Section 1.04. Representations and Warranties of the Bank. (a) The Bank hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor that as of the Closing Date or any Transfer Date that: (i) The Bank is a federal savings bank duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America and has full power and authority to own its property, to carry on its business as presently conducted, and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement; (ii) the execution and delivery by the Bank of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Bank; neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions hereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the provisions of any law, governmental rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on the Bank or its properties or the charter or bylaws of the Bank; 5 (iii) the execution, delivery and performance by the Bank of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any state, federal or other governmental authority or agency, except such as has been obtained, given, effected or taken prior to the date hereof; (iv) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Bank and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Depositor, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Bank enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except as such enforceability may be subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors generally, (B) general principles of equity regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and (C) any notice, order, directive or similar action by a federal banking regulatory authority that prohibits or enjoins performance of this Agreement by the Bank; and (v) there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Bank, threatened or likely to be asserted against or affecting the Bank, before or by any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body (A) with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (B) with respect to any other matter which in the judgment of the Bank will be determined adversely to the Bank and will if determined adversely to the Bank materially and adversely affect it or its business, assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise, or adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement. (b) The representations and warranties of each Transferor with respect to the Transferred Mortgage Loans in the related Transfer Agreement were made as of the date of transfer under such Transfer Agreement. To the extent that any fact, condition or event with respect to a Transferred Mortgage Loan constitutes a breach of both (i) a representation or warranty of the Transferor under the related Transfer Agreement and (ii) a representation or warranty of the Bank under this Agreement, the only right or remedy of the Depositor shall be the right to enforce the obligations of the Transferor under any applicable representation or warranty made by it. The Depositor acknowledges and agrees that the representations and warranties of the Bank in this Section 1.04(b) are applicable only to facts, conditions or events that do not constitute a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Transferor in the related Transfer Agreement. The Bank shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any breach of a representation or warranty made by it with respect to the Transferred Mortgage Loans if the fact, condition or event constituting such breach also constitutes a breach of a representation or warranty made by a Transferor in the related Transfer Agreement, without regard to whether the Transferor fulfills its contractual obligations in respect of such representation or warranty; provided, however, that if the Transferor fulfills its obligations under the provisions of the related Transfer Agreement by substituting for the affected Transferred Mortgage Loan a mortgage loan which is not a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Bank shall, in exchange for such substitute mortgage loan, provide the Depositor (a) with the applicable Purchase Price for the affected Transferred Mortgage Loan or (b) within the two year period following the Closing Date or the applicable Transfer Date, with a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such affected Transferred Mortgage Loan. 6 Subject to the foregoing, the Bank represents and warrants upon delivery of the Transferred Mortgage Loans to the Depositor hereunder and as of any transfer Date, as to each, that: (i) The information set forth with respect to the Transferred Mortgage Loans on the Mortgage Loan Schedule provides an accurate listing of the Transferred Mortgage Loans, and the information with respect to each Transferred Mortgage Loan on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is true and correct in all material respects at the date or dates respecting which such information is given; (ii) There are no defaults (other than delinquency in payment) in complying with the terms of any Mortgage, and the Bank has no notice as to any taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing but which have not been paid; (iii) Except in the case of Cooperative Loans, each Mortgage requires all buildings or other improvements on the related Mortgaged Property to be insured by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the related Mortgaged Property is located pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of the guidelines of FNMA or FHLMC. If upon origination of the Transferred Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property was in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Flood Insurance Administration is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Flood Insurance Administration. Each Mortgage obligates the related Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor's cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, each Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a "master" or "blanket" hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Depositor upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (iv) Each Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or recision; 7 (v) Each Mortgage evidences a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the related Mortgaged Property (including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property). The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to: (1) liens of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable and, if the related Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, any lien for common charges permitted by statute, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording of such Mortgage acceptable to mortgage lending institutions in the area in which the related Mortgaged Property is located and specifically referred to in the lender's Title Insurance Policy or attorney's opinion of title and abstract of title delivered to the originator of such Transferred Mortgage Loan, and (3) such other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to, and delivered to the Trustee in connection with, a Transferred Mortgage Loan establishes a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien on the property described therein and the Depositor has full right to sell and assign the same to the Trustee; (vi) Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment of the Transferred Mortgage Loans to the Depositor, the Bank was the sole owner of record and holder of each Transferred Mortgage Loan, and the Bank had good and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and sell each Transferred Mortgage Loan to the Depositor free and clear, except as described in paragraph (v) above, of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority, subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each Transferred Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement; (vii) Each Transferred Mortgage Loan other than any Cooperative Loan is covered by either (i) an attorney's opinion of title and abstract of title the form and substance of which is generally acceptable to mortgage lending institutions originating mortgage loans in the locality where the related Mortgaged Property is located or (ii) an ALTA mortgagee Title Insurance Policy or other generally acceptable form of policy of insurance, issued by a title insurer qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the originator of the Transferred Mortgage Loan, and its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Transferred Mortgage Loan (subject only to the exceptions described in paragraph (v) above). If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit located in a state in which a title insurer will generally issue an endorsement, then the related Title Insurance Policy contains an endorsement insuring the validity of the creation of the condominium form of ownership with respect to the project in which such unit is located. With respect to any Title Insurance Policy, the originator is the sole insured of such mortgagee Title Insurance Policy, such mortgagee Title Insurance Policy is in full force and effect and will inure to the benefit of the Depositor upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, no claims have been made under such mortgagee Title Insurance Policy and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Bank, has done, by act or omission, anything that would impair the coverage of such mortgagee Title Insurance Policy; 8 (viii) To the best of the Bank's knowledge, no foreclosure action is being threatened or commenced with respect to any Transferred Mortgage Loan. There is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of any Mortgaged Property (or, in the case of a Cooperative Loan, the related cooperative unit) and each such property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty, so as to have a material adverse effect on the value of the related Mortgaged Property as security for the related Transferred Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended; (ix) There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage; (x) Each Transferred Mortgage Loan was originated by a savings and loan association, savings bank, commercial bank, credit union, insurance company, or similar institution which is supervised and examined by a Federal or State authority, or by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act; (xi) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law, including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to each Transferred Mortgage Loan have been complied with; and (xii) Each Transferred Mortgage Loan is a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code and Treas. Reg.ss.1.860G-2. (xiii) The information set forth in the Prepayment Charge Schedule included as part of the Mortgage Loan Schedule at Schedule A hereto (including the Prepayment Charge Summary attached thereto) is complete, true and correct in all material respects on the date or dates on which such information is furnished and each Prepayment Charge is permissible and enforceable in accordance with its terms (except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws affecting creditor's rights generally or the collectibility thereof may be limited due to acceleration in connection with foreclosure) under applicable state law; (xiv) No Mortgage Loan was at the time of origination subject to the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or any comparable state law; (xv) No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to finance single-premium credit insurance policies; 9 (xvi) The Servicers for each Mortgage Loan will accurately and fully report its borrower credit files to all three credit repositories in a timely manner; and (xvii) No Mortgage Loan imposes a Prepayment Charge for a term in excess of five years. (c) The Bank represents and warrants to the Depositor upon the delivery to the Depositor on the Closing Date or on any Transfer Date of the Originated Mortgage Loans originated or acquired by the Bank and listed on Schedule B hereto, but solely as to each Originated Mortgage Loan listed on Schedule B hereto, that, as of the Closing Date or any Transfer Date: (i) The information set forth with respect to the Originated Mortgage Loans on the Mortgage Loan Schedule provides an accurate listing of the Originated Mortgage Loans, and the information with respect to each Originated Mortgage Loan on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is true and correct in all material respects at the date or dates respecting which such information is given; (ii) There are no defaults (other than delinquency in payment) in complying with the terms of any Mortgage, and the Bank has no notice as to any taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing but which have not been paid; (iii) Except in the case of Cooperative Loans, each mortgage requires all buildings or other improvements on the related Mortgaged Property to be insured by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of the guidelines of FNMA or FHLMC. If upon origination of the Originated Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property was in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Flood Insurance Administration is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Flood Insurance Administration. Each Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor's cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a "master" or "blanket" hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Depositor upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Lehman Capital or the Bank have not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor's having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Lehman Capital or the Bank; 10 (iv) Each Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. Lehman Capital or the Bank have not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor's failure to perform such action would cause the Originated Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has Lehman Capital or the Bank waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor; (v) Each Mortgage evidences a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the related Mortgaged Property (including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property). The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to: (1) liens of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable and, if the related Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, any lien for common charges permitted by statute, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording of such Mortgage acceptable to mortgage lending institutions in the area in which the related Mortgaged Property is located and specifically referred to in the lender's Title Insurance Policy or attorney's opinion of title and abstract of title delivered to the originator of such Originated Mortgage Loan, and (3) such other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to, and delivered to the Trustee in connection with, an Originated Mortgage Loan establishes a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien on the property described therein and the Depositor has full right to sell and assign the same to the Trustee; (vi) Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment of the Originated Mortgage Loans to the Depositor, the Bank was the sole owner of record and holder of each Originated Mortgage Loan, and the Bank had good and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and sell each Originated Mortgage Loan to the Depositor free and clear, except as described in paragraph (v) above, of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority, subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each Originated Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement; (vii) Each Originated Mortgage Loan other than any Cooperative Loan is covered by either (i) an attorney's opinion of title and abstract of title the form and substance of which is generally acceptable to mortgage lending institutions originating mortgage loans in the locality where the related Mortgaged Property is located or (ii) an ALTA mortgagee Title Insurance Policy or other generally acceptable form of policy of insurance, issued by a title insurer qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the originator of the Originated Mortgage Loan, and its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Originated Mortgage Loan (subject only to the exceptions described in paragraph (v) above). If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit located in a state in which a title insurer will generally issue an endorsement, then the related Title Insurance Policy contains an endorsement insuring the validity of the creation of the condominium form of ownership with respect to the project in which such unit is located. With respect to any Title Insurance Policy, the originator is the sole insured of such mortgagee Title Insurance Policy, such mortgagee Title Insurance Policy is in full force and effect and will inure to the benefit of the Depositor upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, no claims have been made under such mortgagee Title Insurance Policy and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Bank, has done, by act or omission, anything that would impair the coverage of such mortgagee Title Insurance Policy; 11 (viii) To the best of the Bank's knowledge, no foreclosure action is being threatened or commenced with respect to any Originated Mortgage Loan. There is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of any Mortgaged Property (or, in the case of a Cooperative Loan, the related cooperative unit) and each such property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty, so as to have a material adverse effect on the value of the related Mortgaged Property as security for the related Originated Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended; (ix) There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage; (x) Each Originated Mortgage Loan was originated by a savings and loan association, savings bank, commercial bank, credit union, insurance company, or similar institution which is supervised and examined by a Federal or State authority, or by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act; (xi) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law, including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to each Originated Mortgage Loan have been complied with; (xii) Each Originated Mortgage Loan is a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code and Treas.

No portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes; (xx) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms.

There is no homestead or other exemption available to the related Mortgagor which would materially interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage subject to the applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent with respect to bankruptcy and rights of redemption.

The Originated Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Originated Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature; (xxxi) Any future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee's consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Originated Mortgage Loan; (xxxii) The origination and collection practices used with respect to the Originated Mortgage Loan have been in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, and have been in all respects in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. With respect to escrow deposits and escrow payments, all such payments are in the possession of the Bank and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All escrow payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law. An escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or escrow payments or other charges or payments due the Bank have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note.

Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state and local law has been properly paid and credited; (xxxiii) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgage Property signed prior to the approval of the Originated Mortgage Loan application by a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by the Bank, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof; and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Originated Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Title XI of the Federal Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Originated Mortgage Loan was originated; 15 (xxxiv) The Mortgagor has not notified the Bank, and the Bank has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940; (xxxv) The Mortgaged Property is free from any and all toxic or hazardous substances and there exists no violation of any local, state or federal environmental law, rule or regulation. There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving any Mortgaged Property of which the Bank is aware in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; and to the best of the Bank's knowledge, nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation; (xxxvi) The Originated Mortgage Loan does not contain a provision permitting or requiring conversion to a fixed interest rate Mortgage Loan; (xxxvii) No Originated Mortgage Loan was made in connection with (i) the construction or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or (ii) facilitating the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property; (xxxviii) No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed that has resulted or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any applicable pool insurance policy, special hazard insurance policy, Primary Mortgage Loan Insurance Policy or bankruptcy bond, irrespective of the cause of such failure of coverage. In connection with the placement of any such insurance, no commission, fee, or other compensation has been or will be received by the Bank or any designee of the Bank or any corporation in which the Bank or any officer, director, or employee had a financial interest at the time of placement of such insurance; (xxxix) Each original Mortgage was recorded and, except for those Originated Mortgage Loans subject to the MERS identification system, all subsequent assignments of the original Mortgage (other than the assignment to the Depositor) have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdictions wherein such recordation is necessary to perfect the lien thereof as against creditors of the Bank, or is in the process of being recorded; and (xl) The Bank has not transferred the Originated Mortgage Loans to the Depositor, and the Depositor has not transferred the Originated Mortgage Loans to the Trust Fund, with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors. 16 It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 1.04(b) and 1.04(c) herein shall survive the Closing Date and any Transfer Date. Upon discovery by either the Bank or the Depositor of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties (excluding a breach of clause (xiii) under Section 1.04(b) or this Section 1.04(c)) that adversely and materially affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, and, in the case of Mortgage Loans other than the Originated Mortgage Loans, that does not also constitute a breach of a representation or warranty of a Transferor in the related Transfer Agreement, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other party. Within 60 days of the discovery of any such breach, the Bank shall either (a) cure such breach in all material respects, (b) repurchase such Mortgage Loan or any property acquired in respect thereof from the Depositor at the applicable Purchase Price or Transfer Price (as set forth in the related Transfer Supplement) or (c) within the two year period following the Closing Date or any Transfer Date, as applicable, substitute a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan.

Section 1.05. Grant Clause. It is intended that the conveyance of the Bank's right, title and interest in and to Mortgage Loans and other property conveyed pursuant to this Agreement on the Closing Date or any Transfer Date shall constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property and not a grant of a security interest to secure a loan. However, if any such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (a) the rights and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (b) the Bank hereby grants to the Depositor a first priority security interest in all of the Bank's right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, such Mortgage Loans and other property; and (c) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. Section 1.06. Assignment by Depositor. The Depositor shall have the right, upon notice to but without the consent of the Bank, to assign, in whole or in part, its interest under this Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, and the Trustee then shall succeed to all rights of the Depositor under this Agreement.

No such amendment effected pursuant to clause (iii) of the preceding sentence shall adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or the NIMS Insurer. Any such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect any Certificateholder or the NIMS Insurer if the Trustee receives the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer to such amendment and written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such amendment will not cause such Rating Agency to reduce the then current rating assigned to the Certificates or the NIM Securities (and any Opinion of Counsel requested by the Trustee in connection with any such amendment may rely expressly on such confirmation as the basis therefor).

For purposes of this paragraph, references to "Certificateholder" or "Certificateholders" shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the related Certificates Owners. 18 (c) (c) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 2.03 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
