As promptly as practicable subsequent to such pledge, transfer and assignment, and in any event within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Master Servicer shall (i) affix the Trustee’s name to each assignment of Mortgage, as the assignee thereof, (ii) cause such assignment to be in proper form for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof and (iii) cause to be delivered for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records the assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee, except that, with respect to any assignment of a Mortgage as to which the Master Servicer has not received the information required to prepare such assignment in recordable form, the Master Servicer’s obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such recording shall be as soon as practicable after receipt of such information and in any event within thirty (30) days after the receipt thereof, and the Master Servicer need not cause to be recorded any assignment which relates to a Pledged Mortgage (a) the Mortgaged Property and Trustee Mortgage File relating to which are located in California or (b) in any other jurisdiction under the laws of which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered by the Issuer (at the Issuer’s expense) to the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.11 of the Indenture, the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s and the Bondholders’ interest in the related Pledged Mortgage.

In the case of Pledged Mortgages that have been prepaid in full as of the Closing Date, the Issuer, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the Trustee, will deposit in the Bond Account the portion of such payment that is required to be deposited in the Bond Account pursuant to Section 3(h).

Until the Bonds have been paid in full and the Issuer has otherwise fulfilled its obligations under the Indenture, the Trustee shall retain possession and custody of each Trustee Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture and this Agreement.

(ii) The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Trustee Mortgage Files, and that it holds or will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Estate, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Bondholders. The Trustee acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes in the State of , unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies.

The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the Issuer and the Master Servicer an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A. Based on its review and examination required by and in accordance with Sections 6.16 and 8.04 of the Indenture, and only as to the documents identified in such Initial Certification, the Trustee acknowledges that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Pledged Mortgage; provided that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to ascertain that, except the information set forth in items (i) through (iv) and (vi) of the Schedule of Pledged Mortgages, any information set forth in said schedule is accurate. The Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer and the Master Servicer a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.

If, in the course of such review, the Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a Trustee Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2(a)(i), the Trustee shall list such as an exception in the Final Certification; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) that any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. The Master Servicer shall promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was so notified of such defect and, if the Master Servicer does not correct or cure such defect within such period, the Master Servicer shall either (a) substitute for the related Pledged Mortgage a Replacement Pledged Mortgage, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2(d)(iv), or (b) purchase such Pledged Mortgage from the Trustee within 90 days from the date the Master Servicer was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase Price of such Pledged Mortgage. Any such substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit D. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The Purchase Price for any such Pledged Mortgage shall be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Bond Account on or prior to the Distribution Account Report Date in the month following the month of purchase and, upon receipt of such deposit and certification with respect thereto in the form of Exhibit D hereto, the Trustee shall release the related Trustee Mortgage File to the Master Servicer and shall execute and deliver at the Master Servicer’s request such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared

by the Master Servicer, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Master Servicer, or a designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Pledged Mortgage released pursuant hereto.

The Trustee shall retain possession and custody of each Trustee Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, upon the execution or receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents or instruments constituting the Trustee Mortgage File as come into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time.

It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Master Servicer to substitute for or to purchase any Pledged Mortgage which does not meet the requirements of Section 2(a)(i) shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Trustee and any Bondholder against the Master Servicer.

(b) Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Trustee Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Pledged Mortgage, or the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will immediately notify the Trustee by delivering, or causing to be delivered, a “Request for Release” substantially in the form of Exhibit D, all in accordance with Section 8.08(c) of the Indenture. Upon receipt of such request, the Trustee shall promptly release the related Trustee Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and the Trustee shall at the Master Servicer’s direction execute and deliver to the Master Servicer the request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage in each case provided by the Master Servicer, together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of cancellation thereon, all in accordance with Section 8.08(c) of the Indenture. Expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the related Mortgagor. From time to time and as shall be appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Pledged Mortgage, including for such purpose collection under any policy of flood insurance, any fidelity bond or errors or omissions policy, or for the purposes of effecting a partial release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage or the making of any corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or any of the other documents included in the Trustee Mortgage File, the Trustee shall, upon delivery to the Trustee in accordance with Section 8.08(c) of the Indenture of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit C signed by a Servicing Officer, release the Trustee Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or, at the Master Servicer’s direction, to the related Servicer. Subject to the further limitations set forth below, the Master Servicer shall cause the Trustee Mortgage File or documents so released to be returned to the Trustee when the need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless the Pledged Mortgage is liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in the Bond Account, in which case the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit D, signed by a Servicing Officer.

If the Master Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure proceeding in respect of any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, for signature, as appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action brought to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee as required by this Agreement and the Indenture all documents and

instruments relating to the Pledged Mortgages coming into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds received by the Master Servicer or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Pledged Mortgage. All Trustee Mortgage Files, including without limitation the Mortgage Documents contained therein, funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer from time to time in respect of any Pledged Mortgages, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, including but not limited to any funds on deposit in any Eligible Account and any other items constituting a part of the Trust Estate which from time to time come into the possession of the Master Servicer, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Bondholders as specified in Section 8.10 of the Indenture, and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture. The Master Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Trustee Mortgage File, Mortgage Documents or other documents relating to a Pledged Mortgage which are in the possession of the Master Servicer with respect to each Pledged Mortgage (each a “Master Servicer Mortgage File”) or any funds that are deposited in the Distribution Account, the Bond Account, any Eligible Account, Servicing Account or Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the Bondholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of set-off against any Master Servicer Mortgage File or Trustee Mortgage File or any funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer from time to time in respect of a Pledged Mortgage; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to set-off against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement.

(ii) The Master Servicer hereby acknowledges that concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Trustee has acquired and holds a security interest in the Trustee Mortgage Files and in all Pledged Mortgages represented by such Master Servicer Mortgage Files and Trustee Mortgage Files and in all funds now or hereafter held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer that are collected by the Master Servicer in connection with the Pledged Mortgages, whether as Scheduled Payments, as Principal Prepayments, or as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, and in all proceeds of the foregoing and proceeds of proceeds (but excluding any Master Servicing Fees, [Servicing Fees], Trustee Fees and any other amounts or reimbursements to which the Master Servicer is entitled under this Agreement). The Master Servicer agrees that so long as the Pledged Mortgages are assigned to the Trustee, all Master Servicer Mortgage Files and Trustee Mortgage Files (and any documents or instruments constituting a part of such files), and such funds which come into the possession or custody of, or which are subject to the control of, the Master Servicer shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee as the Trustee’s agent and bailee for purposes of perfecting the Trustee’s security interest therein, as provided by Section 9-305 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the state in which such property is located, or by other laws, as specified in Section 8.10 of the Indenture. The Master Servicer hereby accepts such agency and acknowledges that the Trustee, as secured party, will be deemed to have possession at all times of all Master Servicer Mortgage Files, Trustee Mortgage Files and any other documents or instruments constituting a part of such files, such funds and other items for purposes of Section 9-305 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the state in which such property is held by the Master Servicer.

(d) Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Issuer and the Master Servicer.

(i) , in its capacity as Master Servicer, hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule II hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Issuer and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date.

(ii) , in its capacity as Master Servicer, hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule III hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Issuer and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date.

(iii) The Issuer hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule IV hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, as of the Closing Date.

(iv) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii) that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Bondholders in any Pledged Mortgage, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to the other parties. The Master Servicer hereby covenants that within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party of a breach of any representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii) which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Bondholders, in any Pledged Mortgage, it shall cure such breach in all material respects, and if such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) remove such Pledged Mortgage (a “Deleted Pledged Mortgage”) from the Trust Estate and substitute in its place a Replacement Pledged Mortgage, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2(d); or (ii) purchase the affected Pledged Mortgage or Pledged Mortgages from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth below; provided, however, that any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit D, and the Trustee Mortgage File for any such Replacement Pledged Mortgage. The Issuer shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach. With respect to the representations and warranties described in this Section 2(d) which are made to the best of the Issuer’s knowledge, if it is discovered by either the Issuer or the Trustee that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the interests of the Bondholders therein, notwithstanding the Issuer’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty.

With respect to any Replacement Pledged Mortgage or Mortgages, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the Bondholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2(a), with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2(a). No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Scheduled Payments due with respect to Replacement Pledged Mortgages in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Estate and will be retained by the Master Servicer on the next succeeding Payment Date. For the month of substitution, Available Funds will include the monthly payment due on any Deleted Pledged Mortgage for such month and thereafter the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Pledged Mortgage.

The Master Servicer shall amend the Schedule of Pledged Mortgages for the benefit of the Bondholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted Pledged Mortgage or Mortgages and the substitution of the Replacement Pledged Mortgage or Mortgages and the Master Servicer shall deliver the amended Schedule of Pledged Mortgages to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Replacement Pledged Mortgage or Mortgages shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Replacement Pledged Mortgage or Mortgages, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii) with respect to such Pledged Mortgage or Mortgages. Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the Bond Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph, the Trustee shall release the Trustee Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Bondholders relating to such Deleted Pledged Mortgage or Mortgages to the Master

Servicer and shall execute and deliver at the Master Servicer’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Master Servicer, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest title in the Master Servicer, or its designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Pledged Mortgage or Mortgages substituted for pursuant to this Section 2(d).

For any month in which the Master Servicer substitutes one or more Replacement Pledged Mortgages for one or more Deleted Pledged Mortgages, the Master Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Replacement Pledged Mortgages as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Pledged Mortgages (after application of the scheduled principal portion of the monthly payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortage (the “Substitution Adjustment Amount”) shall be deposited into the Bond Account by the Master Servicer on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Payment Date in the month succeeding the calendar month during which the related Pledged Mortgage became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.

In the event that the Master Servicer shall have purchased a Pledged Mortgage, the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Bond Account pursuant to Section 3(h) and in compliance with the provisions of Section 8.04 of the Indenture on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Payment Date in the month following the month during which the Master Servicer became obligated hereunder to purchase or replace such Pledged Mortgage and upon such deposit of the Purchase Price and receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit D hereto, the Trustee shall release the related Trustee Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Bondholders to such Person, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at such Person’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee pursuant to Sections 8.08(c) and 8.12 of the Indenture. It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of any Person to cure, purchase or replace any Pledged Mortgage as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against such Persons respecting such breach available to Bondholders or the Trustee on their behalf.

The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2(d) shall survive delivery of the respective Trustee Mortgage Files to the Trustee for the benefit of the Bondholders.

(e) Covenants of the Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer hereby covenants to the Issuer and the Trustee as follows:

(i) the Master Servicer shall comply in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of the insurer under each Required Insurance Policy; and

(ii) no written information, certificate of an officer, statement furnished in writing or written report delivered to the Issuer, any affiliate of the Issuer or the Trustee and prepared by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make such information, certificate, statement or report not misleading.

3. GENERAL DUTIES OF THE MASTER SERVICER.

The parties agree that, subject to the provisions of Section 7 hereof, the Master Servicer shall service the Pledged Mortgages in the manner and on the terms and conditions set forth below:

(a) Master Servicer to Service Pledged Mortgages.

For and on behalf of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Bondholders, the Master Servicer shall service and administer the Pledged Mortgages in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan servicers. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through Servicers as provided in Section 3(b), to do or cause to be done any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration, including but not limited to, the power and authority, subject to the terms hereof, (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Bondholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Pledged Mortgage; provided that the Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any Servicer to take, any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trustee or the Bondholders in any Pledged Mortgage or the rights and interests of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Bondholders under this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trustee in the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Pledged Mortgage. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer, in its own name or in the name of any Servicer or the Issuer and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Issuer and the Trustee, when the Master Servicer or the Servicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Issuer, the Bondholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Pledged Mortgages and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Trustee and the Bondholders. The Master Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Issuer and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by either or both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to service and administer the Pledged Mortgages to the extent that the Master Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of such documents, the Issuer and/or the Trustee shall execute such documents and deliver them to the Master Servicer.

In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3(i), and further as provided in Section 3(k). The costs incurred by the Master Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating payments to the Bondholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balances of the related Pledged Mortgages, notwithstanding that the terms of such Pledged Mortgages so permit.

(b) Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of Servicers.

(i) The Master Servicer may arrange for the servicing of any Pledged Mortgage by a Servicer pursuant to a Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that such servicing arrangement and the terms of the related Servicing Agreement must provide for the servicing of such Pledged Mortgages in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder. Each Servicer of a Pledged Mortgage shall be entitled to receive and retain, as provided in the related Servicing Agreement and in Section 5(a), the related Servicing Fee from payments of interest received on such Pledged Mortgage after payment of all amounts required to be remitted to the Master Servicer in respect of such Pledged Mortgage. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer in servicing the Pledged Mortgages include actions taken or to be taken by a Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer. With the approval of the Master Servicer, a Servicer may delegate its servicing obligations to third-party servicers, but such Servicer will remain obligated under the related Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer and Servicer may enter

into amendments to the related Servicing Agreement or a different form of Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement in a manner which would materially and adversely affect the interests of the Trustee and the Bondholders.

(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the Pledged Mortgages that are received by a Servicer regardless of whether such payments are remitted by the Servicer to the Master Servicer.

(iii) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Bondholders, shall use its best reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, to the extent that the non-performance of any such obligation would have material and adverse effect on a Pledged Mortgage. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Servicing Agreements and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Pledged Mortgages. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Pledged Mortgage or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.

The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Servicing Agreement that may exist in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Servicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of termination of any Servicing Agreement by the Master Servicer or the Servicer, the Master Servicer shall either act as servicer of the related Pledged Mortgage or enter into a Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer which will be bound by the terms of the related Servicing Agreement. If the Master Servicer or any affiliate of the Master Servicer acts as servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer which it replaces. If the Master Servicer enters into a Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the successor Servicer assume liability for the representations and warranties made by the terminated Servicer in respect of the related Pledged Mortgages and, in the event of any such assumption by the successor Servicer, the Master Servicer may, in the exercise of its business judgment, release the terminated Servicer from liability for such representations and warranties.

(d) Liability of the Master Servicer.

Notwithstanding any Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer or a Servicer or references to actions taken through a Servicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee and Bondholders for the servicing and administering of the Pledged Mortgages in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(a) without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Servicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Pledged Mortgages. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Servicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

(e) No Contractual Relationship Between Servicers and the Trustee.

Any Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or services relating to the Pledged Mortgages involving a Servicer in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between the Servicer and the Master Servicer alone and the Trustee and Bondholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Servicer in its capacity as such except as set forth in Section 3(g).

(f) Rights of the Issuer and the Trustee in Respect of the Master Servicer.

The Issuer may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer hereunder and in connection with any such defaulted obligation to exercise the related rights of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Issuer or its designee. Neither the Trustee nor the Issuer shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer nor shall the Trustee or the Issuer be obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer hereunder or otherwise.

(g) Trustee to Act as Master Servicer.

In the event that the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer hereunder (including by reason of a Servicing Default), the Trustee or its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder arising thereafter, except that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3(l) or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer hereunder, (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law, (iii) obligated to effectuate purchases or substitutions of Pledged Mortgages hereunder, including but not limited to purchases or substitutions pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) or 2(d)(iv), (iv) responsible for expenses of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 2(d)(iv) or (v) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of the Master Servicer hereunder. Any such assumption shall be subject to Section 7(b). If the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Servicing Default), the Trustee or its successor shall succeed to any rights of the Master Servicer under each Servicing Agreement and any obligations of the Master Servicer under each Servicing Agreement arising thereafter. The Trustee or the successor Master Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to any Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer as contemplated by Section 3(b) to the same extent as if such Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party except that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any liability or obligations under any such Servicing Agreement.

The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Servicing Agreement or substitute servicing agreement and the Pledged Mortgages then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the substitute Servicing Agreement to the assuming party.

(h) Collection of Pledged Mortgage Payments; Eligible Accounts; Servicing Accounts; Bond Account.

(i) The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Pledged Mortgages to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Required Insurance Policy. Consistent

with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or any prepayment charge or penalty interest in connection with the prepayment of a Pledged Mortgage and (ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 120 days; provided, however, that the Master Servicer cannot extend the maturity of any such Pledged Mortgage past the date on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Pledged Mortgage as of the Cut-off Date. In the event of any such arrangement, the Master Servicer shall make Advances on the related Pledged Mortgage in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Pledged Mortgage without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements. The Master Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required is prohibited by applicable law.

(ii) In those cases where a Servicer is servicing Pledged Mortgages pursuant to a Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer, pursuant to the respective Servicing Agreement, to establish and maintain one or more Servicing Accounts, each of which shall be an Eligible Account. The Servicer will be required under its Servicing Agreement to deposit into the Servicing Account on a daily basis no later than the Business Day following receipt all proceeds of Pledged Mortgages received by the Servicer, less its Servicing Fees and unreimbursed Servicer Advances and expenses, to the extent permitted by the Servicing Agreement. The Servicer shall not be required to deposit in the Servicing Account payments or collections in the nature of prepayment charges or late charges.

(iii) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Collection Account, which shall be an Eligible Account, into which the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on or before each Withdrawal Date payments, collections and Servicer Advances remitted by Servicers in respect of the Pledged Mortgages.

(iv) On or before the Withdrawal Date in each calendar month, the Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer, pursuant to its Servicing Agreement, to remit to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account all funds held in the Servicing Account with respect to each Pledged Mortgage serviced by such Servicer that are required to be remitted to the Master Servicer. The Servicer will also be required, pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, to advance on or before each such Withdrawal Date amounts equal to any Scheduled Payments (net of its Servicing Fees with respect thereto) not received on any Pledged Mortgages by the Servicer (such amount, a “Servicer Advance”). The Servicer’s obligation to advance with respect to each Pledged Mortgage will continue up to and including the first day of the month following the date on which the related Mortgaged Property is sold at a foreclosure sale or is acquired by the Issuer by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. All such Servicer Advances received by the Master Servicer shall be deposited promptly by it in the Collection Account or the Bond Account, as appropriate.

Within five Business Days after the receipt by a Servicer of a Principal Prepayment in Full or any Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds (not required to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property), the Master Servicer shall cause such Servicer, pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement, to remit such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account.

(v) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Bond Account, which shall be an Eligible Account, into which the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis within one Business Day of receipt, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following payments and collections remitted by Servicers or received by it in respect of Pledged Mortgages subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest due on the

Pledged Mortgages on or before the Cut-off Date) and the following amounts required to be deposited hereunder:

(A) all payments on account of principal on the Pledged Mortgages, including Principal Prepayments and the principal component of any Servicer Advance;

(B) all payments on account of interest on the Pledged Mortgages, net of the sum of the related Master Servicing Fee and related Servicing Fee, and the interest component of any Servicer Advance;

(C) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (net of any related expenses of the related Servicer), other than proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer’s normal servicing procedures;

(D) any amount required to be deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3(h)(vii) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments;

(E) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to Sections 3(l) and 3(n);

(F) all Purchase Prices from the Master Servicer and all Substitution Adjustment Amounts;

(G)all Advances made by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4; and

(H) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.

[In addition, on or prior to the last day of the month in which the Closing Date occurs, the Issuer shall cause an amount equal to $ to be deposited in the Bond Account, such amount to be treated as a Principal Prepayment in Full of a Pledged Mortgage.]

(vi) In addition, with respect to any Pledged Mortgage that is subject to a buydown agreement, on each Due Date for such Pledged Mortgage, in addition to the monthly payment remitted by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall cause funds to be deposited into the Bond Account in an amount required to cause an amount of interest to be paid with respect to such Pledged Mortgage equal to the amount of interest that has accrued on such Pledged Mortgage from the preceding Due Date at the Mortgage Rate net of the Master Servicing Fee on such date.

The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Master Servicer shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of prepayment penalties, late payment charges or assumption fees, if collected, need not be remitted by the Master Servicer. In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the Bond Account to withdraw such amount from the Bond Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by delivering written notice thereof to the Trustee or such other institution maintaining the Bond Account which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Bond Account. The Master Servicer shall maintain adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section 3(h)(vi). All funds deposited in the Bond Account shall be held in trust for the Bondholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3(k).

(vii) On or prior to each Distribution Account Deposit Date, after payment of any amount described in Section 6.17 of the Indenture, as well as any amounts owed to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07 of the Indenture, the Master Servicer will withdraw from the Bond Account the Bond Distribution Amount, to the extent of Available Funds, and will deposit such amount in the Distribution Account.

(viii) On each Payment Date, after payment of any amount described in Section 6.17 of the Indenture, as well as any amounts owed to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07 of the Indenture, the Master Servicer shall withdraw the Available Funds remaining on deposit in the Bond Account, after giving effect to the withdrawal therefrom pursuant to Section 3(h)(vii) above, and pay such funds to the Certificate Paying Agent for application in the following order of priority and, in each case, to the extent of funds remaining:

(1) to the Investor Certificates, an amount allocable to interest equal to the Certificate Interest Payment Amount for such Payment Date;

(2) to the Investor Certificates, an amount allocable to principal equal to the Invested Amount Payment for such Date; and

(3) to the holders of the Investor Certificates, the balance of any Available Funds remaining in the Bond Account.

With respect to each Payment Date, the amounts described in clause (1) of this Section 3(h)(viii) for such Payment Date shall be reduced by the Investor Certificates’ pro rata share (based on the Interest Payment Amount of the Investor Certificates before reduction pursuant to this Section 3(h)(viii)) of each (A) Relief Act Reduction incurred during the calendar month preceding the month of such Payment Date and (B) Prepayment Interest Shortfalls. In addition, with respect to each Payment Date, the amounts described in clauses (2) and (3) of this Section 3(h)(viii) for such Payment Date shall be reduced by an amount equal to the excess, if any, of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, after giving effect to the reduction described in the immediately preceding sentence, over the Master Servicing Fee for such payment date.

(ix) Each institution at which the Bond Account, the Distribution Account or the Collection Account is maintained shall invest the funds therein as directed in writing by the Master Servicer in Permitted Investments, which shall mature not later than (i) in the case of the Bond Account, the second Business Day next preceding the related Distribution Account Deposit Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the Business Day next preceding such Distribution Account Deposit Date), (ii) in the case of the Collection Account, the next Business Day and (iii) in the case of the Distribution Account, the Business Day next preceding the related Payment Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such Payment Date) and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Bondholders. All income and gain (net of any losses) realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Bond Account, the Distribution Account or the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly as provided herein. The amount of any realized losses in the Bond Account, the Distribution Account or the Collection Account incurred in any such account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Bond Account, the Distribution Account or the Collection Account, as applicable. The Trustee in its fiduciary capacity shall not be liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment or lack of investment of funds held in the Bond Account, the Distribution Account or the Collection Account and made in accordance with this Section 3(h)(ix).

(x) The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Issuer and each Rating Agency of any proposed change of the location of the Bond Account not later than 30 days and not more than 45 days prior to any change thereof.

(i) Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts.

(i) To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not violative of current law, the Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer to establish and maintain one or more accounts (each, an “Escrow Account”) and deposit and retain therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or advances by the Servicer) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require the Master Servicer or any Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law.

(ii) Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse the Master Servicer or the related Servicer out of related collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections 3(l) (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance premiums) and 3(m) (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors any sums determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account or to clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8(a). The Escrow Accounts shall not be a part of the Trust Estate.

(iii) The Master Servicer shall advance any payments referred to in Section 3(i)(i) that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors or advanced by the Servicers on the date when the tax, premium or other cost for which such payment is intended is due, but the Master Servicer shall be required so to advance only to the extent that such advances, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer, will be recoverable by the Master Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise.

(j) Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Pledged Mortgages.

The Master Servicer shall afford, or shall cause the Servicers to afford, the Issuer and the Trustee reasonable access to all records and documentation regarding the Pledged Mortgages and all accounts, insurance information and other matters relating to this Agreement, such access being afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the office designated by the Master Servicer.

Upon reasonable advance notice in writing, the Master Servicer will provide, or will cause the Servicers to provide, to each Bondholder which is a savings and loan association, bank or insurance company certain reports and reasonable access to information and documentation regarding the Pledged Mortgages sufficient to permit such Bondholder to comply with applicable regulations of the OTS or other regulatory authorities with respect to investment in the Bonds; provided that the Master Servicer and any Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each such Bondholder for actual expenses incurred by the Master Servicer or such Servicer in providing such reports and access.

(k) Permitted Withdrawals from the Bond Account.

The Master Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the Bond Account for the following purposes:

(i) to pay to the Master Servicer or the related Servicer (to the extent not previously retained), the servicing compensation to which it is entitled pursuant to

Section 5(a), and to pay to the Master Servicer, as additional master servicing compensation, earnings on or investment income with respect to funds in or credited to the Bond Account;

(ii) to reimburse the Master Servicer or the related Servicer for unreimbursed Advances or Servicer Advances made by it, such right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the Pledged Mortgage(s) in respect of which any such Advance or Servicer Advance was made;

(iii) to reimburse the Master Servicer for any Nonrecoverable Advance previously made;

(iv) to reimburse the Master Servicer for Insured Expenses from the related Insurance Proceeds;

(v) to reimburse the Master Servicer for (A) unreimbursed Servicing Advances, the Master Servicer’s right to reimbursement pursuant to this clause (A) with respect to any Pledged Mortgage being limited to amounts received on such Pledged Mortgage(s) which represent late recoveries of the payments for which such advances were made pursuant to Section 3(a) or Section 3(i) and (B) for unpaid Master Servicing Fees as provided in Section 3(n);

(vi) to pay to the purchaser, with respect to each Pledged Mortgage or property acquired in respect thereof that has been pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii), 2(d)(iv) or 3(n), all amounts thereon after the date of such purchase;

(vii) to reimburse the Master Servicer for expenses incurred by it and reimbursable pursuant to Section 6(c) and to pay the Trustee amounts due to it pursuant to Section 6.07(2) and (3) of the Indenture;

(viii) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Bond Account and not required to be deposited therein;

(ix) on or prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date, withdraw an amount equal to the related Bond Distribution Amount and the Trustee Fee for such Payment Date, to the extent on deposit, and remit such amount to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account; and

(x) to clear and terminate the Bond Account upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8(a).

The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Pledged Mortgage by Pledged Mortgage basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Bond Account pursuant to such subclauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v) and (vi). Prior to making any withdrawal from the Bond Account pursuant to subclause (iii), the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount of any previous Advance determined by the Master Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the related Pledged Mortgage(s) and their respective portions of such Nonrecoverable Advance.

(l) Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Maintenance of Primary Insurance Policies.

(i) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained, for each Pledged Mortgage, hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (A)

the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Pledged Mortgage or (B) the greater of (y) the outstanding principal balance of the Pledged Mortgage and (z) an amount such that the proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. Each such policy of standard hazard insurance shall contain, or have an accompanying endorsement that contains, a standard mortgagee clause. To the extent it may do so without breaching the related Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall replace any Servicer that does not cause such insurance, to the extent it is available, to be maintained. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies (other than the amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or amounts released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer’s normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the Bond Account or the related Servicing Account, as applicable. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or any Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating payments to the Bondholders or remittances to the Trustee for their benefit, be added to the principal balance of the Pledged Mortgage, notwithstanding that the terms of the Pledged Mortgage so permit. Such costs shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer out of late payments by the related Mortgagor or out of Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section 3(k). It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property is located at the time of origination of the Pledged Mortgage in a federally designated special flood hazard area and such area is participating in the national flood insurance program, the Master Servicer shall cause flood insurance to be maintained with respect to such Pledged Mortgage. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the least of (A) the original principal balance of the related Pledged Mortgage, (B) the replacement value of the improvements which are part of such Mortgaged Property, and (C) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program.

In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the Pledged Mortgages, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3(l)(i), it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause on terms substantially equivalent to those commercially available and maintained by comparable servicers. If such policy contains a deductible clause, the Master Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with the first sentence of this Section 3(l)(i), and there shall have been a loss that would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Bond Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as Master Servicer of the Pledged Mortgages, the Master Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Issuer and the Trustee for the benefit of the Bondholders, claims under any such blanket policy.

(ii) The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any Servicer to take, any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Master Servicer or any Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Bonds and is required to be kept in force hereunder unless the replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy is maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain any Primary Insurance Policy with respect to any Pledged Mortgage with a Loan-to-Value Ratio less than or equal to 80% as of any date of determination or, based on a new appraisal, the principal balance of such Pledged Mortgage represents 80% or less of the new Appraised Value. The Master Servicer agrees to effect the timely payment of the premiums on each Primary Insurance Policy, and such costs not otherwise recoverable shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer from the related liquidation proceeds.

In connection with its activities as Master Servicer of the Pledged Mortgages, the Master Servicer agrees to present, or cause the related Servicer to present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the

Bondholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Pledged Mortgages. Any amounts collected by a Servicer or the Master Servicer under any Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Servicing Account, the Collection Account or the Bond Account, as applicable.

(m) Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

(i) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3(m), when any property subject to a Mortgage has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer or the related Servicer shall, to the extent that it has knowledge of such conveyance, enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations, but only to the extent that such enforcement will not adversely affect or jeopardize coverage under any Required Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the related Servicer is required to exercise such rights with respect to a Pledged Mortgage if the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed satisfies the terms and conditions contained in the Mortgage Note and Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage as a condition to such transfer. In the event that (A) the Master Servicer or the related Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any such due-on-sale clause, (B) coverage under any Required Insurance Policy would be adversely affected, (C) the Mortgage Note does not include a due-on-sale clause or (D) nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Master Servicer is authorized, subject to Section 3(m)(ii), to take or enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon, provided that the Pledged Mortgage shall continue to be covered (if so covered before the Master Servicer enters such agreement) by the applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Master Servicer, subject to Section 3(m)(ii), is also authorized with the prior approval of the insurers under any Required Insurance Policies to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this Section 3(m) by reason of any transfer or assumption which he Master Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.

(ii) Subject to the Master Servicer’s duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent set forth in Section 3(m)(i), in any case in which a Mortgaged Property has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the Pledged Mortgage, the Master Servicer shall prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee for signature and shall direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute the assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note may be changed. In addition, the substitute Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property must be acceptable to the Master Servicer in accordance with its underwriting standards as then in effect. Together with each such substitution, assumption or other agreement or instrument delivered to the Trustee for execution by it, the Master Servicer shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the requirements of this subsection have been met in connection therewith. The Master Servicer shall notify, or cause the related Servicer to notify, the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding

to the Trustee the original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which in the case of the original shall be added to the related Trustee Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Trustee Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer or any Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Master Servicer as additional master servicing compensation.

(n) Realization Upon Defaulted Pledged Mortgages; Purchase of Certain Pledged Mortgages.

The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Pledged Mortgages as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and as shall meet the requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any property unless it shall determine (A) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Pledged Mortgage after reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (B) that such expenses will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Bond Account). The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the liquidation proceeds with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, as provided in the definition of Liquidation Proceeds. If the Master Servicer has knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which the Master Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is located within a 1 mile radius of any site listed in the Expenditure Plan for the Hazardous Substance Clean Up Bond Act of 1984 or other site with environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer will, prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider such risks and only take action in accordance with its established environmental review procedures.

With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Bondholders, or its nominee, on behalf of the Bondholders. The Trustee’s name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee under the Indenture and not in its individual capacity. The Master Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references the Indenture and the Trustee’s capacity thereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Master Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Bondholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Bondholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in the Bond Account no later than the close of business on each Determination Date. The Master Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and withholding required by Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code with respect to foreclosures and abandonments, the tax reporting required by Section 6050H of the Code with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest from individuals and, if required by Section 6050P of the Code with respect to the cancellation of indebtedness by certain financial entities, by preparing such tax and information returns as may be required, in the form required, and delivering the same to the Trustee for filing.

The decision of the Master Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Pledged Mortgage shall be subject to a determination by the Master Servicer that the proceeds of such foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a proceeding. The income earned from the management of any REO Properties, net of reimbursement to the Master Servicer for expenses incurred (including any property or

other taxes) in connection with such management and net of unreimbursed Master Servicing Fees, Servicing Fees, Advances, Servicer Advances and Servicing Advances, shall be applied to the payment of principal of and interest on the related defaulted Pledged Mortgages (with interest accruing as though such Pledged Mortgages were still current and adjustments, if applicable, to the Mortgage Rate were being made in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Note) and all such income shall be deemed, for all purposes in this Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the Bond Account. To the extent the net income received during any calendar month is in excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the related Pledged Mortgage for such calendar month, such excess shall be considered to be a partial prepayment of principal of the related Pledged Mortgage.

The proceeds from any liquidation of a Pledged Mortgage, as well as any income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer or the related Servicer for any related unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances, Master Servicing Fees and Servicing Fees, as applicable; second, to reimburse the Master Servicer or the related Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances or Servicer Advances, as applicable, and to reimburse the Bond Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that were previously withdrawn by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3(k)(iii) that related to such Pledged Mortgage; third, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance or Servicer Advance has been made for such amount or any such Advance or Servicer Advance has been reimbursed) on the Pledged Mortgage or related REO Property at the Net Mortgage Rate to the Due Date occurring in the month in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Pledged Mortgage. Excess Proceeds, if any, from the liquidation of a Liquidated Pledged Mortgage will be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section 5(a).

The Master Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to purchase for its own account from the Issuer any Pledged Mortgage which is 91 days or more delinquent at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for any Pledged Mortgage purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Bond Account and the Trustee, upon receipt of a certificate from the Master Servicer in the form of Exhibit D hereto, shall release or cause to be released to the purchaser of such Pledged Mortgage the related Trustee Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the purchaser of such Pledged Mortgage, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the purchaser of such Pledged Mortgage any Pledged Mortgage released pursuant hereto and the purchaser of such Pledged Mortgage shall succeed to all the Issuer’s and the Trustee’s right, title and interest in and to such Pledged Mortgage and all security and documents related thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. The purchaser of such Pledged Mortgage shall thereupon own such Pledged Mortgage, and all security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Issuer, the Trustee or the Bondholders with respect thereto.

(o) Access to Certain Documentation.

The Master Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to comparable regulatory authorities supervising Holders of Subordinated Bonds and the examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS, the FDIC and such other authorities, access to the documentation regarding the Pledged Mortgages required by applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices designated by the Master Servicer. Nothing in this Section 3(o) shall limit the obligation of the Master Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Master Servicer or any Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3(o) as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3(o).

(p) Master Servicer Annual Statement of Compliance.

The Master Servicer shall deliver (and the Master Servicer shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to deliver) to the Manager and the Trustee on or before March 10 (with a 5 calendar day cure period) of each year, commencing in March 200_, an Officer’s Certificate stating, as to the signer thereof, that (A) a review of such party’s activities during the preceding calendar year or portion thereof and of such party’s performance under this Agreement, or such other applicable agreement in the case of a Servicing Function Participant, has been made under such officer’s supervision and (B) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, such party has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement, or such other applicable agreement in the case of a Servicing Function Participant, in all material respects throughout such year or portion thereof, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Promptly after receipt of each such Officer’s Certificate, the Manager shall review such Officer’s Certificate and, if applicable, consult with each such party, as applicable, as to the nature of any failures by such party, in the fulfillment of any of such party’s obligations hereunder or, in the case of a Servicing Function Participant, under such other applicable agreement.

(q) Master Servicer Assessments of Compliance and Attestation Reports.

(i) By March 10 (with a 5 calendar day cure period) of each year, commencing in March 200_, the Master Servicer, at its own expense, shall furnish, and shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to furnish, each at its own expense, to the Manager and the Trustee, a report on an assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria that contains (A) a statement by such party of its responsibility for assessing compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, (B) a statement that such party used the Servicing Criteria to assess compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, (C) such party’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria as of and for the fiscal year covered by the Form 10-K required to be filed pursuant to Section 8.07(b) of the Indenture, including, if there has been any material instance of noncompliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, a discussion of each such failure and the nature and status thereof, and (D) a statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on such party’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria as of and for such period.

(ii) By March 10 (with a 5 calendar day cure period) of each year, commencing in March 200_, the Master Servicer, at its own expense, shall cause, and shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to cause, each at its own expense, a registered public accounting firm (which may also render other services to the Master Servicer or such other Servicing Function Participants, as the case may be) and that is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a report to the Manager and the Trustee, to the effect that (i) it has obtained a representation regarding certain matters from the management of such party, which includes an assertion that such party has complied with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the PCAOB, it is expressing an opinion as to whether such party’s compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria was fairly stated in all material respects, or it cannot express an overall opinion regarding such party’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria. 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.

Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to Section 3(g), act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Pledged Mortgages as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the Master Servicing Fee permitted the Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it.

Any successor to the Master Servicer as master servicer shall give notice to the Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service as master servicer, maintain in force the policy or policies that the Master Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to Section 3(r).

To the best of ’s knowledge, all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities, unless the lack thereof would not have a material adverse effect on the value of such Mortgaged Property, and the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law.

(16) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms and under applicable law. To the best of ’s knowledge, all parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to execute the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties.

(17) The proceeds of the Pledged Mortgage have been fully disbursed, there is no requirement for future advances thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site

III-2

improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making, or closing or recording the Pledged Mortgages were paid.

(18) The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure.

(19) With respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in such Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Trust Estate to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor.

(20) Each Mortgage Note and each Mortgage is in substantially one of the forms acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, with such riders as have been acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, as the case may be.

(21) There exist no deficiencies with respect to escrow deposits and payments, if such are required, for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made, and no escrow deposits or payments of other charges or payments due ___have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note.

(22) The origination, underwriting and collection practices used by the Master Servicer with respect to each Pledged Mortgage have been in all respects legal, prudent and customary in the Mortgage lending and servicing business.

(23) There is no pledged account or other security other than real estate securing the Mortgagor’s obligations.

(24) No Pledged Mortgage has a shared appreciation feature, or other contingent interest feature.

(25) Each Pledged Mortgage is assumable if the proposed transferee submits certain information required to evaluate the transferee’s ability to repay the Pledged Mortgage and the holder of the Mortgage Note reasonably determines that the security for the Pledged Mortgage would not be impaired by the assumption.

(26) None of the Pledged Mortgages provides for a prepayment penalty.

(27) Except with respect to ___Pledged Mortgages representing approximately ___% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance, each Pledged Mortgage which had a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 80% is the subject of a Primary Insurance Policy that insures that portion of the original principal balance of the related Pledged Mortgage equal to the product of the original principal balance thereof and a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess of the original principal balance of the related Pledged Mortgage over 75% of the lesser of the appraised value and selling price of the related Mortgaged Property and the denominator of which is the original principal balance of the related Pledged Mortgage, plus accrued interest thereon and related foreclosure expenses. Each such Primary Insurance Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer acceptable to each of the Rating Agencies. All provisions of any such Primary Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, any such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage subject to any such Primary Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Rate for each Pledged Mortgage is net of any such insurance premium.

III-3

(28) At the Cut-off Date, the improvements upon each Mortgaged Property are covered by a valid and existing hazard insurance policy with a generally acceptable carrier that provides for fire and extended coverage and coverage for such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Pledged Mortgage or (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Pledged Mortgage and (b) an amount such that the proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the condominium unit. All such individual insurance policies and all flood policies referred to in item (29) below contain a standard mortgagee clause naming or the original mortgagee, and its successors in interest, as mortgagee, and has received no notice that any premiums due and payable thereon have not been paid; the Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance including flood insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and upon the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.

(29) If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy in a form meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Flood Insurance Administration is in effect with respect to such Mortgaged Property with a generally acceptable carrier in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (A) the original outstanding principal balance of the Pledged Mortgage, (B) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis, or (C) the maximum amount of insurance that is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended.

(30) To the best of ’s knowledge, there is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of any Mortgaged Property, nor is such a proceeding currently occurring.

(31) There is no material monetary default existing under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and, to the best of the Issuer’s knowledge, there is no material event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note; and has not waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.

(32) Other than with respect to Mortgaged Property underlying a Cooperative Loan, each Mortgaged Property is improved by a one- to four-family residential dwelling including condominium units and dwelling units in PUDs, which, to the best of ’s knowledge, does not include mobile homes and does not constitute other than real property under state law.

(33) Each Pledged Mortgage is being serviced by the Master Servicer or a Servicer as provided in Section 3(b) of the Master Servicing Agreement.

(34) There is no obligation on the part of the Issuer or any other party under the terms of the Mortgage or related Mortgage Note to make payments in addition to those made by the Mortgagor.

(35) Any future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term reflected on the Schedule of Pledged Mortgages. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Pledged Mortgage. The Mortgage Note does not permit or obligate the Master Servicer to make future advances to the Mortgagor at the option of the Mortgagor.

III-4

(36) There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed, but is not yet due and payable. Except for (A) payments in the nature of escrow payments, and (B) interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage proceeds, whichever is later, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest, including without limitation taxes and insurance payments, has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage.

[(37) Each Pledged Mortgage was underwritten in all material respects in accordance with the underwriting guidelines set forth in the Prospectus Supplement.]

(38) Prior to the approval of the Pledged Mortgage application, an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property was obtained from a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by the originator, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Pledged Mortgage; such appraisal is in a form acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC.

(39) None of the Pledged Mortgages is a graduated payment mortgage loan or a growing equity mortgage loan or subject to a buy down or similar arrangement.

(41) All of the Pledged Mortgages have a payment date on or before the Due Date in the month of the first Payment Date.

(42) [None] of the Pledged Mortgages are Convertible Pledged Mortgages.

[(43) As of the Closing Date, the Index for the adjustment of the Mortgage Rate of each Pledged Mortgage is .]
