This POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT dated as of August 1, 2005 (this “Agreement”), is by and among AEGIS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”), AEGIS MORTGAGE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as seller (the “Seller”), XXXXX FARGO BANK, N.A., as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”) and custodian (in such capacity, the “Custodian”), OCWEN LOAN SERVICING, LLC, as servicer (together with any successor in interest, the “Servicer”), MORTGAGERAMP, LLC, as credit risk manager (the “Credit Risk Manager”), and WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

WITNESSETH THAT

In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

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

As provided herein, an election shall be made that the Trust Fund (exclusive of (i) the Swap Agreement, (ii) the right to receive and the obligation to pay Basis Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls, (iii) the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, (iv) the Supplemental Interest Trust (v) the Supplemental Interest Trust Account, and (vi) the obligation to pay Class I Shortfalls (collectively, the “Excluded Trust Assets”)) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising three real estate mortgage investment conduits under Section 860D of the Code (each a “REMIC” or, in the alternative “REMIC 1,” “REMIC 2,” and “REMIC 3,” also being referred to as the “Upper Tier REMIC”). Any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of this Agreement shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the validity of such REMIC elections.

Each Certificate, other than the Class R Certificate, represents ownership of a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. In addition, each Certificate, other than the Class R, Class X and Class P Certificates, represents (i) the right to receive payments with respect to any Basis Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls and (ii) the obligation to pay Class I Shortfalls. The Class R Certificate represents ownership of the sole Class of residual interest in each of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.

The Upper Tier REMIC shall hold as its assets the uncertificated Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2, other than the LT2-R interest, and each such Lower Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 2 for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. REMIC 2 shall hold as its assets the uncertificated Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1, other than the LT1-R interest, and each such Lower Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 1. REMIC 1 shall hold as its assets the property of the Trust Fund other than the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and the Excluded Trust Assets.

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

REMIC 1:

The following table sets forth the designations, principal balances and interest rates for each interest in REMIC 1, each of which (other than the LT1-R Lower Tier Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 1 (the “REMIC 1 Regular Interests”):

(1)

For any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) the interest rate for the Class LT1-A Interest shall be the Net WAC Rate.

(2)

For any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) the interest rate for each of these Lower Tier Interests shall be the lesser of (i) the REMIC Swap Rate for such Distribution Date, and (ii) the product of (a) the Net WAC Rate and (b) 2.

(3)

For any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) the interest rate for each of these Lower Tier Interests shall be the excess, if any, of (i) the product of (a) the Net WAC Rate and (b) 2, over (ii) the REMIC Swap Rate for such Distribution Date.

(4)

The LT1-R interest shall not have a principal amount and shall not bear interest. The LT1-R interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC 1.

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall first pay or charge as an expense of REMIC 1 all expenses of the Trust Fund for such Distribution Date, other than any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment required to be made from the Trust Fund.

On each Distribution Date the Securities Administrator shall distribute the aggregate Interest Remittance Amount for the two Mortgage Pools (net of expenses described in the preceding paragraph) with respect to each of the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 based on the above-described interest rates.

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the aggregate Principal Remittance Amount for the two Mortgage Pools with respect to the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1, first to the Class LT1-A Interest until its principal balance is reduced to zero, and then sequentially, to the other Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 in ascending order of their numerical class designation, and, with respect to each pair of classes having the same numerical designation, in equal amounts to each such class, until the principal balance of each such class is reduced to zero. All losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 in the same manner that principal distributions are allocated.

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the Prepayment Penalties collected during the preceding Prepayment Period, in the case of Principal Prepayments in full, or during the related Collection Period, in the case of Principal Prepayments in part, to the Class LT1-F59 and Class LT1-V59 Lower Tier Interests, respectively.

REMIC 2:

The following table sets forth the designations, principal balances and interest rates for each interest in REMIC 2, each of which (other than the Class LT2-R Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 2 (the “REMIC 2 Regular Interests”):

___________________________

(1)

For any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) the interest rate for each of these Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2 is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the interest rates on the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 for such Distribution Date, provided, however, that for any Distribution Date on which the Class LT2-IO Interest is entitled to a portion of the interest accruals on a Lower Tier Interest in REMIC 1 having an “F” in its class designation, as described in footnote two below, such weighted average shall be computed by first subjecting the rate on such Lower Tier Interest in REMIC 1 to a cap equal to Swap LIBOR for such Distribution Date.

The Class LT2-R interest is the sole class of residual interests in REMIC 2. It does not have an interest rate or a principal balance.

On each Distribution Date, interest shall be distributed on the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2 based on the above-described interest rates, provided, however, that interest that accrues on the Class LT2-Q Interest shall be deferred in an amount equal to one-half of the increase, if any, in the Overcollateralization Amount for such Distribution Date. Any interest so deferred shall itself bear interest at the interest rate for the Class LT2-Q Interest. An amount equal to the interest so deferred shall be distributed as additional principal on the other Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2 having a principal balance in the manner described under priority (a) below.

On each Distribution Date principal shall be distributed, and Realized Losses shall be allocated, among the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2 in the following order of priority:

(a) First, to the Class LT2-IA1, Class LT2-IA2, Class LT2-IA3, Class LT2-IA4, Class LT2-IIA1, Class LT2-M1, Class LT2-M2, Class LT2-M3, Class LT2-M4, Class LT2-M5, Class LT2-M6, Class LT2-B1, Class LT2-B2, Class LT2-B3, Class LT2-B4, Class LT2-B5, Class LT2-B6, and Class LT2-B7 Interests until the principal balance of each such Lower Tier Interest equals one-half of the Class Principal Amount of the Corresponding Class of Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date; and

(b) Second, to the Class LT2-Q Interests, any remaining amounts.

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall be deemed to have distributed the Prepayment Penalties passed through with respect to the Class LT1-F59 and Class LT1-V59 Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 on such Distribution Date to the Class LT2-Q Interest.

For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the reference to “Subordinate Net Funds Cap” in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a reference to the REMIC 2 Net Funds Cap; therefore: on any Distribution Date the Certificate Interest Rate for the Class B7 Certificates exceeds the REMIC 2 Net Funds Cap, interest accruals based on such excess shall be treated as having been paid from the Basis Risk Reserve Fund or the Supplemental Interest Trust, as applicable; on any Distribution Date on which the Certificate Interest Rate on the Class B7 Certificates is based on the Subordinate Net Funds Cap, the amount of interest that would have accrued on the Class B7 Certificates if the REMIC 2 Net Funds Cap were substituted for the Subordinate Net Funds Cap shall be treated as having been paid by the Class B7 Certificateholders to the Supplemental Interest Trust, all pursuant to and as further provided in Section 8.11(c) hereof.

(20)

The Class P and the Class X Certificates shall each be issued in minimum Percentage Interests of 100%.

(21)

For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, Class X shall have an initial principal balance of $5,500,451.82 and the right to receive distributions of such amount represents a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC. The Class X Certificate shall also comprise two notional components, each of which represents a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC. The first such component has a notional balance that will at all times equal the aggregate of the Class Principal Amounts of the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2, and, for each Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) this notional component shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the difference between (a) the weighted average of the interest rates on the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2 (other than the Class LT2-IO Interest) minus (b) the Credit Risk Manager’s Fee Rate, over (ii) the Adjusted Lower Tier WAC. The second notional component represents the right to receive all distributions in respect of the Class LT2-IO Interest in REMIC 2. In addition, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the Class X Certificates shall represent beneficial ownership of (i) the Basis Risk Reserve Fund; (ii) the Supplemental Interest Trust, including the Swap Agreement; and (iii) an interest in the notional principal contracts provided in Section 8.11(c) hereof.

(22)

The Class R Certificates will be issued without a Certificate Principal Amount and will not bear interest at a stated rate. The Class R Certificates represent ownership of the residual interest in the Upper Tier REMIC, as well as ownership of the Class LT1-R and Class LT2-R Lower Tier Interests.

As of the Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loans had an aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of $1,000,000,551.82.

In the event that with respect to any Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver (a) the original recorded Mortgage or (b) any recorded assignments or interim assignments satisfying the requirements of clause (iii) or (iv) above, respectively, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because such document or documents have not been returned from the applicable public recording office, the Depositor shall deliver such documents to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee as promptly as possible upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing Date. The Depositor or the Servicer shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee (a) from time to time additional original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (b) any other documents required to be delivered by the Depositor or the Servicer to the Trustee or the Custodian. In the case where a public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording office, the Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian a copy of such Mortgage certified (to the extent such certification is reasonably obtainable) by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage.

In addition, in the event that with respect to any Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver the original or duplicate original lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto), satisfying the requirements of clause (vi) above, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because the related Mortgage or a related assignment has not been returned from the applicable public recording office, the Depositor shall promptly deliver to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee such original or duplicate original lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto) upon receipt thereof from the applicable title insurer, and in any event, within 720 days following the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer need not cause to be recorded any assignment which relates to a Non-MERS Mortgage Loan with respect to which the Mortgaged Property is located in any state other than the Required Recordation States.

With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, the Servicer, at the expense of the Depositor, shall take such actions as are necessary to cause the Trustee to be clearly identified as the owner of each such Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by MERS.

In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, will deposit in the Custodial Account the portion of such payment that is required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof.

The Seller shall at its expense deliver to the Servicer copies of all trailing documents required to be included in the Mortgage File at the same time the originals or certified copies thereof are delivered to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, such documents to include but not be limited to the mortgagee policy of title insurance and any mortgage loan documents upon their return from the recording office.

Section 2.2

Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans; Review of Documentation.

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1, the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the assets transferred by the Depositor of the assets included in the Trust Fund and has directed that the documents referred to in Section 2.1 and all other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” be delivered to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee.

The Custodian, by execution and delivery, hereof, and on behalf of the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the initial certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C (the “Initial Certification”) and the Custodian declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and that the Custodian holds or will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any.

The Custodian agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Servicer and the NIMS Insurer, if any, an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C. Based on the Custodian’s review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Initial Certification and subject to any exceptions noted in the schedule attached to such certification, the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee acknowledges that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan. Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall be under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded 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 Custodian shall deliver to the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Servicer and the NIMS Insurer, if any, a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit D, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event there are exceptions to the Final Certification, the Custodian may transmit such exceptions electronically (via email) to the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any, subject to the prior approval of the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any.

If, in the course of such review, the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.1 hereof (the “Mortgage Loan Document Requirements”), the Custodian shall list such as an exception in the Final Certification; provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall 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) 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 Seller shall promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was so notified of such defect and, if the Seller does not correct or cure such defect within such period, the Seller shall either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.3 hereof, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from the date the Seller was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall such substitution or purchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date, except that if the substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents by the appropriate recording office, and there is a dispute between either the Servicer or the Seller and the Trustee over the location or status of the recorded document, then such substitution or purchase shall occur within 720 days from the Closing Date. Any such substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any, of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.4 hereof, if any, and any substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit J. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Seller in the Collection Account on or prior to the Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release the related Mortgage File to the Seller and shall execute and deliver at the Seller’s request such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller, or a designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. The foregoing remedy against the Seller for failure to deliver Mortgage Loans that satisfy the Mortgage Loan Document Requirements is provided in the Sale Agreement (which, in turn, has been assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof).

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

It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.1 hereof shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Trustee, any Certificateholder and the NIMS Insurer, if any, against the Depositor or the Seller.

(i)

(e)

Pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof, the Depositor has assigned to the Trustee, for the benefit of Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any, its rights under the Sale Agreement, including each representation and warranty of the Seller (and the applicable remedies) set forth in the Sale Agreement in respect of the Mortgage Loans.

(f)

Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or warranty made by the Seller in respect of the Mortgage Loans that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to the other parties hereto and the NIMS Insurer, if any. The Seller hereby covenants that within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party of a breach such of any representation or warranty which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, if any, in any Mortgage Loan (it being understood that any such breach shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust Fund therein, if the Trust Fund incurs a loss as the result of such breach), it shall cure such breach in all material respects, and if such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such 90-day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth below; provided, however, that any such substitution pursuant to clause (i) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.4 hereof, if any, and any such substitution pursuant to clause (i) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit J and the Mortgage File for any such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall promptly reimburse the Servicer, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any, for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Servicer, the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer, if any, in respect of enforcing the remedies against the Seller. With respect to the representations and warranties described in this Section which are made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by either the Servicer, the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer, if any, that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, if any, therein, notwithstanding the Seller’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 Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall deliver to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.1, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.1. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Scheduled Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Seller on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the monthly payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer, if any. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties made by Seller pursuant to the Sale Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the Collection Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution as provided in the following paragraph, the Custodian shall release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at the Seller’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest title in the Seller, or its designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.3.

For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (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”) plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be deposited in the Collection Account by the Seller on or before the Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar month during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.

In the event that the Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Distribution Account prior to the Distribution Date in the month following the month during which the Seller became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and upon such deposit of the Purchase Price, the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.4 hereof and receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit J hereto, the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any, to the Seller, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver or shall cause the Custodian to execute and deliver at the Seller’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. It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of the Seller to cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to Certificateholders, the NIMS Insurer, if any, or the Trustee on their behalf.

The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.3 (and the representations and warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loans made in the Sale Agreement) shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee or the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any.

(g)

Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of discovery) give written notice thereof to the other parties and the NIMS Insurer, if any. In connection therewith, the Securities Administrator shall require the Seller, at the Seller’s option, to either (i) substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.3(e) with respect to substitutions are satisfied, a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a breach of representation or warranty made pursuant to this Section 2.3. The Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall reconvey to the Seller the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Section 2.3.

Section 2.4

Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with Substitutions.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no substitution pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.3 shall be made more than 90 days after the Closing Date unless the Depositor or Seller delivers to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, if any, an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of either the Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any, to the effect that such substitution will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

Section 2.5

Execution and Delivery of Certificates.

The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has caused the Securities Administrator to execute and deliver to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the entire ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and exercise the rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates and the NIMS Insurer, if any, and to perform the duties set forth in this Agreement to the best of its ability, to the end that the interests of the Holders of the Certificates may be adequately and effectively protected.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 3.1

Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.

For and on behalf of the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any, the Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Standard. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through subservicers as provided in Section 3.2 hereof, 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 Certificateholders, the NIMS Insurer, if any, 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 Mortgage Loan; provided that the Servicer shall not take any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund, the Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, if any, in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund (or the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund) in full compliance with the Servicing Standard in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan, provided, however, that unless (x) the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan, or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, imminent or (y) in the absence of default or imminent default, any such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event, the Servicer may not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders, the NIMS Insurer, if any, or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any.

In accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Servicer shall make or cause to be made Servicing Advances as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which Servicing Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof, and further as provided in Section 3.8 hereof. The costs incurred by the 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 monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that Servicing Advances shall be reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.8 of this Agreement, and agree that no Servicing Advance shall be rejected or disallowed by any party unless it has been shown that such Servicing Advance was not made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for any Pre Cut-off Date Servicing Advances in the same manner and to the same extent as any other Servicing Advance is reimbursable hereunder.

The Trustee shall furnish the Servicer and/or the Master Servicer with any limited powers of attorney (substantially in the form of Exhibit M) and other documents in form as provided to it that are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer and/or the Master Servicer to execute in the name of the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, all documents reasonably required to perform the servicing functions described in this Article III or Article IIIA. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any action of the Master Servicer or the Servicer pursuant to any such limited power of attorney and shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer or the Servicer, as applicable, for any cost, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee in connection with such Person’s misuse of any such power of attorney.

Section 3.2

Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of the Servicer.

(a)

The Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan by a subservicer, which may be an affiliate of the Servicer, pursuant to a subservicing agreement; provided, however, that such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related subservicing agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans include actions taken or to be taken by a subservicer on behalf of the Servicer and rights of the Servicer to reimbursement of Advances shall constitute rights of the Subservicer to the extent any such Advances are made by or on behalf of the Servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of any subservicing agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a subservicer or reference to actions taken through a subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. All actions of each subservicer performed pursuant to the related subservicing agreement shall be performed as an agent of the Servicer with the same force and effect as if performed directly by the Servicer.

(b)

For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are received by a subservicer regardless of whether such payments are remitted by the subservicer to the Servicer.

Section 3.3

Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the Servicer.

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

Section 3.4

Successor Servicer or Master Servicer to Act as Servicer.

(a)

In the event that the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer hereunder (including by reason of a Servicer Termination Event or a Servicer Event of Default), the Seller shall appoint, subject to subsection (b) hereof, a successor Servicer acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such an appointment will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the rating of any of the Certificates. Such successor Servicer shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (provided that such successor Servicer shall not be (i) liable for losses of the predecessor Servicer pursuant to Section 3.5(e) hereof or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer hereunder, (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law or (iii) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of the predecessor Servicer hereunder). If the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer (including by reason of a Servicer Termination Event or any Servicer Event of Default), the successor Servicer shall succeed to any rights and obligations of the predecessor Servicer under any subservicing agreement then in force.

(b)

In the event that the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer hereunder (including by reason of a Servicer Termination Event or a Servicer Event of Default), the Seller shall appoint a successor Servicer within fourteen (14) calendar days following notification to the Servicer of termination pursuant to Article VII, or within thirty (30) calendar days of the date on which the Seller receives notification that the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer.

(c)

In the event that (i) the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer hereunder (including by reason of a Servicer Termination Event or a Servicer Event of Default as defined in Section 7.1 herein) and (ii) the Seller shall not have appointed a successor Servicer acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies, the Master Servicer shall succeed as Servicer and assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder arising thereafter; provided, however, that, without affecting the immediate termination of the rights of the Servicer hereunder, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition not to exceed 90 days (the “Transition Period”) before any such servicing transfer to the Master Servicer is fully effected. During the Transition Period, the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for the lack of information and documents that it cannot reasonably obtain on a practicable basis under the circumstances. If the Master Servicer shall become the successor Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.4(c), the Master Servicer shall succeed to any rights and obligations of the predecessor Servicer under any subservicing agreement then in force.

(d)

In the event that a successor Servicer assumes the rights and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Section 3.4, the predecessor Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the successor Servicer, but at the expense of the predecessor Servicer or at the expense of the Trust Fund if not paid by the predecessor Servicer (or at the expense of the successor Servicer or the Seller in the case of a termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.1(c)), deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to any subservicing agreement or substitute subservicing agreement and the Mortgage Loans 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 subservicing agreement to the assuming party.

(e)

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the resignation, removal or termination of the Servicer become effective until a successor Servicer, appointed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, shall have been appointed and shall have assumed in writing all of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement to be performed by the Servicer from and after the date of such resignation, removal or termination, as applicable, and assumption; pending such date, the Servicer shall remain obligated to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(f)

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Servicer has received a notice of termination in accordance with Article VII of this Agreement as a result of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default or a Servicer Termination Event, if the Master Servicer shall be obligated to make, and makes, any Delinquency Advances pursuant to Section 3.19 prior to the appointment of a successor Servicer or the assumption of servicing obligations by the Master Servicer, then the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for all such Delinquency Advances by the successor Servicer or, if not by the successor Servicer, then at the same time and in the same manner as the Servicer is entitled to be reimbursed for Delinquency Advances hereunder.

(g)

Following any transfer of servicing as provided in this Section 3.4, the predecessor Servicer and any successor Servicer (including, without limitation, the Master Servicer) shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effect any such succession of servicing, including, without limitation, providing servicing transfer notices to borrowers and to other interested parties as requested by the successor Servicer (any such notices to be in a format acceptable to the successor Servicer). The predecessor Servicer agrees to deliver promptly to such successor, electronically or physically, as the case may be, all files, data and funds related to the Mortgage Loans, of the types provided for in this Agreement. The predecessor Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and any successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the predecessor Servicer’s servicing responsibilities and rights under this Agreement and shall promptly provide the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or such successor Servicer, as applicable, all documents and records reasonably requested by the successor Servicer to enable it to assume the predecessor Servicer’s functions under this Agreement. The predecessor Servicer shall promptly transfer to the successor Servicer all amounts that then have been or should have been deposited in the Custodial Account, the Collection Account and any escrow account by the predecessor Servicer or that are thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Any collections received by the predecessor Servicer after such removal or resignation shall be endorsed by it to the successor Servicer and remitted directly to such successor Servicer. All costs and expenses associated with the provisions of this Section 3.4(g) shall be borne by the predecessor Servicer, provided, that in the event the Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(c), the Seller shall cause any successor Servicer appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement to pay (or the Seller shall pay, if the successor Servicer does not) such costs and expenses; provided, further, that in the event the Master Servicer is not reimbursed for any such costs and expenses it incurred in connection with any servicing transfer pursuant to Section 7.1(a) by the predecessor Servicer, the successor Servicer or the Seller, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from funds in the Collection Account.

Section 3.5

Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Custodial Account; Collection Account; Distribution Account.

(a)

The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts (or shall cause each subservicer to make reasonable efforts) in accordance with the Servicing Standard to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement. Consistent with the foregoing, and subject to the provisions of Section 3.1 hereof, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or penalty interest and (ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 180 days; provided, however, that the Servicer cannot extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan past the date on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date. In the event of any such arrangement, any Delinquency Advance required to be made by the Servicer on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions hereof (i) with respect to the Prepayment Period in which such arrangement became effective shall be made in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without giving effect to the modification thereof by reason of such arrangements and (ii) with respect to any Prepayment Period thereafter shall be made in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan as so modified. The 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.

The Servicer shall comply with the provisions of Section 3.21 hereof with respect to each Prepayment Penalty related to the Mortgage Loans.

(b)

The Servicer shall establish and maintain (or shall cause each subservicer to establish and maintain) a Custodial Account entitled “[Name of Servicer or such subservicer] in Trust for Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Trustee for Aegis Asset Backed Securities Trust Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2005-4,” for the benefit of the Certificateholders into which the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited as soon as practicable following receipt but in no event later than two Business Days after receipt, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following payments and collections remitted by subservicers or received by it in respect of Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date) and the following amounts required to be deposited hereunder:

(i)

all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans, including Principal Prepayments;

(ii)

all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, net of the related Servicing Fee and any Compensating Interest payments required to be deposited by the Servicer hereunder;

(iii)

any Prepayment Penalty required to be deposited by the Servicer hereunder;

(iv)

all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, other than proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures;

(v)

any amount required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.5(e) in connection with any losses on Eligible investments;

(vi)

any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.9(b) and (d) hereof, and in respect of net monthly rental income from REO Property pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof;

(vii)

all Substitution Adjustment Amounts; and

(viii)

all Delinquency Advances made by or on behalf of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.19 hereof.

The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Servicer shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, amounts in respect of the Servicing Fee (subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.14), payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, if collected, need not be remitted by the Servicer. For so long as the Initial Advance Facility has not been terminated, amounts attributable to reimbursements of Advances, if collected, shall be remitted by the Servicer (or the Subservicer on its behalf) as provided above and shall not under any circumstances be retained by the Servicer (or the Subservicer on its behalf). If the Initial Advance Facility is terminated, amounts attributable to reimbursements of Advances need not be remitted by the Servicer. In the event that the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the Custodial Account to withdraw such amount from the Custodial 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 Custodial Account which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall maintain adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in the Custodial Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any, until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.8.

If the Custodial Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Servicer shall establish a new Custodial Account that is an Eligible Account within 15 days and transfer all funds and investment property on deposit in such existing Custodial Account into such new Custodial Account.

(c)

The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any, a Collection Account entitled “Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. in trust for Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Trustee for Aegis Asset Backed Securities Trust Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2005-4.” On each Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall remit to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account the Total Distribution Amount for such date, to the extent received by it or required to be funded by it. In addition, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amounts required to be deposited by it pursuant to Section 3.5(e) in connection with losses on Eligible Investments in the Collection Account.

In the event that the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted by it, it may at any time direct the Master Servicer to withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an Officer’s Certificate to the Master Servicer, which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Collection Account. All funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be held by the Master Servicer in escrow for the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.8. In no event shall the Master Servicer incur liability for withdrawals from the Collection Account at the direction of the Servicer.

If the Collection Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Master Servicer shall establish a new Collection Account that is an Eligible Account within 15 days and transfer all funds and investment property on deposit in such existing Collection Account into such new Collection Account.

(d)

The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain, on behalf of Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any, the Distribution Account. On each Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall remit to the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, for deposit in the Distribution Account the Total Distribution Amount for such date. In addition, the Securities Administrator shall deposit in the Distribution Account any amounts required to be deposited by it pursuant to Section 3.5(e) in connection with losses on Eligible Investments in the Distribution Account.

In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted by it, it may at any time direct the Securities Administrator to withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an Officer’s Certificate to the Securities Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, if any, which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall be held by the Securities Administrator in trust for the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any, until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.8. In no event shall the Securities Administrator incur liability for withdrawals from the Distribution Account at the direction of the Master Servicer.

If the Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Securities Administrator shall establish a new Distribution Account that is an Eligible Account within 15 days and transfer all funds and investment property on deposit in such existing Distribution Account into such new Distribution Account.

(e)

Amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account shall be invested as directed by the Servicer; amounts on deposit in the Collection Account shall be invested as directed by the Master Servicer; and amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account shall be invested as directed by the Securities Administrator, in each case in Eligible Investments which shall mature not later than (i) in the case of the Custodial Account, the Business Day next preceding the related Servicer Remittance 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 Servicer Remittance Date), (ii) in the case of the Collection Account, the Business Day next preceding the related 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 such Deposit Date) and (iii) in the case of the Distribution Account, the Business Day next preceding the related Distribution Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such fund or account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such Distribution Date) and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any. All income and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Custodial Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as servicing compensation; all income and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as master servicing compensation; and all income and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Securities Administrator. The amount of any realized losses in the Custodial Account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account, the amount of any realized losses in the Collection Account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account and the amount of any realized losses in the Distribution Account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited therein by the Securities Administrator. 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 Custodial Account, the Collection Account or the Distribution Account and made in accordance with this Section 3.5.

Section 3.6

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

(a)

To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not violative of current law, the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (each, an “Escrow Account”) and deposit and retain therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or advances by or on behalf of 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 Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law.

(b)

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 Servicer out of related collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections 3.1 hereof (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance premiums) and 3.9 hereof (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 9.1 hereof. The Escrow Accounts shall not be a part of the Trust Fund.

(c)

The Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced, as Servicing Advances, any payments referred to in Section 3.6(a) that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors on the date when the tax, premium or other cost for which such payment is intended is due, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to make or cause to be made any such Servicing Advance if such Servicing Advance, in the good faith judgment of the Servicer, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

Section 3.7

Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Mortgage Loans.

The Servicer shall afford the Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer, if any, reasonable access to all records and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans and all accounts, insurance information and other matters relating to this Agreement, such access being afforded without charge, but only upon five Business Days’ prior written notice and during normal business hours at the office designated by the Servicer.

Upon five Business Days’ prior written notice, the Servicer shall provide to each Certificateholder that is a savings and loan association, bank or insurance company and the NIMS Insurer, if any, certain reports and reasonable access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans sufficient to permit such Certificateholder to comply with applicable regulations of the OTS or other regulatory authorities with respect to investment in the Certificates; provided that the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder for actual expenses incurred by the Servicer in providing such reports and access.

Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. Nothing in this Section 3.7 shall require the Servicer to collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information that it does not generate in its usual course of business, except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be required to make copies of or ship documents to any party unless provisions have been made for the reimbursement of the costs thereof.

(ii)

if the Initial Advance Facility has been terminated, to the extent not previously retained by the Servicer, to reimburse the Servicer for unreimbursed Advances made by or on behalf of it, such right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on any Mortgage Loan in respect of which any such Advance was made;

(x)

to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof.

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

(b)

The Master Servicer may from time to time withdraw funds from the Collection Account for the following purposes:

(viii)

to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof.

(c)

The Securities Administrator shall withdraw funds from the Distribution Account for distributions to Certificateholders in the manner specified in this Agreement. In addition, the Securities Administrator (1) shall, until the first Distribution Date following the date on which the Initial Advance Facility has been terminated, on each Distribution Date prior to making the payments required pursuant to Section 4.1, make a withdrawal from the Distribution Account, based solely on information received from the Subservicer and the Servicer, in the amount of the Advance Reimbursement Payment for such Distribution Date and pay such amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by the Initial Advance Facility Counterparty, and (2) may prior to making the payments required pursuant to Section 4.1 from time to time make withdrawals from the Distribution Account for the following purposes:

(vi)

to clear and terminate the Distribution Account upon termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof.

Section 3.9

Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Maintenance of Primary Insurance Policies.

(a)

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained, for each Mortgage Loan, hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan; (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan; and (iii) the maximum amount available in the locality of the related Mortgaged Property from insurers generally acceptable to institutional residential mortgage lenders without payment of extraordinary premium. Each such policy of standard hazard insurance shall contain, or have an accompanying endorsement that contains, a standard mortgagee clause. Any amounts collected by the 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 Servicer’s normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the Collection Account. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders or remittances to the Securities Administrator for their benefit, be added to the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs shall be recoverable by the Servicer as Servicing Advances or, if applicable, as Nonrecoverable Advances. 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 Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special flood hazard area and such area is participating in the national flood insurance program, the Servicer shall cause flood insurance to be maintained with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the least of (i) the original principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the replacement value of the improvements which are part of such Mortgaged Property, and (iii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program.

(b)

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against hazard losses on any or all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first sentence of this Section with respect to all of the Mortgage Loans so covered, 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 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, and there shall have been a loss that would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Collection Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as Servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Depositor, and the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any, claims under any such blanket policy.

(c)

The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Certificates and is required to be kept in force hereunder unless the replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy is maintained with a Qualified Insurer.

The Servicer shall not be required to maintain any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy (i) with respect to any Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio less than or equal to 80% (or such lower Loan-to-Value Ratio as may be provided by applicable law) as of any date of determination or, based on a new appraisal, the principal balance of such Mortgage Loan represents 80% or less of the new appraised value (or other method of determination as may be provided by applicable law) or (ii) if maintaining such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is otherwise prohibited by applicable law.

The Servicer agrees to effect the timely payment of the premiums on each Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy (other than any Bulk PMI Policy premium), and such costs not otherwise recoverable shall be recoverable by the Servicer as Servicing Advances or, if applicable, as Nonrecoverable Advances.

(d)

In connection with its activities as Servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to present on behalf of itself, the Trustee, Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any, 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 Mortgage Loans. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Collection Account.

Section 3.10

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

(a)

Except as otherwise provided in this Section, when any property subject to a Mortgage has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the 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, in the Servicer’s reasonable judgment, enforcement is permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to take such action if, in its sole business judgment, the Servicer believes it is not in the best interests of the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer is not required to exercise such rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan 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 the Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any such due-on-sale clause, or if nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Servicer is authorized, subject to Section 3.10(b), 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 Mortgage Loan shall continue to be covered (if so covered before the Servicer enters such agreement) by the applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Servicer, subject to Section 3.10(b), 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 Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this Section by reason of any transfer or assumption which the Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.

(b)

Subject to the Servicer’s duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent set forth in Section 3.10(a) hereof, 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 Mortgage Loan, the 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 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 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 Servicer shall 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 Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

Section 3.11

Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase of Certain Mortgage Loans.

(a)

Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3.5(a), 3.11(b), 3.11(f), and 3.11(i), the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities; provided, however, that the 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 (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Collection Account). The 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 Servicing Advances or, if applicable, as Nonrecoverable Advances.

(b)

If the Servicer has actual knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which the Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is located within a one mile radius of any site with material environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the Servicer, the Servicer will, prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider such risks and shall proceed with such in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure only if the Servicer reasonably determines that doing so shall more like than not be in the best interests of the Trust Fund, considering all relevant factors including such environmental matters. For the purpose of this Section, actual knowledge of the Servicer means actual knowledge of a Servicing Officer involved in the servicing of the relevant Mortgage Loan at the time such knowledge was acquired. Actual knowledge of the Servicer does not include knowledge imputable by virtue of the availability of or accessibility to information relating to environmental or hazardous waste sites or the locations thereof.

(c)

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 Certificateholders, or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Trustee’s name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references this Agreement and the Trustee’s capacity thereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any, in its sole discretion, rent or decline to rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any, for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The Servicer shall prepare for and deliver to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer, if any, a statement with respect to any REO Property that has been rented showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses incurred in connection with the management and maintenance of such REO Property at such times as is necessary to enable the Securities Administrator to comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in the Collection Account no later than the close of business on each Determination Date. The 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 any tax reporting required by Section 6050P of the Code with respect to the cancellation of indebtedness by certain financial entities, by preparing and filing such tax and information returns as may be required.

(d)

In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to the close of the third taxable year after its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, if any, shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be at the expense of any such recipient) to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such three-year period will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) cause an Adverse REMIC Event, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.

(e)

In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose obligor is not a “United States person,” as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a deed in lieu of foreclosure (together, “foreclosure”) in respect of such Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will cause compliance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor thereto) necessary to assure that no withholding tax obligation arises with respect to the proceeds of such foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that proceeds of such foreclosure are required to be remitted to the obligor on such Mortgage Loan.

(f)

The decision of the Servicer to foreclose, or to continue the foreclosure process, on a defaulted Mortgage Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Servicer that the related Mortgaged Property will not fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code and that the proceeds of such foreclosure would more likely than not exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a proceeding and liquidating the REO expected to be obtained through such foreclosure. Promptly upon making any determination in accordance with the preceding sentence not to foreclose, or to discontinue the foreclosure process, as to any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer an Officer’s Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer identifying the Mortgage Loans as to which such determination has been made setting forth the basis for such determination in a form acceptable to the Master Servicer.

(g)

The income earned from the management of any REO Properties, net of reimbursement to the Servicer for expenses incurred (including any property or other taxes) in connection with such management and net of unreimbursed Master Servicing Fees and Advances, shall be applied to the payment of principal of and interest on the related defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as though such Mortgage Loans were still current) 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 Collection 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 Mortgage Loan for such calendar month, such excess shall be considered to be a partial prepayment of principal of the related Mortgage Loan.

(h)

The proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as any income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Servicer for any unreimbursed Delinquency Advances; third, to reimburse the Collection Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that were previously withdrawn by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(iii) that related to such Mortgage Loan; fourth, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Delinquency Advance has been made for such amount or any such Delinquency Advance has been reimbursed) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at the Mortgage Rate (net of the Servicing Fee Rate) to the Due Date occurring in the month in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fifth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess Proceeds, if any, from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be part of Monthly Excess Cashflow.

(i)

Notwithstanding any provision hereof, in connection with the foreclosure or other conversion of defaulted assets, the Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, and as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities.

The Servicer shall not conduct any such disposition that would result in an Adverse REMIC Event at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.

(j)

The Majority Class X Certificateholders, in their sole discretion, shall have the right to purchase for their own account from the Trust Fund any Distressed Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided, however, that any REO Property may be disposed of pursuant to the preceding Section 3.11(i). The total price calculated pursuant to the preceding sentence for any Distressed Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account and the Custodian, upon receipt of the Request for Release from the Servicer in the form of Exhibit J hereto, shall release or cause to be released to the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall succeed to all the Trustee’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan and all security and documents related thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. The purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall thereupon own such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, if any, with respect thereto.

(k)

The Depositor shall have the option to purchase, at any one time (but only one time during the period in which the Agreement is in effect), 1.0% (and in any case, at least five Mortgage Loans) of the Mortgage Loans, by aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of such date, at a purchase price equal to the greater of (A) the aggregate Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loans and (B) the aggregate fair market value of such Mortgage Loans. The Mortgage Loans that may be purchased by the Depositor pursuant to this paragraph will be selected by the Depositor in its sole discretion. If at any time the Depositor exercises such option, the Depositor shall immediately notify or cause to be notified the Trustee and the Custodian by a certification (which shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.5 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File.

(l)

Any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Servicer in connection with transferring the servicing of any Mortgage Loans pursuant to paragraphs (j) and (k) shall be the responsibility of the party purchasing such Mortgage Loans.

Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall promptly release the related Mortgage Files to the Depositor or its designee. Any Adverse REMIC Event created hereunder related to the exercise of the option provided by this paragraph (k) shall in no event be payable by the Securities Administrator but shall be paid by the Depositor.

Section 3.12

Securities Administrator to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the Custodian by delivering, or causing to be delivered (or the Securities Administrator may deliver), to the Custodian two copies of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit J, which shall be signed by a Servicing Officer, or a Responsible Officer of the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, or in mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer, or a Responsible Officer of the Securities Administrator, as the case may be. Upon receipt of such request, the Custodian shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and the Trustee shall at the Servicer’s direction execute and deliver to the 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 as provided by the Servicer, together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of cancellation thereon. In lieu of the document execution process described in the preceding two sentences, the Servicer shall be authorized to execute each request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance, and release, satisfaction of mortgage, or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage as attorney in fact for the Trustee pursuant to the powers of attorney described in Section 3.1. 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 Mortgage Loan, 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 Mortgage File, the Custodian shall, upon delivery to it of two copies of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit J, which shall be signed by a Servicing Officer, or a Responsible Officer of the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, or in mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer, or a Responsible Officer of the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, release the Mortgage File to the Servicer. Subject to the further limitations set forth below, the Servicer shall cause the Mortgage File or documents so released to be returned to the Custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan is liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in the Collection Account, in which case the Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit J, signed by a Servicing Officer.

Section 3.13

Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Servicer to be Held for the Trustee.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Servicer shall transmit to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, all documents and instruments described in Section 2.1(b), and shall hold as Servicer and agent of the Trustee all other documents, in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the possession of the Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds received by the Servicer or which otherwise are collected by the Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in the Collection Account, shall be held by the Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Collection Account, Distribution Account or any Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Securities Administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders, 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 setoff against any Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that the Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Servicer under this Agreement.

Section 3.14

Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw from the Custodial Account an amount equal to the Servicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan, provided that the aggregate Servicing Fee with respect to any Distribution Date shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of any Compensating Interest paid by the Servicer with respect to such Distribution Date.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of (i) all income and gain net of any losses realized from Eligible Investments and (ii) assumption fees, late payment charges, all ancillary income and other receipts not required to be deposited to the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof, excluding any Excess Proceeds and Prepayment Penalties, shall be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. The Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by them respectively in connection with their respective activities hereunder to the extent such expenses do not constitute Delinquency Advances or Nonrecoverable Advances as defined in this Agreement and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in this Agreement.

Section 3.15

Access to Certain Documentation.

The Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to comparable regulatory authorities supervising Holders of Subordinate Certificates and the examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS, the FDIC and such other authorities, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans 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 submitted on at least 5 Business Days’ notice (or such shorter interval as is necessary to comply with applicable law or regulation) and during normal business hours at the offices designated by the Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. Nothing in this Section 3.15 shall require the Servicer to collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information that it does not generate in its usual course of business, except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement. The Servicer shall not be required to make copies of or ship documents to any party unless provisions have been made for the reimbursement of the costs thereof.

Section 3.16

Annual Statement as to Compliance.

The Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator on or before March 15 of each applicable year, commencing in 2006, an Officer’s Certificate stating, as to the signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding fiscal year and of the performance of the Servicer under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its material obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a material default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Upon request, the Securities Administrator shall forward a copy of each such statement to each Rating Agency and each Underwriter.

Section 3.17

Annual Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Statement; Financial Statements.

On or before March 15 of each applicable year, commencing in 2006, the Servicer at its expense shall cause a nationally or regionally recognized firm of Independent public accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer, the Depositor or any affiliate thereof) which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of mortgage loans under pooling and servicing agreements substantially similar in material respects to this Agreement and substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or alternatively, if the Securities Administrator has so elected, the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced for FNMA and FHLMC, and setting forth such firm’s conclusions relating thereto in accordance with the applicable attestation program or audit program. In rendering such statement, such firm may rely, as to matters relating to direct servicing of mortgage loans by subservicers, upon comparable statements for examinations conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced for FNMA and FHLMC (rendered within one year of such statement) of Independent public accountants with respect to the related subservicer. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Securities Administrator to the NIMS Insurer, if any, and to any Certificateholder upon request at the Servicer’s expense, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Securities Administrator. Delivery of such statement to the Securities Administrator is for informational purposes only and the Securities Administrator’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein, including the Servicer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Securities Administrator is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

Section 3.18

Errors and Omissions Insurance; Fidelity Bonds.

The Servicer shall for so long as it acts as Servicer under this Agreement, obtain and maintain in force (a) a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder and (b) a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents. Each such policy or policies and bond shall be acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC. In the event that any such policy or bond ceases to be in effect, the Servicer shall obtain a comparable replacement policy or bond from an insurer or issuer, meeting the requirements set forth above as of the date of such replacement.

Section 3.19

Delinquency Advances.

The Servicer shall determine on or before each Determination Date whether it is required to make a Delinquency Advance. The Servicer shall advance funds in the amount of any Scheduled Payment that was due during the related Collection Period and not received by the Servicer as of the related Determination Date; provided that in no event shall the Servicer be required to make any such Delinquency Advance that, if made, would in the good faith judgment of the Servicer be a Nonrecoverable Advance. With respect to any Mortgage Loan, if a Delinquency Advance is required to be made hereunder, the Servicer shall on or before the Servicer Remittance Date either (i) deposit in the Collection Account from its own funds an amount equal to such Delinquency Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Custodial Account that funds in such account being held for future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 3.19, used by the Servicer to make such Delinquency Advance or (iii) make Delinquency Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Delinquency Advance. Any such funds being held in the Custodial Account for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by the Servicer from its own funds by deposit in such Custodial Account to the extent required on or before any future Servicer Remittance Date in which such funds would be due. The Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for all Delinquency Advances of its own funds made pursuant to this Section as provided in Section 3.8 hereof. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Article VII, in the event that the Servicer fails to remit a Delinquency Advance required to be made pursuant to this Section 3.19, the Master Servicer shall, unless it determines that such Delinquency Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, itself make, or shall cause the successor Servicer or the Seller (as owner of the servicing rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans) to make, such Delinquency Advance on or before the Distribution Date following the Servicer Remittance Date on which such Delinquency Advance should have been made.

The obligation to make Delinquency Advances with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall continue if such Mortgage Loan has been foreclosed or otherwise terminated and the related Mortgaged Property has not been liquidated. The Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer on the related Servicer Remittance Date an Officer’s Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount of any proposed Delinquency Advance that, if made, would in the good faith judgment of the Servicer be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

Section 3.20

Advance Facility.

(a)

Each of the Securities Administrator and the Trustee is authorized to execute such documents and enter into such agreements as shall be necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the purposes of the Initial Advance Facility. Until the Initial Advance Facility has been terminated, no amendment to this Agreement relating to the reimbursement of Advances shall be made without the prior written consent of the Initial Advance Facility Counterparty.

(b)

The Servicer is hereby authorized, following the termination of the Initial Advance Facility, to enter into any facility with any Person (any such Person, an “Advance Facility Counterparty”) under which the Servicer may pledge or sell its rights to receive reimbursement of Advances pursuant to this Agreement (“Advance Reimbursement Rights”) pursuant to credit facilities, repurchase facilities, or similar facilities providing liquidity for the funding of Advances, including facilities providing that such Advance Facility Counterparty may make all or a portion of the Advances (any such facility, an “Advance Facility”), although no Advance Facility shall reduce or otherwise affect the Servicer’s obligations to fund such Advances. If so required pursuant to the terms of an Advance Facility, to the extent that an Advance Facility Counterparty makes all or a portion of any Delinquency Advance and the Advance Facility Counterparty and the Servicer provide the Securities Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, if any, with notice acknowledged by the Servicer that such Advance Facility Counterparty is entitled to reimbursement, such Advance Facility Counterparty shall be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for such amount to the extent provided. Such notice from the Advance Facility Counterparty, if so required, and the Servicer must specify the amount of the reimbursement and must specify which Section of this Agreement permits the Delinquency Advance to be reimbursed. The Securities Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, if any, shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation on the Advance Facility Counterparty’s statement with respect to the amount of any reimbursement pursuant to this Section 3.20 and with respect to the Advance Facility Counterparty’s statement with respect to the Section of this Agreement that permits the Delinquency Advance to be reimbursed. An Advance Facility Counterparty whose obligations are limited to the making of Advances will not be deemed to be a subservicer under this Agreement.

(c)

If so required pursuant to the terms of an Advance Facility, the Servicer is hereby authorized to and shall pay to the Advance Facility Counterparty, or cause the payment to the Advance Facility Counterparty of, (i) reimbursements for Advances; and (ii) all or such portion of the Servicing Fee as may be so specified in the Advance Facility, that would otherwise be payable to the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, it being understood that neither the Trust Fund nor any party hereto shall have a right or claim (including without limitation any right of offset) to the portion of the Servicing Fee or the Servicer’s right to reimbursement of Advances so assigned, provided that any successor Servicer shall have no obligation to pay any portion of the Servicing Fee or its right to reimbursement of Advances to any such Advance Facility.

(d)

Whether or not an Advance Facility is in place, reimbursement amounts allocated to reimburse Advances made with respect to any particular Mortgage Loan shall be allocated to the reimbursement of the unreimbursed Advances made with respect to that Mortgage Loan on a “first-in, first out” (“FIFO”) basis, such that the reimbursement amounts shall be applied to reimburse the Advance for that Mortgage Loan that was disbursed earliest in time first, and to reimburse the Advance for that Mortgage Loan that was disbursed latest in time last. Liquidation Proceeds with respect to a Mortgage Loan shall be applied to reimburse Servicing Advances outstanding with respect to that Mortgage Loan before being applied to reimburse Delinquency Advances outstanding with respect to that Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall provide to the related Advance Facility Counterparty loan-by-loan information with respect to each reimbursement amount remitted to such Advance Facility Counterparty, to enable the Advance Facility Counterparty to make the FIFO allocation of each such reimbursement amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan.

(e)

Upon request of the Servicer and provision by the Servicer of all necessary forms, the Securities Administrator agrees to execute such reasonable acknowledgments, certificates, and other reasonable documents recognizing the interests of any Advance Facility Counterparty in such Advance Reimbursement Rights and Servicing Fees as the Servicer may cause to be made subject to Advance Facilities pursuant to this Section 3.20, and such other documents in connection with such Advance Facilities as may be reasonably requested from time to time by any Advance Facility Counterparty. The implementation of the arrangement described in this Section shall not require the consent of Certificateholders, the NIMS Insurer, if any, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee.

(f)

The Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Trust Fund, each Certificateholder and any NIMS Insurer for any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses resulting from any claim by the Advance Facility Counterparty, except (with respect to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and any successor Servicer) to the extent that such claim, loss, liability, damages or expense results from or arises out of the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or successor Servicer, as applicable.

(g)

Any amendment to this Section 3.20 or to any other provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Servicer, may be entered into by the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian, the Credit Risk Manager and the Trustee without the consent of any Certificateholder, provided that such amendment is otherwise effected in compliance with the provisions of Section 10.01. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by each party hereto or incurred by (or that would otherwise be incurred by) the Trust Fund shall be borne solely by the Servicer. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) any Advances financed by and/or pledged to an Advance Facility Counterparty under any Advance Facility are obligations owed to the Servicer payable only from the cash flows and proceeds received under this Agreement for reimbursement of Advances to the extent provided herein, and none of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee is, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, obligated or liable to repay any Advances financed by the Advance Facility Counterparty; (ii) the Servicer will be responsible for remitting to the Advance Facility Counterparty the applicable amounts collected by it as reimbursement for Advances funded by the Advance Facility Counterparty, subject to the provisions of this Agreement; and (iii) none of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall have any responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the financing arrangement between the Servicer and any Advance Facility Counterparty.

Section 3.21

Prepayment Penalties.

The Servicer or any designee of the Servicer shall not waive any Prepayment Penalty with respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains a Prepayment Penalty that prepays during the term of the penalty. If the Servicer or its designee fails to collect the Prepayment Penalty upon any prepayment of any Mortgage Loan that contains a Prepayment Penalty, the Servicer shall, at the time of such prepayment, deposit into the Custodial Account from the Servicer’s own funds an amount equal to the Prepayment Penalty that was not collected. Notwithstanding the above, the Servicer or its designee may waive a Prepayment Penalty without depositing the amount thereof into the Custodial Account the amount of the Prepayment Penalty if (i) the Mortgage Loan is in default or default by the related Mortgagor is, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable and such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Penalty and the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) the prepayment is not a result of a refinance by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates and (a) the Mortgage Loan is foreseen to be in default and such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Penalty and the related Mortgage Loan, (b) the collection of the Prepayment Penalty would be in violation of applicable laws or (c) the collection of such Prepayment Penalty would be considered “predatory” pursuant to written guidance published or issued by any applicable federal, state or local regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and having jurisdiction over such matters. The Servicer shall be obligated to collect Prepayment Penalties under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan without regard to the amount of Prepayment Penalty set forth for such loan in the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

Section 3.22

Actions with Respect to Distressed Mortgage Loans.

The Servicer will exercise its discretion, consistent with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the enforcement and servicing of Distressed Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest with respect thereto, including but not limited to the sale of such Mortgage Loan to a third party, the modification of such Mortgage Loan, or foreclosure upon the related Mortgaged Property and disposition thereof. The Majority Class X Certificateholders shall have the option to purchase any such loans from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price.

The Seller may appoint, with the written consent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, if any, a Special Servicer to special service any Distressed Mortgage Loans and any such Special Servicer so appointed shall report directly to the Master Servicer in executing its duties and obligations under this Section 3.22 or Article IIIA. Any applicable termination fee related to the termination of the Servicer and the appointment of any Special Servicer shall be paid by the Seller. Any fees paid to any such Special Servicer shall not exceed the Servicing Fee Rate. The Special Servicer shall have the same discretion as is granted to the Servicer above with respect to Distressed Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 3.8(a) for any unreimbursed Advances or accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees relating to any such Distressed Mortgage Loan that is transferred to a Special Servicer pursuant to this Section.

Section 3.23

Duties of the Credit Risk Manager.

The Certificateholders, by their purchase and acceptance of the Certificates, appoint MortgageRamp, LLC as Credit Risk Manager. For and on behalf of the Depositor, the Credit Risk Manager will provide reports and recommendations concerning certain delinquent and defaulted Mortgage Loans, and as to the collection of Prepayment Penalties with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Such reports and recommendations will be based upon information provided pursuant to the Credit Risk Management Agreements. The Credit Risk Manager shall look solely to the Servicer (or a subservicer on behalf of the Servicer) and the Master Servicer for all information and data (including loss and delinquency information and data) and loan level information and data relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Trustee shall have no obligation to provide any such information to the Credit Risk Manager.

Section 3.24

Limitation Upon Liability of the Credit Risk Manager.

Neither the Credit Risk Manager, nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Credit Risk Manager, shall be under any liability to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Certificateholders, the NIMS Insurer, if any, or the Depositor for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, in reliance upon information provided by the Servicer (or a subservicer on behalf of the Servicer) and the Master Servicer under the Credit Risk Management Agreements or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Credit Risk Manager or any such Person against liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful malfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in its performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this Agreement or the Credit Risk Management Agreements. The Credit Risk Manager and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Credit Risk Manager 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, and may rely in good faith upon the accuracy of information furnished by the Servicer (or a subservicer on behalf of the Servicer) and the Master Servicer pursuant to the Credit Risk Management Agreements in the performance of its duties thereunder and hereunder.

Section 3.25

Removal of Credit Risk Manager.

The Credit Risk Manager may be removed as Credit Risk Manager by the Depositor, in the exercise of its sole discretion, at any time, without cause, upon 90 days prior written notice. The Depositor shall provide such written notice to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, and upon receipt of such notice, the Securities Administrator shall provide written notice to the Credit Risk Manager of its removal, effective upon receipt of such notice.

ARTICLE IIIA

ADMINISTRATION AND MASTER SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 3A.1

Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and administration. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with the Servicer as necessary from time to time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicer and shall cause the Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by the Servicer under this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor the Servicer’s servicing activities with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicer’s and Master Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, prepare the statements specified in Section 4.4 and any other information and statements required to be provided by the Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicer to the Collection Account pursuant to the terms hereof based on information provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicer.

In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that the Servicer should be terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to the terms hereof with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute a Servicer Event of Default, the Master Servicer shall notify the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate.

Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action.

(c)

The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Servicer (or from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account if the Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all reasonable out-of-pocket or third party costs associated with the transfer of servicing from a predecessor Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the Master Servicer, from the Servicer immediately preceding the Master Servicer), including, without limitation, any reasonable out-of-pocket or third party costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Master Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Master Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively, upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.

Section 3A.5

Power to Act; Procedures.

The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, subject to the provisions of Article VII, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, 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, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and Accepted Master Servicing Practices; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities under Section 3A.3, shall not permit the Servicer to) knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, would result in an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Master Servicer) to the effect that the contemplated action will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event. The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing Officer, with any powers of attorney prepared and delivered to it and reasonably acceptable to it empowering the Master Servicer or the Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents prepared and delivered to it and reasonably acceptable to it, as the Master Servicer or the Servicer may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Servicer and shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer or the Servicer, as applicable, for any cost, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee in connection with such Person’s use or misuse of any such power of attorney). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 8.10. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee.

The Securities Administrator’s internet website shall initially be located at “xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx.” Assistance in using the website can be obtained by calling the Securities Administrator’s customer service desk at 0-000-000-0000. Parties that are unable to use the website are entitled to have a paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the customer service desk and indicating such.

The Securities Administrator shall be deemed to have satisfied this requirement if it forwards such information in any other format permitted by the Code.

Section 4.6

Basis Risk Reserve Fund.

(a)

On the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain in its name, in trust for the benefit of the holders of the LIBOR Certificates, the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, into which the Depositor shall deposit $1,000. The Basis Risk Reserve Fund shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including, without limitation, other moneys of the Securities Administrator held pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)

The Securities Administrator shall make withdrawals from the Basis Risk Reserve Fund to make distributions pursuant to Section 4.1(e) hereof.

(c)

Funds in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund shall be invested in Eligible Investments. Any earnings on such amounts shall be distributed on each Distribution Date to the Class X Certificateholders. The Class X Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Basis Risk Reserve Fund for federal income tax purposes and the Holder thereof shall direct the Securities Administrator, in writing, as to investment of amounts on deposit therein. The Class X Certificateholders shall be liable for any losses incurred on such investments. In the absence of written instructions from the Class X Certificateholder as to investment of funds on deposit in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, such funds shall be invested in the Xxxxx Fargo Prime Investment Money Market Fund or comparable investment vehicle. Any amounts on deposit in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund in excess of the Required Reserve Fund Amount on any Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Class X Certificateholders on the following Distribution Date. For all Federal income tax purposes, amounts transferred by the Upper Tier REMIC to the Basis Risk Reserve Fund shall be treated as amounts distributed by the Upper Tier REMIC to the Class X Certificateholders.

(d)

Upon termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts remaining in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund shall be distributed to the Class X Certificateholders.

Section 4.7

Supplemental Interest Trust.

(a)

On the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall establish and maintain in its name, a separate trust for the benefit of the holders of the LIBOR Certificates (the “Supplemental Interest Trust”) and an account (the “Supplemental Interest Trust Account”), into which the Depositor shall initially deposit $1,000. The Supplemental Interest Trust Account shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including, without limitation, other moneys of the Securities Administrator held pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)

The Securities Administrator shall deposit into the Supplemental Interest Trust Account any Net Swap Payment required pursuant to Sections 4.1(b), (c) and (d), any Swap Termination Payment required pursuant to Sections 4.1(b), (c) and (d), any amounts received from the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement and any amounts distributed from the Basis Risk Reserve Fund required pursuant to Sections 4.1(e)(iii)(O) and (xviii), and shall distribute from the Supplemental Interest Trust Account any Net Swap Payment required pursuant to Section 4.1(f)(i) or Swap Termination Payment required pursuant to Sections 4.1(f)(ii) and 4.1(f)(ix).

(c)

Funds in the Supplemental Interest Trust Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments. Any earnings on such amounts shall be distributed on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.1(f). The Class X Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Supplemental Interest Trust Account for federal income tax purposes and the Holder thereof shall direct the Trustee, in writing, as to investment of amounts on deposit therein. The Class X Certificateholders shall be liable for any losses incurred on such investments. In the absence of written instructions from The Class X Certificateholders as to investment of funds on deposit in the Supplemental Interest Trust Account, such funds shall be invested in the Xxxxx Fargo Prime Investment Money Market Fund or comparable investment vehicle. Any amounts on deposit in the Supplemental Interest Trust Account in excess of the Supplemental Interest Trust Amount on any Distribution Date shall be held for distribution pursuant to Section 4.1(f) on the following Distribution Date.

(d)

Upon termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts remaining in the Supplemental Interest Trust Account shall be distributed pursuant to the priorities set forth in Section 4.1(f).

(e)

It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trust be disregarded as an entity separate from the holder of the Class X Certificates unless and until the date when either (a) there is more than one Class X Certificateholder or (b) any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class X Certificates is recharacterized as an equity interest in the Supplemental Interest Trust for federal income tax purposes.

To the extent that the Supplemental Interest Trust is determined to be a separate legal entity from the Trustee, any obligation of the Trustee under the Swap Agreement shall be deemed to be an obligation of the Supplemental Interest Trust.

Promptly upon receipt of written notice of termination of the Swap Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall cause notice thereof to be mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Rating Agency, the Trustee and the Certificateholders at their last addresses appearing upon the Certificate Register.

Section 4.8

Rights of Swap Counterparty.

The Swap Counterparty shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a party hereto and shall have the right, upon designation of an “Early Termination Date” (as defined in the Swap Agreement), to enforce its rights under this Agreement, which rights include but are not limited to the obligation of the Securities Administrator (A) to deposit any Net Swap Payment required pursuant to Section 4.1(b), (c) and (d) and any Swap Termination Payment required pursuant to Sections 4.1(b), (c) and (d) into the Supplemental Interest Trust Account, (B) to deposit any amounts from the Basis Risk Reserve Fund required pursuant to Sections 4.1(e)(iii)(O) and (xviii) into the Supplemental Interest Trust Account, (C) to pay any Net Swap Payment required pursuant to Section 4.1(f)(i) or Swap Termination Payment required pursuant to Sections 4.1(f)(ii) and 4.1(f)(ix) to the Swap Counterparty and (D) to establish and maintain the Supplemental Interest Trust and the Supplemental Interest Trust Account, to make such deposits thereto, investments therein and distributions therefrom as are required pursuant to Section 4.7. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section the Swap Counterparty shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

ARTICLE V

THE CERTIFICATES

Section 5.1

The Certificates.

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

Subject to Section 9.2 hereof respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Securities Administrator shall make distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such Holder has so notified the Securities Administrator not later than the applicable Record Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold (A) 100% of the Class Principal Amount of any Class of Certificates or (B) Certificates of any Class with aggregate principal Denominations of not less than $1,000,000 or (y) by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register.

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

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

Section 5.2

Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a)

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

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

No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.

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

(b)

No Person shall transfer a Restricted Certificate unless such transfer (i) is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, (ii) is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws and (iii) is made in compliance with the provisions of this Section. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each certify to the Securities Administrator in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit F (the “Transferor Certificate”) and deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit G-1 (the “Investment Letter”) or Exhibit G-2 (the “Rule 144A Letter”). The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Restricted Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Securities Administrator shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Restricted Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer, if any, against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Securities Administrator shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator (in the event such Certificate is a Restricted Certificate, such requirement is satisfied only by the Securities Administrator’s receipt of a representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit H (or Exhibit E-2, in the case of a Residual Certificate)), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (collectively, a “Plan”), nor a Person acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of any such Plan to effect such transfer, (ii) if the ERISA-Restricted Certificate was the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying underwriting and the purchaser is an insurance company, a representation substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit H, to the effect that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificate with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and the acquisition and holding of the ERISA-Restricted Certificate are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60; or (iii) in the case of any such ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of such Plan or using such Plan’s assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator to the effect that the acquisition or holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not result in prohibited transactions under Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Servicer or the NIMS Insurer, if any, to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel will not be at the expense of any of the above parties or the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Securities Administrator of a representation letter or an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Securities Administrator as described above shall be void and of no effect. If the ERISA-Restricted Certificate is a Book-Entry Certificate, the transferee will be deemed to have made a representation as provided in (i) or (ii) of this paragraph, as applicable.

To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.2(b) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the foregoing requirements.

No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate shall be made unless the Securities Administrator shall have received a representation letter from the transferee of such Certificate, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit H, to the effect that either (i) such transferee is neither a Plan nor a Person acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of any such Plan to effect such transfer or (ii) the acquisition and holding of the ERISA- Restricted Swap Certificate are eligible for exemptive relief under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14, XXXX 00-0, XXXX 00-00, XXXX 95-60 or PTCE 96-23. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Securities Administrator of a representation letter as described above shall be void and of no effect. If the ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate is a Book-Entry Certificate, the transferee will be deemed to have made a representation as provided in clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph, as applicable.

If any ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate, or any interest therein, is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the next preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate, retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of an ERISA-Restricted Swap 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, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Servicer from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.

To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.2(b) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.

(c)

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

(i)

Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee.

(ii)

No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred (except for an initial registration on the Closing Date of the transfer to the Depositor (or an Affiliate thereof), the Trustee or the Securities Administrator), and the Securities Administrator shall not register the transfer of any Residual Certificate (except for an initial registration on the Closing Date of the transfer to the Depositor (or an Affiliate thereof), the Trustee or the Securities Administrator) unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the Securities Administrator under subparagraph (b) above, the Securities Administrator shall have been furnished with an affidavit of the Holder desiring to effect such transfer (a “Transferor Affidavit”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-1 and an affidavit of the proposed transferee (a “Transferee Affidavit”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-2.

(iii)

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

(iv)

Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.2(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.2(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.2(b) and this Section 5.2(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transferee Affidavit, Transferor Affidavit and either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Securities Administrator to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.

(v)

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

The restrictions on transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this Section 5.2(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to transfers occurring after delivery to the Securities Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, if any, of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator, the NIMS Insurer, if any, or the Depositor, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Securities Administrator, and the NIMS Insurer, if any, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the transfer of a Residual Certificate which is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.

(d)

The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above in this Section 5.2 in connection with transfer shall be at the expense of the parties to such transfers.

(e)

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

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

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

Section 5.3

Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Securities Administrator, or the Securities Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Securities Administrator that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall execute, countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.3, the Securities Administrator may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Securities Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 5.4

Persons Deemed Owners.

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

If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing from the Securities Administrator, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the communication which such Certificateholders propose to transmit, or if the Depositor shall request such information in writing from the Securities Administrator, then the Securities Administrator shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the Depositor or such Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any, at such recipients’ expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of such Trust Fund held by the Securities Administrator, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Securities Administrator shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section 5.6

Any Person into which the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Seller or the Credit Risk Manager may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Seller or the Credit Risk Manager shall be a party, or any person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Seller or the Credit Risk Manager shall be the successor of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller or the Credit Risk Manager, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to the Servicer shall be qualified to sell mortgage loans to, and to service mortgage loans on behalf of, FNMA or FHLMC.

(b)

Other than as provided in subsection (a) of this Section 6.2, in the event that the Servicer determines that it will no longer engage in the business of servicing residential mortgage loans, the Servicer shall so notify the Seller and the Depositor in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the Seller may transfer the servicing of the Mortgage Loans from the Servicer to a successor mortgage loan servicing company acceptable to the Master Servicer, each Rating Agency, the Class X Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any, and such mortgage loan servicing company shall assume, satisfy, perform and carry out all liabilities, duties, responsibilities and obligations that are to be, or otherwise were to have been, satisfied, performed and carried out by the resigning Servicer hereunder. If the Seller either (x) does not respond within thirty (30) calendar days to the notice delivered to it pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph or (y) advises the Servicer in writing that the Seller does not intend to exercise its right to transfer the servicing, then the Servicer may assign its rights under this Agreement to a successor mortgage loan servicing company acceptable to the Seller, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, each Rating Agency, the Class X Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any, provided that (i) each of the Seller, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, each Rating Agency, the Class X Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any, shall have delivered their consent to such assignment in writing to the Servicer and to each other such party, (ii) the consent of each Rating Agency shall be evidenced by a letter to the effect that the ratings assigned to any Class of Certificates will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result of such transfer and (iii) the Servicer shall be liable for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the resigning Servicer to a successor Servicer; and provided, further, that the resigning Servicer shall indemnify the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, each Certificateholder, the NIMS Insurer (if any), the successor Servicer and any subservicer for, and hold each such party harmless against, any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, and judgments, and any and all other costs, fees and expenses, that any such party may sustain in any related to such assignment. No assignment by the Servicer shall become effective until the requirements of this paragraph have been satisfied and a successor Servicer shall have entered into an agreement pursuant to which such successor shall assume, satisfy, perform and carry out all liabilities, duties, responsibilities and obligations that are to be, or otherwise were to have been, satisfied, performed and carried out by the resigning Servicer hereunder (other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor, which shall continue to be the responsibility of the resigning Servicer). Any such assignment shall not relieve the resigning Servicer of responsibility for any of its liabilities, duties, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that such liabilities, duties, responsibilities and obligations have been expressly assumed by the successor Servicer.

Section 6.3

Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller and Others.

None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller, the Credit Risk Manager or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller or the Credit Risk Manager shall be under any liability to 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 Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller, the Credit Risk Manager or any such Person against any breach of representations or warranties made by it herein or protect the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller, or the Credit Risk Manager or any such Person from any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller, the Credit Risk Manager, the Custodian and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller, the Credit Risk Manager or the Custodian 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 Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller, the Credit Risk Manager and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller, or the Credit Risk Manager shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any audit, controversy or judicial proceeding relating to a governmental taxing authority or any legal action relating to this Agreement or the performance of their respective obligations hereunder or under the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller, or the Credit Risk Manager shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its respective duties hereunder and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller, or the Credit Risk Manager may in its 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 interests of the Trustee and 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 Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller, and the Credit Risk Manager shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection Account.

Section 6.4

Limitation on Resignation of Servicer.

The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (a) upon appointment of a successor Servicer and receipt by the Master Servicer of a letter from each Rating Agency that such a resignation and appointment will not result in a downgrading of the rating of any of the Certificates, or (b) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination under clause (b) permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer, if any. No such resignation shall become effective until the Master Servicer or a successor Servicer shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder.

Section 6.5

Reporting Requirements of the Commission and Indemnification.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each of the Servicer and the Master Servicer (i) agrees to negotiate in good faith any amendment or modification (including an indemnification agreed to in connection therewith) to this Agreement as may be necessary, in the judgment of the Depositor and its counsel (as evidenced by an opinion of such counsel addressed to the Servicer and the Master Servicer), to comply with any rules promulgated by the Commission and any interpretations thereof by the staff of the Commission (collectively, “SEC Rules”) and (ii) shall with reasonable notice and upon written request within reasonable timeframes intended to comply with the SEC Rules provide to the Depositor for inclusion in any periodic report required to be filed under the Exchange Act such items of information regarding this Agreement and matters related to the Servicer or the Master Servicer, including as applicable (by way of example and not limitation), a description of any material litigation or governmental action or proceeding involving the Servicer, the Master Servicer or their respective affiliates (collectively, the “Servicer Information”), provided, that such information shall be required to be provided by the Servicer or the Master Servicer only to the extent that it shall be determined by the Depositor and its counsel (as evidenced by an opinion of such counsel addressed to the Servicer and the Master Servicer) to be necessary to comply with any SEC Rules.

ARTICLE VII

DEFAULT

Section 7.1

Events of Default.

(a)

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

(i)

any failure by the Servicer to (a) deposit in the Custodial Account or (b) remit to the Master Servicer any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement, which failure (x) in the case of clause (a) above, shall continue unremedied for five days, or (y) in the case of clause (b) above, shall continue unremedied for one Business Day, after (in each case) the date upon which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Servicer by the Master Servicer or the Depositor or to the Master Servicer by the Holders of Certificates having not less than 50% of the Voting Interests evidenced by the Certificates; or

(ii)

any failure by the Servicer to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Servicer contained in this Agreement, which failure materially affects the rights of Certificateholders, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Servicer by the Master Servicer, the Seller, or the Depositor, or to the Servicer and the Master Servicer by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Interests evidenced by the Certificates; provided, however, that the 60-day cure period shall not apply to the initial delivery of the Mortgage File for Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans nor the failure to substitute or repurchase in lieu thereof; or

(iii)

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

(iv)

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

(v)

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

(vi)

failure by the Servicer to maintain its license to do business or service residential mortgage loans in any jurisdiction, if required by such jurisdiction, where the Mortgaged Properties are located, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Servicer, except to the extent that such failure does not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel provided by the Servicer to the Seller, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer (if any) to the effect that such failure does not have a materially adverse effect on the Servicer’s ability to service the related Mortgage Loans, or on the Trust Fund; or

(vii)

the Servicer ceases to meet the qualifications of a Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac seller/servicer.

Upon determination by the Master Servicer that a Servicer Event of Default has occurred, the Master Servicer (a) may terminate the Servicer hereunder, if in its judgment such termination is in the best interests of the Trust Fund; or (b) shall terminate the Servicer hereunder, if instructed to do so by the NIMS Insurer, if any, the majority Class X Certificateholders or the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 50% of the Voting Interests evidenced by the Certificates exercised in writing following delivery to such Holders by the Master Servicer of notice of the occurrence of such Servicer Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.2(b).

Upon any such termination, the Seller shall enter into a substitute servicing arrangement with another mortgage loan servicing company acceptable to the Master Servicer, each Rating Agency, the Class X Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any, under which such mortgage loan servicing company shall assume, satisfy, perform and carry out all liabilities, duties, responsibilities and obligations that are to be, or otherwise were to have been, satisfied, performed and carried out by the terminated Servicer hereunder. In no case shall the termination of the Servicer due to a Servicer Event of Default become effective until the successor Servicer (which may include the Master Servicer) has succeeded to the obligations of Servicer under this Agreement, and the terminated Servicer shall be obligated to continue servicing the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement and shall be entitled to all rights and protections provided to the Servicer under this Agreement until such time as the successor Servicer shall have assumed in writing all of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement (the “Termination Period”), as provided in Section 3.4(e) of this Agreement. During the Termination Period, neither the successor Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall be responsible for the lack of information and documents that it cannot reasonably obtain on a practicable basis under the circumstances. As compensation to the Master Servicer or the successor Servicer for any servicing obligations fulfilled or assumed by such party, such party shall be entitled, following the Termination Period, to any servicing compensation to which the terminated Servicer would have been entitled if such Servicer had not been terminated. Additionally, the successor Servicer (whether the Master Servicer or an entity appointed by the Seller) shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Servicer (or from the Trust Fund if the Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all reasonable “out-of-pocket” costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor Servicer, including, without limitation, any reasonable “out-of-pocket” costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively.

(b)

Without regard to whether a Servicer Event of Default has occurred, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Seller shall terminate the Servicer hereunder and appoint a successor mortgage loan servicing company acceptable to the Master Servicer, each Rating Agency, the Class X Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any, under which such mortgage loan servicing company shall assume, satisfy, perform and carry out all liabilities, duties, responsibilities and obligations that are to be, or otherwise were to have been, satisfied, performed and carried out by the terminated Servicer hereunder.

(c)

Without regard to whether a Servicer Event of Default or a Servicer Termination Event has occurred, the Seller, as owner of the servicing rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans, shall retain the right, in its sole discretion and at any time with 30 days’ advance notice, without cause, to terminate the Servicer (including any successor thereto) hereunder and appoint a successor mortgage loan servicing company acceptable to the Master Servicer, each Rating Agency, the Class X Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any, under which such mortgage loan servicing company shall assume, satisfy, perform and carry out all liabilities, duties, responsibilities and obligations that are to be, or otherwise were to have been, satisfied, performed and carried out by the terminated Servicer hereunder. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.1(c), as a condition to such termination, the Servicer shall be fully reimbursed (i) by the successor Servicer or by the Seller (but not by the Master Servicer as successor Servicer) for all unreimbursed Advances, if any, made by it, and accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees, in each case on or prior to the date on which the servicing is transferred to a successor Servicer and (ii) by the Seller for any “out-of-pocket” costs incurred by the Servicer associated with the transfer of servicing by the Servicer.

(d)

Upon notice of termination of the Servicer pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 7.1, the Seller shall appoint a successor Servicer pursuant to Section 3.4.

(e)

Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Servicer hereunder and except as otherwise provided under Section 7.1(c), the Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of any payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to the notice terminating such Servicer’s rights and obligations as Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion thereof to which such Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.8(a)(i) through (viii), and any other amounts payable to the Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its activities hereunder.

In no event shall the termination of the Servicer under this Agreement result in any diminution of the Servicer’s right to reimbursement for any outstanding Advances or accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees due such Servicer at the time of termination. Except as otherwise provided under Section 7.1(c), the successor Servicer shall be obligated to promptly reimburse the terminated Servicer for outstanding Advances, if any, made by it, and accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees; provided, however, that such reimbursement obligation shall be limited to the funds available in the Custodial Account for such purposes pursuant to Sections 3.8(a)(ii), (iii) and (v) of this Agreement. In addition, any such reimbursement for outstanding Advances and accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees shall be made on a first in, first out (“FIFO”) basis no later than the 18^th day of each month, provided that the successor Servicer has received prior written notice from the appropriate party, pursuant to this Agreement, of such reimbursement amount, and provided, further, that the successor Servicer may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, fully reimburse the predecessor Servicer for any such outstanding Advances and accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees from its own funds. The Servicer shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.3, notwithstanding any termination hereunder, with respect to events occurring prior to such termination.

(f)

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

(i)

any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Distribution Account any amounts required to be remitted by it pursuant to this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for one Business Day, after the date upon which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor or by the Holders of Certificates having not less than 50% of the Voting Interests evidenced by the Certificates provided, however, that such failure to timely deposit or remit shall not be considered a Master Servicer Event of Default if the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same Person and such failure to timely deposit or remit does not delay distributions to Certificateholders; or

(ii)

any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement, or the breach by the Master Servicer of any representation and warranty contained in Section 2.3, which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Interests; or

(iii)

a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 90 days; or

(iv)

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

(v)

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

If a Master Servicer Event of Default shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 50% of Voting Interests evidenced by the Certificates, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Depositor if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the Depositor) with a copy to each Rating Agency, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise including, without limitation, the compensation payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, 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 Master Servicer agrees promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights under this Agreement (provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.3, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.1(f), the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Master Servicer Event of Default is received by the Trustee and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust or this Agreement. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default of which it has knowledge as provided above.

To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Trustee related to the termination of the Master Servicer, appointment of a successor Master Servicer or the transfer and assumption of the master servicing by the Trustee (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Master Servicer as a result of a Master Servicer Event of Default and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of the master servicing, including all master servicing files and all master servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such master servicing data as may be required by the successor Master Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the master servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor Master Servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Master Servicer, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Distribution Account.

In case a Master Servicer Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge has occurred and remains uncured, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to it that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument. If any such instrument is found not to conform in any material respect to the requirements of this Agreement, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall notify the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any, of such instrument in the event that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, after so requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument.

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

(i)

except, in the case of the Trustee, if a Master Servicer Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge shall have occurred and be continuing, the duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement which it believed in good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder;

(ii)

neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, or an officer or officers of the Securities Administrator, respectively, unless it shall be finally proven by a court having jurisdiction that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(iii)

neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Interests of Certificates relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Securities Administrator under this Agreement;

(iv)

neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or powers if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer or the Servicer under this Agreement except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer; and

(v)

without limiting the generality of this Section 8.1, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or deposit or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to the provision of any insurance, (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund other than from funds available in the Distribution Account (D) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Master Servicer or the Servicer delivered to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

If such corporation or association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.6 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.6, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.7 hereof. The entity serving as Trustee or Securities Administrator may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor and its affiliates.

Section 8.7

The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, each Rating Agency and the NIMS Insurer, if any, not less than 60 days before the date specified in such notice when, subject to Section 8.8, such resignation is to take effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee or securities administrator, as applicable, in accordance with Section 8.8 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.6. If no successor trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice or resignation, the resigning Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable.

If at any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.6 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to each of the Trustee, the Servicer and the successor trustee.

The NIMS Insurer, if any, and the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Interests each may at any time remove the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and appoint a successor trustee or securities administrator by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by the NIMS Insurer, if any, or such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered by the successor trustee to the Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to each Rating Agency and the NIMS Insurer, if any, by the successor trustee.

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.7 shall become effective upon acceptance by the successor trustee of appointment as provided in Section 8.8 hereof.

Section 8.8

Successor Trustee or Securities Administrator.

Any successor trustee or successor securities administrator appointed as provided in Section 8.7 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Seller, the NIMS Insurer, if any, its predecessor trustee and the Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee or predecessor securities administrator shall become effective and such successor trustee or successor securities administrator, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee or securities administrator herein. The Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller, and the NIMS Insurer, if any, and the predecessor trustee or predecessor securities administrator shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee or successor securities administrator all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.

No successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.8 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.6 hereof, and such appointment shall not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or successor securities administrator as provided in this Section 8.8, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee or securities administrator hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or successor securities administrator, the successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.

Section 8.9

Any corporation into which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, shall be the successor of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.6 hereof, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 8.10

Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any, such title to the Trust Fund or any part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.6 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.8.

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

(i)

To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and each such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that each such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the applicable Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

(ii)

No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee or co-trustee as agent of the Trustee;

(iii)

The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee; and

(iv)

The Trust Fund, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and indemnification to any such separate trustee or co-trustee.

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

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

Section 8.11

Tax Matters.

(a)

It is intended that the assets with respect to which the REMIC elections are to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and that the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such assets as, REMICs as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Tax Matters Person covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Tax Matters Person is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of each such REMIC and that in such capacity it shall: (i) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to each such REMIC (including IRS Form 8811, or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service, in the time and manner specified in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-7(b)(1)), containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules and prepare, or cause to be prepared, and make available, or cause to be made available, to the Certificateholders and the Securities Administrator the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby, including the information described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-7(e)(2) in the time and manner specified in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-7(e)(3); (ii) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax); (iii) pay, or cause to be paid, the amount of any federal, state or local tax, including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on any such REMIC prior to its termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Tax Matters Person, on behalf of the Trustee, or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Tax Matters Person, on behalf of the Trustee, from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (iv) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other person as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; (v) maintain, or cause to be maintained, records relating to any such REMIC, including but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities thereof and the fair market value and adjusted basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information; and (vi) as and when necessary and appropriate, represent, or arrange for the representation of, any such REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any such REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of any such REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of any such REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it.

The Securities Administrator covenants and agrees that it shall (i) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders, the NIMS Insurer, if any, the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns on IRS Form 1099 as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions; (ii) to the extent that they are under its control, conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of each REMIC created hereunder under the REMIC Provisions; and (iii) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause an Adverse REMIC Event.

To enable the Tax Matters Person, on behalf of the Trustee, to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Tax Matters Person within 10 days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Tax Matters Person requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Tax Matters Person promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Tax Matters Person may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Tax Matters Person to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Tax Matters Person for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Tax Matters Person arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Tax Matters Person that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Tax Matters Person on a timely basis. The indemnification of this subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Tax Matters Person.

Each of the Tax Matters Person, the Depositor and the Servicer covenants and agrees that (i) it shall, to the extent such matters are under its control, conduct matters relating to the assets of the Trust Fund at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of each REMIC created hereunder under the REMIC Provisions (and, with respect to matters that are under its control and which are otherwise required to be performed by the Tax Matters Person pursuant to this Agreement, the Tax Matters Person shall maintain the treatment of each of the Basis Risk Reserve Fund and the Supplemental Interest Trust and the rights with respect to payments from each of the Basis Risk Reserve Fund and the Supplemental Interest Trust as provided in paragraph (b) below), and (ii) it shall not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause an Adverse REMIC Event.

(b)

The Tax Matters Person shall treat each of the Basis Risk Reserve Fund and the Supplemental Interest Trust as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) that is owned by the Holders of the Class X Certificates and that is not an asset of any REMIC and all amounts deposited into the Basis Risk Reserve Fund or the Supplemental Interest Trust shall be treated as amounts distributed to the Class X Certificateholders.

(c)

The Tax Matters Person shall treat the Owners of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class X and Class R Certificates) as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the Owners of the Class X Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all Owners of LIBOR Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Owners of the Class X Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the interest in the Upper Tier REMIC corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class I Shortfall”). A Class I Shortfall payable from interest collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Certificates based on the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Certificates, and a Class I Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the Owner of the Class X Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Basis Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls to the Owners of the LIBOR Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments to the Certificates in light of the foregoing shall not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment from the Certificates of a Class I Shortfall shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the Owners of such Certificates in respect of their Interests in the Upper Tier REMIC and as having been paid by such Owners to the Supplemental Interest Trust pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each LIBOR Certificate shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests in the Upper Tier REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in (and obligations with respect to) a notional principal contract. For tax purposes, the notional principal contract shall be deemed to have a value of $10,000.

(d)

Notwithstanding the priority and sources of payments set forth in Article IV hereof or otherwise, the Tax Matters Person shall account for all distributions on the Certificates as set forth in this section. In no event shall any payments of Basis Risk Shortfalls or Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls provided for in this section be treated as payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).

(e)

The Preliminary Statement to this Agreement sets forth the designations and “latest possible maturity date” for federal income tax purposes of all interests in each of the REMICs created hereby. Each REMIC’s fiscal year shall be the calendar year.”

Section 8.12

The Form 10-K shall include the certification required pursuant to Rule 13a-14 under the Exchange Act and any future guidance from the Commission (the “Form 10-K Certification”) signed by or on behalf of the Depositor. The Depositor hereby grants to the Securities Administrator a limited power of attorney to execute and file each Form 8-K on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until either the earlier of (i) receipt by the Securities Administrator from the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund. The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Securities Administrator, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports, and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the Securities Administrator reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. The Securities Administrator shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this section.

If so requested, the Securities Administrator shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L) for the benefit of the Person(s) signing the Form 10-K Certification regarding certain aspects of such Form 10-K Certification (provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall not be required to undertake an analysis of the accountant’s report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K).

(c)

Each Person (including their officers or directors) that signs any Form 10-K Certification shall be entitled to indemnification from the Trust Fund for any liability or expense incurred by it in connection with such certification, other than any liability or expense attributable to such Person’s own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct. The provisions of this subsection shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of such Person.

(d)

Upon any filing with the Commission, the Securities Administrator shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any executed report, statement or information.

(e)

The fiscal year of the Trust Fund for all filing purposes shall be the calendar year.

(f)

For so long as a certificate under the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, as amended (“Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx”) is required to be delivered on behalf of the Trust Fund, a Servicing Officer shall execute and deliver on March 15 of each applicable year, commencing in 2006, an Officer’s Certificate to the Depositor for the benefit of the Depositor and its officers, directors and affiliates, in the form of Exhibit K hereto (or such other form as may be prescribed by the Commission).

Section 8.13

Reporting Requirements of the Commission and Indemnification

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that, following the Closing Date, the contents of Forms 8-K, 10-K or other Forms required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission, or the time by which such Forms are required to be filed, differ from the provisions of this Agreement, the Securities Administrator hereby agrees that it shall reasonably cooperate to amend the provisions of this Agreement (in accordance with Section 10.1) in order to comply with such amended reporting requirements. Any such amendment to this Agreement may result in the reduction or increase of the reports filed under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities Administrator shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section that adversely affects its obligations and immunities under this Agreement.

Section 8.14

The Custodian shall be entitled to all of the benefits, rights (including any rights of indemnification and any rights of resignation) and immunities set forth in this Article VIII with respect to the Trustee and/or the Securities Administrator to the same extent as though each reference to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator referred to the Custodian. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Custodian shall not be entitled to receive any additional compensation for serving as custodian hereunder and (ii) so long as Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. is the Master Servicer, the Custodian and the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to resign upon the resignation or removal of the Master Servicer.

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION

Section 9.1

Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of all Mortgage Loans.

(a)

Subject to Section 9.3, the obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee created hereby with respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of:

(i)

the purchase by the Majority Class X Certificateholders or their designee (or the NIMS Insurer or the Servicer, to the extent provided herein) of all Mortgage Loans (including REO Properties not otherwise disposed of pursuant to Section 3.11(i)) remaining in the Trust Fund at a price equal to the sum of (A) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan, (B) the lesser of (x) the appraised value of any REO Property as determined by a real estate broker meeting the qualifications, and applying broker’s price opinion methodology, generally acceptable to residential mortgage servicers, or other property valuation opinion methodology customarily used by residential mortgage servicers with respect to defaulted loans and (y) the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property, (C) any costs and damages incurred by the Trust Fund as a result of violation of any applicable federal, state or local predatory or abusive lending law in connection with the origination of any Mortgage Loan, (D) any Swap Termination Payment payable to the Swap Counterparty as a result of a termination pursuant to this Section 9.1. In addition, such purchase price shall include with respect to the Mortgage Loans (including REO Properties) accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as determined by the Servicer, at the applicable Mortgage Rate, except to the extent the Servicer was not or would not be required to make a Delinquency Advance hereunder, and any and all amounts payable or reimbursable to the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Custodian, the Securities Administrator and/or the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; and

(ii)

the later of (A) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Delinquency Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property and (B) the distribution to Certificateholders and the Swap Counterparty of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement. In no event shall the trusts created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the 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, and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

The right to purchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to clause (i) above shall be conditioned upon the Pool Balance, at the time of any such repurchase, aggregating less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Balance.

If the Majority Class X Certificateholders fail to exercise their option to purchase the Mortgage Loans on the first Distribution Date on which they are entitled to do so, the NIMS Insurer, if any, so long as either the NIM Securities remain outstanding and are covered by the NIMS Insurer’s, if any, guaranty or if the NIMS Insurer, if any, is owed amounts in respect of its guaranty of the NIM Securities, may exercise such option. In addition, at any time after the Pool Balance aggregates less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Balance, provided that the NIM Securities are no longer outstanding, the Servicer may notify the Majority Class X Certificateholders in writing that the Servicer intends to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for the purchase price specified in clause (i) above. If the Majority Class X Certificateholders do not exercise their option to purchase the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as provided in this Section within 30 days following receipt of such notice, the Servicer may effect such purchase.

Each of the Majority Class X Certificateholders (by the purchase and acceptance of the Class X Certificates) and the NIMS Insurer, if any, will agree, and the Servicer hereby agrees, not to cause the liquidation of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.1(a) so long as any NIM Securities remain outstanding.

(b)

With respect to any purchase pursuant to subsection (a), upon deposit of the price determined pursuant to subsection (a)(i) in the Distribution Account, the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall release or cause to be released to the purchaser of each such Mortgage Loan the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan (including appropriate instruments with respect to any REO Property), in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan any Mortgage Loan sold pursuant hereto, and the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall succeed to all the Trustee’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan and all security and documents related thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. The purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall thereupon own such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect thereto.

Section 9.2

Final Distribution on the Certificates.

If on any Determination Date the Securities Administrator determines that there are no outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the funds in the Collection Account, the Securities Administrator shall promptly send a final distribution notice to each Certificateholder and the NIMS Insurer, if any. If the Majority Class X Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, if any, elect to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a)(i) of Section 9.1, at least 20 days prior to the date notice is to be mailed to the affected Certificateholders, the Majority Class X Certificateholders shall notify the Depositor, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator of the date the Majority Class X Certificateholders intend to terminate the Trust Fund and of the applicable repurchase price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.

Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the Distribution Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Securities Administrator by letter to Certificateholders, the NIMS Insurer, if any, and the Swap Counterparty, mailed not earlier than the 10^th day and no later than the 15^th day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount of such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made, and (d) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein specified. The Securities Administrator will give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.

In the event such notice is given, the Securities Administrator shall cause all funds in the Collection Account to be remitted to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account on the Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date in an amount equal to the sum of (i) an amount sufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Servicer (or subservicer) for any amounts to be reimbursed to such Persons pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the final distribution in respect of the Certificates and any Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Counterparty (to the extent not paid on previous Distribution Dates). Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund and the receipt by the Custodian of a Request for Release therefor, the Custodian shall promptly release to the Majority Class X Certificateholders, the NIMS Insurer, if any, or the Servicer, as applicable, the Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans.

Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class, in the order set forth in Section 4.2 hereof, on the final Distribution Date, in the case of the Certificateholders, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal to (i) as to each Class of Regular Certificates, the Class Principal Balance thereof plus accrued interest thereon (or on their Class Notional Amount, if applicable) in the case of an interest bearing Certificate, and (ii) as to the Residual Certificates, the amount, if any, which remains on deposit in the Distribution Account (other than the amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause (i) above.

In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above-mentioned written 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 six months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year after the second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the holder of each of the Class R Certificates shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the REMICs held for distribution to such Certificateholders, which remain subject hereto.

Section 9.3

Additional Termination Requirements.

(a)

In the event the Majority Class X Certificateholders exercise their purchase option or the Servicer exercises its purchase option, each as provided in Section 9.1, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Securities Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, if any, have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Securities Administrator, to the effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.3 will not result in an adverse REMIC Event:

(i)

The Trustee shall sell all of the assets that constitute the Trust Fund for cash as provided in Section 9.1(a)(i), and, within 90 days of such sale (such period the “90-day liquidation period”), shall distribute to (or credit to the account of) the Holders of the Certificates the proceeds of such sale together with other cash on hand (less amounts retained to meet claims) in complete liquidation of the Trust Fund and each REMIC created hereunder; and

(ii)

The Tax Matters Person shall attach (or cause to be attached) a statement to the final federal income tax return for each REMIC created hereunder stating that pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.860F-1, the first day of the 90-day liquidation period for each such REMIC was the date on which the Trustee sold the assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(i).

(b)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the portion of the purchase price required to be paid by Section 9.1(a)(i) that is contained in clause (D) thereof shall not be paid to any REMIC formed hereby. Instead, such amount shall be paid by the purchaser directly to the holder of the Class X Certificates pursuant to a cash settled option contract. As a result, such amount shall not be paid to any REMIC or distributed by any REMIC.

(c)

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

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 10.1

Amendment.

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian, the Credit Risk Manager and the Trustee without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, the NIMS Insurer, if any, or the Swap Counterparty (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to cause the provisions herein to conform to or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made with respect to the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement in any disclosure document pursuant to which any Certificates were offered; to correct any defective provision herein or to supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, (iii) to add, with such Person’s consent, to the duties of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian, the Credit Risk Manager or the Trustee, (iv) to add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising hereunder, (v) to modify, alter, amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or provisions contained in this Agreement or (vi) to comply with any rules promulgated by the Commission; provided that any action pursuant to clauses (iv) or (v) above shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed and delivered to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, if any, and the Swap Counterparty (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, the NIMS Insurer, if any, or the Swap Counterparty; provided, however, that the amendment shall not be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, if any, if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates; it being understood and agreed that any such letter in and of itself will not represent a determination as to the materiality of any such amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit issues affecting any such rating. The Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian, the Credit Risk Manager and the Trustee also may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement without the consent of the Certificateholders, the NIMS Insurer, if any, or the Swap Counterparty, to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or helpful to (i) maintain the qualification of each REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC under the Code, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any such REMIC pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates or (iii) comply with any other requirements of the Code, provided that the Trustee has been provided an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such action is necessary or helpful to, as applicable, (i) maintain such qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax or (iii) comply with any such requirements of the Code.

This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian, the Credit Risk Manager and the Trustee with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, if any, the Swap Counterparty and the Holders of a Majority Interest of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in (i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating 66%, or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all such Certificates then outstanding.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such amendment will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.

Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the NIMS Insurer, if any, the Swap Counterparty, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall furnish written notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.

Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any, that (i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and that all requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and (ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth in the immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this Section 10.1.

Section 10.2

Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

This Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Securities Administrator at its expense, but only upon direction by the NIMS Insurer, if any, or by a majority of the Certificateholders to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, if any. However, the foregoing sentence notwithstanding, the Servicer may provide copies hereof to counsel, judicial officers and government agencies, or may cause this Agreement to be recorded, in any jurisdiction in which, in the Servicer’s judgment, such disclosure or recording may facilitate foreclosure or other recovery with respect to any one or more of the Mortgage Loans.

For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed (by facsimile or otherwise) simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 10.3

Governing Law.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

Section 10.4

Intention of Parties.

It is the express intent of the Seller (as provided in the Sale Agreement) and the Depositor that the conveyance of the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof to the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge thereof by the Depositor to the Trustee. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of such parties, such assets are 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 such assets, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the conveyance provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any, of a security interest in all of the assets that constitute the Trust Fund and the Supplemental Interest Trust, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (such security interest being, to the extent of the assets that constitute the Supplemental Interest Trust, pari passu with the security interest as provided in clause (iii) below); and (iii) the Swap Counterparty shall be deemed, during the term of such agreement and while such agreement is the property of the Trustee, to have a security interest in all of the assets that constitute the Supplemental Interest Trust, but only to the extent of such Swap Counterparty’s right to payment under the Swap Agreement (such security interest being pari passu with the security interest as provided in clause (ii) above).

The Depositor, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Trust Fund, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange for filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with any security interest granted or assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any.

Section 10.5

Notices.

(a)

The Securities Administrator shall use its best efforts to promptly provide notice to each Rating Agency, the NIMS Insurer, if any, and the Swap Counterparty with respect to each of the following of which it has actual knowledge:

(i)

any material change or amendment to this Agreement;

(ii)

the occurrence of any Event of Default that has not been cured;

(iii)

the resignation or termination of the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee and the appointment of any successor;

(iv)

the repurchase or substitution of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof;

(v)

the final payment to Certificateholders; and

(vi)

any rating action involving the long-term credit rating of the Trustee, which notice shall be made by first-class mail within two Business Days after the Trustee gains actual knowledge thereof.

In addition, the Securities Administrator shall promptly furnish to each Rating Agency, the NIMS Insurer, if any, and the Swap Counterparty copies of the following:

(i)

Each report to Certificateholders described in Section 4.5 hereof;

(ii)

Upon request, each annual statement as to compliance described in Section 3.16 hereof;

(iii)

Upon request, each annual Independent public accountants’ servicing report described in Section 3.17 hereof; and

(iv)

Any notice of a purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.3 or 3.11 hereof.

(b)

All directions, demands, authorizations, consents, waivers, communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by first class mail, facsimile or courier to the applicable Notice Address. Notices to Certificateholders shall be deemed given when mailed, first class postage prepaid, to their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.

Section 10.6

Severability of Provisions.

If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.

Section 10.7

Assignment.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as provided in Section 6.2, this Agreement may not be assigned by the Servicer without the prior written consent of the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Depositor and any NIMS Insurer.

Section 10.8

Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.

The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the trust created hereby, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or winding up of the trust created hereby, or otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.

No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third party by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, and the NIMS Insurer, if any, a written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided, and unless the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Interests evidenced by the Certificates shall, with the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer, if any, also have made written request to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates or the NIMS Insurer, if any, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or the NIMS Insurer, if any, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the common benefit of all Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 10.8, each and every Certificateholder, the NIMS Insurer, if any, and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Section 10.9

Inspection and Audit Rights.

The Servicer agrees that, on five Business Days’ prior notice, it will permit and will cause each subservicer to permit any representative of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the NIMS Insurer, if any, during the Servicer’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Servicer relating to the Mortgage Loans, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by independent certified public accountants selected by the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the NIMS Insurer, if any, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts relating to the Mortgage Loans with its officers, employees and independent public accountants (and by this provision the Trustee hereby authorizes said accountants to discuss with such representative such affairs, finances and accounts), all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. Any out-of-pocket expense incident to the exercise by the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the NIMS Insurer, if any, of any right under this Section 10.9 shall be borne by the party requesting such inspection (which, in the case of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, shall be reimbursable to such Person from funds then on deposit in the Distribution Account); all other such expenses shall be borne by the Servicer or the related subservicer. The party requesting such inspection agrees to hold all such information in confidence and shall not disclose such information without the consent of the Servicer (unless required by law or a court of applicable jurisdiction).

Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. Nothing in this Section 10.9 shall require the Servicer to collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information that it does not generate in its usual course of business, except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be required to make copies of or ship documents to any party unless provisions have been made for the reimbursement of the costs thereof.

Section 10.10

Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid.

It is the intention of the Depositor that Certificateholders shall not be personally liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests in the Trust Fund represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for any reason whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due authentication thereof by the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, are and shall be deemed fully paid.

Section 10.11

Limitations on Actions; No Proceedings.

(a)

Other than pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with or incidental to the provisions or purposes of this Agreement, the trust created hereunder shall not (i) issue debt or otherwise borrow money, (ii) merge or consolidate with any other entity reorganize, liquidate or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity, or (iii) otherwise engage in any activity or exercise any power not provided for in this Agreement.

(b)

Notwithstanding any prior termination of this Agreement, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller, the Credit Risk Manager and the Depositor shall not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the termination of this Agreement, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause any Person to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Depositor or the Trust Fund under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Depositor or the Trust Fund or any substantial part of their respective property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Depositor or the Trust Fund.

Section 10.12

Mortgage Data.

The Depositor hereby represents to S&P that, to the Depositor’s knowledge, the information provided to such Rating Agency, including any loan level detail, is true and correct according to such Rating Agency’s requirements.

Section 10.13

Benefits of Agreement; Additional Rights of NIMS Insurer.

(a)

The NIMS Insurer, if any, shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a party hereto, and shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Certificates, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement, the parties designated in the Agreement as third-party beneficiaries and their successors hereunder, the Holders of the Certificates and the NIMS Insurer, if any, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under this Agreement.

(b)

Each party to this Agreement and any agent thereof and any successor thereto shall furnish to the NIMS Insurer a copy of any notice, direction, demand, opinion, schedule, list, certificate, report, statement, filing, information, data or other communication provided by it or on its behalf to any other Person pursuant to this Agreement at the same time, in the same form and in the same manner as such communication is so provided and shall address or cause such communication to be addressed to the NIMS Insurer, if any, in addition to any other addressee thereof. The Servicer shall cause the NIMS Insurer, if any, to be an addressee of any report furnished pursuant to this Agreement.

(c)

Wherever in this Agreement there shall be a requirement that there be no downgrade, reduction, withdrawal or qualification of or other effect on the rating of any Class of Certificates by any Rating Agency as of any date, there also shall be deemed to be a requirement that there be no such effect on any class of notes issued pursuant to the Indenture and guaranteed by the NIMS Insurer, if any, as of such date. In addition, unless there exists a continuance of any failure by the NIMS Insurer, if any, to make a required payment under the policy insuring the NIM Securities, if any (such event a “NIMS Insurer Default”), wherever in this Agreement there shall be a requirement that any Person or any communication, object or other matter be acceptable or satisfactory to or otherwise receive the consent or other approval of any other Person (whether as a condition to the eligibility of such Person to act in any capacity, as a condition to any circumstance or state of affairs related to such matter, or otherwise), there also shall be deemed to be a requirement that such Person or matte be approved in writing by the NIMS Insurer, if any, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 10.14

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the sale by______________(the “Seller”) to ___________(the “Purchaser”) of _______% Percentage Interest of Aegis Asset Backed Securities Trust Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2005-4, Class R (the “Certificate”), pursuant to Section 5.2(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”) dated as of August 1, 2005, among Aegis Asset Backed Securities Corporation, as Depositor, Aegis Mortgage Corporation, as Seller, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer, Securities Administrator and Custodian, Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC, as Servicer, MortgageRamp, LLC, as Credit Risk Manager, and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Trustee. All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Seller hereby certifies, represents and warrants to, and covenants with the Depositor and the Trustee that:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That the Purchaser hereby acknowledges that under the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2005 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Aegis Asset Backed Securities Corporation, as Depositor, Aegis Mortgage Corporation, as Seller, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer, Securities Administrator and Custodian, Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC, as Servicer, MortgageRamp, LLC, as Credit Risk Manager, and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Trustee, with respect to Aegis Asset Backed Securities Trust Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2005-4 no transfer of the Residual Certificates shall be permitted to be made to any person unless the Trustee has received a certificate from such transferee containing the representations in paragraphs 3 and 4 hereof.

14.

That the Purchaser agrees to such amendments of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as may be required to further effectuate the restrictions on transfer of any Residual Certificate to such a “disqualified organization,” an agent thereof, a Book-Entry Nominee, or a person that does not satisfy the requirements of paragraph 7 and paragraph 10 hereof.

15.

That the Purchaser consents to the designation of the Trustee to act as agent for the “tax matters person” of each REMIC created by the Trust Fund pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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