Prior to the first anniversary date of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and each Servicer a Final Certification evidencing the completeness of the Trustee Mortgage Loan File for each Mortgage Loan, with any applicable exceptions noted on such Certification.

(e)

No later than the fifth Business Day of each month, commencing the first month following the month in which the Closing Date occurs, the Custodian shall deliver to each Servicer (or such other party responsible for recordation of any Mortgages and/or assignments as specified in the related Servicing Agreement), and the Depositor in hard copy format (and, if requested, in electronic format), the Exceptions List, updated to remove exceptions cured since the Closing Date.  In addition, such monthly reports shall list any document with respect to which the related Seller delivered a copy certifying that the original had been sent for recording, until such time as the related Seller or Servicer delivers to the Trustee (or Custodian) the original of such document or a copy thereof certified by the appropriate public recording office.

(f)

In lieu of taking possession of the Trustee Mortgage Loan Files and reviewing such files itself, the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 9.11 hereof, appoint one or more Custodians to hold the Trustee Mortgage Loan Files on its behalf and to review them as provided in this Section 2.02.  The Depositor shall, upon notice of the appointment of a Custodian, deliver or cause to be delivered all documents to the Custodian that would otherwise be deliverable to the Trustee.  In such event, the Trustee shall obtain from each such Custodian, within the specified times, the Trust Receipt and the Final Certifications with respect to those Mortgage Loans held and reviewed by such Custodian and may deliver (or cause the Custodian to deliver) such Certifications and electronically deliver Reports to the Depositor in satisfaction of the Trustee’s obligation to prepare such Certifications and Reports (it being understood that absent actual knowledge to the contrary, the Trustee may conclusively rely on the certifications provided by such Custodian).  The Trustee shall notify the Custodian of any notices delivered to the Trustee with respect to those Trustee Mortgage Loan Files.

(g)

To the extent a Servicer requests the consent of the Trust with respect to any servicing-related matter for which the applicable Servicer is required to seek consent of the Trustee under the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Trustee upon written request and in consultation with the Master Servicer, shall promptly evaluate such request for consent in the best interest of the Trust and the Certificateholders, and grant or withhold such consent accordingly; provided, however, that in connection with any such determination, the Trustee may request and require receipt of an Opinion of Counsel, at the sole expense of the Servicer, that such servicing-related matter will not adversely affect the Trust or the Certificateholders and will not adversely affect the status of any REMIC as a REMIC.

Section 2.03

Purchase of Mortgage Loans by a Servicer, a Seller or GSMC and Purchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Depositor.  

(a)  Servicer Breach.  In addition to taking any action required pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof and without limiting the Master Servicer’s obligations under Section 7.01 upon discovery by a Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee of any breach by the Servicer of any representation, warranty or covenant under the related Servicing Agreement, which breach materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein (it being understood that any such breach shall be deemed to have materially and adversely affected the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein if the Trust incurs or may incur a loss as a result of such breach), the party discovering such breach shall notify the other parties thereof and shall promptly request that the Servicer cure such breach, and if the Servicer does not cure such breach in all material respects by the end of the cure period set forth in the related Servicing Agreement, shall request that the Servicer purchase such Mortgage Loan and if the Servicer does not so purchase such Mortgage Loan shall enforce the Servicer’s obligation under such Servicing Agreement to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if such breach results in or is a Qualification Defect, such cure or purchase must take place within 75 days of the Defect Discovery Date.

(b)

Sellers’ Breach.  Upon discovery by a Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee or notice to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee of any defective or missing document (as described in the related Sale Agreement) in a Trustee Mortgage Loan File, or of any breach by any Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under the related Sale Agreement, which defect or breach materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein (it being understood that any such defect or breach shall be deemed to have materially and adversely affected the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein if the Trust incurs a loss as a result of such defect or breach), the parties discovering or receiving notice of such defect or breach shall notify the Trustee.  Upon discovering or receipt of notice of such breach, the Trustee shall promptly request that such Seller cure such defect or breach and, if such Seller does not cure such defect or breach in all material respects by the end of the cure period specified in such Sale Agreement and any extension of the cure period granted as permitted by such Sale Agreement, shall enforce such Seller’s obligation under such Sale Agreement to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee.

In the event any Servicer has breached a representation or warranty under the related Servicing Agreement that is substantially identical to a representation or warranty breached by a Seller, the Trustee shall first proceed against such Servicer.  If the Servicer does not within 60 days (or such other period provided in the related Servicing Agreement) after notification of the breach, either take steps to cure such breach (which may be evidenced by a certificate asking for an extension of time in which to effectuate a cure) or complete the purchase of the Mortgage Loan, then (i) the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the related Sale Agreement to cure such breach or to purchase the Mortgage Loan from the Trust, and (ii) such Seller shall succeed to the rights of the Trustee to enforce the obligations of the Servicer to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan under the Servicing Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if any breach of a representation or warranty by the Servicer or of a Seller is a Qualification Defect, a cure or purchase must take place within 75 days of the Defect Discovery Date.

(c)

GSMC Breach.  Upon its discovery or notice to it of any breach by GSMC of any representation, warranty or covenant under any Assignment Agreement which materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein (it being understood that any such defect or breach shall be deemed to have materially and adversely affected the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein if the Trust incurs a loss as a result of such defect or breach), the Securities Administrator shall promptly request that GSMC cure such breach and, if GSMC does not cure such breach in all material respects within 90 days from the date on which it is notified of the breach, shall enforce GSMC’s obligation under such Assignment Agreement to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee.

(d)

Depositor Breach.  Within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or receipt of notice by the Depositor of the breach of any of its representations or warranties set forth in Section 2.04 hereof with respect to any Mortgage Loan, which breach materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein (it being understood that any such defect or breach shall be deemed to have materially and adversely affected the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein if the Trust incurs a loss as a result of such defect or breach), the Depositor shall (i) cure such breach in all material respects, or (ii) purchase the Mortgage Loan from the Trustee.

In the event the Depositor has breached a representation or warranty under Section 2.04 hereof that is substantially identical to a representation or warranty breached by a Servicer or Seller, the Securities Administrator shall first proceed against the applicable Servicer or Seller, as appropriate.  If such Servicer or Seller, as appropriate, does not within the cure period set forth in the related Sale Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable, either take steps to cure such breach (which may be evidenced by a certificate asking for an extension of time in which to effectuate a cure) or complete the purchase of the Mortgage Loan, then (i) the Securities Administrator shall enforce the obligations of the Depositor to cure such breach or to purchase the Mortgage Loan from the Trust, and (ii) the Depositor shall succeed to the rights of the Securities Administrator to enforce the obligations of such Servicer or Seller to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan under the related Servicing Agreement or Sale Agreement, as applicable, with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if so requested by the Depositor, which request shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator within such cure period, the Securities Administrator shall, in lieu of enforcing such cure or purchase obligation against such Servicer or Seller, as applicable, permit the Depositor to substitute for such Mortgage Loan a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan plus any applicable Substitution Adjustment Amount.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if any breach of a representation or warranty by the Depositor is a Qualification Defect, a cure, purchase or substitution must take place within 75 days of the Defect Discovery Date.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right to substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) shall be subject to the additional limitation that no substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan shall be made unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator (at the expense of the Depositor) that, under current law, such substitution will not adversely affect the status of any REMIC as such or result in the imposition of any tax upon any REMIC under the Code.

(e)

Purchase Price.  The purchase of any Mortgage Loan from the Trust pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be effected for its Purchase Price.  If the Purchaser is the related Servicer, the Purchase Price shall be deposited in the Collection Account.  If the Purchaser is other than such Servicer, an amount equal to the Purchase Price shall be deposited into the Certificate Account.  Within five Business Days of its receipt of such funds or certification by the appropriate Servicer that such funds have been deposited in the related Collection Account, the Trustee shall release or cause the applicable Custodian to release to the Purchaser or its designee the related Trustee Mortgage Loan File and, at the request of the Purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, in form as presented by the Purchaser and satisfactory to the Trustee, as shall be necessary to vest in the Purchaser title to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Trustee Mortgage Loan File.

(f)

Determination of Purchase Price.  The Securities Administrator will be responsible for determining the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan that is sold by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust or with respect to which provision is made for the escrow of funds pursuant to this Section 2.03 and shall at the time of any purchase or escrow certify such amounts to the Depositor; provided that the Securities Administrator may consult with the Servicer to determine the Purchase Price unless the Servicer is the Purchaser of such Mortgage Loan.  If, for whatever reason, the Securities Administrator shall determine that there is a miscalculation of the amount to be paid to the Trust, the Securities Administrator shall from monies in the REMIC I Distribution Account return any overpayment that the Trust received as a result of such miscalculation to the applicable Purchaser upon the discovery of such overpayment, and the Securities Administrator shall collect from the applicable Purchaser for deposit to the REMIC I Distribution Account any underpayment that resulted from such miscalculation upon the discovery of such underpayment.  Recovery may be made either directly or by set-off of all or any part of such underpayment against amounts owed by the Trust to such Purchaser.

(g)

Qualification Defect.  If (A) any person required to cure, purchase or substitute under subsections 2.03(a), 2.03(b), 2.03(c) or 2.03(d) of these Standard Terms or under a separate agreement for a Mortgage Loan affected by a Qualification Defect fails to perform within the earlier of (1) 75 days of the Defect Discovery Date or (2) the time limit set forth in those subsections or that separate agreement or (B) no person is obligated to cure or purchase a Mortgage Loan affected by a Qualification Defect, the Trustee shall dispose of such Mortgage Loan in such manner and for such price as the Trustee (in consultation with the Securities Administrator) determines are appropriate, provided that the removal of such Mortgage Loan occurs no later than the 90th day from the Defect Discovery Date.  If the Servicer is not the person required to cure or repurchase the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee may consult with such Servicer to determine an appropriate manner of disposition for and price for such Mortgage Loan.  It is the express intent of the parties that a Mortgage Loan affected by a Qualification Defect be removed from the Trust by the 90th day from the Defect Discovery Date so that the related REMIC(s) will continue to qualify as a REMIC.  Accordingly, the Trustee is not required to sell an affected Mortgage Loan for its fair market value nor shall the Trustee be required to make up any shortfall resulting from the sale of such Mortgage Loan.  The person failing to perform under subsections 2.03(a), 2.03(b), 2.03(c) or 2.03(d) of these Standard Terms shall be liable to the Trust for (i) any difference between (A) the Unpaid Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the Note Rate to the date of disposition and (B) the net amount received by the Trustee from the disposition (after the payment of related expenses), (ii) interest on such difference at the Note Rate (less the Administrative Cost Rate) from the date of disposition to the date of payment and (iii) any legal and other expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Trust in seeking such payments.  The Trustee shall pursue the legal remedies of the Trust on the Trust’s behalf and the Trust shall reimburse the Trustee for any legal or other expenses of the Trustee related to such pursuit not recovered from such person.

(h)

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Sale Agreement, and notwithstanding Section 2.03(b) hereof, if a Seller concludes at the end of any applicable cure period (and any extension thereof) that a document required to be included in the Trustee Mortgage Loan File cannot be found or replaced, the Seller may, in lieu of immediately repurchasing the related Mortgage Loan, provide (a) a Lost Document Affidavit and (b) Opinion of Counsel that the missing document does not constitute a Qualification Defect.  In that event, the Trustee shall not require such Seller immediately to repurchase the Mortgage Loan, but, if at any time there is any loss, liability, or damage, including reasonable attorney’s fees, resulting from the unavailability of any originals of any such documents or of a complete chain of intervening endorsements, as the case may be (collectively, “Losses”), the Trustee shall enforce the Seller’s obligation to indemnify the Trust for such Losses.  Expenses of the Trustee related to such enforcement and not recovered from the Seller shall be reimbursed it by the Trust.

(i)

Notices.  Any Person required under this Section 2.03 to give notice or to make a request of another Person to give notice shall give such notice or make such request promptly.

(j)

No Other Enforcement Obligation.  Except as specifically set forth herein, none of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall have any responsibility to enforce any provision of a Sale Agreement, Servicing Agreement or Assignment Agreement assigned to it hereunder, to oversee compliance thereof, or to take notice of any breach or default thereof.  No successor servicer shall have any obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan except to the extent specifically set forth in the Servicing Agreement signed by such substitute servicer.

Section 2.04

Representations and Warranties of the Depositor.  The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee that as of the Closing Date or as of such other date specifically provided herein:

(ii)

On each Servicer Remittance Date, each Servicer is required to remit to the Master Servicer all payments received during the related Due Period or Prepayment Period in respect of the Mortgage Loans serviced by it, less certain deductions as described herein and in each Servicing Agreement.  The Master Servicer will establish and maintain a separate account for the benefit of the Trustee (the “Master Servicer Account”) which account shall be an Eligible Account.  The amounts remitted by the Servicers to the Master Servicer on each Servicer Remittance Date shall be credited to the Master Servicer Account.

(iii)

On each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall remit to the Securities Administrator the amounts received from the Servicers on the related Servicer Remittance Date, net of any fees, expenses and other amounts payable to the Master Servicer hereunder.  The amounts remitted by the Master Servicer to the Securities Administrator will be credited to the REMIC I Distribution Account which will be established and maintained by the Securities Administrator.

(iv)

On each Distribution Date, amounts on deposit in the REMIC I Distribution Account (net of any expenses or amounts payable to the Securities Administrator under Section 11.04 hereof or to the Trustee under Sections 8.04 or 9.05 hereof) will be allocated by the Securities Administrator to pay amounts due on the REMIC I Interests, in accordance with Section 2.03(b) of the Trust Agreement.  On each Distribution Date, amounts on deposit in the REMIC II Distribution Account (net of any expenses payable to the Securities Administrator under Section 11.04 hereof or to the Trustee under Section 9.05 hereof) will be allocated by the Securities Administrator to pay amounts due on the REMIC II Interests, in accordance with Section 2.03(c).  Such amounts will then be passed through the REMIC II Distribution Account and to the Certificate Account for distribution to the Certificateholders in accordance with Section 3.01 of the Trust Agreement.

(b)

Accounts.  The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain one or more Eligible Accounts in its own name for the benefit of the Certificateholders.  The account held by the REMIC that directly owns the Mortgage Loans shall be the “REMIC I Distribution Account” and the account held by the REMIC that owns all interests in the REMIC I shall be the “REMIC II Distribution Account.”  In addition, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain an account for the benefit of the Certificateholders into which it shall deposit all amounts to be distributed on each Distribution Date to the Certificateholders (the “Certificate Account”).  Each account shall be an Eligible Account.  On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall deposit into the REMIC I Distribution Account the following amounts, to the extent not previously deposited therein:

(i)

all amounts remitted by the Master Servicer to the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(iii);

(ii)

all P&I Advances made pursuant to Section 3.05;

(iv)

the amount, if any, required to be deposited from any Reserve Fund, as provided in the Trust Agreement.

(c)

Deposits.  In the event a Servicer or the Securities Administrator has remitted to the Master Servicer Account or to the REMIC I Distribution Account, respectively, in error, any amount not required to be remitted in accordance with the definition of Available Distribution Amount, either may at any time direct the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, to withdraw such amount from such account for repayment to the Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, by delivery of an Officer’s Certificate to the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator which describes the amount deposited in error and the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall withdraw such amount from the Master Servicer or the REMIC I Distribution Account, as applicable, and pay such amount as directed, but only to the extent it agrees that the amount so described was deposited in error.

(d)

Withdrawal.  On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall transfer the Available Distribution Amount on deposit in the REMIC I Distribution Account to the REMIC II Distribution Account and then to the Certificate Account in accordance with the amounts set forth in the statement prepared pursuant to Section 4.01 and shall distribute such amounts to Holders of the Certificates, in accordance with Article III of the Trust Agreement, in the order of priority set forth therein.

(e)

Accounting.  The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting (to the extent provided to it by each Servicer), on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any payment to and from the Master Servicer Account.  No later than 21 days after each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall, upon written request,  forward to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator a statement setting forth the balance of the Master Servicer Account as of the close of business on the last day of the month of the Distribution Date and showing, for the one calendar month covered by the statement, any deposits and or withdrawals from the Master Servicer Account.

(f)

Investments by the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator.  Any investment by the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator of amounts received hereunder shall be in Permitted Investments only.  All income and gain realized from any such investment of amounts in the Master Servicer Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal on order from time to time and shall not be part of the Trust Estate.  All income and gain realized from any such investment of amounts in the Certificate Account shall be for the benefit of the Securities Administrator and shall be subject to its withdrawal on order from time to time.  In the event of a loss or reduction in the amount to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the Securities Administrator on the Master Servicer Remittance Date or the amount to be remitted by the Securities Administrator on the Distribution Date because of a loss on a Permitted Investment, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall be required to deposit the amount of such loss into the Master Servicer Account or the Certificate Account, as applicable, within one Business Day of realization of such loss from its own funds without reimbursement.

(g)

Compensating Interest.  The amount of the Master Servicing Fee payable to the Master Servicer in respect of any Distribution Date shall be reduced by the amount of any Compensating Interest Payment for such Distribution Date, but only to the extent such Compensating Interest Payment is not actually made by a Servicer on the applicable Servicer Remittance Date.  Such amount shall not be treated as an Advance and shall not be reimbursable to the Master Servicer.

Section 3.02

Filings with the Commission.  No later than ten Business Days prior to the date on which any Annual Report on Form 10-K with respect to the Trust is required to be filed, the Securities Administrator shall deliver to the Depositor an officer’s certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit H and the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor an officer’s certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit I.  The Securities Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission Form 8-K (or other comparable Form containing the same or comparable information or other information mutually agreed upon)(other than the initial Current Report on Form 8-K, which is to be filed by the Depositor in connection with the issuance of the Certificates) and the Depositor shall sign and certify any and all reports, statements and information relating to the Trust and/or the Certificates required to be filed (“1934 Act Documents”).  Upon execution and certification of the 1934 Act Documents by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator shall file such documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Unless otherwise advised by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator shall assume that all 1934 Act Documents shall consist of only the following:  Form 8-K reports (or other comparable Form containing the same or comparable information or other information mutually agreed upon) attaching the Remittance Report, to be filed each month beginning in April 2005, a Form 15D to be filed no later than January 30, 2006 (provided, however, that if the criteria for filing a Form 15D are not met, the Securities Administrator shall continue filing the monthly and annual forms), and a Form 10-K to be filed each March beginning in March 2006, unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall have been filed.  At the expense of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator shall promptly file no-action requests prepared in EDGAR-compatible format by the Depositor with, or request other appropriate exemptive relief from, the Securities and Exchange Commission seeking the usual and customary exemption from such reporting requirements granted to issuers of securities similar to the Certificates if and to the extent the Depositor shall deem any such relief to be necessary or appropriate, and directs the Securities Administrator to do so.  Unless otherwise advised by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator shall assume that the Depositor is in compliance with the preceding sentence.  In no event shall the Securities Administrator have any liability for the execution or content of any 1934 Act Document.  The Depositor hereby grants to the Securities Administrator a limited power of attorney to execute and file each 1934 Act Document on behalf of the Depositor, it being agreed and understood that the Securities Administrator shall not be required to execute any Form 10-K on behalf of the Depositor.  Such power of attorney shall continue until either the earlier of (i) receipt by the Securities Administrator from the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust.  The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Securities Administrator, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports, and financial statements within its control related to the Trust Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the Depositor reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Section 3.03

Securities Administrator to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.  The Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, if requested by any Servicer, execute a power of appointment pursuant to which the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall authorize, make, constitute and appoint designated officers of the Servicer with full power to execute in the name of the Trustee (without recourse, representation or warranty) any deed of reconveyance, any substitution of trustee documents or any other document to release, satisfy, cancel or discharge any Mortgage or Mortgage Loan serviced by such Servicer upon its payment in full or other liquidation; provided, however, that such power of appointment shall be limited to the powers limited above; provided, further, that such Servicer shall have agreed to promptly forward to the Trustee for its files copies of all documents executed pursuant to such power of appointment.

Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the Servicer may submit a Request for Release to have delivered to it the related Trustee Mortgage Loan File and a release of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage.  No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to a Collection Account, the Master Servicer Account or the Certificate Account.

Upon receipt of any other Request for Release for purposes of servicing a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, collection under any Insurance Policy, title insurance policy, primary mortgage insurance policy, flood insurance policy or hazard insurance policy or to effect a partial release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage, the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, within five Business Days of receipt of such Request for Release, shall release, or shall cause the Custodian to release, the related Trustee Mortgage Loan File to the Servicer.  Upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation which are required to be deposited into the Collection Account or the Certificate Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, the Request for Release shall be released by the Trustee (or the Custodian) to the Servicer.

Any Servicer may execute a written certification to have delivered to it, pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Borrower on the Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity.

Section 3.04

Amendments to Servicing Agreement.  Each Servicing Agreement may be amended or supplemented from time to time by the related Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee without the consent of any of the Certificateholders to (a) cure any ambiguity, (b) correct or supplement any provisions therein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein, (c) modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or appropriate to maintain the qualification of the Trust (or certain assets thereof) as one or more REMICs, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding, (d) conform the terms of the Servicing Agreement to the terms described in the Prospectus or (e) make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under such Servicing Agreement or matters arising with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans which are not covered by such Servicing Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of such Servicing Agreement, provided that such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder.  Any such amendment or supplement shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect any Certificateholder if there is delivered to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator written notification from each Rating Agency that rated the applicable Certificates to the effect that such amendment or supplement will not cause that Rating Agency to reduce or qualify the then current rating assigned to such Certificates, as well as an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the applicable Servicer) that such amendment or supplement will not result in the loss by the Trust or the assets thereof of REMIC status or result in the imposition of any taxes on the Trust or any REMIC.

Each Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the related Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of such Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (A) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (B) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates, or (C) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, unless each Holder of a Certificate affected by such amendment consents.  For purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 3.04, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or an Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such Certificates.

Upon delivery of a written request to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and/or the Master Servicer together with a certification from the Servicer that any such amendment or supplement is permitted hereunder, the Securities Administrator, Master Servicer and Trustee, as applicable, may join in any such amendment or supplement.

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Securities Administrator shall notify each Certificateholder and the Master Servicer of such amendment and, upon written request, shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 3.04 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 Securities Administrator may prescribe.  Prior to consenting to any amendment pursuant to this Section 3.04, the Trustee, Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment) that such amendment is authorized and permitted pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement and the applicable Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.05

Monthly Advances by Master Servicer or Trustee.  (a) Under the terms of each Servicing Agreement, on the Business Day prior to each Servicer Remittance Date, the related Servicer is obligated to make a Monthly Advance with respect to any delinquencies as of the related Distribution Date, unless such Servicer furnishes to the Master Servicer an Officer’s Certificate evidencing the determination by such Servicer, in its reasonable judgment, that such Monthly Advance would be non-recoverable in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan (a “Non-Recoverability Certificate”).  If (i) a Servicer reports a delinquency on a Remittance Report, and (ii) such Servicer, by 11 a.m. (New York Time) on the related Distribution Date, neither makes a Monthly Advance nor provides the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, with a Non-Recoverability Certificate with respect to such delinquency, then subject to paragraph (b) below, the Master Servicer (or, if such Servicer is Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., the Trustee as successor Servicer) shall deposit, from its own funds on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the amount of such Monthly Advance not made by the Servicer into the Certificate Account for distribution to Certificateholders as provided in the Trust Agreement.  If the Master Servicer fails to make a Monthly Advance as required by the preceding sentence, then the Trustee, solely in its capacity as successor Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.06, shall, on or before the related Distribution Date, shall deposit, from its own funds, on the Distribution Date, the amount of such Monthly Advance into the Certificate Account.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master Servicer (or the Trustee acting as a successor servicer or master servicer), in its reasonable judgment, determines that such Monthly Advance would be non-recoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or otherwise with respect to such Mortgage Loan, then neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee, as applicable, shall be obligated to make such Monthly Advance.  The Master Servicer shall not be responsible to make an Advance resulting from a Servicemembers Shortfall.

(b)

Each Servicer is obligated under the applicable Servicing Agreement to remit to the Master Servicer the required remittance on each Servicer Remittance Date.  If (i) a Servicer fails to remit such remittance on any Servicer Remittance Date, and (ii) such failure is not cured by 11 a.m. (New York Time) on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date, then, to the extent permitted by the related Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall withdraw the amount of such required remittance from such Collection Account, to the extent that such amount is on deposit in such Collection Account, and shall deposit such amount in the Certificate Account.

(c)

All Monthly Advances (together with, in the case of the Master Servicer and the Trustee, interest thereon at a rate equal to the prevailing Prime Rate plus 2.0%) shall be reimbursable to the related Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, on a first priority basis from deposits to the Collection Account of late collections, Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds from the related Mortgage Loan as to which a Monthly Advance has been made.  The Master Servicer or the Trustee’s right to reimbursement as provided in this paragraph (c) shall not negate its obligation to continue to make Monthly Advances as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.05.  To the extent Monthly Advances are not recoverable as set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph (c), the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall be entitled to recover such Monthly Advances as provided in Section 3.01(b).

(d)

To the extent that a Servicer is required to pay penalty interest pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, and the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes any Monthly Advance, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, in its individual capacity shall be entitled to retain such penalty interest.

Section 3.06

Enforcement of Servicing Agreements.  Subject to Article VIII hereof, the Master Servicer agrees to comply with the terms of each Servicing Agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the related Servicer for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and furnish a statement, containing the information set forth in clauses (a) through (c) above, to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Holder that requests such statement, aggregated for such calendar year or portion thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder.  Such obligation of the Securities Administrator shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Securities Administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time are in force.

Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and shall furnish to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Holder of a Residual Certificate a statement, upon request, containing the information provided pursuant to the second preceding paragraph aggregated for such calendar year thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder.  Such obligation of the Securities Administrator shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Securities Administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time are in force.

Section 4.02

Remittance Reports and other Reports from the Servicers.  To the extent received from the Servicers, the Securities Administrator shall make the information in each Remittance Report available to the Depositor, the Trustee, and the Securities Administrator or any Certificateholder upon written request therefor.  In addition, upon written request from the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or any Certificateholder (such party, the “Requesting Party”), the Securities Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the Servicers and subsequently provide to the Requesting Party any other reports or information that may be obtained by the Master Servicer from any Servicer pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that if the Securities Administrator incurs costs pursuant to the Servicing Agreement with respect to any particular request, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Requesting Party for such costs, together with any other reasonable costs incurred by it for obtaining or delivering the reports or information specified by such request.  Upon the request of the Depositor, if permitted pursuant to a Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall request, on an annual basis beginning one year after the Closing Date, copies of the Servicer’s internal quality control reports (it being understood that the Master Servicer shall have no responsibility for, or be deemed to have, constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable therefrom).  None of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or any agent of the Securities Administrator shall be under any duty to recalculate, verify or recompute the information provided to it under any Servicing Agreement by the applicable Servicer.

Section 4.03

Compliance with Withholding Requirements.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Trust Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments of interest or principal to the extent of accrued original issue discount on Certificates to each Holder of such Certificates who (a) is not a “United States person,” within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(30), (b) fails to furnish its TIN to the Securities Administrator, (c) furnishes the Securities Administrator an incorrect TIN, (d) fails to report properly interest and dividends, (e) under certain circumstances, fails to provide the Securities Administrator or the Certificateholder’s securities broker with a certified statement, signed under penalties of perjury, that the TIN provided by such Certificateholder to the Securities Administrator or such broker is correct and that the Certificateholder is not subject to backup withholding or (f) otherwise fails to satisfy any applicable certification requirements relating to the withholding tax.  The consent of such a Certificateholder shall not be required for such withholding.  In the event the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, does withhold the amount of any otherwise required distribution from interest payments on the Mortgage Loans (including principal payments to the extent of accrued original issue discount) or Monthly Advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Securities Administrator shall indicate with any payments to such Certificateholders the amount withheld.  In addition, if any United States federal income tax is due at the time a Non-U.S. Person transfers a Residual Certificate, the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, or other Withholding Agent may (1) withhold an amount equal to the taxes due upon disposition of such Residual Certificate from future distributions made with respect to such Residual Certificate to the transferee thereof (after giving effect to the withholding of taxes imposed on such transferee), and (2) pay the withheld amount to the Internal Revenue Service unless satisfactory written evidence of payment by the transferor of the taxes due has been provided to the Securities Administrator or such Withholding Agent.  Moreover, the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, or other Withholding Agent may (1) hold distributions on a Residual Certificate, without interest, pending determination of amounts to be withheld, (2) withhold other amounts, if any, required to be withheld pursuant to United States federal income tax law from distributions that otherwise would be made to such transferee on each Residual Certificate that it holds, and (3) pay to the Internal Revenue Service all such amounts withheld.

Section 4.04

Section 4.05

Preparation of Regulatory Reports.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Securities Administrator has not assumed, nor shall by its performance hereunder be deemed to have assumed, any of the duties or obligations of the Depositor or any other Person with respect to (i) the registration of the Certificates pursuant to the Securities Act, (ii) the issuance or sale of the Certificates, or (iii) compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any offering circular, applicable federal or state securities or other laws including, without limitation, any requirement to update the registration statement or prospectus relating to the Certificates in order to render the same not materially misleading to investors.

Section 4.06

Management and Disposition of REO Property.  The Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of each Servicer under any Servicing Agreement to dispose of any REO Property acquired by such Servicer on behalf of the Trust before the end of the third calendar year following the calendar year in which the related REO Property was acquired; provided that the Master Servicer shall waive such requirement if the Master Servicer, Trustee and the Securities Administrator (1) receive an Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the applicable Servicer) indicating that, under then-current law, the REMIC may hold such REO Property for a period longer than three years without threatening the REMIC status of any related REMIC or causing the imposition of a tax upon any such REMIC or (2) the Servicer applies for and is granted an extension of such three year period pursuant to Code Sections 860G(a)(8) and 856(e)(3) (the applicable period provided pursuant to such Opinion of Counsel or such Code section being referred to herein as an “Extended Holding Period”).  In that event, the Master Servicer shall direct the Servicer to sell any REO Property remaining after such date in an auction before the end of the Extended Holding Period.

ARTICLE V

THE INTERESTS AND THE SECURITIES

Section 5.01

REMIC Interests.  The Trust Agreement will set forth the terms of the Regular Interests and Residual Interests of each REMIC.  Unless otherwise specified in the Trust Agreement, (a) the Regular Interests in each REMIC will be “regular interests” for purposes of the REMIC Provisions; (b) the Trustee will be the owner of the Regular Interests in any REMIC held by another REMIC formed pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, and such Regular Interests may not be transferred to any person other than a successor trustee appointed pursuant to Section 9.07 hereof unless the party desiring the transfer obtains a Special Tax Opinion; and (c) such Regular Interests will be represented by the respective Interests.

Section 5.02

The Certificates.  The Certificates shall be designated in the Trust Agreement.  The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Estate.  On the Closing Date, the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the Certificates will equal the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date.  The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed to the Trust Agreement.  Unless otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement, the Certificates of each Class will be issuable in registered form, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as described in the definition thereof.  Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the related Class.

Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed by the Trustee and delivered by the Securities Administrator and the Securities Administrator shall cause the Certificates to be authenticated by the Certificate Registrar to or upon the order of the Depositor upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents specified in Section 2.01.  The Certificates shall be executed and attested by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized Officer under its seal imprinted thereon.  Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper Officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates.  No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided in the Trust Agreement executed by the Certificate Registrar by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.  All Certificates shall be dated the date of their execution.

Section 5.03

Book-Entry Securities

.  (a) The Book-Entry Securities will be represented initially by one or more certificates registered in the name designated by the Clearing Agency.  The Depositor and the Securities Administrator may for all intents and purposes (including the making of payments on the Book-Entry Securities) deal with the Clearing Agency as the authorized representative of the Beneficial Owners of the Book-Entry Securities for as long as those Certificates are registered in the name of the Clearing Agency.  The rights of Beneficial Owners of the Book-Entry Securities shall be limited by law to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the Clearing Agency and Clearing Agency Participants.  The Beneficial Owners of the Book-Entry Securities shall not be entitled to certificates for the Book-Entry Securities as to which they are the Beneficial Owners, except as provided in subsection (c) below.  Requests and directions from, and votes of, the Clearing Agency, as Holder, shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Beneficial Owners.  Without the consent of the Depositor and the Securities Administrator, a Book-Entry Security may not be transferred by the Clearing Agency except to another Clearing Agency that agrees to hold the Book-Entry Security for the account of the respective Clearing Agency Participants and Beneficial Owners.

(b)

Neither the Depositor nor the Securities Administrator will have any liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payment made on account of Beneficial Owners of the Book-Entry Securities held by the Clearing Agency, for monitoring or restricting any transfer of beneficial ownership in a Book-Entry Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such Beneficial Owners.

(c)

A Book-Entry Security will be registered in fully registered, certificated form to Beneficial Owners of Book-Entry Securities or their nominees, rather than to the Clearing Agency or its nominee, if (a) the Depositor advises the Securities Administrator in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Book-Entry Securities, and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor within 30 days, (b) the Depositor, at its option, elects to terminate the book-entry system operating through the Clearing Agency or (c) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficial Owners representing at least a majority of the aggregate outstanding Class Principal Balance of the Book-Entry Securities advise the Clearing Agency in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners.  Upon the occurrence of any such event, the Securities Administrator shall notify the Clearing Agency, which in turn will notify all Beneficial Owners of Book-Entry Securities through Clearing Agency Participants, of the availability of certificated Certificates.  Upon surrender by the Clearing Agency or the Book-Entry Custodian of the certificates representing the Book-Entry Securities and receipt of instructions for re-registration, the Securities Administrator will reissue the Book-Entry Securities as certificated Certificates to the Beneficial Owners identified in writing by the Clearing Agency.  Neither the Depositor nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of such instructions and may rely conclusively on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.  Such certificated Certificates shall not constitute Book-Entry Securities.  All reasonable costs associated with the preparation and delivery of certificated Certificates shall be borne by the Trust.

(d)

The Securities Administrator is hereby initially appointed as Book-Entry Custodian with respect to the Book-Entry Securities, and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Clearing Agency authorizing it to act as such (it being understood that should any conflict arise between the provisions hereof and the provisions of the agreement between the Securities Administrator and the Clearing Agency, the agreement with the Clearing Agency will control).  The Book-Entry Custodian may, and, if it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor and, if the Securities Administrator is not the Book-Entry Custodian, the Securities Administrator, any other transfer agent (including the Clearing Agency or any successor Clearing Agency) to act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the Clearing Agency or any successor Clearing Agency may prescribe; provided that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by reason of such appointment of other than the Clearing Agency.  If the Securities Administrator resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor securities administrator, or, if it so elects, the Clearing Agency shall immediately succeed to its predecessor’s duties as Book-Entry Custodian.  The Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry Securities by the Book-Entry Custodian.

Section 5.04

Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.  The Securities Administrator shall cause to be kept a certificate register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Securities Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.  The Securities Administrator  will initially serve as Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.  The Securities Administrator may appoint any other Person to act as Certificate Registrar hereunder.

Subject to Section 5.05, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the Securities Administrator or at any other office or agency of the Securities Administrator maintained for such purpose, the Securities Administrator shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.

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

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

All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be destroyed by the  Certificate Registrar.

The Securities Administrator will cause the Certificate Registrar (unless the Securities Administrator is acting as Certificate Registrar) to provide notice to the Securities Administrator of each transfer of a Certificate, and the Certificate Registrar will provide the Securities Administrator with an updated copy of the Certificate Register on January 1 and July 1 of each year.

Section 5.05

Restrictions on Transfer

(a)

Securities Law Compliance.  No transfer of any Junior Subordinate Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification.  Any Holder of a Junior Subordinate Certificate shall, and, by acceptance of such Junior Subordinate Certificate, does agree to, indemnify the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Securities Administrator against any liability that may result if any transfer of such Certificates by such Holder is not exempt from registration under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.  None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the Securities Administrator is obligated to register or qualify any Junior Subordinate Certificate under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without such registration or qualification.  Neither the Certificate Registrar nor the Securities Administrator shall register any transfer of a Junior Subordinate Certificate unless and until the prospective transferee provides the Securities Administrator with an agreement certifying to facts which, if true, would mean that the proposed transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer (a “QIB Certificate”), and unless and until the transfer otherwise complies with the provisions of this Section 5.05.  If so provided in the Trust Agreement, the prospective transferee will be deemed to have provided a QIB Certificate upon acceptance of the Certificate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no QIB Certificate shall be required in connection with the initial transfer of the Junior Subordinate Certificates.

The Depositor (or, upon direction of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, which directions shall specify the information to be provided, and at the expense of the Depositor) shall provide to any Holder of a Junior Subordinate Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by such Holder information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Junior Subordinate Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A.

(b)

ERISA Restrictions.  No Junior Subordinate Certificate or Residual Certificate shall be transferred unless the prospective transferee provides the Securities Administrator with a properly completed Benefit Plan Affidavit.

(c)

Residual Certificates.  No Residual Certificate (including any beneficial interest therein) may be transferred to a Disqualified Organization or a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee (a “non-Permitted Transferee”).  In addition, no Residual Certificate (including any beneficial interest therein) may be transferred unless (i) the proposed transferee provides the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar with a Residual Transfer Affidavit, (ii) the proposed transferor provides the Trustee or Certificate Registrar with a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto, and (iii) the interest transferred involves the entire interest in a Residual Certificate or an undivided interest therein (unless the transferor or the transferee provides the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar with an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be an expense of the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar, as applicable) that the transfer will not jeopardize the REMIC status of any related REMIC).  In any event, neither the Securities Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar shall effect any transfer of a Residual Certificate except upon notification of such transfer to the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar, as applicable.  Notwithstanding the fulfillment of the prerequisites described above, the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may refuse to recognize any transfer to the extent necessary to avoid a risk of disqualification of any related REMIC as a REMIC or the imposition of a tax upon any such REMIC.

Upon notice to the Securities Administrator that any legal or beneficial interest in any portion of the Residual Certificates has been transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Disqualified Organization, a non-Permitted Transferee or agent thereof (including a broker, nominee, or middleman) in contravention of the foregoing restrictions, such transferee shall be deemed to hold the Residual Certificate in constructive trust for the last transferor who was not a Disqualified Organization or agent thereof, and such transferor shall be restored as the owner of such Residual Certificate as completely as if such transfer had never occurred, provided that the Securities Administrator may, but is not required to, recover any distributions made to such transferee with respect to the Residual Certificate and return such recovery to the transferor.  The Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, agrees to furnish to the Internal Revenue Service and to any transferor of the Residual Certificate or such agent (within 60 days of the request therefor by the transferor or agent) such information necessary for the computation of the tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code and as otherwise may be required by the Code, including but not limited to the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions with respect to the Residual Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods after such transfer.  At the election of the Securities Administrator, the cost to the Securities Administrator of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the transferor or such agent referred to above; however, the Securities Administrator shall not be excused from furnishing such information.

If a tax or a reporting cost is borne by any REMIC as a result of the transfer of a Residual Certificate or any beneficial interest therein in violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section, the transferor shall pay such tax or cost and, if such tax or cost is not so paid, the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall pay such tax or cost with amounts that otherwise would have been paid to the transferee of the Residual Certificate (or beneficial interest therein).  In that event, neither the transferee nor the transferor shall have any right to seek repayment of such amounts from the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, any REMIC, or the other Holders of any of the Certificates, and none of such parties shall have any liability for payment of any such tax or reporting cost.

Section 5.06

Section 5.07

Persons Deemed Owners.  Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar or any agent of either of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 5.08

ARTICLE VII

TERMINATION OF SERVICING ARRANGEMENTS

Section 7.01

Termination and Substitution of Servicer.  Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default for which a Servicer may be terminated pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer (or the Trustee with respect to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Servicer), in accordance with Section 8.01(a) hereof, may, and shall, at the direction of the Certificateholders holding 66% of the Voting Rights, terminate such Servicing Agreement.  The Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 66% of the Voting Rights of Certificates affected by a Servicer Event of Default may waive such Servicer Event of Default; provided, however, that (a) a Servicer Event of Default with respect to any Servicer’s obligation to make Monthly Advances may be waived only by all of the holders of the Certificates affected by such Servicer Event of Default and (b) no such waiver is permitted that would materially adversely affect any non-consenting Certificateholder.  Subject to the conditions set forth below in this Section 7.01, the Master Servicer, at the direction of the Certificateholders holding 66% of the Voting Rights, shall, concurrently with such termination, either assume the duties of the terminated Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement or appoint another servicer to enter into such Servicing Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer may not terminate a Servicer without cause unless the Master Servicer or a successor servicer is appointed concurrently with such termination.  There may be a transition period of not longer than 90 days prior to the effective date of the servicing transfer to the successor Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, provided, however, that during such transition period, the Master Servicer or successor Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform the duties of the Servicer in its capacity as successor Servicer.

If the Master Servicer terminates a Servicer, the Master Servicer may name another mortgage loan service company and such mortgage loan service company shall be acceptable to each Rating Agency and such mortgage loan service company shall assume, satisfy, perform and carry out all liabilities, duties, responsibilities and obligations that are to be, or otherwise were to have been, satisfied, performed and carried out by the Servicer under such Servicing Agreement.  Such successor Servicer shall be a mortgage loan servicing institution in good standing with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, with a net worth of at least $25,000,000.  In the event that the Master Servicer cannot appoint a substitute Servicer, it shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a substitute Servicer meeting the foregoing requirements.

In the event any Servicer resigns or is terminated as provided above and the Master Servicer has not appointed a successor servicer (or no successor servicer has accepted such appointment) prior to the effective date of such resignation or termination, then the Master Servicer (or Trustee, if such Servicer is Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.) shall serve as successor Servicer and shall succeed to, satisfy, perform and carry out all obligations which otherwise were to have been satisfied, performed and carried out by such Servicer under the terminated Servicing Agreement until another successor servicer has been appointed and has accepted its appointment.  In no event shall the Master Servicer (or Trustee, if applicable) be deemed to have assumed the obligations of a Servicer to purchase any Mortgage Loan from the Trust pursuant to any Servicing Agreement or any obligations of the Servicer which were incurred thereunder prior to the date the Master Servicer assumes the obligations of the Servicer under such Servicing Agreement.  As compensation to the Master Servicer (or Trustee as applicable) for any servicing obligations fulfilled or assumed by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to any servicing compensation to which such Servicer would have been entitled if the Servicing Agreement with such Servicer had not been terminated; provided, however, that the Master Servicer (and the Trustee, if applicable) shall not be (i) liable for any acts or omissions of the Servicer, (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so under applicable law, (iii) responsible for expenses of the Servicer pursuant to the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement or (iv) obligated to deposit losses on any Permitted Investment directed by the Servicer.  

In no event shall the Master Servicer or Trustee be deemed to have assumed the obligations of a Servicer to purchase any Mortgage Loan from the Trust pursuant to any Servicing Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Servicer Event of Default shall occur, the Master Servicer (or the Trustee if the defaulting Servicer is Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.) shall, by notice in writing to the applicable Servicer, which may be delivered by telecopy, immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer thereafter arising under the applicable Servicing Agreement, but without prejudice to any rights it may have as a Certificateholder or to reimbursement of Advances and other advances of its own funds, and the Master Servicer (or Trustee, as applicable) shall act as provided in this Section 7.01 to carry out the duties of the Servicer, including the obligation to make any Advance the nonpayment of which was a Servicer  Event of Default.  Any such action taken by the Securities Administrator must be prior to the distribution of the relevant Distribution Date.

The Servicer being terminated as a result of an Event of Default shall bear all costs of a servicing transfer as set forth in the applicable Servicing Agreement.

As set forth in the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Servicer (or by the Trust Estate, if the Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor Servicer, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the succeeding servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the succeeding servicer to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively.  If the terminated Servicer does not pay such reimbursement within thirty (30) days of its receipt of an invoice therefore, such reimbursement shall be an expense of the Trust and the Master Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to withdraw such reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement the terminated Servicer shall reimburse the Trust for any such expense incurred by the Trust; and provided, further, that the Master Servicer (or Trustee, as applicable) shall decide whether and to what extent it is in the best interest of the Certificateholders to pursue any remedy against any party obligated to make such reimbursement.

No Certificateholder, solely by virtue of such holder’s status as a Certificateholder, will have any right under the Trust Agreement to institute any proceeding with respect to the Trust Agreement or any Servicing Agreement, Custodial Agreement or any Assignment Agreement, unless such holder previously has given to the Trustee written notice of default and unless the Certificateholders evidencing at least 25% of Voting Rights have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such proceeding and have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee for 60 days has neglected or refused to institute any such proceeding.

Section 7.02

Notification to Certificateholders.  (a) Upon any termination pursuant to Section 7.01 above or appointment of a successor to any Servicer or the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register, and to each Rating Agency.

(b)

Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Servicer Event of Default involving any Servicer, the Securities Administrator shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates, each Rating Agency, the Trustee and the Master Servicer notice of each such Servicer Event of Default or occurrence known to a Responsible Officer of the Securities Administrator unless such default shall have been cured or waived.

ARTICLE VIII

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
BY THE MASTER SERVICER

Section 8.01

Duties of the Master Servicer; Enforcement of Servicer’s and Master Servicer’s Obligations

(a)

The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the Certificateholders, shall monitor the performance of the Servicers under the Servicing Agreements, and (except as set forth below) shall use its reasonable good faith efforts to cause the Servicers to duly and punctually to perform their duties and obligations thereunder.  Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer has actual knowledge under a Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Securities Administrator and the Trustee and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Master Servicer plans to take in respect of such default.  So long as any such default shall be continuing, the Master Servicer may (i) terminate all of the rights and powers of such Servicer pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Servicing Agreement; (ii) exercise any rights it may have to enforce the Servicing Agreement against such Servicer; (iii) waive any such default under the Servicing Agreement in accordance with Section 7.01 hereof or (iv) take any other action with respect to such default as is permitted under the related Servicing Agreement.  Except as set forth in Section 4.06 hereof, the Master Servicer shall have no duty to supervise any Servicer’s activities related to the servicing or administration of defaulted or delinquent Mortgage Loans or the management and disposition of any REO Properties.

(b)

The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of monitoring the Servicers as required hereunder (including costs associated with (i) termination of any Servicer, (ii) the appointment of a successor servicer or (iii) the transfer to and assumption of the servicing by the Master Servicer (or, if the Servicer is Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., by the Trustee) and shall, to the extent permitted by the related Servicing Agreement, seek reimbursement therefor initially from the terminated Servicer.  In the event the full costs associated with the transition of servicing responsibilities to the Master Servicer are not paid for by the predecessor or successor Servicer (provided such successor Servicer is not the Master Servicer), the Master Servicer or Trustee as successor Master Servicer shall be reimbursed therefor by the Trust for out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Master Servicer associated with any such transfer of servicing duties from a Servicer to the Master Servicer or any other successor servicer.

(c)

If the Master Servicer (or Trustee, as applicable) assumes the servicing with respect to any of the Mortgage Loans, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of any Servicer it replaces or for any errors or omissions of such Servicer.

(d)

None of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall consent to the assignment by any Servicer of such Servicer’s rights and obligations under any Servicing Agreement without the prior written consent of the Master Servicer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 8.02

Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance

(a)

The Master Servicer shall maintain with responsible companies, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy, with broad coverage on all directors, 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 Servicing 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 8.02 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 Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.  Upon the request of the Securities Administrator or the Trustee, the Master Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Securities Administrator or the Trustee a certificate of insurance of the insurer and the surety including a statement from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond and insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days’ prior written notice to the Securities Administrator.  The Master Servicer shall (i) require each Servicer to maintain an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and a Fidelity Bond in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Servicing Agreement, (ii) cause each Servicer to provide to the Master Servicer certificates evidencing that such policy and bond is in effect and to furnish to the Master Servicer any notice of cancellation, non-renewal or modification of the policy or bond received by it, as and to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, and (iii) furnish copies of the certificates and notices referred to in clause (ii) to the Securities Administrator upon its request.

(b)

The Master Servicer shall promptly report to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee any material changes that may occur in the Master Servicer Fidelity Bond or the Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and shall furnish to the Securities Administrator and Trustee, on request, certificates evidencing that such bond and insurance policy are in full force and effect.  The Master Servicer shall promptly report to the Securities Administrator and Trustee all cases of forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors or omissions, if such events involve funds relating to the Mortgage Loans.  The total losses, regardless of whether claims are filed with the applicable insurer or surety, shall be disclosed in such reports together with the amount of such losses covered by insurance.  If a bond or insurance claim report is filed with any of such bonding companies or insurers, the Master Servicer shall promptly furnish a copy of such report to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee.  Any amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans collected by the Master Servicer under any such bond or policy shall be promptly remitted by the Master Servicer to the Securities Administrator for deposit into the Certificate Account.  Any amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans collected by any Servicer under any such bond or policy shall be remitted to the Master Servicer to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement.

Any cause of action against the Master Servicer relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in this Section 8.03 shall accrue upon discovery of such breach by either the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee or notice thereof by any one of such parties to the other parties.

In each and every such case, so long as a Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, may terminate with cause all the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Trust Agreement.

Upon receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Trust Agreement, shall pass to and be vested in any successor master servicer appointed hereunder that accepts such appointments.  Upon written request from the Trustee or the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity designated by the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.06 any and all documents and other instruments related to the performance of its duties hereunder as the Master Servicer and, place in such successor’s possession all such documents, together with any Trustee Mortgage Loan Files related to any pool of Mortgage Loans with respect to which it acts as a successor servicer, and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, at the Master Servicer’s sole expense.  The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and such successor master servicer in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor master servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be credited to the Master Servicer Account or are thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

By a written notice, the Trustee may waive any default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences.  Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Master Servicer Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Trust 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.

Section 8.06

Successor to the Master Servicer

Upon termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall appoint a successor Master Servicer, which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Master Servicer under this Trust Agreement prior to the termination of the Master Servicer.  In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that in no event shall the Master Servicer Fee paid to such successor master servicer exceed that paid to the Master Servicer hereunder.  In the event that the Master Servicer’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Trust Agreement are terminated, the Master Servicer shall continue to discharge its duties and responsibilities hereunder until the effective date of such termination with the same degree of diligence and prudence that it is obligated to exercise under this Trust Agreement and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights of its successor.  The termination of the Master Servicer shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant hereto and shall in no event (i) relieve the Master Servicer of responsibility for the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 8.03(a) hereof and the remedies available to the Trustee under Section 8.03(b) hereof, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of Section 8.03 hereof shall be applicable to the Master Servicer notwithstanding any such sale, assignment, resignation or termination of the Master Servicer or the termination of this Trust Agreement; or (ii) affect the right of the Master Servicer to receive payment and/or reimbursement of any amounts accruing to it hereunder prior to the date of termination (or during any transition period in which the Master Servicer continues to perform its duties hereunder prior to the date the successor master servicer fully assumes its duties).

If no successor Master Servicer has accepted its appointment within 90 days of the time the Trustee receives the resignation of or the date of the notice of termination of the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall be the successor Master Servicer in all respects under the Trust Agreement and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto, including the obligation to make Monthly Advances; provided, however, that any failure to perform any duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer’s failure to provide information required by these Standard Terms or the Trust Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder.  In the Trustee’s capacity as such successor, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability herein granted to the Master Servicer.  As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive the compensation, reimbursement and indemnities otherwise payable to the Master Servicer under these Standard Terms, including the fees and other amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.07 hereof.

Any successor master servicer appointed as provided herein, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Master Servicer and to the Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, wherein the successor shall make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 8.03 hereof, and whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Trust Agreement.  Any termination or resignation of the Master Servicer or termination of this Trust Agreement shall not affect any claims that the Trustee may have against the Master Servicer arising out of the Master Servicer’s actions or failure to act prior to any such termination or resignation.

Section 8.07

Fees and Other Amounts Payable to the Master Servicer

The Master Servicer shall be entitled to either retain or withdraw from the Master Servicer Account (i) the Master Servicing Fee, (ii) amounts necessary to reimburse itself for any previously unreimbursed Advances, (iii) an aggregate annual amount to indemnify the Master Servicer for amounts due in accordance with Section 8.01(b), 8.11 and 8.12 hereof, and (iv) any other amounts that it is entitled to receive hereunder for reimbursement, indemnification or otherwise.  The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided in this Trust Agreement.

Section 8.08

Merger or Consolidation

Any Person into which the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion, other change in form or consolidation to which the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Master Servicer, shall be the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or resulting Person to the Master Servicer shall have a net worth of not less than $25,000,000.

Section 8.09

Resignation of Master Servicer

Except as otherwise provided in Sections 8.08 and 8.10 hereof, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it unless the Master Servicer’s 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 and cannot be cured.  Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel that shall be Independent to such effect delivered to the Trustee.  No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee shall have assumed, or a successor master servicer shall have been appointed by the Trustee and until such successor shall have assumed, the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Trust Agreement.  Notice of such resignation shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer and the Depositor to the Trustee.

Section 8.10

Assignment or Delegation of Duties by the Master Servicer

Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Master Servicer; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall have the right with the prior written consent of the Trustee and the Depositor, and upon delivery to the Trustee and the Depositor of a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such action shall not result in a downgrading of the Certificates, to delegate or assign to or subcontract with or authorize or appoint any qualified Person to perform and carry out any duties, covenants or obligations to be performed and carried out by the Master Servicer hereunder.  Notice of such permitted assignment shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer to the Depositor and the Trustee.  If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master servicer, the entire amount of the Master Servicing Fee and other compensation payable to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor master servicer but in no event shall the Master Servicer Fee payable to the successor master servicer exceed that payable to the predecessor master servicer.

Section 8.11

Limitation on Liability of the Master Servicer and Others

Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Trust Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful malfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this Trust Agreement.  The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.  The Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties as Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans under this Trust Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Trust Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder.  In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom, shall be liabilities of the Trust, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Master Servicer Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.07 and Section 8.12.

The Master Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of any Servicer except to the extent that damages or expenses are incurred as a result of such act or omissions and such damages and expenses would not have been incurred but for the negligence, willful malfeasance, bad faith or recklessness of the Master Servicer in supervising, monitoring and overseeing the obligations of the Servicers under this Trust Agreement.

Section 8.12

Indemnification; Third-Party Claims

The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liability, fees and expenses that the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee may sustain as a result of the Master Servicer’s willful malfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this Trust Agreement.  The Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall immediately notify the Master Servicer if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Trust Agreement or the Mortgage Loans which would entitle the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee to indemnification under this Section 8.12, whereupon the Master Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim.

The Trust will indemnify the Master Servicer and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that the Master Servicer may incur or sustain in connection with, arising out of or related to this Trust Agreement, the Servicing Agreements, any Assignment Agreement, the Custodial Agreement or the Certificates that is an “unanticipated expense” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii), except to the extent that any such loss, liability or expense is related to (i) a material breach of the Master Servicer’s representations and warranties in the Trust Agreement or (ii) the Master Servicer’s willful malfeasance, bad faith or negligence or by reason of its reckless disregard of its duties and obligations under any such agreement.  The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimburse itself for any such indemnified amount from funds on deposit in the Master Servicer Account.

ARTICLE IX

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

Section 9.01

Duties of Trustee.  The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default and after the curing of any such Master Servicer Event of Default, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Trust Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the appointment by the Trustee of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as Securities Administrator to perform the duties and obligations specifically set forth in Sections 2.03, 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.05, 4.01, 4.03, 4.04, 5.02, 5.03, 5.04, 5.08, 7.01, 7.02 and 10.03 hereof, and any other duties and obligations as may be set forth in a letter agreement between Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and the Trustee, shall not release the Trustee from its duty to perform such duties and obligations hereunder.  During a Master Servicer  Event of Default relating to the Trustee of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has notice, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Trust Agreement and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.

The Trustee upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, reports, documents, orders or other instruments created by any Person other than itself and furnished to it which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of the Trust Agreement, Custody Agreement, Servicing Agreement, Sale Agreement or Assignment Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of such agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be under any duty to recalculate, verify or recompute the information provided to it hereunder by the Servicer or the Depositor.  If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of such agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall take action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to its satisfaction, then it will provide notice thereof to the other and to the Certificateholders.

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

(a)

Prior to the occurrence of any Master Servicer Event of Default and after the curing of all of such Events of Default, the respective duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of the Trust Agreement (including the obligation, if any, of the Trustee to enforce each Servicing Agreement against the related Servicer, each Custody Agreement against the related Custodian, each Sale Agreement against the related Seller, each Assignment Agreement against GSMC and otherwise to act as owner under such agreements for the benefit of the Certificateholders), the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of the respective duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in the Trust Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the Trust Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee that conform to the requirements of the Trust Agreement;

(b)

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

(c)

The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under the Trust Agreement;

(d)

Any determination of negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or breach of conduct of the Trustee shall be made only upon a finding that there is clear and convincing evidence (and not upon the mere preponderance of evidence) thereof in a proceeding before a court of competent jurisdiction in which the Trustee has had an opportunity to defend; and

(e)

In no event shall the Trustee be held liable for the actions or omissions of any Master Servicer, Securities Administrator, Servicer or Custodian (excepting the Trustee’s own actions as Master Servicer, Securities Administrator, Servicer or Custodian).  Prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing of all such Events of Default, other than those obligations assumed by the Trustee as successor Servicer under Article VII, no provision of the Trust Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it unless such risk or liability relates to duties set forth herein.

(vii)

The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers under the Trust Agreement or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it under the Trust Agreement, provided that any agent appointed by the Trustee hereunder shall be entitled to all of the protections of the Trustee under this Agreement including, without limitation, the indemnification provided for under Section 9.05 hereof;

(viii)

Whenever the Trustee is authorized herein to require acts or documents in addition to those required to be provided it in any matter, it shall be under no obligation to make any determination whether or not such additional acts or documents should be required unless obligated to do so under Section 9.01;

(ix)

The permissive right or authority of the Trustee to take any action enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty or obligation;

(x)

The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any matter, including without limitation any Event of Default, unless one of its Responsible Officers has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice thereof is received by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and such notice references the applicable Certificates generally, the applicable Servicer or Seller, the Trust or this Agreement;

(xi)

The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability for the performance of any of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or powers (except with respect to its obligation to make Monthly Advances pursuant hereto) if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of any Servicer or the Master Servicer under this Agreement except with respect to the Trustee’s obligation to make Monthly Advances as successor servicer under any Servicing Agreement or any successor master servicer under this Agreement and during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, any Servicer or the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(xii)

Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and without limiting the generality of this Section 9.02, the Trustee shall not have any duty (A) to see to any recording, filing or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see the maintenance of any such recording of filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing any thereof, (B) to see to any insurance, (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Estate other than from funds available in the Certificate Account, or (D) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of any Servicer delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(b)

All rights of action under the Trust Agreement or under any of the Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee may be enforced by it without the possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the benefit of all the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of the Trust Agreement.  Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Section 9.03

Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.  The recitals contained in the Trust Agreement and in the Certificates (other than the signature of the Trustee, the acknowledgments by the Trustee in Section 2.02 hereof and the representations and warranties made in Section 9.13 hereof) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.  The Trustee makes no representations or warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of the Trust Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the signature of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document.  The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from any Collection Account, the Master Servicer Account or the Certificate Account other than any funds held by or on behalf of the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.01 or as owner of the Regular Interests of  any REMIC.

Section 9.05

Trustee’s Fees and Expenses.  Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall be paid out of the Securities Administrator Fee by the Securities Administrator pursuant to a separate agreement between the Trustee and the Securities Administrator.  The Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable expenses and disbursements incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of the Trust Agreement (including but not limited to the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) so long as such expenses constitute “unanticipated expenses” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or breach of contract by the Trustee.  The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust against any loss, liability or expense thereof, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred, arising out of or in connection with the Trust Agreement, any custody agreement or the Certificates, including, but not limited to, any such loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with any legal action against the Trust or the Trustee or any director, officer, employee or agent thereof, or the performance of any of the Trustee’s duties under the Trust Agreement other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence, willful misconduct or breach of contract in the performance of duties under the Trust Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under the Trust Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and termination of the Trust Agreement.

Section 9.06

Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.  The Trustee shall at all times be a corporation or national banking association that is not an Affiliate of the Depositor organized and doing business under the laws of any state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority.  If such corporation publishes reports of its conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of conditions so published.  In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.07.

Section 9.07

Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.  The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts created pursuant to the Trust Agreement by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and to all Certificateholders.  Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and to the successor trustee.  A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Depositor, the Certificateholders and each Servicer by the Depositor.  If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

The Depositor may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and to the successor trustee.  If the Depositor executes such an instrument, then the Depositor shall deliver a copy of such instrument to the Certificateholders, the Trustee and each Servicer.

The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to each of the Depositor, the Trustee so removed and the successor trustee so appointed.  A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and each Servicer and Seller by the Depositor.

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 9.08 hereof.

Section 9.08

Successor Trustee.  Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 9.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to the predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under the Trust Agreement and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor thereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee therein.  The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee, all Trustee Mortgage Loan Files and related documents and statements held by it under the Trust Agreement and the Depositor and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee, all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06 hereof.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee under the Trust Agreement to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the  Certificate Register.  If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the appointment of any successor Trustee pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement will be subject to the prior written consent of the Trustee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 9.09

Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.  Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee shall be the successor of the Trustee under the Trust Agreement, provided such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 9.10

Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.  For the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust or property securing the same may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Depositor and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable.  If the Depositor shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment.  No co-trustee or separate trustee(s) hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 9.06 hereof and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 9.08 hereof.

In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 9.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them.  Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to the Trust Agreement and the conditions of this Article IX.  Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of the Trust Agreement, specifically including every provision of the Trust Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee.  Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.  No trustee (including the Trustee) shall be responsible for the actions of any co-trustee.

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

Section 9.11

Appointment of Custodians.  The Trustee may appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Trustee Mortgage Loan Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a custody agreement.  The appointment of any Custodian may at any time be terminated and a substitute custodian appointed therefor by the Trustee.  Subject to Article IX, the Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each custody agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders.  Each Custodian shall be a depository institution or trust company subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 and shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Trustee Mortgage Loan File.  Any such Custodian may not be an affiliate of the Depositor or any Seller or Servicer.  The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for the acts or omissions of any Custodian appointed by it hereunder (except for a Custodian which is an affiliate of the Trustee).  Except as otherwise provided in the Custody Agreement, any fees, expenses and other amounts (except for amounts due as a result of indemnification provisions) due to a Custodian shall be the responsibility of the Servicer.  Any indemnification due a Custodian under a Custody Agreement shall be an obligation of the Trust and payable out of the Trust Estate, and reimbursed in accordance with the Trust Agreement.

Section 9.12

Appointment of Office or Agent.  The Trustee shall appoint an office or agent in The City of New York where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Certificates and the Trust Agreement may be served.  The parties hereto and the Certificateholders hereby acknowledge that the Trustee may delegate or assign to or subcontract with or authorize or appoint any qualified Person to perform and carry out certain non-fiduciary duties or obligations relating to the administration of the Trust, including the duties and obligations of the Certificate Registrar and Paying Agent; provided, however, in no event shall any such delegation, assignment, authorization or appointment relieve the Trustee of its liability with regard to such duties or obligations.  Any such agent shall nevertheless be entitled to all the rights, benefits and protections afforded to the Trustee under Article IX, to the extent assigned to any such agent by the Trustee.

Section 9.13

Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.  The Trustee hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor that as of the Closing Date or as of such other date specifically provided herein:

(c)

The execution, delivery and performance by it of the Trust Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby 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 thereof;

(d)

The execution and delivery of this Trust Agreement by it have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on its part; none of the execution and delivery by it of the Trust Agreement, consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, or compliance by it with the provisions thereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the provisions of its articles of organization or by-laws or any law, governmental rule or regulation or any judgment, decree or order binding on it to its knowledge or any of its properties, or any of the provisions of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, contract or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound;

(e)

There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to its knowledge, threatened or asserted against it, before or by any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body (A) with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Trust Agreement or (B) with respect to any other matter which in its judgment will be determined adversely to it and will if determined adversely to it materially adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under the Trust Agreement; and

(f)

It meets all of the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 9.06 thereof.

ARTICLE X

TERMINATION OF TRUST

Section 10.01

Qualified Liquidation.  The Provisions of this Article X are subject to the requirement that any termination shall be a “qualified liquidation” of each associated REMIC unless 100% of the affected holders of  interests in each such REMIC have consented to waive such requirements.  For this purpose “affected holders” shall mean each holder of a regular or residual interest which would likely receive a smaller amount in final distributions if the termination were not a “qualified liquidation” and REMIC owed taxes as a result hereof.

Section 10.02

Termination.  With respect to each of the Hybrid Loan Group and the Seasoned Loan Group, the Master Servicer (or other party) designated in Section 4.03 of the Trust Agreement may, at its option, make or cause a Person to make a Terminating Purchase for the Termination Price at the time and on the terms and conditions specified in the Trust Agreement.  Upon such Terminating Purchase or the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan related to the Hybrid Loan Group remaining in the Trust or the disposition of the last REO Property related to the Hybrid Loan Group remaining in the Trust, the respective obligations and responsibilities under the Trust Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall terminate with respect to such Hybrid Group Loans, upon payment to the applicable Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Securities Administrator and required hereunder to be so paid and upon deposit of unclaimed funds otherwise distributable to the applicable Certificateholders in the Termination Account; and upon such Terminating Purchase or the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan related to the Seasoned Loan Group remaining in the Trust or the disposition of the last REO Property related to the Seasoned Loan Group remaining in the Trust, the respective obligations and responsibilities under the Trust Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall terminate with respect to such Seasoned Group Loans, upon payment to the applicable Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Securities Administrator and required hereunder to be so paid and upon deposit of unclaimed funds otherwise distributable to the applicable Certificateholders in the Termination Account.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

The Trust also may be terminated and the Certificates retired if the Securities Administrator determines, based upon an Opinion of Counsel, that the REMIC status of any related REMIC has been lost or that a substantial risk exists that such REMIC status will be lost for the then-current taxable year.

Section 10.03

Procedure for Termination.  The Master Servicer (or other party) designated in Section 4.03 of the Trust Agreement shall advise the Securities Administrator in writing of its election to cause a Terminating Purchase (with respect to either the Hybrid Loan Group or the Seasoned Loan Group) no later than the Distribution Date in the month preceding the Distribution Date on which such Terminating Purchase will occur.

Notice of the Distribution Date on which any such termination shall occur (or the Distribution Date on which final payment or other Liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan related to the Hybrid Loan Group, or the Seasoned Loan Group, as applicable, remaining in the Trust or the disposition of the last REO Property related to the Hybrid Loan Group, or the Seasoned Loan Group, as applicable, remaining in the Trust will be distributed to the applicable Certificateholders, as reflected in the Remittance Report for such month (the “Final Distribution Date”)) shall be given promptly by the Securities Administrator by letter to the applicable Certificateholders mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with a Terminating Purchase, not earlier than the 15th day of the month preceding such final distribution and not later than the 5^th day of the month of such final distribution or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the Servicer Remittance Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Final Distribution Date and that final payment of the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office of the Securities Administrator therein designated on that date, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Final Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Securities Administrator.  The Securities Administrator shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.  In the event such notice is given in connection with a Terminating Purchase, the purchaser shall deliver to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Certificate Account on the Business Day immediately preceding the Final Distribution Date an amount in next day funds equal to the Termination Price, as the case may be.

Upon presentation and surrender of the applicable Certificates on a Distribution Date by Certificateholders, the Securities Administrator shall distribute to Certificateholders (A) the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date, if not in connection with a Terminating Purchase, or (B) if in connection with a Terminating Purchase, an amount determined as follows:  with respect to each applicable Certificate with an outstanding Class Principal Balance, the outstanding Class Principal Balance thereof, plus interest thereon through the last day of the month preceding the month in which the Distribution Date fixed for termination occurs and any previously unpaid interest, net of unrealized losses, Realized Interest Shortfall and Shortfall with respect thereto; and in addition, with respect to each applicable Residual Certificate, the Percentage Interest evidenced thereby multiplied by the difference between the Termination Price and the aggregate amount to be distributed as provided in the first clause of this sentence and the next succeeding sentence.

Upon the deposit of the applicable Termination Price in the Certificate Account, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, and any Custodian acting as its agent, shall promptly release to the purchaser the Trustee Mortgage Loan Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans related to the Hybrid Loan Group or the Seasoned Loan Group, as applicable, and the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments without recourse necessary to effectuate such transfer.  

In the event that all of the applicable Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates within six months after the Final Distribution Date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Securities Administrator shall give a second written notice to the remaining applicable Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates and receive the final distribution with respect thereto, net of the cost of such second notice.  If within one year after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the amounts otherwise payable on such Certificates.  Any funds payable to Certificateholders that are not distributed on the Final Distribution Date shall be deposited in a Termination Account, which shall be an Eligible Account, to be held for the benefit of Certificateholders not presenting and surrendering their Certificates in the aforesaid manner, and shall be disposed of in accordance with this Section.  The Securities Administrator shall establish the Termination Accounts, which shall be Eligible Accounts, on or about the Closing Date.

Section 10.04

Additional Termination Requirements.  (a) In the event of a Terminating Purchase as provided in Section 10.02, the related REMIC (and the Trust, if no REMIC shall remain in existence following such Terminating Purchase) shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Securities Administrator receives (i) a Special Tax Opinion and (ii) a Special Tax Consent from each of the Holders of the Residual Certificates (unless the Special Tax Opinion specially provides that no REMIC-level tax will result from the Terminating Purchase):

(A)

Within 90 days prior to the Final Distribution Date, the Depositor and the Trustee on behalf of the related REMIC shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation meeting the requirements of a qualified liquidation under the REMIC Provisions (which plan shall be adopted by the Securities Administrator’s attachment of a statement specifying the first day of the 90-day liquidation period to the REMIC’s final federal income tax return) and the REMIC will sell all of its assets (other than cash), provided that the Depositor and the Trustee shall sign any such plan prepared by the Securities Administrator upon its request;

(B)

Upon making final payment on the related Regular Certificates or the deposit of any unclaimed funds otherwise distributable to the holders of such Regular Certificates in the Termination Account on the Final Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, pro rata, to the Holders of the related Residual Certificates all cash on hand relating to the REMIC after such final payment (other than cash retained to meet claims), and the REMIC shall terminate at that time; and

(C)

In no event may the final payment on the Certificates be made after the 90th day from the date on which the plan of complete liquidation is adopted.  A payment into the Termination Account with respect to any Certificate pursuant to Section 10.03 shall be deemed a final payment on, or final distribution with respect to, such Certificate for the purposes of this clause.

(b)

By its acceptance of a Residual Certificate, the Holder thereof hereby (i) authorizes such action as may be necessary to adopt a plan of complete liquidation of any related REMIC and (ii) agrees to take such action as may be necessary to adopt a plan of complete liquidation of any related REMIC upon the written request of the Trustee, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor Holders of Residual Certificates.

The Trust Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Trust Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (A) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (B) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates, or (C) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, unless each Holder of a Certificate affected by such amendment consents.  For purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 13.01, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or an Affiliate shall be entitled to Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such Certificates.

Prior to consenting to any amendment, each of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel from the Depositor stating that the proposed amendment is authorized and permitted pursuant to this Trust Agreement.

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Securities Administrator shall notify Certificateholders of such amendment and, upon written request, furnish a copy of such amendment to any Certificateholder.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 13.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.  The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Securities Administrator may prescribe.

Section 13.02

Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.  To the extent required by applicable law, the Trust Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, at the expense of the Trust, but only if such recordation is requested by the Depositor and accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be an expense of the Depositor or the Custodian) to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.

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

Section 13.03

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

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

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

Section 13.04

[Reserved].

Section 13.05

Notices.  All demands and notices under the Trust Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered at or mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by express delivery service, to addresses, telecopy numbers or email addresses set forth in the Trust Agreement.  Any notice required or permitted to be mailed to a Certificateholder shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, or by express delivery service, at the address of such Holder as shown in the Certificate Register.  Any notice so mailed within the time prescribed in the Trust Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Certificateholder receives such notice.  A copy of any notice required to be telecopied hereunder also shall be mailed to the appropriate party in the manner set forth above.  A copy of any notice given hereunder to any other party shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator.

Section 13.06

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

Section 13.07

Sale of Mortgage Loans.  It is the express intent of the Depositor and the Trustee that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement be construed as a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee.  It is, further, not the intention of the Depositor and the Trustee that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor.  However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to continue to be property of the Depositor then (a) the Trust Agreement also shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC; (b) the conveyance by the Depositor provided for in the Trust Agreement shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in any Collection Account, the REMIC I Distribution Account or the Certificate Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Trustee or its agent of Notes and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-313 of the UCC; and (d) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.  The Depositor and the Trustee, shall, to the extent consistent with the Trust Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if the Trust Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, 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 Trust Agreement.

Section 13.08

Notice to Rating Agencies.  (a) The Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall use its best efforts promptly to provide notice to the Rating Agency with respect to each of the following of which an Officer of the Securities Administrator has actual knowledge:

(i)

Any notice pursuant to this Section 13.08 shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered or mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid or by express delivery service to each Rating Agency at the address specified in the Trust Agreement.

                                                ) ss.:

COUNTY OF                         )

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

1.

The undersigned is an officer of ___________________, the proposed transferee (the “Transferee”) of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate (the “Certificate”) issued pursuant to the Master Servicing and Trust Agreement dated March 1, 2005 (the “Trust Agreement”), incorporating the Standard Terms to Trust Agreement (March 2005 Edition) (the “Standard Terms,” and together with the Trust Agreement, the “Agreement”), among GS Mortgage Securities Corp., as depositor (the “Depositor”), U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as custodian, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.  The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee.

2.

The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee.  The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Certificate for its own account.  The Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.

3.

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

4.

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

5.

The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.05 of the Standard Terms and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and mandatory sales.  The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.05 of the Standard Terms and the restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate.  The Transferee understands and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.

6.

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

7.

The Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come due, intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future, and understands that the taxes payable with respect to the Certificate may exceed the cash flow with respect thereto in some or all periods and intends to pay such taxes as they become due.  The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Certificate.

8.

The Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is __________.

9.

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

10.

The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a “noneconomic residual interest” within the meaning of proposed Treasury Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

11.

The Transferee will not cause income from the Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee or any other U.S. person.

12.

Check one of the following:

¨  The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:

(i)

the present value of any consideration given to the Transferee to acquire such Certificate;

(ii)

the present value of the expected future distributions on such Certificate; and

(iii)

the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.

For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Transferee has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Transferee.

¨  The transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,

(i)
