee from the related distribution. Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the Certificates, each Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of each REMIC and the payment in full of all other amounts due with respect to the Certificates and at such time such final payment in retirement of any Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Certificate Registrar’s Corporate Trust Office. If any payment required to be made on the Certificates is to be made on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) All distributions or allocations made with respect to the Certificateholders within each Class on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the outstanding Certificates in such Class equally in proportion to their respective initial Class Principal Amounts or initial Class Notional Amounts (or Percentage Interests).

Section 5.02 Distributions From the Distribution Account.

(a) Subject to Sections 5.02(b), (h) and (i), on each Distribution Date, the Available Distribution Amount for the related Mortgage Pool (in the case of the Senior Certificates) and for the Mortgage Pools in the aggregate (in the case of the Subordinate Certificates), to the extent received by the Securities Administrator, shall be withdrawn by the Paying Agent from funds in the Distribution Account and allocated among the Classes of Senior Certificates and Subordinate Certificates in the following order of priority:

(i) from the Available Distribution Amount for Pool 1, pro rata, to the Class 1-A1 Certificates, the Interest Distribution Amount and any accrued but unpaid Interest Shortfalls, and to the Class 1-AX Certificates, the Interest Distribution Amount and any accrued but unpaid Interest Shortfalls;

(ii) from the Available Distribution Amount for Pool 1 remaining after application of priority (i) above, to the Class 1-A1 Certificates, the related Senior Principal Distribution Amount, until its Class Principal Amount has been reduced to zero;

(iii) from the Available Distribution Amount for Pool 2, pro rata, to the Class 2-A1 Certificates, the Interest Distribution Amount and any accrued but unpaid Interest Shortfalls, and to the Class 2-AX Certificates, the Interest Distribution Amount and any accrued but unpaid Interest Shortfalls;

(iv) from the Available Distribution Amount for Pool 2 remaining after application of priority (iii) above, to the Class 2-A1 Certificates, the related Senior Principal Distribution Amount, until its Class Principal Amount has been reduced to zero;

(v) from the remaining Available Distribution Amount for Pool 1 and Pool 2 in the aggregate remaining after application of priorities, (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, in the following order of priority:

(1) to the Class B-1 Certificates, the Interest Distribution Amount and any accrued but unpaid Interest Shortfalls, in each case, for such Class on such date;

(2) to the Class B-1 Certificates, such Class’s Subordinate Class Percentage of the aggregate Subordinate Principal Distribution Amounts for each of Pool 1 and Pool 2 payable to such Class on such date, until its Class Principal Amount has been reduced to zero;

(3) to the Class B-2 Certificates, the Interest Distribution Amount and any accrued but unpaid Interest Shortfalls, in each case, for such Class on such date;

(4) to the Class B-2 Certificates, such Class’s Subordinate Class Percentage of the aggregate Subordinate Principal Distribution Amounts for each of Pool 1 and Pool 2 payable to such Class on such date, until its Class Principal Amount has been reduced to zero;

(5) to the Class B-3 Certificates, the Interest Distribution Amount and any accrued but unpaid Interest Shortfalls, in each case, for such Class on such date;

(6) to the Class B-3 Certificates, such Class’s Subordinate Class Percentage of the aggregate Subordinate Principal Distribution Amounts for each of Pool 1 and Pool 2 payable to such Class on such date, until its Class Principal Amount has been reduced to zero;

(7) to the Class B-4 Certificates, the Interest Distribution Amount and any accrued but unpaid Interest Shortfalls, in each case, for such Class on such date;

(8) to the Class B-4 Certificates, such Class’s Subordinate Class Percentage of the aggregate Subordinate Principal Distribution Amounts for each of Pool 1 and Pool 2 payable to such Class on such date, until its Class Principal Amount has been reduced to zero;

(9) to the Class B-5 Certificates, the Interest Distribution Amount and any accrued but unpaid Interest Shortfalls, in each case, for such Class on such date;

(10) to the Class B-5 Certificates, such Class’s Subordinate Class Percentage of the aggregate Subordinate Principal Distribution Amounts for each of Pool 1 and Pool 2 payable to such Class on such date, until its Class Principal Amount has been reduced to zero; and

(vi) To the Class LT-R Certificates and the Class R Certificates, any remaining amount of the Available Distribution Amount allocated as provided in Section 5.02(d).

(b) Notwithstanding the priority of distributions set forth in Section 5.02(a), on each Distribution Date on and after the Credit Support Depletion Date, the Available Distribution Amount for Pool 1 and Pool 2 shall be combined and distributed to the remaining Classes of Pool 1 and Pool 2 Certificates, first, to pay the Interest Distribution Amount and any accrued but unpaid Interest Shortfalls, concurrently on a pro rata basis (based on the amount of Current Interest payable to each such Class); second, to pay principal on a pro rata basis (based on the Class Principal Amount of each such Class); and third, to the Class R and Class LT-R Certificates, any remaining Available Distribution Amount from Pool 1 and Pool 2 (in the aggregate) allocated as provided in Section 5.02(d).

(c) Notwithstanding the priority and allocation set forth in Section 5.02(a), if with respect to any Class of Subordinate Certificates other than the Class B-1 Certificates on any Distribution Date the sum of the Class Subordination Percentages of such Class and of all other Classes of Subordinate Certificates which have a lower payment priority than such Class is less than the Original Applicable Credit Support Percentage for such Class, no distribution of principal shall be made to any such Classes. The Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount shall be allocated among the Classes of Subordinate Certificates having higher payment priorities than such Class, pro rata, based on the Class Principal Amounts of the respective Classes immediately prior to such Distribution Date and shall be distributed in the sequential order provided in Section 5.02(a) above.

(d) Amounts distributed to the Residual Certificates pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(vi) on any Distribution Date shall be allocated among the REMIC residual interests represented thereby such that each such interest is allocated the excess of funds available to the related REMIC over required distributions to the regular interests in such REMIC on such Distribution Date; provided, however, that the Class LT-R Interest shall be entitled to any amounts representing net gain resulting from the sale of any REO Properties or other Liquidation Proceeds due to the Residual Certificates with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

(e) For purposes of distributions provided in Section 5.02(a), each Mortgage Pool shall “relate” to the Senior Certificates of the applicable related Certificate Group.

(f) For purposes of distributions of interest in Section 5.02(a) such distributions to a Class of Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be made first, in respect of Current Interest; and second, in respect of Interest Shortfalls.

(g) Amounts distributed to the Certificates (other than the Class LT-R Certificate) pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to have first been distributed from the Lower Tier REMIC to the Middle Tier REMIC in respect of the Lower Tier REMIC regular interests in accord with the distribution provisions for the Lower Tier REMIC set forth in the Preliminary Statement, and then from the Middle Tier REMIC to the Upper Tier REMIC in respect of the Middle Tier REMIC regular interests in accordance with the distribution provisions for the Middle Tier REMIC set forth in the Preliminary Statement.

(h) Notwithstanding the priority of distributions set forth in Section 5.02(a), if on any Distribution Date prior to the Credit Support Depletion Date (1) either one of the Rapid Prepayment Conditions is satisfied on such date and (2) the aggregate of the Class Principal Amounts of the Senior Certificates relating to one of the Mortgage Pools has been reduced to zero or will be reduced to zero after giving effect to distributions on such Distribution Date (without giving effect to the provisions of Section this Section 5.02(h) or Section 5.02(i)), then that portion of the Available Distribution Amount for each Mortgage Pool described in Section 5.02(a)(ii) or 5.02(a)(iv), as applicable, that represents principal collections on the Mortgage Loans shall be applied as an additional distribution to the remaining Classes of Senior Certificates in the other Certificate Group, in reduction of, and in proportion to, the Class Principal Amounts thereof.

(i) If, on any Distribution Date, any Certificate Group would constitute an Undercollateralized Group and the other Certificate Group would constitute an Overcollateralized Group, then notwithstanding Section 5.02(a)(ii) and 5.02(a)(iv), the Available Distribution Amount for an Overcollateralized Group, to the extent remaining following distributions of interest and principal to the related Senior Certificates of that Certificate Group (without giving effect to the provisions of Section 5.02(h) or this Section 5.02 (i)) shall be distributed, up to the sum of the Interest Transfer Amount and the Principal Transfer Amount for the Undercollateralized Group, to the Senior Certificates related to the Undercollateralized Group, in payment of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, and then to such Senior Certificates as principal, in the same order and priority as such Certificates would receive other distributions of principal.

(j) On each Distribution Date to the extent of funds available in the Distribution Account, the Paying Agent shall retain an amount equal to the Securities Administrator Fee. In addition, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the amounts described in clause (C) of the definition of “Available Distribution Amount.”

Section 5.03 Allocation of Losses.

(a) On or prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall calculate the aggregate Realized Losses for such Distribution Date based on the information with respect to losses as reported to it by each Servicer.

~~(b)~~ On each Master Servicer Reporting Date, the Master Servicer shall report the aggregate Realized Losses for such Distribution Date, to the Securities Administrator in a format mutually acceptable to the Master Servicer and Securities Administrator.

(b) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall allocate the principal portion of Realized Losses as follows:

first, to the Classes of Subordinate Certificates in reverse order of their respective numerical Class designations (beginning with the Class B-5 Certificates and ending with the Class B-1 Certificates) until the Class Principal Amount of each such Class is reduced to zero; and

second, in the case of a Mortgage Loan in Pool 1 that sustained such Realized Loss, to the Class 1-A1 Certificates, and in the case of a Mortgage Loan in Pool 2 that sustained such Realized Loss, to the Class 2-A1 Certificates, in each case, until the Class Principal Amount of such Class of Senior Certificates is reduced to zero.

(c) On each Distribution Date, the Class Principal Amount of the Class of Subordinate Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation shall be reduced on each Distribution Date by the Certificate Writedown Amount and if no Subordinate Certificates are then outstanding, the Class Principal Amount of the Class 1-A1 or Class 2-A1 Certificates, as applicable, relating to the Mortgage Pool that sustained such losses shall be reduced by the Certificate Writedown Amount.

(d) Any allocation of a loss pursuant to this section to a Class of Certificates shall be achieved by reducing the Class Principal Amount thereof by the amount of such loss.

(e) Subsequent Recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans in a Mortgage Pool shall be distributed to the Certificates still outstanding, in accordance with Section 5.02, and the Class Principal Amount of each Class of Certificates then outstanding that has been reduced due to application of a Certificate Writedown Amount or Realized Loss relating to such Mortgage Pool (in the case of any Senior Certificates) will be increased, sequentially in order of seniority, by the lesser of (i) the amount of such Subsequent Recovery (reduced by any amounts applied for this purpose to more senior ranking Certificates) and (ii) the Realized Loss amount previously allocated to such Class.

(f) Realized Losses and any Certificate Writedown Amounts allocated by this Section to a Class of Certificates shall be allocated to the Middle-Tier Interest that corresponds to both such Class of Certificates and to the Pool giving rise to such Realized Losses or Certificate Writedown Amounts, as applicable, and shall reduce the Class Principal Amount of such Middle-Tier Interest by the same amount that the Class Principal Amount of the Corresponding Class of Certificates is reduced pursuant to the provisions of this Section as a result of the Realized Losses or Certificate Writedown Amounts derived from such corresponding Pool. Realized Losses and any Certificate Writedown Amounts shall be allocated to the Lower-Tier Interests in the manner set forth in the definition for Lower-Tier REMIC Realized Losses. Subsequent Recoveries distributed to a Class of Certificates pursuant to the provisions of subsection 5.03(e) shall be deemed to have been distributed to the Middle-Tier Interest that corresponds to both such Class of Certificates and to the Pool giving rise to such Subsequent Recoveries. Such Subsequent Recoveries shall be deemed to have been distributed to the Lower-Tier Interest Z-1 or Z-2 that corresponds to the Pool giving rise to such Subsequent Recoveries. To the extent that the Class Principal Amount of any Class of Certificates has been increased on account of Subsequent Recoveries pursuant to the provisions of subsection 5.03(e), the Class Principal Amount of the corresponding Middle-Tier Interest shall be increased by the same amount that the Class Principal Amount of such Class of Certificates is increased pursuant to the provisions of this Section as a result of the Subsequent Recoveries derived from such Pool and the Class Principal Amount of the Lower-Tier Interests Z-1 and Z-2 shall be increased by the same amount as derives from Pool 1 or Pool 2, respectively.

(g) Any Class of Certificates, Middle-Tier Interest or Lower-Tier Interest whose Class Principal Amount has been reduced to zero due to the allocation of Realized Losses will nonetheless remain outstanding under this Agreement and will continue to be entitled to receive Subsequent Recoveries until the termination of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that no such Class of Certificates will have voting rights with respect to matters under this Agreement requiring or permitting actions to be taken by any Certificateholders.

Section 5.04 Servicer Obligations.

In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and a Servicing Agreement with respect to obligations of a Servicer, the provisions of the applicable Servicing Agreement shall govern such obligations.

Section 5.05 Advances by Master Servicer.

If any Servicer (other than Cenlar FSB) or the Servicing Administrator fails to remit any Advance required to be funded under the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall itself fund, or shall cause the successor Servicer or successor Servicing Administrator to fund, such Advance. If the Master Servicer determines that an Advance is required, it shall on the Business Day preceding the related Distribution Date immediately following such Determination Date remit to the Securities Administrator from its own funds (or funds advanced by the applicable Servicer or the Servicing Administrator) for deposit in the Distribution Account immediately available funds in an amount equal to such Advance. The

Master Servicer, each Servicer (other than Cenlar FSB) and the Servicing Administrator shall be entitled to be reimbursed for all Advances funded by it. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that an Advance is nonrecoverable, the Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to make such Advance. If the Master Servicer determines that an Advance is nonrecoverable, it shall, on or prior to the related Distribution Date, deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee to such effect.

Section 5.06 Master Servicer Compensating Interest Payments.

The amount of the aggregate Master Servicing Fees payable to the Master Servicer in respect of any Distribution Date shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of any Master Servicer Compensating Interest Payment for such Distribution Date. Such amount shall not be treated as an Advance and shall not be reimbursable to the Master Servicer.

(x) Any failure of the Master Servicer to make any Advances when such Advances are due, which failure continues unremedied for a period of one Business Day.

If an Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (ix) of this Section shall occur, then, in each and every case, subject to applicable law, so long as any such Event of Default shall not have been remedied within any period of time as prescribed by this Section, the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer may, and, if so directed in writing by Certificateholders evidencing either (i) more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount (or Class Notional Amount) of each Class of Certificates, or (ii) 50% of the aggregate Class Principal Amount of the Subordinate Certificates, or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in clause (x) of this Section, shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof; provided, however, that in the case of the preceding clause (ii), the Trustee shall provide written notice to all of the Certificateholders within two Business Days of receiving such direction and shall not terminate the Master Servicer if, within 30 days of sending such written notice, the Trustee has received contrary instructions from Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificateholders. 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; 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 and the Securities Administrator in effecting the termination of the defaulting Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder as Master Servicer including, without limitation, notifying Servicers 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 Master Servicer Collection Account, the Distribution Account 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 pursuant to this Section 6.14 shall bear all costs of a master servicing transfer, including but not limited to those of the Trustee or Securities Administrator reasonably allocable to specific employees and overhead, legal fees and expenses, accounting and financial consulting fees and expenses, and costs of amending this Agreement, if necessary. If the same Person is acting as both the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer, then the Trustee shall direct the Depositor to remove the Securities Administrator in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.06(b), and the Depositor promptly upon such direction shall remove the Securities Administrator in accordance therewith.

Notwithstanding the termination of its activities as Master Servicer, each terminated Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement to the extent such reimbursement relates to the period prior to such Master Servicer’s termination. The successor master servicer shall not be required to purchase or reimburse the terminated Master Servicer’s Advance receivables. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that the terminated Master Servicer and a successor master servicer have each made Advances in respect of the same Mortgage Loan, recovered amounts shall be used to reimburse the terminated Master Servicer and a successor master servicer in the order in which such Advances were made.

When a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities Administrator and each Rating Agency through the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider of the nature and extent of such Event of Default. The Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall promptly give written notice to the Master Servicer upon the Master Servicer’s failure to fund Advances as required under this Agreement.

(b) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination from the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.14(a) or the Trustee receives the written resignation of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 9.06, the Trustee, unless, in either case, another master servicer shall have been appointed by the Trustee, shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as such under this Agreement and with respect to 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 Advances in accordance with Section 5.04; 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. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any act or omission of the Master Servicer other than any act or omission performed by the Trustee in its capacity as a successor master servicer. In addition, the Trustee shall have no liability relating to the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 9.03. In the Trustee’s capacity as successor master servicer, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability herein granted to the Master Servicer. As compensation for acting as successor master servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive all compensation payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, including the Master Servicing Fee, subject to Section 6.14(d).

(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, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, or appoint on its own behalf 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, which is a Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac-approved master servicer, 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 and liabilities of a master servicer, like the Master Servicer. Any entity designated by the Trustee as a 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 Fund for such Affiliate’s actions and omissions in performing its duties 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 master 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 Mortgagors 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 transferring to the Trustee or such successor master servicer, as applicable, all amounts which shall at the time be or which should have been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Master Servicer Collection Account, the Distribution Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

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 6.16 Waiver of Defaults.

More than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificateholders may waive any event of default of a Servicer or the Servicing Administrator under the related Servicing Agreement or Event of Default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder, except that a default in the making of any Advances, any required deposit to the Master Servicer Collection Account, or any required deposit to the Distribution Account, in each case that would result in a failure of the Paying Agent to make any required payment of principal of or interest on the Certificates may only be waived with the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any event of default under a Servicing Agreement or Event of Default hereunder arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of the related Servicing Agreement and/or this Agreement, as applicable. 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 6.17 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 (i) so long as the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are not the same Person, shall promptly notify the Securities Administrator in writing, and (ii) shall promptly mail notice thereof by first class mail to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing on the Certificate Register.

Section 6.19 Action Upon Certain Failures of the Master Servicer and Upon Event of Default.

In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge of any action or inaction of the Master Servicer that would become an Event of Default upon the Master Servicer’s failure to remedy the same after notice, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Master Servicer.

The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D pursuant to this paragraph.

(iii) After preparing the Form 10-D, the Securities Administrator shall forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor for review.

The Securities Administrator shall not have any liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(iv) For clarification purposes, Citibank, N.A., as Securities Administrator, shall prepare and file the Form 10-D required to be filed for the monthly distribution period ending December 26, 2013 in accordance with this Section 6.21(a).

The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 6.21(d) related to the timely preparation and filing of a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is contingent upon each such party performing its duties under this Section. The Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Securities Administrator shall not file any Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K as to which it has received from the Depositor a notice to the effect that, upon review of the proposed filing, the Depositor does not approve of such filing.

In the event that an overall opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting firm shall state in such report why it was unable to express such an opinion. Such report must be available for general use and not contain restricted use language.

(b) Promptly after receipt of each Accountant’s Attestation from the Master Servicer, each Servicer, the Servicing Administrator, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such parties, (i) the Depositor shall review such reports and, if applicable, consult with such parties as to the nature of any defaults by such parties, in the fulfillment of any of each such party’s obligations hereunder or under any other applicable agreement, and (ii) the Securities Administrator shall confirm that each Assessment of Compliance is coupled with an Accountant’s Attestation meeting the requirements of this Section and notify the Depositor of any exceptions.

Section 6.25 Intention of the Parties and Interpretation; Indemnification.

Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Sections 6.21, 6.22, 6.23 and 6.24 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB promulgated by the Commission under the Exchange Act (17 C.F.R. §§ 229.1100 - 229.1123), as such may be amended from time to time and subject to such clarification and interpretive advice as may be issued by the staff of the Commission from time to time. Therefore, each of the parties agrees that (a) the obligations

of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted in such a manner as to accomplish that purpose, (b) the parties’ obligations hereunder will be supplemented and modified as necessary to be consistent with any such amendments, interpretive advice or guidance, convention or consensus among active participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise in respect of the requirements of Regulation AB, (c) each party shall comply with the reasonable requests made by the Depositor for delivery of such additional or different information as the Depositor may determine in good faith is necessary to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, which information is available to such party without unreasonable effort or expense and within such timeframe as may be reasonably requested, and (d) no amendment of this Agreement shall be required to effect any such changes in the parties’ obligations as are necessary to accommodate evolving interpretations of the provisions of Regulation AB.

Each of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian and any Servicing Function Participant engaged by any such party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its Affiliates and each of their directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon (a) any breach by such party of any of its obligations hereunder, including particularly its obligations to provide any Statement of Compliance, Assessment of Compliance or Accountant’s Attestation required under Sections 6.22, 6.23 and 6.24, respectively, or any information, data or materials required to be included in any Exchange Act report or (b) any material misstatement or material omission in any Statement of Compliance, Assessment of Compliance, Accountant’s Attestation delivered by it or by any Servicing Function Participation engaged by it pursuant to this Agreement or any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or Form 8-K Disclosure concerning such party. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor or its Affiliates, as the case may be, then each such party agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor and its Affiliates, as applicable, as a result of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party on the one hand and the indemnifying party on the other. This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any party to this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

PURCHASE OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND TERMINATION OF THE TRUST FUND

Section 7.01 Purchase of Mortgage Loans; Termination of Trust Fund Upon Purchase or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.

(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer created hereby (other than the obligation of the Securities Administrator to make payments to the Certificateholders as set forth in Section 7.02), shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property, (ii) the distribution of proceeds in connection with the exercise of the Clean-up Call and (iii) the Distribution Date immediately following the Latest Possible Maturity Date; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust Fund created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof. Any termination of the Trust Fund shall be carried out in such a manner so that the termination of each REMIC included therein shall qualify as a “qualified liquidation” under the REMIC Provisions.

(b) In connection with an exercise of the Clean-up Call, the Trustee, at the direction of the Securities Administrator, shall cause each REMIC to adopt a plan of complete liquidation by complying with the provisions of Section 7.03.

(c) The Depositor, the Master Servicer, each Servicer, the Servicing Administrator, the Securities Administrator and the Custodian shall be reimbursed from the Clean-up Call Price for any Advances, Servicing Advances, accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees, Securities Administrator Fees and Master Servicing Fees or other amounts (such as unpaid expenses of the Master Servicer, Securities Administrator or Trustee) with respect to the related Mortgage Loans that are payable or reimbursable to such parties under this Agreement, the related Servicing Agreement or the Custodial Agreement prior to distributions to any Certificateholder.

(d) On any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance is less than ten percent (10%) of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, the Master Servicer may terminate the Trust Fund by purchasing all of the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan for the Clean-up Call Price. The Master Servicer shall provide to the Securities Administrator not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of its intent to exercise its purchase and termination right under this Section 7.01(d) and comply with the requirements of this Article VII to effect a “qualified liquidation” under the REMIC Provisions. The Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee hereby consent to any such exercise.

Section 7.02 Procedure Upon Redemption and Termination of Trust Fund.

(a) If on any Determination Date the Master Servicer determines that there are no outstanding Mortgage Loans, and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the funds in the ~~Distribution~~Master Servicer Collection Account, the Master Servicer shall direct the Securities Administrator promptly to send a final distribution notice to each Certificateholder. Such notice shall specify (A) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates of all amounts required to be distributed to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.02 will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the Certificate Registrar’s Corporate Trust Office, and (B) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distribution being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar therein specified. The Securities Administrator shall give such notice to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Holders of the Certificates. Upon any such termination, the duties of the Certificate Registrar with respect to the Certificates shall terminate.

The Master Servicer shall remit any funds on deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account, net of any permitted withdrawals therefrom, to the Securities Administrator no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the final Distribution Date specified by the Securities Administrator.

Upon termination of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall terminate the Master Servicer Collection Account and the Securities Administrator shall terminate~~, or request the Master Servicer to terminate,~~ the Distribution Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates, subject to the ~~Securities Administrator’s~~ obligation of the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator hereunder to hold all amounts payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such payment.

(b) In the event that all of the Holders do not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within three months after the time specified in the termination notice, the Securities Administrator shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator may take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of such Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the amounts distributable to such Holders. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator shall, subject to applicable state law relating to escheatment, hold all amounts distributable to such Holders for the benefit of such Holders. No interest shall accrue on any amount held by the Securities Administrator and not distributed to a Certificateholder due to such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for payment of the final distribution thereon in accordance with this Section.

(c) Any reasonable expenses incurred by the Securities Administrator or the Trustee in connection with any redemption or termination or liquidation of the Trust Fund shall be reimbursed from proceeds received from the liquidation of the Trust Fund.

Section 7.03 Additional Trust Fund Termination Requirements.

(a) Any termination of the Trust Fund in connection with the Clean-up Call or involving any other sale of assets of the Trust Fund prior to the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund shall be effected in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Securities Administrator and the Trustee receive an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party exercising any right of termination), addressed to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee to the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this Section 7.03 will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event:

(i) Within 89 days prior to the time of the making of the final payment on the Certificates, upon notification that a party intends to exercise its option to cause the termination of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, at the direction of the Securities Administrator, shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation of the Trust Fund on behalf of each REMIC, meeting the requirements of a qualified liquidation under the REMIC Provisions, in the form prepared and provided by the party exercising its termination right in connection with a Clean-up Call or by the Depositor in connection with any other termination of the Trust Fund;

(ii) Any sale of the Mortgage Loans upon the exercise of a Clean-up Call shall be a sale for cash and shall occur at or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation and prior to the time of making of the final payment on or credit to the Certificates, and upon the closing of such a sale, the Trustee shall deliver or cause the Custodian to deliver the Mortgage Loans to the purchaser thereof as instructed by the party exercising the Clean-up Call;

(iii) On the date specified for final payment of the Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall make final distributions of principal and interest on the Certificates in accordance with Section 5.02 and, after payment of, or provision for payment of any outstanding expenses, distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates all cash on hand after such final payment (other than cash retained to meet claims), and the Trust Fund (and each REMIC) shall terminate at that time; and

(iv) In no event may the final payment on or credit to the Certificates or the final distribution or credit to the Holders of the Residual Certificates be made after the 89th day from the date on which the plan of complete liquidation is adopted.

Section 8.03 Acts of Holders of Certificates.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Holders or Certificate Owners, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator and, where expressly required herein, to the Master Servicer. Such instrument or instruments (as the action embodies therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as an “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments.

ARTICLE IX

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS BY THE MASTER SERVICER

Section 9.01 Duties of the Master Servicer; Enforcement of Servicer’s and Master Servicer’s Obligations.

(a) The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders shall, from and after the Closing Date, monitor the performance of the Servicers and the Servicing Administrator under the Servicing Agreements. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall consult with each Servicer and the Servicing Administrator as necessary from time to time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall receive and review all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by each Servicer and shall enforce the obligation of each Servicer and the Servicing Administrator duly and punctually to perform and observe the covenants, duties, obligations and conditions

to be performed or observed by such Servicer or the Servicing Administrator under the related Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor each Servicer’s servicing activities and the activities of the Servicing Administrator with respect to each related Mortgage Loan in respect of the provisions of the applicable Servicing Agreement, reconcile the reports and other data provided to the Master Servicer pursuant to the previous sentence on a monthly basis based on the Mortgage Loan data provided to the Master Servicer by or on behalf of the Depositor on the Closing Date (upon which data the Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely and with respect to which the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to confirm or verify) and coordinate corrective adjustments to the records of each Servicer and the Master Servicer, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, the Master Servicer shall provide such information to the Securities Administrator as shall be necessary in order for it to prepare the statements specified in Section 4.02, and prepare any other information and statements required to be forwarded by the Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of each Servicer to the ~~Distribution~~Master Servicer Collection Account pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, in accordance with each Servicing Agreement, oversee matters relating to the servicing of defaulted Mortgage Loans, including approving certain Mortgage Loan modifications, reviewing environmental reports related to foreclosed Mortgage Properties to determine whether to proceed with a foreclosure, approving certain actions relating to the management of REO Property and approving the release of the original borrower of a Mortgage Loan in connection with Mortgage Loan assumptions. The Master Servicer shall not approve any modification of a Mortgage Loan to extend the maturity date of such Mortgage Loan past the Latest Possible Maturity Date of the Certificates. In its review of the activities of any Servicer and the Servicing Administrator, the Master Servicer may rely upon an Officer’s Certificate of such Servicer or the Servicing Administrator (or similar document signed by an officer of such Servicer or the Servicing Administrator), and such Servicer’s or the Servicing Administrator’s Assessment of Compliance and related Accountant’s Attestation or other accountants’ report provided to the Master Servicer pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement, with regard to such Servicer’s or the Servicing Administrator’s compliance with the terms of its Servicing Agreement. Subject to Section 9.08, the Master Servicer shall not be responsible or liable for the ~~day-to-day~~day-to-day servicing activities of any Servicer or for any unlawful act or omission, breach, negligence, fraud, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Servicer.

Upon the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for termination of a Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Depositor thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Master Servicer is taking in respect of such default. So long as any such event of default shall be continuing, the Master Servicer may, and shall, if it determines such action to be in the best interests of Certificateholders, (i) terminate all of the rights and powers of such Servicer pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Servicing Agreement; (ii) exercise any rights it may have to enforce the Servicing Agreement against such Servicer; and/or (iii) waive any such default under the Servicing Agreement or take any other action with respect to such default as is permitted thereunder. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if the event of default is the failure of a Servicer or the Servicing Administrator to remit any payment required to be made under the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement, and such failure continues unremedied for the duration of the applicable grace period, then the Master Servicer shall terminate all of the rights and powers of such Servicer or the Servicing Administrator pursuant to the applicable provisions of the related Servicing Agreement, unless any waiver described under Section 6.16 shall have been obtained; provided that, upon the occurrence of such an event of default by the Servicing Administrator, the Master Servicer may, at its option, terminate all of the rights and powers of Cenlar FSB pursuant to the Cenlar FSB Servicing Agreement unless such a waiver has been obtained.

(b) Upon any termination by the Master Servicer of the rights and powers of a Servicer or the Servicing Administrator pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement, the rights and powers of the Servicer or the Servicing Administrator with respect to the related Mortgage Loans shall vest in the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to such Servicer or the Servicing Administrator in its capacity as Servicer or Servicing Administrator with respect to such Mortgage Loans under the related Servicing Agreement, unless or until the Master Servicer shall have appointed, with the consent of the Trustee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, a successor to the Servicer or the Servicing Administrator; provided that, with respect to the appointment of a successor servicer, in

accordance with the applicable provisions of the related Servicing Agreement, such successor servicer shall be a Xxxxxx Xxx- or Xxxxxxx Mac-approved Person that is a member in good standing of MERS; provided, further, that no Trustee consent shall be required if the successor servicer or successor servicing administrator is a Person that was a Servicer on the Closing Date; provided, further, that it is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to a successor servicer or a successor servicing administrator (including the Master Servicer). Upon appointment of a successor servicer or successor servicing administrator, as authorized under this Section 9.01(b), unless the successor servicer or successor servicing administrator shall have assumed the obligations of the terminated Servicer or the terminated Servicing Administrator, as applicable, under such Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and such successor servicer shall enter into a servicing agreement in a form substantially similar to the affected Servicing Agreement or into an agreement with such successor servicing administrator in a form mutually agreed upon by the parties thereto. In connection with any such appointment, the Master Servicer may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor servicer or successor servicing administrator as it and such successor shall agree. The Master Servicer in its sole discretion shall have the right to agree to compensation of a successor servicer in excess of that permitted to a Servicer under the Servicing Agreements if such increase is, in its good faith and judgment, necessary or advisable to engage a successor servicer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential between the amount of the Servicing Fee paid to the original servicer and the amount necessary to induce any successor servicer to act as successor servicer hereunder. To the extent the successor servicer assumes the obligations of the terminated Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer may amend such Servicing Agreement to effect such change to the Servicing Fee without the consent of the Certificateholders.

The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement (including the termination of any Servicer or the Servicing Administrator, the appointment of a successor servicer or successor servicing administrator or the transfer and assumption of the servicing or the servicing administration by the Master Servicer) at its own expense and shall be reimbursed therefor initially (i) by the terminated Servicer or terminated Servicing Administrator, as applicable, (ii) 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, (iii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorney’s fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed, or (iv) to the extent that such amounts described in (i)-(iii) above are not received by the Master Servicer within 30 days of the Master Servicer’s request for reimbursement therefor, from the Trust Fund, as provided in Section 9.04. To the extent the Master Servicer recovers amounts described in (i)-(iii) above subsequent to its reimbursement from the Trust Fund pursuant to (iv) above, then the Master Servicer promptly will reimburse such amounts to the Trust Fund.

If the Master Servicer assumes the servicing or servicing administration with respect to any of the Mortgage Loans, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of any Servicer or the Servicing Administrator being replaced or for the errors or omissions of such Servicer or the Servicing Administrator.

(c) Upon any termination of the rights and powers of any Servicer or the Servicing Administrator pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and each Rating Agency through the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, specifying in such notice that the Master Servicer or any successor servicer or successor servicing administrator, as the case may be, has succeeded the Servicer or the Servicing Administrator, as applicable, under the related Servicing Agreement, which notice shall also specify the name and address of any such successor servicer or successor servicing administrator .

Section 9.02 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 Event of Default under this Agreement), the Trustee shall thereupon, in accordance with the terms of Section 6.14 hereof, assume all of the rights and obligations of such Master Servicer hereunder and under each Servicing Agreement entered into with respect to the Mortgage Loans or

shall appoint as successor master servicer a Xxxxxx-Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac-approved servicer that is acceptable to the Depositor and each Rating Agency. The Trustee, its designee or any successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the replaced Master Servicer’s interest herein and, with respect to each Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed to have assumed all of the replaced Master Servicer’s interest therein to the same extent as if such Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party; provided that the replaced Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations of such replaced Master Servicer under such Servicing Agreement accruing prior to its replacement as Master Servicer, and shall be liable to the Trustee or any successor master servicer therefor, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee or any successor master servicer from and against all costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any successor master servicer as a result of such liability or obligations of the replaced Master Servicer and in connection with the Trustee’s or such successor master servicer’s assumption (but not its performance, except to the extent that costs or liability of the Trustee or any successor master servicer are created or increased as a result of negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of the replaced Master Servicer prior to its replacement as Master Servicer) of the Master Servicer’s obligations, duties or responsibilities thereunder.

(b) The replaced Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee but at the expense of such replaced Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Servicing Agreement and the related 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 each Servicing Agreement to the assuming party.

Section 9.03 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Master Servicer.

(a) The Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator (to the extent that the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are not the same Person) and the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, as of the Closing Date that:

(i) it is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America as a national banking association, and as Master Servicer has full power and authority to transact any and all business contemplated by this Agreement and to execute, deliver and comply with its obligations under the terms of this Agreement, the execution, delivery and performance of which have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Master Servicer;

(ii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Master Servicer and its performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not (A) violate the Master Servicer’s charter or bylaws, (B) violate any law or regulation or any administrative decree or order to which it is subject or (C) constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material contract, agreement or other instrument to which the Master Servicer is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its assets are subject, which violation, default or breach would materially and adversely affect the Master Servicer’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement;

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

(iv) the Master Servicer is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order or regulation of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency to the extent that any such default would materially and adversely affect its performance hereunder;

(v) the Master Servicer is not a party to or bound by any agreement or instrument or subject to any charter provision, bylaw or any other corporate restriction or any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, law or regulation that may materially and adversely affect its ability as Master Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement or that requires the consent of any third person to the execution of this Agreement or the performance by the Master Servicer of its obligations under this Agreement;

(vi) no litigation is pending or, to the best of the Master Servicer’s knowledge, threatened against the Master Servicer which would prohibit its entering into this Agreement or performing its obligations under this Agreement;

(vii) the Master Servicer, or an affiliate thereof the primary business of which is the servicing of conventional residential mortgage loans, is a Xxxxxx Mae- or Xxxxxxx Mac-approved seller/servicer;

(viii) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Master Servicer of or compliance by the Master Servicer with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except such consents, approvals, authorizations and orders (if any) as have been obtained; and

(ix) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the Master Servicer.

(b) It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. In addition to any indemnity required pursuant to Section 6.25 hereof, the Master Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the Securities Administrator (to the extent that the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are not the same Person) and the Trustee 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 material breach of the Master Servicer’s representations and warranties contained in Section 9.03(a) or any failure by the Master Servicer to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the enforcement of the obligation of the Master Servicer set forth in this Section to indemnify the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee as provided in this Section 9.03(b) constitutes the sole remedy (other than as set forth in Section 6.14) of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. Such indemnification shall survive any termination of the Master Servicer as Master Servicer hereunder, and any termination of this 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 9.03(b) shall accrue upon discovery of such breach by either the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee or written notice thereof by any one of such parties to the other parties.

The Master Servicer shall not be responsible for the validity, priority, perfection or sufficiency of the security of the Certificates issued or intended to be issued hereunder.

(c) The Master Servicer covenants and agrees that it shall not hold or purchase any Certificate if its holding or purchase of such Certificate (or interest therein) would cause the Master Servicer to be required to consolidate any assets of the Trust Fund on its financial statements under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“Consolidate” or “Consolidation”). The Master Servicer shall be deemed to have represented by virtue of its purchase or holding of such Certificate (or interest therein) that its holding or purchase of such Certificate (or interest therein) will not cause the Master Servicer to be required to Consolidate any assets of the Trust on its financial statements.

If the Master Servicer’s holding or purchase of a Certificate (or interest therein) does in fact cause such Consolidation, then the last preceding transferee that is not required to Consolidate shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as owner of such Certificate retroactive to the

date of such transfer of such Certificate. If the Master Servicer holds or purchases a Certificate (or interest therein) in violation of the restrictions in this Section 9.03(c) and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the owner of such Certificate as described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Securities Administrator shall have the right, without notice to the owner or any prior owner of such Certificate, to sell such Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Securities Administrator on such terms as the Securities Administrator may choose. The Master Servicer shall promptly endorse and deliver such Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Securities Administrator. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Securities Administrator or its affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, shall be remitted by the Securities Administrator to the Master Servicer. The terms and conditions of any sale under this Section 9.03(c) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Securities Administrator, and the Securities Administrator shall not be liable to any owner of a Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion. The Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and the Trust Fund from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such holding or purchase by the Master Servicer resulting in a Consolidation.

(d) The Master Servicer covenants and agrees that it shall not transfer its master servicing rights and duties under this Agreement to an insured depository institution, as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (an “insured depository institution”, and any such insured depository institution in such capacity, a “master servicer transferee”) unless the Master Servicer shall have received a representation from the master servicer transferee that the acquisition of such master servicing rights and duties will not cause the master servicer transferee to be required to Consolidate any assets of the Trust Fund on its financial statements. Any master servicer transferee shall be deemed to have represented by virtue of its acquisition of such master servicing rights and duties that such acquisition will not cause Consolidation. Any master servicer transferee whose acquisition of such master servicing rights and duties was effected in violation of the restrictions in this Section 9.03(d) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trust Fund from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition.

Section 9.04 Compensation to the Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be paid from the Trust Fund, and ~~shall either retain or~~to withdraw ~~from the Distribution~~such amounts from funds on deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account, (i) ~~its~~the Master Servicing Fee with respect to each Distribution Date, (ii) all amounts necessary to reimburse itself for any previously unreimbursed Advances, Servicer Advances and Nonrecoverable Advances in accordance with the definition of “Available Distribution Amount” and (iii) in accordance with the second paragraph of Section 9.01(b), the cost of any enforcement action taken by it under Section 9.01 hereof, including, without limitation, any costs incurred in connection with the termination of a Servicer or the Servicing Administrator, the appointment of a successor servicer or successor servicing administrator or the transfer and assumption of the servicing or servicing administration by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided in this Agreement.

In addition, the Depositor agrees, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Master Servicer, upon its request, for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Master Servicer in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), to the extent not otherwise reimbursed pursuant to this Agreement, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.

Section 9.05 Merger or Consolidation.

Any Person into which the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion, other change in form or consolidation to which the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Master Servicer, shall be the successor to

the Master Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or resulting Person to the Master Servicer or any Affiliate thereof whose primary business is the servicing of conventional residential mortgage loans shall be a Person that shall be qualified and approved to service mortgage loans for Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and shall have a net worth of not less than $15,000,000.

Section 9.06 Resignation of Master Servicer.

Except as otherwise provided in Sections 9.05 and 9.07 hereof, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it unless the Master Servicer’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it and such conflict 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.

If the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same Person, and if, at any time, the Master Servicer resigns under this Section 9.06, or transfers or assigns its rights and obligations under Section 9.07, or is removed as Master Servicer pursuant to Section 6.14, then at such time ~~Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A.~~the Securities Administrator also shall resign (and shall be entitled to resign) ~~as Securities Administrator, Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent and Certificate Registrar~~ under this Agreement. In such event, the obligations of each such party shall be assumed by the Trustee or such successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee (subject to the provisions of Section 9.02(a)).

Section 9.07 Assignment or Delegation of Duties by the Master Servicer.

Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall have the right with the prior written consent of the Trustee and the Depositor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), to delegate or assign to or subcontract with or authorize or appoint any qualified Person to perform and carry out any duties, covenants or obligations to be performed and carried out by the Master Servicer hereunder. Notice of such permitted assignment shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer to the Depositor and the Trustee. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master servicer, the entire amount of the Master Servicing Fee and other compensation payable to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor master servicer. Such successor master servicer shall also pay the fees of the ~~Trustee and the~~ Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Authenticating Agent, in each case as provided herein, and of the Custodian, as provided in the Custodial Agreement.

Section 9.08 Limitation on Liability of the Master Servicer and Others.

Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator 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 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

100

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 of 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 Fund and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the ~~Distribution~~Master Servicer Collection Account.

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

Section 9.09 Indemnification; Third-Party Claims.

In addition to any indemnity required pursuant to Section 6.25 hereof, the Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Depositor, the Securities Administrator (to the extent that the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are not the same Person) and the Trustee, and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liability, fees and expenses that the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee may sustain as a result of the Master Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Depositor, the Securities Administrator (to the extent that the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are not the same Person) and the Trustee shall immediately notify the Master Servicer if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans entitling the Depositor, the Securities Administrator (to the extent that the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are not the same Person) or the Trustee to indemnification under this Section 9.09, 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.

Section 9.10 Master Servicer Fidelity Bond and Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy.

The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity bond and an 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 errors and omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or trustees.

REMIC ADMINISTRATION

Section 10.01 REMIC Administration.

(a) REMIC elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement shall be made by the Trustee at the direction of the Securities Administrator 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 to this Agreement.

101

(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC within the meaning of section 86OG(a)(9) of the Code. The “latest possible maturity date” for each REMIC for purposes of Treasury Regulation 1.86OG-1(a)(4) will be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

(c) The Securities Administrator shall represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. 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 Distribution 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 required under Section 6.20 and this Section.

(d) The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file, and the Trustee shall sign, as instructed by the Securities Administrator, 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. In preparing such returns, the Securities Administrator shall, with respect to each REMIC created hereunder other than the Upper-Tier REMIC (each such REMIC, a “Non-Upper-Tier REMIC”): (i) treat the accrual period for interests in such Non-Upper-Tier REMIC as the calendar month; (ii) account for distributions made from such Non-Upper-Tier REMIC as made on the first day of each succeeding calendar month; (iii) use the aggregation method provided in Treasury Regulation section 1.1275-2(c); and (iv) account for income and expenses related to such Non-Upper-Tier REMIC in the manner resulting in the lowest amount of excess inclusion income possible accruing to the Holder of the residual interest in such Non-Upper-Tier REMIC.

(e) 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.

(f) The Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall, to the extent within their knowledge and control, take such actions as may be necessary to maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to maintain such status. None of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or 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 (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or not to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action (or inaction, as the case may be) will not cause 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,

102

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; provided, however, that if no Adverse REMIC Event would occur but such action could result in the imposition of additional taxes on the Residual Certificateholders, no such Person shall take any such action, or cause any REMIC to take any such action without the written consent of the other Residual Certificateholders. The Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer may consult with counsel (and conclusively rely upon the advice of such counsel) to make such written advice, and the cost of the same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not expressly permitted by this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee, Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer.

(g) 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 Securities Administrator or the Paying Agent 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 Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to holders of regular interests in any such REMIC, as the case may be.

(h) 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.

(i) No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

(j) None of the Trustee, 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.

(k) The Holder (or, if there is more than one such Holder, the Holder with the largest Percentage Interest) of the Class LT-R Certificate is hereby designated as “tax matters person” with respect to the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Holder of the Class R Certificate (or, if there is more than one such Holder, the Holder with the largest Percentage Interest) is hereby designated as “tax matters person” with respect to the Upper-Tier REMIC and each such Holder shall be deemed by the acceptance of its Certificate to have appointed the Securities Administrator to act as its agent to perform the duties of the “tax matters person” for each such REMIC.

Section 10.02 Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or 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 Fund, (iii) the termination of each REMIC pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement, (iv) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a sale of a Mortgage Loan to a governmental entity acquiring such Mortgage Loan through the exercise of its power of eminent domain pursuant to Section 2.08 of this Agreement, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Master Servicer Collection Account or the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC after the Closing Date, unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (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) adversely 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 Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement).

103

Section 10.03 Indemnification With Respect to Prohibited Transactions or Loss of REMIC Status.

Upon the occurrence of an Adverse REMIC Event due to the negligent performance by either the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall indemnify the Certificateholders of the related Residual Certificate against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that neither the Securities Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Holder of the Residual Certificate, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by any of the foregoing parties on which the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer, as applicable, has relied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer 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 under any Servicing Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of malfeasance, willful misconduct or negligent performance by the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer, as applicable, of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders of the related Residual Certificate (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).

Section 10.04 REO Property.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall not, except to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, knowingly permit any Servicer to rent, lease, or otherwise earn income on behalf of any REMIC with respect to any REO Property which might cause an Adverse REMIC Event unless the applicable Servicer has provided to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel concluding that, under the REMIC Provisions, such action would not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

(b) The Depositor shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement) to make reasonable efforts to sell any REO Property for its fair market value. In any event, however, the Depositor shall, or shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement) to, dispose of any REO Property within three years of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Depositor or the applicable Servicer (on behalf of the Trust Fund) has received an 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 causing an Adverse REMIC Event. If such an extension has been received, then the Depositor, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall, or shall cause the applicable 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 such an extension has not been received and the Depositor or the applicable Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust Fund hereunder, is unable to sell the REO Property within 33 months after its acquisition by the Trust Fund, or if such an extension has been received and the Depositor or the applicable Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of the Extended Period, the Depositor shall cause the applicable Servicer, before the end of the three year period or the Extended Period, as applicable, to (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 applicable 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.
