This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to (i) the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in Subgroup 1 less (ii) the aggregate principal balance of the T1-SA-SG1 interests.

(2)

The T1-A-SG1 interest and each T1-SA-SG1 interest shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the weighted average Net Mortgage Rate of the Mortgage Loans in Subgroup 1, weighted on the basis of the outstanding principal balances of such Mortgage Loans as of the beginning of the preceding calendar month and adjusted to take into account any distribution of principal in such preceding calendar month to the extent such principal was reflected in the outstanding principal balances as of the beginning of such preceding calendar month.

(3)

This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to (i) the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in Subgroup 2 less (ii) the aggregate principal balance of the T1-SA-SG2 interests.

(4)

The T1-A-SG2 interest and each T1-SA-SG2 interest shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the weighted average Net Mortgage Rate of the Mortgage Loans in Subgroup 2, weighted on the basis of the outstanding principal balances of such Mortgage Loans as of the beginning of the preceding calendar month and adjusted to take into account any distribution of principal in such preceding calendar month to the extent such principal was reflected in the outstanding principal balances as of the beginning of such preceding calendar month.

(5)

This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to (i) the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in Subgroup 3 less (ii) the aggregate principal balance of the T1-SA-SG3 interests.

(6)

The T1-A-SG3 interest and each T1-SA-SG3 interest shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the weighted average Net Mortgage Rate of the Mortgage Loans in Subgroup 3, weighted on the basis of the outstanding principal balances of such Mortgage Loans as of the beginning of the preceding calendar month and adjusted to take into account any distribution of principal in such preceding calendar month to the extent such principal was reflected in the outstanding principal balances as of the beginning of such preceding calendar month.

(7)

This interest shall also be entitled to all Prepayment Premiums received in respect of the Mortgage Loans in Subgroup 1.

(8)

This interest shall also be entitled to all Prepayment Premiums received in respect of the Mortgage Loans in Subgroup 2.

(9)

This interest shall also be entitled to all Prepayment Premiums received in respect of the Mortgage Loans in Subgroup 3.

(10)

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

On each Distribution Date, all Realized Losses and all payments of principal shall be allocated in the following order of priority:

With respect to such amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans in Subgroup 1:

(i)

First, to the T1-A-SG1 interest until such interest is reduced to zero, and

(ii)

Second, to the outstanding T1-SA-SG1 interest with the lowest numerical denomination until such interest is reduced to zero.

With respect to such amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans in Subgroup 2:

(i)

First, to the T1-A-SG2 interest until such interest is reduced to zero, and

(ii)

Second, to the outstanding T1-SA-SG2 interest with the lowest numerical denomination until such interest is reduced to zero.

With respect to such amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans in Subgroup 3:

(i)

(1)

This interest is a REMIC IV Accretion Directed Class.

(2)

This interest shall also be entitled to all Prepayment Premiums received in respect of the Mortgage Loans.

(3)

The T4-B-IO interest shall represent 3 regular interests, each of which is an interest-only regular interest. The first such regular interest shall have a notional balance equal to the principal balance of the T3-SG1-BIO interest, and a per annum Pass-Through Rate equal to: (a) on the Distribution Date in July 2004, the interest rate of the T3-SG1-BIO interest, subject to a maximum rate of 3.50%, and (b) thereafter, 0%. The second such regular interest shall have a notional balance equal to the principal balance of the T3-SG2-BIO interest, and a per annum Pass-Through Rate equal to: (a) on the Distribution Date in July 2004, the interest rate of the T3-SG2-BIO interest, subject to a maximum rate of 3.50%, and (b) thereafter, 0%. The third such regular interest shall have a notional balance equal to the principal balance of the T3-SG3-BIO interest, and a per annum Pass-Through Rate equal to: (a) on the Distribution Date in July 2004, the interest rate of the T3-SG3-BIO interest, subject to a maximum rate of 3.50%, and (b) thereafter, 0%.

(4)

The T4-SA-SG1 interest shall not have a principal balance, but shall be entitled to receive, on each Distribution Date, 100% of the interest distributable on the T3-SA-SG1 interest on such Distribution Date.

(5)

The T4-SA-SG2 interest shall not have a principal balance, but shall be entitled to receive, on each Distribution Date, 100% of the interest distributable on the T3-SA-SG2 interest on such Distribution Date.

(6)

The T4-SA-SG3 interest shall not have a principal balance, but shall be entitled to receive, on each Distribution Date, 100% of the interest distributable on the T3-SA-SG3 interest on such Distribution Date.

(7)

The T4-SA-SG-Sub interest shall represent an interest-only regular interest. It shall be entitled to receive, on each Distribution Date before the Distribution Date in March 2007, interest that accrues on the T3-A-SG2-Sub-A interest at a per annum rate equal to 2.52%, provided that, on the first Distribution Date, no interest shall be distributable on such regular interest. The rate of 2.52% is equal to 50 times the Strip Amount Rate, which corresponds to establishing the T3-A-SG2-Sub-A interests as having aggregate principal balances equal to approximately 1/50th of the Yield Maintenance Agreement Notional Amount.

On each Distribution Date, interest shall be distributed with respect to the interests in REMIC IV based on the above-described interest rates, provided however, that interest that accrues on the LT4-Accural Interest shall be deferred to the extent necessary to make the distributions of principal described below. Any interest so deferred shall itself bear interest at the interest rate for the LT4-Accural Interest.

On each Distribution Date the principal distributed on the REMIC III interests (together with an amount equal to the interest deferred on the LT4-Accural Interest for such Distribution Date) shall be distributed, and Realized Losses shall be allocated, among the interests in REMIC IV in the following order of priority:

(c)

Third, to the T4-SG3-PSA interest until its outstanding principal amount equals one quarter of the aggregate outstanding principal balances of the T3-A-SG3-Senior and T3-A-SG3-BIO interests immediately after such Distribution Date;

(d)

Fourth, to each remaining interest in REMIC IV having a Corresponding Class in REMIC V until the outstanding principal amount of each such interest equals one-quarter of the outstanding principal amount of the Corresponding Class of Certificates for such interest immediately after such Distribution Date;

(e)

Fifth, to the T4-Sub-PSA interest until its outstanding principal amount equals (i) one-half of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the T3-A-SG2-Sub-A and T3-A-SG2-Sub-B interests immediately after such Distribution Date minus (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of each remaining interest in REMIC IV having the letter “M” in its class designation; and

(f)

Finally, to the T4-Accural Interest, any remaining amounts.

REMIC V:

The following table sets forth characteristics of the Certificates, each of which, except for the Class R Certificates, is hereby designated as a “regular interest” in the REMIC V:

Class	Original Certificate Principal Balance	Pass-Through Rate
Class A1	$213,300,000	(1)
Class A1A	23,700,000
Class A2	198,000,000	(1)

Class P	$100	(4)
Strip Amount	(5)	(5)
Class R (6)	N/A	N/A

(1)

The lesser of the related Formula Rate and the applicable Net WAC Rate. Any entitlement to Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts shall not be an obligation of any REMIC created hereunder.

(2)

The Class B-IO Certificates are entitled to 100% of the interest distributions in respect of the T4-B-IO interest.

(3)

The Class X Certificates have a notional balance equal to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans. The initial interest rate of the Class X Certificates shall be a rate sufficient to cause all net interest from the Mortgage Loans to accrue on the Class X Certificate that is in excess of the amount of interest that accrues on the Class A Certificates, Class M Certificates, the Class B-IO Certificates and Aggregate the Strip Amount. For any Distribution Date, the Pass-Through Rate in respect of the Class X Certificates shall be the excess of: (i) the Net WAC Rate over (ii) the product of: (A) four and (B) the weighted average Pass-Through Rate of the REMIC IV Accretion Directed Classes, the T4-P, T4-SG1-PSA, T4-SG1-N, T4-SG2-PSA, X0-XX0-X, X0-XX0-XXX, X0-XX0-X interests and the T4 Accrual Interest, where the T-4 Accrual Interest and the T4-P, T4-SG1-PSA, T4-SG1-N, T4-SG2-PSA, T4-SG2-N, T4-SG3-PSA, T4-SG3-N interests are each subject to a cap equal to zero and each REMIC IV Accretion Directed Classes is subject to a cap equal to the Pass-Through Rate on its Corresponding Class. The Class X Certificates shall also be entitled to principal equal to the excess of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date (less $100.00) over the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates and Class M Certificates as of the Closing Date. Such principal balance shall not bear interest.

(4)

The Class P Certificates shall not be entitled to payments of interest, but shall be entitled to receive all Prepayment Premiums in respect of the Mortgage Loans.

(5)

The Strip Amount shall be a REMIC regular interest of REMIC V. The Strip Amount shall not have a principal balance, but shall receive 100% of the amount received from the X0-XX-XX0, X0-XX-XX0, X0-XX-XX0 and T4-SA-SG-Sub interests.

(6)

REMIC V shall also issue the R-V interest, which shall not have a principal amount and shall not bear interest. The R-V interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC V. The Class R Certificates shall represent the beneficial ownership of the R-I, R-II, R-III, R-IV and R-V interests.

The foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the cash from the Mortgage Loans to flow through to REMIC V as cash flow on a REMIC regular interest, without creating any shortfall, actual or potential (other than for credit losses), to any REMIC regular interest. To the extent that the structure is believed to diverge from such intention, the party identifying any ambiguity or drafting error shall notify the other parties hereto, and the parties hereto shall attempt to resolve such ambiguity or correct such drafting error in accordance with Section 11.01 to accomplish such intention.

The Trustee shall account for the amount, if any, that the amount distributed with respect to the Aggregate Strip Amount is less than the amount the Trust is required to pay under the Yield Maintenance Agreements as a payment to the Class X Certificates and a payment by the Class X Certificates on the Yield Maintenance Agreements for all federal tax purposes. Any Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans borne by the Class X Certificates shall be accounted for consistent with its right to receive funds to make payments on the Yield Maintenance Agreements.

(a)

The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby establish the Trust and transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee without recourse for the benefit of the Certificateholders 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 Assignment and Assumption Agreement, each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the Reconstitution Agreement, and all other assets included or to be included in the Trust Fund. Such assignment includes all interest and principal received by the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than payments of principal and interest due on such Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date). The Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee an executed copy of the Reconstitution Agreement. In addition, on or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee shall execute the Yield Maintenance Agreements and the Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to do so. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that does not have a first payment date during the Due Period related to the first Distribution Date, the Depositor shall deposit into the Distribution Account on or before the Servicer Remittance Date relating to the first Distribution Date, an amount equal to one month’s interest at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan.

If the assignment and transfer of the Mortgage Loans and the other property specified in this Section 2.01 from the Depositor to the Trustee 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 Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, 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 Fund pursuant to this Section 2.01 and all proceeds thereof, substitutions therefor and accessions thereto, 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 Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, a copy of the related Mortgage Loan Schedule in an electronic, machine readable medium, and the following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so transferred and assigned (each, a “Mortgage File”):

(iii)

an original Assignment of the Mortgage in blank;

(iv)

the original recorded Assignment or Assignments of the Mortgage showing a complete chain of assignment from the originator to the Person assigning the Mortgage to the Trustee or in blank;

with respect to any first lien Mortgage Loan, the original lender’s title insurance policy, if available, together with all endorsements or riders which were issued with or subsequent to the issuance of such policy, insuring the priority of the Mortgage as a first lien on the Mortgaged Property represented therein as a fee interest vested in the Mortgagor, or in the event such original title policy is unavailable, a written commitment or uniform binder or preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow company, if available.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee, if applicable, acknowledges receipt of items listed under clause (v) above only to the extent that it has received a written schedule of the items to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to such clause (v).

The Depositor hereby represents that, on the Closing Date (i) no more than 1% of the Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date may have lost note affidavits in lieu of the original Mortgage Notes and (ii) the Depositor shall cause the Originator to deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, a copy of the original Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan with respect to which a lost note affidavit is delivered.

The Depositor shall cause the Originator, at its expense, to promptly (and in no event later than thirty (30) Business Days, subject to extension upon a mutual agreement among the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee, following the later of the Closing Date and the date of receipt by the Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, of the recording information for a Mortgage) submit or cause to be submitted to the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, in the appropriate public office for real property records, each Assignment referred to in clauses (iii) and (iv) above in this Section 2.01(a) and shall execute each original Assignment in the following form: “Xxxxx Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A., as Trustee under the applicable agreement, without recourse.” In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Depositor shall or shall cause the Originator to 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.

If any of the documents referred to in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above in this Section 2.01(a) 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 Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, of a copy of each such document certified by the Originator, 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 Originator or delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, promptly upon receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified by the applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original. If the original lender’s title insurance policy was not delivered pursuant to clause (vii) above in this Section 2.01(a), the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, promptly after receipt thereof, the original lender’s title insurance policy, if available. The Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, 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, as applicable, are and shall be held by or on behalf of the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. 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, as applicable. 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.

The Depositor shall deliver or cause the Originator, the Trustee or the Custodian to deliver to the Servicer copies of all trailing documents required to be included in the Servicing File at the same time the originals or certified copies thereof are delivered to the Trustee or Custodian, as applicable, which documents shall include, but are not limited to, the mortgagee policy of title insurance and any Mortgage Loan documents upon return from the recording office. The Servicer shall not be responsible for any custodial fees other than costs incurred in obtaining such documents, and the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Seller for any reasonable costs incurred in obtaining such documents.

(b)

It is agreed and understood by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee that it is not intended that any Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust Fund that is a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act, effective as of November 27, 2003, or The Home Loan Protection Act of New Mexico, effective as of January 1, 2004.

SECTION 2.02.

Acceptance of REMIC I 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 the Custodian acknowledges receipt of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other than such documents described in Section 2.01(a)(iv)) above and all other assets included under clauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) of the definition of “REMIC I” (to the extent of amounts deposited into the Distribution Account) and declares that the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage File on behalf of the Trust, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in the definition of “REMIC I” in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee also acknowledges receipt of the amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Reserve Fund in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

The Trustee agrees on or before the Closing Date, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to review, or cause the Custodian to review, each Mortgage File and to certify, or cause the Custodian to certify, to the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, neither the Trustee nor the Custodian was 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, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose (including with respect to Section 2.01(a)(vi), whether such title insurance policy insures the priority of the Mortgage as a first lien) 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 Section 2.01(a)(iv).

Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Seller and the Servicer a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C-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 or the Custodian 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 the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Custodian or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Originator or the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Agreement, respectively, in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects 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.

Enforcement of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Agreement against the Originator or the Seller, respectively, shall be effected by the Trustee. The Trustee 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 Person against which such enforcement is directed; provided, however, if the sources of reimbursement described in clauses (i) and (ii) are insufficient, the Trustee may seek reimbursement for any remaining unreimbursed costs of such enforcement from the Trust Fund as an Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense.

SECTION 2.03.

Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Originator, the Seller or the Depositor; Payment of Prepayment Premiums in the Event of Breach.

(a)

(i)Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto or receipt of notice by a Responsible Officer in the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, the Mortgage File or of the breach by the Originator of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the Reconstitution Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan that materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller and the Servicer of such defect, missing document or breach and cause the Originator to deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from the date the Originator was notified of such missing document, defect or breach; provided that such missing document was not previously delivered by the Originator under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the Reconstitution Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable, any breach by the Originator of the Xxxxxxx Mac Representations (as defined and set forth in the Reconstitution Agreement) shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders in that Mortgage Loan. If the Originator does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Originator under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the Reconstitution Agreement to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price, to the extent that the Originator is obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the Reconstitution Agreement. In the event that the Originator shall fail to cure the applicable breach or repurchase a Mortgage Loan in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Depositor shall do so. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Distribution Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of such deposit, shall release or cause the Custodian to release to the Originator or the Depositor, as the case may be, the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, (provided, however, that in the instruments of transfer or assignment, the Trustee shall represent and warrant to the Originator or the Depositor, as applicable, that the repurchased Mortgage Loan is free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest created by the Trustee and its successors, assigns and transferees), as the Originator or the Depositor, as applicable, shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Originator or the Depositor, as the case may be, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee shall have no 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 Reconstitution Agreement or this Agreement, the Originator or the Depositor, as applicable, may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(c). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Originator or the Depositor, as applicable, 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 Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

(ii)

Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto or receipt of notice by a Responsible Officer in the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee of any breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Seller in Section 2.05(b)(vii) and (viii) in respect of any Mortgage Loan that materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders (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), the Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller and the Servicer of such breach and cause the Seller to cure such breach within 90 days from the date the Seller was notified of such breach. If the Seller fails to cure such breach in all material respects during such period, the Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price. In the event that the Seller shall fail to cure the applicable breach or repurchase a Mortgage Loan in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Depositor shall do so. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Distribution Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of such deposit, shall release or cause the Custodian to release to the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, (provided, however, that in the instruments of transfer or assignment, the Trustee shall represent and warrant to the Originator or the Depositor, as applicable, that the repurchased Mortgage Loan is free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest created by the Trustee and its successors, assigns and transferees), 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 the case may be, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee shall have no 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 Reconstitution Agreement or this Agreement, the Seller or the Depositor, as applicable, may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(c). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller or the Depositor, as applicable, 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 Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

(b)

(i)

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 2.05(a) which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.

(ii)

If the covenant made by the Servicer in Section 2.05(a)(vii) is breached and remains uncured, the Servicer shall pay into the Collection Account the amount of the waived Prepayment Premium. If the Servicer shall fail to make any payment required pursuant to this Section 2.03(b)(ii), either the Trustee or the Seller may enforce such obligation.

(c)

Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected prior to the date that is two years after the Closing Date for the Trust Fund.

As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Originator, the Seller or the Depositor substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Originator, the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, delivering to the Trustee, or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, as applicable, for such Qualified 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 Officers’ Certificate providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Shortfall Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, shall acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter, review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver to the Trustee (if delivered by the Custodian), the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the Trustee or the Custodian shall deliver to the Trustee (if delivered by the Custodian), the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Originator, the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the month of substitution, and the Originator, the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place, and the Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee in an electronic format. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and part of the related Subgroup and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement, including, in the case of a substitution effected by the Originator or the Seller, all applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Agreement, respectively, and in the case of a substitution effected by the Depositor, all applicable representations and warranties thereof set forth in Section 2.04.

For any month in which the Originator, the Seller or the Depositor substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (the “Substitution Shortfall Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Stated Principal Balance thereof 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 P&I Advances and Servicing Advances and any costs and damages actually incurred and paid by or on behalf of the Trust in connection with any violation by such Mortgage Loan of (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.05(b)(vii) or (viii) of this Agreement, (ii) Section 2(a)(viii) of Schedule B to the Reconstitution Agreement or (iii) the representations and warranties made in connection with “high-cost” home loans or any predatory or abusive lending laws in Schedule B to the Reconstitution Agreement, as applicable. On the date of such substitution, which shall be on or prior to the next succeeding Determination Date, the Originator, the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by the Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Originator or the Depositor, as the case may be, the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Originator, the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, shall deliver to it and as shall be reasonably necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

In addition, the Originator, the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on any of the REMICs, 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 date” under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

(d)

Upon discovery by the Depositor, 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 Originator, the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(c), substitute one or more Qualified 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. The Depositor shall cause such repurchase or substitution to be made by (i) the Originator, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Originator under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, (ii) the Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage is a breach of any representation or warranty of the Depositor set forth in Section 2.04, or if its status as a non-qualified mortgage is a breach of any representation or warranty (other than a representation and warranty of the Originator or the Seller) or (iii) the Seller, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage is a breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller set forth in Section 2.05(b)(vii) and (viii), or if its status as a non-qualified mortgage is a breach of any representation or warranty (other than a representation and warranty of the Originator or the Depositor). Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Originator, the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, 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.

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 Fund and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (as determined by the Servicer in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans and Accepted Servicing Practices but without regard to:

(i)

any relationship that the Servicer, any related Sub-Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer or any related 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 P&I Advances or Servicing Advances; or

(iv)

the Servicer’s or any related 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 a Sub-Servicer or Sub-Servicers, as the case may be, as provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in the name of the Trust is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee 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 and the Trust Fund, 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 Fund and Certificateholders. Subject to Section 6.03, the Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it protect its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio with respect to any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable 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. Within fifteen (15) days of the Closing Date, but subject to Section 3.17, the Trustee shall execute 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 hereby grants to the Servicer and each Sub-Servicer a special or limited power of attorney to carry out such duties including a power of attorney for each county in which a related Mortgaged Property is located to enable the Servicer to take title and dispose of the related Mortgaged Properties after foreclosure on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. The Trustee shall execute a separate power of attorney in favor of the Servicer to the extent furnished to the Trustee by 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-Servicer under such powers of attorney.

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 related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the Servicer or by a Sub-Servicer 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 related Mortgage Loan (except as provided in Section 4.03) nor shall the Servicer (i) except as provided in Section 3.07, when the related Mortgagor is in default with respect to such Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable, permit any modification with respect to any related Mortgage Loan that would change the related 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 or (ii) permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any related 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 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 date” under the REMIC Provisions.

The Servicer, in its sole discretion, may, with respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan which is greater than 180 days Delinquent and for which the related First Lien is not a Mortgage Loan, charge off such second lien Mortgage Loan if it has made a Final Recovery Determination with respect thereto (each such Mortgage Loan, a “Charged-off Mortgage Loan”). Any such Charged-off Mortgage Loan shall be treated as a liquidated Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall have no obligation to make any P&I Advances or Servicing Advances with respect to any Charged-off Mortgage Loan and shall not be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to such Charged-off Mortgage Loan for the period following the date on which such second lien Mortgage Loan was charged off. Any Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with any recoveries received with respect to such Charged-off Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10.

In the event that the Mortgage Loan Documents relating to any Mortgage Loan contain provisions requiring the related Mortgagor to submit to binding arbitration any disputes arising in connection with such Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall be entitled to waive any such provisions on behalf of the Trust and to send written notice of such waiver to the related Mortgagor, although the Mortgagor may still require arbitration of such disputes at its option.

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.

SECTION 3.02.

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

(a)

The Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements (provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the ratings on any Class of Certificates, as evidenced by a letter to that effect delivered by each Rating Agency to the Depositor and the Trustee) with one or more Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the related Mortgage Loans. The Trustee 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 mortgage loan originator by the Federal Housing Administration or an institution the deposit accounts in which are insured by the FDIC and (iii) a Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae 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 and provide for servicing of the related Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer will examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement to which the Servicer is a party 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 Sub-Servicer may enter into and make amendments to the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement 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 insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by a Sub-Servicer to the Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Servicer shall deliver to 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.

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer alone, and the Depositor and the Trustee shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to a Sub-Servicer including no obligation, duty or liability of the Depositor or Trustee, to pay a Sub-Servicer’s fees and expenses.

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

(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 Fund and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer servicing the related Mortgage Loans under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of Delinquent payments as required by the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement. 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, as applicable, 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.

The Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of its Sub-Servicer from the Servicer’s own funds without any right of reimbursement from the Depositor, the Trustee, or the Collection Account.

(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall be entitled to outsource one or more separate servicing functions to a Person (each, an “Outsourcer”) that does not meet the eligibility requirements for a Sub-Servicer, so long as such outsourcing does not constitute the delegation of the Servicer’s obligation to perform all or substantially all of the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans to such Outsourcer. In such event, the use by the Servicer of any such Outsourcer shall not release the Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and the Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of such Outsourcer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Servicer, and the Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of the Outsourcer from its own funds.

SECTION 3.03.

Successor Sub-Servicers.

The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to the related 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, 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 (including, without limitation, Section 3.02(c) and the first paragraph of Section 3.18), the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the related 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 the related Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the related 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; provided that no such indemnification shall be an expense of the Trust.

SECTION 3.05.

No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and 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 and Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the related Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section 3.06. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any related Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Servicer’s compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.

SECTION 3.06.

Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by Trustee.

In the event that 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 subject to Section 7.02 under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Servicer may have entered into, unless the Trustee 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 related 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 expense 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 related Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.

SECTION 3.07.

Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

(a)

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 270 days; provided that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above 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 P&I Advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.03 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements, subject to Section 4.03(d) pursuant to which the Servicer shall not be required to make any such P&I Advances that are Nonrecoverable P&I Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a 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 related 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 or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any related Mortgagor.

(b)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Servicer may waive a Prepayment Premium pursuant to the conditions set forth in Section 2.05(a)(vii). With respect to any such waiver of a Prepayment Premium, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the conditions set forth in Section 2.05(a)(vii) have been met with respect to the related Mortgage Loan.

(c)

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Prepayment Premium payable under the terms of the Mortgage Note is less than the amount of the Prepayment Premium set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Prepayment Premium Schedule or other information provided to the Servicer, the Servicer shall not have liability or obligation with respect to such difference, and in addition the Servicer shall not have any liability or obligation to pay the amount of any uncollected Prepayment Premium if the failure to collect such amount is the direct result of inaccurate or incomplete information on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

SECTION 3.08.

Sub-Servicing Accounts.

In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the related Sub-Servicer will be required to establish and maintain one or more accounts (each such account or accounts, a “Sub-Servicing Account”). Each Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account. Each Sub-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 such Sub-Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of the related 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 related Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account. Each Sub-Servicer shall thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the related Sub-Servicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the related Mortgage Loans when the related 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 accounts (each such account or accounts, a “Servicing Account”). The 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 a related Sub-Servicer) 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 related Servicing Accounts, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of good 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 to the Servicer or, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account; (v) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at 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-Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in the 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. The Servicer will be responsible for the administration of the Servicing Accounts and will be obligated to make Servicing Advances to the Servicing Account in respect of its obligations under this Section 3.09, reimbursable from the Servicing Accounts or Collection Account, when and as necessary to avoid the lapse of insurance coverage on the Mortgaged Property, or which the Servicer knows, or in the exercise of the required standard of care of the Servicer hereunder should know, is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien.

SECTION 3.10.

Collection Account and Distribution Account.

(a)

On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more accounts (each such account or accounts, a “Collection Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the related 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 good 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 related Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the related Cut-off Date, or payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the related 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 Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage Loan;

(iii)

all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (other than proceeds collected in respect of any particular REO Property (unless the Servicer has elected to allow the Collection Account to serve as an REO Account pursuant to Section 3.23(b)) and amounts paid by the Servicer in connection with a purchase of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01);

(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;

(vii)

all Substitution Shortfall Amounts; and

(viii)

all Prepayment Premiums collected by the Servicer.

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

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, payments in the nature of late payment charges, non sufficient funds fees, reconveyance fees, assumption fees and other similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment Premiums) 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 Fund, the Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution Account on or before 1:00 p.m. New York time (i) on the Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available Distribution Amount (calculated without regard to the references in clause (2) of 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 Premiums on the Mortgage Loans collected by the Servicer in connection with the voluntary Principal Prepayment in full or in part of any of the Mortgage Loans and any Servicer Prepayment Premium Payment Amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account (other than any such Prepayment Premiums received after the related Prepayment Period), 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 itself, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Seller or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 and shall pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto. If the Servicer fails to remit to the Trustee for distribution to the Certificateholders any payment, including any P&I Advance to be made by the Servicer on the Servicer Remittance Date (without regard to any grace period), the Servicer shall pay to the Trustee, for the account of the Trustee, interest on such late remittance from and including the Servicer Remittance Date to but excluding the date on which such remittance is made, at an annual rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus one percentage point (but in no event greater than the maximum permitted by law).

(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 and the Depositor 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 and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account when established and prior to any change thereof.

(d)

Funds held in a 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 such Collection Account until the Servicer Remittance Date when such amounts are required to be deposited into the Distribution Account; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant to this subsection (d). In the event that 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 such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it 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 in any event shall remit all such amounts no later than the Servicer Remittance Date, and the Trustee shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account:

(i)

any P&I Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.03;

(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 the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01; and

(iv)

any related amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.24 in connection with any Compensating Interest.

SECTION 3.11.

(ii)

subject to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse itself for, without duplication, (a) P&I Advances, but only to the extent of amounts received which represent Late Collections (net of the Servicing Fees) on the Mortgage Loans with respect to which such P&I Advances were made in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03 or (b) any xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances remaining after the Final Recovery Determination of a Mortgage Loan that are Nonrecoverable P&I Advances not otherwise recoverable pursuant to subsection (ii)(a) hereof;

(iii)

subject to Section 3.16(d), to pay itself 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, or other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from a Mortgagor, or otherwise received with respect to such Mortgage Loan or (c) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances made remaining after the Final Recovery Determination of a Mortgage Loan that are Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances, but only to the extent that Late Collections received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Servicer or any related Sub-Servicer for Servicing Advances;

(iv)

to pay itself 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 pursuant to Section 3.12(b);

(v)

to pay itself, the Originator, the Seller or the Depositor, 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), as applicable, all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase or substitution, as the case may be;

(vi)

to reimburse itself (A) for any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance previously made which (I) the Servicer has determined to be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03 or (II) are outstanding at the time a successor Servicer assumes the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer and (B) any unpaid Servicing Fees to the extent not recoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or other amounts received with respect to the related Mortgage Loans under Section 3.11(a)(iii);

(vii)

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

(viii)

to reimburse itself or the Trustee, as the case may be, for expenses reasonably incurred in respect of the breach or defect giving rise to the purchase obligation under Section 2.03 or Section 2.04 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;

(ix)

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

(x)

to withdraw funds deposited in error and to clear and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Section 9.01; and

(xi)

to pay to itself any interest income earned on funds deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.12(b).

The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the 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 on or prior to the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to subclause (vii) above.

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

(i)

(vii)

to clear and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 9.01; and

(viii)

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

SECTION 3.12.

Investment of Funds in the Collection Account, the REO 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, each 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, 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, in each case, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Trustee shall be entitled to sole control (except with respect to investment direction of funds held in 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 an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trustee shall:

(1)

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

(2)

demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination 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 Collection Account and any REO Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer, shall be for the benefit of the Servicer 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 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 the Collection Account or REO Account 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 withdrawal by the Trustee 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 accounts 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(v), 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.

Superior Liens.

Where permitted by local law and where the senior lienholder is required to notify a junior lienholder be named as a party defendant in foreclosure proceedings in order to foreclose such junior lienholder's equity of redemption, the Servicer shall file (or cause to be filed) a request for notice of any action by a superior lienholder under a First Lien for the protection of the Trust interests in the related second lien Mortgage Loan, the expense of which shall constitute a Servicing Advance to the extent not otherwise reimbursed by the Seller. In jurisdictions where the senior lienholder is not required to notify a junior lienholder be named as party defendant in foreclosure proceedings in order to foreclose on such lienholder, the Servicer shall cause the First Lien relating to each second lien Mortgage Loan to be tracked to protect the Trust’s interest in such second lien Mortgage Loan, the expense of which shall constitute a Servicing Advance to the extent not otherwise reimbursed by the Seller.

If the Servicer is notified that any superior lienholder has accelerated or intends to accelerate the obligations secured by the First Lien, or has declared or intends to declare a default under the mortgage or the promissory note secured thereby, or has filed or intends to file an election to have the related Mortgaged Property sold or foreclosed, the Servicer shall take, on behalf of the Trust, whatever actions are necessary to protect the interests of the Trust in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall not make a Servicing Advance with respect thereto except to the extent that it determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such advance would be recoverable from Liquidation Proceeds on the related second lien Mortgage Loan and in no event in an amount that is greater than the then outstanding principal balance of the related second lien Mortgage Loan.

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 related 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 Loan or amounts to be released to the related 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 Loan and related 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. Any insurance premiums not paid by the related Mortgagor and advanced by the Servicer shall constitute a Servicing Advance. 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 that generally would be acceptable under Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac servicing guidelines 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 related 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, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

(b)

The Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the performance of the Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee (upon its 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. Any such errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. The Servicer shall also cause each Sub-Servicer to maintain a comparable policy of insurance covering errors and omissions and a fidelity bond meeting such requirements.

SECTION 3.15.

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

The Servicer will, 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 such Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the applicable Mortgage Note and/or the related 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 it is not in the best interests of the Trust Fund and 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 related Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the related Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer is also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant to which the original related Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note, provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Servicer and such substitution is in the best interests of the Certificateholders, as determined by the Servicer. 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 in 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 an 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 related Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the related Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, that any such substitution, modification or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee or Custodian, as applicable, 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, the Servicer may enforce the due on sale clause, or the assumption and modification, or the substitution if it reasonably believes that it is in the best interest of the Trust Fund.

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 related 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 its commercially 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 (including selling any such Mortgage Loan rather than converting the ownership of the related properties if such sale would maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the related Mortgage Note in accordance with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01) 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 be recoverable as Servicing Advances or Nonrecoverable 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 a 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 Fund, 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 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 a 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 such 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 such affected Mortgaged Property.

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 be deemed 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 be deemed a Servicing Advance.

(c)

The Servicer may, at its option, purchase from the Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property that is 90 days or more Delinquent, which the Servicer 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 Servicer shall purchase any such Mortgage Loans or related REO Properties on the basis of delinquency, purchasing the most Delinquent Mortgage Loans or related REO Properties first. 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 Servicer the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Servicer shall furnish and as shall be necessary to vest in the Servicer title to any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property released pursuant hereto. The Holder of the Class X Certificate may exercise such option if the Servicer declines to do so under the same terms and conditions applicable to the Servicer under this Section 3.16(c).

(d)

Proceeds received (other than the Prepayment Premiums received) in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds, 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 P&I Advances and to pay any unpaid Servicing Fees, pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii) or (a)(iii); second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the related 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 such 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 related 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 Subordinate Certificates (the “Special Servicer”), subject to each Rating Agency’s acknowledgment that the ratings of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to the entering into such agreement would not be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn and the Certificates would not be placed on credit review status (except for possible upgrading) as a result of such agreement. Any such agreement may contain provisions whereby such Special Servicer may (i) purchase delinquent Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund immediately prior to the commencement of foreclosure proceedings at a price equal to the Purchase Price, and/or (ii) 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.

(f)

The Special Servicer, at its option, may (but is not obligated to) purchase from the Trust Fund, (a) any Mortgage Loan that is delinquent in payment 90 or more days or (b) any related Mortgage Loan with respect to which there has been initiated legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the related Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, in each case, provided that the Servicer has the right to transfer the related servicing rights without the payment of any compensation to a Sub-servicer. Any such purchase shall be made by the Special Servicer with its own funds at a price equal to the Purchase Price for such Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Special Servicer for all expenses incurred by it in connection with the transfer of any Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.16(f). The Special Servicer shall notify the Servicer in writing of any purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section 3.16(f).

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 (or the Trustee may, in the event the Servicer does not so act) notify the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, by a certification in the form of Exhibit E-1 (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) signed by a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to the Servicer of the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, shall, within five Business Days, release or cause the release and mailing by overnight mail of the related Mortgage File to the Servicer.

(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 shall, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, if permitted by the related Custodial Agreement, of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E-1, cause the release of the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and the Trustee shall, at the direction of the Servicer, execute such documents 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 such Mortgage File to the Trustee or the Custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the related Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to such Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection Account or the related 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 related Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of such Servicing Officer 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, such Mortgage Loan shall be released by the Trustee or the Custodian to the Servicer or its designee.

(c)

Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents 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 related Mortgage Note or related Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by such 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 the Trustee 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. Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution thereof by the Trustee and delivery thereof by the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the related Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale.

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, condemnation proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds and as otherwise permitted by Section 3.11(a) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23. Except as expressly provided in Sections 6.04 and 7.02 herein, 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 related Servicing Fee any amounts due to a related Sub-Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into under Section 3.02; provided further that the Servicer may assign a portion of its Servicing Fee to an affiliate of the Servicer in connection with the ownership by such affiliate of the servicing rights attributable to the Mortgage Loans (provided that any right, title or interest of such affiliate in such portion of the Servicing Fee shall be subject to termination of the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption or modification fees, late payment charges, insufficient funds fees, reconveyance fees and other ancillary fees (other than Prepayment Premiums) shall be retained by the Servicer (subject to Section 3.24) 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 and Section 3.24. 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 related Sub-Servicer, it being understood however, that payment of such premiums by the Servicer shall constitute Servicing Advances), servicing compensation of any Sub-Servicer and to the extent provided herein in Section 8.05, the indemnification 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 and Other Reporting Obligations.

Not later than thirty days after each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall forward to the Trustee 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(a). 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 and at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to review or reconcile the information in such statements. In addition, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law the Servicer shall provide to the Trustee for purposes of forwarding to the holder of the Residual Certificates, such statement and all other loan level information relating to the Mortgage Loans that the Holder of the Residual Certificates may reasonably request, and that is reasonably available to the Servicer; provided, however, that such request will be at the expense of such Holder of the Residual Certificates.

SECTION 3.20.

Statement as to Compliance.

SECTION 3.21.

Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.

Not later than the earlier of (a) March 15 of each calendar year (other than the calendar year during which the Closing Date occurs) or (b) with respect to any calendar year during which the Depositor’s annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed pursuant to Section 4.06(b), 15 calendar days before each date on which the Depositor’s annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Depositor, the Trustee and each Rating Agency a report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation regarding certain matters from the management of the Servicer which includes an assertion that the Servicer has complied with certain minimum residential mortgage loan servicing standards, identified in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of America, with respect to the servicing of residential mortgage loans during the most recently completed calendar year and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, such representation is fairly stated in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications that may be appropriate. In rendering its report such firm may rely, as to matters relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage loans by a Sub-Servicer, upon comparable reports of firms of independent certified public accountants rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in accordance with the same standards (rendered within one year of such report) with respect to such Sub-Servicer. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request at the requesting party’s expense, provided that such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee. In the event such firm of independent certified public accountants requires the Trustee to agree to the procedures performed by such firm, the Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Trustee will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Servicer, and the Trustee has not made any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such procedures.

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 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. Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. Nothing in this Section 3.22 shall require the Servicer to collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information that it does not generate in its usual course of business. The Servicer shall not be required to make copies of or ship documents to any party unless provisions have been made for the reimbursement of the costs thereof.

SECTION 3.23.

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, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, subject to applicable laws. The Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund (and on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders), shall either sell any REO Property before the close of the third taxable year after the year the Trust Fund 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 and the Depositor an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to three years after its acquisition will not result in the imposition on any REMIC created hereunder of taxes on “prohibited transactions” thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. 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 REMIC created hereunder 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 Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (the “REO Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account. The Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection Account to serve as an REO Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO Property. The Servicer shall be entitled to 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, operate and dispose of 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 it owned such REO Property and if in the Servicer’s sole judgment, the payment of such amounts will be recoverable from the rental or sale of such REO Property.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer and the Trustee shall not:

(i)

authorize the Trust Fund 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 the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of 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 Fund;

unless, in any such case, the Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel, provided to 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 the Trust Fund, 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 P&I 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 such 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 1:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds an amount (such amount, “Compensating Interest”) equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the related Determination Date resulting solely from Principal Prepayments in full or in part for any Mortgage Loan during the related Prepayment Period and (ii) the aggregate Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date. The Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for any amounts remitted to the Trustee in respect of Compensating Interest. Such amounts remitted shall be included in the Available Distribution Amount and distributed therewith on the related Distribution Date. The Servicer shall not be obligated to pay Compensating Interest with respect to Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.

SECTION 3.25.

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

On each Adjustment Date, the Servicer shall make Mortgage Rate adjustments for each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan in compliance with the requirements of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note and Applicable Regulations. The Servicer shall execute and deliver the notices required by each Mortgage and Mortgage Note and Applicable Regulations regarding Mortgage Rate adjustments. The Servicer shall maintain all data and information regarding such Mortgage Rate adjustments and the Servicer’s methods of implementing such Mortgage Rate adjustments and shall provide such information to the Trustee upon request.

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 Fund, 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; provided that any expenses in connection with pursuing such recovery shall not be an expense of the Trust.

SECTION 3.26.

Net WAC Reserve Fund; Yield Maintenance Agreements.

(a)

On the Closing Date, the Depositor will deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the Net WAC Reserve Fund, $1,000. On each Distribution Date as to which there is Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount for any Class of LIBOR Certificates, the Trustee is hereby directed to, and shall therefore, deposit into the Net WAC Reserve Fund an amount equal to the Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount for each affected Class of LIBOR Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(3)(xxvi). If no Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount is payable on a Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit into the Net WAC Reserve Fund the Required Net WAC Reserve Fund Deposit. For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class X Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the Net WAC Reserve Fund and all amounts deposited into the Net WAC Reserve Fund. Any monies held in the Net WAC Reserve Fund in excess of the Required Net WAC Reserve Fund Deposit on any Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Class X Certificateholders. Amounts held in the Net WAC Reserve Fund and not distributed on any Distribution Date will be invested by the Trustee in investments identified in clause (f) of the definition of Permitted Investments having maturities on or prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date. All income and gain earned upon such investment shall be deposited into the Net WAC Reserve Fund. Upon the termination of the Trust Fund, or the payment in full of the LIBOR Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Reserve Fund will be distributed to the Class X Certificateholders or their designees. The Net WAC Reserve Fund will be part of the Trust Fund but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the LIBOR Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts with respect to any Class of LIBOR Certificates will not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). For federal tax return and information reporting, the right to receive any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount shall be assigned the value specified in Section 10.01(l) of this Agreement.

(b)

The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Trust the Yield Maintenance Agreements and authorizes the Trustee to perform its obligations thereunder on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the terms of each Yield Maintenance Agreement. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall enter into the Yield Maintenance Agreements, on behalf of the Trust, with the Counterparty. The Yield Maintenance Agreements shall be part of the Trust Fund but not part of any REMIC. The Trustee shall deposit all amounts received with respect to the Yield Maintenance Agreements in the Net WAC Reserve Fund. On each Distribution Date, to the extent required following the distribution of the Available Distribution Amount pursuant to Section 4.01 of this Agreement, the Trustee will withdraw from amounts in the Net WAC Reserve Fund to pay the LIBOR Certificates any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts in the following order of priority, in each case to the extent of amounts remaining in the Net WAC Reserve Fund:

(i)

from amounts paid under the Yield Maintenance Agreements, as follows:

(a)

from and to the extent of amounts in respect of the Subgroup 1 Yield Maintenance Agreement, pro rata, to the Class A1 and Class A1A Certificates, any related unpaid Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts for such classes,

(b)

from and to the extent of amounts in respect of the Subgroup 2 Yield Maintenance Agreement, pro rata, to the Class A2 and Class A2A Certificates, any related unpaid Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts for such classes,

(c)

from and to the extent of amounts in respect of the Subgroup 3 Yield Maintenance Agreement, pro rata, to the Class A3 and Class A3A Certificates, any related unpaid Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts for such classes, and

(d)

from and to the extent of amounts in respect of the Subordinate Yield Maintenance Agreement, sequentially, to the Class M1 Certificates, the Class M2 Certificates, the Class M3 Certificates, the Class M4 Certificates, the Class M5 Certificates, the Class M6 Certificates and the Class M7 Certificates, in that order, any related unpaid Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts for such classes,

(ii)

from and to the extent of amounts remaining in the Net WAC Reserve Fund on such Distribution Date after giving effect to the distributions in Section 3.26(b)(i) above, as follows:

(a)

to the Class A Certificates, pro rata, any remaining unpaid Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount, and

(b)

sequentially, to the Class M1 Certificates, the Class M2 Certificates, the Class M3 Certificates, the Class M4 Certificates, the Class M5 Certificates, the Class M6 Certificates and the Class M7 Certificates, in that order, any related remaining unpaid Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount.

(c)

If any payments are owed to the Counterparty, the Depositor shall direct the Trustee to request and the Trustee shall request the Counterparty to furnish IRS Form W-8ECI to the Trustee or other documentary evidence necessary to establish that no withholding is required under the Code.

(d)

If the Counterparty no longer has a long-term credit rating of at least A (or its equivalent) from at least one of the Rating Agencies (a “Counterparty Rating Agency Downgrade”), the Counterparty, shall, no later than the 30th day following the Counterparty Rating Agency Downgrade, at the Counterparty’s expense: (i) obtain a replacement yield maintenance agreement for the related Yield Maintenance Agreement with terms comparable to that of the replaced Yield Maintenance Agreement and with a counterparty that is a bank or other financial institution that has a rating that is in one of the three highest long-term credit rating categories from at least one of the Rating Agencies rating the Certificates; (ii) obtain a guaranty of or a contingent agreement of another person with a long-term credit rating of at least A (or its equivalent) from at least one of the Rating Agencies to honor the Counterparty’s obligations under the related Yield Maintenance Agreement; (iii) cause the Counterparty to post xxxx-to-market collateral with the Trustee in an amount sufficient to restore the immediately prior ratings of the Offered Certificates; (iv) establish any other arrangement satisfactory to the Rating Agencies to restore the ratings of the Offered Certificates; or (v) terminate the related Yield Maintenance Agreement in accordance with its terms.

(e)

Notwithstanding anything in subsection (b) of Section 3.26 to the contrary, for any Distribution Date on which there is a payment under a Yield Maintenance Agreement based on a notional balance in excess of the aggregate Class Certificate Balance of the LIBOR Certificates, the amount representing such excess payment shall not be an asset of the Trust Fund and, instead, shall be paid into and distributed out of a separate trust created by this Agreement for the benefit of the Class X Certificates and shall be distributed to the Class X Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(3)(xxviii).

SECTION 3.27.

[Reserved].

SECTION 3.28.

Advance Facility.

(a)

The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or other facility (any such arrangement, an “Advance Facility”) under which (1) the Servicer assigns or pledges to another Person (an “Advancing Person”) the Servicer’s rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any P&I Advances or Servicing Advances and/or (2) an Advancing Person agrees to fund some or all P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to be made by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of the Trustee, Certificateholders or any other party is required before the Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility; provided, however, that the consent of the Trustee shall be required before the Servicer may cause to be outstanding at one time more than one Advance Facility with respect to P&I Advances or more than one Advance Facility with respect to Servicing Advances. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which an Advancing Person agrees to fund P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances on the Servicer’s behalf, the Servicer shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make P&I Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement, and shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue of such Advance Facility. If the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, and for so long as an Advancing Person remains entitled to receive reimbursement for any P&I Advances or Servicing Advances outstanding and previously unreimbursed pursuant to this Agreement, then the Servicer may elect by providing written notice to the Trustee not to be permitted to reimburse itself for P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances, as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.11(a) of this Agreement, but following any such election, the Servicer shall be required to include amounts collected that would otherwise be retained by the Servicer to reimburse it for previously xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances (“P&I Advance Reimbursement Amounts”) and/or previously unreimbursed Servicing Advances (“Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts” and together with P&I Advance Reimbursement Amounts, “Advance Reimbursement Amounts”) (in each case to the extent such type of Advance Reimbursement Amount is included in the Advance Facility) in the remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to this Agreement to the extent of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on the Servicer Remittance Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall P&I Advance Reimbursement Amounts or Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts be included in Interest Remittance Amounts or Principal Remittance Amounts or distributed to Certificateholders. The Servicer making the election set forth herein shall report to the Trustee the portions of the Advance Reimbursement Amounts that consist of P&I Advance Reimbursement Amounts and Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts, respectively.

(b)

If the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility and makes the election set forth in Section 3.28(a), the Servicer and the related Advancing Person shall deliver to the Trustee a written notice and payment instruction (an “Advance Facility Notice”), providing the Trustee with written payment instructions as to where to remit P&I Advance Reimbursement Amounts and/or Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts (each to the extent such type of Advance Reimbursement Amount is included within the Advance Facility) on subsequent Distribution Dates. The payment instruction shall require the applicable Advance Reimbursement Amounts to be distributed to the Advancing Person or to a trustee or custodian (an “Advance Facility Trustee”) designated in the Advance Facility Notice. An Advance Facility Notice may only be terminated by the joint written direction of the Servicer and the related Advancing Person (and any related Advance Facility Trustee); provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 3.28 shall cease to be applicable when all P&I Advances and Servicing Advances funded by an Advancing Person, and when all P&I Advances and Servicing Advances (the rights to be reimbursed for which have been assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person), have been repaid to the related Advancing Person in full. Under no circumstances shall the Advancing Person have the right to withdraw funds directly from the Collection Account.

(c)

Advance Reimbursement Amounts shall consist solely of amounts in respect of P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances made with respect to the Mortgage Loans for which the Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with Section 3.11(a)(ii), (iii), (vi) and (ix) hereof, assuming the Servicer had made the related P&I Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing (subject to Section 3.28(a) above), no Advancing Person shall be entitled to reimbursement from funds held in the Collection Account for future distribution to Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.03. The Trustee shall not have any duty or liability with respect to the calculation of any Advance Reimbursement Amount and shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation on the Advance Facility Notice and on the Servicer’s report of the amount of P&I Advance Reimbursement Amounts and Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts that were included in the remittance from the Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(i). The Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor Servicer a detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advancing Person. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by the predecessor Servicer, and the successor Servicer shall not be liable for any errors in such information.

(d)

An Advancing Person who receives an assignment or pledge of the rights to be reimbursed for P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances, and/or whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the criteria for qualification of a Sub-Servicer set forth in Section 3.02 hereof.

(e)

With respect to any Advance Facility pursuant to which the Servicer has made the election set forth in Section 3.28(a), the documentation establishing any Advance Facility shall require that Advance Reimbursement Amounts distributed with respect to each Mortgage Loan be allocated to outstanding xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances or Servicing Advances (as the case may be) made with respect to that Mortgage Loan on a “first-in, first-out” (FIFO) basis. Such documentation shall also require the electing Servicer to provide to the related Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee loan-by-loan information with respect to each Advance Reimbursement Amount distributed by the Trustee to such Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee on each Distribution Date, to enable the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee to make the FIFO allocation of each Advance Reimbursement Amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee for all P&I Advances and Servicing Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the related rights to be reimbursed therefor have not been assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person.

(f)

The Servicer who enters into an Advance Facility shall indemnify the Trustee, the Trust and any successor Servicer, as applicable, from and against any claims, losses, liabilities or damages resulting from any claim by the Advancing Person relating to the Advance Facility, except to the extent that such claim, loss, liability or damage resulted from or arose out of negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee or the successor Servicer.

(g)

Any amendment to this Section 3.28 or to any other provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.28, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee, the Seller and the Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.01 of or elsewhere in this Agreement.

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 the Depositor 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(e).

(f)

Reductions in the Subgroup 1, Subgroup 2 and Subgroup 3 Interest Remittance Amounts will be applied to the Class A1 and Class A1A Certificates, Class A2 and Class A2A Certificates, and Class A3 and Class A3A Certificates, respectively, pro rata, based on the amount of interest due to each such class.

The information described in the two preceding sentences that is to be supplied by the Servicer shall be evidenced by a written report delivered to the Trustee by the Servicer no later than four (4) Business Days prior to each Distribution Date immediately following the end of (x) in the case of Bankruptcy Losses allocable to interest, the Due Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred, and (y) 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 aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the LIBOR Certificates exceeds the Aggregate Collateral Balance on such date, the amount of such excess shall be allocated by the Trustee on such Distribution Date as follows: (i) first, to the Class M7 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; second, to the Class M6 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; third, to the Class M5 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M4 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Class M3 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Class M2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and seventh, to the Class M1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and (ii) after the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Mezzanine Certificates is reduced to zero, if the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A1 and Class A1A Certificates exceeds the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Subgroup 1 Mortgage Loans, then the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A1A Certificates will be reduced by the amount equal to such excess; likewise, if the Class A2 and Class A2A Certificates exceeds the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Subgroup 2 Mortgage Loans, then the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A2A Certificates will be reduced by the amount equal to such excess.

(c)

Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine, Class A1A and Class A2A Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. All Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Certificates hereunder will be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.

(d)

With respect to any Class of Certificates to which an Applied Loss Amount has been allocated (including any such Class for which the related Certificate Principal Balance has been reduced to zero), the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class will be increased on each Distribution Date by the amount of related Recoveries for such Distribution Date, beginning with the Class A1A Certificates (in the case of any Recovery relating to a Subgroup 1 Mortgage Loan) and Class A2A Certificates (in the case of any Recovery relating to a Subgroup 2 Mortgage Loan) and then to the Class of Mezzanine Certificates with the highest relative payment priority, up to the amount of the Allocated Realized Loss Amount for that Class. Any increase in a Certificate Principal Balance on a Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 4.04(d) shall be made prior to giving effect to distributions on that Distribution Date.

SECTION 4.05.

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 4.06.

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 Exchange Act. The Trustee shall prepare on behalf of the Trust any Forms 8-K and 10-K customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (which shall not include the Form 8-K filed in connection with the filing of this Agreement), and the Depositor shall sign and the Trustee shall file (via XXXXX) such Forms on behalf of the Depositor. The Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of attorney to execute and file each such document on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trustee from the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust.

(b)

Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 15 days after each Distribution Date, with a copy of the statement to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to March 31st of the calendar year following the calendar year during which the Closing Date occurs (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission), the Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or applicable Commission staff’s interpretations. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the Servicer’s annual statement of compliance described under Section 3.20 and the accountant’s report described under Section 3.21, in each case to the extent they have been timely delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure to properly or timely prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Trustee’s inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence or willful misconduct. The Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the “Depositor Certification”), which shall be signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of securitization.

(c)

Not later than 15 calendar days before the date on which the Depositor’s annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), the Trustee shall sign a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Trustee Certification”) for the benefit of the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of items 1 through 3 of the Depositor Certification. In addition, the Trustee shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 8.01 and 8.02 hereof, indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Servicer and each Person, if any, who “controls” the Depositor and the Servicer within the meaning of the 1933 Act and their officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the Trustee’s obligations under this Section 4.06 or any inaccuracy made in the Trustee Certification. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.06(c) is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless such Persons, then the Trustee shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Persons as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of such Persons in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor or the Servicer on the one hand and the Trustee on the other. The Trustee acknowledges that the Depositor is relying on the Trustee’s performance of its obligations under this Section 4.06 in order to perform its obligations under Section 4.06(b).

(d)

Not later than 15 calendar days before the date on which the Depositor’s annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission each Servicer will deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate for the prior calendar year in substantially the form of Exhibit J (the “Servicer Certification”) to this Agreement. The Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Depositor, the Trustee and each Person, if any, who “controls” the Depositor or the Trustee within the meaning of the 1933 Act and their respective officers and directors against any and all losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, fees and expenses that such Person may sustain arising out of third party claims based on (i) the failure of the Servicer to deliver or cause to be delivered when required any Officer’s Certificate required pursuant to this Section 4.06(d), or (ii) any material misstatement or omission contained in the Servicer Certification provided pursuant to this Section 4.06(d). If an event occurs that would otherwise result in an indemnification obligation under clauses (i) or (ii) above, but the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.06(d) by the Servicer is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless such Persons, then the Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Persons as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of such Persons in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor or Trustee on the one hand and the Servicer on the other. The Servicer acknowledges that the Depositor and the Trustee are relying on the Servicer’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement in order to perform their respective obligations under this Section 4.06.

(e)

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

(f)

If the Commission issues additional interpretative guidance or promulgates additional rules or regulations, or if other changes in applicable law occur, that would require the reporting arrangements, or the allocation of responsibilities with respect thereto, described in this Section 4.06, to be conducted differently than as described, the Depositor, the Seller, Servicer and Trustee will reasonably cooperate to amend the provisions of this Section 4.06 in order to comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment of this Section 4.06. Any such amendment shall be made in accordance with Section 11.01 without further consent of the Certificateholders, and may result in the reduction of the reports filed by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositor, the Seller, Servicer and Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section 4.06 that adversely affects its obligations and immunities under this Agreement.

(g)

In filing any Form 8-K or Form 10-K, the Trustee shall not undertake any analysis of, and shall have no responsibility for, any financial information, accountant’s report, certification or other matter contained therein, except for computations performed by the Trustee and reflected in distribution reports. Nothing in this Section 4.06(g) shall relieve the Trustee of its responsibility for the matters as to which it is certifying in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I.

(h)

Prior to January 31st of the first year in which the Trustee is able to do so under applicable law, the Trustee shall file a Form 15D Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust

SECTION 4.07.

Early Termination Fund.

(a)

On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain in its name, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Class X Certificates, the Early Termination Fund. The Early Termination Fund shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including without limitation, other moneys held by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)

On the Closing Date, $1,000 will be deposited by the Depositor into the Early Termination Fund. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall transfer from the Distribution Account to the Early Termination Fund pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(3)(xxix) any amount required to be deposited therein. Amounts on deposit in the Early Termination Fund can be withdrawn by the Trustee and paid to the Counterparty to the extent of any Termination Payments or Carryover Termination Payments owed by the Trust to the Counterparty resulting solely from a default of the Trust under a Yield Maintenance Agreement where the Trust is the sole affected party or the defaulting party.

(c)

Funds in the Early Termination Fund may be invested in Permitted Investments by the Trustee at the direction of the holders of the Class X Certificates maturing on or prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date. Any net investment earnings on such amounts shall be payable to the holders of the Class X Certificates. The Trustee shall account for the Early Termination Fund as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury regulation 1.860G-2(h) and not an asset of any REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement. The Class X Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Early Termination Fund for federal tax purposes and the Holders thereof shall direct the Trustee in writing as to the investment of amounts therein. The Trustee shall treat amounts transferred by Master REMIC to the Early Termination Fund as distributions to the Class X Certificateholder for all Federal tax purposes. In the absence of such written direction, all funds in the Early Termination Fund shall remain uninvested. The Trustee shall have no liability for losses on investments in Permitted Investments made pursuant to the Section 4.07(c) (other than as obligor on such investments). Upon termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts remaining in the Early Termination Fund shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class X Certificates.

(d)

On the Distribution Date immediately after the Distribution Date on which all of the Yield Maintenance Agreements are terminated, any amounts on deposit in the Early Termination Fund not payable to the Counterparty shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class X Certificates.

ARTICLE V

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 of each Class will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits X-0, X-0 and A-5 through A-10 and will be issuable in registered form only. Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the related Class.

The LIBOR Certificates are issuable only in minimum denominations corresponding to minimum initial Certificate Principal Balances of $25,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Class P Certificates are issuable only in minimum denominations corresponding to minimum initial Certificate Principal Balances of $20 and integral multiples of $20 thereof. The Class X Certificates are issuable only in minimum denominations corresponding to a minimum initial Notional Amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Class B-IO Certificates are issuable only in minimum denominations corresponding to the respective minimal initial Notional Amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Residual Certificates are issuable in minimum denominations corresponding to minimum Percentage Interests of 20% and multiples thereof.

Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed and delivered by the Trustee and the Trustee shall cause the Certificates to be authenticated by the Certificate Registrar 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 Certificate Registrar 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 such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository that agrees to hold such Book-Entry Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in and to such 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, the Trustee (if the Trustee is not the Book-Entry Custodian) 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, the 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 Servicer 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 exercising 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. 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 Depository advises the Trustee in writing that it is no longer willing, qualified or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, with the consent of the applicable Depository Participant, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates at their option advise the Trustee and DTC in writing that they elect to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (iii) the Depositor, with the consent of the applicable Depository Participant, elects to terminate a book entry System through DTC, 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 Seller, the Servicer or the 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.

SECTION 5.02.

Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a)

The Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies to be appointed by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.12 a Certificate Register for the Certificates in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee will initially serve as Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer and the Depositor, any other bank or trust company to act as Certificate Registrar under such conditions as the predecessor Certificate Registrar may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment. If the Trustee shall at any time not be the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee shall have and maintain the right to inspect the Certificate Register or to obtain a copy thereof at all reasonable times, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of the Certificate Registrar as to the information set forth in the Certificate Register.

(b)

No transfer of any Non-Offered Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of a Non-Offered Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification (other than in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to the Seller or by the Seller to an affiliate of the Seller or to a trust, the depositor of which is an affiliate of the Seller), the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall each require receipt of: either (i) written certifications from the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit F-1 or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Certificate Registrar or the Trust Fund). None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Non-Offered Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other securities laws or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer of a Private Certificate shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Seller, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

(c)

(i) No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit G, as applicable, either (i) a certification letter from the transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not a Plan or a person using the assets of any such Plan, which representation letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, (ii) if the purchaser is an insurance company and the Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, a representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) in the case of any such Certificate presented for registration in the name of a Plan or a person acting on behalf of any such Plan, or using such Plan’s assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Certificate will not result in prohibited transactions under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee or the Servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of such parties or the Trust Fund. In the event the representations referred to in the preceding sentence are not furnished, such representations shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the transferee’s acceptance of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate, or by any beneficial owner who purchases an interest in such Certificate in book-entry form. In the event that a representation is violated, or any attempt to transfer an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to a Plan, or a person using a Plan’s assets is attempted without the delivery to the trustee of the opinion of counsel described above, the attempted transfer or acquisition of such Certificate shall be void and of no effect. Neither an Opinion of Counsel nor any certification will be required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof shall be deemed to have represented that such affiliate is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets) and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Trustee, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.

(ii)

[Reserved]

(iii)

If any Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of Section 5.02(c)(i), the next preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any such Certificate or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Underwriter and the Trust Fund from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by those parties as a result of that acquisition or holding.

(d)

(i) 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 authorized the Trustee or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

(A)

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.

(B)

In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Trustee shall require delivery to it and shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate until its receipt of an affidavit and agreement (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2 from the proposed Transferee, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, 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 that is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 5.02(d) and agrees to be bound by them.

(C)

Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee who is assigned to this transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.

(D)

Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2) from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it provides a Transferor Affidavit (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2) to the Trustee stating that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted Transferee.

(E)

Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the Trustee written notice that it is a “pass-through interest holder” within the meaning of temporary Treasury regulation Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, if it is, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf of, a “pass-through interest holder.”

(ii)

The Trustee will register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement and all of such other documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Trustee as a condition to such registration. In addition, no Transfer of a Residual Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received a representation letter from the Transferee of such Certificate to the effect that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee.

(iii)

(A) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(d), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights as holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(d) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such holder under the provisions of this Agreement.

(B)

If any purported Transferee shall become a holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02(d) and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the holder of such Residual Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Trustee shall have the right, without notice to the holder or any prior holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell such Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Trustee on such terms as the Trustee may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Trustee. Such purchaser may be the Trustee itself or any Affiliate of the Trustee. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Trustee or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Trustee to such purported Transferee. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

(iv)

The Trustee shall make available to the Internal Revenue Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including the information described in Treasury regulations sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the “excess inclusions” of such Residual Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate having as among its record holders at any time any Person which is a Disqualified Organization. Such information shall be provided by the Trustee upon receipt of reasonable compensation.

(v)

The provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to this subsection (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar at the expense of the party seeking to modify, add to or eliminate any such provision the following:

(A)

written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect that the modification, addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates; and

(B)

an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, to the effect that such modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause any REMIC created hereunder to cease to qualify as a REMIC and will not cause any REMIC created hereunder, as the case may be, to be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee or (y) a Person other than the prospective transferee to be subject to a REMIC-tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.

(e)

Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12, the Trustee shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall 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 and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver the Certificates that 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 and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, or the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual knowledge by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and of like denomination 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 Certificate Registrar) connected therewith.

ARTICLE VI

THE DEPOSITOR AND THE SERVICER

SECTION 6.01.

Liability of the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer.

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

SECTION 6.02.

Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer.

Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor and the Seller 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 State of California and its qualification as an approved conventional seller/servicer for Xxxxxx Xxx or servicer for Xxxxxxx Mac in good standing. The Depositor, the Seller 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, the Seller 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, the Seller or the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor, the Seller 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 a servicer of Mortgage Loans on behalf of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac and shall otherwise meet the requirements of a successor servicer set forth in Section 7.02.

SECTION 6.03.

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

None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Seller 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 Seller, 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, the Seller or Depositor 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 Seller, the Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller 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 Seller, the Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund 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 (i) in the case of the Servicer, relating to the Servicer’s failure to service any Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement, unless such loss, liability or expense is otherwise reimburseable pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) 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. The Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer shall not 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, the Seller 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, the Seller 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 or perform their respective rights or obligations under this Agreement 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 Fund, and the Depositor, the Seller 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 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 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 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 Depositor and/or the Trust Fund in respect of such claim. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the payment of the outstanding Certificates. Any payment hereunder made by the Servicer to the Trustee shall be from the Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust Fund.

SECTION 6.04.

Limitation on Resignation of the 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 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 the Offered Certificates. 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 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 and in Section 3.18 and Section 3.28, 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 Seller 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 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 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 or is deemed confidential by the Servicer, the Depositor 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 Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in either case, the Depositor or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall each use its best efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public information. Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. Nothing in this Section 6.05 shall require the Servicer to collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information that it does not generate in its usual course of business. The Servicer shall not be required to make copies of or ship documents to any party unless provisions have been made for the reimbursement of the costs thereof.

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.

SECTION 7.01.

Servicer Events of Default.

(a)

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

(i)

any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Trustee any payment or deposit required pursuant to this Agreement (other than a P&I Advance required to be made from its own funds on any Servicer Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.03) that 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 received by the Servicer from the Depositor or the Trustee, or received by the Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by 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 this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of 45 days after the earlier of (x) the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been received by the Servicer from the Depositor or the Trustee, or received by the Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights and (y) actual knowledge of such failure by a Servicing Officer 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, including bankruptcy, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and 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, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to it or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(v)

the 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, bankruptcy or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

(vi)

any failure by the Servicer of the Servicer Termination Test;

(vii)

any failure of the Servicer to make or cause an Advancing Person to make any P&I Advance on the Servicer Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds pursuant to Section 4.03 which continues unremedied until 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Business Day immediately following the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, has been given to the Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee (in which case notice shall be provided by telecopy).

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 a Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or the Trustee may and, at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to 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 the 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, the Seller and the Depositor terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer in its capacity as the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof.

(b)

[Reserved].

(c)

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. 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 the Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a 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 defaulting Servicer (or by the Trust Fund if such Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all reasonable out-of-pocket or third party costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the Trustee, from the Servicer immediately preceding the Trustee), including without limitation, any reasonable out-of-pocket or third party costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the 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, upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.

Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any Late Collection of a Monthly Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to the notice terminating such Servicer’s rights and obligations as Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion thereof to which such Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to Section 3.11, and any other amounts payable to such Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its activities hereunder in accordance with Section 3.11 and in the time period specified in Section 3.11. The Servicer shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any termination hereunder with respect to events occurring prior to such termination.

SECTION 7.02.

Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

On and after the date on which the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, subject to the terms of this Section 7.02, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as the 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 placed on the Servicer (except for any representations or warranties of the Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in Section 2.03(b) 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 P&I Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; 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 P&I Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; 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 from the date on which the Servicer receives such notice of termination) before the servicing transfer is fully effected, during which time the terminated Servicer shall continue all servicing (other than making any required P&I Advance, which the Trustee shall be required to do, subject to the limitations of this sentence) of the Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding the above, subject to the other provisions of this Section 7.02, the Trustee 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 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 a successor Servicer meeting the requirements described below.

As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee 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.

Any successor Servicer appointed under this Agreement must (i) be an established mortgage loan servicing institution that is a Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac approved seller/servicer, (ii) be approved by each Rating Agency by a written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the appointment of such successor Servicer would not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current ratings of any outstanding Class of Certificates, (iii) have a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and (iv) assume all the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer (other than liabilities of the Servicer hereunder incurred prior to termination of the Servicer under Section 7.01 herein) under this Agreement as if originally named as a party to 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 (other than liabilities of the Servicer hereunder incurred prior to termination of the Servicer under Section 7.01 herein) hereunder.

In connection with such appointment and assumption of a successor Servicer as 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 defaulting Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.

Upon removal or resignation of the Servicer, the Trustee, with the cooperation of the Depositor, (x) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to 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 may solicit bids from housing and home finance institutions, banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting the qualifications set forth above (including the Trustee or any Affiliate thereof). Such 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. 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 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 defaulting Servicer at the time of such sale.

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.

(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 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 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. 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

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 8.01.

Duties of Trustee.

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Default that 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, 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 it that 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 its satisfaction, it will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders.

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

(i)

Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, 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, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the 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 it that conform to the requirements of this Agreement;

(ii)

The Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(iii)

The Trustee shall not 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 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 the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement.

SECTION 8.02.

Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.

(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, Officers’ 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;

(ii)

The 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)

The Trustee shall not 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 Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to it 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;

(iv)

The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

(v)

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register.

SECTION 8.10.

Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located, the Servicer and the Trustee, acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case a Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.

In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the defaulting Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.

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

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

The appointment of any Custodian may at any time be terminated and a substitute Custodian shall be appointed upon the reasonable request of the Servicer to the Trustee, the consent to which shall not be unreasonably withheld. All fees and expenses of the Custodian shall be paid in accordance with the related Custodial Agreement. The Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each Custodial Agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders having an interest in any Mortgage File held by such Custodian. Each Custodian shall be a depository institution or trust company subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 and shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File. In no event shall the appointment of any Custodian pursuant to a Custodial Agreement diminish the obligations of the Trustee hereunder.

SECTION 8.12.

Appointment of Office or Agency.

The Trustee designates its office at Xxxxx Xxxxxx xxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Corporate Trust Services/Asset-Backed Administration, as the location at which the Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and presented for final distribution.

(f)

The Trustee shall take such action and shall cause each 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 REMIC created hereunder 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 as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) 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 has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (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 REMIC created hereunder, 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. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC created hereunder or the respective assets of each, or causing any REMIC created hereunder 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 any REMIC created hereunder, and the Servicer shall not take any such action or cause any REMIC created hereunder to take 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 each REMIC created hereunder 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)

In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to any such REMIC after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or 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 otherwise (iii) against amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.

(h)

On or before April 15th of each calendar year (other than the calendar year during which the Closing Date occurs), the Trustee shall deliver to the Servicer, each Rating Agency and the Counterparty an Officer’s Certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Trustee stating, without regard to any actions taken by any party other than the Trustee, 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 REMIC created hereunder 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 REMIC created hereunder other than in connection with any Qualified 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 the related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject such 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 REMIC created hereunder will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit any such 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. As discussed above, for federal income tax purposes any payments to the Counterparty under the Yield Maintenance Agreements will be treated as a payment to the Class X Certificateholders of the Aggregate Strip Amount and a payment from the holder of said certificate to the Counterparty.

(l)

The Trustee shall treat the Net WAC Reserve Fund as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h) that is owned by the Class X Certificateholders and that is not an asset of any REMIC. The Trustee shall treat the rights of the Holders of the LIBOR Certificates to receive payments from the Net WAC Reserve Fund as rights in an interest rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholder in favor of the other Certificateholders. Thus, each Certificate other than the Class R, Class B-IO, Aggregate Strip Amount and Class P Certificates shall be treated as representing ownership of not only Regular Interests in the Master REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in an interest rate cap contract. For purposes of determining the issue price of the Regular Interests in the Master REMIC, the Trustee shall assume that the interest rate cap contract has a value of $10,000 as of the Closing Date and shall allocate such value proportionately to each Class of Certificates entitled to receive Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts based on such Class’s initial Certificate Principal Balance.

(m)

The Trustee shall apply for an Employee Identification Number from the IRS via a Form SS-4 or any other applicable method for all tax entities and will also file a Form 8811.

SECTION 10.02.

Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

None of the Depositor, the Servicer or the 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 the Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of the Trust Fund 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 REMIC created hereunder (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 REMIC created hereunder after the Closing Date (other than a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03), unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (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) that such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any of any REMIC Regular Interest created hereunder as a REMIC or (b) cause any REMIC Regular Interest created hereunder to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

SECTION 10.03.

Servicer and Trustee Indemnification.

(a)

The Trustee agrees to indemnify, severally and not jointly, the Trust Fund, 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 Depositor or the Servicer, as a result of a breach of its respective covenants set forth in this Article X.

(b)

The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, 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 Depositor or the Trustee, as a result of a breach of the Servicer’s covenants set forth in Article III or this Article X.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

SECTION 11.01.

Amendment.

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee, and if necessary, with the consent of the Counterparty (as described below), but without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or defect, (ii) to correct, modify or supplement any provisions herein (including to give effect to the expectations of Certificateholders), (iii) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or desirable to maintain the qualification of the Trust Fund as a REMIC at all times that any Certificate is outstanding or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund pursuant to the Code that would be a claim against the Trust Fund, provided that the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (A) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (B) such action will not adversely affect the status of the Trust Fund as a REMIC or adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder, or (iv) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement; provided that such action shall not, as evidenced by either (i) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or (ii) delivery to the Trustee of a letter from each Rating Agency confirming the then-current ratings of the Offered Certificates. 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 may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Counterparty (if necessary, as described below), and 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 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. 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.

In addition to the provisions of this Section 11.01 and as long as the Counterparty remains the Counterparty under any Yield Maintenance Agreement or is owed any amounts under this Agreement, the consent of the Counterparty shall be necessary for the adoption of any proposed amendment of this Agreement that, as determined in the Counterparty’s sole discretion, materially affects the Counterparty’s rights under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the right to receive any Aggregate Strip Amount and Termination Payment due and owing to it under this Agreement; provided that any such consent of the Counterparty shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment will not result in the imposition of any federal income tax on any REMIC created hereunder pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.

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

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 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.

SECTION 11.02.

Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Servicer at the expense of the Certificateholders, but only upon direction of the Trustee accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.

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

SECTION 11.03.

Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.

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

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

No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless (i) such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and (ii) the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 15 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

SECTION 11.09.

Third Party Rights.

The Counterparty shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.10.

Grant of Security Interest.

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the obligations secured by such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Depositor’s obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in clause (2) of the preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01 to be a true, absolute and unconditional sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee.

SECTION 11.11.

Protection of Assets.

Except for transactions and activities entered into in connection with the securitization that is the subject of this Agreement, the Trust is not authorized and has no power to:

(1)

borrow money or issue debt;

(2)

merge with another entity, reorganize, liquidate or sell assets; or

(3)

engage in any business or activities.

Each party to this Agreement agrees that it will not file an involuntary bankruptcy petition or initiate any other form of insolvency proceeding against the Trust Fund until after the Certificates have been paid in full.

SECTION 11.12.

Non-Solicitation

From and after the date of this Agreement, each of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee agrees that it will not take any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its agents or affiliates, or by any independent contractors on any such party’s behalf, to personally, by telephone, by mail, or electronically by e-mail or through the internet or otherwise, solicit the borrower or obligor under any Mortgage Loan to refinance the Mortgage Loan, in whole or in part; provided however, that the Trustee shall not be held responsible for actions of the Custodian in violation of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that promotions undertaken by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee or any affiliate of any such party that originates mortgage loans in the normal course, which are directed to the general public at large, or segments thereof, including, without limitation, mass mailings based on commercially acquired mailing lists or newspaper, radio and television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation under this Section 11.12, provided, that no segment of the general public shall consist primarily of the borrowers or obligors under the Mortgage Loans. None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee shall permit the sale of the name of any Mortgagor or any list of names that consist primarily of the Mortgages to any Person.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee have caused their names to be signed hereto by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, in each case as of the day and year first above written.
