First, to each interest in REMIC I having a Corresponding Class of Certificates until the outstanding principal amount of each such interest equals one-half of the outstanding principal amount of the Corresponding Class of Certificates for such interest immediately after such Distribution Date; and

(b)

Second, to the LT-Accrual Interest, any remaining amounts.

REMIC II:

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

Class	Original Class Principal Amount	Pass-Through Rate
Class A-1	$612,849,000	(1)
Class A-2	$223,140,000	(1)
Class A-3	$303,284,000	(1)
Class A-4	$40,111,000	(1)
Class M-1	$60,404,000	(1)
Class M-2	$46,813,000	(1)
Class M-3	$29,447,000	(1)
Class M-4	$27,182,000	(1)
Class M-5	$24,917,000	(1)
Class M-6	$23,406,000	(1)
Class M-7	$21,141,000	(1)
Class M-8	$18,876,000	(1)
Class M-9	$15,101,000	(1)
Class M-10	$15,101,000	(1)
Class C	(2)	(2)
Class P	$100	(3)
Class R (4)	N/A	N/A

(1)

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

(2)

The Class C Certificates have a notional balance equal to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans. The initial interest rate of the Class C Certificates shall be a rate sufficient to cause all net interest from the Mortgage Loans to accrue on the Class C Certificates that is in excess of the amount of interest that accrues on the Class A Certificates and the Class M Certificates. For any Distribution Date, the Pass-Through Rate in respect of the Class C Certificates shall be the excess of: (i) the Net WAC Rate over (ii) the product of: (A) two and (B) the weighted average Pass-Through Rate of the REMIC I Accretion Directed Classes and the LT-Accrual Interest, where the LT-Accrual Interest is subject to a cap equal to zero and each REMIC I Accretion Directed Class is subject to a cap equal to the Pass-Through Rate on its Corresponding Class. The Class C Certificates shall also be entitled to principal equal to the excess of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date (less $100.00) over the aggregate Class Principal Amount of the Class A Certificates and Class M Certificates as of the Closing Date. Such principal balance shall not bear interest.

(3)

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

(4)

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

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

SECTION 1.04.

Rights of the NIMS Insurer.

Each of the rights of the NIMS Insurer set forth in this Agreement shall exist so long as (i) the NIMS Insurer has undertaken to guarantee certain payments of notes issued pursuant to an indenture and (ii) any series of notes issued pursuant to one or more indentures remain outstanding or the NIMS Insurer is owed amounts in respect of its guarantee of payment on such notes; provided, however, that the NIMS Insurer shall not have any rights hereunder so long as (i) the NIMS Insurer has not undertaken to guarantee certain payments of notes issued pursuant to the indenture or (ii) any default has occurred and is continuing under the insurance policy issued by the NIMS Insurer with respect to such notes.

ARTICLE II

CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;
ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES

SECTION 2.01.

Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.

(a)

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

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

In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor does hereby deliver to, and deposit with the Custodian a copy of the related Mortgage Loan Schedule in an electronic, machine readable medium, and the following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so transferred and assigned (each, a “Mortgage File”):

(i)

the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank or in the following form: “Pay to the order of U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee under the applicable agreement, without recourse,” with all prior and intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of endorsement from the originator to the Person so endorsing to the Trustee or a copy of such original Mortgage Note with an accompanying lost note affidavit executed by the Seller;

(ii)

the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon, and a copy, certified by the appropriate recording office, of the recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a power of attorney, with evidence of recording thereon;

(iii)

an original Assignment of the Mortgage in blank;

(iv)

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

(v)

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

(vi)

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

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

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

The Depositor shall cause the Originator, at its expense, to promptly (and in no event later than thirty (30) Business Days, subject to extension upon a mutual agreement among the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee, following the later of the Closing Date and the date of receipt by the Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, of the recording information for a Mortgage) submit or cause to be submitted to the Custodian, as applicable, for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, in the appropriate public office for real property records, each Assignment referred to in clauses (iii) and (iv) above in this Section 2.01(a) and shall execute each original Assignment in the following form: “U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee under the applicable agreement, without recourse.” In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Depositor shall or shall cause the Originator to promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of recording such Assignments, the Depositor may provide to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recording is not required to evidence the Trust’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan.

If any of the documents referred to in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above in this Section 2.01(a) has as of the Closing Date been submitted for recording but either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office or (y) has been lost or such public recording office has retained the original of such document, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Custodian of a copy of each such document certified by the Originator, in the case of (x) above or the applicable public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and complete copy of the original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such copy is certified by the Originator or delivery to the Custodian promptly upon receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified by the applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original. If the original lender’s title insurance policy was not delivered pursuant to clause (vi) above in this Section 2.01(a), the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian promptly after receipt thereof, the original lender’s title insurance policy, if available. The Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian promptly upon receipt thereof any other original documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.

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

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

(b)

It is agreed and understood by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee that it is not intended that any Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust Fund that is a high-cost home loan as defined by the HOEPA or any other applicable predatory or abusive lending laws.

SECTION 2.02.

Acceptance of REMIC I by the Trustee.

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to any exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph below, and pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, in an initial certification to the Trustee, the Custodian has acknowledged receipt of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other than such documents described in Section 2.01(a)(iv)) above, the Securities Administrator acknowledges receipt of amounts, if any, on deposit in each of the Net WAC Reserve Fund and the Distribution Account and the Trustee acknowledges receipt of all other assets included under clauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) of the definition of “REMIC I” (to the extent of amounts deposited into the Distribution Account) and declares that the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage File on behalf of the Trust, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in the definition of “REMIC I” in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Securities Administrator also acknowledges receipt of the amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Reserve Fund in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

The Trustee agrees on or before the Closing Date, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to cause the Custodian to review, each Mortgage File and to cause the Custodian to certify, to the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, neither the Trustee nor the Custodian was under any duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose (including with respect to Section 2.01(a)(vi), whether such title insurance policy insures the priority of the Mortgage as a first lien) or whether they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine whether any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in Section 2.01(a)(v).

Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Seller and the Servicer a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C-2 evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.

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

Enforcement of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Agreement against the Originator or the Seller, respectively, shall be effected by the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee. The Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the Person against which such enforcement is directed; provided, however, if the sources of reimbursement described in clauses (i) and (ii) are insufficient, the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee may seek reimbursement for any remaining unreimbursed costs of such enforcement from the Trust Fund as an Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense.

SECTION 2.03.

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

(a)

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

(ii)

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

(b)

(i)

As promptly as practicable (and no later than 90 days) after the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt of notice by the Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Servicer set forth in Section 2.05(a) which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.

(ii)

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

(c)

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

As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Originator, the Seller or the Depositor substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Originator, the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, delivering to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Shortfall Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The Custodian shall acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter, review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, the Securities Administrator and the Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the Custodian shall deliver to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Originator, the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the month of substitution, and the Originator, the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Securities Administrator in an electronic format. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and part of the related Group and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement, including, in the case of a substitution effected by the Originator or the Seller, all applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Agreement, respectively, and in the case of a substitution effected by the Depositor, all applicable representations and warranties thereof set forth in Section 2.04.

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

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

(d)

Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Originator, the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(c), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall cause such repurchase or substitution to be made by (i) the Originator, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Originator under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, (ii) the Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage is a breach of any representation or warranty of the Depositor set forth in Section 2.04, or if its status as a non-qualified mortgage is a breach of any representation or warranty (other than a representation and warranty of the Originator or the Seller) or (iii) the Seller, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage is a breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller set forth in Section 2.05(b)(i), (ii) and (iii), or if its status as a non-qualified mortgage is a breach of any representation or warranty (other than a representation and warranty of the Originator or the Depositor). Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Originator, the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.

SECTION 2.04.

Representations and Warranties of the Depositor.

The Depositor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator that as of the Closing Date:

(i)

the Depositor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws governing its creation and existence and has full corporate power and authority to own its property, to carry on its business as presently conducted, to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, and to create the trust pursuant hereto;

(ii)

the execution and delivery by the Depositor of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Depositor; neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions hereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the provisions of any law, governmental rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on the Depositor or its properties or the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Depositor;

(iii)

the execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any state, federal or other governmental authority or agency, except such as has been obtained, given, effected or taken prior to the date hereof;

(iv)

this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Depositor and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee, the Servicer, the Seller and the Securities Administrator, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Depositor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except as such enforceability may be subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors generally and (B) general principles of equity regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

(v)

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

(iii)

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

(vii)

The Servicer will not waive any Prepayment Premium or part of a Prepayment Premium unless such waiver would, in the reasonable opinion of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Premium and related Mortgage Loan and doing so is standard and customary in servicing mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans (including any waiver of a Prepayment Premium in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is related to a default or an imminent default), and in no event will it waive a Prepayment Premium in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is not related to a default or an imminent default.

(iii)

In addition, the Seller hereby represents and warrants that, as of the Closing Date, (i) no Mortgage Loan is subject to the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or any applicable, similar federal, state or local statutes or regulations related to “high cost” mortgage loans or “predatory,” “high cost,” “threshold” or “covered” lending (as such terms are defined in the applicable statute or regulation), (ii) no Mortgage Loan is (w) a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003, (x) a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act effective January 1, 2004, (y) a “High Cost Loan” or “Covered Loan” (as such terms are defined in the then-current S&P’s LEVELS® Glossary), or (z) governed by the Georgia Fair Lending Act, if such Mortgage Loan was originated on or after October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003, (iii) each Mortgage Loan at origination complied in all material respects with applicable local, state and federal laws, including, but not limited to, applicable anti-predatory and abusive lending laws, and (iv) each Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of 860G(a)(3) of the Code.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

SECTION 3.01.

Servicer to Act as Servicer.

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

(i)

any relationship that the Servicer, any related Sub-Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer or any related Sub-Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor;

(ii)

the ownership or non-ownership of any Certificate by the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer;

(iii)

the Servicer’s obligation to make P&I Advances or Servicing Advances; or

(iv)

the Servicer’s or any related Sub-Servicer’s right to receive compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction.

To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer shall seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes. Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through a Sub-Servicer or Sub-Servicers, as the case may be, as provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in the name of the Trust is hereby authorized and empowered when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in accordance with the servicing standards set forth above, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trust Fund, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf of the Trust Fund and Certificateholders. Subject to Section 6.03, the Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it protect its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio with respect to any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby. The Servicer shall also comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any standard hazard insurance policy. Promptly upon request, but subject to Section 3.17, the Trustee shall execute and furnish to the Servicer and any Sub-Servicer such documents as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee hereby grants to the Servicer and each Sub-Servicer a special or limited power of attorney to carry out such duties including a power of attorney for each county in which a related Mortgaged Property is located to enable the Servicer to take title and dispose of the related Mortgaged Properties after foreclosure on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. The Trustee shall execute a separate power of attorney in favor of the Servicer to the extent furnished to the Trustee by the Servicer and/or each Sub-Servicer for the purposes described herein to the extent necessary or desirable to enable the Servicer to perform its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer under such powers of attorney.

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

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a related Mortgage Loan (except as provided in Section 4.03) nor shall the Servicer (i) except as provided in Section 3.07, when the related Mortgagor is in default with respect to such Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable, permit any modification with respect to any related Mortgage Loan that would change the related Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan or (ii) permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any related Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions after the startup date” under the REMIC Provisions.

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

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

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

SECTION 3.02.

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

(a)

The Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements (provided that (i) such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the ratings on any Class of Certificates, as evidenced by a letter to that effect delivered by each Rating Agency to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee and (ii) the NIMS Insurer shall have consented to such Sub-Servicing Agreement) with one or more Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the related Mortgage Loans. The Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee is hereby authorized to acknowledge, at the request of the Servicer, any Sub-Servicing Agreement that meets the requirements applicable to Sub-Servicing Agreements set forth in this Agreement and that is otherwise permitted under this Agreement.

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

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

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

(b)

As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer (except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), for the benefit of the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer servicing the related Mortgage Loans under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of Delinquent payments as required by the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.

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

SECTION 3.03.

Successor Sub-Servicers.

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

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

SECTION 3.04.

Liability of the Servicer.

Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise (including, without limitation, Section 3.02(c) and the first paragraph of Section 3.18), the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the related Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the related Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification; provided that no such indemnification shall be an expense of the Trust.

SECTION 3.05.

No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and NIMS Insurer, Trustee, Securities Administrator or Certificateholders.

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

SECTION 3.06.

Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by Securities Administrator.

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

The Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Securities Administrator, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the related Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.

SECTION 3.07.

Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

(a)

The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any applicable insurance policies, follow such collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the due dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 270 days; provided that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Servicer shall make timely P&I Advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.03 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements, subject to Section 4.03(d) pursuant to which the Servicer shall not be required to make any such P&I Advances that are Nonrecoverable P&I Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that would change the related Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any related Mortgagor.

(b)

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

(c)

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

SECTION 3.08.

Sub-Servicing Accounts.

In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the related Sub-Servicer will be required to establish and maintain one or more accounts (each such account or accounts, a “Sub-Servicing Account”). Each Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account. Each Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after such Sub-Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of the related Mortgage Loans received by such Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation to the extent permitted by the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall thereafter deposit such amounts in the related Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account. Each Sub-Servicer shall thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the related Sub-Servicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the related Mortgage Loans when the related Sub-Servicer receives such payments.

SECTION 3.09.

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

The Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more accounts (each such account or accounts, a “Servicing Account”). The Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from a related Sub-Servicer) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors (“Escrow Payments”) collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and shall thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the related Servicing Accounts, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of good funds in the clearing account, for the purpose of effecting the payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement) out of related collections for any advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 (with respect to hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest to the Servicer or, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account; (v) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of the Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with Article IX or (vi) recover amounts deposited in error. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer or Sub-Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in the Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. The Servicer will be responsible for the administration of the Servicing Accounts and will be obligated to make Servicing Advances to the Servicing Account in respect of its obligations under this Section 3.09, reimbursable from the Servicing Accounts or Collection Account, when and as necessary to avoid the lapse of insurance coverage on the Mortgaged Property, or which the Servicer knows, or in the exercise of the required standard of care of the Servicer hereunder should know, is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien.

SECTION 3.10.

Collection Account and Distribution Account.

(a)

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

(i)

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

(ii)

all payments on account of interest (net of the Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage Loan;

(iii)

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

(iv)

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

(v)

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

(vi)

all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in accordance with Section 2.03, Section 3.16(c) or Section 9.01 and all Servicer Prepayment Premium Payment Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(ii);

(vii)

all Substitution Shortfall Amounts; and

(viii)

all Prepayment Premiums collected by the Servicer.

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

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

(b)

On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution Account on or before 10:00 a.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available Funds (calculated without regard to the references in clause (2) of the definition thereof to amounts that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection Account, the amount of all Prepayment Premiums on the Mortgage Loans collected by the Servicer in connection with the voluntary Principal Prepayment in full or in part of any of the Mortgage Loans and any Servicer Prepayment Premium Payment Amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account (other than any such Prepayment Premiums received after the related Prepayment Period). If the balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day and the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of “Eligible Account,” the Servicer shall, on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day, withdraw from the Collection Account any and all amounts payable or reimbursable to itself, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Seller or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 and shall pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto. If the Servicer fails to remit to the Securities Administrator for distribution to the Certificateholders any payment, including any P&I Advance to be made by the Servicer on the Servicer Remittance Date (without regard to any grace period), the Servicer shall pay to the Securities Administrator, for the account of the Securities Administrator, interest on such late remittance from and including the Servicer Remittance Date to but excluding the date on which such remittance is made, at an annual rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus one percentage point (but in no event greater than the maximum permitted by law).

(c)

Funds in the Collection Account may be invested by the Servicer in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, NIMS Insurer and the Depositor of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof. The Securities Administrator shall give notice to the Servicer, NIMS Insurer and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account when established and prior to any change thereof. The funds on deposit in the Distribution Account shall be held uninvested.

(d)

Funds held in a Collection Account at any time may be delivered by the Servicer to the Securities Administrator for deposit in an account (which may be the Distribution Account and must satisfy the standards for the Distribution Account as set forth in the definition thereof) and for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part of such Collection Account until the Servicer Remittance Date when such amounts are required to be deposited into the Distribution Account; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall have the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant to this subsection (d). In the event that the Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time request that the Securities Administrator withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it any such amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition, the Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator from time to time for deposit and in any event shall remit all such amounts no later than the Servicer Remittance Date, and the Securities Administrator shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account:

(i)

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

(ii)

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

(iii)

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

(iv)

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

SECTION 3.11.

Withdrawals from the Collection Account and Distribution Account.

(a)

The Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account for any of the following purposes or as described in Section 4.03:

(i)

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

(ii)

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

(iii)

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

(iv)

to pay itself as servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee) on the Servicer Remittance Date any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.12(b);

(v)

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

(vi)

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

(vii)

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

(viii)

to reimburse itself, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee, as the case may be, for expenses reasonably incurred in respect of the breach or defect giving rise to the purchase obligation under Section 2.03 or Section 2.04 of this Agreement that were included in the Purchase Price of the Mortgage Loan, including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the purchase obligation;

(ix)

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

(x)

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

(xi)

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

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

(b)

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

(i)

to make distributions to Certificateholders, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor in accordance with Section 4.01;

(ii)

to pay any Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses;

(iii)

Reserved;

(iv)

to reimburse itself pursuant to Section 7.01 to the extent such amounts in Section 7.01 were not reimbursed by the Servicer;

(v)

to pay any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to Section 10.01(g)(iii);

(vi)

to remit to the Servicer any amount deposited in the Distribution Account by the Servicer but not required to be deposited therein in accordance with Section 3.10(b) or (d); and

(vii)

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

SECTION 3.12.

Investment of Funds in the Collection Account, the REO Account and the Distribution Account.

(a)

The Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account and any REO Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, each an “Investment Account”), to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand.

(b)

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

(c)

Funds in the Distribution Account shall remain uninvested.

(d)

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

SECTION 3.13.

Superior Liens.

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

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

SECTION 3.14.

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

(a)

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

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an insurer that generally would be acceptable under Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac servicing guidelines insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or related REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of this Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

(b)

The Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the performance of the Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that would meet the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer (upon its reasonable request) with copies of any such insurance policies and fidelity bond. The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if an Affiliate of the Servicer has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any such errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty days’ prior written notice to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer. The Servicer shall also cause each Sub-Servicer to maintain a comparable policy of insurance covering errors and omissions and a fidelity bond meeting such requirements.

SECTION 3.15.

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

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

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

SECTION 3.16.

Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

(a)

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

(b)

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

(1)

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

(2)

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

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

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

(c)

The Servicer or the NIMS Insurer may, at its option, purchase from the Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property that is 90 days or more Delinquent, which the Servicer determines in good faith will otherwise become subject to foreclosure proceedings (evidence of such determination to be delivered in writing to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator prior to purchase), at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided, however, that the Servicer shall purchase any such Mortgage Loans or related REO Properties on the basis of delinquency, purchasing the most Delinquent Mortgage Loans or related REO Properties first. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall release or cause to be released to the Servicer the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Servicer shall furnish and as shall be necessary to vest in the Servicer title to any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property released pursuant hereto.

(d)

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

(e)

The Servicer may (but is not obligated to) enter into a special servicing agreement with an unaffiliated holder of a 100% Percentage Interest of the most junior Class of Mezzanine Certificates (the “Special Servicer”), subject to each Rating Agency’s acknowledgment that the ratings of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to the entering into such agreement would not be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn and the Certificates would not be placed on credit review status (except for possible upgrading) as a result of such agreement. Any such agreement may contain provisions whereby such Special Servicer may (i) purchase delinquent Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund immediately prior to the commencement of foreclosure proceedings at a price equal to the Purchase Price, and/or (ii) assume all of the servicing rights and obligations with respect to delinquent Mortgage Loans so long as such Holder (A) meets the requirements for a Sub-servicer set forth in Section 3.02(a), (B) will service such Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and (C) the Servicer has the right to transfer such servicing rights without the payment of any compensation to a Sub-servicer.

(f)

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

SECTION 3.17.

Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.

(a)

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will promptly notify the Trustee and the Custodian by a certification in the form of Exhibit E-1 (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will be so deposited) signed by a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to the Servicer of the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Custodian shall, within five Business Days, release and mailing by overnight mail of the related Mortgage File to the Servicer.

(b)

From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Custodian shall, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Custodian, if permitted by the related Custodial Agreement, of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E-1, cause the release of the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and the Trustee shall, at the direction of the Servicer, execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings and the Servicer shall retain such Mortgage File in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Servicer to return each and every document previously requested from such Mortgage File to the Custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the related Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to such Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection Account or the related Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the related Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered to the Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of such Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, such Mortgage Loan shall be released by the Custodian to the Servicer or its designee.

(c)

Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents reasonably necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the related Mortgage Note or related Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by such Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity, or shall execute and deliver to the Servicer a power of attorney sufficient to authorize the Servicer or a Sub-Servicer to execute such documents on its behalf, provided that the Trustee shall be obligated to execute the documents identified above if necessary to enable the Servicer or a Sub-Servicer to perform their respective duties hereunder. Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution thereof by the Trustee and delivery thereof by the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the related Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale.

SECTION 3.18.

Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for the activities of the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments of interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.24. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Late Collections, Insurance Proceeds, condemnation proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds and as otherwise permitted by Section 3.11(a) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23. Except as expressly provided in Sections 6.04 and 7.02 herein, the right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Servicer may pay from the related Servicing Fee any amounts due to a related Sub-Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into under Section 3.02; provided further that the Servicer may assign a portion of its Servicing Fee to an affiliate of the Servicer in connection with the ownership by such affiliate of the servicing rights attributable to the Mortgage Loans (provided that any right, title or interest of such affiliate in such portion of the Servicing Fee shall be subject to termination of the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption or modification fees, late payment charges, insufficient funds fees, reconveyance fees and other ancillary fees (other than Prepayment Premiums) shall be retained by the Servicer (subject to Section 3.24) only to the extent such fees or charges are received by the Servicer. The Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account, and pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.12 and Section 3.24. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including premiums for the insurance required by Section 3.14, to the extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a related Sub-Servicer, it being understood however, that payment of such premiums by the Servicer shall constitute Servicing Advances), servicing compensation of any Sub-Servicer and to the extent provided herein in Section 8.05, the indemnification of the Trustee, and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.

SECTION 3.19.

Reports to the Securities Administrator; Collection Account Statements and Other Reporting Obligations.

Not later than thirty days after each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall forward to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor a statement prepared by the Servicer setting forth the status of the Collection Account as of the close of business on such Distribution Date and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of deposits into and withdrawals from the Collection Account of each category of deposit specified in Section 3.10(a) and each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.11(a). Such statement may be in the form of the then current Fannie Mae Monthly Accounting Report for its Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Program with appropriate additions and changes, and shall also include information as to the aggregate of the outstanding principal balances of all of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding such Distribution Date. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Securities Administrator to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Securities Administrator as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon request and at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Securities Administrator. The Securities Administrator shall have no responsibility to review or reconcile the information in such statements. In addition, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law the Servicer shall provide to the Securities Administrator for purposes of forwarding to the holder of the Residual Certificates, such statement and all other loan level information relating to the Mortgage Loans that the Holder of the Residual Certificates may reasonably request, and that is reasonably available to the Servicer; provided, however, that such request will be at the expense of such Holder of the Residual Certificates.

SECTION 3.20.

Statement as to Compliance.

SECTION 3.21.

Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.

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

SECTION 3.22.

Access to Certain Documentation.

The Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC, and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement, as may be required by applicable laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it. Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. Nothing in this Section 3.22 shall require the Servicer to collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information that it does not generate in its usual course of business. The Servicer shall not be required to make copies of or ship documents to any party unless provisions have been made for the reimbursement of the costs thereof.

SECTION 3.23.

Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

(a)

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

(b)

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

(c)

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

(i)

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

(ii)

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

(iii)

all costs and expenses necessary to maintain, operate and dispose of such REO Property.

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to an REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer shall advance from its own funds as Servicing Advances such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only if, the Servicer would make such advances if it owned such REO Property and if in the Servicer’s sole judgment, the payment of such amounts will be recoverable from the rental or sale of such REO Property.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall not:

(i)

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

(ii)

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

(iii)

authorize any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

(iv)

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

unless, in any such case, the Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel, provided to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held by the Trust Fund, in which case the Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.

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

(i)

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

(ii)

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

(iii)

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

(iv)

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

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

(d)

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

(e)

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

(f)

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

(g)

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

SECTION 3.24.

Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.

The Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account on or before 1:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds an amount (such amount, “Compensating Interest”) equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the related Determination Date resulting solely from Principal Prepayments in full or in part for any Mortgage Loan during the related Prepayment Period and (ii) the aggregate Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date. The Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for any amounts remitted to the Securities Administrator in respect of Compensating Interest. Such amounts remitted shall be included in the Available Funds and distributed therewith on the related Distribution Date. The Servicer shall not be obligated to pay Compensating Interest with respect to Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.

SECTION 3.25.

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

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

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

SECTION 3.26.

Net WAC Reserve Fund; Yield Maintenance Agreement.

(a)

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

(b)

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

(i)

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

(a)

pro rata, to the Class A Certificates, any related unpaid Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts for such classes,

(b)

from and to the extent of amounts in respect of the Yield Maintenance Agreement, sequentially, to the Class M-1 Certificates, the Class M-2 Certificates, the Class M-3 Certificates, the Class M-4 Certificates, the Class M-5 Certificates, the Class M-6 Certificates, the Class M-7 Certificates, the Class M-8 Certificates, the Class M-9 Certificates and the Class M-10 Certificates, in that order, any related unpaid Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts for such classes,

(ii)

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

(a)

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

(b)

sequentially, to the Class M-1 Certificates, the Class M-2 Certificates, the Class M-3 Certificates, the Class M-4 Certificates, the Class M-5 Certificates, the Class M-6 Certificates, the Class M-7 Certificates, the Class M-8 Certificates, the Class M-9 Certificates and the Class M-10 Certificates, in that order, any related remaining unpaid Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount.

(c)

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

(d)

The Seller, the Depositor and the Certificateholders by acceptance of their Certificates acknowledge and agree that the Trustee shall execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Yield Maintenance Agreement and shall do so solely in its capacity as Trustee of the Trust Fund and not in its individual capacity. The Trustee is hereby directed to represent and warrant to the Yield Maintenance Agreement Provider under the Yield Maintenance Agreement that the beneficial owner for United States federal income tax purposes of payments made under the Yield Maintenance Agreements is a “U.S. person” (as that term is used in section 1.1441-4(a)(3)(ii) of United States Treasury Regulations (the "Regulations")) for United States federal income tax purposes.

SECTION 3.27.

[Reserved].

SECTION 3.28.

Advance Facility.

(a)

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

(b)

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

(c)

Advance Reimbursement Amounts shall consist solely of amounts in respect of P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances made with respect to the Mortgage Loans for which the Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with Section 3.11(a)(ii), (iii), (vi) and (ix) hereof, assuming the Servicer had made the related P&I Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing (subject to Section 3.28(a) above), no Advancing Person shall be entitled to reimbursement from funds held in the Collection Account for future distribution to Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.03. The Securities Administrator shall not have any duty or liability with respect to the calculation of any Advance Reimbursement Amount and shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation on the Advance Facility Notice and on the Servicer’s report of the amount of P&I Advance Reimbursement Amounts and Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts that were included in the remittance from the Servicer to the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(i). Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall have any additional responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the Advance Facility or the payment of Advance Reimbursement Amounts to the Servicer’s Assignee. The Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor servicer a detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advancing Person. The successor servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by the predecessor servicer, and the successor servicer shall not be liable for any errors in such information.

(d)

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

(e)

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

(f)

The Servicer who enters into an Advance Facility shall indemnify the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Trust and any successor servicer, as applicable, from and against any claims, losses, liabilities or damages resulting from any claim by the Advancing Person relating to the Advance Facility.

(g)

Any amendment to this Section 3.28 or to any other provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.28, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Seller and the Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder, but with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.01 of or elsewhere in this Agreement. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) of each party hereto of any such amendment shall be borne solely by the Servicer. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that: (a) the Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by and/or pledged to an Advance Financing Person under any Advance Facility are obligations owed to the Servicer payable only from the cash flows and proceeds received under this Agreement for reimbursement of Advances and/or Servicing Advances only to the extent provided herein, and the Securities Administrator and the Trust are not, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, obligated or liable to repay any Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by the Advance Financing Person; (b) the Servicer will be responsible for remitting to the Advance Financing Person the applicable amounts colleted by it as reimbursement for Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by the Advance Financing Person, subject to the provisions of this Agreement; and (c) the Securities Administrator shall not have any responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the financing arrangement between the Servicer and any Advance Financing Person.

Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents.

(d)

The rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the Certificates, and all interests of the Certificateholders in such distributions, shall be as set forth in this Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Securities Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall, as soon as practicable after the related Determination Date, mail to each Holder on such date of such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect that:

(i)

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

(ii)

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

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

(f)

The Interest Remittance Amount distributed pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(1)(ii) above will be applied to the Senior Certificates as follows: amounts distributed to the Class A Certificates will first reduce the Interest Remittance Amount of the related Group. Reductions in the Group 1 and Group 2 Interest Remittance Amounts will be applied to the Group 1 and Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-4 Certificates, respectively, pro rata, based on the amount of interest due to each such class. If the related Interest Remittance Amount is insufficient, additional amounts will reduce the remaining Interest Remittance Amounts of the other Group, after giving effect to the foregoing allocations.

Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, upon written request or request by facsimile, the Securities Administrator shall furnish to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Holder of a Residual Certificate a statement setting forth the amount, if any, actually distributed with respect to the Residual Certificates, as appropriate, aggregated for such calendar year or applicable 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 prepared by the Securities Administrator and furnished to such Holders pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Code as are in force from time to time.

The Securities Administrator shall, upon request, furnish to each Certificateholder, during the term of this Agreement, such periodic, special, or other reports or information, whether or not provided for herein, as shall be reasonable with respect to the Certificateholder, or otherwise with respect to the purposes of this Agreement, all such reports or information to be provided at the expense of the Certificateholder in accordance with such reasonable and explicit instructions and directions as the Certificateholder may provide. For purposes of this Section 4.02, the Securities Administrator’s duties are limited to the extent that the Securities Administrator receives timely reports as required from the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.19 and Section 4.03(a) hereof.

On each Distribution Date the Securities Administrator shall provide Bloomberg Financial Markets, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) loan level data with respect to all of the Mortgage Loans and CUSIP level factors for each Class of Certificates as of such Distribution Date, using a format and media mutually acceptable to the Securities Administrator and Bloomberg. In addition if so requested by the Originator, on each Distribution Date the Securities Administrator shall provide to the Originator and at the expense of the Originator, the loan level data with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

No later than five (5) Business Days prior to each Distribution Date for so long as the Yield Maintenance Agreement is outstanding, the Depositor shall provide to the Securities Administrator the aggregate Class Principal Amount of the Senior and Mezzanine Certificates held by the Seller, the Depositor or any of their respective affiliates, provided, the Depositor shall not be required to give such notice if the Seller, the Depositor or any of their respective affiliates do not own any such Certificates. The Securities Administrator shall provide such aggregate principal amount to the Counterparty on such fifth preceding Business Day if it receives notice of such holdings from the Depositor.

SECTION 4.03.

Remittance Reports; P&I Advances.

(a)

No later than four (4) Business Days prior to each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator electronically (or such other means as the Servicer and the Securities Administrator may agree from time to time) a Remittance Report with respect to each Mortgage Loan for the prior calendar month. In addition, no later than four Business Days prior to each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator delinquency information with respect to each Mortgage Loan and P&I Advances including (i) the amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Servicer in respect of the related Distribution Date, the aggregate amount of P&I Advances outstanding after giving effect to such P&I Advances, and the aggregate amount of Nonrecoverable P&I Advances in respect of such Distribution Date and (ii) such other information with respect to the Mortgage Loans as the Securities Administrator may reasonably require to perform the calculations necessary to make the distributions contemplated by Section 4.01 and to prepare the statements to Certificateholders contemplated by Section 4.02. The Securities Administrator shall not be responsible to recompute, recalculate or verify any information provided to it by the Servicer.

(b)

The amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Servicer for any Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.03(d), the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net of the Servicing Fee), due on the related Due Date in respect of the Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments were Delinquent as of the close of business on the related Determination Date, plus (ii) with respect to each REO Property, which REO Property was acquired during or prior to the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date and as to which such REO Property an REO Disposition did not occur during the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net of the Servicing Fee) that would have been due on the related Due Date in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, over the net income from such REO Property transferred to the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.23 for distribution on such Distribution Date.

On or before 1:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution (in which case, it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.03, used by the Servicer in discharge of any such P&I Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer’s records and replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date on which such funds would be due. Nothing in this Section 4.03(b) shall be construed to prohibit the Servicer from reimbursing itself at any time from the Collection Account to the extent provided in Section 3.11 herein.

(c)

The obligation of the Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to (d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall continue until a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith or the removal thereof from the Trust Fund pursuant to any applicable provision of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section.

(d)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if such P&I Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The determination by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively, shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee. In addition, the Servicer shall not be required to advance Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.

SECTION 4.04.

Allocation of Realized Losses.

(a)

No later than four (4) Business Days prior to each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall determine as to each Mortgage Loan and REO Property: (i) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Final Recovery Determinations made during the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date; (ii) whether and the extent to which such Realized Losses constituted Bankruptcy Losses and (iii) the respective portions of such Realized Losses allocable to interest and allocable to principal. No later than four (4) Business Days prior to each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall also determine as to each Mortgage Loan: (A) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Deficient Valuations made during the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date and (B) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with Debt Service Reductions in respect of Monthly Payments due during the related Due Period. The information described in the two preceding sentences that is to be supplied by the Servicer shall be evidenced by a written report delivered to the Securities Administrator by the Servicer no later than four (4) Business Days prior to each Distribution Date immediately following the end of (x) in the case of Bankruptcy Losses allocable to interest, the Due Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred, and (y) in the case of all other Realized Losses, the Prepayment Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred.

(b)

If on any Distribution Date after giving effect to all Realized Losses incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loans during or prior to the related Due Period and distributions of principal with respect to the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates on such Distribution Date, the aggregate Class Principal Amount of the LIBOR Certificates exceeds the Aggregate Collateral Balance on such date, the amount of such excess shall be allocated by the Securities Administrator on such Distribution Date as follows: first, to the Class M-10 Certificates, until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; second, to the Class M-9 Certificates, until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; third, to the Class M-8 Certificates, until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M-7 Certificates, until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Class M-6 Certificates, until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Class M-5 Certificates, until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Class M-4 Certificates, until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the Class M-3 Certificates, until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; ninth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; and tenth, to the Class M-1 Certificates, until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero.

(c)

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

(d)

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

SECTION 4.05.

Compliance with Withholding Requirements.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the Securities Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding.

SECTION 4.06.

Tax Returns; Commission Reporting.

(a)

The Securities Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared on behalf of the Trust Fund, based upon information calculated in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to instructions given by the Depositor, and the Securities Administrator shall file federal tax returns, all in accordance with Article X hereof, which returns the Trustee, upon written direction of the Securities Administrator, shall sign. If the Depositor notifies the Securities Administrator in writing that a state tax return or other return is required, then, at the sole expense of the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file such state income tax returns and such other returns as may be required by applicable law relating to the Trust Fund, and, if required by state law, shall file any other documents to the extent required by applicable state tax law (to the extent such documents are in the Securities Administrator’s possession). The Securities Administrator shall forward copies to the Depositor of all such returns and Form 1099 supplemental tax information and such other information within the control of the Securities Administrator as the Depositor may reasonably request in writing, and shall forward to each Certificateholder such forms and furnish such information within the control of the Securities Administrator as are required by the Code and the REMIC Provisions to be furnished to them, and will prepare and forward to Certificateholders Form 1099 (supplemental tax information) (or otherwise furnish information within the control of the Securities Administrator) to the extent required by applicable law. The Servicer will indemnify the Securities Administrator and the Trustee for any liability of or assessment against the Securities Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, resulting from any error in any of such tax or information returns directly resulting from errors in the information provided by the Servicer.

(b)

The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), on behalf of the Trust Fund and each REMIC created hereunder, an application for an employer identification number on IRS Form SS 4 or by any other acceptable method. The Securities Administrator shall also file a Form 8811 as required. The Securities Administrator, upon receipt from the IRS of the Notice of Taxpayer Identification Number Assigned, shall upon request promptly forward a copy of such notice to the Trustee and the Depositor. The Securities Administrator shall furnish any other information that is required by the Code and regulations thereunder to be made available to the Certificateholders. The Servicer and the Depositor shall provide the Securities Administrator with such information as is necessary for the Securities Administrator to prepare such documents.

(c)

Within 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall, on behalf of the Trust and in accordance with industry standards, file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (EDGAR), a Form 8 K (or other comparable form containing the same or comparable information or other information mutually agreed upon) with a copy of the report to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to March 30, 2006 (and, if applicable, prior to March 30 of each year), the Securities Administrator shall, on behalf of the Trust and in accordance with industry standards, file with the Commission via EDGAR a Form 10 K with respect to the Trust Fund. The Form 10-K shall also include a certification (the “Form 10 K Certification”) required pursuant to Rule 13a 14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which shall be signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of securitization. To the extent any information or exhibits required to be included in the Form 10 K are not timely received by the Securities Administrator prior to March 30, the Securities Administrator shall, on behalf of the Trust, file one or more amended Form 10-Ks to include such missing information or exhibits promptly after receipt thereof by the Securities Administrator. Promptly following the first date legally permissible under applicable regulations and interpretations of the Commission, the Securities Administrator shall, on behalf of the Trust and in accordance with industry standards, file with the Commission via EDGAR a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust Fund, if applicable. Each of the Servicer and the Trustee agree to furnish to the Securities Administrator promptly, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the Securities Administrator reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. The Securities Administrator shall have no responsibility to file any items with the Commission other than those specified in this section and the Depositor shall execute any and all form 8-Ks and 10-Ks required hereunder. The Securities Administrator shall send any form 8-Ks required to be filed pursuant to this Section 4.06(c) to the Depositor no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the required date of such filing. In connection with preparation of the Form 10-K Certification, the Securities Administrator agrees to provide the Depositor with a backup certification (the “Securities Administrator Certification”) regarding certain aspects of items 1 through 3 of the 10-K Certification and indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the Securities Administrator’s obligations under this Section 4.06(c). If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.06(c) is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor, then the Securities Administrator shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and the Securities Administrator on the other. The Securities Administrator acknowledges that the Depositor is relying on the Securities Administrator’s performance of its obligations under this Section 4.06(c) in order to perform its obligations under Section 4.06(c). In connection with preparation of the Form 10-K Certification, the Servicer agrees to provide the Depositor with a backup certification (the “Servicer Certification”) regarding certain aspects of items 4 and 5 of the 10-K Certification and indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the Servicer’s obligations under this Section 4.06(c). If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.06(c) is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor, then the Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and the Servicer on the other. The Servicer acknowledges that the Depositor is relying on the Servicer’s performance of its obligations under this Section 4.06(c) in order to perform its obligations under Section 4.06(c).

ARTICLE V

THE CERTIFICATES

SECTION 5.01.

The Certificates.

(a)

The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets included in the Trust Fund. The Certificates of each Class will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-5 and will be issuable in registered form only. Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the related Class.

The Senior and Mezzanine Certificates are issuable only in minimum denominations corresponding to minimum initial Class Principal Amounts of $25,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Class P Certificates are issuable only in minimum denominations corresponding to minimum initial Class Principal Amounts of $20 and integral multiples of $20 thereof. The Class C Certificates are issuable only in minimum denominations corresponding to a minimum initial Notional Amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Residual Certificates are issuable in minimum denominations corresponding to minimum Percentage Interests of 20% and multiple thereof

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

(b)

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

The Trustee, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners. The Securities Administrator may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.

If (i)(A) the Depository advises the Securities Administrator in writing that it is no longer willing, qualified or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor, or (ii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, with the consent of the applicable Depository Participant, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates at their option advise the Trustee and DTC in writing that they elect to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository, the Securities Administrator shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Securities Administrator of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as applicable, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the Securities Administrator shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Such Definitive Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of $25,000, except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry Certificate in an amount less than $25,000 immediately prior to the issuance of a Definitive Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination equal to the amount represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Securities Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Securities Administrator shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

SECTION 5.02.

Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a)

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

(b)

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

(c)

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

(ii)

[Reserved]

(iii)

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

(d)

(i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Securities Administrator or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

(A)

Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Securities Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.

(B)

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

(C)

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

(D)

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

(E)

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

(ii)

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

(iii)

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

(B)

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

(iv)

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

(v)

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

(A)

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

(B)

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

(e)

Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Securities Administrator maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12, 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.

(f)

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

(g)

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.

(h)

All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be canceled and destroyed by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary procedures.

(i)

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 to provide the Securities Administrator with an updated copy of the Certificate Registrar on the first Business Day in August of each year, commencing in August 2005.

SECTION 5.03.

Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar, or the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Securities Administrator and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual knowledge by the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and of like denomination and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Securities Administrator may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable REMIC created hereunder, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

SECTION 5.04.

Persons Deemed Owners.

The Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator 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 pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 5.05.

ARTICLE VI

THE DEPOSITOR, THE SELLER AND THE SERVICER

SECTION 6.01.

Liability of the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer.

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

SECTION 6.02.

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

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

The Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to the Servicer shall be a servicer of Mortgage Loans on behalf of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and shall otherwise meet the requirements of a successor servicer set forth in Section 7.02.

SECTION 6.03.

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

None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties, representations or covenants made herein, or against any specific liability imposed on the Servicer, the Seller or Depositor pursuant hereto, or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense (i) in the case of the Servicer, relating to the Servicer’s failure to service any Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement, unless such loss, liability or expense is otherwise reimburseable pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and, in its opinion, does not involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, unless the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer acts without the consent of Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights (which consent shall not be necessary in the case of litigation or other legal action by either to enforce or perform their respective rights or obligations under this Agreement or defend themselves hereunder), the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as and to the extent provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account.

The Servicer indemnifies and holds the Trustee, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Securities Administrator, their respective officers, directors, employees and agents and the Trust Fund harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor if a claim is made that may result in such claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees or related costs, judgments, or any other costs, fees and expenses, and the Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the Servicer, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the NIMS Insurer, their respective officers, directors, employees and agents and/or the Trust Fund in respect of such claim. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and the payment of the outstanding Certificates. Any payment hereunder made by the Servicer to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be from the Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust Fund.

SECTION 6.04.

Limitation on Resignation of the Servicer.

The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or (ii) with the written consent of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the NIMS Insurer and written confirmation from each Rating Agency (which confirmation shall be furnished to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee) that such resignation will not cause such Rating Agency to reduce the then-current rating of the Offered Certificates. Any such determination pursuant to the preceding sentence permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the Servicer and delivered to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator. No resignation of the Servicer shall become effective until the Securities Administrator or a successor servicer shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this Agreement. With respect to any resignation by the Servicer, the Servicer will use its reasonable efforts to find a successor servicer that meets the requirements of this Agreement.

In the ordinary course of business, the Servicer at any time may delegate any of its duties hereunder to any Person, including any of its Affiliates, who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with standards comparable to those set forth in Section 3.01. Such delegation shall not relieve the Servicer of its liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such duties and shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of this Section 6.04. Except as expressly provided herein and in Section 3.18 and Section 3.28, the Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person. The foregoing prohibition on assignment shall not prohibit the Servicer from designating a Sub-Servicer as payee of any indemnification amount payable to the Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that as provided in Section 3.06 hereof, no Sub-Servicer shall be a third-party beneficiary hereunder and the parties hereto shall not be required to recognize any Sub-Servicer as an indemnitee under this Agreement. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Servicer are transferred to a successor servicer, the entire amount of the Servicing Fee and other compensation payable to the Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor servicer.

SECTION 6.05.

Rights of the Depositor, the Seller, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee in Respect of the Servicer.

The Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that each Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor, the Seller, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Servicer (and any such Sub-Servicer) in respect of the Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Servicer (and those of any such Sub-Servicer) responsible for such obligations. Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor, the Seller, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee its (and any such Sub-Servicer’s) most recent financial statements and such other information relating to the Servicer’s capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement that it possesses. To the extent such information is not otherwise available to the public or is deemed confidential by the Servicer, the Depositor, the Seller, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall not disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the preceding two sentences without the Servicer’s (or any such Sub-Servicer’s) written consent, except as required pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it is necessary to do so (i) in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, rating agencies or reinsurers or (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor, the Trustee, the Seller, the Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund, and in either case, the Depositor, the Seller, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall each use its reasonable efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public information. Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. Nothing in this Section 6.05 shall require the Servicer to collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information that it does not generate in its usual course of business. The Servicer shall not be required to make copies of or ship documents to any party unless provisions have been made for the reimbursement of the costs thereof.

The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Servicer under this Agreement or exercise the rights of the Servicer under this Agreement; provided that the Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

(iv)

the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to it or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(v)

the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

(vi)

(vii)

If a Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator may and, at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer (and to the Depositor if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the Depositor), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer in its capacity as the servicer under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. If a Servicer Event of Default described in clause (vii) hereof shall occur, the Securities Administrator shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Depositor terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer in its capacity as the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof.

(b)

[Reserved].

(c)

On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Securities Administrator pursuant to and under this Section and, without limitation, the Securities Administrator is hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver on behalf of and at the expense of the Servicer, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Servicer agrees, at its sole cost and expense, promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Securities Administrator with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Servicer’s functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Securities Administrator in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer within one Business Day to the Securities Administrator for administration by it of all cash amounts which at the time shall be or should have been credited by the Servicer to the Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer, or any REO Account or Servicing Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property. For purposes of this Section 7.01, the Securities Administrator shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Securities Administrator assigned to and working in the Securities Administrator’s Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof.

The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the defaulting servicer (or by the Trust Fund if such servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all reasonable out-of-pocket or third party costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor servicer (or if the predecessor servicer is the Securities Administrator, from the Servicer immediately preceding the Securities Administrator), including without limitation, any reasonable out-of-pocket or third party costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Securities Administrator to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Securities Administrator to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively, upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.

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

SECTION 7.02.

Securities Administrator to Act; Appointment of Successor.

On and after the date on which the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, subject to the terms of this Section 7.02, the Securities Administrator shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as the servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Servicer (except for any representations or warranties of the Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in Section 2.03(b) and its obligation to deposit amounts in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.12) by the terms and provisions hereof including, without limitation, the Servicer’s obligations to make P&I Advances pursuant to Section 4.03, which the Securities Administrator shall make beginning with the Distribution Date for which the Servicer has failed to make such P&I Advance; provided, however, that if the Securities Administrator is prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to make advances regarding Delinquent Mortgage Loans, then the Securities Administrator shall not be obligated to make P&I Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Servicer’s failure to provide information required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the Securities Administrator as successor to the Servicer hereunder; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days from the date on which the Servicer receives such notice of termination) before the servicing transfer is fully effected, during which time the terminated Servicer shall continue all servicing (other than making any required P&I Advance, which the Securities Administrator shall be required to do, subject to the limitations of this sentence) of the Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding the above, subject to the other provisions of this Section 7.02, the Securities Administrator shall, if it is unable to so act or if it is prohibited by law from making advances regarding Delinquent Mortgage Loans, or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights so request in writing to the Securities Administrator, promptly appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor servicer meeting the requirements described below.

As compensation therefor, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder (other than amounts which were due or would become due to the Servicer prior to its termination or resignation). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Securities Administrator be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor servicer to act as successor servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein.

Any successor servicer appointed under this Agreement must (i) be an established mortgage loan servicing institution that is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved seller/servicer, (ii) be approved by each Rating Agency by a written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the appointment of such successor servicer would not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current ratings of any outstanding Class of Certificates, (iii) have a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and (iv) assume all the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer (other than liabilities of the Servicer hereunder incurred prior to termination of the Servicer under Section 7.01 herein) under this Agreement as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. No appointment of a successor to the Servicer under this Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by the successor of all of the Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities (other than liabilities of the Servicer hereunder incurred prior to termination of the Servicer under Section 7.01 herein) hereunder.

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

Upon removal of the Servicer, the Securities Administrator, with the cooperation of the Depositor, (x) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit bids for a successor servicer as described below and (y) pending the appointment of a successor servicer as a result of soliciting such bids, shall serve as Servicer of the Mortgage Loans serviced by such predecessor servicer. The Securities Administrator may solicit bids from housing and home finance institutions, banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting the qualifications set forth above (including the Securities Administrator or any Affiliate thereof). Such successor servicer shall be entitled to the servicing compensation agreed upon between the Securities Administrator, the successor servicer and the Depositor; provided, however, that no such fee shall exceed the Servicing Fee. The Securities Administrator upon receipt of the purchase price shall pay such purchase price to the Servicer being so removed, after deducting from any sum received by the Securities Administrator from the successor to the Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and assignment all costs and expenses of any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities reasonably incurred hereunder. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be paid by the Securities Administrator to the defaulting servicer at the time of such sale.

SECTION 7.03.

Notification to Certificateholders.

(a)

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

(b)

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

SECTION 7.04.

Waiver of Servicer Events of Default.

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

Duties of Trustee.

The Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement as duties of the Trustee. During the continuance of a Servicer Event of Default, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.

The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to it, which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to conform on its face to the requirements of this Agreement, the Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to its satisfaction, the Trustee will provide notice to the Certificateholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall have no obligation to reconcile, recompute or recalculate any remittances or reports of the Servicer, and the Trustee may fully rely upon and shall have no liability with respect to information provided to it by the Servicer or the Securities Administrator.

The Trustee shall promptly remit to the Servicer any complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document (collectively, the “Notices”) delivered to the Trustee as a consequence of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan hereunder and relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans; provided than any such notice (i) is delivered to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, and (ii) contains information sufficient to permit the Trustee to make a determination that the real property to which such document relates is a Mortgaged Property. The Trustee shall have no duty hereunder with respect to any Notice it may receive or which may be alleged to have been delivered to or served upon it unless such Notice is delivered to a Responsible Officer of or served upon it at its Corporate Trust Office and such Notice contains the information required pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.

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

(i)

The duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement; the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement; no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee that conform to the requirements of this Agreement;

(ii)

The Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining or investigating the facts related thereto;

(iii)

The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with this Agreement or with the consent or at the direction of Holders of Certificates as provided herein relating to the time, method and place of conducting any remedy pursuant to this Agreement, or exercising or omitting to exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement; and

(iv)

The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial or other liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it 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 the Servicer, the Custodian or the Securities Administrator under this Agreement.

SECTION 8.02.

Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.

(a)

Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

(iii)

The Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;

(vi)

The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, nominees, attorneys or a custodian, and shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, nominee, attorney or custodian appointed by the Trustee in good faith; and

The Trustee shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Custodian, Securities Administrator or Servicer nor shall the Trustee be obligated to supervise or monitor the performance of the Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Custodian hereunder or otherwise;

(ix)

The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder;

(x)

The right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act; and

(xi)

The Depositor and the Seller hereby approve of the appointment of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”) to act as custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement and each further agree that the Trustee appointed Wells Fargo to act as custodian with due care.

(b)

All rights of action under this 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 this Agreement.

(c)

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee be liable to any Person for any act or omission of the Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Custodian.

SECTION 8.03.

Trustee not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.

The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken as the statements of the Seller, and neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar assumes any responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee does not make any representations or warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Custodial Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the Trustee’s signature on behalf of the Trust on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document or of MERS or the MERS System or the Trust Estate. 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 the Collection Account by the Servicer. 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 to the maintenance of any such recording, filing or depositing thereof, (b) to see to any insurance or (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.

SECTION 8.04.

Trustee May Own Certificates.

The Trustee and the Custodian, in their respective individual capacities, or in any capacity other than as Trustee or Custodian hereunder, may become the owner or pledgee of any Certificates with the same rights as they would have if they were not Trustee or Custodian, as applicable, and may otherwise deal with the parties hereto.

SECTION 8.05.

Fees and Expenses of Trustee.

The Trustee shall be paid its fees by the Securities Administrator from the Securities Administrator Fee pursuant to an agreement between the Trustee and the Securities Administrator. In addition, the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents will be entitled to recover from the Distribution Account, and shall be indemnified from the Trust Fund and shall be entitled to withdraw from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.11(b) prior to any distributions to the Certificateholders, for, Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances upon any Servicer Event of Default, any breach of this Agreement, the Custodial Agreement or any provision of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or any loss, liability, expense, claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) incurred or made by any of them in the performance of their duties or the administration of the trusts hereunder or under the Custodial Agreement (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its counsel) in an amount not to exceed $500,000 per year, except (x) any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or intentional misconduct or (y) any expense that does not constitute an “unanticipated expense” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). If funds in the Distribution Account are insufficient therefor, the Trustee shall recover such expenses from future collections on the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 4.01(a)(3)(xxxiv) or as otherwise agreed by the Certificateholders. Such compensation and reimbursement obligation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust. Such obligations shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the removal or resignation of the Trustee.

SECTION 8.06.

Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be an entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, and shall each have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, a minimum long-term debt rating in the third highest rating category by each Rating Agency, a minimum short-term debt rating in the second highest rating category by each Rating Agency, and shall each be subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such entity publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06, the combined capital and surplus of such entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The principal office of the Trustee (other than the initial Trustee) shall be in a state with respect to which an Opinion of Counsel has been delivered to such Trustee at the time such Trustee is appointed Trustee to the effect that the Trust will not be a taxable entity under the laws of such state. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07 hereof.

SECTION 8.07.

Resignation and Removal of Trustee.

The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and the Rating Agencies. Upon receiving such notice of resignation of the Trustee, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee that meets the requirements in Section 8.06, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to each of the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and having accepted appointment within 30 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.

If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee. If the Depositor removes the Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee that meets the requirements of Section 8.06, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the successor Trustee and one copy to the 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 the Depositor, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Servicer 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 8.07 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, as provided in Section 8.08 hereof.

SECTION 8.08.

Successor Trustee.

Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, 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 hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee. The Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for 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 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and the appointment of such successor Trustee shall not result in a downgrading of the Classes of Certificates rated by the Rating Agencies, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this Section 8.08, the successor Trustee shall mail notice of such appointment hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and to the Rating Agencies.

SECTION 8.09.

Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.

Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the business of the Trustee shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation or association shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06, 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 8.10.

Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note 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 separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, 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 to do so, or in the case a Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.

Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(i)

To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee in its capacity as successor servicer under this Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Servicer, shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular set or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the applicable Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

(ii)

No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee or co-trustee as agent of the Trustee;

(iii)

The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee; and

(iv)

The Depositor, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and indemnification to any such separate trustee or co-trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when and as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the 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 this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Depositor.

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

SECTION 8.11.

Duties of Securities Administrator.

The Securities Administrator undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement as duties of the Securities Administrator. Any permissive right of the Securities Administrator enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty. The Securities Administrator agrees to perform its obligations on behalf of the Trustee under the Yield Maintenance Agreement.

The Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to it, which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Servicer or the Depositor. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Securities Administrator shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to its satisfaction, the Securities Administrator will provide notice to the Certificateholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities Administrator shall have no obligation to reconcile, recompute or recalculate any remittances or reports of the Servicer, and the Securities Administrator may fully rely upon and shall have no liability with respect to information provided by the Servicer.

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator, as Paying Agent, shall make monthly distributions and the final distribution to the Certificateholders from funds in the Distribution Account as provided in Sections 4.01 herein.

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

(i)

The duties and obligations of the Securities Administrator shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement; the Securities Administrator shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement; no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Securities Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Securities Administrator, the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator that conform to the requirements of this Agreement;

(iv)

The Securities Administrator shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial or other liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it 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 Securities Administrator to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement, except during such time, if any, as the Securities Administrator shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Upon receiving such notice of resignation of the Securities Administrator, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Securities Administrator that meets the requirements in Section 8.16, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to each of the resigning Securities Administrator and one copy to the successor Securities Administrator. If no successor Securities Administrator shall have been so appointed and having accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Securities Administrator may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Securities Administrator.

If at any time the Securities Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.16 hereof or if at any time the Securities Administrator shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Securities Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Securities Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor may remove the Securities Administrator. If the Depositor removes the Securities Administrator under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Securities Administrator that meets the requirements of Section 8.16, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the successor Securities Administrator and one copy to the Servicer.

The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may at any time remove the Securities Administrator and appoint a successor Securities Administrator 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 the Depositor, one complete set to the Securities Administrator so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the Securities Administrator and the Servicer, by the Depositor.

Any resignation or removal of the Securities Administrator and appointment of a successor Securities Administrator pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.17 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Securities Administrator, as provided in Section 8.18 hereof.

SECTION 8.18.

Successor Securities Administrator.

Any successor Securities Administrator appointed as provided in Section 8.17 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and to its predecessor Securities Administrator an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Securities Administrator shall become effective, and such successor Securities Administrator without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Securities Administrator. The Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and the predecessor Securities Administrator shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Securities Administrator, all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor Securities Administrator shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.18 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Securities Administrator shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.16 hereof and the appointment of such successor Securities Administrator shall not result in a downgrading of the Classes of Certificates rated by the Rating Agencies, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Securities Administrator as provided in this Section 8.18, the successor Securities Administrator shall mail notice of such appointment hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and to the Rating Agencies.

SECTION 8.19.

Any corporation or association into which the Securities Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Securities Administrator shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the business of the Securities Administrator shall be the successor of the Securities Administrator hereunder, provided such corporation or association shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.16, 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.

Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Servicer; the Securities Administrator and the Trustee (other than the obligations of the Servicer to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 6.03 and of the Servicer to provide for and the Securities Administrator to make payments in respect of the Regular Interests issued hereby or the Classes of Certificates as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders and the deposit of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Securities Administrator and required hereunder to be so paid or deposited on the Distribution Date coinciding with or following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase by the Servicer (at the direction and on behalf of either, first, the majority holder of the Class C Certificates, and second, the NIMS Insurer) of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund; provided, however, that 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 and (iii) the Distribution Date in June 2038. The purchase by the Servicer of all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund shall be at a price (the “Termination Price”) equal to the sum of (1) 100% of the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan (other than in respect of REO Property) plus one month’s accrued interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate, (2) with respect to any REO Property, the lesser of (x) the appraised value of any REO Property as determined by the higher of two appraisals completed by two independent appraisers selected by the Depositor at the expense of the Depositor and (y) the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property, in each case plus one month’s accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate and (3) any unreimbursed P&I Advances, Servicing Advances, Servicing Fees and other amounts payable to the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee.

(b)

The Servicer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph no later than the Determination Date in the month immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the Certificates will be retired; provided, however, that the Servicer may elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (i) above only if the Aggregate Collateral Balance remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of such election is less than 10% of the Aggregate Collateral Balance as of the Cut-off Date.

(c)

Notice of the liquidation of the REMIC I Regular Interests shall be given promptly by the Securities Administrator by letter to Certificateholders mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property by the Servicer, not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust Fund will terminate and final payment in respect of the Regular Interests issued hereby and the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the Securities Administrator therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment, (iii) that no interest shall accrue in respect of any Regular Interests issued hereby or the Certificates from and after the Interest Accrual Period relating to the final Distribution Date and (iv) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such 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 the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund by the Servicer, the Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account not later than the last Business Day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates an amount in immediately available funds equal to the above-described Termination Price for the Mortgage Loans purchased by the Servicer. The Securities Administrator shall remit to the Servicer from such funds deposited in the Distribution Account (i) any amounts which the Servicer would be permitted to withdraw and retain from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11 and (ii) any other amounts otherwise payable by the Securities Administrator to the Servicer from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in each case prior to making any final distributions pursuant to Section 10.01(d) below. Upon delivery of the Termination Price, the Securities Administrator shall promptly release or cause to be released to the Servicer the related Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments necessary to effectuate such transfer.

(d)

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

Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder in respect of the Certificates, the Trust Fund shall terminate.

SECTION 9.02.

Additional Termination Requirements.

(ii)

At the time of the making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates all cash on hand in the Trust Fund (other than cash retained to meet claims), and the Trust Fund shall terminate at that time.

(b)

The Servicer (if the Trust Fund is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01(a)(i)) or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, at the applicable party’s expense, shall prepare or cause to be prepared the documentation required in connection with the adoption of a plan of liquidation of each REMIC executed hereunder pursuant to this Section 9.02.

ARTICLE X

REMIC PROVISIONS

SECTION 10.01.

REMIC Administration.

(a)

The Securities Administrator shall elect to treat each REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state law. Each such election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return or any appropriate state return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. For the purposes of the REMIC election in respect of REMIC I, the REMIC I Regular Interests shall be designated as the Regular Interests in REMIC I and the R-I interest shall be designated as the Residual Interest in REMIC I. The Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates) shall be designated as the Regular Interests in REMIC II and the R-II interest shall be designated as the Residual Interest in REMIC II. The Securities Administrator shall not permit the creation of any “interests” in any REMIC created hereunder (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) other than the REMIC I Regular Interests and the interests represented by the Certificates.

(b)

The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC created hereunder within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

(c)

The Securities Administrator shall pay out of funds on deposit in the Distribution Account, any and all expenses relating to any tax audit of the Trust Fund (including, but not limited to, any professional fees or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to any REMIC created hereunder that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities) unless such expenses, professional fees or any administrative or judicial proceedings are incurred by reason of the Securities Administrator’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence. The Securities Administrator, as agent for the tax matters person for each REMIC formed hereby, shall (i) act on behalf of the Trust Fund in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving any REMIC created hereunder and (ii) represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto and will be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust Fund for any expenses incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection therewith unless such administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority is incurred by reason of the Securities Administrator’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence. The holder of the largest Percentage Interest of each Class of Residual Certificates shall be designated, in the manner provided under Treasury regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulations section 301.6231(a)(7)-1, as the tax matters person of the related REMIC created hereunder. By their acceptance thereof, the holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Residual Certificates hereby agrees to irrevocably appoint the Securities Administrator or an Affiliate as its agent to perform all of the duties of the tax matters person for the Trust Fund.

(d)

The Trustee, upon written direction of the Securities Administrator, shall sign and the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file in a timely manner all of the Tax Returns in respect of each REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Securities Administrator without any right of reimbursement for such expenses. The Servicer and the Depositor shall provide on a timely basis to the Securities Administrator or its designee such information with respect to the assets of the Trust Fund as is in its possession and reasonably required by the Trustee to enable it to perform its obligations under this Article.

(e)

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

(f)

The Securities Administrator shall take such action and shall cause each REMIC created hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to create or maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions (and the Servicer shall assist the Securities Administrator, to the extent reasonably requested by the Securities Administrator to do specific actions in order to assist in the maintenance of such status). Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall take any action, cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless either the Trustee or the Securities Administrator has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense of the Securities Administrator or the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to any REMIC created hereunder, endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor shall the Servicer take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Securities Administrator has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action; provided that the Servicer may conclusively rely on such Opinion of Counsel and shall incur no liability for its action or failure to act in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC created hereunder or the respective assets of each, or causing any REMIC created hereunder to take any action, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer will consult with the Securities Administrator or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC created hereunder, and the Servicer shall not take any such action or cause any REMIC created hereunder to take such action as to which the Securities Administrator has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur; provided that the Servicer may conclusively rely on such writing and shall incur no liability for its action or failure to act in accordance with such writing. The Securities Administrator may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Securities Administrator. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Securities Administrator will ensure that substantially all of the assets of each REMIC created hereunder will consist of “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

(g)

In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to any such REMIC after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Securities Administrator of any of its obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Servicer pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Article X, or otherwise (iii) against amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.

(h)

The Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

(i)

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

(j)

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

(k)

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

(l)

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

SECTION 10.02.

Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

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

SECTION 10.03.

Servicer and Securities Administrator Indemnification.

(a)

The Securities Administrator agrees to indemnify, severally and not jointly, the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Servicer, as a result of a breach of its respective covenants set forth in this Article X.

(b)

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

ARTICLE XI

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, and if necessary, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or defect, (ii) to correct, modify or supplement any provisions herein (including to give effect to the expectations of Certificateholders), (iii) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or desirable to maintain the qualification of the Trust Fund as a REMIC at all times that any Certificate is outstanding or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund pursuant to the Code that would be a claim against the Trust Fund, provided that the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, the Securities Administrator and the Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (A) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (B) such action will not adversely affect the status of the Trust Fund as a REMIC or adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder, or (iv) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement; provided that such action shall not, as evidenced by either (i) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Securities Administrator, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or (ii) delivery to the Securities Administrator of a letter from each Rating Agency confirming the then-current ratings of the Offered Certificates. No amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto, and no Opinion of Counsel shall be required to address the effect of any such amendment on any such consenting Certificateholder.

This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner, other than as described in (i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing at least 66% of the Voting Rights allocated to such Class, or (iii) modify the consents required by the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 11.01, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such Certificates.

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

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

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.

In executing or accepting the additional trusts created by any amendment to this Agreement permitted by this section or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Agreement, the Trustee shall receive, and shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon an Opinion of Counsel, provided by and at the expense of the party requesting such amendment, stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent thereto have been complied with.

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

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

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

SECTION 11.03.

Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.

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

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

No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless (i) such Holder previously shall have given to the Securities Administrator a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and (ii) the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have made written request upon the Securities Administrator to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Securities Administrator hereunder 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 whatsoever by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder and the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

SECTION 11.04.

SECTION 11.10.

Grant of Security Interest.

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

SECTION 11.11.

Protection of Assets.

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

(1)

borrow money or issue debt;

(2)

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

(3)

engage in any business or activities.

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

SECTION 11.12.

Non-Solicitation

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

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

Class A-[__]

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as J.P. Morgan Mortgage Acquisition Corp. 2005-OPT1, Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2005-OPT1, of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created by the Agreement.

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

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

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

The Record Date applicable to each Distribution Date is (1) with respect to any Class of Physical Certificates, the last day of the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and (2) with respect to any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date; provided, however, that following the date on which Definitive Certificates for such Certificates are available pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Record Date shall be the last day of the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.

Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have so notified the Certificate Registrar in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy the conditions to receive such form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or, if not, by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

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

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

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

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

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

On any Distribution Date following the Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to 10% of the Pool Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, the Servicer will have the option to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon the later of the maturity or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property in respect thereof and the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed pursuant to the Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of (i) 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Agreement of a certain person named in the Agreement or (ii) the Distribution Date in July 2035.

Any term used herein that is defined in the Agreement shall have the meaning assigned in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

Neither this Certificate nor the Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality.

[M-10] [Pursuant to Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement, a transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall only be made if the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall have received either (x) from the transferee of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar either (i) a representation letter to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a person acquiring such Certificate for, on behalf of or with the assets of any such plan or arrangement (“Benefit Plan Investor”) or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Certificate will not result in prohibited transactions under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee, the Servicer or the Certificate Registrar to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement or (y) a representation letter that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificate are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60.

ANNEX 1 TO EXHIBIT F-1

QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER STATUS UNDER SEC RULE 144A

[For Transferees Other Than Registered Investment Companies]

The undersigned hereby certifies as follows to [name of Transferor] (the “Transferor”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as Securities Administrator, and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, with respect to the Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates (the “Certificates”) described in the Transferee Certificate to which this certification relates and to which this certification is an Annex:

As indicated below, the undersigned is the President, Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President or other executive officer of the entity purchasing the Certificates (the “Transferee”).

In connection with purchases by the Transferee, the Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Rule 144A”) because (i) the Transferee owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis $______________________ in securities (except for the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A) and (ii) the Transferee satisfies the criteria in the category marked below.

___

Corporation, etc. The Transferee is a corporation (other than a bank, savings and loan association or similar institution), Massachusetts or similar business trust, partnership, or any organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

___

Bank. The Transferee (a) is a national bank or banking institution organized under the laws of any State, territory or the District of Columbia, the business of which is substantially confined to banking and is supervised by the State or territorial banking commission or similar official or is a foreign bank or equivalent institution, and (b) has an audited net worth of at least $25,000,000 as demonstrated in its latest annual financial statements, a copy of which is attached hereto.

___

Savings and Loan. The Transferee (a) is a savings and loan association, building and loan association, cooperative bank, homestead association or similar institution, which is supervised and examined by a State or Federal authority having supervision over any such institutions or is a foreign savings and loan association or equivalent institution and (b) has an audited net worth of at least $25,000,000 as demonstrated in its latest annual financial statements, a copy of which is attached hereto.

___

Broker-dealer. The Transferee is a dealer registered pursuant to Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

___

Insurance Company. The Transferee is an insurance company whose primary and predominant business activity is the writing of insurance or the reinsuring of risks underwritten by insurance companies and which is subject to supervision by the insurance commissioner or a similar official or agency of a State, territory or the District of Columbia.

___

State or Local Plan. The Transferee is a plan established and maintained by a State, its political subdivisions, or any agency or instrumentality of the State or its political subdivisions, for the benefit of its employees.

___

ERISA Plan. The Transferee is an employee benefit plan within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

___

Investment Advisor. The Transferee is an investment advisor registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

The term “securities” as used herein does not include (i) securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee, (ii) securities that are part of an unsold allotment to or subscription by the Transferee, if the Transferee is a dealer, (iii) securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. or any instrumentality thereof, (iv) bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (v) loan participations, (vi) repurchase agreements, (vii) securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement and (viii) currency, interest rate and commodity swaps.

For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, the Transferee used the cost of such securities to the Transferee and did not include any of the securities referred to in the preceding paragraph. Further, in determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if such subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee’s direction. However, such securities were not included if the Transferee is a majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Transferee is not itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Transferee acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the Transferor and other parties related to the Certificates are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more sales to the Transferee may be in reliance on Rule 144A.

___

Will the Transferee be purchasing the Certificates

Yes

only for the Transferee’s own account?

If the answer to the foregoing question is “no”, the Transferee agrees that, in connection with any purchase of securities sold to the Transferee for the account of a third party (including any separate account) in reliance on Rule 144A, the Transferee will only purchase for the account of a third party that at the time is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A. In addition, the Transferee agrees that the Transferee will not purchase securities for a third party unless the Transferee has obtained a current representation letter from such third party or taken other appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to conclude that such third party independently meets the definition of “qualified institutional buyer” set forth in Rule 144A.

The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until such notice is given, the Transferee’s purchase of the Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and loan as provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such parties updated annual financial statements promptly after they become available.

ANNEX 2 TO EXHIBIT F-1

QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER STATUS UNDER SEC RULE 144A

[For Transferees That Are Registered Investment Companies]

The undersigned hereby certifies as follows to [name of Transferor] (the “Transferor”) JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as Securities Administrator, and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, with respect to the Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates (the “Certificates”) described in the Transferee Certificate to which this certification relates and to which this certification is an Annex:

As indicated below, the undersigned is the President, Chief Financial Officer or Senior Vice President of the entity purchasing the Certificates (the “Transferee”) or, if the Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Rule 144A”) because the Transferee is part of a Family of Investment Companies (as defined below), is such an officer of the investment adviser (the “Adviser”).

In connection with purchases by the Transferee, the Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A because (i) the Transferee is an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and (ii) as marked below, the Transferee alone, or the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies, owned at least $100,000,000 in securities (other than the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year. For purposes of determining the amount of securities owned by the Transferee or the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies, the cost of such securities was used.

____

The Transferee owned $___________________ in securities (other than the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A).

____

The Transferee is part of a Family of Investment Companies which owned in the aggregate $______________ in securities (other than the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A).

The term “Family of Investment Companies” as used herein means two or more registered investment companies (or series thereof) that have the same investment adviser or investment advisers that are affiliated (by virtue of being majority owned subsidiaries of the same parent or because one investment adviser is a majority owned subsidiary of the other).

The term “securities” as used herein does not include (i) securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee or are part of the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies, (ii) securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. or any instrumentality thereof, (iii) bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (iv) loan participations, (v) repurchase agreements, (vi) securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement and (vii) currency, interest rate and commodity swaps.

The Transferee is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the parties to which this certification is being made are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more sales to the Transferee will be in reliance on Rule 144A. In addition, the Transferee will only purchase for the Transferee’s own account.

The undersigned will notify the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until such notice, the Transferee’s purchase of the Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification by the undersigned as of the date of such purchase.

FORM OF TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT AND AGREEMENT

STATE OF NEW YORK

)

: ss.:

COUNTY OF NEW YORK

)

____________________________________, being duly sworn, deposes, represents and warrants as follows:

I am a ______________________ of ____________________________ (the “Owner”) a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of ______________, the record owner of J.P. Morgan Acceptance Corporation I, Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2005-OPT1, Class R (the “Class R Certificates”), on behalf of whom I make this affidavit and agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to which the Class R Certificates were issued.

The Owner (i) is and will be a “Permitted Transferee” as of ____________________, 20___ and (ii) is acquiring the Class R Certificates for its own account or for the account of another Owner from which it has received an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit. A “Permitted Transferee” is any person other than a “disqualified organization” or a possession of the United States. For this purpose, a “disqualified organization” means the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality all of the activities of which are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose board of directors is not selected by any such governmental entity) or any foreign government, international organization or any agency or instrumentality of such foreign government or organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative, or any organization (other than certain farmers’ cooperatives) that is generally exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on unrelated business taxable income.

The Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on transfers of the Class R Certificates to disqualified organizations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that applies to all transfers of the Class R Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a non-Permitted Transferee, on the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such person an affidavit that the transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that each of the Class R Certificates may be a “noneconomic residual interest” within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under 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 is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4), the Transferee represents and warrants that the transfer does not involve the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base of the Transferee and one of the following applies:

(i)

the consideration paid to the Transferee for accepting the Class R Certificates is greater than the present value of the anticipated net federal income taxes and tax benefits (“Tax Liability Present Value”) associated with owning such Certificates, with such present value computed using a discount rate equal to the “applicable federal rate” prescribed by Section 1274 of the Internal Revenue Code as of the date hereof (with all applicable computations done in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(8); or

(ii)

the Transferee (A) is an “eligible corporation” as defined in Treasury Regulation 1.860E-1(c)(6), as to which the income of Class R Certificates will only be subject to taxation in the United States, (B) has, and has had in each of its two preceding fiscal years, gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related to the transferee within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860E-1(c)(6)) in excess of $100 million and net assets of $10 million, and (C) hereby agrees only to transfer the Certificate to another corporation meeting the criteria set forth in this letter.

The Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding the Class R Certificates if, at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity, a non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. (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.)

The Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the transfer of any Class R Certificate unless the transferee, or the transferee’s agent, delivers to the Trustee, among other things, an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The Owner expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that any of the representations contained in such affidavit and agreement are false.

The Owner consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificates will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is a Permitted Transferee.

The Owner’s taxpayer identification number is ___________________.

The Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face of the Class R Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificates were issued (in particular, clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 5.02(d) which authorize the Trustee to deliver payments to a person other than the Owner and negotiate a mandatory sale by the Trustee in the event that the Owner holds such Certificate in violation of Section 5.02(d)); and that the Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such restrictions and provisions.

The Owner is not acquiring and will not transfer the Class R Certificates in order to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

10.

The Owner anticipates that it will, so long as it holds the Class R Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such Class R Certificates, and hereby represents to and for the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class R Certificates that the Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class R Certificates as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class R Certificates.

11.

The Owner has no present knowledge that it may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as it holds the Class R Certificates.

12.

The Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the Certificates remain outstanding.

13.

The Owner is not acquiring the Class R Certificates with the intent to transfer the Class R Certificates to any person or entity that will not have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such Class R Certificates, or that may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding, for so long as the Class R Certificates remain outstanding.

14.

The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of the Class R Certificates, obtain from its transferee the representations required by Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificate were issued and will not consummate any such transfer if it knows, or knows facts that should lead it to believe, that any such representations are false.

15.

The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of the Class R Certificates, deliver to the Trustee an affidavit, which represents and warrants that it is not transferring the Class R Certificates to impede the assessment or collection of any tax and that it has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee: (i) has insufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by such transferee as holder of the Class R Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as the Class R Certificates remains outstanding; and (iii) is not a “Permitted Transferee”.

16.

The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an estate or trust whose income from sources without the United States may be included in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States.

17.

The Owner of the Class R Certificate, hereby agrees that in the event that the Trust Fund created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01 thereof, the undersigned shall assign and transfer to the Holders of the Class C Certificates any amounts in excess of par received in connection with such termination. Accordingly, in the event of such termination, the Trustee is hereby authorized to withhold any such amounts in excess of par and to pay such amounts directly to the Holders of the Class C Certificates. This agreement shall bind and be enforceable against any successor, transferee or assigned of the undersigned in the Class R Certificate. In connection with any transfer of the Class R Certificate, the Owner shall obtain an agreement substantially similar to this clause from any subsequent owner.

18.

The Owner

(a)

is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (a “Plan”), or any other person purchasing any Certificate with the assets of any such plan or arrangement;

(b)

if the Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, is an insurance company, the source of funds to be used by it to purchase the Certificates is an “insurance company general account” (within the meaning of Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60), and the purchase is being made in reliance upon the availability of the exemptive relief afforded under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60; or

(c)

provides an Opinion of Counsel which establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator that the purchase and holding of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate by, on behalf of or with the assets of such plan or arrangement will not result in non-exempt prohibited transactions under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and will not subject the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Owner has caused this instrument to be executed on its behalf, pursuant to the authority of its Board of Directors, by its [Vice] President, attested by its [Assistant] Secretary, this ____ day of __________, 20__.

The Owner is not transferring the Class R Certificates (the “Residual Certificates”) to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

The Owner has no actual knowledge that the Person that is the proposed transferee (the “Purchaser”) of the Residual Certificates: (i) has insufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by such proposed transferee as holder of the Residual Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as the Residual Certificates remain outstanding and (iii) is not a Permitted Transferee.

The Owner understands that the Purchaser has delivered to the Trustee a transfer affidavit and agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit F-2. The Owner does not know or believe that any representation contained therein is false.

At the time of transfer, the Owner has conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Purchaser as contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Owner has determined that the Purchaser has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Purchaser will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Owner understands that the transfer of a Residual Certificate may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Owner may continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Owner has conducted such an investigation.
