PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

The Depositor intends to sell pass‑through certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust. The Certificates will consist of twenty-one classes of certificates, designated as (i) the Class I-A Certificates, (ii) the Class II-A1 Certificates, (iii) the Class II-A2 Certificates, (iv) the Class II-A3 Certificates, (v) the Class II‑A4 Certificates, (vi) the Class II-A5 Certificates, (vii) the Class M‑1 Certificates, (viii) the Class M-2 Certificates, (ix) the Class M-3 Certificates, (x) the Class M‑4 Certificates, (xi) the Class M‑5 Certificates, (xii) the Class M‑6 Certificates, (xiii) the Class M‑7 Certificates, (xiv) the Class M‑8 Certificates, (xv) the Class M‑9 Certificates, (xvi) the Class C Certificates, (xvii) the Class P Certificates, (xviii) the Class R Certificates, (xix) the Class R‑CX Certificates and (xx) the Class R‑PX Certificates.

REMIC 1

As provided herein, the Trustee shall make an election to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement (exclusive of the Reserve Fund, the Supplemental Interest Trust, the Final Maturity Reserve Trust, the Interest Coverage Account and the Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts) as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as “REMIC 1.” The Class R‑1 Interest shall represent the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC 1 for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein) under federal income tax law. The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the Uncertificated REMIC 1 Pass‑Through Rate, the initial Uncertificated Principal Balance, and solely for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section 1.860G‑1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date” for each of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests. None of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests will be certificated.

CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;
ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.01 Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.

The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trust, without recourse, all the right, title and interest of the Depositor, including any security interest therein for the benefit of the Depositor, in and to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the rights of the Depositor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (other than the Depositor’s rights under Section 17 thereof) and all other assets included or to be included in REMIC 1. Such assignment includes all scheduled payments on the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date and all unscheduled collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans received after the Cut-off Date (other than the portion of such collections due on or prior to the Cut-off Date). The REMIC 1 Regular Interests, REMIC 1 Regular Interest IX and the Class R‑1 Interest shall collectively be a separate series of beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust consisting of the Trust Fund assets included in the definition of REMIC 1 pursuant to Section 3806(b)(2) of the Statutory Trust Statute. The Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee an executed copy of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the PMI Policy.

The Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely in its separate capacity as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, is hereby directed to exercise the rights, perform the obligations, and make any representations to be exercised, performed, or made by the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as described herein. The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee is hereby directed to execute and deliver the Swap Agreement on behalf of Party B (as defined therein) and to exercise the rights, perform the obligations, and make the representations of Party B thereunder, solely in its capacity as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee on behalf of Party B (as defined therein) and not in its individual capacity.

The Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor and the Certificateholders (by acceptance of their Certificates) acknowledge and agree that:

(i) the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall execute and deliver the Swap Agreement on behalf of Party B (as defined therein), and

(ii) the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall exercise the rights, perform the obligations, and make the representations of Party B thereunder, solely in its capacity as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee on behalf of Party B (as defined therein) and not in its individual capacity.

Every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall apply to the Trustee’s execution (as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee) of the Swap Agreement, and the performance of its duties and satisfaction of its obligations thereunder.

If the assignment and transfer of the Mortgage Loans and the other property specified in Section 2.01 from the Depositor to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement is held or deemed not to be a sale or is held or deemed to be a pledge of security for a loan, the Depositor intends that the rights and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and that, in such event, (i) the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trust as of the Closing Date a perfected, first priority security interest in the entire right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Mortgage Loans and all other property conveyed to the Trust pursuant to this Section 2.01 and all proceeds thereof and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor does hereby deliver to, and deposit with, the Custodian acting on behalf of the Trustee (in which capacity it will, unless otherwise specified, be acting under this Article II) the following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so transferred and assigned (with respect to each Mortgage Loan, a “Mortgage File”):

(a) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank or in the following form: “Pay to the order of Citibank, N.A., as Trustee under the applicable agreement, without recourse,” with all prior and intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of endorsement from the originator to the Person so endorsing to the Trustee or (in the case of not more than 1.00% of the Mortgage Loans, by aggregate principal balance as of the Cut‑off Date) a copy of such original Mortgage Note with an accompanying Lost Note Affidavit executed by the Seller;

(b) the original Mortgage, noting the presence of the MIN of the Mortgage Loan and language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan if the Mortgage Loan is a MOM loan, with evidence of recording thereon, and a copy, certified by the appropriate recording office, of the recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a power of attorney, with evidence of recording thereon;

(d) the original recorded Assignment or Assignments showing a complete chain of assignment from the originator to the Person assigning the Mortgage to the Trustee or in blank (or to MERS, if the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® System and noting the presence of the MIN) as contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (c);

(e) the original or copies of each assumption, modification, written assurance or substitution agreement, if any; and

(f) as an original, photocopy or in electronic form, the lender’s title insurance policy, together with all endorsements or riders issued with or subsequent to the issuance of such policy, insuring the priority of the Mortgage as a first or second lien on the Mortgaged Property represented therein as a fee interest vested in the Mortgagor, or in the event such title policy is unavailable, a written commitment or uniform binder or preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow company.

Except with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which MERS is identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage as the mortgagee of record, the Servicer, in its capacity as Seller, shall promptly, following the later of the Closing Date and the date of receipt by the Servicer of the recording information for a Mortgage submit or cause to be submitted for recording, at no expense to the Trust, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the Depositor, in the appropriate public office for real property records, each Assignment referred to in Sections 2.01(c) and (d) above and shall execute each original Assignment referred to in clause (c) above in the following form: “Citibank, N.A., as Trustee under applicable agreement, without recourse.” In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Servicer, in its capacity as Seller, shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Assignments shall not be required to be completed and submitted for recording with respect to any Mortgage Loan if each Rating Agency does not require recordation in order for such Rating Agency to assign the initial ratings to the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Other NIM Notes and the initial shadow rating to the Insured NIM Notes, without giving effect to any insurance policy issued by the NIMS Insurer; provided, however, each such Assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Servicer, in its capacity as Seller, in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust, the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Seller, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 hereof and (v) if the Seller is not the Servicer and with respect to any one Assignment, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Servicer is unable to pay the cost of recording the Assignments, such expense shall be paid by the Trustee and shall be reimbursable to the Trustee as an Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense.

In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS® System, the Depositor further agrees that it shall cause, within 30 Business Days after the Closing Date, the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Depositor to the Trust in accordance with this Agreement by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trust and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Depositor further agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit the Servicer to, and the Servicer agrees that it shall not, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

If any of the documents referred to in Sections 2.01(b), (c), (d) or (e) above (collectively, the “Recording Documents”) has as of the Closing Date been submitted for recording but either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office or (y) has been lost or such public recording office has retained the original of such document, the obligations of the Servicer, in its capacity as the Seller, to deliver such Recording Documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) of a copy of each such Recording Document certified by the Seller in the case of (x) above or the applicable public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and complete copy of the original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such copy is certified by the Seller, delivery to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) promptly upon receipt thereof, and in any event no later than one year after the Closing Date, of either the original or a copy of such Recording Document certified by the applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original. In instances where, due to a delay on the part of the recording office where any such Recording Documents have been delivered for recordation, the Recording Documents cannot be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) within one year after the Closing Date, the Servicer, in its capacity as the Seller, shall deliver to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) within such time period an Officer’s Certificate stating the date by which the Servicer, in its capacity as the Seller, expects to receive such Recording Documents from the applicable recording office. In the event that Recording Documents have still not been received by the Servicer, in its capacity as the Seller, and delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) by the date specified in its previous Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), as the case may be, the Servicer, in its capacity as the Seller, shall deliver to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) by such date an additional Officer’s Certificate stating a revised date by which the Servicer, in its capacity as the Seller, expects to receive the applicable Recording Documents. This procedure shall be repeated until the Recording Documents have been received by the Servicer, in its capacity as the Seller, and delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee). If the original lender’s title insurance policy was not delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(f) above, the Servicer, in its capacity as the Seller, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) promptly after receipt thereof, and in any event within 120 days after the Closing Date, the original lender’s title insurance policy. The Servicer, in its capacity as the Seller, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) promptly upon receipt thereof any other original documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.

All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) are and shall be held by or on behalf of the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the Trust. In the event that any such original document is required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered promptly to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee). Any such original document delivered to or held by the Depositor that is not required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, shall be delivered promptly to the Servicer.

Notwithstanding any term hereof to the contrary, it is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that so long as there is a Custodian action on behalf of the Trustee, all Mortgage Files (including all documents comprising Mortgage Files) and all Recording Documents shall be delivered exclusively to the Custodian (unless otherwise expressly directed by the Trustee).

The Mortgage Loans permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be included in the Trust are limited to (i) the Mortgage Loans (which the Depositor acquired pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, which contains, among other representations and warranties, a representation and warranty of the Seller that no Mortgage Loan is a “high-cost” or “predatory” loan under any state or local law or regulation applicable to the originator), and (ii) Substitute Mortgage Loans (which, by definition as set forth herein and referred to in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, are required to conform to, among other representations and warranties, the representation and warranty of the Seller that no Substitute Mortgage Loan is a “high cost” or “predatory” loan under any state or local law or regulation applicable to the originator). It is agreed and understood by the parties hereto that it is not intended that any mortgage loan be included in the Trust that is a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003, a “High Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act effective January 1, 2004, a “High Cost Home Loan” as defined in the Kentucky high-cost loan statute effective June 24, 2003 (Ky. Rev. Stat. Section 360.100), or a “High Cost Home Loan” as defined in the Indiana Home Loan Practices Act effective January 1, 2005 (Ind. Code Xxx. §§ 24-9-1 through 24-9-9) or a “High Cost Mortgage Loan” as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act effective November 7, 2004 (Mass. Gen. Laws Ch. 183C. §§1 et seq.).

The Depositor shall file such financing statements, and the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee acting on behalf of the Trust at the direction of the Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such other actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were found to create a security interest in the Mortgage Pool Assets, such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. In connection herewith, the Trust shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as in force in the relevant jurisdiction.

Section 2.02 Acceptance of REMIC 1 by the Trustee.

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to any exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph below, the Trustee or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, as applicable, acknowledges receipt of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and all other assets included in the definition of “REMIC 1” under clauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (vi) (to the extent of amounts deposited into the Distribution Account) and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage File, and all such assets and such other assets included in the definition of “REMIC 1” in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Interest.

The Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, agrees, for the benefit of the holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Interest, to review each Mortgage File on or before the Closing Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan and to certify to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and the Servicer in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F‑1 that, as to each Closing Date Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents constituting part of such Mortgage File (other than such documents described in Section 2.01(e)) required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by the Trustee, the Custodian or the Washington Mutual Custodian, as applicable and are not mutilated, torn or defaced unless initialed by the related borrower and relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on the Trustee’s examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (i), (ii), (ix), (xii), (xiv) (to the extent of the Gross Margin, Maximum Mortgage Rate and the Minimum Mortgage Rate) and (xvi) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, neither the Trustee nor any Custodian is under any duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether they are genuine, complete, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose (including with respect to Section 2.01(f), whether such title insurance policy (a) contains all necessary endorsements, (b) insures the priority of the Mortgage as a first or second lien or (c) whether the interest vested in the Mortgagor is a fee interest) or whether they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine whether any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in clause (e) of Section 2.01; and the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, shall be entitled to assume that all signatures and endorsements appearing on any such document are genuine and duly authorized.

Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement, the Trustee shall deliver (or, with respect to the Mortgage Loans held by another Custodian, such Custodian shall deliver) to the Depositor, the Servicer and the NIMS Insurer a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F‑2 evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.

If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the Trustee holding such Mortgage Files or any Custodian holding such Mortgage Files finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective in any material respect, at the conclusion of its review the Trustee shall so notify or such other Custodian shall notify the Depositor, the Seller, the NIMS Insurer and the Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially and adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.

Section 2.03 Cure, Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Seller; Remedies for Breaches by Depositor or Servicer; Remedies for Breaches Relating to Prepayment Charges.

(a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, the Mortgage File or of the breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially and adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders (it being understood that (i) in the case of any such representation or warranty made to the knowledge or the best of knowledge of the Seller, as to which the Seller has no knowledge, without regard to the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty being inaccurate at the time it was made or (ii) with respect to the representation and warranty set forth in the last sentence of Section 6(xxxix), Section 6(xlvi), the first sentence of Section 6(xlvii), Section 6(lxi) and Section 6(lxiv) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, a breach of any such representation or warranty shall in and of itself be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan), the Trustee or the Custodian (pursuant to the Custodial Agreement) shall promptly notify the Trustee (in the case of the Custodian), the Depositor, the Seller, the NIMS Insurer and the Servicer of such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Seller deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from the date the Seller was notified of such missing document, defect or breach (except as described in Section 2.03(e)), and if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Servicer (or, in accordance with Section 3.02(b), the Trustee) shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC 1 at the Purchase Price within 90 days after the date on which the Seller was notified (subject to Section 2.03(e)) of such missing document, defect or breach, if and to the extent that the Seller is obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee or a Custodian, as applicable, upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Seller or the Depositor, as applicable, the related Mortgage File, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller or the Depositor, as applicable, shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller or the Depositor, as applicable, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. In furtherance of the foregoing, if the Seller or the Depositor, as applicable, is not a member of MERS and repurchases a Mortgage Loan which is registered on the MERS® System, the Servicer, in its capacity as Seller or the Depositor, as applicable, at its own expense and without any right of reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller or the Depositor, as applicable, and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and regulations. Neither the Trustee nor any Custodian shall have any further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller or the Depositor, as applicable, may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC 1 (in which case it shall become a Reacquired Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Certificateholders, the Trust, the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Delaware Trustee and the NIMS Insurer.

(b) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Depositor or receipt of notice by the Depositor of the breach of any representation or warranty of the Depositor set forth in Section 2.05 (other than subsection (ii) thereof) with respect to any Mortgage Loan, which materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Depositor shall cure such breach in all material respects. Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Depositor or receipt of notice by the Depositor of the breach the representation made by the Depositor set forth in Section 2.05(ii), the Depositor shall repurchase, or cause the repurchase at the Purchase Price set forth in Section 2.03(a) above or substitute, or cause the substitution of such Mortgage Loan with a Substitute Mortgage Loan in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d), unless it has cured such breach in all material respects. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Depositor to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Certificateholders, the Trust, the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Delaware Trustee and the NIMS Insurer.

(c) As promptly as practicable (and no later than 90 days) after the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt of notice by the Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Servicer set forth in Section 2.04 which materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.

Promptly upon the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt of notice by the Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Servicer set forth in Section 2.04(a)(vii) or (viii) which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the Class P Certificates to any Prepayment Charge, the Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects. If the representation made by the Servicer in its capacity as Seller in Section 2.04(a)(vii) is breached, the Servicer in its capacity as Seller shall pay into the Collection Account the amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge, less any amount previously collected and deposited by, or paid by, the Servicer into the Collection Account; and if the covenant made by the Servicer in Section 2.04(a)(viii) is breached, the Servicer shall pay into the Collection Account the amount of the waived Prepayment Charge. Payments by the Servicer into the Collection Account pursuant to this paragraph shall be made on the later of (i) the Servicer Remittance Date next following the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt of notice by the Servicer of the breach of the related representation, warranty or covenant of the Servicer set forth in Section 2.04(a)(vii) or (viii) which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the Class P Certificates to any Prepayment Charge and (ii) the Servicer Remittance Date next following the Prepayment Period in which such breach occurred.

(d) Any substitution of Substitute Mortgage Loans for Reacquired Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) or Section 2.03(b) shall be effected prior to the date which is two years after the Startup Date for REMIC 1.

As to any Reacquired Mortgage Loan for which the Seller or the Depositor substitutes a Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Seller or the Depositor, as applicable, by delivering to the Trustee (or, with respect to the Mortgage Loans held by another Custodian, to such Custodian) on behalf of the Trustee, for such Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01, together with an Officer’s Certificate providing that each such Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Price (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The Trustee shall acknowledge or with respect to the Mortgage Loans held by another Custodian such other Custodian shall acknowledge receipt for such Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter, review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver to the Depositor, the Servicer and the NIMS Insurer, with respect to such Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F‑1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the Trustee shall deliver or with respect to the Mortgage Loans held by another Custodian, such other Custodian shall deliver to the Depositor, the Seller, the NIMS Insurer and the Servicer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit F‑2 hereto with respect to such Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of REMIC 1 and will be retained by the substituting party. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Reacquired Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the month of substitution, and the substituting party shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Reacquired Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall give or cause to be given written notice to the NIMS Insurer and the Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place, and the Servicer shall amend or cause to be amended the Mortgage Loan Schedule and, if applicable, the Prepayment Charge Schedule to reflect the removal of such Reacquired Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule and, if applicable, the Prepayment Charge Schedule to the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee. Upon such substitution, such Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including all applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement as of the date of substitution.

For any month in which the Seller or the Depositor substitutes one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Reacquired Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (the “Substitution Price”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Reacquired Mortgage Loans in Loan Group I or Loan Group II, respectively, exceeds the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balance of the Substitute Mortgage Loans that will become part of Loan Group I or Loan Group II, respectively, as of the date of substitution, together with one month’s interest on such Stated Principal Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate, plus all outstanding Advances and Servicing Advances with respect to such Reacquired Mortgage Loan. On the date of such substitution, the Seller or the Depositor, as applicable, will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Substitution Price, if any (which for federal income tax purposes will be treated as payment for the repurchase of that portion of the Reacquired Mortgage Loans), and the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans (or acknowledgement of such receipt by another Custodian) and certification by the Servicer of such deposit, shall release or, if such Mortgage File is held by another Custodian, such Custodian shall release to the Seller or the Depositor, as applicable, the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute and deliver or, if such Mortgage File is held by another Custodian, such Custodian shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, as the Seller or the Depositor shall deliver to it or such Custodian, as applicable, and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Reacquired Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

In addition, the Servicer in its capacity as Seller or the Depositor, as applicable, shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on REMIC 1, created hereunder, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on contributions after the startup day under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

(e) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer 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 within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Servicer in its capacity as Seller shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d), substitute one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a) and Section 2.03(d). 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.

Section 2.04 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Servicer.

(a) The Servicer hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, and to the Depositor, that as of the Closing Date or as of such date specifically provided herein:

(ii) The Servicer has the full power and authority to service each Mortgage Loan, to execute, deliver and perform, and to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Servicer the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement; and this Agreement, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Depositor and the Trustee, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer, enforceable against the Servicer in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that (a) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and (b) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to the equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

(iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Servicer, the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Servicer hereunder, the consummation by the Servicer of any other of the transactions herein contemplated, and the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms hereof are in the ordinary course of business of the Servicer and will not (A) result in a breach of any term or provision of the charter or by‑laws of the Servicer or (B) conflict with, result in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a default under, the terms of any other material agreement or instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which it may be bound, or any statute, order or regulation applicable to the Servicer of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Servicer; and the Servicer is not a party to, bound by, or in breach or violation of any indenture or other agreement or instrument, or subject to or in violation of any statute, order or regulation of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it, which materially and adversely affects or, to the Servicer’s knowledge, would in the future materially and adversely affect, (x) the ability of the Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement or (y) the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Servicer taken as a whole;

(iv) The Servicer is an approved seller/servicer for Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac in good standing and is a HUD approved mortgagee pursuant to Section 203 and Section 211 of the National Housing Act;

(vii) The information set forth in the Prepayment Charge Schedule is complete, true and correct in all material respects at the date or dates respecting which such information is furnished and each Prepayment Charge is permissible and enforceable in accordance with its terms under applicable law upon the Mortgagor’s voluntary principal prepayment (except to the extent that: (1) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally; or (2) the collectability thereof may be limited due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary prepayment); provided that the representation, warranty and covenant contained in this clause (vii) is made by the Servicer only in its capacity as Seller;

(viii) The Servicer will not waive any Prepayment Charge or part of a Prepayment Charge unless such waiver is related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and related Mortgage Loan and doing so is standard and customary in servicing mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans (including any waiver of a Prepayment Charge in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default).

(b) It is understood and agreed that the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee or a Custodian, as the case may be, and shall inure to the benefit of the Trust, the Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificateholders. Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations, warranties and covenants which materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan, Prepayment Charge or the interests therein of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice (but in no event later than two Business Days following such discovery) to the other of such parties. The obligation of the Servicer set forth in Section 2.03(c) to cure breaches (or, in the case of (a)(vii) or (a)(viii) above, to pay a Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount) shall constitute the sole remedy against the Servicer available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Trust, the Delaware Trustee or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders respecting a breach of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Section 2.04. The preceding sentence shall not, however, limit any remedies available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Trust, the Delaware Trustee or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, (i) pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement signed by the Servicer in its capacity as Seller, respecting a breach of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Servicer in its capacity as Seller contained in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or (ii) pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 3.01 Servicer to Act as Servicer.

The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trust and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner in which it services and administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans in the local areas where the related Mortgaged Property is located but without regard to:

(i) any relationship that the Servicer, any Sub‑Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer or any Sub‑Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor;

(ii) the ownership or non‑ownership of any Certificate by the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer;

(iii) the Servicer’s obligation to make Advances or Servicing Advances; or

(iv) the Servicer’s or any Sub‑Servicer’s right to receive compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction.

To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer shall seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes. Subject only to the above‑described servicing standards and the terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through Sub‑Servicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration in accordance with policies and procedures generally accepted in the mortgage banking industry. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Sub‑Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trust when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in accordance with the servicing standards set forth above, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Trust and the Trustee, and upon notice to the Trustee, 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 the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed‑in‑lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf of the Trust and the Certificateholders. The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby. The Servicer shall also comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any standard hazard insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.17, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute, at the written direction of the Servicer, and furnish to the Servicer and any Sub‑Servicer such documents as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer or any Sub‑Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee on behalf of the Trust hereby grants to the Servicer and each Sub-Servicer a power of attorney to carry out such duties including a power of attorney to take title to Mortgaged Properties after foreclosure on behalf of the Trust and the Certificateholders. The Trustee on behalf of the Trust, at the direction of the Servicer, shall execute a separate power of attorney in favor of (and furnish such power of attorney to) the Servicer and/or each Sub-Servicer for the purposes described herein to the extent necessary or desirable to enable the Servicer to perform its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Servicer or any Sub‑Servicers under such powers of attorney.

The Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, in its own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer, when the Servicer believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trust, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trust and its successors and assigns. Any reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence or as a result of MERS discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in connection with the MERS® System, shall be reimbursable to the Servicer by withdrawal from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11.

Subject to Section 3.09 hereof, in accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing Advances reimbursable in the first instance from collections on the related Mortgage Loans from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the Servicer or by Sub‑Servicers in effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as provided in Section 4.04) and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan (unless, as provided in Section 3.07, the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or (ii) permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or contributions after the startup day under the REMIC Provisions.

The Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such delegation shall release the Servicer from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will furnish, or cause to be furnished, information regarding the borrower credit file related to such Mortgage Loan to credit reporting agencies in compliance with the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the applicable implementing regulations.

Section 3.02 Sub-Servicing Agreements Between the Servicer and Sub-Servicers.

(a) The Servicer may enter into Sub‑Servicing Agreements provided (i) that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the ratings on any Class of Certificates, any of the Other NIM Notes or any of the Insured NIM Notes (without giving effect to any insurance policy issued by the NIMS Insurer), as evidenced by a letter to that effect delivered by each Rating Agency to the Depositor and the NIMS Insurer and (ii) that, except in the case of any Sub‑Servicing Agreements the Servicer may enter into with Washington Mutual, Inc. or any Affiliate thereof, the NIMS Insurer shall have consented to such Sub‑Servicing Agreements (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) with Sub‑Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee on behalf of the Trust is hereby authorized to acknowledge, at the request of the Servicer, any Sub‑Servicing Agreement that meets the requirements applicable to Sub‑Servicing Agreements set forth in this Agreement and that is otherwise permitted under this Agreement.

Each Sub‑Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable such Sub‑Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the related Sub‑Servicing Agreement, (ii) an institution approved as a mortgagee by the Department of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Section 203 of the National Housing Act of 1934, as amended, or an institution the deposit accounts in which are insured by the FDIC and (iii) a Xxxxxx Xxx approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub‑Servicing Agreement must impose on the related Sub‑Servicer requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08. The Servicer will examine each Sub‑Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any Sub‑Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer and the Sub‑Servicers may enter into and make amendments to the Sub‑Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Sub‑Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 relating to credits and charges to the Sub‑Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the Sub‑Servicers to the Servicer are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Servicer shall deliver to the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee copies of all Sub‑Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Servicer’s execution and delivery of such instruments.

(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer (except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), for the benefit of the Trust and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub‑Servicer under the related Sub‑Servicing Agreement and, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub‑Servicing Agreement, or to purchase or otherwise remedy as contemplated herein a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective documentation or on account of a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, as described in Section 2.03(a). Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub‑Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed. Enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement against the Seller shall be effected by the Servicer to the extent it is not the Seller, and otherwise by the Trustee, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph.

Section 3.03 Successor Sub-Servicers.

The Servicer, with the written consent of the NIMS Insurer, shall be entitled to terminate any Sub‑Servicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub‑Servicer pursuant to any Sub‑Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub‑Servicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub‑Servicer, all servicing obligations of such Sub‑Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Sub‑Servicer or the Servicer, and the Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Sub‑Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub‑Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02.

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated by the Trustee without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Trustee shall so terminate such Sub‑Servicing Agreement at the direction of the NIMS Insurer in the event that the Servicer (or the Trustee, if then acting as Servicer) shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer (including termination due to a Servicer Event of Default).

Section 3.04 Liability of the Servicer.

Notwithstanding any Sub‑Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Sub‑Servicer or reference to actions taken through a Sub‑Servicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trust and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub‑Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from a Sub‑Servicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub‑Servicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Sub‑Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification and no such indemnification shall be an expense of the Trust.

Section 3.05 No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee or Certificateholders.

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub‑Servicer in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the related Sub‑Servicer and the Servicer alone, and the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to such Sub‑Servicer except as set forth in Section 3.06. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any Sub‑Servicer, irrespective of whether the Servicer’s compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees and such fees shall not be an expense of the Trust.

Section 3.06 Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by Trustee.

In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under each Sub‑Servicing Agreement that the Servicer may have entered into, unless the Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 7.02, elects to terminate any Sub‑Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 3.03. Upon such assumption, the Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the Servicer as a party to each Sub‑Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Sub‑Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any Sub‑Servicing Agreement that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer and (ii) none of the Trustee, its designee or any successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer.

The Servicer at its own expense and without reimbursement shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub‑Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub‑Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.

Section 3.07 Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any applicable insurance policies, follow such collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the due dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180 days; provided that any extension pursuant to this clause (ii) shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Servicer shall make timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.04 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements, subject to Section 4.04(d) pursuant to which the Servicer shall not be required to make any such advances that are Nonrecoverable Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan, accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan (such payment, a “Short Pay‑off”) or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor; provided, that in the judgment of the Servicer, any such modification, waiver or amendment could reasonably be expected to result in collections and other recoveries in respect of such Mortgage Loans in excess of Net Liquidation Proceeds that would be recovered upon the foreclosure of, or other realization upon, such Mortgage Loan and provided further, that the NIMS Insurer’s prior written consent shall be required for any modification, waiver or amendment if the aggregate number of outstanding Mortgage Loans which have been modified, waived or amended exceeds 5% of the number of Closing Date Mortgage Loans as of the Cut‑off Date.

Section 3.08 Sub-Servicing Accounts.

In those cases where a Sub‑Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Sub‑Servicing Agreement, such Sub‑Servicer shall be required to establish and maintain one or more segregated accounts (collectively, the “Sub‑Servicing Account”). The Sub‑Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall be entitled “Citibank, N.A., as Trustee, in trust for registered Holders of WaMu Asset-Backed Certificates WaMu Series 2007-HE3 Trust. Such Sub‑Servicer shall be required to deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after such Sub‑Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by such Sub‑Servicer less its servicing compensation to the extent permitted by the related Sub‑Servicing Agreement, and shall thereafter deposit such amounts in the Sub‑Servicing Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account. Such Sub‑Servicer shall thereafter be required to deposit all such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than the Determination Date following the deposit of such amounts in the Sub‑Servicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the Mortgage Loans when such Sub‑Servicer receives such payments.

Section 3.09 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts.

The Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more segregated accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”). Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from Sub‑Servicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors (“Escrow Payments”) collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and shall thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the Servicing Accounts, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds in the clearing account, for the purpose of effecting the payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Servicer (or a Sub‑Servicer to the extent provided in the related Sub‑Servicing Agreement) out of related collections for any advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 (with respect to hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account; (v) clear and terminate the Servicing Account upon the termination of the Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with Article IX or (vi) recover amounts deposited in error. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer or Sub‑Servicers shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure of a tax lien. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the payment of all such bills within such time and shall effect payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments; provided, however, that such advances shall constitute Servicing Advances.

Section 3.10 Collection Account and Distribution Account.

(a) On behalf of the Trust, the Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more segregated accounts (such account or accounts, the “Collection Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trust and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut‑off Date (other than in respect of principal or interest on the related Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut‑off Date or payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut‑off Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto):

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

(ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the related Servicing Fee and the related Prepayment Interest Excess) on each Mortgage Loan;

(iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (other than proceeds collected in respect of any particular REO Property and amounts paid by the Servicer in connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01) and all Gross Subsequent Recoveries;

(iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12 in connection with any losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection Account;

(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any blanket policy deductibles;

(vi) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in accordance with Section 2.03, Section 3.16(c) or Section 9.01 and all Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 2.03;

(vii) all amounts representing the Substitution Price;

(viii) without duplication, all payments of claims received by the Servicer under the PMI Policy, if any; and

(ix) all Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer.

For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Cut‑off Date with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be the date of substitution.

The aggregate amount deposited in the Collection Account on any date pursuant to this Section 3.10(a) may be net of any amounts permitted to be withdrawn by the Servicer from the Collection Account on such date pursuant to Section 3.11(a).

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Accounts shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Prepayment Interest Excess and payments in the nature of late payment charges, NSF fees, reconveyance fees, prepayment charges paid by Mortgagors upon voluntary partial prepayment of certain mortgage loans, assumption fees and other similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account and shall, upon collection, belong to the Servicer as additional compensation for its servicing activities. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

(b) On behalf of the Trust, the Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more segregated accounts (such account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trust and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee in immediately available funds for deposit on the same day in the Distribution Account on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time (i) on the Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available Funds (calculated without regard to the references in the definition thereof to amounts that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection Account, the amount of all Prepayment Charges on the Prepayment Charge Schedule collected by the Servicer in connection with any of the Mortgage Loans and any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account and the amount of any funds reimbursable to an Advancing Person pursuant to Section 3.27 and (ii) on each Business Day as of the commencement of which the balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds $75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to the next succeeding sentence, the amount of such excess, but only if the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of “Eligible Account.” If the balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day and the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of “Eligible Account,” the Servicer shall, on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day, withdraw from the Collection Account any and all amounts payable or reimbursable to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Seller or any Sub‑Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 and shall pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto. In order to comply with its duties under the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee shall obtain and verify certain information and documentation from the parties hereto, including, but not limited to, each party’s name, address, and other identifying information.

(c) Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and the Rating Agencies of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to the Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and the Rating Agencies of the location of the Distribution Account when established and prior to any change thereof.

(d) Funds held in the Collection Account at any time may be delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee for deposit in an account (which may be the Distribution Account and must satisfy the standards for the Distribution Account as set forth in the definition thereof) and for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part of the Collection Account; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant to this subsection (d). In the event the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time request that the Trustee withdraw, and the Trustee shall withdraw, such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to the Servicer any such amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee from time to time for deposit, and the Trustee shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account:

(i) any Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.04, unless delivered directly to the Trustee by an Advancing Person;

(ii) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.23(d) or (f) in connection with any REO Property;

(iii) any amounts to be paid by the Servicer in connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01;

(iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.24 in connection with any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls; and

(v) any Stayed Funds, as soon as permitted by the federal bankruptcy court having jurisdiction in such matters.

(e) Promptly upon receipt of any Stayed Funds, whether from the Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy, federal bankruptcy court or other source, the Trustee shall deposit such funds in the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal thereof pursuant to Section 7.02(b) or as otherwise permitted hereunder.

Section 3.11 Withdrawals from the Collection Account and Distribution Account.

(a) The Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account, for any of the following purposes or as described in Section 4.04, without priority:

(i) to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account the amounts required to be so remitted pursuant to Section 3.10(b) or permitted to be so remitted pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.10(d);

(ii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Servicer for Advances, but only to the extent of amounts received which represent Late Collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of Monthly Payments on the related Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04;

(iii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Servicer or any Sub‑Servicer (a) any unpaid Servicing Fees or (b) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent of any Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Gross Subsequent Recoveries or other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from a Mortgagor, or otherwise received with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(iv) to pay to the Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee) on the Servicer Remittance Date any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Collection Account;

(v) to pay to the Servicer, the Depositor, or the Seller, as the case may be, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 3.16(c) all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase or substitution, as the case may be;

(vi) to reimburse the Servicer for any Advance or Servicing Advance previously made which the Servicer has determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04;

(vii) to reimburse the Servicer or the Depositor for expenses incurred by or reimbursable to the Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 6.03;

(viii) to reimburse the NIMS Insurer, the Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, for enforcement expenses reasonably incurred in respect of the breach or defect giving rise to the purchase obligation under Section 2.03 of this Agreement that were included in the Purchase Price of the Mortgage Loan, including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the purchase obligation; provided, however, that the reimbursement to the NIMS Insurer pursuant to this clause shall be limited to an annual amount of $25,000;

(ix) to pay, or to reimburse the Servicer for advances in respect of, expenses incurred in connection with any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(b);

(x) to pay the PMI Insurer the PMI Insurer Fee; and

(xi) to clear and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Section 9.01.

The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on an individual Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant to subclauses (ii), (iii), (v), (vi), (viii) and (ix) above. The Servicer shall provide written notification to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, on or prior to the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to subclause (vii) above.

(b) The Trustee shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Distribution Account, for any of the following purposes, without required priority:

(i) to make distributions to Certificateholders and for deposit into the Reserve Fund, the Supplemental Interest Trust and the Final Maturity Reserve Trust in accordance with Section 4.01;

(ii) to pay to itself amounts to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 8.05 or to pay any other Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses;

(iii) to pay to itself any interest income earned on funds deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.12(c);

(iv) to reimburse itself pursuant to Section 7.02 or pursuant to Section 7.01 to the extent such amounts in Section 7.01 were not reimbursed by the Servicer;

Section 3.12 Investment of Funds in the Interest Coverage Account, the Collection Account and the Distribution Account.

(a) The Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account and any REO Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, an “Investment Account”), and the Trustee, in its individual capacity, may direct any depository institution maintaining the Distribution Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, the Distribution Account is also an “Investment Account”), to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Trustee is the obligor thereon and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee is the obligor thereon. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such), or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to sole possession (except with respect to investment direction of funds held in the Interest Coverage Account, the Collection Account and any REO Account and any income and gain realized thereon) over each such investment, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee or its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in a Distribution Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trustee shall:

(x) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and

(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon actual notice by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.

(b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Interest Coverage Account, the Collection Account and any REO Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer shall be for the benefit of the Servicer in its individual capacity and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.11 or Section 3.23, as applicable. The Servicer shall deposit in the Interest Coverage Account, the Collection Account or any REO Account, as applicable, from its own funds, the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon realization of such loss.

(c) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Distribution Account held by or on behalf of the Trustee shall be for the benefit of the Trustee and shall be subject to its withdrawal at any time. The Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution Account, from its own funds, the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such account immediately upon realization of such loss.

(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trustee may, and subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(a)(iii), upon the request of the Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.

Section 3.13 Reserved.

Section 3.14 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.

(a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in an amount which is at least equal to the least of (i) the then current principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such Mortgaged Property, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The Servicer shall also cause to be maintained fire insurance with extended coverage on each REO Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property, plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Rate and related Servicing Advances. The Servicer will comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor 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 or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood insurance has been made available, the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program).

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of A:X or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to such rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of this Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Trust, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

(b) The Servicer shall obtain (to the extent commercially available) and maintain fidelity bond and errors and omissions coverage acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac with respect to its obligations under this Agreement, unless the Servicer or any of its Affiliates has obtained a waiver of such Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac requirements from either Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer (upon such party’s reasonable request) with copies of any such insurance policies and fidelity bond. The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if an Affiliate of the Servicer has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer.

Section 3.15 Enforcement of Due‑On‑Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

The Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due‑on‑sale” clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to take such action if in its sole business judgment the Servicer believes that the collections and other recoveries in respect of such Mortgage Loans could reasonably be expected to be maximized if the Mortgage Loan were not accelerated, and the Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due‑on‑sale” clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer may also 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 the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note, provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Servicer and has a credit risk rating at least equal to that of the original Mortgagor. In connection with any assumption, modification or substitution, the Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned solely by it. The Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable under the circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy, or a new policy meeting the requirements of this Section is obtained. Any fee collected by the Servicer in respect of any assumption, modification or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer that any such substitution, modification or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee (with a copy to the NIMS Insurer) the executed original of such substitution, modification or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

Section 3.16 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

(a) The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01 to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07. The Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that such costs and expenses will constitute and be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.11 and Section 3.23. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.16 or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust, either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, the Trust, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee‑in‑possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared by an Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards, that:

(1) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and

(2) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum‑based materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean‑up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, if such environmental audit reveals, or if the Servicer has knowledge or notice, that the Mortgaged Property securing the Mortgage Loan contains such wastes or substances or is within one mile of the site of such wastes or substances, the Servicer shall not foreclose or accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure without the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer.

The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.16 shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans. It is understood by the parties hereto that any such advance will constitute a Servicing Advance.

If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean‑up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum‑based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund. The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans. It is understood by the parties hereto that any such advance will constitute a Servicing Advance.

(c) The majority Holder of the Class C Certificates (except if such Holder is the Seller or any of its Affiliates) may at its option purchase from REMIC 1 any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property that is 90 days or more delinquent or that has been otherwise in default for 90 days or more, which such Holder determines in good faith will otherwise become subject to foreclosure proceedings (evidence of such determination to be delivered in writing to the Trustee prior to purchase), at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided, however, that the Holder of the Class C Certificates shall purchase any such Mortgage Loans or related REO Properties on the basis of delinquency or default, purchasing first the Mortgage Loans or related REO Properties that became delinquent or otherwise in default on an earlier date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder of the Class C Certificates in exercising its right to purchase Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section 3.16(c) shall not be subject to any requirement of this Article III (other than the requirements of this Section 3.16(c)). In the event the Holder of the Class C Certificates does not exercise its option to purchase from REMIC 1 any such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, the NIMS Insurer shall be entitled to purchase such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property; provided, however, that the NIM Insurer shall purchase any such Mortgage Loans or related REO Properties on the basis of delinquency or default, purchasing first the Mortgage Loans or related REO Properties that became delinquent or otherwise in default on an earlier date. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall release or cause to be released to the Holder of the Class C Certificates or the NIMS Insurer, as applicable, the related Mortgage File and the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Holder of the Class C Certificates or the NIMS Insurer, as applicable, shall furnish and as shall be necessary to vest in the Holder of the Class C Certificates or the NIMS Insurer, as applicable, title to any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property released pursuant hereto. For so long as the indenture trustee under the Indenture is the Holder of the Class C Certificate, the holder (the “Residual NIM Holder”) of the subordinate note, the owner trust certificate or another instrument representing the right to receive the proceeds of the trust estate securing payments on the NIM Notes after all of the NIM Notes have been paid off shall be deemed to be the “Holder of the Class C Certificates” for purposes of this Section 3.16(c). The Trustee shall request from the majority Residual NIM Holder a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto. The Trustee may conclusively rely upon and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting based on such certificate.

(d) Proceeds received (other than any prepayment charges or premiums received) in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or Gross Subsequent Recoveries, in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer or any Sub‑Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii) or (a)(iii); second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be allocated by the Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing. The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Servicer or any Sub‑Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii).

(e) The Servicer may (but is not obligated to) enter into a special servicing agreement with an unaffiliated holder of a 100% Percentage Interest of the most junior Class of the Mezzanine Certificates, subject to each Rating Agency’s acknowledgment that the ratings of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Other NIM Notes and the initial shadow rating to the Insured NIM Notes, without giving effect to any insurance policy issued by the NIMS Insurer, in each case, in effect immediately prior to the entering into such agreement would not be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn and none of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates or the NIM Notes would be placed on credit review status (except for possible upgrading) as a result of such agreement. Any such agreement may contain provisions whereby such Holder may (i) instruct the Servicer to commence or delay foreclosure proceedings with respect to delinquent Mortgage Loans and will contain provisions for the deposit of cash with the Servicer by the Holder that would be available for distribution to Certificateholders if Liquidation Proceeds are less than they otherwise may have been had the Servicer acted in accordance with its normal procedures, (ii) purchase delinquent Mortgage Loans from the Trust immediately prior to the commencement of foreclosure proceedings at a price equal to the Purchase Price, and/or (iii) assume all of the servicing rights and obligations with respect to delinquent Mortgage Loans so long as such Holder (A) meets the requirements for a Sub-Servicer set forth in Section 3.02(a), (B) will service such Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and (C) the Servicer has the right to transfer such servicing rights without the payment of any compensation to a Sub-Servicer.

Section 3.17 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.

(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will promptly notify the Trustee and the applicable Custodian holding the related Mortgage File by a certification in the form of Exhibit E‑2 (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Representative and shall request delivery to it of the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee or such Custodian, as applicable, shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer and the Servicer is authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the MERS® System of any such Mortgage Loan, if applicable. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account or the Distribution Account.

(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee or the applicable Custodian shall, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E‑l, release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and the Trustee or the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, at the direction of the Servicer, execute such documents (each as prepared and provided to the Trustee by the Servicer) as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings and the Servicer shall retain such Mortgage File in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Servicer to return each and every document previously requested from the Mortgage File to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non‑judicially, and the Servicer has delivered to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Representative certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Representative stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the Trustee or the applicable Custodian to the Servicer or its designee.

(c) At the direction of the Servicer and upon written certification of a Servicing Representative, each of the Trustee or the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trust, shall execute and deliver to the Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents (each as prepared and provided to the Trustee by the Servicer) reasonably necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity, or shall execute and deliver to the Servicer a power of attorney sufficient to authorize the Servicer or a Sub-Servicer to execute such documents on its behalf, provided that each of the Trustee or the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trust, shall be obligated to execute the documents identified above if necessary to enable the Servicer or a Sub-Servicer to perform their respective duties hereunder or under the Sub-Servicing Agreement. The Trustee shall have no liability for the Servicer’s use or misuse of any such power of attorney. Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee or the applicable Custodian and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required.

(d) If any Mortgage Loan is repurchased, substituted or purchased in accordance with Section 2.03, Section 3.16(c) or Section 9.01, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall execute and deliver the Mortgage Loan Assignment Agreement in the form of Exhibit E-3 with respect to such Mortgage Loan, transferring such Mortgage Loan to the Person entitled thereto pursuant to such Section 2.03, Section 3.16(c) or Section 9.01, as applicable.

Section 3.18 Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for the activities of the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments of interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.24. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Late Collections, Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or Gross Subsequent Recoveries to the extent permitted by Section 3.11(a)(iii) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23. The right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Servicer may pay from the Servicing Fee any amounts due to a Sub‑Servicer pursuant to a Sub‑Servicing Agreement entered into under Section 3.02.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of Prepayment Interest Excess, prepayment premiums or charges in connection with voluntary Principal Prepayments in part, assumption or modification fees, late payment charges, NSF fees, reconveyance fees and other similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by the Servicer only to the extent such fees or charges are received by the Servicer. The Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account, and pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.12. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including premiums for the insurance required by Section 3.14, to the extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a Sub‑Servicer, it being understood however, that payment of such premiums by the Servicer shall constitute Servicing Advances and servicing compensation of each Sub‑Servicer, and to the extent provided herein and in Section 8.05, the fees, expenses and indemnities of the Trustee) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.

Section 3.19 Reports to the Trustee; Collection Account Statements.

Not later than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall forward to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor a statement prepared by the Servicer setting forth the status of the Collection Account as of the close of business on such Distribution Date and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of deposits into and withdrawals from the Collection Account of each category of deposit specified in Section 3.10(a) and each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.11. Such statement may be in the form of the then current Xxxxxx Xxx Monthly Accounting Report for its Guaranteed Mortgage Pass‑Through Program with appropriate additions and changes, and shall also include information as to the aggregate of the outstanding principal balances of all of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding such Distribution Date. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.

Section 3.20 Annual Statement as to Compliance.

The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency, not later than March 15 of each calendar year beginning in the year following the year of execution of this Agreement through and including the calendar year in which a Form 15 Suspension Notice is filed with respect to the Trust and April 30 of each calendar year thereafter, an Officer’s Certificate (an “Annual Statement of Compliance”) stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement or other applicable servicing agreement, if any, has been made under such officers’ supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement or other applicable servicing agreement, if any, in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. The Servicer shall deliver a similar Annual Statement of Compliance by any Sub-Servicer to which the Servicer has delegated any servicing responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to the Trustee and the Depositor as described above as and when required with respect to the Servicer. Copies of any such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon the request and at the expense of the requesting party, provided that such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.

Section 3.21 Assessments of Compliance and Attestation Reports.

(a) Pursuant to Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor on or before March 15 of each calendar year beginning in the year following the year of execution of this Agreement prior to and including the calendar year in which Form 15 Suspension Notice is filed with respect to the Trust and April 30 of each calendar year thereafter, a report regarding the Servicer’s assessment of compliance (an “Assessment of Compliance”) with the servicing criteria during the preceding calendar year. The Assessment of Compliance must be reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, and as set forth in Regulation AB, the Assessment of Compliance must contain the following:

(i) A statement by the Servicer of its responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to the Servicer;

(ii) A statement by the Servicer that it used the servicing criteria applicable to it, including at the minimum those that are specified on Exhibit N hereto, and which will also be attached to the Assessment of Compliance, to assess compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to the Servicer;

(iii) An assessment by the Servicer of the Servicer’s compliance with the applicable servicing criteria for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year, including disclosure of any material instance of noncompliance with respect thereto during such period, which assessment shall be based on the activities it performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans;

(iv) A statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the Servicer’s Assessment of Compliance for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year; and

(v) A statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable to the Servicer, which statement shall be based on the activities it performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans.

(b) On or before March 15 of each calendar year beginning in the year following the year of execution of this Agreement prior to and including the calendar year in which Form 15 Suspension Notice is filed with respect to the Trust and April 30 of each calendar year thereafter, the Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor a report (an “Attestation Report”) by a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the Assessment of Compliance made by the Servicer, as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB, which Attestation Report must be made in accordance with standards for attestation reports issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

(c) The Servicer shall cause any Sub-Servicer to which the Servicer delegated any of its responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and each subcontractor determined by the Servicer to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB to which the Servicer delegated any of its responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report as and when provided above.

(d) Such Assessment of Compliance, as to any Sub-Servicer, shall at a minimum address each of the servicing criteria applicable to it, including at the minimum those that are specified on Exhibit N hereto which are indicated as applicable to any “primary servicer.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to any subcontractor, an Assessment of Compliance is not required to be delivered unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust.

(e) The Trustee and the Custodian shall also provide to the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum address each of the servicing criteria applicable to it, including at the minimum (i) in the case of the Trustee those that are specified on Exhibit N hereto which are indicated as applicable to the “trustee” or (ii) in the case of the Custodian, as provided in the Custodial Agreement.

Section 3.22 Access to Certain Documentation.

The Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans serviced by the Servicer under this Agreement, as may be required by applicable laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it. In addition, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans serviced by the Servicer under this Agreement sufficient to permit the Certificateholder to comply with applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC or any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority with respect to investment in the Certificates will be provided to any Certificateholder that is a savings and loan association, bank or insurance company, upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it at the expense of the Person requesting such access.

Section 3.23 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

(a) The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, on behalf of the Trust. The Servicer, on behalf of REMIC 1 (and on behalf of the Trust), shall sell any REO Property as soon as practicable and, in any event, shall either sell any REO Property before the close of the third taxable year after the year REMIC 1 acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the day on which the three‑year grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of the three‑year grace period, unless the Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by REMIC 1 of such REO Property subsequent to three years after its acquisition will not result in the imposition on any Trust REMIC of taxes on “prohibited transactions” thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. If an extension of the three‑year period is granted, the Servicer shall sell the related REO Property no later than 60 days prior to the expiration of such extension period. The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any Trust REMIC of any “income from non‑permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions.

(b) The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, with respect to REO Properties an account held in trust for the Trust (the “REO Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account. The Servicer may allow the Collection Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO Property. The Servicer may retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited in the REO Account.

(c) The Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which the Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders. In connection therewith,the Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer’s receipt thereof and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, all revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property including, without limitation:

(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;

(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon; and

(iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such REO Property.

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to an REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer shall advance from its own funds as Servicing Advances such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only if, the Servicer would make such advances if the Servicer owned the REO Property and if such Servicing Advance would not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall:

(i) authorize the Trust to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;

(ii) authorize any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;

(iii) authorize any construction on any REO Property, other than construction permitted under Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

(iv) authorize any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90 days after its date of acquisition by the Trust;

unless, in any such case, the Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall constitute a Servicing Advance), a copy of which shall be provided to the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee, to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held by REMIC 1, in which case the Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.

The Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:

(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent herewith;

(ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed above, and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;

(iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.23(c) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and

(iv) the Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.

The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the Servicer’s compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such fees; provided, however, that to the extent that any payments made by such Independent Contractor would constitute Servicing Advances if made by the Servicer, such amounts shall be reimbursable as Servicing Advances made by the Servicer.

(d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.23(c), the Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any REO Property: (i) to pay itself or any Sub‑Servicer unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse itself or any Sub‑Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made in respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan. On the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account maintained by it and deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii), for distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01, the income from the related REO Property received during the prior calendar month, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.23(c) or this Section 3.23(d).

(e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.23(a), each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer shall deem necessary or advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its general servicing activities for similar properties.

(f) The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount required by law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan and net of any payment or reimbursement to the Servicer or any Sub‑Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Servicer Remittance Date in the month following the receipt thereof for distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration).

(g) The Servicer shall file information returns with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code, respectively. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.

Section 3.24 Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.

The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit into the Distribution Account on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds an amount (“Compensating Interest”) equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the related Distribution Date resulting solely from Principal Prepayments during the related Prepayment Period and (ii) the amount of its aggregate Servicing Fee for the most recently ended calendar month.

Section 3.25 Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of Mortgage Rates and Monthly Payments.

In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with respect to any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances that were made by the Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof, immediately shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust, the Trustee, the Depositor and any successor servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3.25 shall not limit the ability of the Servicer to seek recovery of any such amounts from the related Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Note, as permitted by law and shall not be an expense of the Trust.

Section 3.26 Reserve Fund.

No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain with itself a separate, segregated non-interest bearing trust account titled, “Reserve Fund, Citibank, N.A., as Trustee, in trust for registered Holders of WaMu Asset-Backed Certificates WaMu Series 2007-HE3 Trust.” The Trustee shall account for the right to receive payments from the Reserve Fund as property that the Trustee holds separate and apart from the REMIC Regular Interests. On the first Distribution Date, amounts in the Reserve Fund will include any amounts withdrawn from the Interest Coverage Account and deposited in the Reserve Fund pursuant to Section 4.12(c).

(a) The following amounts shall be deposited into the Reserve Fund:

(i) On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the Reserve Fund $1,000;

(ii) On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount payable to any of the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by the Holders of the Class C Certificates to, and therefore shall, deposit into the Reserve Fund the amounts described in Section 4.01(d)(i)(U); and

(iii) On each Distribution Date as to which there are no Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts, the Trustee shall deposit into the Reserve Fund on behalf of the Holders of the Class C Certificates, from amounts otherwise distributable to such Class C Certificates, an amount such that when added to other amounts already on deposit in the Reserve Fund, the aggregate amount on deposit therein is equal to $1,000.

(b) The Reserve Fund shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” under applicable Treasury regulations and shall not be part of any REMIC created hereunder. For federal and state income tax purposes, the Holders of the Class C Certificates shall be deemed to be the owners of the Reserve Fund and all amounts deposited into the Reserve Fund (other than the initial deposit therein of $1,000) shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC 3 to REMIC CX in respect of the Class C Interest, and then distributed by REMIC CX to the Holders of the Class C Certificates. For federal and state income tax purposes, payments in respect of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts will not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).

(c) By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Holder of a Class C Certificate shall be deemed to have directed the Trustee to, and the Trustee shall pursuant to such direction, deposit into the Reserve Fund the amounts described in Section 3.26(a)(ii) and (a)(iii) above on each Distribution Date. By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Holder of a Class C Certificate further agrees that such direction is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance.

(d) At the direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class C Certificates, the Trustee shall direct any depository institution maintaining the Reserve Fund to invest the funds in such account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Trustee or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment. If no investment direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class C Certificates with respect to the Reserve Fund is received by the Trustee, the Trustee shall invest the funds in the Reserve Fund in Permitted Investments managed by the Trustee or an Affiliate of the kind described in clause (vi) of the definition of Permitted Investments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any funds in the Reserve Fund shall be invested in Permitted Investments upon and pursuant to written investment directions from the Servicer. All income and gain earned upon such investment shall be deposited into the Reserve Fund. The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss on any investment made pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.26(d).

(e) For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Certificateholders to receive payment on account of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates from the Reserve Fund in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount shall be assigned a value of zero.

Section 3.27 Advance Facility.

(a) The Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, at the direction of the Servicer and with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, is hereby authorized to enter into a facility with any Person which provides that such Person (an “Advancing Person”) may make all or a portion of the Advances and/or Servicing Advances to the Trust under this Agreement, although no such facility shall reduce or otherwise affect the Servicer’s obligation to fund such Advances and/or Servicing Advances. To the extent that an Advancing Person makes all or a portion of any Advance or any Servicing Advance and provides the Trustee with notice acknowledged by the Servicer that such Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement, such Advancing Person shall be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for such amount to the extent provided in Section 3.27(b). Such notice from the Advancing Person shall specify the amount of the reimbursement and shall specify which Section of this Agreement permits the applicable Advance or Servicing Advance to be reimbursed. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation on the Advancing Person’s statement with respect to the amount of any reimbursement pursuant to this Section 3.27 and with respect to the Advancing Person’s statement with respect to the Section of this Agreement that permits the applicable Advance or Servicing Advance to be reimbursed. An Advancing Person whose obligations are limited to the making of Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the qualifications of a Servicer or a Sub‑Servicer pursuant to Article VI hereof and will not be deemed to be a Sub‑Servicer under this Agreement. If the terms of a facility proposed to be entered into with an Advancing Person by the Trust would not materially and adversely affect the interests of any Certificateholder, then the NIMS Insurer shall not withhold its consent to the Trust’s entering into such facility.

(b) If an advancing facility is entered into, then the Servicer shall not be permitted to reimburse itself under any Section specified or for any amount specified by the Advancing Person in the notice described under Section 3.27(a) above and acknowledged by the Servicer prior to the remittance to the Trust, but instead the Servicer shall include such amounts in the applicable remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to Section 3.10(a). The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay to the Advancing Person reimbursements for Advances and Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account to the same extent the Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself for such Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with the specified Sections had the Servicer itself made such Advance or Servicing Advance. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay directly to the Advancing Person such portion of the Servicing Fee as the parties to any advancing facility may agree.

(c) All Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a “first in‑first out” (FIFO) basis.

Section 3.28 PMI Policy; Claims Under the PMI Policy.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Article III, the Servicer shall not agree to any modification or assumption of a PMI Mortgage Loan or take any other action with respect to a PMI Mortgage Loan that could result in denial of coverage under the PMI Policy. The Servicer shall notify the PMI Insurer that the Trustee, as trustee on behalf of the Trust, is the insured, as that term is defined in the PMI Policy, of each PMI Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trust, prepare and file on a timely basis with the PMI Insurer, with a copy to the Trustee, all claims which may be made under the PMI Policy with respect to the PMI Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall take all actions required under the PMI Policy as a condition to the payment of any such claim. Any amount received from the PMI Insurer with respect to any such PMI Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Servicer, no later than two Business Days following receipt thereof, into the Collection Account. On each Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall pay to the PMI Insurer the PMI Insurer Fee for such Distribution Date from the amounts on deposit in the Collection Account prior to transferring any amounts in the Collection Account to the Trustee for deposit into the Distribution Account.

Section 3.29 Swap Agreement.

The Depositor hereby directs the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee to execute and deliver on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust the Swap Agreement and authorizes and directs the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee to perform its obligations thereunder on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust in accordance with the terms of the Swap Agreement. The Depositor hereby authorizes and directs the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee to ratify on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, as the Supplemental Interest Trust’s own actions, the terms agreed to by the Depositor (or any of its Affiliates) in relation to the Swap Agreement, as reflected in the Swap Agreement, and the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee hereby so ratifies the Swap Agreement. The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall amend of the Swap Agreement in accordance with its terms and as requested by a party to the Swap Agreement to cure any ambiguity in or correct or supplement any provision of the Swap Agreement, provided, however, that where compliance with the Rating Agency Condition (as defined in the Swap Agreement) is required under the Swap Agreement, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall have received a prior written confirmation from each applicable Rating Agency that such amendment would not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade or withdraw the then current ratings of any outstanding Class A Certificates or Mezzanine Certificates. On the Closing Date, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall enter into the Swap Agreement, solely on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, with the Swap Counterparty. The Swap Agreement shall be part of the Trust Fund but not part of any REMIC. The Swap Counterparty is the calculation agent under the Swap Agreement and shall calculate all amounts pursuant to the Swap Agreement and notify the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee of all such amounts. The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment to the Swap Agreement that would in its reasonable judgment adversely affect or alter its duties, obligations, liabilities or protections thereunder.

Section 3.30 Replacement Swap Agreement.

(a) The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall, solely on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, at the direction of the NIMS Insurer or, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, at the direction of the Depositor, in the event the Swap Agreement is terminated as a result of the designation by either party thereto of an Early Termination Date, enter into a replacement swap agreement with a replacement counterparty designated by the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer, as applicable. Such replacement swap agreement shall be upon such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the NIMS Insurer or, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, at the direction of the Depositor, provided, however, that such terms shall not impose on the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee any duties, burdens obligations or liabilities in its individual capacity not otherwise acceptable to it, provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Swap Termination Payment received by the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall be deposited in the Supplemental Interest Account and shall be used to make any upfront payment required under a replacement swap agreement and any upfront payment (the “Replacement Payment”) received by the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee from the counterparty to a replacement swap agreement shall be used to pay any Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Counterparty that is being replaced. The Swap Counterparty that is being replaced shall have first priority as to such Replacement Payments versus all other creditors of the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, and the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall pay from the Replacement Payments received the lesser of (x) the Replacement Payments so received and (y) any Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Counterparty (to the extent not already paid by the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee) that is being replaced immediately upon receipt.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the event that a replacement swap agreement cannot be obtained within 30 days after receipt by the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee of the Swap Termination Payment paid by the terminated Swap Counterparty, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee will deposit the Swap Termination Payment into a separate, non-interest bearing reserve account and shall, on each Distribution Date, withdraw from the amount then remaining on deposit in such reserve account (the “Swap Termination Reserve Account”), an amount equal to the Net Counterparty Payment, if any, that would have been paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee by the original Swap Counterparty (computed in accordance with the terms of the original Swap Agreement) and distribute such amount in accordance with Section 4.01(d)(iv)(B) of this Agreement. The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall not be required to establish the Swap Termination Reserve Account until one day prior to such deposit of the Swap Termination Payment.

(d) If a downgrade event (described in Part 5(b) of Schedule to the Swap Agreement) occurs, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall, promptly after a Responsible Officer of the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee has received actual knowledge or written notice of the reduction or withdrawal of the rating (it being understood that the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee has no duty to monitor the ratings of the Swap Counterparty), request the Swap Counterparty to take actions required to be taken by the Swap Counterparty by Part 5(b) of Schedule to the Swap Agreement.

Section 3.31 Swap Counterparty Default

In the event that the Swap Counterparty fails to perform any of its obligations under the Swap Agreement (including, without limitation, its obligation to make any payment or transfer collateral), or breaches any of its representations and warranties thereunder, or in the event that any Event of Default, Termination Event, or Additional Termination Event (each as defined in the Swap Agreement) occurs with respect to the Swap Agreement, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall, promptly following actual notice of such failure, breach or event, notify the Depositor and send any notices and make any demands, on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, required to enforce the rights of the Supplemental Interest Trust under the Swap Agreement (subject to Section 8.02(a)(viii)).

In the event that the Swap Counterparty’s obligations are guaranteed by a third party under a guaranty relating to the Swap Agreement (such guaranty the “Guaranty” and such third party the “Guarantor”), then to the extent that the Swap Counterparty fails to make any payment by the close of business on the day it is required to make payment under the terms of the Swap Agreement, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall, promptly following actual notice of the Swap Counterparty’s failure to pay, demand that the Guarantor make any and all payments then required to be made by the Guarantor pursuant to such Guaranty; provided, that the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall in no event be liable for any failure or delay in the performance by the Swap Counterparty or any Guarantor of its obligations hereunder or pursuant to the Swap Agreement and the Guaranty, nor for any special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits) in connection therewith.

Amounts held by the Final Maturity Reserve Trust shall be deemed to be distributed first from amounts received from the Supplemental Interest Trust, if any, and then from all other amounts. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all amounts distributable to the Class I-A Certificates on account of the Mortgage Loans, shall be distributable first on account of the Group I Mortgage Loans. On the Distribution Date on which the funds are distributed from the Final Maturity Reserve Trust pursuant to this Section 4.01(d)(iii), after making all distributions pursuant to this Section 4.01(d)(iii) (other than pursuant to Section 4.01(d)(iii)(J)), the Trustee shall distribute to itself all amounts remaining in the Final Maturity Reserve Trust that were deposited in the Final Maturity Reserve Account from the Supplemental Interest Trust and shall distribute all other amounts remaining in the Final Maturity Reserve Trust pursuant to Section 4.01(d)(iii)(J).

(A) first, for payment to the Swap Counterparty, any unpaid Swap Termination Payment not caused by a Derivative Provider Trigger Event payable by the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, including any amount remaining unpaid from prior Distribution Dates; and

(B) second, for payment in the amounts and in accordance with priorities (A) through (Y) of Section 4.01(d)(i) to the extent not paid with Net Monthly Excess Cashflow on such Distribution Date; provided, that any amounts distributable pursuant to this Section 4.01(d)(iv)(B) to the Seller or any of its Affiliates as the Holder of the Class C Certificates, owner trust certificates, preference shares, subordinate note or another instrument representing the right to receive the proceeds of the trust estate securing payments on the NIM Notes after all of the NIM Notes have been paid off or otherwise no longer outstanding, shall not be distributed pursuant to Section 4.01(d)(i)(Y) and instead will be held in the Supplemental Interest Account and distributed in the manner and priority set forth below.

provided, however, that the amount that shall be distributed pursuant to Section 4.01(d)(iv)(B) priority (1) cannot exceed the aggregate Realized Losses reduced by the aggregate of amounts previously distributed pursuant to this Section 4.01(d)(iv)(B) priority (1).

Any amounts in the Supplemental Interest Account received from the Swap Counterparty and not distributed on a Distribution Date after payments pursuant to Section 4.01(d)(iv)(B) will remain in the Supplemental Interest Account and be distributed pursuant to Section 4.01(d)(iv)(B) on the next Distribution Date. On the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates has been reduced to zero, after making all other distributions on such Distribution Date (including to the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates out of the Supplemental Interest Account), the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall distribute all remaining amounts in the Supplemental Interest Account to itself.

(v) On each Distribution Date, all amounts representing Prepayment Charges in respect of the Mortgage Loans received during the related Prepayment Period shall be withdrawn from the Distribution Account and distributed by the Trustee to the Class P Interest, and shall not be available for distribution to any other Class of Certificates. On each Distribution Date, all amounts representing any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts paid by or collected by the Servicer during the related Prepayment Period shall be withdrawn from the Distribution Account and distributed by the Trustee to the Class P Interest, and shall not be available for distribution to any other Class of Certificates. The payment of the foregoing amounts in respect of such Regular Interests shall not reduce the Uncertificated Principal Balance thereof.

(e) [Reserved].

(f) All distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Payments in respect of each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date will be made to the Holders of the respective Class of record on the related Record Date (except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.01 or Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution on such Class), based on the aggregate Percentage Interest represented by their respective Certificates, and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of any such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Certificates having an initial aggregate Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount that is in excess of the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) two‑thirds of the Original Class Certificate Principal Balance or Original Class Notional Amount of such Class of Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, which shall credit the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents. All such credits and disbursements with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate are to be made by the Depository and the Depository Participants in accordance with the provisions of the Certificates. None of the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer or the Seller shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by applicable law.

(g) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the Certificates, and all interests of the Certificateholders in such distributions, shall be as set forth in this Agreement. None of the Holders of any Class of Certificates, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the Servicer shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of any other Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly previously distributed on the Certificates.

(h) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates shall be made on the next Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, no later than three (3) days before the related Distribution Date, mail to the NIMS Insurer and each Holder on such date of such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect that:

(i) the Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein specified, and

(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the end of the related Accrual Period.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by the Trustee and credited to the account of the appropriate non‑tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non‑tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to the remaining non‑tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates but shall continue to hold any remaining funds for the benefit of non‑tendering Certificateholders. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in such trust fund. If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to WaMu Capital Corp. and Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated , equally, all such amounts, and all rights of non‑tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Trustee as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(h).

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) in no event shall the Certificate Principal Balance of a Mezzanine Certificate be reduced more than once in respect of any particular amount both (a) allocated to such Certificate in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.06 and (b) distributed to such Certificate in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof pursuant to this Section 4.01, and (ii) in no event shall the Uncertificated Principal Balance of a REMIC Regular Interest be reduced more than once in respect of any particular amount both (a) allocated to such REMIC Regular Interest in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.06 and (b) distributed on such REMIC Regular Interest in reduction of the Uncertificated Principal Balance thereof pursuant to Section 4.05.

(j) Any amounts distributed to REMIC CX on any Distribution Date in respect of the Class C Interest under Section 4.01(d)(i) shall, on such Distribution Date, be distributed by REMIC CX to the Holders of the Class C Certificates. Any amounts remaining in REMIC CX shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R-CX Certificates in respect of the Class R-CX Interest. Any amounts distributed to REMIC PX on any Distribution Date in respect of the Class P Interest shall, on such Distribution Date, be distributed by REMIC PX to the Holders of the Class P Certificates.

Any amounts remaining in REMIC CX shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R-CX Certificates in respect of the Class R-CX Interest. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Sections 4.01(f), 4.01(g) and 4.01(h) shall apply to the Class C Certificates and the Class P Certificates.

(k) For purposes of distributions pursuant to Section 4.01(d)(iv)(B) and for purposes of determining the Class C NIM Payment Amount, the Trustee shall use, and shall be entitled to rely on, the information provided to the Trustee by or on behalf of (i) the Holders of all of the Class C Certificates as to whether and when the NIM Notes have been issued and outstanding and (ii) the indenture trustee under the Indenture with respect to the amount necessary to pay in full the NIM Notes as provided in the Indenture and to pay in full any amounts owed to the NIMS Insurer as provided in the Indenture. Based upon and subject to its receipt of the necessary information it receives from the indenture trustee under the Indenture, the Trustee shall determine the Class C NIM Payment Amount for any Distribution Date using the most current information with respect to such amounts available to the Trustee on such Distribution Date.

Section 4.02 Preference Claims.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the NIMS Insurer of any proceeding or the institution of any action, of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law (a “Preference Claim”) of any distribution made with respect to the Class C Certificates or the Class P Certificates.

Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer’s records and replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before any future Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the Available Funds for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard to Advances to be made on the Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for future distributions had not been so used to make Advances.

(c) The obligation of the Servicer to make such Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to Section 4.04(d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, shall continue until the payment of the Mortgage Loan in full or the recovery of all Liquidation Proceeds thereon.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Advance or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if such Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and the Trustee.

Section 4.06 Allocation of Realized Losses.

(a) Prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine as to each Mortgage Loan and REO Property: (i) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Final Recovery Determinations made during the related Prepayment Period; (ii) whether and the extent to which such Realized Losses constituted Bankruptcy Losses; and (iii) the respective portions of such Realized Losses allocable to interest and allocable to principal. Prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall also determine as to each Mortgage Loan: (i) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Deficient Valuations made during the related Prepayment Period; and (ii) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with Debt Service Reductions in respect of Monthly Payments due during the related Due Period. The information described in the two preceding sentences that is to be supplied by the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee by the Servicer prior to the Determination Date immediately following the end of (i) in the case of Bankruptcy Losses allocable to interest, the Due Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred, and (ii) in the case of all other Realized Losses, the Prepayment Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred.

(b) If on any Distribution Date after giving effect to all Realized Losses incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loans during or prior to the related Due Period and distributions of principal with respect to the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates on such Distribution Date, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of the Class C Interest is equal to zero, Realized Losses equal to the Undercollateralized Amount shall be allocated by the Trustee on such Distribution Date as follows:

(i) to the Class M-9 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

(ii) to the Class M-8 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero,

(iii) to the Class M‑7 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

(iv) to the Class M‑6 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

(v) to the Class M‑5 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

(vi) to the Class M-4 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

(vii) to the Class M-3 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

(viii) to the Class M‑2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and

(ix) to the Class M‑1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.

All Realized Losses to be allocated to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Mezzanine Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the actual distributions to be made on such date as provided in Section 4.01. All references above to the Certificate Principal Balance of the Mezzanine Certificates shall be to the Certificate Principal Balance of the Mezzanine Certificates immediately prior to the relevant Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by any Realized Losses or increase thereof by any Subsequent Recoveries, in each case to be allocated to such Mezzanine Certificates on such Distribution Date.

Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. No allocations of any Realized Losses shall be made to the Class A Certificates or the Class P Certificates. Any Realized Losses that reduce the distributions in respect of and/or the Uncertificated Principal Balance of the Class C Interest, shall be allocated by the Trustee to reduce the distributions in respect of and/or the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class C Certificates.

(c) (i) Realized Losses on the Group I Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date to REMIC 1 Regular Interest IX. If the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 1 Regular Interest IX has been reduced to zero, Realized Losses on the Group I Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to the remaining REMIC 1 Group I Regular Interests in ascending numerical order, in each case until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC 1 Regular Interest has been reduced to zero. Realized Losses on the Group II Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date to REMIC 1 Regular Interest IIX. If the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 1 Regular Interest IIX has been reduced to zero, Realized Losses on the Group II Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to the remaining REMIC 1 Group II Regular Interests in ascending numerical order, in each case until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC 1 Regular Interest has been reduced to zero.

(ii) 50% of all Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date to the following REMIC 2 Regular Interests in the specified percentages, as follows:

first, to Uncertificated Accrued Interest payable to the REMIC 2 Regular Interest AA and ZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC 2 Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively;

second, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC 2 Regular Interest AA and ZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC 2 Principal Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively;

tenth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 2 Regular Interest AA, M2 and ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 2 Regular Interest M2 has been reduced to zero; and

eleventh, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 2 Regular Interest AA, M1 and ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 2 Regular Interest M1 has been reduced to zero.

(iii) 50% of all Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date to REMIC 2 Regular Xxxxxxxx 0XXX, 0XXX, 0XXX, REMIC 2 Regular Interest 2SUB, and REMIC 2 Regular Interest XX, as follows:

after all distributions have been made on such Distribution Date, Realized Losses shall be applied in such a manner as to keep the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC 2 Regular Interest ending with the designation “GRP” equal to 0.01% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group (determined as of the current Distribution Date), and the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC 2 Regular Interest ending with the designation “SUB” equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group as of the current Distribution Date over (y) the Certificate Principal Balance of the Senior Certificates related to such Loan Group immediately prior to such Distribution Date (except that if such excess is larger than it was for the preceding Distribution Date, the least amount of Realized Loss shall be allocated such that the REMIC 2 Subordinated Ratio is maintained); and then to REMIC 2 Regular Interest XX.

(d) If on any Distribution Date Allocated Realized Loss Amounts are to be reinstated due to Subsequent Recoveries, the Allocated Realized Loss Amounts shall be reinstated by the Trustee on such Distribution Date to increase the Certificate Principal Balances of the Mezzanine Certificates in the following order of priority, in each case until the related Allocated Realized Loss Amount has been reduced to zero:

(i) to the Class M‑1 Certificates;

(ii) to the Class M‑2 Certificates;

(iii) to the Class M‑3 Certificates;

(iv) to the Class M‑4 Certificates;

(v) to the Class M‑5 Certificates;

(vi) to the Class M‑6 Certificates;

(vii) to the Class M‑7 Certificates;

(viii) to the Class M-8 Certificates; and

(ix) to the Class M-9 Certificates.

All Subsequent Recoveries to be allocated to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Mezzanine Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the actual distributions to be made on such date as provided in Section 4.01. All references above to the Certificate Principal Balance of the Mezzanine Certificates shall be to the Certificate Principal Balance of the Mezzanine Certificates immediately prior to the relevant Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by any Realized Losses or increase thereof by any Subsequent Recoveries, in each case to be allocated to the Mezzanine Certificates on such Distribution Date.

Any Allocated Realized Loss Amounts to be reinstated to a Certificate on any Distribution Date due to Subsequent Recoveries shall be made by increasing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so reinstated. No allocations of any Subsequent Recoveries shall be made to the Class A Certificates or the Class P Certificates.

(e) (i) If on any Distribution Date Subsequent Recoveries occurred in the related Prepayment Period relating to the Group I Mortgage Loans, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries shall be allocated first to the REMIC 1 Group I Regular Interests with the designations “A” and “B” in the reverse order in which Realized Losses were allocated under Section 4.06(c)(i), and then to REMIC 1 Regular Interest IX. If on any Distribution Date Subsequent Recoveries occurred in the related Prepayment Period relating to the Group II Mortgage Loans, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries shall be allocated first to the REMIC 1 Group II Regular Interests with the designations “A” and “B” in the reverse order in which Realized Losses were allocated under Section 4.06(c)(i), and then to REMIC 1 Regular Interest IIX.

(ii) If on any Distribution Date Subsequent Recoveries occurred in the related Prepayment Period, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries shall be allocated among the REMIC 2 Regular Interests as follows:

(A) 50% of the Subsequent Recoveries from all Loan Groups shall be allocated among the REMIC 3 Regular Interests in the same proportions and amounts, but in the reverse order, as Realized Losses were allocated under Section 4.06(c)(ii).

(B) 50% of the Subsequent Recoveries from all Loan Groups shall be allocated in the same proportions, but in reverse order, as the Realized Losses were allocated under Section 4.06(c)(iii).

Section 4.07 Compliance with Withholding Requirements.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event the Trustee does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Trustee shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholders.

Section 4.08 Commission Reporting.

(a) The Trustee and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with the Trust’s satisfying the reporting requirements under the 1934 Act.

Section 4.09 Supplemental Interest Trust.

(a) On the Closing Date, there is hereby established a separate common law trust under the laws of the State of Delaware for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class C Certificates (the “Supplemental Interest Trust”), into which the Depositor shall deposit: (i) the Swap Agreement and (ii) $1,000. The Supplemental Interest Trust shall be maintained by the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, who initially, shall be the Trustee. On the Closing Date, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall establish and maintain in its name, a separate non-interest bearing account (the “Supplemental Interest Account”), to be held in the Supplemental Interest Trust into which the Depositor shall initially deposit $1,000. The Supplemental Interest 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 Trustee or of the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee held pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall deposit, to the extent of available funds, into the Supplemental Interest Account any amounts required to be paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 and shall distribute from the Supplemental Interest Account any such amounts to the Swap Counterparty as required by Section 4.01(d)(iv). For federal income tax purposes, such amounts paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust on each Distribution Date shall first be deemed paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of Class Swap IO Upper-Tier Interest to the extent of the amount distributable on such Class Swap IO Upper-Tier Interest on such Distribution Date, and any remaining amount shall be deemed paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of a Class IO Distribution Amount. The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall deposit into the Supplemental Interest Account any amounts received from the Swap Counterparty and shall distribute from the Supplemental Interest Account any such amounts to the Swap Counterparty and to the Holders of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class C Certificates as required pursuant to Section 4.01(d)(iv).

(c) Funds in the Supplemental Interest Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments. The Holders of the majority of the Percentage Interest of the Class C Certificates shall direct the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, in writing, as to investment of amounts on deposit therein. All income and gain earned upon such investment shall be deposited into the Supplemental Interest Account.

(d) In addition, on or after the Closing Date, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall establish and maintain in its name, a separate non-interest bearing account (the “Credit Support Annex Account”), to be held in the Supplemental Interest Trust. The Credit Support Annex 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 Trustee or of the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee held pursuant to this Agreement.

The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall deposit into the Credit Support Annex Account any amounts received from the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Credit Support Annex. Except for investment earnings, the Swap Counterparty shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Credit Support Annex Account other than in accordance with this Agreement, the Swap Agreement and applicable law. The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall maintain and apply all collateral and earnings thereon on deposit in the Credit Support Annex Account in accordance with Swap Credit Support Annex.

Cash collateral posted by the Swap Counterparty in accordance with the Swap Credit Support Annex shall be invested at the direction of the Swap Counterparty in Permitted Investments in accordance with the requirements of the Swap Credit Support Annex.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, a Termination Event, or an Additional Termination Event (each as defined in the Swap Agreement) or upon the occurrence or designation of an Early Termination Date (as defined in the Swap Agreement) as a result of any such Event of Default, Termination Event, or Additional Termination Event, and, in either such case, unless the Swap Counterparty has paid in full all of its Obligations (as defined in the Swap Credit Support Annex) that are then due, then any collateral posted by the Swap Counterparty in accordance with the Swap Credit Support Annex shall be applied to the payment of any Obligations due to Party B (as defined in the Swap Agreement) in accordance with the Swap Credit Support Annex. To the extent the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee is required to return any of the Posted Collateral to the Swap Counterparty under the terms of the Swap Credit Support Annex, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall return such collateral in accordance with the terms of the Swap Credit Support Annex.

It is the intention of the parties that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the Holders of the Class C Certificates be considered the owners of the Supplemental Interest Trust (exclusive of the Credit Support Annex Account) and that the Supplemental Interest Trust (exclusive of the Credit Support Annex Account) be disregarded as an entity separate from the Holder of the Class C Certificates unless and until the date when either (a) there is more than one Holder of the Class C Certificates or (b) any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class C Certificates is recharacterized as an equity interest in the Supplemental Interest Trust (exclusive of the Credit Support Annex Account) for federal income tax purposes, in which case it is the intention of the parties that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trust (exclusive of the Credit Support Annex Account) be treated as a partnership. Neither the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee nor the Trustee shall be responsible for any entity-level tax reporting, of tax return preparation or filing, for the Supplemental Interest Trust. If the Supplemental Interest Trust becomes characterized as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, the Servicer or its Affiliate shall (i) obtain, or cause to be obtained, a taxpayer identification number for the Supplemental Interest Trust, (ii) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, any necessary federal, state or local tax returns for the Supplemental Interest Trust, and (iii) prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to the Swap Counterparty an IRS Form W-9 and to update such form upon expiration, as required under then applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, and promptly upon learning that such IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form thereto) has become obsolete or incorrect. Each Holder of a Class C Certificate and each transferee thereof, by accepting the Class C Certificate, hereby to (x) designates and authorizes the Servicer or its Affiliate to act as its agent and as agent for the Supplemental Interest Trust in obtaining a taxpayer identification number for the Supplemental Interest Trust, preparing and filing tax returns, and issuing the IRS Form W-9, and (y) agrees to cooperate with the Servicer and to provide any information the Servicer reasonably requires to perform the foregoing functions.

(e) Any obligation of the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee under the Swap Agreement shall be deemed to be an obligation of the Supplemental Interest Trust.

Section 4.10 Final Maturity Reserve Trust.

(a) On the Closing Date, there is hereby established a separate common law trust under the laws of the State Delaware for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class C Certificates (the “Final Maturity Reserve Trust”) into which the Depositor shall deposit $1,000. The Final Maturity Reserve Trust shall be maintained by the Final Maturity Reserve Trust Trustee, who, initially, shall be the Trustee. On the Closing Date, the Final Maturity Reserve Trust Trustee shall establish and maintain in its name, a separate non-interest bearing account (the “Final Maturity Reserve Account”), into which the Depositor shall initially deposit $1,000. The Final Maturity Reserve 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 Trustee or of the Final Maturity Reserve Trust Trustee held pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) The Final Maturity Reserve Trust Trustee shall deposit into the Final Maturity Reserve Account any Group I Final Maturity Reserve Amount, Group II Final Maturity Reserve Amount and Supplemental Final Maturity Reserve Amount pursuant to Section 4.01. The Final Maturity Reserve Trust Trustee shall distribute the funds in the Final Maturity Reserve Account pursuant to Section 4.01(d)(iii).

(c) Funds in the Final Maturity Reserve Trust shall be held by the Trustee in the Final Maturity Reserve Account uninvested. The Class C Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Final Maturity Reserve Trust for federal income tax purposes.

(d) For federal income tax purposes, any Certificateholder that receives a principal payment from the Final Maturity Reserve Trust shall be treated as selling a portion of its Certificate to the Holder of the Class C Certificates and as having received the amount of the principal payment from the Holder of the Class C Certificates as the proceeds of the sale. The portion of the Certificate that is treated as having been sold shall equal the amount of the corresponding reduction in the Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificate. Principal payments received from the Final Maturity Reserve Trust shall not be treated as distributions from any REMIC created hereby. All principal distributions from the Final Maturity Reserve Trust shall be accounted for hereunder in accordance with this Section 4.10(d).

Therefore, each of the parties agrees that (a) the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted in such a manner as to accomplish that purpose, (b) the parties’ obligations hereunder will be supplemented and modified as necessary to be consistent with any such amendments, interpretive advice or guidance, convention or consensus among active participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise in respect of the requirements of Regulation AB, (c) the parties shall comply with requests made by the Depositor for delivery of additional or different information as the Depositor may determine in good faith is necessary to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, and (d) no amendment of this Agreement shall be required to effect any such changes in the parties’ obligations as are necessary to accommodate evolving interpretations of the provisions of Regulation AB.

Section 4.12 Interest Coverage Account.

(a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain a segregated non-interest bearing trust account that is an Eligible Account, which shall be titled “Interest Coverage Account, Citibank, N.A., as trustee for the registered Holders of WaMu Asset-Backed Certificates WaMu Series 2007-HE3 Trust” (the “Interest Coverage Account”). The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the Interest Coverage Account and retain therein the Interest Coverage Amount remitted on the Closing Date to the Trustee by the Depositor. Funds deposited in the Interest Coverage Account shall be held in trust by the Trustee for the Certificateholders for the uses and purposes set forth herein.

(b) For federal income tax purposes, the Servicer shall be the owner of the Interest Coverage Account and shall report all items of income, deduction, gain or loss arising therefrom. At no time will the Interest Coverage Account be an asset of any REMIC created hereunder. Amounts held in the Interest Coverage Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments upon and pursuant to written investment directions from the Servicer. The Trustee shall have no liability for losses on any such investment and in the absence of such written directions from the Servicer, the Trustee shall be under no duty to invest (or otherwise pay interest on) such funds. All income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Interest Coverage Account shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Servicer and shall be remitted by the Trustee to the Servicer no later than the first Business Day following receipt of such income and gain by the Trustee. The Servicer shall deposit in the Interest Coverage Account the amount of any net loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment immediately upon realization of such loss.

(c) On the first Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Interest Coverage Account and deposit in the Reserve Fund an amount equal to the difference between (x) the aggregate amount of interest accrued during the related Accrual Period at the related Formula Rate on the Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates immediately prior to such Distribution Date, minus the aggregate amount of any Relief Act Interest Shortfalls or Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for such Distribution Date over (y) the sum of the Group I Interest Remittance Amount and the Group II Interest Remittance Amount for such Distribution Date. On the second Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw any remaining amounts from the Interest Coverage Account and distribute them to the Servicer.

THE CERTIFICATES

Section 5.01 The Certificates.

(a) The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets included in the Trust Fund.

The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits A‑1 through A‑6. The Certificates of each Class will be issuable in registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the related Class.

Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed by the Trustee and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, to or upon the order of the Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed and attested by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized signatory. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

(b) The Book Entry Certificates shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates held by the Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to hold such Certificates as provided below, the Depository and registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided below, registration of the Book-Entry Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository that agrees to hold the Book-Entry Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in and to the Book-Entry Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided below, shall not be entitled to definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) in respect of such Ownership Interests. All transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the 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 the Ownership Interests in the 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. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depository authorizing it to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and if it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor, the Servicer and if the Trustee is not the Book-Entry Custodian, the Trustee and any other transfer agent (including the Depository or any successor Depository) to act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the Depository or any successor Depository may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by reason of any such appointment of other than the Depository. If the Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, successor Trustee or, if it so elects, the Depository shall immediately succeed to its predecessor’s duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian.

The Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of the exercise by Certificateholders of the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate Owners. The Depositor is hereby authorized to execute and deliver on behalf of the Trust the Letter of Representations to be submitted on behalf of the Trust to the Depository and to perform the obligations of the Issuer (as defined in the Letter of Representations) thereunder. The Trustee is hereby authorized to execute and deliver as agent of the Trust the Letter of Representations to be submitted on behalf of the Trust to the Depository and to perform the obligations of the Agent (as defined in the Letter of Representations) thereunder. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners. The Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.

If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor notifies the Trustee and the Depository of its intent to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository and, upon receipt of notice of such intent from the Depository, the Depository Participants with a position in the Book Entry Certificates agree to initiate such termination, or (iii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trustee through the Depository, 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 Trustee 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 Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as applicable, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Such Definitive Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of $25,000, except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry Certificate in an amount less than $25,000 immediately prior to the issuance of a Definitive Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination equal to the amount represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. 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 Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

Each transferee of a Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate shall sign a letter substantially in the form of Exhibit I to demonstrate its compliance with this Section 5.02(c) (other than in connection with the (i) initial transfer of any Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificates by the Depositor to the Seller, (ii) the transfer of any Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificates by the Seller to an Affiliate of the Seller or to a trust, the depositor of which is an Affiliate of the Seller, (iii) the transfer of any Class C Certificates, Class P Certificates or Residual Certificates by an Affiliate of the Seller to one or more entities sponsored by such Affiliate or to a trust the depositor of which is one or more entities sponsored by such Affiliate or (iv) a subsequent transfer of any Class C Certificates, Class P Certificates or Residual Certificates to the Seller or its designee by such entity or trust described in clauses (ii) or (iii) above to which the Certificates were previously transferred in reliance on clauses (ii) or (iii) above).

For so long as the Swap Agreement is in effect, except as provided in the next sentence, no transfer of any Class C Certificate shall be effective unless and until the proposed transferee of such Class C Certificate provides to each of (a) the Trustee, (b) the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee and (c) the Swap Counterparty, the appropriate tax certification form (i.e., IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form X-0XXX, X-0XXX, X-0XXX or W-8ECI, as applicable or any successor form thereto), and such proposed transferee agrees to update such forms (i) upon expiration of any such form, (ii) as required under then applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, and (iii) promptly upon learning that any IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form X-0XXX, X-0XXX, X-0XXX or W-8ECI, as applicable or any successor form thereto, has become obsolete or incorrect.

Except for transfers described in the second sentence of this paragraph, any purported sales or transfers of any Class C Certificate to a transferee that does not comply with the requirements of this paragraph shall be deemed null and void under this Agreement, and the Trustee shall continue to treat the purported transferor as the owner of the relevant Class C Certificates for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of any tax certification form pursuant to this paragraph, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall forward a copy of such form to the Swap Counterparty.

(d) 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 to have irrevocably appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney‑in‑fact to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in 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 and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.

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

(iii) Except in connection with any transfer to an Affiliate of the Depositor, in connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Trustee shall as a condition to registration of the transfer, require delivery to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of each of the following:

(A) an affidavit in the form of Exhibit K hereto from the proposed transferee to the effect that such transferee is a Permitted Transferee and that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the subject of the proposed transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee; and

(B) a covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect that the proposed transferee agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer restrictions applicable to the Residual Certificates.

(iv) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall, in violation of the provisions of this Section, become a Holder of a Residual Certificate, then the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall not be under any liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section or for making any distributions due on such Residual 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 Trustee received the documents specified in clause (iii). The Trustee shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such distributions were made all distributions made on such Residual Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the Trustee shall be distributed and delivered by the Trustee to the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.

(v) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Trustee shall have the right but not the obligation, without notice to the Holder of such Residual Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership Interest therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of such Residual Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Depositor or its affiliates in connection with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Trustee to the previous Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee, except that in the event that the Trustee determines that the Holder of such Residual Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this Section or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee may withhold a corresponding amount from such remittance as security for such claim. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee and it shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

(vi) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Trustee will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons designated in Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e)(1) of the Code on such transfer.

The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to transfers occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been delivered to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, (i) written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its rating of any of the Other NIM Notes, the Insured NIM Notes (without giving effect to any insurance policy issued by the NIMS Insurer) or the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.

(e) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Trustee designated from time to time for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12, the Trustee shall execute and authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated Transferee or Transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.

(f) At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

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

All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled by the Trustee and disposed of pursuant to its standard procedures.

Notwithstanding any term herein contained to the contrary, the Trustee shall not be under any obligation to determine or monitor whether any transfer or exchange of any Certificate complies with the Securities Act, or any other state securities laws that may be applicable, or ERISA, the Investment Company Act or the Code; provided, however, that if a certificate, opinion or other requirement is specifically set forth in this Section 5.02, the Trustee shall be under a duty to receive and examine such certificate or opinion to determine whether conforms on its face with the requirement specifically set forth in this Section 5.02.

Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee, the Depositor and (in the case of a Class C Certificate or Class P Certificate) the NIMS Insurer such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them, and the Trust Fund, harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee 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 Trustee) in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section, shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners.

The Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and any agent of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, or the NIMS Insurer may treat the Person, including a Depository, in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the NIMS Insurer nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

ARTICLE VI

THE SERVICER AND THE DEPOSITOR

Section 6.01 Liability of the Servicer and the Depositor.

The Depositor and the Servicer each shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor and the Servicer herein.

Section 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the Servicer.

Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Subject to the following paragraph, the Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and its qualification as an approved conventional seller/servicer for Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac in good standing. The Depositor and the Servicer each will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.

The Depositor or the Servicer may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor or the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor or the Servicer, 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 service mortgage loans on behalf of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac; and provided further that the Rating Agencies’ ratings of the Other NIM Notes, the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates and the shadow rating of the Insured NIM Notes (without giving effect to any insurance policy issued by the NIMS Insurer) in effect immediately prior to such merger or consolidation will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies to the Trustee).

Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicer and Others.

None of the Depositor, the Servicer or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties, representations or covenants made herein, or against any specific liability imposed on the Servicer or the Depositor, as applicable, pursuant hereto, or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason 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 Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or 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. Neither the Depositor nor the Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and, in its opinion, does not involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor and the Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, unless the Depositor or the Servicer acts without the consent of Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights (which consent shall not be necessary in the case of litigation or other legal action by either to enforce their respective rights or defend themselves hereunder), the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except 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) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust, and the Depositor and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as and to the extent provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account.

The Servicer (except the Trustee to the extent it has succeeded the Servicer as required hereunder) indemnifies and holds the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Depositor and the Trust Fund harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Depositor or the Trust Fund may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor if a claim is made that may result in such claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees or related costs, judgments, or any other costs, fees and expenses, and the Servicer shall assume (with the consent of the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the Servicer, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Depositor and/or the Trust Fund in respect of such claim. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the outstanding Certificates.

Section 6.04 Limitation on Resignation of Servicer.

The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or (ii) with the written consent of the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer and written confirmation from each Rating Agency (which confirmation shall be furnished to the Depositor and the Trustee) that such resignation will not cause such Rating Agency to reduce the then current rating of any of the Other NIM Notes, the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine Certificates or the shadow rating of the Insured NIM Notes (without giving effect to any insurance policy issued by the NIMS Insurer). Any such determination pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the Servicer and delivered to the Trustee. No resignation of the Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to the NIMS Insurer shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this Agreement.

Except as expressly provided herein, the Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, nor delegate to or subcontract with, nor authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Servicer hereunder. The foregoing prohibition on assignment shall not prohibit the Servicer from designating a Sub‑Servicer as payee of any indemnification amount payable to the Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that as provided in Section 3.06 hereof, no Sub‑Servicer shall be a third‑party beneficiary hereunder and the parties hereto shall not be required to recognize any Sub‑Servicer as an indemnitee under this Agreement. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Servicer are transferred to a successor servicer, the entire amount of the Servicing Fee and other compensation payable to the Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor servicer.

Section 6.05 Rights of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee in Respect of the Servicer.

The Servicer shall afford (and any Sub‑Servicing Agreement shall provide that each Sub‑Servicer shall afford) the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Servicer (and any such Sub‑Servicer) in respect of the Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Servicer (and those of any such Sub‑Servicer) responsible for such obligations. Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee its (and any such Sub‑Servicer’s) most recent financial statements and such other information relating to the Servicer’s capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement that it possesses. To the extent such information is not otherwise available to the public, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee shall not disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the preceding two sentences without the Servicer’s (or any such Sub‑Servicer’s) written consent, except as required pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it is necessary to do so (i) in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, rating agencies or reinsurers or (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in either case, the Depositor or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall use, and the NIMS Insurer shall be deemed to have agreed with the parties hereto to use, its best efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non‑public information. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Servicer under this Agreement or exercise the rights of the Servicer under this Agreement; provided that the Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

ARTICLE VII

DEFAULT

Section 7.01 Servicer Events of Default.

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

(i) any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Trustee for distribution to the Certificateholders any payment (other than an Advance required to be made from its own funds on any Servicer Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.04) required to be made under the terms of the Certificates and this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Depositor, the Trustee (in which case notice shall be provided by telecopy), or to the Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or

(ii) any failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Servicer contained in this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of 45 days (30 days in the case of any failure to maintain a Sub‑Servicing Agreement with an eligible Sub‑Servicer to the extent required in accordance with Section 3.02(c)) after the earlier of (i) the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee, or to the Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights and (ii) actual knowledge of such failure by a Servicing Representative of the Servicer; 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, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding‑up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and if such proceeding is being contested by the Servicer in good faith, such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days or results in the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment; or

(iv) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling 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 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

(vi) [reserved]; or

(vii) any failure of the Servicer to make, or cause an Advancing Person to make, any Advance on any Servicer Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds pursuant to Section 4.04 which continues unremedied until 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Business Day immediately following the Servicer Remittance Date.

If a Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the NIMS Insurer and the Servicer (and to the Depositor if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the Depositor), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. If a Servicer Event of Default described in clause (vii) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer (delivered immediately by facsimile and effective on the date of acknowledgement of receipt in the case of a Servicer Event of Default described in clause (vii)), the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, 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 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 Servicer agrees, at its sole cost and expense, 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 Servicer’s functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer within one Business Day to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which at the time shall be or should have been credited by the Servicer to the Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer, or any REO Account or Servicing Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property (provided, however, that the 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, whether in respect of Advances or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of 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 Servicer Event of Default is received by the Trustee and such notice references the Certificates, any of the Trust REMICs or this Agreement.

The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Servicer (or by the Trust if the Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor servicer, including without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively.

Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

(a) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter, which shall be assumed by the Trustee (except for any representations or warranties of the Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in Section 2.03(c) and its obligation to deposit amounts in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.12) by the terms and provisions hereof including, without limitation, the Servicer’s obligations to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.04; provided, however, that if the Trustee is prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to make advances regarding delinquent Mortgage Loans, then the Trustee shall not be obligated to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.04; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Servicer’s failure to provide information required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee as successor to the Servicer hereunder; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the servicing transfer is fully effected. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee, and all other compensation to which the Servicer is entitled under the terms thereof, and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder (other than amounts which were due or would become due to the Servicer prior to its termination or resignation). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor Servicer to act as successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein. After the Servicer receives a notice of termination, notwithstanding the above and subject to the next paragraph, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if it is prohibited by law from making advances regarding delinquent Mortgage Loans, or if the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an established mortgage loan servicing institution acceptable to each Rating Agency, having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and reasonably acceptable to the NIMS Insurer, as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement.

No appointment of a successor to the Servicer under this Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by the successor of all of the Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.

In connection with the termination or resignation of the Servicer hereunder, either (i) the successor Servicer, including the Trustee if the Trustee is acting as successor Servicer, shall represent and warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, in which case the predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS to revise its records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor Servicer as necessary under MERS’ rules and regulations, or (ii) the predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System to the successor Servicer. The predecessor Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate recording office. The predecessor Servicer shall bear any and all fees of MERS, costs of preparing any assignments of Mortgage, and fees and costs of filing any assignments of Mortgage that may be required under this Section 7.02(a).

Upon removal or resignation of the Servicer, the Trustee, with the cooperation of the Depositor, (x) shall solicit bids for a successor Servicer as described below and (y) pending the appointment of a successor Servicer as a result of soliciting such bids, shall serve as Servicer of the Mortgage Loans serviced by such predecessor Servicer. The Trustee shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from housing and home finance institutions, banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting the qualifications set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 7.02 (including the Trustee or any affiliate thereof). Such public announcement shall specify that the successor Servicer shall be entitled to the servicing compensation agreed upon between the Trustee, the successor Servicer and the Depositor; provided, however, that no such fee shall exceed the Servicing Fee. Within thirty days after any such public announcement, the Trustee with the cooperation of the Depositor, shall negotiate in good faith and effect the sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder to the qualified party submitting the highest satisfactory bid as to the price they will pay to obtain such servicing. The Trustee, upon receipt of the purchase price shall pay such purchase price to the Servicer being so removed, after deducting from any sum received by the Trustee from the successor to the Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and assignment all costs and expenses of any public announcement and of any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities reasonably incurred hereunder. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be paid by the Trustee to the Servicer at the time of such sale.

(b) If the Servicer fails to remit to the Trustee for distribution to the Certificateholders any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement (for purposes of this Section 7.02(b), a “Remittance”) because the Servicer is the subject of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code and the making of such Remittance is prohibited by Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Trustee shall upon written notice of such prohibition, regardless of whether it has received a notice of termination under Section 7.01, shall be treated as though it had succeeded to the Servicer and shall advance the amount of such Remittance by depositing such amount in the Distribution Account on the related Distribution Date. The Trustee shall be obligated to make such advance only if (i) such advance, in the good faith judgment of the Trustee can reasonably be expected to be ultimately recoverable from Stayed Funds and (ii) the Trustee is not prohibited by law from making such advance or obligating itself to do so. Upon remittance of the Stayed Funds to the Trustee or the deposit thereof in the Distribution Account by the Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy or a federal bankruptcy court, the Trustee may recover the amount so advanced, without interest, by withdrawing such amount from the Distribution Account; however, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to affect the Trustee’s rights to recover from the Servicer’s own funds interest on the amount of any such advance. If the Trustee at any time makes an advance under this subsection which it later determines in its good faith judgment will not be ultimately recoverable from the Stayed Funds with respect to which such advance was made, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimburse itself for such advance, without interest, by withdrawing from the Distribution Account, out of amounts on deposit therein, an amount equal to the portion of such advance attributable to the Stayed Funds.

Section 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders.

(a) Upon any termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 above or any appointment of a successor to the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 above, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the NIMS Insurer.

(b) Not later than the later of 60 days after the occurrence of any event, which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer Event of Default or five days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates and to the NIMS Insurer and the Swap Counterparty notice of each such occurrence, unless such default or Servicer Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

Section 7.04 Waiver of Servicer Events of Default.

The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights evidenced by all Classes of Certificates affected by any default or Servicer Event of Default hereunder may, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, waive such default or Servicer Event of Default; provided, however, that a default or Servicer Event of Default under clause (i) or (vii) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the Holders of the Regular Certificates and the NIMS Insurer (as evidenced by the written consent of the NIMS Insurer). Upon any such waiver of a default or Servicer Event of Default, such default or Servicer Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Servicer Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

ARTICLE VIII

THE TRUSTEE

Section 8.01 Duties of Trustees.

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default known to the Trustee and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. During a Servicer Event of Default known to the Trustee, 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. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.

The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee’s satisfaction, the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders.

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

(i) Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default known to the Trustee, and after the curing of all such Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee 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 Delaware Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, such trustee 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 such trustee that conform to the requirements of this Agreement;

(ii) Neither the Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of such trustee unless it shall be proved that such trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to such trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon such trustee, under this Agreement.

Section 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustees.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

(i) The Trustee may request and rely conclusively upon and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and the manner of obtaining consents and evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as such trustee may prescribe;

(ii) Each of the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;

(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the NIMS Insurer or the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless the NIMS Insurer or such Certificateholders shall have offered to such trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to 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;

(d) Upon presentation of the Certificates by the Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute, in addition with all other amounts distributable in accordance with Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date, to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01 in respect of the Certificates so presented and surrendered. Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates being retired on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by the Trustee and credited to the account of the appropriate non‑tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non‑tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. Subject to the applicable law, if within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to remaining related non‑tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in the trust funds. If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to WaMu Capital Corp. and Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated, equally, all such amounts, and all rights of non‑tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Trustee as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.

Upon the completion of winding up of the Trust, including the payment or the making reasonable provision for payment of all obligations of the Trust in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Statutory Trust Statute, the Delaware Trustee shall prepare, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and any other trustee hereunder shall sign, and the Delaware Trustee (upon the Trustee’s consent acting at direction of the Servicer) shall file, a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State in accordance with Section 3810 of the Statutory Trust Statute, at which time the Trust and this Agreement shall terminate. The Servicer shall act as the liquidator of the Trust and shall be responsible for taking all actions in connection with winding up the Trust, in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement (including this Section 9.01 and Section 9.02) and applicable law.

The Trustee, as agent for each Trust REMIC’s tax matters person, shall (i) act on behalf of the Trust Fund in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving any Trust REMIC and (ii) represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto and will be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust Fund for any expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection therewith unless such administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority is incurred by reason of the Trustee’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence. The holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class R Certificates shall be designated, in the manner provided under Treasury regulations Section 1.860F‑4(d) and Treasury regulations Section 301.6231(a)(7)‑1, as the tax matters person of each Trust REMIC created hereunder other than REMIC CX, REMIC SwapX and REMIC PX. The holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class R-CX Certificates shall be designated, in the manner provided under Treasury regulations Section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulations Section 301.6231(a)(7)-1, as the tax matters person of REMIC CX and REMIC SwapX.

By its acceptance thereof, each such holder hereby agrees to irrevocably appoint the Trustee or an Affiliate as its agent to perform all of the duties of the tax matters person of each respective REMIC.

(d) The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file in a timely manner, all of the Tax Returns in respect of each REMIC created hereunder, copies of which Tax Returns shall be promptly furnished to the NIMS Insurer. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee without any right of reimbursement therefor. The Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to the Trustee or its designee such information with respect to the assets of the Trust Fund as is in its possession and reasonably required by the Trustee to enable it to perform its respective obligations under this Article.

(e) The Trustee shall perform on behalf of each Trust REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or such other compliance guidance, the Trustee shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a Residual Certificate (or other person designated in Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code) and to the Internal Revenue Service such information as is necessary for the computation of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption as required) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address and telephone number of the person who will serve as the representative of each Trust REMIC. The Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to the Trustee such information with respect to the assets of the Trust Fund, including, without limitation, the Mortgage Loans, as is in its possession and reasonably required by the Trustee to enable it to perform its obligations under this subsection. In addition, the Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Trustee reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes as to the valuations and issue prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flow of the Certificates. The Depositor shall also provide such information or data to the NIMS Insurer.

(f) The Trustee shall take such action and shall cause each Trust REMIC created hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to create or maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions (and the Servicer shall assist the Trustee, to the extent reasonably requested by the Trustee to do specific actions in order to assist in the maintenance of such status). The Trustee shall not take any action, cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions set forth in Section 860F(a) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer have received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to any Trust REMIC, endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor shall the Servicer take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action; provided that the Servicer may conclusively rely on such Opinion of Counsel and shall incur no liability for its action or failure to act in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall deliver to the NIMS Insurer a copy of any such advice or opinion. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any Trust REMIC or the assets thereof, or causing any Trust REMIC to take any action, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer will consult with the Trustee or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to a Trust REMIC, and the Servicer shall not take any such action or cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur; provided that the Servicer may conclusively rely on such writing and shall incur no liability for its action or failure to act in accordance with such writing. The Trustee may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Trustee will ensure that substantially all of the assets of REMIC 1 will consist of “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

(g) If any tax is imposed on prohibited transactions of any Trust REMIC created hereunder pursuant to Section 860F(a) of the Code, on the net income from foreclosure property of any such REMIC pursuant to Section 860G(c) of the Code, or on any contributions to any such REMIC after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or if any other tax is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Servicer pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Article X, or (iii) otherwise against amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.

(h) On or before April 15 of each calendar year (or the applicable deadline thereafter if extensions for filing are properly filed) commencing after the date of this Agreement, the Trustee shall deliver to the Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency a Certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Trustee stating the Trustee’s compliance with this Article X.

(i) The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each Trust REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

(j) Following the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC other than in connection with any Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03 unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject any Trust REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.

(k) Neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any Trust REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services or permit any Trust REMIC to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

(l) The Trustee shall treat each of the Reserve Fund, the Supplemental Interest Trust (other than the Credit Support Annex Account) and the Final Maturity Reserve Trust as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h) that is owned by the Holders of the Class C Certificates and that is not an asset of any REMIC. The Trustee shall treat the Credit Support Annex Account as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h) that is owned by the Swap Counterparty andthat is not an asset of any REMIC. The Trustee shall treat the beneficial owners of the Certificates (other than the Class P Certificates, the Class C Certificates and the Residual Certificates) as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the beneficial owners of the Class C Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all beneficial owners of the Certificates (other than the Class P Certificates, the Class C Certificates and the Residual Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the beneficial owners of the Class C Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the interest in REMIC 3 corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class C Shortfall”). A Class C 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 C Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding Certificate Principal Balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the beneficial owner of the Class C Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay (i) Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts and (ii) on any Distribution Date on or after June 2017 through the Distribution Date in May 2027 if amounts are not paid in to the Final Maturity Reserve Trust because the Final Maturity Reserve Funding Date has occurred or the amount on Schedule III exceeds the Stated Principal Balance of the 40-year Mortgage Loans, any amounts that would have been paid to the Final Maturity Reserve Trust if the Final Maturity Reserve Funding Date had not occurred or the Stated Principal Balance of the 40-year Mortgage Loans exceeded the amount on Schedule III, to the extent such amounts are used to make payments on such Certificates to the Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class P Certificates, the Class C Certificates and the Residual Certificates) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Any payments on 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 C Shortfall shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the beneficial owners of such Certificates in respect of their interests in the REMIC 3 and as having been paid by such beneficial owners to the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each Certificate (other than the Class P Certificates, the Class C Certificates and the Residual Certificates) shall be treated as representing ownership of not only regular interests in REMIC 3, but also ownership of an interest in (and obligations with respect to) a notional principal contract. For purposes of determining the issue price of the regular interests in REMIC 3, the Trustee shall assume that the notional principal contract has a value of $10,000 as of the Closing Date in favor of the Certificates (other than the Class C Certificates, the Class P Certificates and the Residual Certificates) and shall allocate such value proportionately to each such Class of Certificates based on such Class’s initial Certificate Principal Balance.

Section 10.02 Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

None of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection with (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of REMIC 1, (iii) the termination of REMIC 1 pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II or III of this Agreement), nor acquire any assets for any Trust REMIC (other than REO Property acquired in respect of a defaulted Mortgage Loan), nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any Trust REMIC after the Closing Date (other than a Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03), unless it and the NIMS Insurer have received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer (at the expense of the party seeking to cause such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution but in no event at the expense of the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee) that such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

Section 10.03 Trustee, Servicer and Depositor Indemnification.

(a) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Delaware Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Delaware Trustee, the Depositor or the Servicer as a result of a breach of the Trustee’s covenants set forth in this Article X or any state, local or franchise taxes imposed upon the Trust as a result of the location of the Trustee.

(b) The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Delaware Trustee, the Depositor and the Trustee for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Delaware Trustee, the Depositor or the Trustee as a result of a breach of the Servicer’s covenants set forth in Article III or this Article X or any state, local or franchise taxes imposed upon the Trust as a result of the location of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer.

(c) The Depositor agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Delaware Trustee, the Servicer and the Trustee for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Delaware Trustee, the Servicer or the Trustee as a result of a breach of the Depositor’s covenants set forth in this Article X.

No amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto, and no Opinion of Counsel shall be required to address the effect of any such amendment on any such consenting Certificateholder.

This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and, if applicable, the Custodian, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, and if necessary, with the prior written consent of the Swap Counterparty (as described below), and with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Custodial 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 received on Mortgage Loans which are 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 at least 66% of the Voting Rights allocated to such Class, or (iii) modify the consents required by the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates then outstanding and, provided, further, that any such amendment which modifies the rights or obligations of the Delaware Trustee hereunder shall require the consent of the Delaware Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 11.01, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such Certificates.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment will not result in the imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding and that such amendment is authorized by the terms of this Section 11.01.

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder and the NIMS Insurer.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 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.

The cost of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to this Section 11.01 shall be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment, but in no event shall such Opinion of Counsel be an expense of the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the Trust Fund.

Each of the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section that affects its rights, duties and immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for payment hereunder and that neither the Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee is liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day then the first Business Day following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office or agency of the Trustee specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and of Holders of the requisite percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office or agency maintained by the Trustee accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

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

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, if any, and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the NIMS Insurer, if any, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, if any, or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties is equal to or less than 10% of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, the Servicer or the NIMS Insurer, if any, may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans in the manner and at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust.

[to be used only in the case of the Class R Certificates:] [By acceptance of this Certificate, the Holders of this Certificate direct the Trustee to pay any amounts due to the Holders of this Certificate on the first Distribution Date to the Holders of the Class C Certificates.]

WaMu Asset-Backed Certificates,
WaMu Series 2007-HE3 Trust

STATE OF ____________ )

) ss.:

COUNTY OF __________ )

The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:

1. The undersigned is an officer of ________________________, the proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest in the Class [___] Certificate (the “Certificate”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2007 (the “Agreement”), relating to the above-referenced Certificates, among WaMu Asset Acceptance Corp., as depositor (the “Depositor”), Washington Mutual Bank, as servicer (the “Servicer”) and as seller, Citibank, N.A., as Trustee (the “Trustee”) and Christiana Bank & Trust Company, as Delaware Trustee (the “Delaware Trustee”). Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee.

2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof and will be, as of the date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Certificate either (i) for its own account or (ii) as nominee, trustee or agent for another Person and has attached hereto an affidavit from such Person in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.

3. The Transferee has been advised and understands that (i) a tax will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman) of a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false.

4. The Transferee has been advised and understands that a tax will be imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a “pass-through entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another Person.)

5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.

6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit L to the Agreement (a “Transferor Certificate”) to the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.

7. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Certificate.

8. The Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is _____________.

9. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section 7701(a)(30).

10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be “noneconomic residual interests” within the meaning of Treasury regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, if a significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax. The Transferee understands that, as the holder of a noneconomic residual interest, the Transferee may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Certificates. The Transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Certificate as they become due.

11. The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor is it acting on behalf of such a plan.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be executed on its behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its Vice President, attested by its Secretary, this ___ day of [__________].
