CONVEYANCE OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 2.01 Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans.

(a) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trust without recourse (subject to Sections 2.02 and 2.04) all of its right, title and interest in and to (i) each Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgage File, including its Cut-Off Date Principal Balance (including all Additional Balances resulting from Draws made pursuant to the related Mortgage Note prior to the termination of the Trust) and all collections in respect of interest and principal received after the related Cut-Off Date; (ii) property that secured a Mortgage Loan and which has been acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure; (iii) any insurance policies maintained in respect of the Mortgage Loans (including any insurance proceeds); (iv) the Collection Account, the Distribution Account and all funds and other property on deposit from time to time therein; (v) the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (excluding its rights to indemnification under the indemnification provisions thereof); (vi) all other assets included or to be included in the Trust for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Transferor and the Insurer (provided, however, that neither the Owner Trustee nor the Trust assumes any obligation under any Mortgage Note for the funding of future Draws to the Mortgagor thereunder, and neither the Owner Trustee nor the Trust will be obligated or permitted to fund any such future Draws); and (vii) any and all proceeds of the foregoing. Additional Balances shall be included in the related Principal Balance transferred to the Trust pursuant to this Section 2.01 and therefore will be part of the corpus of the Trust.

The Seller and the Depositor agree to take or cause to be taken such actions (including without limitation (i) the filing of the UCC-1 financing statements with the Secretary of State of the State of Tennessee, in the case of the Seller, and the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in the case of the Depositor and the Trust, in each case by no later than 10 days after the Closing Date, describing the Cut-Off Date Principal Balances and Additional Balances related to the Mortgage Loans and (x) naming the Seller as debtor and the Depositor as secured party, in the case of the UCC-1 financing statement for the Seller, (y) naming the Depositor as debtor and the Trust as secured party, in the case of the UCC-1 financing statement for the Depositor, and (z) naming the Trust as debtor and the Indenture Trustee as secured party, in the case of the UCC-1 financing statement for the Trust, and (ii) the filing of any amendments to such UCC-1 financing statements required to reflect a change in the name or jurisdiction of organization of the Seller, the Depositor or the Trust, as the case may be, within 30 days of any event necessitating such filing) as are necessary to perfect and protect the Depositor’s interest, in the case of the Seller, the Trust’s interest, in the case of the Depositor, and the Noteholders’, the Indenture Trustee’s and the Insurer’s interests, in the case of the Trust, in each Cut-Off Date Principal Balance and Additional Balances related to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. In addition, the Master Servicer agrees to file or cause to be filed continuation statements with respect to such financing statements as required and for as long as this Agreement and the Indenture remain outstanding.

In the event any loss is suffered by the Insurer or the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders in respect of any Mortgage Loan as a result of a failure by the Seller or the Depositor to file on or prior to the Closing Date the UCC-1 financing statements referred to in this Section 2.01, the Seller shall on the Business Day next preceding the Payment Date in the month following the Due Period during which such loss occurred purchase such Mortgage Loan. Such purchase shall be accomplished in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.02.

In addition, on or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall cause the Insurer to deliver the Insurance Policy to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders.

(b) (i) In connection with such transfer, assignment, sale and conveyance by the Depositor, the Depositor shall cause the Seller to deliver or have delivered to, and deposit with, the Indenture Trustee (or its designee), on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Schedule in computer readable format.


	(ii) In connection with such transfer, assignment, sale and conveyance by the Depositor, the Depositor shall cause the Seller to deliver to and deposit with the Custodian, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer, the following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so assigned:


	(A) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank, or a copy of such original Mortgage Note with an accompanying Lost Note Affidavit;

	(B) the original Assignment of Mortgage, from the Seller or an Affiliate to “First Horizon ABS Trust 2007-HE1, The Bank of New York, as Indenture Trustee” which assignment shall be in form and substance acceptable for recording;

	(C) the original recorded Mortgage or a copy of such recorded Mortgage, certified by the Seller as being a true and complete copy thereof; provided that if the original Mortgage has been delivered for recording to the appropriate public recording office of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located but has not yet been returned to the Seller by such recording office, the Seller shall deliver to the Custodian a copy of such original Mortgage, certified by the Seller as being a true and complete copy thereof and certifying that such original Mortgage has been so delivered to such recording office; in all such instances, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian the original recorded Mortgage, or a copy thereof, certified by the Seller as being a true and complete copy thereof, promptly upon its receipt thereof;

	(D) (i) if the Credit Limit for such Mortgage Loan is greater than $500,000, the original attorney’s opinion of title or the original policy of title insurance, or a copy of the original attorney’s opinion of title or the original policy of title insurance, certified by the Seller as being a true and complete copy thereof; or (ii) if the Credit Limit for such Mortgage Loan is equal to or less than $500,000, the Seller may deliver to the Custodian an original lender’s policy of title insurance or a copy of the original lender’s policy of title insurance, certified


	by the Seller as being a true and complete copy thereof, or, if the Mortgage Loan is insured by alternative title protection evidenced by a certificate of lien protection policy, the Seller may delivery to the Custodian an original lien protection certificate or a copy of the original lien protection certificate, certified by the Seller as being a true and complete copy thereof; or (iii) if the Mortgage Loan is a “combo loan” pursuant to which the Seller has also originated the related Senior Lien, the Seller may deliver to the Custodian a copy of the original attorney’s opinion of title or the original policy of title insurance for the first lien mortgage loan;

	(E) all original intervening recorded assignments, or copies of such intervening assignments certified by the Seller as being true and complete copies of the interim assignments (each such assignment, when duly and validly completed, to be in recordable form and sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof, under the related Mortgage); provided that if the related Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable public recording office, such assignment of the Mortgage may exclude the information to be provided by the recording office; and

	(F) originals of all assumption and modification agreements, if any, or copies thereof, certified by the Seller as being true and complete copies thereof,

provided, however, that as to any Mortgage Loan, if as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee, the Insurer, and the Rating Agencies (x) an optical image or other representation of the related document specified in clause (b)(ii)(C) above is enforceable in the relevant jurisdictions to the same extent as the original of such document and (y) such optical image or other representation does not impair the ability of an owner of such Mortgage Loan to transfer or perfect its interest in such Mortgage Loan, such optical image or other representation may be delivered as required in clause (b)(ii).

The Seller hereby confirms to the Trust, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer that it has made the appropriate entries in its general accounting records, to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been sold to the Depositor by the Seller, sold by the Depositor to the Trust and pledged by the Trust to the Indenture Trustee. The Master Servicer hereby confirms to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer that it has clearly and unambiguously made appropriate entries in its general accounting records indicating that such Mortgage Loans constitute part of the Trust and are serviced by it on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the terms hereof.

The Custodian shall, as custodian and bailee for the benefit of the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Insurer, be entitled to maintain, in accordance with clause (b)(ii) above, possession of the documents and instruments listed in subclauses (A) and (C) through (F) of clause (b)(ii) above, it being understood that the Custodian shall have no obligation to prepare the Assignments referenced in subclause (B) of clause (b)(ii) above unless an Assignment Event shall have occurred. The Custodian shall maintain possession of such

documents either through itself or through an Affiliate at its offices in Memphis, Tennessee and/or Irving, Texas or, upon written notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer, at such other location that the Custodian conducts its business. In the event, however, that possession of any such documents or instruments that the Custodian is entitled to hold pursuant to Section 2.01(b) is required by the Master Servicer in order to carry out the duties of the Master Servicer hereunder, then the Master Servicer shall be entitled to request delivery at the expense of the Custodian of such documents or instruments by the Custodian and to retain such documents or instruments for servicing purposes; provided that the Indenture Trustee or such successor Master Servicer shall maintain such documents at such offices as may be required by any regulatory body having jurisdiction over such Mortgage Loan.

Within 90 days following the occurrence of an Assignment Event specified in clause (i) of the definition thereof, the Custodian will (i) segregate (a) the Mortgage Files from documents and instruments relating to mortgage loans that are not Mortgage Loans and (b) the Mortgage Note from the Related Documents for each Mortgage Loan and shall assemble and maintain the Mortgage Notes together (separate and apart from the Related Documents), (ii) deliver the Mortgage Notes to the Indenture Trustee, and (iii) prepare an Assignment of Mortgage for each Mortgage Loan as contemplated by Section 2.01(b)(ii)(B). The Assignments of Mortgage will be held by the Custodian in the same manner, subject to the conditions provided in the immediately following paragraph.

Within 90 days following the occurrence of an Assignment Event specified in clause (ii) of the definition thereof, the Custodian, at its expense, will (a) deliver the Mortgage Files then remaining in its possession to the Indenture Trustee, and (b) submit to the appropriate recording offices Assignments of Mortgage to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Trust, which may be blanket assignments if permitted by applicable law, for the Mortgage Loans. In lieu of recording any such Assignments of Mortgage, the Custodian, at its expense, may provide to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer and Opinion of Counsel in a form reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer, to the effect that recordation of an Assignment of Mortgage in one or more states where the related Mortgaged Properties are located is not necessary to protect the interests of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or the Noteholders in the related Mortgage Loans. In the event that any such Assignment of Mortgage submitted in accordance with this paragraph is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Custodian, at its own expense, shall promptly prepare a substitute Assignment of Mortgage or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter the Custodian shall be required to submit each such Assignment of Mortgage to the appropriate recording office for recording. Any failure of the Custodian to comply with this Section shall result in the obligation of the Seller to purchase such Mortgage Loans pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.04 or substitute for the related Mortgage Loans pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.06.

(c) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and the other property described above by the Depositor to the Trust, as provided in this Agreement, be, and be construed as, a sale of all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other property described above by the Depositor to the Trust. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans and the other property described above by the Depositor to the Trust to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the

parties, the Mortgage Loans and the other property described above are held to be property of the Depositor, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other property described above, then, (x) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC, and (y) the Depositor hereby grants to the Trust a security interest in and to all of the Depositor’s right, title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, in and to the corpus of the Trust.

The possession by the Indenture Trustee, or its designee, of Mortgage Files, including the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages and such other goods, letters of credit, advices of credit, instruments, money, documents, chattel paper (tangible and electronic) or certificated securities shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party,” or possession by a purchaser or a person designated by him or her, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC (including, without limitation, Sections 9-312, 9-313 and 8-106 thereof); and notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents of, or persons holding for, the Indenture Trustee or its designee, as applicable, for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Seller, the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee, shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. In connection herewith, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and the Insurer shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under the UCC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in taking such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law, and maintaining such throughout the term of this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee may rely upon the Opinion of Counsel delivered to it pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Indenture.

(d) The Indenture Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Insurer, within 60 days after (x) the occurrence of an Assignment Event described in clause (i) of the definition thereof, to review the Mortgage Notes, and (y) the occurrence of an Assignment Event described in clause (ii) of the definition thereof, to review the Mortgage Notes and the Related Documents to ascertain that all documents required to be delivered on such delivery date have been executed and received, and that such documents related to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and that the Assignments of Mortgage (if required to be delivered) have been endorsed as set forth in Section 2.01(b)(ii)(B), and in so doing the Indenture Trustee may rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any signature thereon. If within the related 60-day period the Indenture Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File required to be reviewed by it not to have been executed or received or to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in said Mortgage Loan Schedule or, if in the course of its review, the Indenture Trustee determines such part of the Mortgage File is otherwise defective in any material respect, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Seller, the Depositor and the Insurer in accordance with the second paragraph of this Section 2.01(d), and

the Seller shall have a period of 90 days after such notice within which to correct or cure any such defect; provided, however, that if such defect shall not have been corrected or cured within such 90-day period due primarily to the failure of the related office of real property or other records to return any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File, the Seller shall so notify the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer in writing and the period during which such defect may be corrected or cured shall be extended until such time as any such documents are returned from such related office (in no event, however, will such period extend beyond one (1) year from the date of discovery of such defect); provided, further, that prior to any such extension the Seller shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee a true copy of such document certified by the Seller to be a true and correct copy, the original of which has been transmitted for recordation.

On or prior to the end of the 60 day period described in the first sentence of this Section 2.01(d), the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Seller, the Depositor and the Insurer, an initial certification, and for a period of 90 days thereafter updates every 30 days, in a form acceptable to the Depositor and the Insurer, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, to the effect that it has reviewed the Mortgage Files pursuant to this Section and has determined that all documents required to be delivered have been executed and received by the Indenture Trustee, subject to any exceptions identified in such certification. Promptly at the end of the 90-day period described in this paragraph, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Seller, the Depositor and the Insurer, a final certification as to any remaining document deficiencies, whereupon the Depositor shall repurchase any related Defective Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.02(b).

(e) The Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility for reviewing any Mortgage File except as expressly provided in this Section 2.01. In reviewing any Mortgage File pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining whether any document is valid and binding, whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form (except, if applicable, to determine if the Indenture Trustee is the assignee or endorsee), whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction, whether any Person executing any document is authorized to do so or whether any signature thereon is genuine, but shall only be required to determine whether a document has been executed, that it appears to be what it purports to be, and, where applicable, that it purports to be recorded.

Section 2.02 Acceptance by Indenture Trustee.

(a) The Indenture Trustee hereby acknowledges its receipt of the Insurance Policy and the sale and assignment of the Mortgage Loans and, subject to the review provided for in Section 2.01, declares that, when delivered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Custodian on its behalf, in accordance with Section 2.01(b), the Indenture Trustee, or the Custodian on its behalf will hold the documents constituting the Mortgage Files, and that all amounts received by it under the Indenture in trust, upon the terms herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present and future Noteholders and the Insurer.

(b) If the Seller is given notice under Section 2.01(d) and if the Seller does not correct or cure such omission or defect within the 90-day period specified in Section 2.01(d), the Seller shall purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust or substitute an Eligible Substitute Mortgage

Loan, as provided in Section 2.06, for such Mortgage Loan. Any such purchase by the Seller shall be at the Purchase Price and in each case shall be accomplished in the manner set forth in Section 2.04. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to purchase any Mortgage Loan or substitute an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan for such Mortgage Loan as to which a material defect in or omission of a constituent document exists shall constitute the sole remedy against the Seller respecting such defect or omission available to the Insurer, the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Transferor.

(a) The Seller and Master Servicer, each as to itself, hereby represents and warrants to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and the Noteholders, that, as of the Closing Date:

The Master Servicer may enter into Subservicing Agreements for any servicing and administration of Mortgage Loans with any institution which (i) is in compliance with the laws of each state necessary to enable it to perform its obligations under such Subservicing Agreement, (ii) (x) has been designated an approved Seller-Master Servicer by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) or the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) for first and second mortgage loans, (y) is an affiliate of the Master Servicer or (z) is otherwise approved by the Insurer. The Master Servicer shall give written notice to the Insurer and the Indenture Trustee prior to the appointment of any Subservicer. Any such Subservicing Agreement shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement and shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Insurer. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement and either itself directly service the related Mortgage Loans or enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor subservicer which qualifies hereunder. The Master Servicer may enter into any Subcontracting Agreement from time to time with any Subcontractor without notice to or approval of the Insurer.

(b) Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement or any Subcontracting Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer and a Subservicer or a Subcontractor or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or a Subcontractor or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements, Subcontracting Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer or Subcontractor, as applicable, and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on Mortgage Loans when the Subservicer has received such payments. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Subservicer or a Subcontractor for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Subservicer or Subcontractor, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

(c) Any Subservicing Agreement or Subcontracting Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer or a Subcontractor, as applicable, in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer or Subcontractor, as applicable, and the Master Servicer alone, and the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer, the Owner Trustee and Noteholders and the Transferor in respect of the Transferor Interest shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer or the Subcontractor, as applicable, except as set forth in Section 3.01(d) herein, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any Subservicer or any Subcontractor irrespective of whether the Master Servicer’s compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.

(d) In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of an Event of Servicing Termination), the Indenture Trustee or its designee approved by the Insurer or a successor Master Servicer under Section 7.02(a) shall

thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement and each Subcontracting Agreement that the Master Servicer may have entered into, unless the Indenture Trustee or designee approved by the Insurer or any successor Master Servicer under Section 7.02(a) elects to terminate any Subservicing Agreement or any Subcontracting Agreement in accordance with the terms of such Subservicing Agreement or such Subcontracting Agreement. Each Subservicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated by the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee or any successor Master Servicer in the event that the Master Servicer shall, for any reason, no longer be the Master Servicer (including termination due to an Event of Servicing Termination). In no event shall any Subservicing Agreement or any Subcontracting Agreement require the Insurer or the Indenture Trustee as successor Master Servicer to pay compensation to a Subservicer or a Subcontractor or order the termination of such Subservicer or Subcontractor without the payment of any termination fee. Any fee payable or expense incurred in connection with such a termination will be payable by the outgoing Master Servicer. If the Indenture Trustee does not terminate a Subservicing Agreement or a Subcontracting Agreement, the Indenture Trustee, its designee (approved by the Insurer) or a successor Master Servicer under Section 7.02(a) shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to each Subservicing Agreement and each Subcontracting Agreement to the same extent as if the Subservicing Agreements and the Subcontracting Agreements had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the Subservicing Agreements or the Subcontracting Agreements with regard to events that occurred prior to the date the Master Servicer ceased to be the Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer, at its expense and without right of reimbursement therefor, shall, upon the request of the Indenture Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Subservicing Agreement, each Subcontracting Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreements and the Subcontracting Agreements to the assuming party.

(e) No costs incurred by the Master Servicer or any Subservicer in respect of Servicing Advances shall, for the purposes of distributions to Noteholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Loan. If reasonably required by the Master Servicer and requested in writing by a Servicing Officer, the Trust and/or the Indenture Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer and, if directed by the Master Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor with any limited powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer, any such Subservicer and any such Subcontractor to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Master Servicer, in servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, shall employ or cause to be employed procedures (including collection, foreclosure and REO management procedures) and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering home equity line of credit mortgage loans for its own account, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and giving due consideration to the Insurer’s, the Noteholders’ and the Trust’s reliance on the Master Servicer. Without limiting the foregoing, the Master Servicer is authorized to commence loss mitigation procedures with respect to any Mortgage Loan if the Master Servicer,

in its judgment and consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, determines that a default with respect to such Mortgage Loan is imminent.

(f) On and after such time as the Indenture Trustee receives the resignation of, or notice of the removal of, the Master Servicer from its rights and obligations under this Agreement, and with respect to resignation pursuant to Section 6.04 herein, after receipt by the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer of the Opinion of Counsel required pursuant to Section 6.04, the Indenture Trustee, if it so elects, and with the consent of the Insurer, shall assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer, subject to Section 7.02 herein. The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Indenture Trustee, but at the expense of the Master Servicer, deliver to the Indenture Trustee, all documents and records relating to the Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected and held by the Master Servicer and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of servicing rights and obligations to the assuming party.

(g) The Master Servicer shall deliver a list of Servicing Officers to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer on or before the Closing Date and shall revise such list from time to time, as appropriate, and shall deliver all revisions promptly to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer.

(h) Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer may execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Noteholders, and the Trust, or any of them, any instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer will consent to the placing of a lien senior to that of the Mortgage on the related Mortgaged Property; provided,


(i) the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of the related Mortgage Loan immediately following the modification is not greater than the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan as of the date such Mortgage Loan was originated; or

(ii) in the case of any such action that would result in an increase in the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio over the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio as of the date such Mortgage Loan was originated, the aggregate number of Mortgage Loans with respect to which a new senior lien is consented to by the Master Servicer does not exceed 5% of the number of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date; and

	(x)	the CLTV after giving effect to the modification does not exceed 100%; and

	(y)	the related Margin will be increased if necessary to comply with the Master Servicer’s origination criteria in effect at the time taking into account the CLTV after giving effect to the modification.

For purposes of this paragraph, the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio immediately following such modification is assumed not to have changed from the related Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio at

the time the related Mortgage Loan was originated if a new appraisal is not required to be obtained under the Master Servicer’s customary servicing practices.

The Master Servicer may also, without approval from the Rating Agencies or the Insurer, increase the Credit Limit on a Mortgage Loan if such increase is consistent with the Master Servicer’s underwriting policies and a new Appraised Value is obtained and the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of the Mortgage Loan after giving effect to the increase is less than or equal to the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of the Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-Off Date.

In addition, the Master Servicer may increase the Credit Limits on up to 10% of the number of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date if the increase in the Credit Limit of any single Mortgage Loan does not cause the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan to exceed 100%.

Furthermore, the Master Servicer, without prior approval from the Rating Agencies or the Insurer, may solicit Mortgagors for a reduction in Margins, provided that the cumulative impact of any such margin reductions shall not result in the reduction of the weighted average Margin of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date by more than 25 basis points taking into account any prior reductions.

The Master Servicer also may, without prior approval from the Rating Agencies or the Insurer, solicit or accept requests from Mortgagors for a reduction in Loan Rates; provided that the aggregate of such reductions shall not cause the difference between the weighted average Margin as of the Cut-Off Date and the Recalculated Weighted Average Margin (determined as of the date of the modification, immediately after giving effect to the modification) to exceed 0.25%.

In addition, the Master Servicer may solicit or accept requests from Mortgagors for other changes in the terms of the related Mortgage Loans if the changes (i) do not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders, the Transferor, the Indenture Trustee, or the Insurer and (ii) are consistent with prudent and customary business practice as evidenced by a certificate signed by a Servicing Officer delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer. At the same time that the Master Servicer delivers the Indenture Trustee’s Certificate and Statement to Noteholders pursuant to Section 5.03 hereof, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Seller and the Insurer a certificate signed by a Servicing Officer to the effect that the conditions of this Section 3.01(h) have been complied with, with respect to changes made to the terms of any Mortgage Loan in reliance on this Section 3.01(h) during the preceding Due Period. With the exception of a Delinquent Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall not modify the terms applicable to the principal balance owned by the Trust with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

In no event shall the Master Servicer modify the maturity of any Mortgage Loan to a maturity that is later than the Final Payment Date unless, after giving effect to such modification, there would be sufficient funds available in the Trust Estate to pay all amounts due and owing on the Notes and to the Trustee, the Noteholders and the Insurer on or prior to the Final Payment Date. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Master Servicer to solicit mortgagors with respect to new loans (including mortgage loans) that are not Mortgage Loans.

Section 3.02 Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

(a) The Master 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, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans in its servicing portfolio comparable to the Mortgage Loans. Consistent with the foregoing, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any prepayment charge or late payment charge or any assumption fees or other fees which may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) arrange with a Mortgagor a schedule for the payment of interest due and unpaid; provided that such arrangement is consistent with the Master Servicer’s policies with respect to the mortgage loans it owns or services; provided, further, that notwithstanding such arrangement such Mortgage Loans will be included in the monthly information delivered by the Master Servicer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 5.03 herein.

(b) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a separate trust account (the “Collection Account”) entitled “First Tennessee Bank National Association, in trust for the registered holders of First Horizon ABS Notes and as Paying Agent for the Transferor in respect of the Transferor Interest, as their interests may appear, Series 2007-HE1 Collection Account.” The Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account. If the short-term unsecured debt rating of the depository institution at which the Collection Account is maintained falls below “A-2” by Standard & Poor’s, then within 30 days after such downgrade, the Master Servicer shall cause the funds in the Collection Account to be moved to a successor depository institution that satisfies the requirements of the definition of an “Eligible Institution”. The Master Servicer shall deposit any amounts representing payments on and any collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans received after the Cut-Off Date and prior to the Closing Date, and thereafter, subject to Section 3.02(d), deposit within two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof, the following payments and collections received or made by it (without duplication) to the Collection Account:


	(i) all payments received after the Cut-Off Date on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans;

	(ii) all payments received after the Cut-Off Date on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, net of the Master Servicing Fee;

	(iii) all Net Recoveries;

	(iv) the Purchase Price of any Mortgage Loan and the amount of any Substitution Adjustment and of any Transferor Deposit Amount or other amount paid by the Seller or the Master Servicer during the related Due Period pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.04, 2.10 or 2.11, as applicable;

	(v) all Released Mortgaged Property Proceeds;

	(vi) any amounts received from the Transferor for the purchase of Additional Balances pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Trust Agreement; and


	(vii) any amount required to be deposited therein pursuant to Sections 3.02(c), 3.12 and 5.06(e) herein.

The foregoing requirements respecting deposits to the Collection Account are exclusive, it being understood that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer need not deposit in the Collection Account amounts representing fees (including annual fees) or late charge penalties or early termination fees payable by Mortgagors or amounts received by the Master Servicer for the accounts of Mortgagors for application toward the payment of taxes, insurance premiums, assessments and similar items.

(c) All funds in the Collection Account shall be held (i) uninvested or (ii) invested at the direction of the Master Servicer in Eligible Investments. Any investments of funds in the Collection Account shall mature or be available for withdrawal at par on or prior to two Business Days preceding the immediately succeeding Payment Date or if deposits are being made pursuant to paragraph (d) below, on the Business Day preceding the immediately succeeding Payment Date. Any investment earnings on funds held in the Collection Account through the second day preceding the day on which such funds are to be deposited in the Distribution Account shall be for the account of the Master Servicer and may be withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Master Servicer at any time. Any investment losses on funds held in the Collection Account through the second day preceding the day on which such funds are to be deposited in the Distribution Account shall be for such account of the Master Servicer and promptly (and in no event later than the next Payment Date) upon the realization of such loss shall be contributed by the Master Servicer to the Collection Account. Any references herein to amounts on deposit in the Collection Account shall refer to amounts net of such investment earnings.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 3.02(b) to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall be permitted to remit the collections that would otherwise be required to be deposited on a daily basis pursuant Section 3.02(b), net of any amount permitted to be withdrawn pursuant to Section 3.03(ii) through (viii) hereof, to the Collection Account in immediately available funds no later than 12:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to each Payment Date but only for so long as (a) the short-term deposit obligations of the Master Servicer are rated at least “A-1” by Standard & Poor’s and “P-1” by Moody’s, and (b) no Event of Servicing Termination shall have occurred and be continuing.

(e) During the period that the Master Servicer is permitted to remit collections as contemplated by the preceding paragraph 3.02(d), the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain for the Trust a Mortgage Loan Payment Record on which the payments and collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans for each of the categories specified in Section 3.02(b) shall be recorded and on which each of the categories of withdrawal specified in Section 3.03 shall be recorded and the Master Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer in writing as promptly as practicable (but in any event not later than Determination Date for the next Payment Date) of the amounts so recorded for each of the categories specified in such Section that are to be included in Interest Collections and Principal Collections for the related Payment Date and of the amounts so recorded which will constitute a part of Interest Collections and Principal Collections for the second following Payment Date.

(f) If (i) the written notification called for by the preceding paragraph is not received by the Determination Date for the next Payment Date or (ii) such notification indicates that Interest Collections and Principal Collections for such Payment Date are less than the Scheduled Payment for such Payment Date or (iii) the Master Servicer shall fail to make the deposit pursuant to Section 3.02(d), the Indenture Trustee shall immediately notify the Seller, the Depositor and the Insurer.

Section 3.03 Withdrawals from the Collection Account. The Master Servicer shall withdraw or cause to be withdrawn funds from the Collection Account for the following purposes:


	(i) on each Payment Date, to deposit the portion of the Interest Collections and Principal Collections for the related Due Period then in the Collection Account to the Distribution Account;

	(ii) to reimburse the Master Servicer for any accrued and unpaid Master Servicing Fees;

	(iii) to withdraw any amount received from a Mortgagor that is recoverable and sought to be recovered as a voidable preference by a trustee in bankruptcy pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code in accordance with a final, nonappealable order of a court having competent jurisdiction;

	(iv) subject to Section 5.06 hereof, to make investments in Eligible Investments and to pay to the Master Servicer interest earned in respect of Eligible Investments or on funds deposited in the Collection Account;

	(v) to withdraw any funds deposited in the Collection Account that were not required to be deposited therein or were deposited therein in error and to pay such funds to the appropriate Person;

	(vi) to pay the Master Servicer the servicing compensation for the related Due Period that it is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.09 herein to the extent not retained or paid pursuant to Section 3.02(b) hereof;

	(vii) to withdraw funds necessary for the conservation and disposition of REO Property pursuant to Section 3.07 to the extent not advanced by the Master Servicer;

	(viii) to pay from Principal Collections the amounts provided for the purchase of Additional Balances that are conveyed to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.01; and

	(ix) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon the termination of this Agreement and to pay any amounts remaining therein to the Transferor.

Section 3.04 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Property Protection Expenses. The Master Servicer shall cause the related Borrower to maintain for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance naming the Master Servicer or its designee as loss payee thereunder providing extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum

insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan from time to time, (ii) the combined principal balance owing on such Mortgage Loan and any mortgage loan senior to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis. The Master Servicer shall also maintain on property acquired upon foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value from time to time of the improvements which are a part of such property, (ii) the combined principal balance owing on such Mortgage Loan and any mortgage loan senior to such Mortgage Loan at the time of such foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure plus accrued interest and the good-faith estimate of the Master Servicer of related Servicing Advances to be incurred in connection therewith. Amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies shall be deposited in the Collection Account to the extent called for by Section 3.02. In cases in which any Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified in a federally designated flood area, the hazard insurance to be maintained for the related Mortgage Loan shall include flood insurance to the extent such flood insurance is available and the Master Servicer has determined such insurance to be necessary in accordance with accepted mortgage servicing practices of prudent lending institutions. All such flood insurance shall be in amounts not less than the lesser of (A) the amount in clause (i) above, (B) the amount in clause (ii) above and (C) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as amended. The Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to require that any Mortgagor maintain earthquake or other additional insurance and shall be under no obligation itself to maintain any such additional insurance on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.

Section 3.05 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy. In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket insurance policy consistent with prudent industry standards, insuring against fire and hazards of extended coverage on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such insurance policy names the Master Servicer or its designee as loss payee and provides coverage in an amount at least equal to the aggregate unpaid principal balance on the Mortgage Loans without coinsurance, and otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 3.04, the Master Servicer shall be deemed conclusively to have satisfied its obligations with respect to fire and hazard insurance coverage under Section 3.04. Upon the request of the Insurer or the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Insurer or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, a certified true copy of such insurance policy. Any such insurance policy may contain a deductible clause on terms substantially equivalent to those commercially available and maintained by comparable servicers. If such insurance policy contains a deductible clause, the Master Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property an insurance policy complying with the first sentence of this paragraph, and there shall have been a loss that would have been covered by such insurance policy, deposit into the Collection Account the amount not otherwise payable under such insurance policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and the Trust, claims under any such insurance policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such insurance policy.

Section 3.06 Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance. The Master Servicer shall maintain with responsible companies, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond (“Fidelity Bond”) and an errors and omissions insurance policy (“Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy”), with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the related Mortgage Loans (“Master Servicer Employees”). Any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Master Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of the Master Servicer Employees. Such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy also shall protect and insure the Master Servicer against losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of a related Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 3.06 requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall diminish or relieve the Master Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by FNMA.

Section 3.07 Management and Realization of REO Property. The Master Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Trust solely for the purpose of its prudent and prompt disposition and sale. The Master Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Master Servicer, manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Master Servicer shall attempt to sell the same on such terms and conditions as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Insurer, the Noteholders and the Trust.

The Master Servicer shall cause to be deposited, within the time period specified in Section 3.02(b) or 3.02(d), as applicable, in the Collection Account, all revenues net of Servicing Advances received with respect to the related REO Property and shall retain, or cause the Indenture Trustee to withdraw therefrom, funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Master Servicer.

The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Master Servicer for cash at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trust and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the expenses of such sale shall be paid. The cash proceeds of the sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.02(b) or 3.02(d), as applicable, net of any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, payable to the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 3.03, for distribution to the Noteholders in accordance with Section 5.01 herein.

The Master Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert to ownership Mortgaged Properties securing Charged-Off Mortgage Loans when no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.01, subject to the provisions contained in the second succeeding paragraph of this Section 3.07 and only if the Master Servicer determines that there is sufficient equity in the related Mortgaged Property to

justify such foreclosure. In connection with foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer will follow Accepted Servicing Practices, including the practice that the Master Servicer will not be required to expend its own funds in connection with foreclosure or other conversion, correction of default on a related senior mortgage loan or restoration of any Mortgaged Property unless, in its sole judgment, foreclosure, correction or restoration will increase net liquidation proceeds.

In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Indenture Trustee or its nominee on behalf of the Trust and the Insurer.

If the Master Servicer has actual knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which the Master Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is located within a one (1) mile radius of any site with environmental or hazardous waste risks, the Master Servicer will notify the Insurer prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property and shall not take any action without prior written approval of the Insurer.

Section 3.08 Indenture Trustee to Cooperate. Upon any principal prepayment in full of a Mortgage Loan following the end of the related Draw Period, the Master Servicer is authorized to execute, pursuant to the authorization contained in Section 3.01(e), if the related Assignment of Mortgage has been recorded as required hereunder, an instrument of satisfaction regarding the related Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction shall be recorded by the Master Servicer if required by applicable law and be delivered to the Person entitled thereto. It is understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or transfer shall be reimbursed from amounts deposited in the Collection Account. If the Indenture Trustee is holding any portion of the Mortgage Files, from time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the Indenture Trustee shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Indenture Trustee of a request for release, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (a “Request for Release”), signed by a Servicing Officer, release the related portion of the Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee shall execute such documents, at the expense of and in the forms provided by the Master Servicer, as shall be necessary for the prosecution of any such proceedings or the taking of other servicing actions. Such request for release shall obligate the Master Servicer to return the portion of the Mortgage File released to it to the Indenture Trustee when the need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the Indenture Trustee to the Master Servicer.

In order to facilitate the foreclosure of the Mortgage securing any Mortgage Loan that is in default following recordation of the related Assignment of Mortgage in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Indenture Trustee shall, if so requested in writing by the Master Servicer execute an appropriate assignment in the form provided to the Trust and the Indenture Trustee by the Master Servicer to assign such Mortgage Loan for the purpose of collection to the Master Servicer (any such assignment shall unambiguously indicate that the assignment is for the purpose of collection only) and, upon such assignment, such assignee for collection will thereupon bring all required actions in its own name and otherwise enforce the terms of the Mortgage Loan and deposit or credit the Net Recoveries received with respect thereto in the

Collection Account. In the event that all delinquent payments due under any such Mortgage Loan are paid by the Mortgagor and any other defaults are cured then the assignee for collection shall promptly reassign such Mortgage Loan to the Indenture Trustee and return it to the place where the related Mortgage File was being maintained.

Section 3.09 Servicing Compensation; Payment of Certain Expenses by Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain the Master Servicing Fee in accordance with Section 3.02 as compensation for its services in connection with servicing the Mortgage Loans. Moreover, additional servicing compensation in the form of late payment charges, early termination fees or other receipts not considered interest or principal payments under the Mortgage Notes, Foreclosure Profits and, subject to Section 3.02(b) above (except as noted in Section 5.06(e) below), investment income on the Collection Account shall be retained by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder (including payment of all other fees and expenses not expressly stated hereunder to be for the account of the Trust) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.

Section 3.10 Annual Statement as to Compliance.

(a) The Master Servicer shall (and shall cause any subservicer to) deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and the Depositor no later than the 15th of March of each calendar year, commencing in March 2008, an Officer’s Certificate, certifying that with respect to the period ending on the immediately preceding December 31: (i) a review of the activities of such Person during the preceding calendar year or portion thereof has been made under such Servicing Officer’s supervision, (ii) to the best of such Servicing Officer’s knowledge, based on such review, such Person has fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such Servicing Officer and the nature and status thereof, (iii) nothing has come to the attention of such Servicing Officer to lead such Servicing Officer to believe that the Master Servicer has failed to perform any of its duties, responsibilities and obligations set forth in Article III hereunder in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a material default in the performance or fulfillment of any such duties, responsibilities or obligations, specifying each such default known to such Servicing Officer and the nature and status thereof, and (iv) the Master Servicer has received from any Subservicer that is a Reporting Subcontractor an annual certificate of compliance and a copy of such Subservicer’s 1122 Servicing Criteria-Assessment, or, if any such certificate or report has not been received by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer is using its best reasonable efforts to obtain such certificate or report.

(b) Copies of such statements shall be provided to any Noteholder upon request, by the Master Servicer or by the Indenture Trustee at the Master Servicer’s expense if the Master Servicer failed to provide such copies (unless (i) the Master Servicer shall have failed to provide the Indenture Trustee with such statement or (ii) a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has no actual knowledge of the Master Servicer’s failure to provide such statement).

Section 3.11 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer,

Noteholders which are federally insured savings and loan associations, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of the Office of Thrift Supervision access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC (acting as operator of the SAIF or the BIF), such access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer. Nothing in this Section 3.11 shall derogate from the obligation of the Master Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Master Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.11 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.11; provided that the Master Servicer makes reasonable efforts to provide such information without violation of law.

Section 3.12 Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonments of Mortgaged Properties, Returns Relating to Mortgage Interest Received from Individuals and Returns Relating to Cancellation of Indebtedness. The Master Servicer shall, beginning in 2008, make annual reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property for the previous calendar year. The Master Servicer shall file or cause to be filed reports relating to each instance occurring during the previous calendar year in which the Master Servicer (i) on behalf of the Trust acquires an interest in any Mortgaged Property through foreclosure or other comparable conversion in full or partial satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan or (ii) knows or has reason to know that any Mortgaged Property has been abandoned. The reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by Sections 6050J, 6050H and 6050P of the Code.

Section 3.13 Assumption Agreements. When a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance or prospective conveyance, exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan under any “due-on-sale” clause contained in the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not exercise any such right if the “due-on-sale” clause, in the reasonable belief of the Master Servicer, is not enforceable under applicable law. In such event, the Master Servicer shall enter into an assumption and modification agreement with the person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person shall become liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Mortgagor shall remain liable thereon. The Master Servicer, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, is also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability whereby such person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. The Master Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer in writing that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed, and add such agreement 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. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into pursuant to this Section 3.13, the Master Servicer shall not change the Loan Rate or the Monthly Payment, defer or forgive the payment of principal or interest, reduce the outstanding principal amount or extend the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Master 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 any assumption which the Master Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.

Section 3.14 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain records relating to payment of taxes or insurance (including hazard insurance).

ARTICLE IV.

INSURER

Section 4.01 Claims upon the Insurance Policy. (a) As soon as possible, and in no event later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall furnish the Insurer, the Fiscal Agent and the Master Servicer with a completed notice in the form set forth as Exhibit A to the Insurance Policy (the “Notice for Payment”) in the event that the Insurance Policy Draw Amount for such Payment Date is an amount greater than zero. The Notice for Payment shall specify the amount of the Insurance Policy Draw Amount and shall constitute a claim for an Insurance Policy Draw Amount pursuant to the Insurance Policy. Upon receipt of an Insurance Policy Draw Amount on behalf of the Noteholders under the Insurance Policy, the Indenture Trustee shall deposit such Insurance Policy Draw Amount in the Distribution Account and shall distribute such Insurance Policy Draw Amount pursuant to Section 5.01 (a)I(iv) and (a)(II)(i), as applicable.

(b) The Indenture Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate record of the amount of interest and principal paid in respect of the Notes from moneys received under the Insurance Policy. The Insurer shall have the right to inspect such records at reasonable times during normal business hours upon four Business Day’s prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee.

(c) If a payment to the Noteholders which is guaranteed pursuant to the Insurance Policy is voided (a “Preference Event”) under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law in an insolvency proceeding, and, as a result of such a Preference Event, the Indenture Trustee is required to return such voided payment, or any portion of such voided payment, made in respect of the Notes (an “Avoided Payment”), the Indenture Trustee shall furnish to the Insurer (A) a certified copy of the order of the court or other governmental body that exercised jurisdiction to the effect that the Noteholder is required to return principal of or interest paid on the Notes during the term of the Insurance Policy because such payments were Avoided Payments under applicable bankruptcy law (the “Order”), (B) a certificate of the Noteholder that the Order has been entered and is not subject to any stay and (C) an assignment duly executed and delivered by the Noteholder, in such form as is reasonably required by the Insurer and provided to the Noteholder by the Insurer, irrevocably assigning to the Insurer all rights and claims of the Noteholder relating to or arising under the Notes against the estate of the Trust or otherwise with respect to such preference payment. Such payment shall be disbursed to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Order and not to the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder directly (unless a Noteholder has previously paid such amount to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Order in which case such payment shall be disbursed to the Indenture Trustee for distribution

to such Noteholder upon proof of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Insurer). The Indenture Trustee is not permitted to make a claim on the Trust or on any Noteholder for payments made to any Noteholder which are characterized as preference payments by any bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over any bankrupt Trust unless ordered to do so by such bankruptcy court.

(d) The Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Insurer of either of the following as to which it has actual knowledge: (i) the commencement of any proceeding by or against the Trust commenced under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, rehabilitation or similar law (an “Insolvency Proceeding”) and (ii) the making of any claim in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer (a “Preference Claim”) of any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes. Each Holder, by its purchase of the Notes, and the Indenture Trustee hereby agree that, so long as a Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, the Insurer may at any time during the continuation of an Insolvency Proceeding direct all matters relating to such Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, (i) all matters relating to any Preference Claim, (ii) the direction of any appeal of any order relating to any Preference Claim at the expense of the Insurer but subject to reimbursement as provided in the Insurance Agreement and (iii) the posting of any surety, supersedeas or performance bond pending any such appeal.

(e) Any amounts received by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Insurance Policy in respect of the Notes shall be deposited to the Distribution Account.

Section 4.02 Effect of Payments by the Insurer; Subrogation. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment with respect to principal of or interest on any of the Notes which are made with moneys received pursuant to the terms of the Insurance Policy shall not be considered payment of such Notes, as applicable, from the Trust and shall not result in the payment of or the provision for the payment of the principal of or interest on such Notes, as applicable, within the meaning of Section 5.01 herein. The Seller, the Master Servicer and the Indenture Trustee acknowledge, and each Holder by its acceptance of a Note agrees, that without the need for any further action on the part of the Insurer, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar (a) to the extent the Insurer makes payments, directly or indirectly, on account of principal of or interest on any Notes to the Holders of such Notes, the Insurer will be fully subrogated to and each Holder, the Master Servicer and the Indenture Trustee hereby delegate and assign to the Insurer, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights of such Holders to receive such principal and interest, as applicable, from the Trust and (b) the Insurer shall be paid such principal and interest but only from the sources and in the manner provided herein and in the Insurance Agreement for the payment of such principal and interest.

The Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer shall cooperate in all respects with any reasonable request by the Insurer for action to preserve or enforce the Insurer’s rights or interests under this Agreement without limiting the rights or affecting the interests of the Holders of the Notes as otherwise set forth herein.

Section 4.03 Replacement Insurance Policy. In the event the Insurer fails to make a payment required under the Insurance Policy and such failure continues for a period of more than ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Insurer of written notice of such failure (such event, a

“Replacement Event”), the Seller may, in accordance with and upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Insurance Policy and the Insurance and Indemnity Agreement, the payment in full of all amounts owed to the Insurer, and the receipt of a statement in writing from each Rating Agency stating that the substitution referred to below would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates (without regard to the Insurance Policy), but shall not be required to, substitute a new insurance policy or insurance policies for the existing Insurance Policy, or may arrange for any other form of credit enhancement; provided, however, that in each case the Notes shall be rated no lower than the rating assigned by each Rating Agency to the Notes immediately prior to such Replacement Event. It shall be a condition to substitution of any new credit enhancement that there be delivered to the Indenture Trustee (i) a legal opinion, acceptable in form and substance to the Indenture Trustee, from counsel to the provider of such new credit enhancement with respect to the enforceability thereof and such other matters as the Indenture Trustee may require and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution would not have a materially adverse tax effect on the Noteholders or the Trust. Upon receipt of the items referred to above and the taking of physical possession of the new credit enhancement, the Indenture Trustee shall, within five Business Days following receipt of such items and such taking of physical possession, deliver the replaced Insurance Policy to the Insurer.

The Indenture Trustee may fully and conclusively rely upon and shall have no liability with respect to information provided by the Master Servicer.

To the extent that there are inconsistencies between the telecopy of the Indenture Trustee’s Certificate and Statement to Noteholders and the hard copy thereof, the Indenture Trustee may rely upon the latter.

(a) The Indenture Trustee shall prepare or cause to be prepared (in a manner consistent with the treatment of the Notes as indebtedness of the Trust, or as may be otherwise required by Section 3.12 herein) Internal Revenue Service Form 1099 (or any successor form) and any other tax forms required to be filed or furnished to Noteholders in respect of

distributions by the Indenture Trustee (or the Paying Agent) on the Notes and shall file and distribute such forms as required by law.

(b) The Master Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall furnish to each Noteholder and to the Insurer (if requested in writing), during the term of this Agreement, such periodic, special or other reports or information, whether or not provided for herein, as shall be necessary, reasonable or appropriate with respect to the Noteholder or the Insurer, as the case may be, or otherwise with respect to the purposes of this Agreement, all such reports or information to be provided by and in accordance with such applicable instructions and directions (if requested in writing) as the Noteholder or the Insurer, as the case may be, may reasonably require; provided that the Master Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by such Noteholder or the Insurer, as the case may be, for their respective fees and actual expenses associated with providing such reports, if such reports are not generally produced in the ordinary course of their respective businesses or readily obtainable.

(c) Reports and computer tapes furnished by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed confidential and of a proprietary nature, and shall not be copied or distributed except to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Underwriting Agreement and to the extent required by law or to the Rating Agencies, the Depositor, the Insurer’s attorneys, reinsurers, parent, regulators, liquidity providers and auditors and to the extent the Seller instructs the Indenture Trustee in writing to furnish information regarding the Trust or the Mortgage Loans to third-party information providers. No Person entitled to receive copies of such reports or tapes or lists of Noteholders shall use the information therein for the purpose of soliciting the customers of the Seller or for any other purpose except as set forth in this Agreement and the Underwriting Agreement.

Section 5.04 Policy Payments Account. The Indenture Trustee shall establish a separate trust account (the “Policy Payments Account”) titled “The Bank of New York, as Indenture Trustee, in trust for the registered Holders of First Horizon ABS Notes Series 2007-HE1 and the Insurer, and as Paying Agent for the Transferor in respect of the Transferor Interest, as their interests may appear, Series 2007-HE1 Policy Payments Account.” The Policy Payments Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Indenture Trustee shall deposit all Insurance Policy Draw Amounts received by it into the Policy Payments Account immediately following receipt thereof. Amounts on deposit in the Policy Payments Account shall not be invested. On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee will withdraw any amounts on deposit in the Policy Payments Account and will deposit such amounts into the Distribution Account for distribution on such Payment Date in accordance with Section 5.01(a) above. If the short-term unsecured debt rating of the depository institution at which the Policy Payments Account is maintained falls below “A-1” by Standard & Poor’s, then within 60 days after such downgrade, the Indenture Trustee shall cause the funds in the Policy Payments Account to be moved to a successor depository institution that satisfies the requirements of the definition of an “Eligible Institution”.

Section 5.05 Distribution Account. The Indenture Trustee shall establish a separate trust account (the “Distribution Account”) titled “The Bank of New York, as Indenture Trustee, in trust for the registered Holders of First Horizon ABS Notes Series 2007-HE1 and the Insurer, and as Paying Agent for the Transferor in respect of the Transferor Interest, as their interests may appear, Series 2007-HE1 Distribution Account.” The Distribution Account shall be an Eligible

Account. The Indenture Trustee shall deposit any amounts representing payments on and any collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans received by it immediately following receipt thereof to the Distribution Account including, without limitation, all amounts withdrawn by the Master Servicer from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03 herein for deposit to the Distribution Account. Amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account may be invested in Eligible Investments pursuant to Section 5.06 below. If the short-term unsecured debt rating of the depository institution at which the Distribution Account is maintained falls below “A-2” by Standard & Poor’s, then within 30 days after such downgrade, the Indenture Trustee shall cause the funds in the Distribution Account to be moved to a successor depository institution that satisfies the requirements of the definition of an “Eligible Institution”.

Section 5.06 Investment of Accounts.

(a) So long as no Event of Servicing Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, and consistent with any requirements of the Code, all or a portion of the Collection Account may be invested and reinvested by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.02(c) of this Agreement and all or a portion of the Distribution Account may be invested and reinvested by the Indenture Trustee, as directed in writing by the Master Servicer, in one or more Eligible Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount. If an Event of Servicing Termination shall have occurred and be continuing or if the Master Servicer does not provide investment directions, the Indenture Trustee shall invest all Accounts in Eligible Investments described in paragraph (vi) of the definition of Eligible Investments. No such investment in any Account shall mature later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date (except that (i) if such Eligible Investment is (a) an investment described in item (vi) of Eligible Investments if such Eligible Investments are held by the Indenture Trustee or (b) an obligation of the Indenture Trustee, then such Eligible Investment shall mature not later than such Payment Date and (ii) or any other date prior to such Payment Date as may be approved by the Rating Agencies and the Insurer).

(b) If any amounts are needed for disbursement from any Account held by the Indenture Trustee and sufficient uninvested funds are not available to make such disbursement, the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be sold or otherwise converted to cash a sufficient amount of the investments in such Account.

(c) The Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable for the selection of Eligible Investments by the Master Servicer or by reason of any investment loss or charge or any insufficiency in the Collection Account held by the Indenture Trustee resulting from any investment loss on any Eligible Investment included therein unless the Indenture Trustee’s failure to perform in accordance with this Section is the cause of such loss or charge (except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee is the obligor and has defaulted thereon or as provided in subsection (b) of this Section). The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any Eligible Investment made with funds on deposit in the Collection Account prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the Master Servicer to provide timely written investment direction. In the absence of written investment direction, the Indenture Trustee shall invest funds in the Accounts in the Eligible Investment described in clause (vi) of the definition thereof.

(d) The Indenture Trustee may invest and reinvest funds in the Accounts held by the Indenture Trustee (other than the Policy Payments Account), to the fullest extent practicable, in such manner as the Master Servicer shall from time to time direct as set forth in Section 5.06(a), but only in one or more Eligible Investments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, funds in the Distribution Account may remain uninvested for one Business Day.

(e) All net income and gain realized from investment of, and all earnings on, funds deposited in the Collection Account through the second day preceding the day on which such funds are to be deposited in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition to the Master Servicing Fee) and all net income and gain realized from investment of, and all earnings on, funds deposited (i) in the Collection Account from the day preceding the day on which such funds are to be deposited in the Distribution Account and (ii) in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, and shall be subject to withdrawal on or before the first Business Day of the month following the month in which such income or gain is received. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account and the Indenture Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution Account, as the case may be, the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any Eligible Investment held therein which is in excess of the income and gain thereon immediately upon realization of such loss from its own funds, without any right to reimbursement therefore.

Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust or the Noteholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action by the Master Servicer in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties of the Master Servicer or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, further, that this provision shall not be construed to entitle the Master Servicer to indemnity in the event that amounts advanced by the Master Servicer to retire any Senior Lien exceed Net Recoveries realized with respect to the related Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.

This paragraph shall apply to the Master Servicer solely in its capacity as Master Servicer hereunder and in no other capacities.

Section 6.04 Master Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.02 above, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, the other activities of the Master Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature carried on by the Master Servicer or its subsidiaries or Affiliates at the date of this Agreement or (ii) upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) the Master Servicer has proposed a successor servicer to the Indenture Trustee in writing and such proposed successor servicer is reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee; (b) each Rating Agency shall have delivered a letter to the Indenture Trustee prior to the appointment of the successor servicer stating that the proposed appointment of such successor servicer as Master Servicer hereunder will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of

the then current rating of the Notes; and (c) such proposed successor servicer is reasonably acceptable to the Insurer, as evidenced by a letter to the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that no such resignation by the Master Servicer shall become effective until such successor servicer or, in the case of (i) above, the Indenture Trustee shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder or the Indenture Trustee shall have designated a successor servicer in accordance with Section 7.02 below. Any such resignation shall not relieve the Master Servicer of responsibility for any of the obligations specified in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 below as obligations that survive the resignation or termination of the Master Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer pursuant to clause (i) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer. As a condition to the effectiveness of any such resignation, at least 15 calendar days prior to the effective date of such resignation, the Master Servicer shall provide (x) written notice to the Depositor of any successor pursuant to this Section and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a successor master servicer.

The provisions of this Section 6.06 shall survive termination of the Agreement or the earlier of the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be. In addition, the Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7 of the Indenture.

ARTICLE VII.

	(iii) failure by the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer set forth in this Agreement (except with respect to a failure related to a Limited Exchange Act Reporting Obligation) which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Master Servicer; provided that the thirty-day cure period shall not apply to the failure to comply with the requirements set forth in Section 6.02, Section 6.04, Section 7.02 or Article X, for which the grace period shall not exceed the lesser of ten (10) calendar days or such period in which the applicable Exchange Act Report can be filed timely (without taking into account any extensions); or

	(iv) the entry against the Master Servicer of a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, conservatorship, receivership, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

	(v) the Master Servicer shall voluntarily go into liquidation, consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or similar person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property, or a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator or


	similar person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged, unbonded or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

	(vi) so long as the Seller is the Master Servicer, any failure of the Seller to repurchase or substitute Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for Defective Mortgage Loans as required pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Agreement; or

	(vii) any breach by the Master Servicer of a representation or warranty made in Section 2.03 herein, which breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders or the Insurer and continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the giving of written notice of such failure to the Master Servicer by the Indenture Trustee, or to the Master Servicer and the Indenture Trustee by the Insurer or Holders of Notes evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the aggregate Note Principal Balance (or such longer period, with the consent of the Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), as may be reasonably necessary to remedy such breach, provided that the Master Servicer has commenced and diligently pursues such remedy to completion);

	(viii) the occurrence of a draw under the Insurance Policy that remains unreimbursed for a period of 90 days; or

	(ix) the Master Servicer is not rated at least investment grade by either Standard & Poor’s or Xxxxx’x; then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Servicing Termination shall not have been remedied within the applicable grace period, (x) subject to the succeeding paragraph, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the direction of the Insurer or the Holders of Notes representing not less than 51% of the Note Principal Balance (with the consent of the Insurer, so long as no Insurer Default exists), by notice then given in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Holders of Notes), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer as servicer under this Agreement. Any such notice to the Master Servicer shall also be given to each Rating Agency, the Depositor, the Trust and the Insurer. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee pursuant to and under this Section 7.01; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of each Mortgage Loan and related documents or otherwise. The Master

Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Master Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Indenture Trustee for the administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the Master Servicer and to be deposited by it in the Collection Account, or that have been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account or thereafter received by the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Mortgage Files to the successor Master Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be paid by the predecessor Master Servicer (or if the predecessor Master Servicer is the Indenture Trustee, the initial Master Servicer) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.

In addition, if during the period that the Depositor is required to file Exchange Act Reports with respect to the Trust, the Master Servicer shall fail to observe or perform any of the obligations that constitute a Limited Exchange Act Reporting Obligation or the obligations set forth in Section 3.10, Section 7.05 or Section 10.01(a)(i) and (ii), and such failure continues for the lesser of 10 calendar days or such period in which the applicable Exchange Act Report can be filed timely (without taking into account any extensions), so long as such failure shall not have been remedied, the Indenture Trustee shall, but only at the direction of the Depositor and with the written consent of the Insurer, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Noteholder hereunder. The Depositor shall not be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer pursuant to subparagraph (iii) if a failure of the Master Servicer to identify a Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB was attributable solely to the role or functions of such Subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans other than the Mortgage Loans.

Section 7.02 Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

(a) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or resigns pursuant to 6.04 herein, the Indenture Trustee or a previously agreed upon successor Master Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof. As compensation therefor, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as the Master Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the Indenture Trustee is unwilling to act as successor Master Servicer, or (ii) if the Indenture Trustee is legally unable so to act, the Indenture Trustee may with the consent of the Insurer, and shall, at the direction of the Insurer, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution, bank or other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided that any such successor Master Servicer shall be acceptable to the Insurer, as evidenced by the Insurer’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and

provided, further, that the appointment of any such successor Master Servicer will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Notes by the Rating Agencies. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, unless the Indenture Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Indenture Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Indenture to the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be held liable for any Master Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount necessary to induce any successor servicer to act as successor servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for therein. At least 15 calendar days prior to the effective date of any such appointment, (x) the Master Servicer shall provide written notice to the Depositor of such successor servicer and (y) such successor servicer shall provide to the Depositor in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a successor servicer. In the event that the Indenture Trustee assumes the duties of the Master Servicer as set forth herein, the Indenture Trustee shall provide the Depositor in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a Successor Master Servicer. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive compensation out of payments on Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the compensation which the Master Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to Section 3.09 herein (or such lesser compensation as the Indenture Trustee and such successor shall agree). The appointment of a successor Master Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as Master Servicer to pay any deductible under any insurance policy obtained and maintained pursuant to Section 3.05 herein or to indemnify the Trust and the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06), nor shall any successor Master Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer or for any breach by such Master Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement. The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

(b) Any successor, including the Indenture Trustee, to the Master Servicer as servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer (i) continue to service and administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the Trust, and (ii) maintain in force an insurance policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same extent as the Master Servicer maintained as of the date hereof, as the same may have been increased from time to time. No successor servicer shall have the right to retain and commingle payments on, and collections in respect of, the Mortgage Loans with its own funds pursuant to Section 3.02(d) unless (i) consented to in writing by the Insurer and (ii) such commingling will not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings of the Notes, without regard to the Insurance Policy, as evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency.

Section 7.03 Waiver of Defaults. The Insurer or the Majority Noteholders with the consent of the Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) may, on behalf of all Noteholders, waive any events permitting removal of the Master Servicer as servicer pursuant to this Article VII, provided, however, that the Majority Noteholders may not waive a default in

making a required payment on a Note without the consent of the Holder of such Note. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist and any Event of Servicing Termination arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so waived. Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the Indenture Trustee to the Rating Agencies.

Section 7.04 Notification to Noteholders. Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer pursuant to this Article VII or Section 6.04 above, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Note Register, the Insurer and each Rating Agency.

Section 7.05 Successor Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee and any Successor Master Servicer in effecting (1) the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder including, without limitation, notifying Mortgagors of the assignment of the servicing functions, if required, and providing the Indenture Trustee and Successor’ Master Servicer, as applicable, all documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable it to perform the Master Servicer’s functions hereunder and (2) the transfer to the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Master Servicer, as applicable, of all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Notes or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor any other Successor Master Servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused solely by (i) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, (ii) the failure of the Master Servicer to cooperate as required by this Indenture, (iii) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver the Mortgage Loan data to the Indenture Trustee as required by this Indenture or (iv) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer; provided that the Successor Master Servicer uses its commercially reasonable best efforts (1) to have the predecessor Master Servicer deliver all items and perform all obligations it is required to deliver and perform and (2) to perform the servicing in light of the information and documents that have been delivered; provided further that the Indenture Trustee or any other Successor Master Servicer shall institute and prosecute legal actions against the predecessor Master Servicer as and if directed by the Insurer, at the Insurer’s expense.

The Successor Master Servicer will not be responsible for delays attributable solely to the Master Servicer’s failure to deliver information, defects in the information supplied by the Master Servicer or other circumstances beyond the control of the Successor Master Servicer; provided that the Successor Master Servicer uses its commercially reasonable best efforts (1) to have the predecessor Master Servicer deliver all items and perform all obligations it is required to deliver and perform and (2) to perform the servicing in light of the information and documents that have been delivered. The Successor Master Servicer will make arrangements with the Master Servicer for the prompt and safe transfer of, and the Master Servicer shall provide to the Successor Master Servicer, all necessary servicing files and records, including (as deemed necessary by the Successor Master Servicer at such time): (i) microfiche loan documentation, (ii) servicing system tapes, (iii) Mortgage Loan payment history, (iv) collections history and (v) the

trial balances, as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding conversion to the Successor Master Servicer, reflecting all applicable Mortgage Loan information.

The Successor Master Servicer shall have no responsibility and shall not be in default hereunder nor incur any liability for any failure, error, malfunction or any delay in carrying out any of its duties under this Indenture if any such failure or delay results solely from the Successor Master Servicer acting in accordance with information prepared or supplied by the predecessor Master Servicer (or the Indenture Trustee if the Successor Master Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Indenture Trustee) or the failure of the predecessor Master Servicer (or the Indenture Trustee if the Successor Master Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Indenture Trustee) to prepare or provide such information. The Successor Master Servicer shall have no responsibility, shall not be in default and shall incur no liability (i) for any act or failure to act by the predecessor Master Servicer, the Issuer, or the Indenture Trustee (except to the extent any such Person is an Affiliate of the Successor Master Servicer), (ii) for any inaccuracy or omission in a notice or communication received by the Successor Master Servicer from the predecessor Master Servicer, the Issuer, or the Indenture Trustee (except to the extent any such Person is an Affiliate of the Successor Master Servicer), or (iii) which is solely due to or results from the invalidity or unenforceability of any Mortgage Loan under applicable law or the breach or the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

Any such Successor Master Servicer shall provide to the Depositor in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a successor servicer.

ARTICLE VIII.

TERMINATION

Section 8.01 Termination.

(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Indenture Trustee to make certain payments to Noteholders after the Final Payment Date and the obligation of the Master Servicer to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon notice to the Indenture Trustee of the later of (A) payment in full of all amounts owing to the Insurer unless the Insurer shall otherwise consent and (B) the earliest of (i) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust; (ii) the optional purchase by the Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans as described below and (iii) the Final Payment Date.

(b) The Master Servicer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement on any Payment Date on or after the Optional Termination Date by purchasing, on the next succeeding Payment Date, all of the outstanding Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at a price equal to the sum of the outstanding Pool Principal Balance, accrued and unpaid interest and thereon at the weighted average of the Loan Rates through the end of the Due Period preceding the final Payment Date

and any LIBOR Carryover Interest Amount that remains unpaid, together with all amounts due and owing to the Insurer (the “Termination Price”).

In connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution Account all amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account (less amounts permitted to be withdrawn by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.03), which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately preceding such purchase.

Any such purchase shall be accomplished by deposit into the Distribution Account on the Determination Date before such Payment Date of the Termination Price.

(c) Notice of any termination, specifying the Payment Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Payment Date) upon which the Noteholders may surrender their Notes to the Indenture Trustee for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Indenture Trustee (upon receipt of written directions from the Master Servicer, if the Master Servicer is exercising its right to transfer of the Mortgage Loans, given not later than the first day of the month preceding the month of such final distribution) to the Insurer and to the Master Servicer by letter to such parties not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution specifying (i) the Payment Date upon which final distribution of the Notes will be made upon presentation and surrender of Notes at the office or agency of the Indenture Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final distribution and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Payment Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Notes at the office or agency of the Indenture Trustee therein specified.

(d) Upon presentation and surrender of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of the Notes on the Payment Date for such final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage Interests of their respective Notes and to the extent that funds are available for such purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to be distributed to Noteholders pursuant to Section 5.01 for such Payment Date. On the final Payment Date prior to having made the distributions called for above, the Indenture Trustee shall, based upon the information set forth in the Indenture Trustee’s Certificate and Statement to Noteholders for such Payment Date, withdraw from the Distribution Account and remit to the Insurer the lesser of (x) the amount available for distribution on such final Payment Date, net of any portion thereof necessary to pay the Noteholders pursuant to Section 5.01(a) and any amounts owing to the Indenture Trustee in respect of the Indenture Trustee Fee and (y) the unpaid amounts due and owing to the Insurer pursuant to the Insurance Agreement.

(e) In the event that all of the Noteholders shall not surrender their Notes for final payment and cancellation on or before such final Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly following such date cause all funds in the Distribution Account not distributed in final distribution to Noteholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining Noteholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account for the benefit of such Noteholders and the Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer has exercised its right to purchase the Mortgage Loans) or the Indenture Trustee (in any other case) shall give a second written notice to the remaining Noteholders to surrender their Notes for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto.

Section 10.02 Form 10-D Filings.

(a) Although the Depositor is responsible under Regulation AB for filing the Form 10-D, the Indenture Trustee hereby agrees that it shall prepare for filing and file within fifteen (15) days after each Payment Date (subject to permitted extensions under the Exchange Act) with the SEC with respect to the Trust, a Form 10-D with copies of the Monthly Report and, to the extent delivered to the Indenture Trustee, no later than ten (10) days following the Payment Date, such other information identified by the Depositor or Master Servicer, in writing, to be filed with the SEC (such other information, the “Additional Designated Information”). If the Depositor or Master Servicer directs that any Additional Designated Information is to be filed with any Form 10-D, the Depositor or Master Servicer, as the case may be, shall specify the Item on Form 10-D to which such information is responsive and, with respect to any Exhibit to be filed on Form 10-D, the Exhibit number.
