CONVEYANCE OF TRUST FUND

Section 2.01Conveyance of Trust Fund.

Pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, each Seller sold, transferred, assigned, set over and otherwise conveyed to the Depositor, without recourse, all the right, title and interest of such Seller in and to the assets sold by it in the Trust Fund.

The Sponsor has entered into this Agreement in consideration for the purchase of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and has agreed to take the actions specified herein.

The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Trustee for the use and benefit of the Certificateholders, without recourse, all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Trust Fund.

In connection with such sale, the Depositor has delivered to, and deposited with, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, the following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so assigned: (i) the original Mortgage Note, including any riders thereto, endorsed without recourse (A) in blank or to the order of “U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for Certificateholders of Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-CL1,” or (B) in the case of a loan registered on the MERS system, in blank, and in each case showing an unbroken chain of endorsements from the original payee thereof to the Person endorsing it to the Trustee, (ii) the original Mortgage and, if the related Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, noting the presence of the MIN and language indicating that such Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, which shall have been recorded (or if the original is not available, a copy), with evidence of such recording indicated thereon (or if clause (x) in the proviso below applies, shall be in recordable form), (iii) unless the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, the assignment (either an original or a copy, which may be in the form of a blanket assignment if permitted in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located) to the Trustee of the Mortgage with respect to each Mortgage Loan in the name of “U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for Certificateholders of Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., Asset Backed-Certificates, Series 2006-CL1,” which shall have been recorded (or if clause (x) in the proviso below applies, shall be in recordable form), (iv) an original or a copy of all intervening assignments of the Mortgage, if any, with evidence of recording thereon, (v) the original policy of title insurance or mortgagee’s certificate of title insurance or commitment or binder for title insurance, if available, or a copy thereof, or, in the event that such original title insurance policy is unavailable, a photocopy thereof, or in lieu thereof, a current lien search on the related Mortgaged Property and (vi) originals or copies of all available assumption, modification or substitution agreements, if any; provided, however, that in lieu of the foregoing, the related Seller may deliver the following documents, under the circumstances set forth below: (x) if any Mortgage, assignment thereof to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof have been delivered or are being delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned in time to permit their delivery as specified above, the Depositor may deliver a true copy thereof with a certification by such Seller or the title company issuing the commitment for title insurance, on the face of such copy, substantially as follows: “Certified to be a true and correct copy of the original, which has been transmitted for recording”; and (y) in lieu of the Mortgage Notes relating to the Mortgage Loans identified in the list set forth in Exhibit I, the Depositor may deliver a lost note affidavit and indemnity and a copy of the original note, if available; and provided, further, however, that in the case of Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents, may deliver to the Trustee and the Custodian a certification of a Servicing Officer to such effect and in such case shall deposit all amounts paid in respect of such Mortgage Loans in the Distribution Account on the Closing Date. In the case of the documents referred to in clause (x) above, the Depositor shall deliver such documents to the Trustee or the Custodian promptly after they are received.

The Sponsor shall cause, at its expense, the Mortgage and intervening assignments, if any, and to the extent required in accordance with the foregoing, the assignment of the Mortgage to the Trustee to be submitted for recording promptly after the Closing Date; provided that, the Sponsor need not cause to be recorded (a) any assignment in any jurisdiction under the laws of which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee delivered by the Sponsor to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan or (b) if MERS is identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage as the mortgagee of record solely as nominee for the related Seller and its successors and assigns. In the event that any Seller, the Depositor , the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator gives written notice to the Trustee that a court has recharacterized the sale of the Mortgage Loans as a financing, the Sponsor shall submit or cause to be submitted for recording as specified above each such previously unrecorded assignment to be submitted for recording as specified above at the expense of the Trust. In the event a Mortgage File is released to the related Servicer as a result of such Person having completed a Request for Release, the Custodian shall, if not so completed, complete the assignment of the related Mortgage in the manner specified in clause (iii) above.

In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS® System, the Sponsor (on its own behalf as a Seller) further agrees that it will cause, at the Sponsor’s own expense, within 30 days after the Closing Date, the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Sponsor to the Depositor and by the Depositor to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Sponsor further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Servicers or the Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

Section 2.02Acceptance of the Mortgage Loans.

(a)Based on the Initial Certification received by it from the Custodian, the Trustee acknowledges receipt of, subject to the further review and exceptions reported by the Custodian pursuant to the procedures described below, the documents (or certified copies thereof) delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf pursuant to Section 2.01 and declares that it holds and will continue to hold directly or through a custodian those documents and any amendments, replacements or supplements thereto and all other assets of the Trust Fund delivered to it in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates. On the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf will deliver an Initial Certification, in the form of Exhibit One to the Custodial Agreement, confirming whether or not it has received the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan, but without review of such Mortgage File, except to the extent necessary to confirm whether such Mortgage File contains the original Mortgage Note or a lost note affidavit and indemnity in lieu thereof. No later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, review each Mortgage File delivered to it and execute and deliver to the Sponsor and the Master Servicer and, if reviewed by the Custodian or the Trustee, an Interim Certifications, substantially in the form of Exhibit Two to the Custodial Agreement. In conducting such review, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf will ascertain whether all required documents have been executed and received and whether those documents relate, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B to this Agreement, as supplemented (provided, however, that with respect to those documents described in subclauses (iv) and (vi) of Section 2.01, such obligations shall extend only to documents actually delivered pursuant to such subclauses). In performing any such review, the Trustee and the Custodian may conclusively rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. If the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf finds any document constituting part of the Mortgage File not to have been executed or received, or to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B or to appear to be defective on its face, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall include such information in the exception report attached to the Interim Certification. The Sponsor shall correct or cure any such defect or, if prior to the end of the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Sponsor may substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Replacement Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03 or shall deliver to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator to the effect that such defect does not materially or adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan within 60 days from the date of notice from the Trustee of the defect and if the Sponsor fails to correct or cure the defect or deliver such opinion within such period, the Sponsor will, subject to Section 2.03, within 90 days from the notification of the Trustee purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the Sponsor to deliver the Mortgage, assignment thereof to the Trustee, or intervening assignments thereof with evidence of recording thereon because such documents have been submitted for recording and have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Sponsor shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if the Sponsor delivers such documents promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date.

(b)No later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf will review, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Mortgage Files and will execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to the Sponsor and the Master Servicer and, if reviewed by the Custodian or the Trustee, a Final Certification, substantially in the form of Exhibit Three to the Custodial Agreement. In conducting such review, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf will ascertain whether each document required to be recorded has been returned from the recording office with evidence of recording thereon and the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf has received either an original or a copy thereof, as required in Section 2.01 (provided, however, that with respect to those documents described in subclauses (iv) and (vi) of Section 2.01, such obligations shall extend only to documents actually delivered pursuant to such subclauses). If the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf finds any document with respect to a Mortgage Loan has not been received, or to be unrelated, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B or to appear defective on its face, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall note such defect in the exception report attached to the Final Certification and shall promptly notify the Sponsor. The Sponsor shall correct or cure any such defect or, if prior to the end of the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Sponsor may substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Replacement Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03 or shall deliver to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator to the effect that such defect does not materially or adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan within 60 days from the date of notice from the Trustee of the defect and if the Sponsor is unable within such period to correct or cure such defect, or to substitute the related Mortgage Loan with a Replacement Mortgage Loan or to deliver such opinion, the Sponsor shall, subject to Section 2.03, within 90 days from the notification of the Trustee, purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the Sponsor to deliver the Mortgage, assignment thereof to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof with evidence of recording thereon, because such documents have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Sponsor shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan, if the Sponsor delivers such documents promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to the custody or review of Mortgage Files held by the Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. The Trustee shall have no liability for the failure of the Custodian to perform its obligations under the Custodial Agreement.

(c)In the event that a Mortgage Loan is purchased by the Sponsor in accordance with subsections 2.02(a) or (b) above or Section 2.03, the Sponsor shall remit the applicable Purchase Price to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Distribution Account and shall provide written notice to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee detailing the components of the Purchase Price, signed by a Servicing Officer. Upon deposit of the Purchase Price in the Distribution Account and upon receipt of a Request for Release with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the Trustee or the Custodian will release to the Sponsor the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, representation or warranty furnished to it by the related Seller, as are necessary to vest in the title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan. Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the deposit into the Distribution Account was made. The Securities Administrator shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of such repurchase. The obligation of the Sponsor to cure, repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan as to which a defect in a constituent document exists shall be the sole remedies respecting such defect available to the Certificateholders or to the Trustee on their behalf.

(d)The Sponsor shall deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf, and Trustee agrees to accept the Mortgage Note and other documents constituting the Mortgage File with respect to any Replacement Mortgage Loan, which the Trustee or the Custodian will review as provided in subsections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b), provided, that the Closing Date referred to therein shall instead be the date of delivery of the Mortgage File with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan.

(i)It is a national banking association duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America and is duly authorized and qualified to transact any and all business contemplated by this Agreement to be conducted by the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator and, is in compliance with the doing business laws of any state, to the extent necessary to ensure its ability to perform any of its other obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof;

With respect to each Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date (or such other date as may be specified in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement), EMC hereby remakes and restates each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to the Depositor and the Trustee to the same extent as if fully set forth herein.

(c)Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties to this Agreement. The Sponsor hereby covenants, with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans, that within 90 days of the discovery of a breach of any representation or warranty set forth therein that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach is not so cured, (i) if such 90 day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Replacement Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth below; provided that any such substitution pursuant to (i) above or repurchase pursuant to (ii) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel if required by Section 2.05 hereof and any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release. The Sponsor shall, or cause the related Servicer to, furnish to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee the Officer’s Certificate required under Section 2.03(c) relating to such cure. If the Trustee has received (or has given, as the case may be) written notice of such a breach of a representation or warranty, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Sponsor, if within 90 days of its receipt (or giving, as the case may be) of such notice of breach, the Trustee does not receive an Officer’s Certificate as described in the preceding sentence certifying as to the cure of such breached representation or warranty. The Sponsor shall promptly reimburse the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach. To enable the Master Servicer to amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Master Servicer shall, unless it cures such breach in a timely fashion pursuant to this Section 2.03, promptly notify the Trustee whether it intends either to repurchase, or to substitute for, the Mortgage Loan affected by such breach. With respect to the representations and warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are made to the best of the Sponsor’s knowledge, if it is discovered by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Sponsor, the Trustee or the Custodian that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding the Sponsor’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, the Sponsor shall nevertheless be required to cure, substitute for or repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan in accordance with the foregoing.

With respect to any Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Sponsor (pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) shall deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf for the benefit of the Certificateholders such documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01. No substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such substitution must be done within two years of the Closing Date. Scheduled Payments due with respect to Replacement Mortgage Loans in the Due Period related to the Distribution Date on which such proceeds are to be distributed shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Sponsor. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the Scheduled Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for the related Due Period and thereafter the Sponsor shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Master Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the Sponsor, the Securities Administrator and the Custodian. Upon such substitution, the Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Sponsor shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 7 or Section 8 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit into the Distribution Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph and receipt by the Custodian of a Request for Release for such Mortgage Loan, the Custodian shall release to the Sponsor the Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan and held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at the Sponsor’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment as have been prepared by the Sponsor in each case without recourse, representation or warranty as shall be necessary to vest in the Sponsor or its respective designee, title to the Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.03.

For any month in which the Sponsor substitutes one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all the Replacement Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the Stated Principal Balance (after application of the principal portion of the Scheduled Payment due in the month of substitution) of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. An amount equal to the aggregate of such deficiencies, described in the preceding sentence for any Distribution Date (such amount, the “Substitution Adjustment Amount”) shall be deposited into the Distribution Account, by the Sponsor delivering such Replacement Mortgage Loan on the Determination Date for the Distribution Date relating to the Prepayment Period during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.

In the event that the Sponsor shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited into the Distribution Account maintained by the Master Servicer, on the Determination Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month during which the Sponsor became obligated to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and upon such deposit of the Purchase Price, the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel if required by Section 2.05 and the receipt of a Request for Release, the Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to the Sponsor and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at such Person’s direction the related instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Sponsor, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and transfer the Trustee’s interest to the Sponsor to any Mortgage Loan purchased pursuant to this Section 2.03. It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of the Sponsor to cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedies against the Sponsor respecting such breach available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee.

In connection with any repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.03, the Seller shall, or cause the related Servicer to, furnish to the Securities Administrator an officer’s certificate, signed by a duly authorized officer of the Seller or the related Servicer, as the case may be, to the effect that such repurchase has been made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that all conditions precedent to such repurchase have been satisfied, including the delivery to the Securities Administrator of the Purchase Price for deposit into the Distribution Account, together with copies of any Opinion of Counsel required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement and the related Request for Release. Solely for purposes of the Securities Administrator providing an Assessment of Compliance, upon receipt of such documentation, the Securities Administrator shall approve such repurchase and which approval shall be based solely on the Securities Administrator’s receipt of such documentation and deposits. It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of the Seller repurchase any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedies against the Seller respecting such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee.

(d)The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03 hereof shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Loans and Mortgage Files to the Trustee or the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

Section 2.05Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with Substitutions and Repurchases.

(a)Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or as to which default is not reasonably foreseeable, no repurchase or substitution pursuant to Sections 2.02 or 2.03 shall be made unless the Sponsor delivers to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, to the effect that such repurchase or substitution would not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on “prohibited transactions” of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III or REMIC IV or contributions after the Closing Date, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III or REMIC IV to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.

In connection therewith, the Sponsor at it’s option shall either (i) substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.03 with respect to substitutions are satisfied, a Replacement Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a breach of representation or warranty in accordance with Section 2.03. The Trustee shall reconvey to the Sponsor the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto (and the Custodian shall deliver the related Mortgage File) 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 in accordance with Section 2.03.

Section 2.06Countersignature and Delivery of Certificates.

(a)The Trustee acknowledges the sale, transfer and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, and the Securities Administrator has executed, countersigned and delivered, to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the entire ownership of the Trust Fund.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION OF THE TRUST FUND AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 3.01Master Servicer and Securities Administrator.

The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the Servicers to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and administration. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with each Servicer as necessary from time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by each Servicer and shall cause each Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by such Servicer under its applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor the Servicer’s servicing activities with respect to each Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicers’ and Master Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, the Master Servicer shall provide such information to the Securities Administrator as shall be necessary in order for it to prepare the statements specified in Section 5.06(a), and prepare any other information and statements required to be forwarded by the Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicers pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the related Mortgage Loan data provided by the related Servicer and shall have no liability for any errors in such Mortgage Loan data.

In addition to the foregoing, in connection with a modification of any Mortgage Loan by a Servicer, if the Master Servicer is unable to enforce the obligations of the Servicer with respect to such modification, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor of such Servicer’s failure to comply with the terms of the Servicing Agreement or this Agreement. If the Servicing Agreement requires the approval of the Master Servicer for a modification to a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall approve such modification if, based upon its receipt of written notification from the related Servicer outlining the terms of such modification and appropriate supporting documentation, the Master Servicer determines that the modification is permitted under the terms of the Servicing Agreement and that any conditions to such modification set forth in the Servicing Agreement have been satisfied. Furthermore, if the Servicing Agreement requires the oversight and monitoring of loss mitigation measures with respect to the related Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will monitor any loss mitigation procedure or recovery action related to a defaulted Mortgage Loan (to the extent it receives notice of such from the related Servicer) and confirm that such loss mitigation procedure or recovery action is initiated, conducted and concluded in accordance with any timeframes and any other requirements set forth in the Servicing Agreement, and the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor in any case in which the Master Servicer believes that the related Servicer is not complying with such timeframes and/or other requirements.

The Trustee shall furnish the Servicers and the Master Servicer with any powers of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit O hereto and upon written request from a Servicing Officer other documents in form as provided to it necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicers and the Master Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans and REO Property.

The Trustee or the Custodian shall provide access to the records and documentation in possession of the Trustee or the Custodian regarding the Mortgage Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof to the related Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the office of the Trustee or the Custodian; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law, neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall be required to provide access to such records and documentation if the provision thereof would violate the legal right to privacy of any Mortgagor. The Trustee and the Custodian shall allow representatives of the above entities to photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that covers the Trustee’s or the Custodian’s actual costs.

The Trustee shall execute upon the related Servicer’s written instruction (which includes the documents to be signed) and deliver to the related Servicer and the Master Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other appropriate documents necessary or desirable to (i) the foreclosure or trustee’s sale with respect to a Mortgaged Property; (ii) any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Security Instrument; (iii) obtain a deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor; or (iv) enforce any other rights or remedies provided by the Mortgage Note or Security Instrument or otherwise available at law or equity.

Section 3.02REMIC-Related Covenants.

For as long as each REMIC shall exist, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall act in accordance herewith to assure continuing treatment of such REMIC as a REMIC, and the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall comply with any directions of the Depositor, the related Servicer or the Master Servicer to assure such continuing treatment. In particular, the Trustee shall not (a) sell or permit the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any investment of deposits in an Account (except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement) unless such sale is as a result of a repurchase of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement or the Trustee has received a REMIC Opinion addressed to the Trustee prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund; and (b) other than with respect to a substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.02 of this Agreement, as applicable, accept any contribution to any REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt of a REMIC Opinion addressed to the Trustee.

Section 3.03Monitoring of Servicers.

(a)The Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to the Trustee and the Depositor the non-compliance by each Servicer with its duties under the related Servicing Agreement. In the review of each Servicer’s activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an officer’s certificate of the Servicer (or similar document signed by an officer of the Servicer) with regard to the Servicer’s compliance with the terms of its Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that a Servicer (other than Wells Fargo) should be terminated in accordance with its Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to such Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that Wells Fargo should be terminated in accordance with the Wells Fargo Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to the Wells Fargo Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee thereof in writing. Pursuant to its receipt of such written notification from the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall issue such notice of termination to Wells Fargo or take such other action as it deems appropriate.

(b)The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a Servicer, other than Wells Fargo, fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or to cause the Trustee to enter into a new Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer selected by the Master Servicer; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such successor Servicer. In the event that Wells Fargo fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the Wells Fargo Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee in writing of such failure. Pursuant to its receipt of such notification from the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall terminate the rights and obligations of Wells Fargo under the Wells Fargo Servicing Agreement and enter in to a new Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer selected by the Trustee; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such successor Servicer. In either event, such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of 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 Master Servicer (or in the case Wells Fargo is terminated as the Servicer, the Trustee) in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action. In the event that Wells Fargo is terminated as the Servicer, the Trustee shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, subject to its right to be reimbursed for such costs from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.03(c); provided that the Trustee shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Trustee shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action. Nothing herein shall impose any obligation on the part of the Trustee to assume or succeed to the duties or obligations of Wells Fargo or the Master Servicer unless the Trustee has not been able to find a successor servicer or a successor master servicer.

(c)In the event that Wells Fargo is terminated as Servicer, to the extent that the costs and expenses of the Trustee related to any termination of Wells Fargo, or the enforcement or prosecution of related claims, rights or remedies, or the appointment of a successor Servicer (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Wells Fargo as a result of an event of default by Wells Fargo and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by Wells Fargo after such termination, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Distribution Account. In all other cases, to the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer related to any termination of a Servicer (other than Wells Fargo), appointment of a successor Servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with respect to any Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an event of default by such Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Distribution Account.

(d)The Master Servicer shall require each Servicer to comply with the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in the related Servicing Agreement.

(e)The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance) primary mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

(f)The Master Servicer shall pay in accordance with Section 4.05(a)(xi), on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, fees or premiums in connection with any LPMI Policy with respect to any GMAC Mortgage Loan covered by a LPMI Policy, necessary to keep such LPMI Policy in full force and effect. Such amounts shall be payable, in each case, to the extent such related Mortgage Loan is identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as being covered by a LPMI Policy and to the extent in such amount as such fees or premiums are indentified to the Master Servicer by GMAC with respect to each such Mortgage Loan.

Section 3.04Fidelity Bond.

The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on such Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The errors and omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or trustees.

Section 3.05Power to Act; Procedures.

The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of Article X hereof, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Holders of the Certificates and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities under Section 3.03, shall not permit any Servicer to) knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, may cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or 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) unless the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Master Servicer) to the effect that the contemplated action would not cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC. The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing Officer, with any powers of attorney empowering the Master Servicer or any Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or any Servicer). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 9.11 hereof. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee.

Section 3.06Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, to the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of the Servicers to enforce such clauses in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.07Release of Mortgage Files.

(a)Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by any Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes for payment to Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date, the Servicer will, if required under the applicable Servicing Agreement (or if the applicable Servicer does not, the Master Servicer may), promptly furnish to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, two copies of a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto signed by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment that are required to be deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the applicable Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01 or by the applicable Servicer pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement have been or will be so deposited) and shall request that the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, deliver to the applicable Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the applicable Servicer and the Trustee and Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, each Servicer is authorized, to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Protected Account.

(b)From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, upon written instruction from such Servicer or the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Trustee by a Servicer or the Master Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, upon the request of a Servicer or the Master Servicer, and delivery to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, of two copies of a request for release signed by a Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit D (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer), release the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the Servicer or the Master Servicer. Such trust receipt shall obligate the Servicer or the Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, when the need therefor by the Servicer or the Master Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the Mortgage File shall be released by the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to the Servicer or the Master Servicer.

Section 3.08Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer to Be Held for Trustee.

(a)The Master Servicer shall transmit and each Servicer (to the extent required by the related Servicing Agreement) shall transmit to the Trustee or Custodian such documents and instruments coming into the possession of the Master Servicer or such Servicer from time to time as are required by the terms hereof, or in the case of the Servicers, the applicable Servicing Agreement, to be delivered to the Trustee or Custodian. Any funds received by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders subject to the right of the Master Servicer to retain or withdraw from the Distribution Account the Master Servicing Compensation and other amounts provided in this Agreement, and to the right of each Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee and other amounts as provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, and (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) shall enforce the obligation of each Servicer to, provide access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, its agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, to Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or other regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such information.

(b)All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer or such Servicer under this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.09Standard Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance Policies.

It is understood and agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in the applicable Servicing Agreement and that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained on property acquired in respect of a defaulted loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.

(b)The Master Servicer shall, to the extent required by the related Servicing Agreement, enforce the obligation of the applicable Servicer to deposit all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in the Protected Account.

(c)The Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer, upon the final disposition of any REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Advances and other unreimbursed advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees from Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with the final disposition of such REO Property; provided, that any such unreimbursed Advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees may be reimbursed or paid, as the case may be, prior to final disposition, out of any net rental income or other net amounts derived from such REO Property.

Such report at a minimum shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit P hereto which are indicated as applicable to the related Attesting Party.

On or before March 15^th of each calendar year beginning in 2007, each Attesting Party shall furnish to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Securities Administrator a report (an “Attestation Report”) by a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the Assessment of Compliance made by the related Attesting Party, as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB, which Attestation Report must be made in accordance with standards for attestation reports issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

The Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of each Servicer to deliver to the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report as and when provided in the related Servicing Agreement. Each of the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall cause, and the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation (as and when provided in the related Servicing Agreement) of each Servicer to cause, any subservicer and each subcontractor (to the extent such subcontractor is determined by the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB) that is engaged by such Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, to deliver to the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report as and when provided above.

An officer of the Master Servicer in charge of the master servicing function shall serve as the Certifying Person on behalf of the Trust. Such officer of the Certifying Person can be contacted as set forth in Section 11.05.

(iv)With respect to any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or any Form 8-K Disclosure Information (collectively, the “Additional Disclosure”) relating to the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator’s obligation to include such Additional Information in the applicable Exchange Act report is subject to receipt from the entity that is indicated in Exhibit Q as the responsible party for providing that information, if other than the Securities Administrator, as and when required as described in Section 3.18(a)(i) through (iv) above.

(B)In the event that the Securities Administrator is unable to timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K required to be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement or for any other reason, the Securities Administrator shall promptly notify the Depositor and the Master Servicer. In the case of Form 10-D and Form 10-K, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a 10-DA and 10-KA as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act.

The Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer and each of 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 obligations of the Depositor under Sections 3.16, 3.17 and 3.18 or the Depositor’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. In addition, the Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and each of their respective 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 (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Additional Disclosure provided by the Depositor that is required to be filed pursuant to this Section 3.18 (the “Depositor Information”), or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the Depositor Information that is required to be filed and not to any other information communicated in connection with the Certificates, without regard to whether the Depositor Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information.

(d)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.01, this Section 3.18 may be amended without the consent of the Certificateholders.

If the related Servicer was required to make an Advance pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement and fails to do so, the Master Servicer, as successor servicer, will deposit in the Distribution Account not later than the one Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date an amount equal to such Advance, net of the related Servicing Fee for such Mortgage Loan except to the extent the Master Servicer determines any such Advance to be nonrecoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or future payments on the Mortgage Loan for which such Advance was made. Subject to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall continue to make such Advances through the date that the related Servicer is required to do so under the related Servicing Agreement; provided however, that if the Master Servicer deems an Advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance, one Business Day before the Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall not be obligated to make such Advance and the Master Servicer shall present an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee (i) stating that the Master Servicer elects not to make an Advance in a stated amount and (ii) detailing the reason it deems the advance to be nonrecoverable. The Master Servicer may rely on any non-recoverability determination of any Servicer. If Wells Fargo, as a Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator was required to make an Advance but failed to do so, the Trustee upon receiving notice or becoming aware of such failure, and pursuant to the applicable terms of this Agreement, shall appoint a successor servicer who will make such Advance, or the Trustee as successor master servicer shall be required to remit the amount of such Advance to the Distribution Account, unless the Trustee shall have determined that such Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance.

Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Article IX hereof, in the event the Master Servicer fails to make such Advance, then the Trustee, as Successor Master Servicer, shall be obligated to make such Advance, subject to the provisions of this Section 5.01, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement (including its rights of reimbursement hereunder).

Section 5.02Compensating Interest.

(a)The Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement to remit any required Compensating Interest to the Distribution Account on the Remittance Date.

(b)The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution Account the amount of any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, to the extent of the Master Servicing Compensation for such Distribution Date, in the event the related Servicer is required to make such payment but fails to do so.

Section 5.03REMIC Distributions.

On each Distribution Date the Securities Administrator shall be deemed to have allocated distributions to the REMIC Regular Interests, each Regular Interest the ownership of which is represented by the Class A Certificates and the Class B-IO Interest in accordance with Section 5.07 hereof.

(3)Any Excess Cashflow shall be distributed in the following manner and order of priority:

(A)from any remaining Excess Cashflow, to the Class A Certificates, (a) first, any remaining Interest Carry Forward Amount for such Classes, pro rata, in accordance with the Interest Carry Forward Amount due with respect to each such Class, to the extent not fully paid pursuant to clause (1) (A) above and (b) second, any Unpaid Realized Loss Amount for the Class A-1 Certificates for such Distribution Date, in accordance with the Applied Realized Loss Amount allocated to such Class;

(C)from any remaining Excess Cashflow otherwise distributable to the Class B-IO Interest and the Class B-IO Certificates, to the Reserve Fund, (i) first, to pay to the Classes of Class A Certificates, any Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amount for such Classes for such Distribution Date, on a pro rata basis, based on the amount of the Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amount for each such Class to the extent such amount exceeds the amounts then on deposit in the Reserve Fund (exclusive of amounts received from the Corridor Contract Counterparty pursuant to the Class A-1 Interest Rate Corridor Contract), and (ii) second, to maintain a balance in the Reserve Fund equal to the Reserve Fund Deposit;

(D)from any remaining Excess Cashflow otherwise distributable to the Class B-IO Interest and the Class B-IO Certificates, to the Reserve Fund, (i) first, to pay to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5 and Class M-6 Certificates, sequentially in that order, any Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amount for each such Class for such Distribution Date, if any, to the extent such amount exceeds the amounts then on deposit in the Reserve Fund (exclusive of amounts received from the Corridor Contract Counterparty pursuant to the Class A-1 Interest Rate Corridor Contract), and (ii) second, to maintain a balance in the Reserve Fund equal to the Reserve Fund Deposit;

(E)from any remaining Excess Cashflow, to the Class A Certificates, on a pro rata basis, based on the entitlement of each such Class, and then sequentially to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5 and Class M-6 Certificates, in that order, the amount of Relief Act Shortfalls and any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls allocated to such Classes of Certificates, to the extent not previously reimbursed;

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, on any Distribution Date after the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balance of a Class of Class A Certificates or Class M Certificates has been reduced to zero, that Class of Certificates will be retired and will no longer be entitled to distributions, including distributions in respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls or Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amounts.

(b)In addition to the foregoing distributions, with respect to any Subsequent Recoveries, the related Servicer shall deposit such funds into the Protected Account pursuant to Section 4.01(c)(ii). If, after taking into account such Subsequent Recoveries, the amount of a Realized Loss is reduced, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the highest payment priority to which Realized Losses have been allocated, but not by more than the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 6.05; provided, however, to the extent that no reductions to a Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates currently exists as the result of a prior allocation of a Realized Loss, such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied as Excess Spread. The amount of any remaining Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the next highest payment priority, up to the amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 6.05, and so on. Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any payment in respect of Current Interest on the amount of such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the Certificate Principal Balance of each Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective Percentage Interest.

(c)Subject to Section 10.02 hereof respecting the final distribution, on each Distribution Date the Securities Administrator shall make distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder has so notified the Securities Administrator at least 5 Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or, if not, by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 10.02 hereof respecting the final distribution, distributions with respect to Certificates registered in the name of a Depository shall be made to such Depository in immediately available funds.

(d)On or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the fifth Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver the Remittance Report.

Section 5.05Allocation of Realized Losses.

(a)All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Securities Administrator on each Distribution Date as follows: first, to Excess Spread through an increased distribution of the Extra Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date; second, to the Class B-IO Interest and Class B-IO Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance or Uncertificated Principal Balance thereof, as applicable, has been reduced to zero; third, to the Class M-6 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M-5 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Class M-4 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Class M-3 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the Class M-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and ninth, to the Class A-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. All Realized Losses to be allocated to the Certificate Principal Balances of all Classes on any Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the actual distributions to be made on such date as provided above. All references above to the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates shall be to the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class immediately prior to the relevant Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by any Realized Losses, in each case to be allocated to such Class of Certificates, on such Distribution Date.

(b)Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class of Certificates or to the Class B-IO Interest on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance or Uncertificated Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated; any allocation of Realized Losses to Excess Spread shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect of the Class B-IO Interest and the Class B-IO Certificates pursuant to clause (F) of Section 5.04(a)(3).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such allocation of any Realized Loss shall be made on a Distribution Date to any Class of Certificates to the extent that such allocation would result in the reduction of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of all the Certificates as of such Distribution Date, (other than the Class B-IO Certificates) after giving effect to all distributions and prior allocations of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans on such date, to an amount less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all of the Mortgage Loans as of the first day of the month of such Distribution Date (such limitation, the “Loss Allocation Limitation”). In addition in no event will the Certificate Principal Balance of any Certificate be reduced more than once in respect of any particular amount both (i) allocable to such Certificate in respect of Realized Losses and (ii) payable as principal to the Holder of such Certificate from Remaining Excess Spread.

As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a “pro rata basis” among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an allocation on a pro rata basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each such Class of Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding Certificate Principal Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date. All Realized Losses and all other 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.

(i)All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Securities Administrator on each Distribution Date to the following REMIC I Regular Interests in the specified percentages, as follows: first, to Uncertificated Accrued Interest payable to the REMIC I Regular Interest AA and REMIC I Regular Interest ZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC I Interest Loss Allocation Amount (without duplication of shortfalls allocated pursuant to Section 1.02), 98.00% and 2.00%, respectively; second, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC I Regular Interest AA and REMIC I Regular Interest ZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC I Principal Loss Allocation Amount, 98.00% and 2.00%, respectively; third, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest AA, REMIC I Regular Interest M-6 and REMIC I Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest M-6 has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest AA, REMIC I Regular Interest M-5 and REMIC I Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest M-5 has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest AA, REMIC I Regular Interest M-4 and REMIC I Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest M-4 has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest AA, REMIC I Regular Interest M-3 and REMIC I Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest M-3 has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest AA, REMIC I Regular Interest M-2 and REMIC I Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest M-2 has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest AA, REMIC I Regular Interest M-1 and REMIC I Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest M-1 has been reduced to zero; and, ninth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest AA, REMIC I Regular Interest A-1 and REMIC I Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest A-1 has been reduced to zero.

(ii)All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on each Distribution Date to the REMIC II Regular Interests in the same manner and priority as Realized Losses are allocated to the Corresponding Certificates and, in the case of REMIC II Regular Interest B-IO, to the Class B-IO Interest, pursuant to Section 5.05(a); provided, however, that solely for purposes of allocating such Realized Losses to the REMIC II Regular Interests, any such losses allocable to the Class A-2 Certificates shall be deemed to be allocated to the Class A-1 Certificates.

Section 5.06Monthly Statements to Certificateholders.

Section 5.07REMIC Designations and REMIC Distributions.

(a)The Trustee shall elect that each of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III and REMIC IV shall be treated as a REMIC under Section 860D of the Code. Any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of this Agreement shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the validity of such REMIC elections. The assets of REMIC I shall include the Mortgage Loans and all interest owing in respect of and principal due thereon, the Distribution Account, the Protected Accounts, any REO Property, any proceeds of the foregoing and any other assets subject to this Agreement (other than the Reserve Fund, the Class A-1/A-2 Net WAC Reserve Account and the Class A-1 Interest Rate Corridor Contract).

The Class B-IO Interest shall constitute assets of REMIC IV.

(b)On each Distribution Date, the Interest Funds and Principal Funds, in the following order of priority, shall be deemed distributed by REMIC I to REMIC II on account of the REMIC I Regular Interests or withdrawn from the Distribution Account and distributed to the Holders of the Class R-1 Certificates, as the case may be:

(B)any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates; and

(ii)to the holders of the REMIC II Regular Interests, in an amount equal to the remainder of the Interest Funds and Principal Funds for such Distribution Date after the distribution made pursuant to clause (i) above, allocated in the same manner and priority as paid to the Corresponding Certificates, and any remaining amount to the Holders of the Class R-2 Certificates.

(d)On each Distribution Date, for federal income tax purposes, (1) (i) the Regular Interest the ownership of which is represented by the Class A-1 Certificates shall be deemed to receive (x) accrued interest at the related Uncertificated REMIC III Pass-Through Rate on an amount equal to the then current Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates and (y) any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates for such Regular Interest, (ii) the Regular Interest the ownership of which is represented by the Class A-2 Certificates shall be deemed to receive (x) accrued interest at the related Uncertificated REMIC III Pass-Through Rate on an amount equal to the then current Certificate Notional Amount of the Class A-2 Certificates and (y) any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates for such Regular Interests, and (2) amounts distributable in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates shall be deemed distributed to the Regular Interest the ownership of which is represented by such Certificates in reduction of the related principal balance thereof. Any amounts received on each Distribution Date by Holders of the Class A Certificates in excess of, or less than, the amounts specified in the foregoing for the Regular Interests the ownership of which is represented by such Certificates shall be treated in accordance with the provisions relating to Class A-1/A-2 Net WAC Pass-Through Amounts in Section 5.09.

(e)On each Distribution Date, an amount equal to the amounts distributed pursuant to Sections 5.04(a)(3)(C), (D) and (F) on such date shall be deemed distributed from REMIC III to REMIC IV in respect of the Class B-IO Distribution Amount distributable to the Class B-IO Interest.

(a)The Securities Administrator shall establish a Reserve Fund on behalf of the holders of the Regular Certificates. The Reserve Fund shall be an Eligible Account. The Reserve Fund shall be entitled “Reserve Fund, Wells Fargo Bank, N. A. as Securities Administrator for the benefit of Holders of Structured Asset Mortgage Investment II Inc., Mortgage-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-CL1, Class A-1, Class A-2, Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6 and Class B-IO”. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the Reserve Fund an amount equal to the Reserve Fund Deposit. On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amount payable to any Class of Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall deposit the amounts pursuant to clauses (C) and (D) of Section 5.04(a)(3) into the Reserve Fund, and the Securities Administrator has been directed by the Class B-IO Certificateholder to distribute any amounts then on deposit in the Reserve Fund (other than amounts received from the Corridor Contract Counterparty pursuant to the Class A-1 Interest Rate Corridor Contract) to the Holders of the Class A Certificates and Class M Certificates in respect of the Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amount for each such Class in the priorities set forth in clauses (C) and (D) of Section 5.04(a)(3).

(b)The Reserve Fund is an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) and shall be an asset of the Trust Fund but not an asset of any REMIC. The Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trust shall be the nominal owner of the Reserve Fund. The Class B-IO Certificateholders shall be the beneficial owners of the Reserve Fund, subject to the power of the Securities Administrator to transfer amounts under Section 5.04(a)(3). Amounts in the Reserve Fund shall be held either uninvested in a trust or deposit account of the Securities Administrator with no liability for interest or other compensation thereof or, at the direction of the Class B-IO Certificateholder, be invested in Permitted Investments that mature no later than the Business Day prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date. All net income and gain from such investments shall be distributed to the Class B-IO Certificateholder, not as a distribution in respect of any interest in any REMIC, on such Distribution Date. All amounts earned on amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be taxable to the Class B-IO Certificateholder. Any losses on such investments shall be deposited in the Reserve Fund by the Class B-IO Certificateholder out of its own funds immediately as realized. In the event that the Class B-IO Certificateholder shall fail to provide investment instructions to the Securities Administrator, the amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be held uninvested.

(c)For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Holders of the Class A Certificates and Class M Certificates to receive payments from the Reserve Fund in respect of any Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amount shall be assigned a value of zero.

Section 5.09Class A-1/A-2 Net WAC Pass-Through Amount; Class A-1/A-2 Net WAC Reserve Account.

(a)The Securities Administrator shall establish a Class A-1/A-2 Net WAC Reserve Account on behalf of the Holders of the Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates. The Class A-1/A-2 Net WAC Reserve Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Class A-1/A-2 Net WAC Reserve Account shall be entitled “Class A-1/A-2 Net WAC Reserve Account, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Securities Administrator on behalf of U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for the benefit of Holders of Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., Mortgage-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-CL1, Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates”. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the Class A-1/A-2 Net WAC Reserve Account an amount equal to the Class A-1/A-2 Net WAC Reserve Account Deposit.

(b)On each Distribution Date on which the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates on the Mortgage Loans is less than the Class A-1/A-2 Target Rate, the Uncertificated Accrued Interest in respect of the Regular Interest the ownership of which is represented by the Class A-1 Certificates will include the Class A-1/A-2 Net WAC Pass-Through Amount for such Distribution Date. On each such Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall deposit into the Class A-1/A-2 Net WAC Reserve Account the Class A-1/A-2 Net WAC Pass-Through Amount rather than distributing such amount to the Class A-1 Certificateholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Class A-1/A-2Net WAC Pass-Through Amount shall for federal, state and local tax purposes be deemed distributed to the Class A-1 Certificateholders in respect of the Regular Interest the ownership of which is represented by the Class A-1 Certificates. On each such Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall hold the Class A-1/A-2A Net WAC Pass-Through Amount for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A-2 Certificates, and shall distribute such amount to the Holders of the Class A-2 Certificates. Payments to the Holders of the Class A-2 Certificates of any Class A-1/A-2 Net WAC Pass-Through Amount will not be payments with respect to a Regular Interest in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).

(c)By accepting a Class A-1 Certificate, each Class A-1 Certificateholder thereby agrees to direct the Securities Administrator, and the Securities Administrator is hereby directed, to deposit into the Class A-1/A-2 Net WAC Reserve Account any Class A-1/A-2 Net WAC Pass-Through Amount rather than distributing such amounts to the Class A-1 Certificateholders and further agrees that such direction is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance. By accepting a Class A-1 Certificate, each Class A-1 Certificateholder acknowledges that any such Class A-1/A-2 Net WAC Pass-Through Amount shall for federal, state and local tax purposes be deemed distributed in respect of the Regular Interest the ownership of which is represented by the Class A-1 Certificates. By accepting a Class A-2 Certificate, each Class A-2 Certificateholder acknowledges that for federal, state and local tax purposes any payments of such Class A-1/A-2 Net WAC Pass-Through Amount shall not be payments with respect to a Regular Interest in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).

(d)The Class A-1/A-2 Net WAC Reserve Account is an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) and shall be an asset of the Trust Fund but not an asset of any REMIC. The Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trust shall be the nominal owner of the Class A-1/A-2 Net WAC Reserve Account. The Class A-1 Certificateholder shall be the beneficial owner of the Class A-1/A-2 Net WAC Reserve Account, subject to the power of the Securities Administrator to transfer amounts under clause (b) above. Amounts in the Class A-1/A-2 Net WAC Reserve Account shall be held uninvested.

(e)The Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall demand payment of all money payable by the Corridor Contract Counterparty under the Class A-1 Interest Rate Corridor Contract. The Securities Administrator shall deposit in the Reserve Fund all payments received from the Corridor Contract Counterparty pursuant to the Class A-1 Interest Rate Corridor Contract. On each Distribution Date the Securities Administrator shall remit amounts received from the Corridor Contract Counterparty to the Holders of the Class A-1 Certificates as an Additional Interest Amountfor such Class of Certificates for such Distribution Date.

Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of Transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of Transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

(iii)In the case of an Individual Certificate of a Class being transferred to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate of such Class, the Securities Administrator shall register such transfer if the transferee has provided the Securities Administrator with a Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate or comparable evidence as to its QIB status.

(iv)No restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer or registration of transfer of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of a Class to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of such Class; provided that each such transferee shall be deemed to have made such representations and warranties contained in the Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate as are sufficient to establish that it is a QIB.

(ii)Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate of a Class for an Individual Certificate of such Class as provided herein, the Securities Administrator shall (or shall request the Depository to) endorse on the schedule affixed to such Global Certificate (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to such Global Certificate and made a part thereof) or otherwise make in its books and records an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and a decrease in the certificate balance of such Global Certificate equal to the certificate balance of such Individual Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof.

The Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, cause the Depository (or its nominee) to notify the Securities Administrator in writing of a request for transfer or exchange of such beneficial interest for an Individual Certificate or Certificates. Following a proper request for transfer or exchange, the Securities Administrator shall, within five Business Days of such request made at the Corporate Trust Office, sign, countersign and deliver at the Corporate Trust Office, to the transferee (in the case of transfer) or Holder (in the case of exchange) or send by first class mail at the risk of the transferee (in the case of transfer) or Holder (in the case of exchange) to such address as the transferee or Holder, as applicable, may request, an Individual Certificate or Certificates, as the case may require, for a like aggregate Percentage Interest and in such authorized denomination or denominations as may be requested. The presentation for transfer or exchange of any Individual Certificate shall not be valid unless made at the Corporate Trust Office by the registered Holder in person, or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact.

(h)No Transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such Transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and such state securities laws. In the event that a Transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator in writing the facts surrounding the Transfer by (x)(i) the delivery to the Securities Administrator by the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer of a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit D (the “Transferor Certificate”) and (ii) the delivery by the Certificateholder’s prospective transferee of (A) a letter in substantially the form of Exhibit E (the “Investment Letter”) if the prospective transferee is an Institutional Accredited Investor or (B) a letter in substantially the form of Exhibit F (the “Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate”) if the prospective transferee is a QIB or (y) there shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator that such Transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Sellers, the Master Servicer or the Trustee. Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, no restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer or registration of transfer of a beneficial interest in any Certificate that is a Global Certificate of a Class to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of such Class provided that each such transferee shall be deemed to have made such representations and warranties contained in the Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate as are sufficient to establish that it is a QIB. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for Transfer of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such Transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Sellers and the Master 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.

Neither the Trustee, the Securities Administrator nor the Master Servicer will be required to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with the transfer restrictions with respect to the Global Certificates. Any attempted or purported transfer of any Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 6.02 shall be void ab initio and such Certificate shall be considered to have been held continuously by the prior permitted Certificateholder. Any transferor of any Certificate in violation of such provisions, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer as a result of such attempted or purported transfer. Neither the Trustee, the Securities Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall have any liability for transfer of any such Global Certificates in or through book-entry facilities of any Depository or between or among Depository Participants or Certificate Owners made in violation of the transfer restrictions set forth herein.

No Transfer of a Class B-IO or Residual Certificate shall be made unless either (i) the transferee of such Certificate provides a representation, or is deemed to represent in the case of a Global Certificate, to the Securities Administrator acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, to the effect that such transferee is not a Plan, or a Person acting on behalf of a Plan or using the assets of a Plan, or (ii) in the case of any such Certificate presented for registration in the name of a Plan, or a trustee of a Plan or any other person acting on behalf of a Plan, the Securities Administrator shall have received an Opinion of Counsel for the benefit of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer and on which they may rely, satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, to the effect that the purchase and holding of such Certificate are permissible under applicable law, will not result in any prohibited transactions under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor. Neither the Trustee, the Securities Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall be required to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with the transfer restrictions with respect to any ERISA Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, and neither the Trustee, the Securities Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall have any liability for transfers of any such Book-Entry Certificates made through the book-entry facilities of any Depository or between or among participants of the Depository or Certificate Owners made in violation of the transfer restrictions set forth herein. Neither the Trustee, the Securities Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 6.02(h) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that was in fact a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of a Plan at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became a Plan or Person acting on behalf of a Plan, all payments made on such ERISA Restricted Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Securities Administrator to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not a Plan or Person acting on behalf of a Plan.

(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 the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

(i)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.

(ii)No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Securities Administrator shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the Securities Administrator under subparagraph (b) above, the Securities Administrator shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a “Transfer Affidavit”) of the initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

(iii)Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee.

(iv)Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 6.02(i) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 6.02(i), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Residual Certificate. Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall be under liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 6.02(h) and this Section 6.02(i) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Securities Administrator to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.

(v)The Master Servicer shall make available within 60 days of written request from the Securities Administrator, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee.

The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this Section 6.02(i) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring after delivery to the Securities Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Securities Administrator, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Sellers or the Master Servicer to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions, or any Transfer allowed by the elimination of such restrictions, will not cause REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III or REMIC IV, as applicable, to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement that, based on an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Securities Administrator and furnished to the Securities Administrator, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.

(j)The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above in this Section 6.02 shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Sellers or the Master Servicer.

Section 6.03Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Securities Administrator, or the Securities Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and of the ownership thereof and (b) there is delivered to the Securities Administrator such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save the Securities Administrator and the Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Securities Administrator that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 6.03, 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 Securities Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. All Certificates surrendered to the Securities Administrator under the terms of this Section 6.03 shall be canceled and destroyed by the Securities Administrator in accordance with its standard procedures without liability on its part.

Section 6.04Persons Deemed Owners.

The Securities Administrator or the Trustee and any agent of the Securities Administrator or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Securities Administrator shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Section 6.05Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses.

If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing from the Securities Administrator, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the communication that such Certificateholders propose to transmit or if the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall request such information in writing from the Securities Administrator, then the Securities Administrator shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the Depositor, the Master Servicer or such Certificateholders at such recipients’ expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of the Trust Fund held by the Securities Administrator, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Securities Administrator shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section 6.06Book-Entry Certificates.

The Regular Certificates (other than the Class B-IO), upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to the Depository by or on behalf of the Depositor. Such Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the Depository or its nominee, and no Certificate Owner of such Certificates will receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner’s interest in such Certificates, except as provided in Section 6.08. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) have been issued to the Certificate Owners of such Certificates pursuant to Section 6.08:

(a)the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect;

(e)the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants;

(f)the Securities Administrator may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants; and

(g)to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section shall control.

For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Certificateholders evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of any Class of Certificates, such direction or consent may be given by Certificate Owners (acting through the Depository and the Depository Participants) owning Book-Entry Certificates evidencing the requisite percentage of principal amount of such Class of Certificates.

The Private Certificates shall initially be held in fully registered certificated form. If at any time the Holders of all of the Certificates of one or more such Classes request that the Securities Administrator cause such Class to become Global Certificates, the Depositor (with the assistance of the Securities Administrator) will take such action as may be reasonably required to cause the Depository to accept such Class or Classes for trading if it may legally be so traded. If at anytime there are to be Global Certificates, the Global Certificates shall be delivered to the Depository by the Depositor or deposited with the Securities Administrator as custodian for the Depository.

All transfers by Certificate Owners of such respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates and any Global Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer 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.

Section 6.07Notices to Depository.

Whenever any notice or other communication is required to be given to Certificateholders of a Class with respect to which Book-Entry Certificates have been issued, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to the related Certificate Owners, the Securities Administrator shall give all such notices and communications to the Depository.

Section 6.08Definitive Certificates.

If, after Book-Entry Certificates have been issued with respect to any Certificates, (a) the Depositor or the Depository advises the Securities Administrator that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities under the Depository Agreement with respect to such Certificates and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor or (b) the Depositor, with the consent of Depository Participants, advises the Securities Administrator that it elects to terminate the book-entry system with respect to such Certificates through the Depository, then the Securities Administrator shall notify all Certificate Owners of such Certificates, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to applicable Certificate Owners requesting the same. The Depositor shall provide the Securities Administrator with an adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon surrender to the Securities Administrator of any such Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Securities Administrator shall countersign and deliver such Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.

In addition, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Certificate Owner materially adversely affected thereby may at its option request a Definitive Certificate evidencing such Certificate Owner’s Voting Rights in the related Class of Certificates. In order to make such request, such Certificate Owner shall, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, provide the Depository or the related Depository Participant with directions for the Securities Administrator to exchange or cause the exchange of the Certificate Owner’s interest in such Class of Certificates for an equivalent Voting Right in fully registered definitive form. Upon receipt by the Securities Administrator of instructions from the Depository directing the Securities Administrator to effect such exchange (such instructions to contain information regarding the Class of Certificates and the Certificate Principal Balance being exchanged, the Depository Participant account to be debited with the decrease, the registered Holder of and delivery instructions for the definitive Certificate, and any other information reasonably required by the Securities Administrator), (i) the Securities Administrator shall instruct the Depository to reduce the related Depository Participant’s account by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the definitive Certificate, (ii) the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in accordance with the registration and delivery instructions provided by the Depository, a definitive Certificate evidencing such Certificate Owner’s Voting Rights in such Class of Certificates and (iii) the Securities Administrator shall execute and authenticate a new Book-Entry Certificate reflecting the reduction in the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates by the amount of the definitive Certificates.

Section 6.09Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Securities Administrator will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an office or offices or agency or agencies located at Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Sixth Street and Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479, Attn: PRIME 2006-CL1, where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Securities Administrator will give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in such location of any such office or agency.

(a)The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Persons for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part that may be sustained in connection with, arising out of, or relating to, any claim or legal action relating to this Agreement, including the powers of attorney delivered pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, (i) related to the Master Servicer’s failure to perform its duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or (ii) incurred by reason of the Master Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder, provided, in each case, that with respect to any such claim or legal action (or pending or threatened claim or legal action), the affected Indemnified Person shall have given the Master Servicer and EMC written notice thereof promptly after a Responsible Officer of such Indemnified Person shall have with respect to such claim or legal action actual knowledge thereof; provided, however that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Master Servicer of its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent the Master Servicer is prejudiced thereby. This indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator and the termination of this Agreement.

(b)The Sponsor will indemnify any Indemnified Person for any loss, liability or expense of any Indemnified Person not otherwise paid or covered pursuant to Subsection (a) above.

Such indemnification shall survive termination of this Agreement.

(d)Neither the Depositor nor the Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties under this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, the Master 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. In such event, 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 Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Distribution Account as provided by Section 5.02. Nothing in this SubSection 7.04(d) shall affect the Master Servicer’s obligation to master service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.01.

(e)In taking or recommending any course of action pursuant to this Agreement, unless specifically required to do so pursuant to this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be required to investigate or make recommendations concerning potential liabilities which the Trust might incur as a result of such course of action by reason of the condition of the Mortgaged Properties but shall give notice to the Trustee if it has notice of such potential liabilities.

Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to and delivered to, the Trustee. No such resignation by the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor to the Master Servicer reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 8.02 hereof. The Trustee shall notify each Rating Agency of the resignation of the Master Servicer.

Section 7.06Successor Master Servicer.

In connection with the appointment of any successor Master Servicer or the assumption of the duties of the Master Servicer, EMC or the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor master servicer out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as EMC or the Trustee and such successor master servicer shall agree. If the successor master servicer does not agree that such market value is a fair price, such successor master servicer shall obtain two quotations of market value from third parties actively engaged in the servicing of single family mortgage loans. In no event shall the compensation of any successor master servicer exceed that permitted the Master Servicer hereunder without the consent of all of the Certificateholders.

ARTICLE VIII

DEFAULT; TERMINATION OF MASTER SERVICER;

Section 8.01Events of Default.

“Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events:

(i)any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Securities Administrator any amounts received or collected by the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans and required to be remitted by it hereunder (other than any Advance), which failure shall continue unremedied for one Business Day after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Trustee and the Master Servicer by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates;

(ii)any failure by the Master Servicer to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement or any breach of a representation or warranty by the Master Servicer, which failure or breach shall continue unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Trustee and the Master Servicer by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates;

(iii)a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days;

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

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

(vi)the Master Servicer assigns or delegates its duties or rights under this Agreement in contravention of the provisions permitting such assignment or delegation under Sections 7.05 or 7.07;

(vii)The Master Servicer fails to deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the Distribution Account any Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable Advance) by 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the first Business Day preceding the Distribution Date; or

(viii)Any failure by the Master Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Sections 3.16, 3.17 or 3.18 which failure continues unremedied at the end of the cure period set forth under such Sections.

If an Event of Default shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates, the Trustee shall in the case of any Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (vii) above, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights and obligations (but not the liabilities) of the Master Servicer (and the Securities Administrator if the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same entity) under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) hereunder, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee, or any successor Master Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 8.02 (a “Successor Master Servicer” and, if applicable, “Successor Securities Administrator”). Such Successor Master Servicer shall thereupon if such Successor Master Servicer is a successor to the Master Servicer, make any Advance required by Article V, subject, in the case of the Trustee, to Section 8.02. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the terminated Master Servicer and, if applicable, the terminated Securities Administrator, as attorney- in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of any Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. Unless expressly provided in such written notice, no such termination shall affect any obligation of the Master Servicer to pay amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII or Article X. The Master Servicer and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the applicable Successor Master Servicer of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited to the Distribution Account maintained pursuant to Section 4.04, or thereafter be received with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of the occurrence of an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee.

Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan that was due prior to the notice terminating the Master Servicer’s rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion thereof to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to Section 5.02 and to receive any other amounts payable to the Master Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its activities hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default described in clause (vii) of this Section 8.01 shall occur and the Securities Administrator fails to make such Advance described in clause (vii) of Section 8.01, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, which may be delivered by telecopy, immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer thereafter arising under this Agreement, but without prejudice to any rights it may have as a Certificateholder or to reimbursement of Advances and other advances of its own funds, and the Trustee shall act as provided in Section 8.02 to carry out the duties of the Master Servicer, including the obligation to make any Advance the nonpayment of which was an Event of Default described in clause (vii) of this Section 8.01. Any such action taken by the Trustee must be prior to the distribution on the relevant Distribution Date.

Section 8.02Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof the Trustee shall automatically become the successor to the Master Servicer with respect to the transactions set forth or provided for herein and after a transition period (not to exceed 90 days), shall have all of the rights and powers of, and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided further, however that, pursuant to Article V hereof, the Trustee in its capacity as successor Master Servicer shall be responsible for making any Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer immediately upon the termination of the Master Servicer and any such Advance shall be made on the Distribution Date on which such Advance was required to be made by the predecessor Master Servicer. Effective on the date of such notice of termination, as compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all compensation, reimbursement of expenses and indemnification that the Master Servicer would have been entitled to if it had continued to act hereunder, provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for any acts or omissions of the Master Servicer, (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so under applicable law, (iii) responsible for expenses of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03 or (iv) obligated to deposit losses on any Permitted Investment directed by the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making Advances pursuant to Article V or if it is otherwise unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder. Any Successor Master Servicer shall (i) be an institution that is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing, that has a net worth of at least $15,000,000, and (ii) be willing to act as successor servicer of any Mortgage Loans under the related Servicing Agreement with respect to which the related Servicer has been terminated as servicer, and shall have executed and delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, that contains an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer (other than any liabilities of the Master Servicer hereof incurred prior to termination of the Master Servicer under Section 8.01 or as otherwise set forth herein), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement, provided that each Rating Agency shall have acknowledged in writing that its rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or reduced as a result of such assignment and delegation. If the Trustee assumes the duties and responsibilities of the Master Servicer in accordance with this Section 8.02, the Trustee shall not resign as Master Servicer until a Successor Master Servicer has been appointed and has accepted such appointment. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans or otherwise as it and such successor shall agree; provided that no such compensation unless agreed to by the Certificateholders shall be in excess of that permitted the Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other Successor Master Servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it.

The costs and expenses of the Trustee in connection with the termination of the Master Servicer, appointment of a Successor Master Servicer and, if applicable, any transfer of master servicing, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of all master servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such master servicing data as may be required by the Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the master servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee or the Successor Master Servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively, to the extent not previously paid by the terminated Master Servicer, shall be payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.05.

Section 8.03Notification to Certificateholders.

(a)Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency.

(b)Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of each such Event of Default hereunder actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

Section 8.04Waiver of Defaults.

The Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders, within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured, notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee. The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the Voting Rights may, on behalf of all Certificateholders, waive any default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consequences thereof, except a default in the making of or the causing to be made of any required remittances to the Securities Administrator. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall be deemed to cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been timely remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. The Trustee shall give notice of any such waiver to the Rating Agencies.

ARTICLE IX

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR

If an Event of Default has occurred and has not been cured or waived, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.

(b)Upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments which are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Master Servicer or pursuant to any provision of this Agreement; provided, further, that neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall not be responsible for the accuracy or verification of any calculation provided to it pursuant to this Agreement.

(c)On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall make monthly distributions and the final distribution to the Certificateholders from funds in the Distribution Account as provided in Sections 5.04 and 10.01 herein.

(i)Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver of all such Events of Default which may have occurred with respect to the Trustee and at all times with respect to the Securities Administrator, the duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable except for the performance of their respective 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 or the Securities Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, 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 or the Securities Administrator and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;

(ii)Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable in its individual capacity for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(iii)Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the directions of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates (or such other percentage as specifically set forth herein), if such action or non-action relates to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, or exercising any trust or other power conferred upon the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, under this Agreement;

(iv)The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge thereof. In the absence of such knowledge, the Trustee may conclusively assume there is no such default or Event of Default;

(v)Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be in any way liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Account held by or in the name of the Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable unless it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable judgment that the Trustee’s or the Securities Administrator’s, as applicable, negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of such insufficiency (except to the extent that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator is obligor and has defaulted thereon);

(vi)Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee or the Securities Administrator be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; and

(vii)None of the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Seller, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Custodians shall be responsible for the acts or omissions of the other, it being understood that this Agreement shall not be construed to render them partners, joint venturers or agents of one another.

Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial 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 adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder or the related Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement. The Trustee is here by authorized and directed to enter into the Assignment Agreements.

Section 9.08 Resignation and Removal of Trustee and Securities Administrator.

The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may at any time resign (including, in the case of the Securities Administrator, in connection with the resignation or termination of the Master Servicer) and be discharged from the Trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Securities Administrator (or the Trustee, if the Securities Administrator resigns) and the Master Servicer, with a copy to each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable, (and in the case of the Securities Administrator’s removal, the Trustee may appoint a successor securities administrator) by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to each of the resigning trustee or securities administrator, as applicable, and the successor trustee or securities administrator, as applicable.

The Holders evidencing at least 51% of the Voting Rights of each Class of Certificates may at any time remove the Trustee or Securities Administrator and appoint a successor trustee or securities administrator by written instrument or instruments, in multiple copies, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered by the successor trustee or successor securities administrator to each of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or Securities Administrator so removed and the successor trustee or securities administrator so appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee or Securities Administrator shall be given to each Rating Agency by the related successor.

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and appointment of a successor trustee or securities administrator pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.08 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or securities administrator as provided in Section 9.09 hereof and upon acceptance of appointment by a successor derivative administrator under the Derivative Administration Agreement.

Section 9.09 Successor Trustee or Securities Administrator.

Any successor trustee or securities administrator appointed as provided in Section 9.08 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, to its predecessor trustee or predecessor securities administrator, as applicable, and the Master Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee or securities administrator shall become effective and such successor trustee or 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 the like effect as if originally named as trustee or securities administrator herein.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or securities administrator as provided in this Section 9.09, the successor trustee or securities administrator shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee or securities administrator hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the successor trustee or securities administrator fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment, the Depositor shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Trust Fund.

Any corporation, state bank or national banking association into which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation, state bank or national banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be a party, or any corporation, state bank or national banking association succeeding to substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee or of the business of the Securities Administrator, shall be the successor of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06 hereof without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 9.11 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 Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity 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 9.11, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer 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 an 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 9.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 9.09.

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)All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee under this Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Master 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 act or acts are to be performed (whether a Trustee hereunder or as a Successor Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed 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

(iii)The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any 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 then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article IX. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of 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 Master Servicer and 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 9.12 Tax Matters.

It is intended that the Trust Fund shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Trust Fund shall be conducted so that each REMIC formed hereunder qualifies as, a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions.

(b) the Securities Administrator shall apply for an employer identification number with the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other comparable method for each REMIC that is or becomes a taxable entity, and within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the Person that the Holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional information as may be required by such form, and update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code for the Trust Fund; (c) the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall make, or cause to be made elections, on behalf of each REMIC formed hereunder to be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return of such REMIC for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law); (d) the Securities Administrator shall prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount using the Prepayment Assumption; (e) the Securities Administrator shall provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee is the record Holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax); (f) each of the Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall, to the extent under its control, conduct the affairs of the Trust Fund at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of each REMIC formed hereunder as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g) neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any REMIC formed hereunder; (h) the Securities Administrator shall pay, from the sources specified in the penultimate paragraph of this Section 9.12, the amount of any federal, state and local taxes, including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on any REMIC formed hereunder prior to the termination of the Trust Fund when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Securities Administrator or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Securities Administrator from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) the Trustee shall sign or cause to be signed federal, state or local income tax or information returns or any other document prepared by the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section 9.12 requiring a signature thereon by the Trustee; (j) the Securities Administrator shall maintain records relating to each REMIC formed hereunder including but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities of each such REMIC and adjusted basis of the Trust Fund property determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information; (k) the Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to the REMICs on a calendar year and on an accrual basis; (l) none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator shall enter into any arrangement not otherwise provided for in this Agreement by which the REMICs will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit the REMICs 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; and (m) as and when necessary and appropriate, the Securities Administrator, at the expense of the Trust Fund, shall represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any REMIC formed hereunder, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of the Trust Fund, and otherwise act on behalf of each REMIC formed hereunder in relation to any tax matter involving any such REMIC.

In order to enable each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator within 10 days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may, from time to time, request in order to enable the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, on a timely basis.

In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III or REMIC IV as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III or REMIC IV after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including, without limitation, any federal, state or local tax or minimum tax imposed upon any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III or REMIC IV, and is not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, if any such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator of any of its obligations under this Agreement, provided, however, in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any losses other than those arising out of a negligent performance by the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator of its duties and obligations set forth herein, or (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates), (ii) any party hereto (other than the Master Serviceror the Securities Administrator) to the extent any such tax arises out of or results from a breach by such other party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or (iii) in all other cases, or in the event that any liable party hereto fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), any such tax will be paid first with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Class R Certificateholders, and second with amounts otherwise to be distributed to all the Holders of the following Certificates in the following order of priority: first, to the Class M-6 Certificates, second, to the Class M-5 Certificates, third, to the Class M-4 Certificates, fourth, to the Class M-3 Certificates, fifth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, sixth, to the Class M-1 Certificates, and seventh, to the Class A Certificates (pro rata based on the amounts to be distributed).

The Securities Administrator shall promptly notify in writing the party liable for any such tax of the amount thereof and the due date for the payment thereof.

Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall distribute to Certificateholders of each Class the amounts allocable to such Certificates held in the Distribution Account in the order and priority set forth in Section 5.04 hereof on the final Distribution Date and in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Securities Administrator shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year after the second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund that remain subject hereto.

(a)Upon exercise by the Majority Class B-IO Certificateholder or the Master Servicer, as applicable, of its purchase option as provided in Section 10.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator at the expense of the Majority Class B-IO Certificateholder or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of a REMIC, or (ii) cause a REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:

(1)The Majority Class B-IO Certificateholder or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall establish a 90-day liquidation period and notify the Securities Administrator thereof, and the Securities Administrator shall in turn specify the first day of such period in a statement attached to the tax return for each of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III and REMIC IV pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.860F-1. The Majority Class B-IO Certificateholder or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall satisfy all the requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee obtained at the expense of the Majority Class B-IO Certificateholder or the Master Servicer, as applicable;

(2)During such 90-day liquidation period, and at or prior to the time of making the final payment on the Certificates, the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee, shall sell all of the assets of REMIC I for cash; and

(3)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 (other than cash retained to meet claims), and REMIC I shall terminate at that time.

(b)By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby authorize the adoption of a 90-day liquidation period and the adoption of a plan of complete liquidation for REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III and REMIC IV, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor Certificateholders.

(c)The Securities Administrator as agent for each REMIC hereby agrees to adopt and sign such a plan of complete liquidation meeting the requirements for a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder upon the written request of the Majority Class B-IO Certificateholder or the Master Servicer, as applicable, and the receipt of the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 10.03(a)(1) and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Majority Class B-IO Certificateholder or the Master Servicer, as applicable.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 11.01 Amendment.

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by parties hereto without the consent of any of the Certificateholders to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein (including to give effect to the expectations of investors), to change the manner in which the Distribution Account maintained by the Master Servicer is maintained, to revise any provisions to reflect the obligations of the parties to this Agreement as they relate to Regulation AB or to make such other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement as shall not be inconsistent with any other provisions herein if such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee), adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; provided that any such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders and no such Opinion of Counsel shall be required if the Person requesting such amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that such amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Certificateholders, the parties hereto may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or appropriate to maintain the qualification of any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III or REMIC IV as a REMIC under the Code or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III or REMIC IV pursuant to the Code that would be a claim against any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III or REMIC IV at any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates, provided that the Trustee and the Securities Administrator have been provided an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such action is necessary or appropriate to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax.

This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties hereto with the consent of the Holders of each Class of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes 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 that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) cause any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III or REMIC IV to cease to qualify as a REMIC or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates of each Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such amendment but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, to the effect that such amendment will not (other than an amendment pursuant to clause (ii) of, and in accordance with, the preceding paragraph) cause the imposition of any tax on any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III or REMIC IV or the Certificateholders or cause any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III or REMIC IV to cease to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. Further, nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to the Trustee that (i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and that all requirements for amending this Agreement (including any consent of the applicable Certificateholders) have been complied with.

Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 11.01, none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall enter into any amendment to Section 3.21 or Section 5.04(a)(3)(F) of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Corridor Contract Counterparty, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall not enter into an amendment that has a materially adverse effect on the Corridor Contract Counterparty without the Corridor Contract Counterparty’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the Securities Administrator shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder, the Corridor Contract Counterparty and each Rating Agency.

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

Section 11.02Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all of the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere. The Master Servicer shall effect such recordation at the Trust’s expense upon the request in writing of a Certificateholder, but only if such direction is accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (provided at the expense of the Certificateholder requesting recordation) to the effect that such recordation would materially and beneficially affect the interests of the Certificateholders or is required by law.

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 constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 11.03Governing Law.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAWS).

Section 11.04Intention of Parties.

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, assignments of Mortgages, title insurance policies and any modifications, extensions and/or assumption agreements and private mortgage insurance policies relating to the Mortgage Loans by the Sellers to the Depositor, and by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof to the Depositor or the Trustee, as applicable. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge thereof by the Seller to the Depositor, or by the Depositor to the Trustee. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the property of the Sellers or the Depositor, as applicable, or if for any other reason the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in such assets, then (i) the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement shall each be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the conveyance provided for in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement from the Sellers to the Depositor, and the conveyance provided for in this Agreement from the Depositor to the Trustee, shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Sellers or the Depositor, as applicable, for the benefit of the Certificateholders of a security interest in all of the assets that constitute the Trust Fund, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

The Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the assets of the Trust Fund, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement.

Section 11.06Severability of Provisions.

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

Section 11.07Assignment.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as provided pursuant to Section 7.02, this Agreement may not be assigned by the Master Servicer, the Sponsor or the Depositor.

Section 11.08Limitation 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 representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or winding up of the Trust Fund, or otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.

No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided 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 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 party 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 or by availing itself of any provisions 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 such Holder previously shall have given to the Securities Administrator a written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made written request to 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 60 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 being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Securities Administrator, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of the 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 common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 11.08, each and every Certificateholder or the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Section 11.09Inspection and Audit Rights.

The Master Servicer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Depositor or the Trustee during the Master Servicer’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Master Servicer relating to the Mortgage Loans, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by independent certified public accountants selected by the Depositor and the Trustee and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts relating to such Mortgage Loans with its officers, employees and independent public accountants (and by this provision the Master Servicer hereby authorizes such accountants to discuss with such representative such affairs, finances and accounts), all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. Any out-of-pocket expense incident to the exercise by the Depositor or the Trustee of any right under this Section 11.09 shall be borne by the party requesting such inspection, subject to such party’s right to reimbursement hereunder (in the case of the Trustee, pursuant to Section 9.05 hereof).

PRIME MORTGAGE TRUST 2006-CL1

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

SERIES 2006-CL1

evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the Class A-[1][2] Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of conventional, closed-end, first lien, one- to four-family fixed interest rate mortgage loans sold by STRUCTURED ASSET MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS II INC.

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of Structured Asset Mortgage Investements, the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”) generally consisting of conventional, closed-end, first lien, fixed rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four- family residences (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc. (“SAMI II”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) to SAMI II. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (in that capacity, the “Master Servicer,” which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among SAMI II, as depositor (the “Depositor”), EMC Mortgage Corporation as seller (in such capacity, the “Seller”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer and securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”) and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue from and including the immediately preceding Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) (or with respect to the First Distribution Date, the Closing Date) to and including the day prior to the current Distribution Date on the Certificate Principal Balance hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate set forth above. The Securities Administrator will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date so long as such Certificate remains in book-entry form (and otherwise, the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month of such Distribution Date), an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in the month following the latest scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan.

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Securities Administrator by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Securities Administrator in writing as specified in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose and designated in such notice. The initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate is set forth above. The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.

The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund 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 hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Securities Administrator and the Trustee.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of the Class or Classes of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes. 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 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 with the Securities Administrator upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Securities Administrator for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.

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

No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of (A) the maturity or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (B) the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to a certain percentage of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date as set forth in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date (as defined in the Agreement).

Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Securities Administrator by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.

This certifies that ____________________ is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”) generally consisting of conventional, first lien, fixed rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four- family residences (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc. (“SAMI II”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) to SAMI II. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (in that capacity, the “Master Servicer,” which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among SAMI II, as depositor (the “Depositor”), EMC Mortgage Corporation as seller (in such capacity, the “Seller”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer and securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”) and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

[For Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5 and Class M-6]Interest on this Certificate will accrue from and including the immediately preceding Distribution Date (or with respect to the First Distribution Date, the Closing Date) to and including the day prior to the current Distribution Date on the Certificate Principal Balance hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate set forth above. The Securities Administrator will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date so long as such Certificate remains in book-entry form (and otherwise, the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month of such Distribution Date), an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in the month following the latest scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan.

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Securities Administrator by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Securities Administrator in writing as specified in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose and designated in such notice. The initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate is set forth above. The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable hereto

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.

The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund 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 hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Securities Administrator and the Trustee.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of the Class or Classes of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes. 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 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 with the Securities Administrator upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Securities Administrator for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.

[For Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6] Each holder of a Certificate or beneficial ownership shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Section 7.02(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Each holder of a Certificate or beneficial ownership shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Section 7.02(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of (A) the maturity or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (B) the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to a certain percentage of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date as set forth in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date (as defined in the Agreement).

Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Securities Administrator by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.

This certifies that __________________ is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”) generally consisting primarily of a pool of fixed interest rate, conventional mortgage loans that are secured by first liens on one- to four-family residences (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc. (“SAMI II”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) to SAMI II. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (in that capacity, the “Master Servicer,” which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among SAMI II, as depositor (the “Depositor”), EMC Mortgage Corporation as seller (in such capacity, the “Seller”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer and securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”) and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

The Securities Administrator will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day (or if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such last day) of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the Distribution Date occurs, an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amounts required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate.

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Securities Administrator by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Securities Administrator in writing as specified in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose and designated in such notice.

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the 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 this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the Securities Administrator shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit D and either Exhibit E or Exhibit F, as applicable, and (ii) in all other cases, 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 Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, or the Master Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. Neither the Depositor, the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Sellers and the Master 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.

No transfer of this Class B-IO Certificate will be made unless the Securities Administrator shall have received either (i) the opinion of counsel set forth in Section 7.02(h) of the Agreement or (ii) a representation letter under Section 7.02 of the Agreement, in the form as described by the Agreement, stating that the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a “Plan”), or any other person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any Plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with “plan assets” of any Plan.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.

The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund 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 hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Securities Administrator and the Trustee.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of the Class or Classes of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes. 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 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 with the Securities Administrator upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Securities Administrator for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.

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

No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of (A) the maturity or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (B) the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to a certain percentage of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date as set forth in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date (as defined in the Agreement).

Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Securities Administrator by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

restrictions set forth in the Agreement to the effect that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a Permitted Transferee, (ii) the transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate will be conditioned upon the delivery to the Trustee of, among other things, an affidavit to the effect that it is a Permitted Transferee, (iii) any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the purported transferee, and (iv) if any person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions, then the Depositor will have the right, in its sole discretion and without notice to the Holder of this Certificate, to sell this Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Depositor, which purchaser may be the Depositor, or any affiliate of the Depositor, on such terms and conditions as the Depositor may choose.

The Securities Administrator will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day (or if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such last day) of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the Distribution Date occurs, an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amounts required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate.

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Securities Administrator by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Securities Administrator in writing as specified in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose and designated in such notice.

No transfer of this Class [R-1][ R-2][R-3][RX] Certificate will be made unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall have received either (i) the opinion of counsel set forth in Section 7.02(h) of the Agreement or (ii) a representation letter under Section 7.02 of the Agreement, in the form as described by the Agreement, stating that the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a “Plan”), or any other person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any Plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with “plan assets” of any Plan.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.

The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund 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 hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Securities Administrator and the Trustee.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of the Class or Classes of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes. 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 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 with the Securities Administrator upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Securities Administrator for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.

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

No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of (A) the maturity or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (B) the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to a certain percentage of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date as set forth in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date (as defined in the Agreement).

Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Securities Administrator by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with our purchase of Privately Offered Certificates, we confirm that:

(i)	we understand that the Privately Offered Certificates are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, and are being sold to us in a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of such laws;
(ii)	any information we desired concerning the Certificates, including the Privately Offered Certificates, the trust in which the Certificates represent the entire beneficial ownership interest (the “Trust”) or any other matter we deemed relevant to our decision to purchase Privately Offered Certificates has been made available to us;
(iii)	we are able to bear the economic risk of investment in Privately Offered Certificates; we are an institutional “accredited investor” as defined in Section 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Act and a sophisticated institutional investor;
(iv)	we are acquiring Privately Offered Certificates for our own account, not as nominee for any other person, and not with a present view to any distribution or other disposition of the Privately Offered Certificates;

(vi)	we agree that in the event that at some future time we wish to dispose of or exchange any of the Privately Offered Certificates (such disposition or exchange not being currently foreseen or contemplated), we will not transfer or exchange any of the Privately Offered Certificates unless:

	(B) if the Privately Offered Certificate is not registered under the Act (as to which we acknowledge you have no obligation), the Privately Offered Certificate is sold in a transaction that does not require registration under the Act and any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and, if Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Securities Administrator”) so requests, a satisfactory Opinion of Counsel is furnished to such effect, which Opinion of Counsel shall be an expense of the transferor or the transferee;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Custodian hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned in the Original Pooling and Servicing Agreement, unless otherwise required by the context herein.

ARTICLE II

CUSTODY OF MORTGAGE DOCUMENTS

Section 2.1Custodian to Act as Agent: Acceptance of Mortgage Files. The Custodian, as the duly appointed custodial agent of the Trustee for these purposes, acknowledges (subject to any exceptions noted in the Initial Certification referred to in Section 2.3(a)) receipt of the Mortgage Files relating to the Mortgage Loans identified on the schedule attached hereto (the “Mortgage Files”) and declares that it holds and will hold such Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, in trust, for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

Section 2.2Recordation of Assignments. If any Mortgage File includes one or more assignments of Mortgage to the Trustee in a state which is specifically excluded from the Opinion of Counsel delivered by the Seller to the Trustee and the Custodian pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each such assignment shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Depositor for the purpose of recording it in the appropriate public office for real property records, and the Depositor, at no expense to the Custodian, shall promptly cause to be recorded in the appropriate public office for real property records each such assignment of Mortgage and, upon receipt thereof from such public office, shall return each such assignment of Mortgage to the Custodian.

Section 2.3Review of Mortgage Files.

(a)On or prior to the Closing Date, in accordance with Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall deliver to the Trustee an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit One evidencing receipt (subject to any exceptions noted therein) of a Mortgage File for each of the Mortgage Loans listed on the Schedule attached hereto (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”).

(b)Within 90 days of the Closing Date, the Custodian agrees, for the benefit of the Holders of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, to review, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each such document, and shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee an Interim Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Two to the effect that all such documents have been executed and received and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except for any exceptions listed on Schedule A attached to such Interim Certification. The Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

(c)Not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian shall review the Mortgage Files as provided in Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Three evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files.

(d)In reviewing the Mortgage Files as provided herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall make no representation as to and shall not be responsible to verify (i) the validity, legality, enforceability, due authorization, recordability, sufficiency or genuineness of any of the documents included in any Mortgage File or (ii) the collectability, insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any of the documents in any Mortgage File.

Upon receipt of written request from the Trustee, the Custodian shall as soon as practicable supply the Trustee with a list of all of the documents relating to the Mortgage Loans missing from the Mortgage Files.

Section 2.4Notification of Breaches of Representations and Warranties. Upon discovery by the Custodian of a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Depositor as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to a Mortgage Loan relating to a Mortgage File, the Custodian shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the related Servicer and the Trustee.

Section 2.5Custodian to Cooperate: Release of Mortgage Files. Upon receipt of written notice from the Trustee that the Seller has repurchased a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Article II of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and that the purchase price therefore has been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account or the Distribution Account, then the Custodian agrees to promptly release to the Seller the related Mortgage File.

Upon the Custodian’s receipt of a request for release (a “Request for Release”) substantially in the form of Exhibit D to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement signed by a Servicing Officer of the related Servicer, stating that it has received payment in full of a Mortgage Loan or that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Custodian agrees promptly to release to the related Servicer, the related Mortgage File. The Depositor shall deliver to the Custodian and the Custodian agrees to accept the Mortgage Note and other documents constituting the Mortgage File with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan.

From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any Primary Insurance Policy, the related Servicer, (or if the Servicer does not, the Master Servicer) shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer requesting that possession of all of the Mortgage File be released to the related Servicer and certifying as to the reason for such release and that such release will not invalidate any insurance coverage provided in respect of the Mortgage Loan under any of the Insurance Policies. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File to the related Servicer. The related Servicer shall cause each Mortgage File or any document therein so released to be returned to the Custodian when the need therefore by the related Servicer no longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account or the Distribution Account or (ii) the 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 Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the related 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.

At any time that a Servicer is required to deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release, the Servicer shall deliver two copies of the Request for Release if delivered in hard copy or the Servicer may furnish such Request for Release electronically to the Custodian, in which event the Servicing Officer transmitting the same shall be deemed to have signed the Request for Release. In connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage File because of a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan, such Request for Release shall be followed by an assignment of mortgage, without recourse, representation or warranty from the Trustee to the Seller and the related Mortgage Note shall be endorsed without recourse, representation or warranty by the Trustee and be returned to the Seller provided, however, that in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is registered on the MERS System, no assignment of mortgage or endorsement of the Mortgage Note by the Trustee shall be required. In connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage File because of the payment in full of a Mortgage Loan, such Request for Release shall be accompanied by a certificate of satisfaction or other similar instrument to be executed by or on behalf of the Trustee and returned to the related Servicer.

Section 2.6Assumption Agreements. In the event that any assumption agreement, substitution of liability agreement or sale of servicing agreement is entered into with respect to any Mortgage Loan subject to this Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement, shall cause the related Servicer to notify the Custodian that such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian the original of such assumption or substitution agreement, which shall be added to the related Mortgage File and, for all purposes, shall be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting parts thereof.

ARTICLE III

CONCERNING THE CUSTODIAN

Section 3.1Custodian as Bailee and Agent of the Trustee. With respect to each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and other documents constituting each Mortgage File which are delivered to the Custodian, the Custodian is exclusively the bailee and custodial agent of the Trustee and has no instructions to hold any Mortgage Note or Mortgage for the benefit of any person other than the Trustee and the Certificateholders and undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 2.5 of this Agreement, no Mortgage Note, Mortgage or Mortgage File shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Depositor, the Servicers or the Master Servicer or otherwise released from the possession of the Custodian.

Section 3.2Custodian May Own Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates. The Custodian in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not Custodian.

Section 3.3Master Servicer to Pay Custodian’s Fees and Expenses. The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Custodian from time to time, and the Custodian shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Custodian, and the Master Servicer will pay or reimburse the Custodian upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Custodian in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith or to the extent that such cost or expense is indemnified by the Depositor pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.4Custodian May Resign; Trustee May Remove Custodian. The Custodian may resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed upon it as such obligations and duties relate to its acting as Custodian of the Mortgage Loans. Upon receiving such written notice of resignation, the Trustee shall either take custody of the Mortgage Files itself and give prompt written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Custodian, or promptly appoint a successor Custodian by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Custodian and one copy to the successor Custodian. If the Trustee shall not have taken custody of the Mortgage Files and no successor Custodian shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such written notice of resignation, the resigning Custodian may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Custodian.

The Trustee may remove the Custodian at any time with the consent of the Master Servicer. In such event, the Trustee shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Custodian hereunder. Any successor Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, shall be able to satisfy the other requirements contained in Section 3.6 and shall be unaffiliated with the Servicer, or the Depositor.

Any resignation or removal of the Custodian and appointment of a successor Custodian pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 3.4 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Custodian. The Trustee shall give prompt notice to the Depositor and the Master Servicer of the appointment of any successor Custodian. No successor Custodian shall be appointed by the Trustee without the prior approval of the Depositor and the Master Servicer.

Section 3.5Merger or Consolidation of Custodian. Any Person into which the Custodian may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Custodian shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Custodian, shall be the successor of the Custodian 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.

Section 3.6Representations of the Custodian. The Custodian hereby represents that it is a depository institution subject to supervision or examination by a federal or state authority, has a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000 and is qualified to do business in the jurisdictions in which it will hold any Mortgage File.

Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the mortgage-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. The Custodian shall cooperate reasonably with the Depositor to deliver to the Depositor (including any of its assignees or designees), any and all disclosure, statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the reasonable, good faith determination of the Depositor to permit the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB.

Section 4.2Additional Representations and Warranties of the Custodian.

(a)The Custodian hereby represents and warrants that the information set forth in the Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Description of the Certificates - The Custodians” (the “Custodian Disclosure”) does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Section 4.4Report on Assessment of Compliance and Attestation. On or before March 15 of each calendar year, the Custodian shall:

(a)deliver to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor a report (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer) regarding the Custodian’s assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. Such report shall be addressed to the Master Servicer and signed by an authorized officer of the Custodian, and shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit Four hereto; and

(b)deliver to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor a report of a registered public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer that attests to, and reports on, the assessment of compliance made by the Custodian and delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph.

(i)(A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in the Custodian Disclosure and any information, report, certification, accountants’ attestation or other material provided under this Article IV by or on behalf of the Custodian (collectively, the “Custodian Information”), or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Custodian Information a material fact required to be stated in the Custodian Information or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or

(ii)any failure by the Custodian to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ attestation or other material when and as required under this Article IV.

(b)In the case of any failure of performance described in clause (ii) of Section 4.5(a), the Custodian shall promptly reimburse the Depositor for all costs reasonably incurred by the Depositor in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required by the Custodian.

(a)On or before the Mortgage File Delivery Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller will have made the Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or its agent for examination which may be at the offices of the Trustee or the Mortgage Loan Seller and/or the Mortgage Loan Seller custodian. The fact that the Purchaser or its agent has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the Purchaser’s rights to demand cure, repurchase, substitution or other relief as provided in this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall make the Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or its agent from time to time so as to permit the Purchaser to confirm the Mortgage Loan Seller’s compliance with the delivery and recordation requirements of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In addition, upon request of the Purchaser, the Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to provide to the Purchaser, Bear Stearns and to any investors or prospective investors in the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates information regarding the Mortgage Loans and their servicing, to make the Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser, Bear Stearns and to such investors or prospective investors (which may be at the offices of the Mortgage Loan Seller and/or the Mortgage Loan Seller’s custodian) and to make available personnel knowledgeable about the Mortgage Loans for discussions with the Purchaser, Bear Stearns and such investors or prospective investors, upon reasonable request during regular business hours, sufficient to permit the Purchaser, Bear Stearns and such investors or potential investors to conduct such due diligence as any such party reasonably believes is appropriate.

If the Trustee or Custodian, as its agent, finds any document listed on Exhibit 1 not to have been executed or received, or to be unrelated, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule or to appear defective on its face (a “Material Defect”), the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall promptly notify the Mortgage Loan Seller of such Material Defect. The Mortgage Loan Seller shall correct or cure any such Material Defect within 90 days from the date of notice from the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, of the Material Defect and if the Mortgage Loan Seller fails to correct or cure such Material Defect within such period and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan Seller will, in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within 90 days of the date of notice, provide the Trustee with a Substitute Mortgage Loan (if within two years of the Closing Date) or purchase the related Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price; provided that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered; provided,however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because the originals of such documents, or a certified copy, have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if the Mortgage Loan Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Mortgage Loan Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such office; provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall be effected by the Mortgage Loan Seller within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document.

(d)Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within 180 days of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan, within five Business Days after the receipt by the Trustee or Custodian thereof) the Trustee will review or cause the Custodian to review items of the Mortgage Files as set forth on Exhibit 1 and will deliver to the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Purchaser and the Trustee a final certification substantially in the form of Exhibit Three to the Custodial Agreement. If the Trustee or Custodian, as its agent, finds a Material Defect, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall promptly notify the Mortgage Loan Seller of such Material Defect. The Mortgage Loan Seller shall correct or cure any such Material Defect within 90 days from the date of notice from the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, of the Material Defect and if the Mortgage Loan Seller fails to correct or cure such Material Defect within such period and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan Seller will, in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within 90 days of the date of notice, provide the Trustee with a Substitute Mortgage Loan (if within two years of the Closing Date) or purchase the related Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price; provided that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered; provided,however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because the originals of such documents, or a certified copy, have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if the Mortgage Loan Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Mortgage Loan Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such office; provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall be effected by the Mortgage Loan Seller within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document.

(e)At the time of any substitution, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Substitute Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage File and any other documents and payments required to be delivered in connection with a substitution pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. At the time of any purchase or substitution, the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall (i) assign to the Mortgage Loan Seller and cause the Custodian to release the documents (including, but not limited to, the Mortgage, Mortgage Note and other contents of the Mortgage File) in the possession of the Custodian relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan and (ii) execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Mortgage Loan Seller title to such Deleted Mortgage Loan.

SECTION 6.Recordation of Assignments of Mortgage.

(a)The Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause each assignment of the Security Instrument from the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Trustee to be recorded not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, unless (a) such recordation is not required by the Rating Agencies or an Opinion of Counsel has been provided to the Trustee (with a copy to the Custodian) which states that the recordation of such assignments is not necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loans or (b) MERS is identified on the Mortgage or a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage, as the Mortgagee of record solely as nominee for the Mortgage Loan Seller and its successors and assigns; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, each assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Mortgage Loan Seller in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust or Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the portion of the Trust related to such Classes, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgage Loan Seller and (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 8.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

While each such Mortgage or assignment is being recorded, if necessary, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall leave or cause to be left with the Trustee a certified copy of such Mortgage or assignment. All customary recording fees and reasonable expenses relating to the recordation of the assignments of mortgage to the Trustee or the Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be, shall be borne by the Mortgage Loan Seller.

(b)It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser, as contemplated by this Agreement be, and be treated as, a sale. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Mortgage Loan Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held by a court to continue to be property of the Mortgage Loan Seller, then (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code; (b) the transfer of the Mortgage Loans provided for herein shall be deemed to be a grant by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the Mortgage Loan Seller’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, to the extent the Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to own such Mortgage Loans and proceeds pursuant to Section 4 hereof, including all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in any accounts created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Purchaser or the Trustee of Mortgage Notes and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-313 (or comparable provision) of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code; and (d) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to any provision hereof or pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. The Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 7.Representations and Warranties of Mortgage Loan SellerConcerning the Mortgage Loans. The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser as of the Closing Date, or such other date as may be specified below with respect to each Mortgage Loan being sold by it, that:

(b)The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Mortgage Loan Seller and its respective directors, officers and controlling persons (as defined in Section 15 of the Securities Act) from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability or action in respect thereof, to which they or any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Purchaser’s Information as identified in Exhibit 4, the omission to state in the Prospectus Supplement or Prospectus (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto approved by the Purchaser and in which additional Purchaser’s Information is identified), in reliance upon and in conformity with the Purchaser’s Information, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, (ii) any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser in Section 9 hereof being, or alleged to be, untrue or incorrect, or (iii) any failure by the Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement; and the Purchaser shall reimburse the Mortgage Loan Seller, and each other indemnified party for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Purchaser otherwise may have to the Mortgage Loan Seller, or any other such indemnified party,

(c)Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 13 except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure or from any liability which it may have otherwise). In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly (but, in any event, within 30 days) after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there is a conflict of interest between itself or themselves and the indemnifying party in the conduct of the defense of any claim or that the interests of the indemnified party or parties are not substantially co-extensive with those of the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying parties; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall be liable only for the fees and expenses of one counsel in addition to one local counsel in the jurisdiction involved. Anything in this subsection to the contrary notwithstanding, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement or any claim or action effected without its written consent; provided, however, that such consent was not unreasonably withheld.

(d)If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 13 shall for any reason be unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to in Section 13, then the indemnifying party shall in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Mortgage Loan Seller on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other from the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans, the offering of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates and the other transactions contemplated hereunder. No person found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e)The parties hereto agree that reliance by an indemnified party on any publicly available information or any information or directions furnished by an indemnifying party shall not constitute negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by such indemnified party.

SERVICING CRITERIA TO BE ADDRESSED

IN ASSESSMENT OF COMPLIANCE

Definitions

Primary Servicer - transaction party having borrower contact

Master Servicer - aggregator of pool assets

Securities Administrator - waterfall calculator

Back-up Servicer - named in the transaction (in the event a Back up Servicer becomes the Primary Servicer, follow Primary Servicer obligations)

Custodian - safe keeper of pool assets

Trustee - fiduciary of the transaction

Note: The definitions above describe the essential function that the party performs, rather than the party’s title. So, for example, in a particular transaction, the trustee may perform the “paying agent” and “securities administrator” functions, while in another transaction, the securities administrator may perform these functions.

Where there are multiple checks for criteria the attesting party will identify in their management assertion that they are attesting only to the portion of the distribution chain they are responsible for in the related transaction agreements.

The Company shall maintain a Servicing File consisting of a copy of the contents of each Mortgage File and the originals of the documents in each Mortgage File not delivered to the Purchaser. The Servicing File shall contain all documents necessary to service the Mortgage Loans. The possession of each Servicing File by the Company is at the will of the Purchaser, for the sole purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan, and such retention and possession by the Company is in a custodial capacity only. From the related Closing Date, the ownership of each Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the contents of the related Mortgage File and all rights, benefits, proceeds and obligations arising therefrom or in connection therewith, has been vested in the Purchaser.

Any portion of the Mortgage Files retained by the Company shall be appropriately identified in the Company's computer system to clearly reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser. The Company shall release its custody of the contents of the Mortgage Files only in accordance with written instructions of the Purchaser, except when such release is required as incidental to the Company's servicing of the Mortgage Loans or is in connection with a repurchase of any Mortgage Loan or Loans with respect thereto pursuant to this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, such written instructions shall not be required.

Section 2.05Books and Records.

The Purchaser may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, sell and transfer one or more of the Mortgage Loans, provided, however, that the transferee will not be deemed to be a Purchaser hereunder binding upon the Company unless such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and an original counterpart of the instrument of transfer in an Assignment and Assumption of this Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto executed by the transferee shall have been delivered to the Company. The Purchaser also shall advise the Company of the transfer.

In the event that documents have not been received by the date specified in the Company's Officer's Certificate, a subsequent Company's Officer's Certificate shall be delivered by such date specified in the prior Company's Officer's Certificate, stating a revised date for receipt of documentation. The procedure shall be repeated until the documents have been received and delivered. If delivery is not completed within 180 days solely due to delays in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Company shall continue to use its best efforts to effect delivery as soon as possible thereafter, provided that if such documents are not delivered by the 270th day from the date of the related Closing Date, the Company shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loans at the Repurchase Price in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof.

If the Purchaser or its designee discovers any defect with respect to a Mortgage File, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designee to, give written specification of such defect to the Company which may be given in the exception report or the certification delivered pursuant to this Section 2.07, or otherwise in writing and the Company shall cure or repurchase such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 3.03.

The Company shall forward to the Purchaser, or its designee, original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with Section 4.01 or 6.01 within one week of their execution; provided, however, that the Company shall provide the Purchaser, or its designee, with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within one week of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within sixty (60) days of its submission for recordation.

From time to time the Company may have a need for Mortgage Loan Documents to be released from Purchaser, or its designee. Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designee, upon the written request of the Company, within ten (10) Business Days, deliver to the Company, any requested documentation previously delivered to Purchaser as part of the Mortgage File, provided that such documentation is promptly returned to Purchaser, or its designee, when the Company no longer requires possession of the document, and provided that during the time that any such documentation is held by the Company, such possession is in trust for the benefit of Purchaser.

Section 2.08Quality Control Procedures.

The Company must have an internal quality control program that verifies, on a regular basis, the existence and accuracy of the legal documents, credit documents, property appraisals, and underwriting decisions. The program must be capable of evaluating and monitoring the overall quality of its loan production and servicing activities. The program is to ensure that the Mortgage Loans are originated and serviced in accordance with prudent mortgage banking practices and accounting principles; guard against dishonest, fraudulent, or negligent acts; and guard against errors and omissions by officers, employees, or other authorized persons.

(e) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of or compliance by the Company with this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, or the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Purchaser or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, except for consents, approvals, authorizations and orders which have been obtained;

(f) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the related Term Sheet is in the ordinary course of business of the Company and Company, and the transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or the related Term Sheet are not subject to bulk transfer or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction;

(g) The origination and servicing practices used by the Company and any prior originator or servicer with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been legal and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and the Mortgage Loan Documents, and in all material respects proper and prudent in the mortgage origination and servicing business. Each Mortgage Loan has been serviced in all material respects with Accepted Servicing Practices. With respect to escrow deposits and payments that the Company, on behalf of an investor, is entitled to collect, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Company, and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All escrow payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law and the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage. As to any Mortgage Loan that is the subject of an escrow, escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every escrowed item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable.

(h) The Company used no selection procedures that identified the Mortgage Loans as being less desirable or valuable than other comparable mortgage loans in the Company's portfolio at the related Cut-off Date;

(k)The Company does not believe, nor does it have any cause or reason to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in this Agreement or the related Term Sheet. The Company is solvent and the sale of the Mortgage Loans will not cause the Company to become insolvent. The sale of the Mortgage Loans is not undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of the Company's creditors;

(l)No statement, tape, diskette, form, report or other document prepared by, or on behalf of, Company pursuant to this Agreement or the related Term Sheet or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, contains or will contain any statement that is or will be inaccurate or misleading in any material respect;

(m) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Servicing Fee represents reasonable compensation for performing such services and that the entire Servicing Fee shall be treated by the Company, for accounting and tax purposes, as compensation for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement. In the opinion of Company, the consideration received by Company upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser under this Agreement and the related Term Sheet constitutes fair consideration for the Mortgage Loans under current market conditions.

(n) Company has delivered to the Purchaser financial statements of its parent, for its last two complete fiscal years. All such financial information fairly presents the pertinent results of operations and financial position for the period identified and has been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved, except as set forth in the notes thereto.

Section 3.02Representations and Warranties as to Individual Mortgage Loans.

References in this Section to percentages of Mortgage Loans refer in each case to the percentage of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the related Cut-off Date, based on the outstanding Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans as of the related Cut-off Date, and giving effect to scheduled Monthly Payments due on or prior to the related Cut-off Date, whether or not received. References to percentages of Mortgaged Properties refer, in each case, to the percentages of expected aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans (determined as described in the preceding sentence). The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as to each Mortgage Loan, as of the related Closing Date as follows:

(a) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the related Term Sheet is true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the related Cut-Off Date;

(b)The Mortgage creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien or a first priority ownership interest in an estate in fee simple in real property securing the related Mortgage Note subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors;

(c) All payments due prior to the related Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan have been made as of the related Closing Date; the Mortgage Loan has not been dishonored; there are no material defaults under the terms of the Mortgage Loan; the Company has not advanced its own funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Loan. As of the related Closing Date, all of the Mortgage Loans will have an actual Interest Paid to Date of their related Cut-off Date(or later) and will be due for the scheduled monthly payment next succeeding the Cut-off Date (or later), as evidenced by a posting to Company's servicing collection system. No payment under any Mortgage Loan is delinquent as of the related Closing Date nor has any scheduled payment been delinquent at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the month of the related Closing Date. For purposes of this paragraph, a Mortgage Loan will be deemed delinquent if any payment due thereunder was not paid by the Mortgagor in the month such payment was due;

(d) There are no defaults by Company in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable;

(e) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which have been recorded to the extent any such recordation is required by law, or, necessary to protect the interest of the Purchaser. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed except in connection with a modification agreement and which modification agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms thereof except in connection with an assumption agreement and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and title insurance policy, to the extent required by the related policies;

(f) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto; and as of the related Closing Date the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding;

(g) All buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable under the Fannie Mae or FHLMC Guides, against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided for in the Fannie Mae or FHLMC Guide, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. All such standard hazard policies are in full force and effect and contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Company and its successors in interest and assigns as loss payee and such clause is still in effect and all premiums due thereon have been paid. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration which policy conforms to Fannie Mae or FHLMC requirements, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. Such policy was issued by an insurer acceptable under Fannie Mae or FHLMC guidelines. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Neither the Company (nor any prior originator or servicer of any of the Mortgage Loans) nor any Mortgagor has engaged in any act or omission which has impaired or would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either;

(h) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with in all material respects; the Company maintains, and shall maintain, evidence of such compliance as required by applicable law or regulation and shall make such evidence available for inspection at the Company's office during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice;

(i) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled or subordinated, in whole or in part, or rescinded, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Company has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Company waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;

(j)The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems affixed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing securing the Mortgage Note's original principal balance subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors. The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note do not contain any evidence of any security interest or other interest or right thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage subject only to (1) the lien of non-delinquent current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and either (A) which are referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan, or (B) which do not adversely affect the residential use or Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal, and (3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not individually or in the aggregate materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein, and the Company has the full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser;

(k) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors, and the Company has taken all action necessary to transfer such rights of enforceability to the Purchaser. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. The Mortgage Loan Documents are on forms acceptable to Fannie Mae and FHLMC. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of Company or the Mortgagor, or on the part of any other party involved in the origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;

(l) The Company is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser, the Company will retain the Mortgage File or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee in trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of the Mortgage Loan. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the Purchaser, the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, were not subject to an assignment, sale or pledge to any person other than Purchaser, and the Company had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner thereof and had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest and has the full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign the Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of the Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. The Company intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan, except for the purposes of servicing the Mortgage Loan as set forth in this Agreement. After the related Closing Date, the Company will not have any right to modify or alter the terms of the sale of the Mortgage Loan and the Company will not have any obligation or right to repurchase the Mortgage Loan or substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to by the Company and the Purchaser;

(m) Each Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC (including adjustable rate endorsements), issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (j)(1), (2) and (3) above) the Company, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. The Company, its successors and assigns, is the sole insured of such lender's title insurance policy, such title insurance policy has been duly and validly endorsed to the Purchaser or the assignment to the Purchaser of the Company's interest therein does not require the consent of or notification to the insurer and such lender's title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including the Company, nor any Mortgagor, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;

(n) There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration; and neither the Company, nor any prior mortgagee has waived any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration;

(o) There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage;

(p) All improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly within the project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in clause (m) above and all improvements on the property comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances;

(q) Each Mortgage Loan was originated by or for the Company pursuant to, and conforms with, the Company’s underwriting guidelines attached as Exhibit H hereto. The Mortgage Loan bears interest at an adjustable rate (if applicable) as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and Monthly Payments under the Mortgage Note are due and payable on the first day of each month. The Mortgage contains the usual and enforceable provisions of the Company at the time of origination for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder;

(r) The Mortgaged Property is not subject to any material damage. At origination of the Mortgage Loan there was not, since origination of the Mortgage Loan there has not been, and there currently is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. The Company has not received notification that any such proceedings are scheduled to commence at a future date;

(s) The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (1) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (2) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage;

(t) If the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified if required under applicable law to act as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses, except as may be required by local law, are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale or attempted sale after default by the Mortgagor;

(u) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the final approval of the mortgage loan application by a Qualified Appraiser, approved by the Company, who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Fannie Mae or FHLMC and Title XI of the Federal Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated. The appraisal is in a form acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC;

(v) All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (A) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (B) (1) organized under the laws of such state, or (2) qualified to do business in such state, or (3) federal savings and loan associations or national banks or a Federal Home Loan Bank or savings bank having principal offices in such state, or (4) not doing business in such state;

(w) The related Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to above and such collateral does not serve as security for any other obligation;

(x) The Mortgagor has received and has executed, where applicable, all disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to the making of such mortgage loans;

(y) The Mortgage Loan does not contain balloon or "graduated payment" features; No Mortgage Loan is subject to a buydown agreement or contains any buydown provision;

(z) The Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy and, the Mortgagor is not insolvent and the Company has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit standing that could reasonably be expected to cause investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or materially adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan;

(aa) Each Mortgage Loan bears interest based upon a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred and sixty (360) day year. The Mortgage Loans have an original term to maturity of not more than thirty (30) years, with interest payable in arrears on the first day of each month. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, on each applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate will be adjusted to equal the sum of the Index, plus the applicable Margin; provided, that the Mortgage Interest Rate, on each applicable Adjustment Date, will not increase by more than the Initial Rate Cap or Periodic Rate Cap, as applicable. Over the term of each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Interest Rate will not exceed such Mortgage Loan's Lifetime Rate Cap. None of the Mortgage Loans are “interest-only” Mortgage Loans or “negative amortization” Mortgage Loans. With the respect to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, each Mort-gage Note requires a monthly payment which is suffi-cient (a) during the period prior to the first adjust-ment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, and (b) during the period following each Adjust-ment Date, to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such period over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. With the respect to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note provides that when the Mortgage Interest Rate changes on an Adjustment Date, the then outstanding principal balance will be reamortized over the remaining life of the Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provi-sions which would result in negative amortization. None of the Mortgage Loans contain a conversion feature which would cause the Mortgage Loan interest rate to convert to a fixed interest rate. None of the Mortgage Loans are considered agricultural loans;

No Mortgage Loan requires payment of such premiums, in whole or in part, by the Purchaser. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, subject to state and federal law, and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Company to maintain the Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith.

(ii)The Assignment is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;

(jj)Unless otherwise specified in the related Term Sheet, none of the Mortgage Loans are secured by an interest in a leasehold estate.

Any condominium unit or planned unit development conforms with the Company’s underwriting guidelines. As of the date of origination, no portion of any Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes, and since the Origination Date, no portion of any Mortgaged Property has been, or currently is, used for commercial purposes;

(kk)Payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after the funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan.

(mm)There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; there is no violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgaged Property; and the Company has not received any notice of any environmental hazard on the Mortgaged Property and nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property;

(nn)The Mortgagor has not notified the Company, and the Company has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940;

(oo) No Mortgage Loan is a construction or rehabilitation Mortgage Loan or was made to facilitate the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property;

(pp)The Mortgagor for each Mortgage Loan is a natural person;

(qq)None of the Mortgage Loans are Co-op Loans;

(rr) With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a prepayment penalty feature, each such prepayment penalty is enforceable and will be enforced by the Company and each prepayment penalty is permitted pursuant to federal, state and local law. No Mortgage Loan will impose a prepayment penalty for a term in excess of five years from the date such Mortgage Loan was originated. Except as otherwise set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that contains a prepayment penalty, such prepayment penalty is at least equal to the lesser of (A) the maximum amount permitted under applicable law and (B) six months interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate on the amount prepaid in excess of 20% of the original principal balance of such Mortgage Loan;

(ss) With respect to each Mortgage Loan either (i) the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property securing such Mortgage Loan was at least equal to 80 percent of the original principal balance of such Mortgage Loan at the time such Mortgage Loan was originated or (ii) (a) the Mortgage Loan is only secured by the Mortgage Property and (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire or to improve or protect the Mortgage Property.

(ww) Each Mortgage Note, each Mortgage, each Assignment and any other documents required pursuant to this Agreement to be delivered to the Purchaser or its designee, or its assignee for each Mortgage Loan, have been, on or before the related Closing Date, delivered to the Purchaser or its designee, or its assignee.

Section 3.03Repurchase; Substitution.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery of the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Purchaser, or its designee, and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination, or lack of examination, of any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by either the Company or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. The Company shall have a period of sixty (60) days from the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such breach within which to correct or cure such breach. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that if any such breach is not corrected or cured within such sixty day period, the Company shall, at the Purchaser's option and not later than ninety (90) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of such breach, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price or, with the Purchaser's prior consent and at Purchaser’s sole option, substitute a Mortgage Loan as provided below. In the event that any such breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01, and such breach is not cured within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company of such breach, all Mortgage Loans shall, at the option of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Company at the Repurchase Price. Any such repurchase shall be accomplished by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Purchaser in the amount of the Repurchase Price.

If the Company is required to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Company may, with the Purchaser's prior consent and at Purchaser’s sole option, within ninety (90) days from the related Closing Date, remove such defective Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and substitute another mortgage loan for such defective Mortgage Loan, in lieu of repurchasing such defective Mortgage Loan. Any substitute Mortgage Loan is subject to Purchaser acceptability. Any substituted Loans will comply with the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement as of the substitution date

The Company shall amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the removed Mortgage Loan from this Agreement and the substitution of such substitute Mortgage Loan therefor. Upon such amendment, the Purchaser shall review the Mortgage File delivered to it relating to the substitute Mortgage Loan. In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Purchaser and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Company. The principal payment on a substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the Company and the principal payment on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on such date shall be the property of the Purchaser.

It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Company set forth in this Section 3.03 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan, and to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. If the Company fails to repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.03, or fails to cure a defective Mortgage Loan to Purchaser's reasonable satisfaction in accordance with this Section 3.03, or to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, that failure shall be an Event of Default and the Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue all remedies available in this Agreement as a result thereof. No provision of this paragraph shall affect the rights of the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement for cause, as set forth in Sections 10.01 and 11.01.

Any cause of action against the Company relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) the earlier of discovery of such breach by the Company or notice thereof by the Purchaser to the Company, (ii) failure by the Company to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Company by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.

In the event that any Mortgage Loan is held by a REMIC, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or as to which no default is imminent, no substitution pursuant to Subsection 3.03 shall be made after the applicable REMIC's "start up day" (as defined in Section 860G(a) (9) of the Code), unless the Company has obtained an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of such REMIC (as defined in Section 860F of the Code) or otherwise subject the REMIC to tax, or (ii) cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 4.01Company to Act as Servicer.

The Company, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and with Accepted Servicing Practices, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Company may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and with Accepted Servicing Practices and exercise the same care that it customarily employs for its own account. Except as set forth in this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, the Company shall service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides (special servicing option), which include, but are not limited to, provisions regarding the liquidation of Mortgage Loans, the collection of Mortgage Loan payments, the payment of taxes, insurance and other charges, the maintenance of hazard insurance with a Qualified Insurer, the maintenance of mortgage impairment insurance, the maintenance of fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance, inspections, the restoration of Mortgaged Property, the maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, insurance claims, the title, management and disposition of REO Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property, the transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Files, annual statements, and examination of records and facilities. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing provisions of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and any of the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides, the provisions of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet shall control and be binding upon the Purchaser and the Company.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, the Company may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Company's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Purchaser, provided, however, that unless the Company has obtained the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Company shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer for more than ninety days or forgive any payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such modification which has been agreed to in writing by the Purchaser and which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Company shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 4.04, the difference between (a) such month's principal and one month's interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Company shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances pursuant to Section 4.05. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may not enter into a forbearance agreement or similar arrangement with respect to any Mortgage Loan which runs more than 180 days after the first delinquent Due Date. Any such agreement shall be approved by Purchaser and, if required, by the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy insurer and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy insurer, if required.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Mortgage Loan becomes subject to a Pass-Through Transfer, the Company (a) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, shall not permit any modification with respect to such Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate and (b) shall not (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to such Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Company, reasonably foreseeable) make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of such Mortgage Loan that would both (i) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (ii) cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contriburions” after the startup date under the REMIC Provisions.

Prior to taking any action with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject to a Pass-Through Transfer, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Company will obtain an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the trustee in such Pass-Through Transfer with respect to whether such action could result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (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”), and the Company shall not take any such actions as to which it has been advised that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.

The Company shall not permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in any REMIC. The Company shall not enter into any arrangement by which a REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit a 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.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Company shall employ Accepted Servicing Practices, giving due consideration to the Purchaser's reliance on the Company. Unless a different time period is stated in this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, Purchaser shall be deemed to have given consent in connection with a particular matter if Purchaser does not affirmatively grant or deny consent within five (5) Business Days from the date Purchaser receives a second written request for consent for such matter from Company as servicer.

The Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by a Subservicer on behalf of the Company provided that the Subservicer is an entity that engages in the business of servicing loans, and in either case shall be authorized to transact business, and licensed to service mortgage loans, in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Subservicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Subservicing Agreement, and in either case shall be a FHLMC or Fannie Mae approved mortgage servicer in good standing, and no event has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage, which would make it unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for lenders imposed by Fannie Mae or for seller/servicers imposed by Fannie Mae or FHLMC, or which would require notification to Fannie Mae or FHLMC. In addition, each Subservicer will obtain and preserve its qualifications to do business as a foreign corporation and its licenses to service mortgage loans, in each jurisdiction in which such qualifications and/or licenses are or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform or cause to be performed its duties under the related Subservicing Agreement. The Company may perform any of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause the Subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Company of the Subservicer shall not release the Company from any of its obligations hereunder and the Company shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of the Subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses of the Subservicer from its own funds, and the Subservicer's fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee. Company shall notify Purchaser promptly in writing upon the appointment of any Subservicer.

At the cost and expense of the Company, without any right of reimbursement from the Custodial Account, the Company shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor subservicer meeting the requirements in the preceding paragraph, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Company, at the Company's option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the Company's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 4.13, 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01 and if requested to do so by the Purchaser, the Company shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer effective as of the date of termination of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer from the Company's own funds without reimbursement from the Purchaser.

Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Company and the Subservicer or any reference herein to actions taken through the Subservicer or otherwise, the Company shall not be relieved of its obligations to the Purchaser and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Company shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with the Subservicer for indemnification of the Company by the Subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. The Company will indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any loss, liability or expense arising out of its use of a Subservicer to perform any of its servicing duties, responsibilities and obligations hereunder.

Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving the Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and Company alone, and the Purchaser shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of Purchaser to pay the Subservicer's fees and expenses. For purposes of distributions and advances by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when the Subservicer has received such payment.

Section 4.02Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the Company will proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, Accepted Servicing Practices, and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Further, the Company will take special care in ascertaining and estimating annual escrow payments, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable, so that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

In no event will the Company waive its right to any prepayment penalty or premium without the prior written consent of Purchaser and Company will use diligent efforts to collect same when due except as otherwise provided in the prepayment penalty rider to the Mortgage.

Section 4.03Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage

The Company shall use its best efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Company would use in servicing loans for its own account, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and the best interest of Purchaser, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans 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 4.01. Foreclosure or comparable proceedings shall be initiated or a notice of default sent within ninety (90) days of default for Mortgaged Properties for which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, subject to state and federal law and regulation. The Company shall use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Purchaser, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Company shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Company through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. Company shall obtain prior approval of Purchaser as to repair or restoration expenses in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). The Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings. The Company shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings or functions; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Company has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector at the Purchaser's expense. Upon completion of the inspection, the Company shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Purchaser shall determine how the Company shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser's sole option, terminate the Company as servicer of any Mortgage Loan which becomes ninety (90) days or greater delinquent in payment of a scheduled Monthly Payment, without payment of any termination fee with respect thereto, provided that the Company shall on the date said termination takes effect be reimbursed for any unreimbursed advances of the Company's funds made pursuant to Section 5.03 and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees in each case relating to the Mortgage Loan underlying such delinquent Mortgage Loan notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.05. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof shall apply to said termination and the transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect to such delinquent Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser or its designee.

In the event that a Mortgage Loan becomes part of a REMIC, and becomes REO Property, such property shall be disposed of by the Company, with the consent of Purchaser as required pursuant to this Agreement, before the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, unless the Company provides to the trustee under such REMIC an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the transaction to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that certificates are outstanding. Company shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each such REO Property for the certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(E) of the Code, or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC provisions of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such property, the Company shall either itself or through an agent selected by Company, protect and conserve such property in the same manner and to such an extent as is customary in the locality where such property is located.

Section 4.08Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of primary mortgage insurance premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Company in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Company shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Company assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

The Company will maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be terminated only with the approval of Purchaser, or as required by applicable law or regulation. The Company will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Company shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Company would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Company shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Company under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.09Transfer of Accounts.

The Company may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Eligible Account from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 4.10Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Company shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC and customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, each Mortgage Loan shall be covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in effect with an insurance carrier acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Company determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the Fannie Mae Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Company shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Company shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf. The Company shall also maintain on each REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts collected by the Company under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need be required by the Company of the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to this Agreement, the Fannie Mae Guides or such applicable state or federal laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Company and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount or material change in coverage to the Company. The Company shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Company shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are Qualified Insurers.

Section 4.11Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.

In the event that the Company shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Company shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Purchaser, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and shall use its best efforts to obtain a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Purchaser.

Section 4.12Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Company shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loan to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loan. The Fidelity Bond shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Company against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement and fraud of such persons. The errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Company against losses arising out of errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such errors and omissions insurance shall also protect and insure the Company against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond or errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Company from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Fannie Mae in the Fannie Mae Guides. Upon request by the Purchaser, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Purchaser. The Company shall notify the Purchaser within five (5) business days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. The Purchaser (or any party having the status of Purchaser hereunder) and any subsidiary thereof and their successors or assigns as their interests may appear must be named as loss payees on the Fidelity Bond and as additional insured on the errors and omissions policy. Upon request by Purchaser, Company shall provide Purchaser with an insurance certificate certifying coverage under this Section 4.12, and will provide an update to such certificate upon request, or upon renewal or material modification of coverage.

Section 4.13Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Purchaser or its designee, or in the event the Purchaser or its designee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the "doing business" or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an opinion of counsel obtained by the Company from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Purchaser.

The Company shall notify the Purchaser in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides of each acquisition of REO Property upon such acquisition (and, in any event, shall provide notice of the consummation of any foreclosure sale within three (3) Business Days of the date Company receives notice of such consummation), together with a copy of the drive by appraisal or brokers price opinion of the Mortgaged Property obtained in connection with such acquisition, and thereafter assume the responsibility for marketing such REO property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Company shall continue to provide certain administrative services to the Purchaser relating to such REO Property as set forth in this Section 4.13. The fee for such administrative services shall be $2,000 to be paid upon liquidation of the REO Property. No Servicing Fee shall be assessed or otherwise accrue on any REO Property from and after the date on which it becomes an REO Property.

The Company shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Company, and in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Company shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least monthly thereafter or more frequently as required by the circumstances. The Company shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Company to the Purchaser.

The Company shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Company determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Purchaser to such effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a longer period than one (1) year is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Company shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property. No REO Property shall be marketed for less than the Appraised Value, without the prior consent of Purchaser. No REO Property shall be sold for less than ninety five percent (95%) of its Appraised Value, without the prior consent of Purchaser. All requests for reimbursement of Servicing Advances shall be in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides. The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Company at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Company deems to be in the best interests of the Purchaser (subject to the above conditions) only with the prior written consent of the Purchaser. Company shall provide monthly reports to Purchaser in reference to the status of the marketing of the REO Properties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser's sole option, terminate the Company as servicer of any such REO Property without payment of any termination fee with respect thereto, provided that the Company shall on the date said termination takes effect be reimbursed for any unreimbursed advances of the Company's funds made pursuant to Section 5.03 and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees in each case relating to the Mortgage Loan underlying such REO Property notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.05. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof shall apply to said termination and the transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect to such REO Property to the Purchaser or its designee. Within five Business Days of any such termination, the Company shall, if necessary convey such property to the Purchaser and shall further provide the Purchaser with the following information regarding the subject REO Property: the related drive by appraisal or brokers price opinion, and copies of any related Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy claims. In addition, within five Business Days, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with the following information regarding the subject REO Property: the related trustee’s deed upon sale and copies of any related hazard insurance claims, or repair bids.

Section 4.14Notification of Maturity Date.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Mortgagor any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the maturity date if required under applicable law.

Such interest shall cover the period commencing with the day following the Business Day such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made to the Purchaser, both inclusive.

Section 5.02Statements to the Purchaser.

The Company shall furnish to Purchaser an individual loan accounting report, as of the last Business Day of each month, in the Company's assigned loan number order to document Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual Mortgage Loan basis. With respect to each month, the corresponding individual loan accounting report shall be received by the Purchaser no later than the fifth Business Day of the following month on a disk or tape or other computer-readable format in such format as may be mutually agreed upon by both Purchaser and Company, and no later than the fifth Business Day of the following month in hard copy, and shall contain the following:

ARTICLE VI

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

Section 6.01Assumption Agreements.

The Company will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Company shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Company reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, the Company, with the approval of the Purchaser, will enter into an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 6.01, the Company, with the prior consent of the Purchaser and the primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement.

In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the Company. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the amount of the Monthly Payment and the maturity date may not be changed (except pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note). If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Company diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan. The Company shall notify the Purchaser that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Purchaser the original of any such substitution of liability 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. All fees collected by the Company for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Company may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 6.01, 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 6.02Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Company of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Company will immediately notify the Purchaser by a certification, 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 Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04 have been or will be so deposited, of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall no later than five Business Days after receipt of such certification and request, release or cause to be released to the Company, the related Mortgage Loan Documents and, upon its receipt of such documents, the Company shall promptly prepare and deliver to the Purchaser the requisite satisfaction or release. No later than five (5) Business Days following its receipt of such satisfaction or release, the Purchaser shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Company the release or satisfaction properly executed by the owner of record of the applicable mortgage or its duly appointed attorney in fact. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account.

In the event the Company satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, the Company, upon written demand, shall remit within two (2) Business Days to the Purchaser the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Company shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance insuring the Company against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loan, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the Purchaser shall, upon request of the Company and delivery to the Purchaser of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser to the Company. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Company to return the related Mortgage documents to the Purchaser when the need therefor by the Company no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or the 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 Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Company has delivered to the Purchaser 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 a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Purchaser to the Company.

Section 6.03Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account (to the extent of interest payments collected on the Mortgage Loans) or to retain from interest payments collected on the Mortgage Loans, the amounts provided for as the Company's Servicing Fee, subject to payment of compensating interest on Principal Prepayments as capped by the Servicing Fee pursuant to Section 5.01 (iii). Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 6.01, and late payment charges or otherwise shall be retained by the Company to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. No Servicing Fee shall be payable in connection with partial Monthly Payments. The Company shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for.

Section 6.04Annual Statement as to Compliance.

The Company will deliver to the Purchaser not later than 90 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Company beginning in March 2002, an Officers' Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Company during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Company has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officers and the nature and status of cure provisions thereof. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Company to the Purchaser upon request.

Section 6.05Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants' Servicing Report.

Within ninety (90) days of Company's fiscal year end beginning in March 2002 the Company at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Purchaser to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the Company's servicing of mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans pursuant to servicing agreements substantially similar to this Agreement, which agreements may include this Agreement, and that, on the basis of such an examination, conducted substantially in the uniform single audit program for mortgage bankers, such firm is of the opinion that the Company's servicing has been conducted in compliance with the agreements examined pursuant to this Section 6.05, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Company to the Purchaser. In addition, on an annual basis, Company shall provided Purchaser with copies of its audited financial statements.

Section 6.06Purchaser's Right to Examine Company Records.

The Purchaser shall have the right to examine and audit upon reasonable notice to the Company, during business hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under applicable circumstances, any and all of the books, records, documentation or other information of the Company, or held by another for the Company or on its behalf or otherwise, which relates to the performance or observance by the Company of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement.

The Company shall provide to the Purchaser and any supervisory agents or examiners representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Purchaser, including but not limited to FDIC and other similar entities, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in the possession of the Company which may be required by any applicable regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, upon reasonable request, during normal business hours and at the offices of the Company, and in accordance with the federal government, FDIC, or any other similar regulations.

Section 8.01Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

The Company agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Company to observe and perform its duties, obligations, covenants, and agreements to service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 or 3.02 of this Agreement.

The Company shall follow any written instructions received from the Purchaser in connection with such claim.

The provisions of this Section 8.01 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

The Company will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation except as permitted herein, and 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, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Any Person into which the Company may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Company shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Company whether or not related to loan servicing, shall be the successor of the Company 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 shall be an institution (i) having a GAAP net worth of not less than $25,000,000, (ii) the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC and/or BIF, and which is a HUD-approved mortgagee whose primary business is in origination and servicing of first lien mortgage loans, and (iii) who is a Fannie Mae or FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing; provided, further, however, that the Company shall give sixty (60) days written notice to the Purchaser of any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Company shall be a party, or of any Person succeeding to the business of the Company, and the Purchaser, at it sole option, shall make the determination as to whether such successor of the Company shall continue to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder.

Section 8.03Limitation on Liability of the Company and Others.

Neither the Company nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Company shall be under any liability to the Purchaser 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 made in good faith; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Company or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in strict compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Company and any officer, employee or agent of the Company may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by the Purchaser respecting any matters arising hereunder.

Section 8.04Company Not to Assign or Resign.

The Company shall not assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Company and the Purchaser or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Company. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Company shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Purchaser which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Purchaser. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Company's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 11.01.

Section 8.05No Transfer of Servicing.

On or after the receipt by the Company of such written notice (or, in the case of an Event of Default under clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) above, in which case, automatically and without notice), all authority and power of the Company under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 11.01. Upon written request from the Purchaser, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor's possession all Mortgage Files, and 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, at the Company's sole expense. The Company agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting the termination of the Company's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Company to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.

Section 9.02Waiver of Defaults.

The Purchaser may waive only by written notice any default by the Company in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived in writing.

(ii)Any failure by the Company, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any information, report, certification or accountants’ letter when and as required under Section 4 or 5, including any failure by the Company to identify pursuant to Section 6(b) any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, which continues unremedied for ten calendar days after the date of written notice from the Master Servicer shall constitute an Event of Default (notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement to the contrary) with respect to the Company under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement, and shall entitle the Purchaser, any Master Servicer or any Depositor, as applicable, in its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Company as servicer under this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Company except for reimbursing the Company for any servicing advances that the Company actually made as servicer pursuant to this Agreement and rights arising prior to such termination; provided that to the extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Company as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.

(iii)The Company shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser (or any designee of the Purchaser, such as a master servicer) and any Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Purchaser (or such designee) or such Depositor, as such are incurred, in connection with the termination of the Company as servicer and the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer. The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit whatever rights the Purchaser or any Depositor may have under other provisions of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.

(c)Notification and Cooperation. The parties hereto further agree, and any Indemnified Party not a party hereto is deemed to agree, as a condition to its reliance on such indemnification, that the Company’s indemnification obligations under this Section 7 are subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i)An Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder shall give written notice to the Company within a reasonable time after the Indemnified Party receives notice of an indemnifiable claim provided that failure to give such notice within a reasonable time shall not invalidate the Company’s obligations to indemnify such Indemnified Party except if, and then only to the extent that, such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party or its ability to defend such claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the burden of proving such material prejudice;

(ii)The Company shall undertake the defense of the action or claim with counsel or other representatives of its own choosing and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party (which counsel shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, be counsel to the Indemnifying Party);

(iii)The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate and assist in, but not control, the defense of such claim and employ separate counsel in any action or claim, at the expense of the Indemnified Party (i.e., at its own expense), provided that if the interests of the Company and the Indemnified Party diverge, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to separate counsel at the Company’s expense, provided such expense is reasonable; and

(iv)The Company shall not settle or compromise any claim suit or action against the Indemnified Party without the express prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

(d)Exclusive Remedy. Except for remedies under the Agreement and remedies that cannot be waived as a matter of law and injunctive relief, the rights under this Section 7 shall be the exclusive remedy for breaches of this Section 7 (including any covenant, obligation, representation or warranty contained herein or therein).

(e)Limitations.Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Company be obligated under this Section 7 to indemnify an Indemnified Party otherwise entitled to indemnity hereunder in respect of any indemnifiable claims or losses to the extent that such claims or losses result directly from the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligent acts of the Indemnified Party.

(f)The parties hereto agree that any written notice under this Section 7 may be made via email.

Section 8 Third Party Beneficiary.

For purposes of this Article I and any related provisions thereto, each Master Servicer shall be considered a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, entitled to all the rights and benefits hereof as if it were a direct party to this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Seller and the Purchaser have caused this Amendment to be executed and delivered by their duly authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

In addition to the Purchase Price as described above, the Purchaser shall pay to the Company, at closing, accrued interest on the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-off Date at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate of each Mortgage Loan from the related Cut-off Date through the day prior to the related Closing Date, inclusive.

Company will deliver the Mortgage Files to the Custodian designated by Purchaser, on or before the related Closing Date, at the expense of the Company. The Company shall maintain a Servicing File consisting of a copy of the contents of each Mortgage File and the originals of the documents in each Mortgage File not delivered to the Purchaser. The Servicing File shall contain all documents necessary to service the Mortgage Loans. The possession of each Servicing File by the Company is at the will of the Purchaser, for the sole purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan, and such retention and possession by the Company is in a custodial capacity only. From the related Closing Date, the ownership of each Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the contents of the related Mortgage File and all rights, benefits, proceeds and obligations arising therefrom or in connection therewith, has been vested in the Purchaser. All rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans including, but not limited to, all funds received on or in connection with the Mortgage Loans and all records or documents with respect to the Mortgage Loans prepared by or which come into the possession of the Company shall be received and held by the Company in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser as the owner of the Mortgage Loans.

The Purchaser may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, sell and transfer one or more of the Mortgage Loans, provided, however, that the transferee will not be deemed to be a Purchaser hereunder binding upon the Company unless such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and an original counterpart of the instrument of transfer in an Assignment and Assumption of this Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto executed by the transferee shall have been delivered to the Company. The Purchaser also shall advise the Company of the transfer. Upon receipt of notice of the transfer, the Company shall mark its books and records to reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans of such assignee, and the previous Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans sold or transferred, except with respect to any liabilities, claims and/or obligations that arose as a result of the Purchaser’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans during its period of ownership.

If delivery is not completed within 180 days solely due to delays in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, Company shall deliver such document to Purchaser, or its designee, within such time period as specified in a Company's Officer's Certificate. In the event that documents have not been received by the date specified in the Company's Officer's Certificate, a subsequent Company's Officer's Certificate shall be delivered by such date specified in the prior Company's Officer's Certificate, stating a revised date for receipt of documentation. The procedure shall be repeated until the documents have been received and delivered. If delivery is not completed within 180 days solely due to delays in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Company shall continue to use its best efforts to effect delivery as soon as possible thereafter, provided that if such documents are not delivered by the 360th day from the date of the related Closing Date, upon the Purchaser’s request, the Company shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loans at the Repurchase Price in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof.

If the Purchaser or its designee discovers any defect with respect to a Mortgage File, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designee to, give written specification of such defect to the Company which may be given in the exception report or the certification delivered pursuant to this Section 2.07, or otherwise in writing and the Company shall cure or repurchase such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 3.03.

The Company shall forward to the Purchaser, or its designee, original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with Section 4.01 or 6.01 within one week of their execution; provided, however, that the Company shall provide the Purchaser, or its designee, with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within one week of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within sixty (60) days of its submission for recordation.

From time to time the Company may have a need for Mortgage Loan Documents to be released from Purchaser, or its designee. Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designee, upon the written request of the Company, within ten (10) Business Days, deliver to the Company, any requested documentation previously delivered to Purchaser as part of the Mortgage File, provided that such documentation is promptly returned to Purchaser, or its designee, when the Company no longer requires possession of the document, and provided that during the time that any such documentation is held by the Company, such possession is in trust for the benefit of Purchaser.

(e) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of or compliance by the Company with this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, or the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Purchaser or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, except for consents, approvals, authorizations and orders which have been obtained;

With respect to escrow deposits and payments that the Company, on behalf of an investor, is entitled to collect, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Company, and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All escrow payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law and the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage.

(a) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the related Term Sheet is true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the related Cut-Off Date;

(b)The Mortgage creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien or a first priority ownership interest in an estate in fee simple in real property securing the related Mortgage Note subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors;

(c) All payments due prior to the related Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan have been made as of the related Closing Date; the Mortgage Loan has not been dishonored; there are no material defaults under the terms of the Mortgage Loan; the Company has not advanced its own funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Loan. As of the related Closing Date, all of the Mortgage Loans will have an actual Interest Paid to Date of their related Cut-off Date (or later) and will be due for the scheduled monthly payment next succeeding the Cut-off Date (or later), as evidenced by a posting to Company's servicing collection system. No payment under any Mortgage Loan is delinquent as of the related Closing Date nor has any scheduled payment been more than 1X30 days delinquent at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the month of the related Closing Date. For purposes of this paragraph, a Mortgage Loan will be deemed delinquent if any payment due thereunder was not paid by the Mortgagor in the month such payment was due;

(d) There are no defaults by Company in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable;

(e) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which have been recorded to the extent any such recordation is required by law, or, necessary to protect the interest of the Purchaser. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed except in connection with a modification agreement and which modification agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms thereof except in connection with an assumption agreement and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy , Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and title insurance policy, to the extent required by the related policies;

(f) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto; and as of the related Closing Date the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding;

(g) All buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable under the Fannie Mae or FHLMC Guides, against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided for in the Fannie Mae or FHLMC Guide, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. All such standard hazard policies are in full force and effect and contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Company and its successors in interest and assigns as loss payee and such clause is still in effect and all premiums due thereon have been paid. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration which policy conforms to Fannie Mae or FHLMC requirements, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. Such policy was issued by an insurer acceptable under Fannie Mae or FHLMC guidelines. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Neither the Company (nor any prior originator or servicer of any of the Mortgage Loans) nor any Mortgagor has engaged in any act or omission which has impaired or would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either;

(h) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with in all material respects; none of the Mortgage Loans are classified as a (a) a “high cost” loan under the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or (b) a “high cost”, “threshold”, or “predatory” loan under any other applicable state, federal or local law; the Company maintains, and shall maintain, evidence of such compliance as required by applicable law or regulation and shall make such evidence available for inspection at the Company's office during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice;

(i) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled or subordinated, in whole or in part, or rescinded, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Company has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Company waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;

(j)The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems affixed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing securing the Mortgage Note's original principal balance subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors. The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note do not contain any evidence of any security interest or other interest or right thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage subject only to (1) the lien of non-delinquent current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and either (A) which are referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan, or (B) which do not adversely affect the residential use or Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal, and (3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not individually or in the aggregate materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein, and the Company has the full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser;

(k) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors, and the Company has taken all action necessary to transfer such rights of enforceability to the Purchaser. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. The Mortgage Loan Documents are on forms acceptable to Fannie Mae and FHLMC. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of Company or the Mortgagor, or on the part of any other party involved in the origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;

(l) The Company is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser, the Company will retain the Mortgage File or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee in trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of the Mortgage Loan. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the Purchaser, the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, were not subject to an assignment, sale or pledge to any person other than Purchaser, and the Company had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner thereof and had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest and has the full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign the Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of the Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. The Company intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan, except for the purposes of servicing the Mortgage Loan as set forth in this Agreement. After the related Closing Date, the Company will not have any right to modify or alter the terms of the sale of the Mortgage Loan and the Company will not have any obligation or right to repurchase the Mortgage Loan or substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to by the Company and the Purchaser;

(m) Each Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC (including adjustable rate endorsements), issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (j)(1), (2) and (3) above) the Company, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. The Company, its successors and assigns, is the sole insured of such lender's title insurance policy, such title insurance policy has been duly and validly endorsed to the Purchaser or the assignment to the Purchaser of the Company's interest therein does not require the consent of or notification to the insurer and such lender's title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including the Company, nor any Mortgagor, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;

(n) There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration; and neither the Company, nor any prior mortgagee has waived any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration;

(o) There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage;

(p) All improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly within the project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in clause (m) above and all improvements on the property comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances;

(q) Each Mortgage Loan was originated by or for the Company pursuant to, and conforms with, the Company’s underwriting matrix attached as Exhibit H hereto. The Mortgage Loan bears interest at an adjustable rate (if applicable) as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and Monthly Payments under the Mortgage Note are due and payable on the first day of each month. The Mortgage contains the usual and enforceable provisions of the Company at the time of origination for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder;

(r) The Mortgaged Property is not subject to any material damage. At origination of the Mortgage Loan there was not, since origination of the Mortgage Loan there has not been, and there currently is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. The Company has not received notification that any such proceedings are scheduled to commence at a future date;

(s) The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (1) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (2) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage;

(t) If the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified if required under applicable law to act as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses, except as may be required by local law, are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale or attempted sale after default by the Mortgagor;

(u) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the final approval of the mortgage loan application by a Qualified Appraiser, approved by the Company, who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Fannie Mae or FHLMC and Title XI of the Federal Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated. The appraisal is in a form acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC;

(v) All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (A) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (B) (1) organized under the laws of such state, or (2) qualified to do business in such state, or (3) federal savings and loan associations or national banks or a Federal Home Loan Bank or savings bank having principal offices in such state, or (4) not doing business in such state;

(w) The related Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to above and such collateral does not serve as security for any other obligation;

(x) The Mortgagor has received and has executed, where applicable, all disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to the making of such mortgage loans;

(y) The Mortgage Loan does not contain balloon or "graduated payment" features; No Mortgage Loan is subject to a buydown agreement or contains any buydown provision;

(z) The Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy and, the Mortgagor is not insolvent and the Company has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit standing that could reasonably be expected to cause investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or materially adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan;

(aa) Each Mortgage Loan bears interest based upon a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred and sixty (360) day year. The Mortgage Loans have an original term to maturity of not more than thirty (30) years, with interest payable in arrears on the first day of each month. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, on each applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate will be adjusted to equal the sum of the Index, plus the applicable Margin; provided, that the Mortgage Interest Rate, on each applicable Adjustment Date, will not increase by more than the Initial Rate Cap or Periodic Rate Cap, as applicable. Over the term of each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Interest Rate will not exceed such Mortgage Loan's Lifetime Rate Cap. None of the Mortgage Loans are “interest-only” Mortgage Loans or “negative amortization” Mortgage Loans. With respect to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, each Mort-gage Note requires a monthly payment which is suffi-cient (a) during the period prior to the first adjust-ment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, and (b) during the period following each Adjust-ment Date, to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such period over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note provides that when the Mortgage Interest Rate changes on an Adjustment Date, the then outstanding principal balance will be reamortized over the remaining life of the Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provi-sions which would result in negative amortization. None of the Mortgage Loans contain a conversion feature which would cause the Mortgage Loan interest rate to convert to a fixed interest rate. None of the Mortgage Loans are considered agricultural loans;

(hh)In the event the Mortgage Loan had an LTV at origination greater than 80.00%, the excess of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan over 75.0% of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property with respect to a Refinanced Mortgage Loan, or the lesser of the Appraised Value or the purchase price of the Mortgaged Property with respect to a purchase money Mortgage Loan was insured as to payment defaults by a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV over 95%. All provisions of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No Mortgage Loan requires payment of such premiums, in whole or in part, by the Purchaser. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, subject to state and federal law, and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. No action has been taken or failed to be taken, on or prior to the Closing Date which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Company or the Mortgagor, or for any other reason under such coverage. The mortgage interest rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium.

Unless otherwise indicated on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, none of the Mortgage Loans are subject to “lender-paid” mortgage insurance. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Company to maintain the Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. Coverage with respect to each Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is that set forth in the related Confirmation. All provisions of such Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. No action has been taken or failed to be taken, on or prior to the Closing Date which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Company or the Mortgagor, or for any other reason under such coverage;

(ii)The Assignment is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;

(jj)None of the Mortgage Loans are secured by an interest in a leasehold estate. The Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a townhouse, or a two-to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development, provided, however, that no residence or dwelling is a single parcel of real property with a manufactured home not affixed to a permanent foundation, or a mobile home. Any condominium unit or planned unit development conforms with the Company’s underwriting guidelines. As of the date of origination, no portion of any Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes, and since the Origination Date, no portion of any Mortgaged Property has been, or currently is, used for commercial purposes;

(kk)Payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after the funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in monthly installments of principal and interest, which installments are subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears. Each of the Mortgage Loans will amortize fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than thirty years from commencement of amortization;

(ll)As of the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Property was lawfully occupied under applicable law, and all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities;

(mm)There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; there is no violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgaged Property; and the Company has not received any notice of any environmental hazard on the Mortgaged Property and nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property;

(nn)The Mortgagor has not notified the Company, and the Company has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940;

(oo) No Mortgage Loan is a construction or rehabilitation Mortgage Loan or was made to facilitate the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property;

(pp)The Mortgagor for each Mortgage Loan is a natural person;

(qq)None of the Mortgage Loans are Co-op Loans;

(rr) With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a prepayment penalty feature, each such prepayment penalty is enforceable and will be enforced by the Company and each prepayment penalty is permitted pursuant to federal, state and local law. No Mortgage Loan will impose a prepayment penalty for a term in excess of five years from the date such Mortgage Loan was originated. Except as otherwise set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that contains a prepayment penalty, such prepayment penalty is at least equal to the lesser of (A) the maximum amount permitted under applicable law and (B) six months interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate on the amount prepaid in excess of 20% of the original principal balance of such Mortgage Loan;

(ss) With respect to each Mortgage Loan either (i) the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property securing such Mortgage Loan was at least equal to 80 percent of the original principal balance of such Mortgage Loan at the time such Mortgage Loan was originated or (ii) (a) the Mortgage Loan is only secured by the Mortgage Property and (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire or to improve or protect the Mortgage Property. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, if the Mortgage Loan has been significantly modified other than as a result of a default or a reasonable foreseeable default, the modified Mortgage Loan will be viewed as having been originated on the date of the modification;

(tt) The Mortgage Loan was originated by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority;

(uu) None of the Mortgage Loans are simple interest Mortgage Loans and none of the Mortgaged Properties are timeshares;

(vv) All of the terms of the Mortgage pertaining to interest rate adjustments, payment adjustments and adjustments of the outstanding principal balance are enforceable, all such adjustments have been properly made, including the mailing of required notices, and such adjustments do not and will not affect the priority of the Mortgage lien. With respect to each Mortgage Loan which has passed its initial Adjustment Date, Company has performed an audit of the Mortgage Loan to determine whether all interest rate adjustments have been made in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage; and

(ww) Each Mortgage Note, each Mortgage, each Assignment and any other documents required pursuant to this Agreement to be delivered to the Purchaser or its designee, or its assignee for each Mortgage Loan, have been, on or before the related Closing Date, delivered to the Purchaser or its designee, or its assignee.

Section 3.03Repurchase; Substitution.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery of the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Purchaser, or its designee, and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination, or lack of examination, of any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by either the Company or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. The Company shall have a period of sixty (60) days from the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such breach within which to correct or cure such breach. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that if any such breach is not corrected or cured within such sixty day period, the Company shall, at the Purchaser's option and not later than ninety (90) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of such breach, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price or, with the Purchaser's prior consent and at Purchaser’s sole option, substitute a Mortgage Loan as provided below. In the event that any such breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01, and such breach is not cured within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company of such breach, all Mortgage Loans shall, at the option of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Company at the Repurchase Price. Any such repurchase shall be accomplished by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Purchaser in the amount of the Repurchase Price.

If the Company is required to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Company may, with the Purchaser's prior consent and at Purchaser’s sole option, within ninety (90) days from the related Closing Date, remove such defective Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and substitute another mortgage loan for such defective Mortgage Loan, in lieu of repurchasing such defective Mortgage Loan. Any substitute Mortgage Loan is subject to Purchaser acceptability. Any substituted Loans will comply with the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement as of the substitution date

The Company shall amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the removed Mortgage Loan from this Agreement and the substitution of such substitute Mortgage Loan therefor. Upon such amendment, the Purchaser shall review the Mortgage File delivered to it relating to the substitute Mortgage Loan. In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Purchaser and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Company. The principal payment on a substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the Company and the principal payment on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on such date shall be the property of the Purchaser.

It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Company set forth in this Section 3.03 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan, and to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. If the Company fails to repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.03, or fails to cure a defective Mortgage Loan to Purchaser's reasonable satisfaction in accordance with this Section 3.03, or to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, that failure shall be an Event of Default and the Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue all remedies available in this Agreement as a result thereof. No provision of this paragraph shall affect the rights of the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement for cause, as set forth in Sections 10.01 and 11.01.

Any cause of action against the Company relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) the earlier of discovery of such breach by the Company or notice thereof by the Purchaser to the Company, (ii) failure by the Company to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Company by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.

In the event that any Mortgage Loan is held by a REMIC, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or as to which no default is imminent, no substitution pursuant to Subsection 3.03 shall be made after the applicable REMIC's "start up day" (as defined in Section 860G(a) (9) of the Code), unless the Company has obtained an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of such REMIC (as defined in Section 860F of the Code) or otherwise subject the REMIC to tax, or (ii) cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 4.01Company to Act as Servicer.

The Company, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and with Accepted Servicing Practices, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Company may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and with Accepted Servicing Practices and exercise the same care that it customarily employs for its own account. Except as set forth in this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, the Company shall service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides (special servicing option), which include, but are not limited to, provisions regarding the liquidation of Mortgage Loans, the collection of Mortgage Loan payments, the payment of taxes, insurance and other charges, the maintenance of hazard insurance with a Qualified Insurer, the maintenance of mortgage impairment insurance, the maintenance of fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance, inspections, the restoration of Mortgaged Property, the maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, insurance claims, the title, management and disposition of REO Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property, the transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Files, annual statements, and examination of records and facilities. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing provisions of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and any of the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides, the provisions of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet shall control and be binding upon the Purchaser and the Company.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, the Company may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Company's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Purchaser, provided, however, that unless the Company has obtained the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Company shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer for more than ninety days or forgive any payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such modification which has been agreed to in writing by the Purchaser and which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Company shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 4.04, the difference between (a) such month's principal and one month's interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Company shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances pursuant to Section 4.05. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may not enter into a forbearance agreement or similar arrangement with respect to any Mortgage Loan which runs more than 180 days after the first delinquent Due Date. Any such agreement shall be approved by Purchaser and, if required, by the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy insurer and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy insurer, if required.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Mortgage Loan becomes subject to a Pass-Through Transfer, the Company (a) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, shall not permit any modification with respect to such Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate and (b) shall not (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to such Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Company, reasonably foreseeable) make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of such Mortgage Loan that would both (i) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (ii) 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.

Prior to taking any action with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject to a Pass-Through Transfer, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Company will obtain an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the trustee in such Pass-Through Transfer with respect to whether such action could result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (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”), and the Company shall not take any such actions as to which it has been advised that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.

The Company shall not permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in any REMIC. The Company shall not enter into any arrangement by which a REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit a 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.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Company shall employ Accepted Servicing Practices, giving due consideration to the Purchaser's reliance on the Company. Unless a different time period is stated in this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, Purchaser shall be deemed to have given consent in connection with a particular matter if Purchaser does not affirmatively grant or deny consent within five (5) Business Days from the date Purchaser receives a second written request for consent for such matter from Company as servicer.

The Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by a Subservicer on behalf of the Company provided that the Subservicer is an entity that engages in the business of servicing loans, and in either case shall be authorized to transact business, and licensed to service mortgage loans, in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Subservicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Subservicing Agreement, and in either case shall be a FHLMC or Fannie Mae approved mortgage servicer in good standing, and no event has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage, which would make it unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for lenders imposed by Fannie Mae or for seller/servicers imposed by Fannie Mae or FHLMC, or which would require notification to Fannie Mae or FHLMC. In addition, each Subservicer will obtain and preserve its qualifications to do business as a foreign corporation and its licenses to service mortgage loans, in each jurisdiction in which such qualifications and/or licenses are or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform or cause to be performed its duties under the related Subservicing Agreement. The Company may perform any of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause the Subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Company of the Subservicer shall not release the Company from any of its obligations hereunder and the Company shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of the Subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses of the Subservicer from its own funds, and the Subservicer's fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee. Company shall notify Purchaser promptly in writing upon the appointment of any Subservicer.

At the cost and expense of the Company, without any right of reimbursement from the Custodial Account, the Company shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor subservicer meeting the requirements in the preceding paragraph, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Company, at the Company's option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the Company's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 4.13, 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01 and if requested to do so by the Purchaser, the Company shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer effective as of the date of termination of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer from the Company's own funds without reimbursement from the Purchaser.

Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Company and the Subservicer or any reference herein to actions taken through the Subservicer or otherwise, the Company shall not be relieved of its obligations to the Purchaser and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Company shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with the Subservicer for indemnification of the Company by the Subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. The Company will indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any loss, liability or expense arising out of its use of a Subservicer to perform any of its servicing duties, responsibilities and obligations hereunder.

Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving the Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and Company alone, and the Purchaser shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of Purchaser to pay the Subservicer's fees and expenses. For purposes of distributions and advances by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when the Subservicer has received such payment.

Section 4.02Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the Company will proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, Accepted Servicing Practices, and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Further, the Company will take special care in ascertaining and estimating annual escrow payments, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable, so that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

In no event will the Company waive its right to any prepayment penalty or premium without the prior written consent of Purchaser and Company will use diligent efforts to collect same when due except as otherwise provided in the prepayment penalty rider to the Mortgage.

Section 4.03Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage

The Company shall use its best efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Company would use in servicing loans for its own account, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and the best interest of Purchaser, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans 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 4.01. Foreclosure or comparable proceedings shall be initiated within ninety (90) days of default for Mortgaged Properties for which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, subject to state and federal law and regulation. The Company shall use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Purchaser, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Company shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Company through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. Company shall obtain prior approval of Purchaser as to repair or restoration expenses in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). The Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings and not less than 5 days prior to the acceptance or rejection of any offer of reinstatement. The Company shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings or functions; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Company has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector at the Purchaser's expense. Upon completion of the inspection, the Company shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Purchaser shall determine how the Company shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser's sole option, terminate the Company as servicer of any Mortgage Loan which becomes ninety (90) days or greater delinquent in payment of a scheduled Monthly Payment, without payment of any termination fee with respect thereto, provided that the Company shall on the date said termination takes effect be reimbursed for any unreimbursed advances of the Company's funds made pursuant to Section 5.03 and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees in each case relating to the Mortgage Loan underlying such delinquent Mortgage Loan notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.05. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof shall apply to said termination and the transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect to such delinquent Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser or its designee.

In the event that a Mortgage Loan becomes part of a REMIC, and becomes REO Property, such property shall be disposed of by the Company, with the consent of Purchaser as required pursuant to this Agreement, before the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, unless the Company provides to the trustee under such REMIC an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the transaction to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that certificates are outstanding. Company shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each such REO Property for the certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(E) of the Code, or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC provisions of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such property, the Company shall either itself or through an agent selected by Company, protect and conserve such property in the same manner and to such an extent as is customary in the locality where such property is located. Additionally, Company shall perform the tax withholding and reporting related to Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code.

Section 4.04Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.

The Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts. The Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account, which shall be deposited within 24 hours of receipt, shall at all times be insured by the FDIC up to the FDIC insurance limits, or must be invested in Permitted Investments for the benefit of the Purchaser. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit B hereto. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and upon the request of any subsequent Purchaser.

The Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis, and retain therein the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or received by it prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto, other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date:

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Company in the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Company and the Company shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 (iv). The Purchaser shall not be responsible for any losses suffered with respect to investment of funds in the Custodial Account.

Section 4.05Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.

The Company may, from time to time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i)to make payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01;

(i)all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement;

(ii)all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property; and

The Company shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set forth or in accordance with Section 4.07. The Company shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Company shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.The Purchaser shall not be responsible for any losses suffered with respect to investment of funds in the Escrow Account.

Section 4.07Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

(i)to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, fire and hazard insurance premiums, condominium assessments and comparable items;

(viii) to pay to the Mortgagors or other parties Insurance Proceeds deposited in accordance with Section 4.06.

Section 4.08Payment of Taxes, Insurance and OtherCharges; Maintenance of Primary MortgageInsurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of primary mortgage insurance premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Company in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Company shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Company assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

The Company will maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be terminated only with the approval of Purchaser, or as required by applicable law or regulation. The Company will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Company shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Company would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Company shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any Private Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Company under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.09Transfer of Accounts.

The Company may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Eligible Account from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 4.10Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Company shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC and customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, each Mortgage Loan shall be covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in effect with an insurance carrier acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Company determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the Fannie Mae Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Company shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Company shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf. The Company shall also maintain on each REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts collected by the Company under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need be required by the Company of the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to this Agreement, the Fannie Mae Guides or such applicable state or federal laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Company and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount or material change in coverage to the Company. The Company shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Company shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are Qualified Insurers.

Section 4.11Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.

In the event that the Company shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Company shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Purchaser, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and shall use its best efforts to obtain a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Purchaser.

Section 4.12Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Company shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loan to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loan. The Fidelity Bond shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Company against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement and fraud of such persons. The errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Company against losses arising out of errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such errors and omissions insurance shall also protect and insure the Company against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond or errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Company from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Fannie Mae in the Fannie Mae Guides. Upon request by the Purchaser, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Purchaser. The Company shall notify the Purchaser within five (5) business days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. The Purchaser (or any party having the status of Purchaser hereunder) and any subsidiary thereof and their successors or assigns as their interests may appear must be named as loss payees on the Fidelity Bond and as additional insured on the errors and omissions policy. Upon request by Purchaser, Company shall provide Purchaser with an insurance certificate certifying coverage under this Section 4.12, and will provide an update to such certificate upon request, or upon renewal or material modification of coverage.

Section 4.13Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Purchaser or its designee, or in the event the Purchaser or its designee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the "doing business" or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an opinion of counsel obtained by the Company from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Purchaser.

The Company shall notify the Purchaser in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides of each acquisition of REO Property upon such acquisition (and, in any event, shall provide notice of the consummation of any foreclosure sale within three (3) Business Days of the date Company receives notice of such consummation), together with a copy of the drive by appraisal or brokers price opinion of the Mortgaged Property obtained in connection with such acquisition, and thereafter assume the responsibility for marketing such REO property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Company shall continue to provide certain administrative services to the Purchaser relating to such REO Property as set forth in this Section 4.13. No Servicing Fee shall be assessed or otherwise accrue on any REO Property from and after the date on which it becomes an REO Property.

The Company shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Company, and in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Company shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least monthly thereafter or more frequently as required by the circumstances. The Company shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Company to the Purchaser.

The Company shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Company determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Purchaser to such effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a longer period than one (1) year is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Company shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property. No REO Property shall be marketed for less than the Appraised Value, without the prior consent of Purchaser. No REO Property shall be sold for less than ninety five percent (95%) of its Appraised Value, without the prior consent of Purchaser. All requests for reimbursement of Servicing Advances shall be in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides. The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Company at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Company deems to be in the best interests of the Purchaser (subject to the above conditions) only with the prior written consent of the Purchaser. Company shall provide monthly reports to Purchaser in reference to the status of the marketing of the REO Properties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser's sole option, terminate the Company as servicer of any such REO Property without payment of any termination fee with respect thereto, provided that the Company shall on the date said termination takes effect be reimbursed for any unreimbursed advances of the Company's funds made pursuant to Section 5.03 and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees in each case relating to the Mortgage Loan underlying such REO Property notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.05. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof shall apply to said termination and the transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect to such REO Property to the Purchaser or its designee. Within five Business Days of any such termination, the Company shall, if necessary convey such property to the Purchaser and shall further provide the Purchaser with the following information regarding the subject REO Property: the related drive by appraisal or brokers price opinion, and copies of any related Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy claims. In addition, within five Business Days, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with the following information regarding the subject REO Property: the related trustee’s deed upon sale and copies of any related hazard insurance claims, or repair bids.

Section 4.14Notification of Maturity Date.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Mortgagor any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the maturity date if required under applicable law.

On each Remittance Date, the Company shall distribute by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Purchaser (i) all amounts credited to the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the preceding Determination Date, net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05, plus (ii) all Monthly Advances, if any, which the Company is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 5.03, plus, (iii) interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on any Principal Prepayment from the date of such Principal Prepayment through the end of the month for which disbursement is made provided that the Company’s obligation as to payment of such interest shall be limited to the Servicing Fee earned during the month of the distribution, minus (iv) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the preceding Determination Date, which amounts shall be remitted on the Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period for such amounts. It is understood that, by operation of Section 4.04, the remittance on the first Remittance Date with respect to Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant to the related Term Sheet is to include principal collected after the Cut-off Date through the preceding Determination Date plus interest, adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate collected through such Determination Date exclusive of any portion thereof allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, with the adjustments specified in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.

With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the Remittance Date, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus three (3) percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall cover the period commencing with the day following the Business Day such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made to the Purchaser, both inclusive. The payment by the Company of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Company. On each Remittance Date, the Company shall provide a remittance report detailing all amounts being remitted pursuant to this Section 5.01.

Section 5.02Statements to the Purchaser.

The Company shall furnish to Purchaser an individual loan accounting report, as of the last Business Day of each month, in the Company's assigned loan number order to document Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual Mortgage Loan basis. With respect to each month, the corresponding individual loan accounting report shall be received by the Purchaser no later than the fifth Business Day of the following month on a disk or tape or other computer-readable format in such format as may be mutually agreed upon by both Purchaser and Company, and no later than the fifth Business Day of the following month in hard copy, and shall contain the following:

(i) With respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to principal (including a separate breakdown of any Principal Prepayment, including the date of such prepayment, and any prepayment penalties or premiums, along with a detailed report of interest on principal prepayment amounts remitted in accordance with Section 4.04);

The Company shall prepare and file any and all information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority or to Purchaser pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the Company shall provide Purchaser with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for Purchaser to prepare its federal income tax return as Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time.

In addition, not more than sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar year, the Company shall furnish to each Person who was a Purchaser at any time during such calendar year an annual statement in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal income tax law as to the aggregate of remittances for the applicable portion of such year.

Section 5.03Monthly Advances by the Company.

Not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Remittance Date, the Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all payments not previously advanced by the Company, whether or not deferred pursuant to Section 4.01, of principal (due after the Cut-off Date) and interest not allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate, which were due on a Mortgage Loan and delinquent at the close of business on the related Determination Date.

The Company's obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, or through the Remittance Date prior to the date on which the Mortgaged Property liquidates (including Insurance Proceeds, proceeds from the sale of REO Property or Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the Mortgage Loan unless the Company deems such advance to be nonrecoverable. In such event, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser an Officer's Certificate of the Company to the effect that an officer of the Company has reviewed the related Mortgage File and has made the reasonable determination that any additional advances are nonrecoverable.

Section 5.04Liquidation Reports.

Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Purchaser pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall submit to the Purchaser a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property in a form mutually acceptable to Company and Purchaser. The Company shall also provide reports on the status of REO Property containing such information as Purchaser may reasonably require.

ARTICLE VI

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

Section 6.01Assumption Agreements.

The Company will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Company shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Company reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, the Company, with the approval of the Purchaser, will enter into an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 6.01, the Company, with the prior consent of the Purchaser and the primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement.

In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the Company. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the amount of the Monthly Payment and the maturity date may not be changed (except pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note). If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Company diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan. The Company shall notify the Purchaser that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Purchaser the original of any such substitution of liability 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. All fees collected by the Company for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Company may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 6.01, 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 6.02Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Company of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Company will immediately notify the Purchaser by a certification, 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 Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04 have been or will be so deposited, of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall no later than five Business Days after receipt of such certification and request, release or cause to be released to the Company, the related Mortgage Loan Documents and, upon its receipt of such documents, the Company shall promptly prepare and deliver to the Purchaser the requisite satisfaction or release. No later than five (5) Business Days following its receipt of such satisfaction or release, the Purchaser shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Company the release or satisfaction properly executed by the owner of record of the applicable mortgage or its duly appointed attorney in fact. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account.

In the event the Company satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, the Company, upon written demand, shall remit within two (2) Business Days to the Purchaser the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Company shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance insuring the Company against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loan, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the Purchaser shall, upon request of the Company and delivery to the Purchaser of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser to the Company. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Company to return the related Mortgage documents to the Purchaser when the need therefor by the Company no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or the 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 Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Company has delivered to the Purchaser 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 a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Purchaser to the Company.

Section 6.03Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account (to the extent of interest payments collected on the Mortgage Loans) or to retain from interest payments collected on the Mortgage Loans, the amounts provided for as the Company's Servicing Fee, subject to payment of compensating interest on Principal Prepayments as capped by the Servicing Fee pursuant to Section 5.01 (iii). Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 6.01, and late payment charges or otherwise shall be retained by the Company to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. No Servicing Fee shall be payable in connection with partial Monthly Payments. The Company shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for.

Section 6.04Annual Statement as to Compliance.

The Company will deliver to the Purchaser not later than 90 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Company beginning in March 2003, an Officers' Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Company during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Company has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officers and the nature and status of cure provisions thereof. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Company to the Purchaser upon request.

Section 6.05Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants' Servicing Report.

Within ninety (90) days of Company's fiscal year end beginning in March 2003 the Company at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Purchaser to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the Company's servicing of mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans pursuant to servicing agreements substantially similar to this Agreement, which agreements may include this Agreement, and that, on the basis of such an examination, conducted substantially in the uniform single audit program for mortgage bankers, such firm is of the opinion that the Company's servicing has been conducted in compliance with the agreements examined pursuant to this Section 6.05, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Company to the Purchaser. In addition, on an annual basis, Company shall provided Purchaser with copies of its audited financial statements.

Section 6.06Purchaser's Right to Examine Company Records.

The Purchaser shall have the right to examine and audit upon reasonable notice to the Company, during business hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under applicable circumstances, any and all of the books, records, documentation or other information of the Company, or held by another for the Company or on its behalf or otherwise, which relates to the performance or observance by the Company of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement.

The Company shall provide to the Purchaser and any supervisory agents or examiners representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Purchaser, including but not limited to OTS, FDIC and other similar entities, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in the possession of the Company which may be required by any applicable regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, upon reasonable request, during normal business hours and at the offices of the Company, and in accordance with the federal government, FDIC, OTS, or any other similar regulations.

ARTICLE VII

REPORTS TO BE PREPARED BY SERVICER

Section 7.01Company Shall Provide Information as Reasonably Required.

The Company shall furnish to the Purchaser during the term of this Agreement, such periodic, special or other reports, information or documentation, whether or not provided for herein, as shall be necessary, reasonable or appropriate in respect to the Purchaser, or otherwise in respect to the Mortgage Loans and the performance of the Company under this Agreement, including any reports, information or documentation reasonably required to comply with any regulations regarding any supervisory agents or examiners of the Purchaser all such reports or information to be as provided by and in accordance with such applicable instructions and directions as the Purchaser may reasonably request in relation to this Agreement or the performance of the Company under this Agreement. The Company agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Purchaser, from time to time, may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

In connection with marketing the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser may make available to a prospective purchaser audited financial statements of the Company for the most recently completed two (2) fiscal years for which such statements are available, as well as a Consolidated Statement of Condition at the end of the last two (2) fiscal years covered by any Consolidated Statement of Operations. If it has not already done so, the Company shall furnish promptly to the Purchaser or a prospective purchaser copies of the statements specified above.

The Company shall make reasonably available to the Purchaser or any prospective Purchaser a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions and to permit any prospective purchaser to inspect the Company’s servicing facilities for the purpose of satisfying such prospective purchaser that the Company has the ability to service the Mortgage Loans as provided in this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

Section 8.01Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

The Company agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Company to observe and perform its duties, obligations, covenants, and agreements to service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 or 3.02 of this Agreement. The Company shall immediately notify the Purchaser if a claim is made by a third party against Company with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the consent of the Purchaser) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, whether or not such claim is settled prior to judgment, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or the Purchaser in respect of such claim. The Company shall follow any written instructions received from the Purchaser in connection with such claim. The Purchaser shall promptly reimburse the Company for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the two preceding sentences except when the claim relates to the failure of the Company to service and administer the Mortgages in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the breach of representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 or 3.02, or the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Company. The provisions of this Section 8.01 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.02Merger or Consolidation of the Company.

The Company will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation except as permitted herein, and 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, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Any Person into which the Company may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Company shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Company whether or not related to loan servicing, shall be the successor of the Company 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 shall be an institution (i) having a GAAP net worth of not less than $25,000,000, (ii) the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC, SAIF and/or BIF, and which is a HUD-approved mortgagee whose primary business is in origination and servicing of first lien mortgage loans, and (iii) who is a Fannie Mae or FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing.

Section 8.03Limitation on Liability of the Company and Others.

Neither the Company nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Company shall be under any liability to the Purchaser 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 made in good faith; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Company or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in strict compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Company and any officer, employee or agent of the Company may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by the Purchaser respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Company shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its reasonable opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Company may, with the consent of the Purchaser, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Purchaser will be liable, and the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Purchaser upon written demand.

Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Company shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Purchaser which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Purchaser.

Section 8.05No Transfer of Servicing.

With respect to the retention of the Company to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Company acknowledges that the Purchaser has acted in reliance upon the Company's independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plan, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section, the Company shall not either assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Purchaser, which consent shall be granted or withheld in the Purchaser's sole discretion.

Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 8.05, in the event that the Company either shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof without (i) satisfying the requirements set forth herein or (ii) the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonable withheld, then the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Company (other than with respect to accrued but unpaid Servicing Fees and Servicing Advances remaining unpaid) or any third party.

ARTICLE IX

In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the Company shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:

(viii) the Company ceases to be (a) licensed to service first lien residential mortgage loans in any jurisdiction in which a Mortgaged Property is located and such licensing is required, and (b) qualified to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is currently so qualified, but only to the extent such non-qualification materially and adversely affects the Company's ability to perform its obligations hereunder; or

Then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Purchaser, by notice in writing to the Company (except in the case of an Event of Default under clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) above, in which case, automatically and without notice) Company may, in addition to whatever rights the Purchaser may have under Sections 3.03 and 8.01 and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Company for the same. On or after the receipt by the Company of such written notice (or, in the case of an Event of Default under clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) above, in which case, automatically and without notice), all authority and power of the Company under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 11.01. Upon written request from the Purchaser, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor's possession all Mortgage Files, and 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, at the Company's sole expense. The Company agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting the termination of the Company's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Company to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.

Section 9.02Waiver of Defaults.

The Purchaser may waive only by written notice any default by the Company in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived in writing.

In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as the Purchaser and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Company's duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Sections, the Company shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of Company pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section and shall in no event relieve the Company of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.03 and the remedies available to the Purchaser thereunder and under Section 8.01, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 and 8.01 shall be applicable to the Company notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Company, or the termination of this Agreement.

Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the Purchaser an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Company or this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.13, 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01 shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser may have against the Company arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

The Company shall promptly deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account and the Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Company shall account for all funds. The Company shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things all as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company. The successor shall make arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the Company for unrecovered Servicing Advances which the successor retains hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.

Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the Company shall notify by mail the Purchaser of such appointment.

It is understood that any such Reconstitution Agreements will not contain any greater obligations on the part of Company than are contained in this Agreement.

With respect to each Whole Loan Transfer and each Pass-Through Transfer entered into by the Purchaser, the Company agrees (1) to cooperate fully with the Purchaser and any prospective purchaser with respect to all reasonable requests and due diligence procedures; (2) to execute, deliver and perform all Reconstitution Agreements required by the Purchaser; (3) to restate the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement as of the settlement or closing date in connection with such Reconstitution (each, a "Reconstitution Date"). In that connection, the Company shall provide to such servicer or issuer, as the case may be, and any other participants in such Reconstitution: (i) any and all information (including servicing portfolio information) and appropriate verification of information (including servicing portfolio information) which may be reasonably available to the Company, whether through letters of its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser or any such other participant shall request upon reasonable demand; and (ii) such additional representations, warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers of the Company as are reasonably agreed upon by the Company and the Purchaser or any such other participant (including updating or “bringing down” any representations or warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loans if such Reconstitution Date is in the same calendar month as the related Closing Date). In connection with each Pass-Through Transfer, the Company agrees to provide reasonable and customary indemnification to the Purchaser and its affilates for disclosure contained in any offering document relating to the Company or its affilates, the Mortgage Loans and the underwriting standards of the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser shall be responsible for the costs relating to the delivery of such information.

All Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a Reconstitution shall remain subject to, and serviced in accordance with the terms of, this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, and with respect thereto this Agreement and the related Term Sheet shall remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Purchaser have caused their names to be signed hereto by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the day and year first above written.

The Servicer does hereby agree to service the Mortgage Loans, but subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer shall deliver an Acknowledgement Agreement to the Owner on each Servicing Transfer Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans transferred on such date. The rights of the Owner to receive payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be as set forth in this Agreement.

Section 2.02 Maintenance of Servicing Files.

The Servicer shall maintain a Servicing File consisting of all documents necessary to service the Mortgage Loans. The possession of each Servicing File by the Servicer is for the sole purpose of servicing the Mortgage Loan, and such retention and possession by the Servicer is in a custodial capacity only. The Servicer acknowledges that the ownership of each Mortgage Loan, including the Note, the Mortgage, all other Mortgage Loan Documents and all rights, benefits, proceeds and obligations arising therefrom or in connection therewith, has been vested in the Owner. All rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans including, but not limited to, all funds received on or in connection with the Mortgage Loans and all records or documents with respect to the Mortgage Loans prepared by or which come into the possession of the Servicer shall be received and held by the Servicer in trust for the exclusive benefit of the Owner as the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. Any portion of the related Servicing Files retained by the Servicer shall be appropriately identified in the Servicer’s computer system to clearly reflect the ownership of the related Mortgage Loans by the Owner. The Servicer shall release its custody of the contents of the related Servicing Files only in accordance with written instructions of the Owner, except when such release is required as incidental to the Servicer’s servicing of the Mortgage Loans, such written instructions shall not be required.

Section 2.03 Books and Records.

The Servicer shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for the Mortgage Loans which shall be appropriately identified in the Servicer’s computer system to clearly reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loan by the Owner. In particular, the Servicer shall maintain in its possession, available for inspection by the Owner, or its designee and shall deliver to the Owner upon demand, evidence of compliance with all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, and requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, as applicable, including but not limited to documentation as to the method used in determining the applicability of the provisions of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, to the Mortgaged Property, documentation evidencing insurance coverage and eligibility of any condominium project for approval by Fannie Mae and periodic inspection reports as required by Section 4.13. To the extent that original documents are not required for purposes of realization of Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, documents maintained by the Servicer may be in the form of microfilm or microfiche or such other reliable means of recreating original documents, including but not limited to, optical imagery techniques so long as the Servicer complies with the requirements of the Fannie Mae Guide.

The Servicer shall maintain with respect to each Mortgage Loan and shall make available for inspection by any Owner or its designee the related Servicing File (or copies thereof) during the time the Owner retains ownership of a Mortgage Loan and thereafter in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Section 2.04 Transfer of Mortgage Loans.

No transfer of a Mortgage Loan may be made unless such transfer is in compliance with the terms hereof. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be under no obligation to deal with any person with respect to this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan unless a notice of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan has been delivered to the Servicer in accordance with this Section 2.04. The Owner may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, sell and transfer one or more of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Sections 10.02 and 11.12, provided, however, that the transferee will not be deemed to be an Owner hereunder binding upon the Servicer unless such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and an assignment and assumption of this Agreement reasonably acceptable to the Servicer (except as provided in Section 10.02 with respect to a Pass-Through transfer by the initial Owner). The Owner also shall advise the Servicer in writing of the transfer. Upon receipt of notice of the permitted transfer, the Servicer shall mark its books and records to reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans of such assignee, and shall release the previous Owner from its obligations hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans sold or transferred.

Section 2.05 Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.

The Servicer shall forward to the Custodian on behalf of the Owner original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with Section 4.01 or 6.01 promptly after their execution; provided, however, that the Servicer shall provide the Custodian on behalf of the Owner with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation promptly after its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within 180 days of its execution. If delivery is not completed within 180 days solely due to delays in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Servicer shall continue to use its best efforts to effect delivery as soon as possible thereafter.

From time to time the Servicer may have a need for Mortgage Loan Documents to be released by the Custodian. If the Servicer shall require any of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Servicer shall notify the Custodian in writing of such request in the form of the request for release attached hereto as Exhibit D. The Custodian shall deliver to the Servicer within five (5) Business Days, any requested Mortgage Loan Document previously delivered to the Custodian, provided that such documentation is promptly returned to the Custodian when the Servicer no longer requires possession of the document, and provided that during the time that any such documentation is held by the Servicer, such possession is in trust for the benefit of the Owner.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 4.01 Servicer to Act as Servicer.

The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices (giving due consideration to the Owner’s reliance on the Servicer), and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices and shall exercise the same care that it customarily employs for its own account. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices in compliance with the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guide, which include, but are not limited to, provisions regarding the liquidation of Mortgage Loans, the collection of Mortgage Loan payments, the payment of taxes, insurance and other charges, the maintenance of hazard insurance with a Qualified Insurer, the maintenance of fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance, inspections, the restoration of Mortgaged Property, the maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, insurance claims, and title insurance, management of REO Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property, the transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Loan Documents, annual statements, and examination of records and facilities. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing provisions of this Agreement and any of the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guide, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and be binding upon the Owner and the Servicer. The Owner may, at its option, deliver powers-of-attorney to the Servicer sufficient to allow the Servicer as servicer to execute all documentation requiring execution on behalf of Owner with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, including satisfactions, partial releases, modifications and foreclosure documentation or, in the alternative, shall as promptly as reasonably possible, execute and return such documentation to the Servicer.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Owner, provided, however, that unless the Servicer has obtained the prior written consent of the Owner, the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such modification which has been agreed to in writing by the Owner and which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 4.04 and Section 5.03, the difference between (a) such month’s principal and one month’s interest at the related Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances pursuant to Section 4.05. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Principal Prepayment in full or in part, the Servicer may not waive any prepayment penalty or portion thereof required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note unless (i) the enforceability thereof is limited (A) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, or other similar law relating to creditors’ rights generally or (B) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, or (ii) the enforceability is otherwise limited or prohibited by applicable law. If the Servicer waives or does not collect all or a portion of a prepayment penalty relating to a Principal Prepayment in full or in part due to any action or omission of the Servicer, other than as provided above, the Servicer shall deposit the amount of such prepayment penalty (or such portion thereof as had been waived for deposit) into the Custodial Account for distribution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if a REMIC election is made, the Servicer shall not (unless the related mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (i) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (ii) cause the related 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" of such REMIC under the REMIC Provisions.

The Servicer shall perform all of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause a subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Servicer of a subservicer shall not release the Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and the Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of each subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Servicer. Any such subservicer must be a Fannie Mae approved seller/servicer or a Freddie Mac seller/servicer in good standing and no event shall have occurred, including but not limited to, a change in insurance coverage, which would make it unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for lenders imposed by Fannie Mae or for seller/servicers by Freddie Mac, or which would require notification to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of each subservicer from its own funds, and a subservicer’s fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee.

At the cost and expense of the Servicer, without any right of reimbursement from the Custodial Account, the Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of a subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor subservicer meeting the requirements in the preceding paragraph, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Servicer, at the Servicer’s option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01, and if requested to do so by the Owner, the Servicer shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of each subservicer effective as of the date of termination of the Servicer. The Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of each subservicer from the Servicer’s own funds without reimbursement from the Owner.

Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a subservicer or any reference herein to actions taken through a subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall not be relieved of its obligations to the Owner and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with a subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by the subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

Any subservicing agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a subservicer shall be deemed to be between such subservicer and Servicer alone, and the Owner shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to such subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of Owner to pay such subservicer’s fees and expenses. For purposes of distributions and advances by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when a subservicer has received such payment.

Section 4.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the Servicer will proceed with reasonable diligence to collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Further, the Servicer will take reasonable care in ascertaining and estimating annual ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

Section 4.03 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Servicer would use in servicing loans for its own account and the requirements of the Fannie Mae Guide, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans 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 4.01. The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Owner, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Owner after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Servicer through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. The Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings or functions as Servicing Advances; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor as provided in Section 4.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Owner otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall promptly provide the Owner with a written report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Owner shall determine how the Servicer shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

Section 4.04Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.

The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts. Each Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository. To the extent such funds are not deposited in a Custodial Account, such funds may be invested in Permitted Investments for the benefit of the Owner (with any income earned thereon for the benefit of the Servicer). Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit B hereto. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Owner upon request. The Servicer acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer shall bear any losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments. The amount of any such losses shall be immediately deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account, as appropriate, out of the Servicer’s own funds, with no right to reimbursement therefor.

The Servicer shall deposit in a mortgage clearing account on a daily basis, and in the Custodial Account or Accounts no later than the second Business Day after receipt of funds and retain therein the following payments and collections:

(vi)all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property received after the related Servicing Transfer Date other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;

(vii)any Monthly Advances as provided in Section 5.03;

(viii)any amounts received after the related Servicing Transfer Date and required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 6.02; and

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account.

Section 4.05 Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.

The Servicer may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i)to make payments to the Owner in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01;

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor when due. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

The Servicer will maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be maintained until the ratio of the current outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan to the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property, based on the most recent appraisal of the Mortgaged Property performed by a Qualified Appraiser, such appraisal to be included in the Servicing File, is reduced to 80.00% or less. The Servicer will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Owner, claims to the insurer under any Private Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.09 Transfer of Accounts.

The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time. The Servicer shall notify the Owner of any such transfer within 15 Business Days of transfer.

Section 4.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) the percentage such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as being a special flood hazard area that has federally-mandated flood insurance requirements, the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. The Servicer shall also maintain on the REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need be required by the Servicer or the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans, other than pursuant to the Fannie Mae Guide or such applicable state or federal laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount or material change in coverage to the Servicer. The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies currently reflect a General Policy Rating in Best’s Key Rating Guide currently acceptable to Fannie Mae and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the property subject to the policy is located.

Section 4.11 [RESERVED].

Section 4.12 Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans and who handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. The Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such Fidelity Bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Fannie Mae in the Fannie Mae Guide or by Freddie Mac in the Freddie Mac Guide. The Servicer shall, upon request of Owner, deliver to the Owner a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty days prior written notice to the Owner. The Servicer shall notify the Owner within five Business Days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. The Owner and its successors or assigns as their interests may appear must be named as loss payees on the Fidelity Bond and as additional insured on the errors and omissions policy.

Section 4.13 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Owner or its designee. Any such Person or Persons holding such title other than the Owner shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Owner.

The Servicer shall assume the responsibility for marketing each REO Property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Servicer shall continue to provide certain administrative services to the Owner relating to such REO Property as set forth in this Section 4.13. The REO Property must be sold within three years following the end of the calendar year of the date of acquisition if a REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held, unless (i) the Owner shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel (at the Servicer’s expense) to the effect that the holding by the related trust of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such three-year period (and specifying the period beyond such three-year period for which the Mortgaged Property may be held) will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of the related trust as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, in which case the related trust may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel), or (ii) the Owner (at the Servicer’s expense) or the Servicer shall have applied for, prior to the expiration of such three-year period, an extension of such three-year period in the manner contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the Code, in which case the three-year period shall be extended by the applicable period. If a period longer than three years is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Servicer shall report monthly to the Owner as to progress being made in selling such REO Property.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a REMIC election has been made, no Mortgaged Property held by a REMIC shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the related trust or sold in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify at any time as “foreclosure property” within a meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, (ii) subject the related trust to the imposition of any federal or state income taxes on “net income from foreclosure property” with respect to such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of Section 860G(c) of the Code, or (iii) cause the sale of such Mortgaged Property to result in the receipt by the related trust or any income from non-permitted assets as described in Section 860F(a) (2)(B) of the Code, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the related trust with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.

The Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, and in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guide, manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Owner. The REO Disposition Proceeds from the sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. As soon as practical thereafter, the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Servicer shall reimburse itself for any related Servicing Advances, or Monthly Advances made pursuant to Section 5.03.

The Servicer shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least monthly thereafter or more frequently as may be required by the circumstances. The Servicer shall make or cause the inspector to make a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Servicing File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the Owner.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4.13, the parties hereto hereby agree that the Owner, at its option, shall be entitled to manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for its own benefit (such option, an “REO Option”). In connection with the exercise of an REO Option, the prior two paragraphs and the related provisions of Section 4.03 and Section 4.04(iii) (such provisions, the “REO Marketing Provisions”) shall be revised as follows. Following the acquisition of any Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall submit a detailed invoice to the Owner for all related Servicing Advances and, upon exercising the REO Option, the Owner shall promptly reimburse the Servicer for such amounts. In the event the REO Option is exercised with respect to an REO Property, Section 4.04 (iii) shall not be applicable thereto. References made in Section 4.03 with respect to the reimbursement of Servicing Advances shall, for purposes of such REO Property, be deemed to be covered by this paragraph. The Owner acknowledges that, in the event it exercises an REO Option, with respect to the related REO Property, there shall be no breach by the Servicer based upon or arising out of the Servicer’s failure to comply with the REO Marketing Provisions.

Section 4.14 Notification of Adjustments.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date in compliance with requirements of applicable law and the related electronic data received on the Mortgage and Mortgage Note. The Servicer shall execute and deliver any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related electronic data received on the Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments. The Servicer shall promptly, upon written request by the Owner, deliver to the Owner such notifications and any additional applicable data regarding such adjustments and the methods used to calculate and implement such adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Servicer of the receipt of notice from the Owner that the Servicer has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the Servicer shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss or deferral caused to the Owner thereby.

ARTICLE V

PAYMENTS TO THE OWNER

Section 5.01 Remittances.

On each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Owner (i) all amounts credited to the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the related preceding Determination Date, net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05, other than Principal Prepayments received after the end of the preceding calendar month, plus, to the extent not already deposited in the Custodial Account, the sum of (ii) all Monthly Advances, if any, which the Servicer is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 5.03 and (iii) all Prepayment Interest Shortfalls the Servicer is required to make up pursuant to Section 4.04, minus (iv) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected after the related Servicing Transfer Date but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the last day of the related Due Period, which amounts shall be remitted on the related Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period for such amounts.

With respect to any remittance received by the Owner after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Servicer shall pay to the Owner interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus two percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Servicer on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following such Business Day and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with the distribution payable on the next succeeding related Remittance Date. The payment by the Servicer of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Servicer.

Section 5.02 Statements to the Owner.

The Servicer shall furnish to the Owner an individual Mortgage Loan accounting report (a “Report”), as of the last Business Day of each month (or August 31, 2002, in the case of the initial Report), in the Servicer’s assigned loan number order to document Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual Mortgage Loan basis. With respect to each month, such Report shall be received by the Owner no later than the fifth Business Day of the month of the related Remittance Date (or September 5, 2002, in the case of the initial Report) on a disk or tape or other computer-readable format, in such format as may be mutually agreed upon by both the Owner and the Servicer, and in hard copy, which Report shall contain the following:

(i)with respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to interest;

(ii)the amount of servicing compensation received by the Servicer during the prior distribution period;

(iii)the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans;

(iv)the number and aggregate outstanding principal balances of Mortgage Loans (a) delinquent (1) 30 to 59 days, (2) 60 to 89 days, (3) 90 days or more; (b) as to which foreclosure has commenced; and (c) as to which REO Property has been acquired; and

(v)such other reports as may reasonably be required by the Owner.

The Servicer shall also provide with each such Report a trial balance, sorted in the Owner’s assigned loan number order, and such other loan level information as described on Exhibits E and F, in electronic tape form.

The Servicer shall prepare and file any and all information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority or to Owner pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the Servicer shall provide the Owner with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for the Owner to prepare its federal income tax return as the Owner may reasonably request from time to time.

In addition, not more than 60 days after the end of each calendar year, the Servicer shall furnish to each Person who was an Owner at any time during such calendar year an annual statement in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal income tax law as to the aggregate of remittances of principal and interest for the applicable portion of such year.

Section 5.03 Monthly Advances by the Servicer.

Not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all payments not previously advanced by the Servicer, whether or not deferred pursuant to Section 4.01, of Monthly Payments, adjusted to the related Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate, which are delinquent at the close of business on the related Determination Date; provided, however, that the amount of any such deposit may be reduced by the Amount Held for Future Distribution (as defined below) then on deposit in the Custodial Account. Any portion of the Amount Held for Future Distribution used to pay Monthly Advances shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit into the Custodial Account on any future Remittance Date to the extent that the funds that are available in the Custodial Account for remittance to the Owner on such Remittance Date are less than the amount of payments required to be made to the Owner on such Remittance Date.

The “Amount Held for Future Distribution” as to any Remittance Date shall be the total of the amounts held in the Custodial Account at the close of business on the preceding Determination Date which were received after the related Servicing Transfer Date on account of (i) Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, and Principal Prepayments received or made in the month of such Remittance Date, and (ii) payments which represent early receipt of scheduled payments of principal and interest due on a date or dates subsequent to the related Due Date.

The Servicer’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the final disposition or liquidation of the Mortgaged Property, unless the Servicer deems such advance to be nonrecoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, REO Disposition Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan. In such latter event, the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer to the effect that an officer of the Servicer has reviewed the related Servicing File and has obtained a recent appraisal and has made the reasonable determination that any additional advances are nonrecoverable from Liquidation or Insurance Proceeds with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan.

Section 5.04 Liquidation Reports.

Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Owner pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall submit to the Owner a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property in such form as the Servicer and the Owner shall agree. The Servicer shall also provide reports on the status of REO Property containing such information as Owner may reasonably require.

ARTICLE VI

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

Section 6.01 Assumption Agreements.

The Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of a Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of, sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any “due-on-sale” clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Servicer, will enter into an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 6.01, the Servicer, with the prior consent of the primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement.

In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the Fannie Mae Guide. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note and the amount of the Monthly Payment may not be changed. The Servicer shall notify the Owner that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Owner the original of any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage Loan Documents and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such related mortgage file to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. All fees collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Servicer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this section 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 any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 6.01, 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 6.02 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Loan Documents.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will immediately notify the Custodian with a certification and request for release by a Servicing Officer, which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04 have been so deposited, and a request for delivery to the Servicer of the portion of the Mortgage Loan Documents held by the Custodian. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Owner shall promptly release or cause the Custodian to promptly release the related Mortgage Loan Documents to the Servicer and the Servicer shall prepare and deliver for execution by the Owner or at the Owner’s option execute under the authority of a power of attorney delivered to the Servicer by the Owner any satisfaction or release. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account.

In the event the Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Owner may have under the mortgage instruments, the Servicer, upon written demand, shall remit within two Business Days to the Owner the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall maintain the Fidelity Bond insuring the Servicer against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loans, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, the Custodian shall release the portion of the Mortgage Loan Documents held by the Custodian to the Servicer. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Servicer to promptly return the related Mortgage Loan Documents to the Custodian, when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or such documents have 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 Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer has promptly delivered to the Owner or the Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such documents were delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Owner or the Custodian, as applicable, to the Servicer.

Section 6.03 Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account the Servicing Fee; provided, however, that in connection with any Mortgage Loans sold by the Owner to Fannie Mae, the Servicer may deduct its Servicing Fee from amounts due the Owner pursuant to Section 5.01. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 6.01, late payment charges and other ancillary fees (excluding any prepayment penalties) shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for.

The Servicer shall pay on behalf of the Owner any and all guarantee fees due in connection with Mortgage Loans sold by the Owner to Fannie Mae. The amount of such guarantee fees shall be deducted by the Servicer from the amounts due the Owner pursuant to Section 5.01; provided that if the guarantee fees exceed such amount, the Servicer shall provide the Owner with an original invoice for the amount of any such excess, and the Owner shall pay such invoice by wire transfer to the account designated by the Servicer within 45 days of receipt of such invoice.

Section 6.04 Annual Statement as to Compliance; Financial Statements.

The Servicer will deliver to the Owner not later than 90 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer, an Officers’ Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officers and the nature and status thereof except for such defaults as such Officers in their good faith judgment believe to be immaterial.

Upon request by the Owner or the Master Servicer, the Servicer will deliver to such requesting party a copy of the audited (if such financial statements are available, otherwise unaudited) financial statements of the Servicer for the most recent fiscal year of the Servicer.

Section 6.05 Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.

Not later than 90 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer, the Servicer at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Owner to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the Servicer’s servicing of mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans pursuant to servicing agreements substantially similar to this Agreement, which agreements may include this Agreement, and that, on the basis of such an examination, conducted substantially in accordance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such firm is of the opinion that the Servicer’s servicing has been conducted in compliance with the agreements examined pursuant to this Section 6.05, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement.

Section 6.06 Owner’s Right to Examine Servicer Records.

The Owner shall have the right to examine and audit, at its expense, upon reasonable notice to the Servicer, during business hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under applicable circumstances, any and all of the books, records, documentation or other information of the Servicer, or held by another for the Servicer or on its behalf or otherwise, which relate to the performance or observance by the Servicer of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement.

The Servicer shall provide to the Owner and any supervisory agents or examiners representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Owner access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in the possession of the Servicer which may be required by any applicable regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, upon reasonable request, during normal business hours and at the offices of the Servicer, and in accordance with the applicable federal or state government regulations.

Section 6.07 Compliance with REMIC Provisions.

If a REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held, the Servicer shall not take any action, cause the REMIC 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 the REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on “contribution” to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code unless the Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such actions) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such REMIC status or result in the imposition of any such tax.

Section 6.08 Non-solicitation.

The Servicer shall not knowingly conduct any solicitation exclusively targeted to the Mortgagors for the purpose of inducing or encouraging the early prepayment or refinancing of the related Mortgage Loans. It is understood and agreed that promotions undertaken by the Servicer or any agent or affiliate of the Servicer which are directed to the general public at large, including, without limitation, mass mailings based on commercially acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio and television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation under this section. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Servicer from (i) distributing to Mortgagors any general advertising including information brochures, coupon books, or other similar documentation which indicates services the Servicer offers, including refinances or (ii) providing financing of home equity loans to Mortgagors at the Mortgagor’s request.

ARTICLE VII

REPORTS TO BE PREPARED BY SERVICER

Section 7.01 Servicer Shall Provide Information as Reasonably Required.

The Servicer shall furnish to the Owner upon request, during the term of this Agreement, such periodic, special or other reports or information, whether or not provided for herein, as shall be necessary, reasonable or appropriate with respect to the purposes of this Agreement. The Servicer may negotiate with the Owner for a reasonable fee for providing such report or information, unless (i) the Servicer is required to supply such report or information pursuant to any other section of this Agreement, or (ii) the report or information has been requested in connection with Internal Revenue Service or other regulatory agency requirements. All such reports or information shall be provided by and in accordance with all reasonable instructions and directions given by the Owner. The Servicer agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Owner, from time to time, may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

THE SERVICER

Section 8.01 Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Owner, its successors and assigns, any agent of the Owner, and the Master Servicer, and hold each of such Persons harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that such Person may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform in any way its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement and for breach of any representation or warranty of the Servicer contained herein. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Owner or other indemnified Person if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the consent of the Owner and such other Indemnified Person and with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Owner and such Person) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or such other indemnified Person in respect of such claim but failure to so notify the Owner and such other indemnified Person shall not limit its obligations hereunder. The Servicer agrees that it will not enter into any settlement of any such claim without the consent of the Owner and such other indemnified Person unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Owner and such other indemnified Person from all liability that is the subject matter of such claim. The provisions of this Section 8.01 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer.

The Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a federal savings bank under the laws the United States except as permitted herein, and 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 or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Servicer whether or not related to loan servicing, shall be the successor of the Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution (i) having a GAAP net worth of not less than $25,000,000, (ii) the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC, or which is a HUD-approved mortgagee whose primary business is in origination and servicing of first lien mortgage loans, and (iii) which is a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing.

Neither the Servicer nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Owner 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 made in good faith; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform in any way its obligations in compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of negligence or any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Servicer and any officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by the Owner respecting any matters arising hereunder.

In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Owner will be liable, and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 8.04 Reserved.

Without in any way limiting the generality of this section, the Servicer shall not either assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Owner, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that the Servicer may assign the Agreement and the servicing hereunder without the consent of Owner to an affiliate of the Servicer to which all servicing of the Servicer is assigned so long as (i) such affiliate is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved servicer and (ii) if it is intended that such affiliate be spun off to the shareholders of the Servicer, such affiliate have a GAAP net worth of at least $25,000,000 and (iii) such affiliate shall deliver to the Owner a certification pursuant to which such affiliate shall agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall certify that such affiliate is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved servicer in good standing.

ARTICLE IX

DEFAULT

Section 9.01 Events of Default.

In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the Servicer shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:

(i)any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Owner any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of two (2) Business Days after written notice thereof (it being understood that this subparagraph shall not affect Servicer’s obligation pursuant to Section 5.01 to pay default interest on any remittance received by the Owner after the Business Day on which such payment was due); or

(ii)any failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement, the breach of which has a material adverse effect and which continue unremedied for a period of sixty days (except that such number of days shall be fifteen in the case of a failure to pay any premium for any insurance policy required to be maintained under this Agreement and such failure shall be deemed to have a material adverse effect) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Owner; or

(iii)a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty days; or

(iv)the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer 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 or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

(vi)the Servicer ceases to be approved by either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (to the extent such entities are then operating in a capacity similar to that in which they operate on the date hereof) as a mortgage loan servicer for more than thirty days to the extent such entities perform similar functions; or

(vii)the Servicer attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder or the Servicer attempts, without the consent of the Owner, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets or to assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof except as otherwise permitted herein; or

(viii)the Servicer ceases to be qualified to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is currently so qualified, but only to the extent such non-qualification materially and adversely affects the Servicer’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder;

then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Owner, by notice in writing to the Servicer may, in addition to whatever rights the Owner may have under Section 8.01 and at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same. 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 Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 11.01. Upon written request from the Owner, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s possession all Servicing Files, and 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, at the Servicer’s sole expense. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Owner and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.

Section 9.02 Waiver of Defaults.

The Owner may waive only by written notice any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived in writing.

ARTICLE X

TERMINATION

Section 10.01 Termination.

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer shall terminate upon: (i) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or the disposition of all REO Property and the remittance of all funds due hereunder; (ii) by mutual consent of the Servicer and the Owner in writing; (iii) termination by the Owner pursuant to Section 9.01, (iv) sixty (60) days prior written notice by the Owner to the Servicer or (v) one hundred twenty (120) days prior written notice by the Servicer to the Owner.

If the Owner at its option elects to terminate all of the rights of the Servicer hereunder in accordance with subsection (iv) of the preceding paragraph, the Owner shall pay the Servicer an amount equal to (i) if such termination occurs within the six month period following the Servicing Transfer Date, an amount equal to $50.00 per Mortgage Loan, (ii) if such termination occurs during the period which is seven months to twelve months following the Servicing Transfer Date, an amount equal to $25.00 per Mortgage Loan, (iii) if such termination occurs during the period which is thirteen months to fifteen months following the Servicing Transfer Date, an amount equal to $15.00 per Mortgage Loan and (iv) if such termination occurs during the period which is sixteen (16) months or more following the Servicing Transfer Date, an amount equal to $10.00.

Simultaneously with any such termination and the transfer of servicing hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for any outstanding Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances.

Section 10.02 Removal of Mortgage Loans from Inclusion under this Agreement upon a Whole Loan Transfer or a Pass-Through Transfer.

The Servicer acknowledges and the Owner agrees that with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, the Owner may effect either (1) one or more Whole Loan Transfers, or (2) one or more Pass-Through Transfers.

The Servicer shall cooperate with the Owner in connection with any Whole Loan Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer contemplated by the Owner pursuant to this Section. In connection therewith, and without limitation, the Owner shall deliver any reconstitution agreement or other document related to the Whole Loan Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer to the Servicer at least 15 days prior to such transfer and the Servicer shall (i) execute any such reconstitution agreement which contains provisions substantially similar to those herein or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Owner and the Servicer and which restates the representations and warranties contained in Article III as of the date of transfer (except to the extent any such representation or warranty is not accurate on such date); provided, however, that Servicer agrees that any such reconstitution agreement in connection with a Whole Loan Transfer to Fannie Mae will be reasonably acceptable to the Servicer if it obligates the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans identified therein and to remit and report, all in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guide; and provided, further, that only a notice of transfer identifying the Mortgage Loans to be transferred need be given in the case of a Pass-Through Transfer by the initial Owner to Structured Asset Mortgage Investments, Inc. (“SAMI”) and by SAMI to the Trustee in connection with such Pass-Through Transfer; and (ii) deliver to the Owner for inclusion in any prospectus or other offering material such publicly available information regarding the Servicer, its financial condition and its mortgage loan delinquency, foreclosure and loss experience and any additional information reasonably requested by the Owner, and to deliver to the Owner any similar non-public, unaudited financial information, in which case the Owner shall bear the cost of having such information audited by certified public accountants if the Owner desires such an audit, or as is otherwise reasonably requested by the Owner and which the Servicer is capable of providing without unreasonable effort or expense, and to indemnify the Owner and its affiliates for material misstatements or omissions contained (i) in such information and (ii) on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

With respect to each Whole Loan Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer, as the case may be, effected by the Owner, Owner (i) shall reimburse Servicer for all reasonable out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses related thereto and (ii) shall pay Servicer a reasonable amount representing time and effort expended by Servicer related thereto (which amount shall be reasonably agreed upon by Servicer and Owner prior to the expenditure of such time and effort); provided, however, that for each Whole Loan Transfer and/or Pass-Through Transfer, the sum of such amounts described in subsections (i) and (ii) above shall in no event exceed $5,000. For purposes of this paragraph, all Whole Loan Transfers and/or Pass-Through Transfers made to the same entity within the same accounting cycle shall be considered one Whole Loan Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer.

All Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a Whole Loan Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer shall be subject to this Agreement and shall continue to be serviced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and with respect thereto this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 10.03 Master Servicer.

The Servicer, including any successor servicer hereunder, shall be subject to the supervision of the Master Servicer, which Master Servicer shall be obligated to ensure that the Servicer services the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer, acting on behalf of the Owner, shall have the same rights as the Owner to enforce the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement upon the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement if such failure constitutes an Event of Default as provided in Article X of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer assume any of the obligations of the Owner under this Agreement.

Section 10.04 Transfer of Servicing for Defaulted Loans.

The Owner shall have the option, exercisable in its sole discretion and upon reasonable written notice to the Servicer, to transfer to a third-party servicer any Mortgage Loan that is more than sixty (60) days delinquent with respect to Monthly Payments. Upon such transfer, the Owner will reimburse the Servicer for all unreimbursed Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan and the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with the transfer of servicing with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 11.01 Successor to the Servicer.

Prior to termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01(ii), the Owner shall (i) succeed to and assume all of the Servicer’s responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor having the characteristics set forth in Section 8.02 hereof and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement prior to the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Owner may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as the Owner and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Servicer’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned sections, the Servicer shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to the aforementioned sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this section and shall in no event relieve the Servicer of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Article III and the remedies available to the Owner under Section 8.01, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Article III and Section 8.01 shall be applicable to the Servicer notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Servicer, or the termination of this Agreement.

Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer and to the Owner an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Servicer or this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01 shall not affect any claims that the Owner may have against the Servicer arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

The Servicer shall promptly deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account and the Servicing Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Servicer shall account for all funds. The Servicer shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things all as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer. The successor shall make such arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the Servicer for unrecovered Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances which the successor retains hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.

Upon a successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, the Servicer shall notify the Owner of such appointment.

All reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with replacing the Servicer upon its resignation or the termination of the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an Event of Default and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor service to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement, shall be payable on demand by the resigning or terminated Servicer without any right of reimbursement therefor.

Section 11.02 Amendment.

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Servicer and the Owner by written agreement signed by the Servicer and the Owner.

Section 11.03 Recordation of Agreement.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any of all the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Owner at the Owner’s expense on direction of the Owner accompanied by an opinion of counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interest of the Owner or is necessary for the administration or servicing the Mortgage Loans.

Section 11.04 Governing Law.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

(m)As a condition to the succession to the Servicer or any Subservicer as servicer or subservicer under this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement related thereto by any Person (i) into which the Servicer or such Subservicer may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Servicer or any Subservicer, the Servicer shall provide to the Owner, the Master Servicer and any Depositor, at least 15 calendar days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment, (x) written notice to the Owner, the Master Servicer and any Depositor of such succession or appointment and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Owner, the Master Servicer and such Depositor, all information reasonably requested by the Owner, the Master Servicer or any Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to any class of asset-backed securities.

6.Article IV of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by adding the following after the first sentence of Section 4.01:

In addition, the Servicer shall furnish information regarding the borrower credit files related to such Mortgage Loan to credit reporting agencies in compliance with the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the applicable implementing regulations.

7.Article IV of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by adding the following as the last paragraph of Section 4.02:

The Servicer shall not waive any Prepayment Charge unless: (i) the enforceability thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally, (ii) the enforcement thereof is illegal, or any local, state or federal agency has threatened legal action if the Prepayment Charge is enforced, (iii) the mortgage debt has been accelerated in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment or (iv) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans and relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan. If a Prepayment Charge is waived, but does not meet the standards described above, then the Servicer is required to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge by remitting such amount to the Owner by the Remittance Date.

8.Article IV of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by revising the first paragraph of Section 4.03 by adding the following after the first sentence:

Such Annual Statement of Compliance shall contain no restrictions or limitations on its use to the extent used in connection with a Pass-Through Transfer for compliance with Regulation AB or as otherwise required by law. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Servicer to the Owner upon request and by the Owner to any Person identified as a prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans. In the event that the Servicer has delegated any servicing responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans to a Subservicer, the Servicer shall deliver an officer’s certificate (an “Annual Certification”) of the Subservicer as described above as to each Subservicer with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loans and such servicing responsibilities as and when required with respect to the Servicer.

(b)With respect to any Mortgage Loans that are the subject of a Pass-Through Transfer, by March 1st of each calendar year beginning in 2007, an officer of the Servicer shall execute and deliver an Annual Certification to the Owner, the Master Servicer and any related Depositor for the benefit of each such entity and such entity’s affiliates and the officers, directors and agents of any such entity and such entity’s affiliates, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G.

Failure of the Servicer to timely comply with this Section 6.04 shall be deemed an Event of Default, automatically, without notice and without any cure period, unless otherwise agreed to by the Owner as set forth in Section 6.04(c), and Owner may, in addition to whatever rights the Owner may have under Section 8.01 and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same, as provided in Section 9.01 (except the Servicer shall be entitled to any reimbursements set forth in the Agreement). Such termination shall be considered with cause pursuant to Section 10.01 of this Agreement. This paragraph shall supercede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

11.Article VI of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by deleting Section 6.05 in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

Section 6.05[Reserved].

(c)An assessment by such officer of the Servicer’s compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year, including disclosure of any material instance of noncompliance with respect thereto during such period, which assessment shall be based on the activities it performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans;

(d)A statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the Servicer’s Assessment of Compliance for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year; and

(e)A statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable to the Servicer, which statement shall be based on the activities it performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans.

With respect to any Mortgage Loans that are the subject of a Pass-Through Transfer, on or before March 1st of each calendar year beginning in 2007, the Servicer shall furnish to the Owner or its designee, the Master Servicer and any Depositor a report (an “Attestation Report”) by a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the Assessment of Compliance made by the Servicer, as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB, or as otherwise reasonably required by the Master Servicer, which Attestation Report must be made in accordance with standards for attestation reports issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

The Servicer shall cause each Subservicer, and each Subcontractor determined by the Servicer pursuant to Section 11.15 to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver to the Owner, the Master Servicer and any Depositor an assessment of compliance and accountants’ attestation as and when provided in Section 6.09.

If the Servicer cannot deliver the related Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report by March 1st of such year, the Owner, at its sole option, may permit a cure period for the Servicer to deliver such Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report, but in no event later than March 10th of such year.

Failure of the Servicer to timely comply with this Section 6.09 shall be deemed an Event of Default, automatically, without notice and without any cure period, unless otherwise agreed to by the Owner as described herein, and Owner may, in addition to whatever rights the Owner may have under Section 8.01 and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same, as provided in Section 9.01 (except the Servicer shall be entitled to any reimbursements set forth in the Agreement). Such termination shall be considered with cause pursuant to Section 10.01 of this Agreement. This paragraph shall supercede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

13.Article VI of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by adding the following new Section 6.08:

Section 6.10Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.

The Owner and the Servicer acknowledge and agree that a purpose of clause (j) of Article III, 5.02, 6.04, 6.09 and 10.02 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Owner and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. None of the Owner, the Master Servicer or any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The Servicer acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with reasonable requests made by the Owner or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Pass-Through Transfer, the Servicer shall cooperate fully with the Owner to deliver to the Owner (including any of its assignees or designees) and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Owner or any Depositor to permit the Owner or such Depositor to reasonably comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Servicer, any Subservicer and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Owner or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

14.Article IX of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by deleting the first sentence of the last paragraph of Section 9.01 and replacing it with the following:

then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Owner, by notice in writing to the Servicer (or as otherwise stated herein, in which case, automatically and without notice) may, in addition to whatever rights the Owner may have under Section 8.01 and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer (and if the Servicer is servicing any of the Mortgage Loans in a Pass-Through Transfer, appoint a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer for such Pass-Through Transfer) under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same.

15.Article IX of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by adding the following at the end of the last paragraph of Section 9.01:

The Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Owner (or any designee of the Owner, such as a master servicer) and any Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Owner (or such designee) or such Depositor, as such are incurred, in connection with the termination of the Servicer as servicer and the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer. The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit whatever rights the Owner or any Depositor may have under other provisions of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.

16.Article X of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by restating Section 10.02 in its entirety as follows:

Section 10.02.Cooperation of Servicer with a Reconstitution.

The Servicer and the Owner agree that with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, on or after the related Closing Date, on one or more dates (each a "Reconstitution Date") at the Owner 's sole option, the Owner may effect a sale (each, a "Reconstitution") of some or all of the Mortgage Loans then subject to this Agreement, without recourse, to:

(a)one or more third party purchasers in one or more in whole loan transfers (each, a "Whole Loan Transfer"); or

(b)one or more trusts or other entities to be formed as part of one or more Pass-Through Transfers.

With respect to each Whole Loan Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer, as the case may be, effected by the Owner, Owner (i) shall reimburse Servicer for all reasonable out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses related thereto and (ii) shall pay Servicer a reasonable amount representing time and effort expended by Servicer related thereto (which amount shall be reasonably agreed upon by Servicer and Owner prior to the expenditure of such time and effort); provided, however, that for each Whole Loan Transfer and/or Pass-Through Transfer, the sum of such amounts described in subsections (i) and (ii) above shall in no event exceed $5,000. For purposes of this paragraph, all Whole Loan Transfers and/or Pass-Through Transfers made to the same entity within the same accounting cycle shall be considered one Whole Loan Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer.

The Servicer agrees to execute in connection with any agreements among the Owner, the Servicer, and any servicer in connection with a Whole Loan Transfer, an assignment, assumption and recognition agreement, or, at Owner’s request, a seller's warranties and servicing agreement or a participation and servicing agreement or similar agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the parties, and in connection with a Pass-Through Transfer, a pooling and servicing agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the parties, (collectively the agreements referred to herein are designated, the “Reconstitution Agreements”). It is understood that any such Reconstitution Agreements will not contain any greater obligations on the part of Servicer than are contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.02, the Servicer agrees that it is required to perform the obligations described in Exhibit H hereto.

With respect to each Whole Loan Transfer and each Pass-Through Transfer entered into by the Owner, the Servicer agrees (1) to reasonably cooperate with the Owner and any prospective purchaser with respect to all reasonable requests and due diligence procedures; (2) to execute, deliver and perform all Reconstitution Agreements required by the Owner, provided the Servicer had the ability to negotiate such Reconstitution Agreements in good faith; (3) to restate the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement as of the settlement or closing date in connection with such Reconstitution (each, a "Reconstitution Date").

In addition, the Servicer shall provide to such servicer or issuer, as the case may be, and any other participants in such Reconstitution:

(i)any and all information and appropriate verification of information which may be reasonably available to the Servicer, whether through letters of its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Owner or any such other participant shall request upon reasonable demand;

(ii)such additional representations, warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers of the Servicer as are reasonably agreed upon by the Servicer and the Owner or any such other participant;

(iii)within 5 Business Days after request by the Owner, the information with respect to the Servicer (as servicer) as required by Item 1108(b) and (c) of Regulation AB, a summary of the requirements of which as of the date hereof is attached hereto as Exhibit J for convenience of reference only, as determined by Owner in its sole commercially reasonable discretion. In the event that the Servicer has delegated any servicing responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans to a Subservicer, the Servicer shall provide the information required pursuant to this clause with respect to the Subservicer;

(iv)within 5 Business Days after request by the Owner,

(a) information regarding any legal proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against the Servicer (as servicer) and each Subservicer as required by Item 1117 of Regulation AB, a summary of the requirements of which as of the date hereof is attached hereto as Exhibit J for convenience of reference only, as determined by Owner in its sole commercially reasonable discretion,

(b) information regarding affiliations with respect to the Servicer (as servicer) and each Subservicer as required by Item 1119(a) of Regulation AB, a summary of the requirements of which as of the date hereof is attached hereto as Exhibit J for convenience of reference only, as determined by Owner in its sole commercially reasonable discretion, and

(v) for the purpose of satisfying the reporting obligation under the Exchange Act with respect to any class of asset-backed securities, the Servicer shall (or shall cause each Subservicer to) (i) provide prompt notice to the Owner, the Master Servicer and any Depositor in writing of (A) any material litigation or governmental proceedings involving the Servicer or any Subservicer of a type contemplated by Item 1117 of Regulation AB, (B) any affiliations or relationships that develop following the closing date of a Pass-Through Transfer between the Servicer or any Subservicer and any of the parties specified in clause (D) of paragraph (a) of this Section (and any other parties identified in writing by the requesting party) with respect to such Pass-Through Transfer of a type contemplated by Item 1119 of Regulation AB, (C) any Event of Default under the terms of this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement, (D) any merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Servicer, and (E) the Servicer’s entry into an agreement with a Subservicer to perform or assist in the performance of any of the Servicer’s material obligations under this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement related thereto and (ii) provide to the Owner and any Depositor a description of such proceedings, affiliations or relationships;

(vi) as a condition to the succession to the Servicer or any Subservicer as servicer or subservicer under this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement related thereto by any Person (i) into which the Servicer or such Subservicer may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Servicer or any Subservicer, the Servicer shall provide to the Owner, the Master Servicer and any Depositor, at least 15 calendar days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment, (x) written notice to the Owner and any Depositor of such succession or appointment and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Owner and such Depositor, all information reasonably requested by the Owner or any Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to any class of asset-backed securities;

(vii) in addition to such information as the Servicer, as servicer, is obligated to provide pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement, not later than ten days prior to the deadline for the filing of any distribution report on Form 10-D in respect of any Pass-Through Transfer that includes any of the Mortgage Loans serviced by the Servicer or any Subservicer, the Servicer or such Subservicer, as applicable, shall, to the extent the Servicer or such Subservicer has knowledge, provide to the party responsible for filing such report (including, if applicable, the Master Servicer) notice of the occurrence of any of the following events along with all information, data, and materials related thereto as may be required to be included in the related distribution report on Form 10-D (as specified in the provisions of Regulation AB referenced below):

(A)any material modifications, extensions or waivers of pool asset terms, fees, penalties or payments during the distribution period or that have cumulatively become material over time (Item 1121(a)(11) of Regulation AB);

(B)material breaches of pool asset representations or warranties or transaction covenants (Item 1121(a)(12) of Regulation AB); and

(C)information regarding new asset-backed securities issuances backed by the same pool assets, any pool asset changes (such as, additions, substitutions or repurchases), and any material changes in origination, underwriting or other criteria for acquisition or selection of pool assets (Item 1121(a)(14) of Regulation AB); and

(viii) the Servicer shall provide to the Owner, the Master Servicer and any Depositor upon reasonable request, evidence of the authorization of the person signing any certification or statement, copies or other evidence of Fidelity Bond Insurance and Errors and Omission Insurance policy, financial information and reports, and such other information related to the Servicer or any Subservicer or the Servicer or such Subservicer’s performance hereunder.

In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of Exhibit J and the text of the applicable Item of Regulation AB as cited above, the text of Regulation AB, its adopting release and other public statements of the SEC shall control.

The Servicer shall indemnify the Owner, each affiliate of the Owner, and each of the following parties participating in a Pass-Through Transfer: each sponsor and issuing entity; each Person (including, but not limited to, the Master Servicer, if applicable) responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such Pass-Through Transfer, or for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to such Pass-Through Transfer; each broker dealer acting as underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser, each Person who controls any of such parties or the Depositor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act); and the respective present and former directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates of each of the foregoing and of the Depositor (each, an “Indemnified Party”), and shall hold each of them harmless from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising out of or based upon:

(i)(A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in any written or electronic information, report, certification, data, accountants’ letter or other written or electronic material provided under this Section 10.02 by or on behalf of the Servicer, or provided under this Section 10.02 by or on behalf of any Subservicer or Subcontractor (collectively, the “Servicer Information”), or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Servicer Information a material fact required to be stated in the Servicer Information or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that clause (B) of this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the Servicer Information and not to any other information communicated in connection with a sale or purchase of securities, without regard to whether the Servicer Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information;

(ii) any breach by the Servicer of its obligations under this Section 10.02, including particularly any failure by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under this Section 10.02, including any failure by the Servicer to identify pursuant to Section 11.15 any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB;

(iii) any breach by the Servicer of a representation or warranty set forth in Article III or in a writing furnished pursuant to clause (k) of Article III and made as of a date prior to the closing date of the related Pass-Through Transfer, to the extent that such breach is not cured by such closing date, or any breach by the Servicer of a representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant to clause (k) of Article III to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing date; or

(iv)the negligence bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection with its performance under this Section 10.02.

If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient, as the result of a court of law holding such indemnification void on the basis of public policy, to hold harmless an Indemnified Party, then the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Servicer on the other.

Section 2.05Books and Records.

If delivery is not completed within 120 days solely due to delays in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, Company shall cause to be delivered such document to Purchaser, or its designee, within such time period as specified in a Company's Officer's Certificate. In the event that documents have not been received by the date specified in the Company's Officer's Certificate, a subsequent Company's Officer's Certificate shall be delivered by such date specified in the prior Company's Officer's Certificate, stating a revised date for receipt of documentation. The procedure shall be repeated until the documents have been received and delivered. If delivery is not completed within 180 days solely due to delays in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Company shall continue to use its best efforts to cause delivery as soon as possible thereafter, provided that if such documents are not delivered by the 270th day from the date of the related Closing Date, the Company shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loans at the Repurchase Price in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof.

From time to time the Company may have a need for Mortgage Loan Documents to be released from Purchaser, or its designee. Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designee, upon the written request of the Company, within ten (10) Business Days, deliver to the Company or Servicer, as specified in the written request, any requested documentation previously delivered to Purchaser as part of the Mortgage File, provided that such documentation is promptly returned to Purchaser, or its designee, when the Company or Servicer no longer requires possession of the document, and provided that during the time that any such documentation is held by the Company or Servicer, such possession is in trust for the benefit of Purchaser. Company shall indemnify Purchaser, and its designee, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorney's fees) resulting from or related to the loss, damage, or misplacement of any documentation delivered to Company or Servicer pursuant to this paragraph.

Section 2.08Quality Control Procedures.

The Company warrants and represents that the Originator has an internal quality control program that verifies, on a regular basis, the existence and accuracy of the legal documents, credit documents, property appraisals, and underwriting decisions. The program is capable of evaluating and monitoring the overall quality of Originator’s loan production and servicing activities. The program is designed to ensure that the Mortgage Loans are originated and serviced in accordance with prudent mortgage banking practices and accounting principles; guard against dishonest, fraudulent, or negligent acts; and guard against errors and omissions by officers, employees, or other authorized persons.

C.Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, nor the purchase of the Mortgage Loans by the Company, the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet will conflict with any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Company's charter or by laws or materially conflict with or result in a material breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any legal restriction or any agreement or instrument to which the Company is now a party or by which it is bound, or constitute a default or result in an acceleration under any of the foregoing, or result in the material violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Company or its properties are subject, or impair the ability of the Purchaser to realize on the Mortgage Loans.

D.There is no litigation, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of Company’s knowledge, threatened, or any order or decree outstanding, with respect to the Company which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the execution, delivery, performance or enforceability of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, or which is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.

E.No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of or compliance by the Company with this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, or the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Purchaser or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, except for consents, approvals, authorizations and orders which have been obtained;

F.The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the related Term Sheet is in the ordinary course of business of the Company, and the transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or the related Term Sheet are not subject to bulk transfer or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction;

G.The origination practices used by the Originator with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been legal and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and the Mortgage Loan Documents, and in all material respects proper and prudent in the mortgage origination business. The servicing practices used by the Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been legal and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and the Mortgage Loan Documents, and in all material respects proper and prudent in the mortgage servicing business. Each Mortgage Loan has been serviced in all material respects with Accepted Servicing Practices. With respect to escrow deposits and payments that the Servicer, on behalf of an investor, is entitled to collect, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Servicer, and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All escrow payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law and the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage. As to any Mortgage Loan that is the subject of an escrow, escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every escrowed item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or other charges or payments due under the Mortgage Note have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note;

The Servicer is duly qualified, licensed, registered and otherwise authorized under all applicable federal, state and local laws, and regulations, if applicable, meets the minimum capital requirements set forth by the OCC, and is in good standing to service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or FHLMC and no event has occurred which would make Servicer unable to comply with said eligibility requirements or which would require notification to either Fannie Mae or FHLMC;

K.The Company does not believe, nor does it have any cause or reason to believe, that it cannot perform each and every of its covenants contained in this Agreement or the related Term Sheet. The Company is solvent and the sale of the Mortgage Loans will not cause the Company to become insolvent. The sale of the Mortgage Loans is not undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of the Company's creditors;

L.No statement, tape, diskette, form, report or other document prepared by, or on behalf of, Company pursuant to this Agreement or the related Term Sheet or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, contains or will contain any statement that is or will be inaccurate or misleading in any material respect;

M.The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Servicing Fee represents reasonable compensation for the Company causing the Servicer to perform such services and that the entire Servicing Fee shall be treated by the Company, for accounting and tax purposes, as compensation for causing Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement. In the opinion of Company, the consideration received by Company upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser under this Agreement and the related Term Sheet constitutes fair consideration for the Mortgage Loans under current market conditions.

N.Company has delivered to the Purchaser financial statements for its last two complete fiscal years. All such financial information fairly presents the pertinent results of operations and financial position for the period identified and has been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved, except as set forth in the notes thereto.

Section 3.02Representations and Warranties as to Individual Mortgage Loans.

References in this Section to percentages of Mortgage Loans refer in each case to the percentage of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the related Cut-off Date, based on the outstanding Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans as of the related Cut-off Date, and giving effect to scheduled Monthly Payments due on or prior to the related Cut-off Date, whether or not received. References to percentages of Mortgaged Properties refer, in each case, to the percentages of expected aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans (determined as described in the preceding sentence). The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as to each Mortgage Loan, as of the related Closing Date as follows:

A.The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the related Term Sheet is true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the related Cut-Off Date;

B.The Mortgage creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien or a first priority ownership interest in an estate in fee simple in real property securing the related Mortgage Note subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors;

C.All payments due prior to the related Cut off Date for such Mortgage Loan have been made as of the related Closing Date; the Mortgage Loan has not been dishonored; there are no material defaults under the terms of the Mortgage Loan; the Servicer has not advanced its own funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Loan. As of the related Closing Date, all of the Mortgage Loans will have an actual Interest Paid to Date of their related Cut-off Date (or later) and will be due for the scheduled monthly payment next succeeding the Cut-off Date (or later), as evidenced by a posting to Servicer’s servicing collection system. No payment under any Mortgage Loan is delinquent as of the related Closing Date nor has any scheduled payment been delinquent at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the month of the related Closing Date. For purposes of this paragraph, a Mortgage Loan will be deemed delinquent if any payment due thereunder was not paid by the Mortgagor in the month such payment was due;

D.There are no defaults by Servicer in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable;

E.The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which have been recorded to the extent any such recordation is required by law, or, necessary to protect the interest of the Purchaser. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed except in connection with a modification agreement and which modification agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms thereof except in connection with an assumption agreement and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and title insurance policy, to the extent required by the related policies;

F.The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto; and as of the related Closing Date the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding;

G.All buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable under the Fannie Mae or FHLMC Guide, against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided for in the Fannie Mae or FHLMC Guide, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. All such standard hazard policies are in full force and effect and contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Company and its successors in interest and assigns as loss payee and such clause is still in effect and all premiums due thereon have been paid. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration which policy conforms to Fannie Mae or FHLMC requirements, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. Such policy was issued by an insurer acceptable under Fannie Mae or FHLMC guidelines. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Neither the Company (nor any prior originator or servicer of any of the Mortgage Loans) nor any Mortgagor has engaged in any act or omission which has impaired or would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either;

H.Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with in all material respects; none of the Mortgage Loans are classified as a (i) “high cost” loan under the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or (ii) “high cost”, “threshold”, or “predatory” loan under any other applicable state, federal or local law; the Servicer maintains, and shall maintain, evidence of such compliance as required by applicable law or regulation and Company shall make such evidence available for inspection at the Servicer’s office during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice;

I.The Mortgage has not been satisfied in whole or canceled or subordinated, in whole or in part, or rescinded, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Company has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Company waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;

J.The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems affixed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing securing the Mortgage Note's original principal balance subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors. The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note do not contain any evidence of any security interest or other interest or right thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage subject only to (i) the lien of non delinquent current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (ii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and either (a) which are referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan, or (b) which do not adversely affect the residential use or Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal, and (iii) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not individually or in the aggregate materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein, and the Company has the full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser;

K.The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors, and the Company has taken all action necessary to transfer such rights of enforceability to the Purchaser. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. The Mortgage Loan Documents are on forms acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of Company or the Mortgagor, or on the part of any other party involved in the origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on site or off site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;

L.The Company is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser, either the Company or the Servicer will retain the Mortgage File or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee in trust only for the purpose of servicing the Mortgage Loan. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the Purchaser, the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, were not subject to an assignment, sale or pledge to any person other than Purchaser, and the Company had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner thereof and had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest (subject to the exceptions contained in (J)(i), (ii) and (iii) above) and has the full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign the Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of the Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest (subject to the exceptions contained in (J)(i), (ii) and (iii) above). The Company intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan, except for the purposes of causing Servicer to service the Mortgage Loan as set forth in this Agreement. After the related Closing Date, the Company will not have any right to modify or alter the terms of the sale of the Mortgage Loan and the Company will not have any obligation or right to repurchase the Mortgage Loan or substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to by the Company and the Purchaser;

M.Each Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC (including adjustable rate endorsements), issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (J)(i), (ii) and (iii) above) the Company, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. The Company, its successors and assigns, is the sole insured of such lender's title insurance policy, such title insurance policy has been duly and validly endorsed to the Purchaser or the assignment to the Purchaser of the Company's interest therein does not require the consent of or notification to the insurer and such lender's title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including the Company, nor any Mortgagor, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;

N.There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration; and neither the Company, nor any prior mortgagee has waived any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration;

O.There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and the Company is not aware of any rights that are outstanding that under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage;

P.All improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly within the project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in clause M. above and all improvements on the property comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances;

Q.Each Mortgage Loan was originated in conformity with the underwriting guidelines attached as Exhibit H hereto. The Mortgage Loan bears interest at an adjustable rate (if applicable) as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and Monthly Payments under the Mortgage Note are due and payable on the first day of each month. The Mortgage contains the usual and enforceable provisions of the Originator at the time of origination for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder;

R.The Mortgaged Property is not subject to any material damage. At origination of the Mortgage Loan there was not, since origination of the Mortgage Loan there has not been, and there currently is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. The Company has not received notification that any such proceedings are scheduled to commence at a future date;

S.The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage;

T.If the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified if required under applicable law to act as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses, except as may be required by local law, are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale or attempted sale after default by the Mortgagor;

U.The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the final approval of the mortgage loan application by a Qualified Appraiser who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Fannie Mae or FHLMC and Title XI of the Federal Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated. The appraisal is in a form acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC;

V.All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (i) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (ii) (a) organized under the laws of such state, or (b) qualified to do business in such state, or (c) federal savings and loan associations or national banks or a Federal Home Loan Bank or savings bank or federally chartered credit union or state chartered credit union having principal offices in such state, or (d) not doing business in such state;

W.The related Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to above;

X.The Mortgagor has received and has executed, where applicable, all disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to the making of such mortgage loans;

Y.No Mortgage Loan is subject to a buydown agreement or contains any buydown provision;

Z.The Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy and, the Mortgagor is not insolvent and the Company has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit standing that could reasonably be expected to cause investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or materially adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan;

AA.Each Mortgage Loan bears interest based upon a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred and sixty (360) day year. The Mortgage Loans have an original term to maturity of not more than thirty (30) years, with interest payable in arrears on the first day of each month. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, on each applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate will be adjusted to equal the sum of the Index, plus the applicable Margin; provided, that the Mortgage Interest Rate, on each applicable Adjustment Date, will not increase by more than the Initial Rate Cap or Periodic Rate Cap, as applicable. Over the term of each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Interest Rate will not exceed such Mortgage Loan's Lifetime Rate Cap. None of the Mortgage Loans are “interest-only” Mortgage Loans or “negative amortization” Mortgage Loans. With respect to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, each Mort¬gage Note requires a monthly payment which is suffi¬cient (i) during the period prior to the first adjust¬ment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, and (ii) during the period following each Adjust¬ment Date, to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such period over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note provides that when the Mortgage Interest Rate changes on an Adjustment Date, the then outstanding principal balance will be reamortized over the remaining life of the Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provi¬sions which would result in negative amortization. None of the Mortgage Loans contain a conversion feature which would cause the Mortgage Loan interest rate to convert to a fixed interest rate. None of the Mortgage Loans are considered agricultural loans;

HH.Any Mortgage Loan with an LTV at origination over 80.00%, is insured as to payment defaults by a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer, and such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be issued in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guide. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV over 95%. All provisions of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No Mortgage Loan requires payment of such premiums, in whole or in part, by the Purchaser. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, subject to state and federal law, and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. No action has been taken or failed to be taken, on or prior to the Closing Date which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Company or the Mortgagor, or for any other reason under such coverage; The mortgage interest rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Company to maintain the Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith;

II.The Assignment is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;

JJ.None of the Mortgage Loans are secured by an interest in a leasehold estate that expires before the stated maturity date of the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a townhouse, or a two-to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development, provided, however, that no residence or dwelling is a single parcel of real property with a manufactured home not affixed to a permanent foundation, or a mobile home. Any condominium unit or planned unit development conforms with the Company’s underwriting guidelines. As of the date of origination, no portion of any Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes, and since the Origination Date, no portion of any Mortgaged Property has been, or currently is, used for commercial purposes;

KK.Payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after the funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in monthly installments of principal and interest, which installments are subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears. Other than a Balloon Mortgage Loan, each of the Mortgage Loans will amortize fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than thirty years from commencement of amortization;

LL.As of the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Property was lawfully occupied under applicable law, and all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities;

MM.There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; there is no violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgaged Property; and the Company has not received any notice of any environmental hazard on the Mortgaged Property and nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property;

NN.The Mortgagor has not notified the Company, and the Company has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940;

OO.No Mortgage Loan is a construction or rehabilitation Mortgage Loan or was made to facilitate the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property;

PP.The Mortgagor for each Mortgage Loan is a natural person;

QQ.None of the Mortgage Loans are Co-op Loans;

RR.With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a prepayment penalty feature, each such prepayment penalty is enforceable and will be enforced by the Servicer and each prepayment penalty is permitted pursuant to federal, state and local law. No Mortgage Loan will impose a prepayment penalty for a term in excess of five years from the date such Mortgage Loan was originated. Except as otherwise set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that contains a prepayment penalty, such prepayment penalty is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum amount permitted under applicable law and (ii) six months interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate on the amount prepaid in excess of 20% of the original principal balance of such Mortgage Loan;

SS.With respect to each Mortgage Loan either (i) the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property securing such Mortgage Loan was at least equal to 80 percent of the original principal balance of such Mortgage Loan at the time such Mortgage Loan was originated or (ii) (a) the Mortgage Loan is only secured by the Mortgage Property and (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire or to improve or protect the Mortgage Property. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, if the Mortgage Loan has been significantly modified other than as a result of a default or a reasonable foreseeable default, the modified Mortgage Loan will be viewed as having been originated on the date of the modification;

TT.The Mortgage Loan was originated by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority;

UU.None of the Mortgage Loans are simple interest Mortgage Loans and none of the Mortgaged Properties are timeshares;

VV.All of the terms of the Mortgage pertaining to interest rate adjustments, payment adjustments and adjustments of the outstanding principal balance are enforceable, all such adjustments have been properly made, including the mailing of required notices, and such adjustments do not and will not affect the priority of the Mortgage lien. With respect to each Mortgage Loan which has passed its initial Adjustment Date, Servicer has performed an audit of the Mortgage Loan to determine whether all interest rate adjustments have been made in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage; and

WW.Each Mortgage Note, each Mortgage, each Assignment and any other documents required pursuant to this Agreement to be delivered to the Purchaser or its designee, or its assignee for each Mortgage Loan, have been, on or before the related Closing Date, delivered to the Purchaser or its designee, or its assignee, or such delivery has been waived by the Purchaser or its designee, or its assignee.

Section 3.03Repurchase; Substitution.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery of the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Purchaser, or its designee, and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination, or lack of examination, of any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by either the Company or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. The Company shall have a period of sixty (60) days from the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such breach within which to correct or cure such breach. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that if any such breach is not corrected or cured within such sixty day period, the Company shall, at the Purchaser's option and not later than ninety (90) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of such breach, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price or, with the Purchaser's prior consent and at Purchaser’s sole option, substitute a Mortgage Loan as provided below. In the event that any such breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01, such breach is not cured within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company of such breach, and the Purchaser shall have delivered to the Company, within ninety (90) days following such sixty (60) day period, written notice requiring the Company to repurchase the Mortgage Loans, then all Mortgage Loans shall, at the option of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Company at the Repurchase Price. Any such repurchase shall be accomplished by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Purchaser in the amount of the Repurchase Price.

If the Company is required to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Company may, with the Purchaser's prior consent and at Purchaser’s sole option, within ninety (90) days from the related Closing Date, remove such defective Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and substitute another mortgage loan for such defective Mortgage Loan, in lieu of repurchasing such defective Mortgage Loan. Any substitute Mortgage Loan is subject to Purchaser acceptability. Any substituted Loans will comply with the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement as of the substitution date

The Company shall amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the removed Mortgage Loan from this Agreement and the substitution of such substitute Mortgage Loan therefor. Upon such amendment, the Purchaser shall review the Mortgage File delivered to it relating to the substitute Mortgage Loan. In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Purchaser and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Company. The principal payment on a substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the Company and the principal payment on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on such date shall be the property of the Purchaser.

It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Company set forth in this Section 3.03 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan, and to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. If the Company fails to repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.03, or fails to cure a defective Mortgage Loan to Purchaser's reasonable satisfaction in accordance with this Section 3.03, or to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, that failure shall be an Event of Default and the Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue all remedies available in this Agreement as a result thereof. No provision of this paragraph shall affect the rights of the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement for cause, as set forth in Sections 10.01 and 11.01.

Any cause of action against the Company relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon the earlier of (A) discovery of such breach by the Company or notice thereof by the Purchaser to the Company, (B) failure by the Company to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, or (C.) demand upon the Company by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.

In the event that any Mortgage Loan is held by a REMIC, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or as to which no default is imminent, no substitution pursuant to Subsection 3.03 shall be made after the applicable REMIC's “start up day” (as defined in Section 860G(a) (9) of the Code), unless the Company has obtained an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not (A) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of such REMIC (as defined in Section 860F of the Code) or otherwise subject the REMIC to tax, or (B) cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time.

The Purchaser represents, warrants and covenants to the Company that, as of the related Closing Date or as of such date specifically provided herein:

It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Purchaser set forth in this Section 3.04 to indemnify the Company as provided herein constitute the sole remedies of the Seller respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 4.01Servicer and Master Servicer.

The Company shall cause one or more Servicers to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and with Accepted Servicing Practices, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and with Accepted Servicing Practices and exercise the same care that it customarily employs for its own account. Except as set forth in this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, the Company shall cause the Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides (special servicing option), which include, but are not limited to, provisions regarding the liquidation of Mortgage Loans, the collection of Mortgage Loan payments, the payment of taxes, insurance and other charges, the maintenance of hazard insurance with a Qualified Insurer, the maintenance of mortgage impairment insurance, the maintenance of fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance, inspections, the restoration of Mortgaged Property, the maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, insurance claims, the title, management and disposition of REO Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property, the transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Files, annual statements, and examination of records and facilities. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing provisions of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and any of the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides, the provisions of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet shall control and be binding upon the Purchaser, the Company and the Servicer.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Purchaser, provided, however, that unless the Servicer has obtained the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer for more than ninety days or forgive any payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such modification which has been agreed to in writing by the Purchaser and which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 4.04, the difference between (A) such month's principal and one month's interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (B) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances pursuant to Section 4.05. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Servicer may not enter into a forbearance agreement or similar arrangement with respect to any Mortgage Loan which runs more than 180 days after the first delinquent Due Date. Any such agreement shall be approved by Purchaser and, if required, by the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy insurer and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy insurer, if required.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Mortgage Loan becomes subject to a Pass-Through Transfer, the Servicer (A) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, shall not permit any modification with respect to such Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate and (B) shall not (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to such Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of such Mortgage Loan that would both (i) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (ii) 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.

Prior to taking any action with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject to a Pass-Through Transfer, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer will obtain an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the trustee in such Pass-Through Transfer with respect to whether such action could result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (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”), and the Servicer shall not take any such actions as to which it has been advised that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.

The Servicer shall not permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in any REMIC. The Servicer shall not enter into any arrangement by which a REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit a 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.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Company shall cause the Servicer to employ Accepted Servicing Practices. Unless a different time period is stated in this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, Purchaser shall be deemed to have given consent in connection with a particular matter if Purchaser does not affirmatively grant or deny consent within five (5) Business Days from the date Purchaser receives a second written request for consent for such matter from Company on behalf of Servicer.

The Company shall have the right to cause a Master Servicer to receive information and funds related to Mortgage Loans from one or more Servicer, process such information and relay it and the appropriate funds to either the Company or the Purchaser, all in accordance with the Master Servicing Agreement.

The Company represents and warrants that each Servicer and the Master Servicer is an entity that engages in the business of servicing loans, is authorized to transact business, and licensed to service mortgage loans, in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Servicer or Master Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement or Master Servicing Agreement, as appropriate, and is a FHLMC or Fannie Mae approved mortgage servicer in good standing, and no event has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage, which would make it unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for lenders imposed by Fannie Mae or for servicers imposed by Fannie Mae or FHLMC, or which would require notification to Fannie Mae or FHLMC. Each Servicer and the Master Servicer will obtain and preserve its qualifications to do business as a foreign corporation and its licenses to service mortgage loans, in each jurisdiction in which such qualifications and/or licenses are or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform or cause to be performed its duties under the related Servicing Agreement or Master Servicing Agreement. While each Servicer and the Master Servicer will perform any and all of the servicing responsibilities hereunder, the Company shall not be released from any of its obligations hereunder and the Company shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of each Servicer and the Master Servicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses of each Servicer and the Master Servicer from its own funds. Company shall notify Purchaser promptly in writing upon the appointment of each Servicer and the Master Servicer.

At the cost and expense of the Company, without any right of reimbursement from the Custodial Account, the Company shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of a Servicer and the Master Servicer and arrange for any and all servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor Servicer or Master Servicer meeting the requirements in the preceding paragraph. In the event that the Company's right to use a Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01 and if requested to do so by the Purchaser, the Company shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Servicer effective as of the date of termination of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Servicer from the Company's own funds without reimbursement from the Purchaser.

Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Company and a Servicer or Master Servicer or any reference herein to actions taken by or through the Servicer, Master Servicer or otherwise, the Company shall not be relieved of its obligations to the Purchaser and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans itself. The Company shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with each Servicer and the Master Servicer for indemnification of the Company by the Servicer or Master Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. The Company will indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any loss, liability or expense arising out of its use of a Servicer or Master Servicer to perform any and all of the servicing duties, responsibilities and obligations hereunder.

Any Servicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving the Servicer shall be deemed to be between the Servicer and Company alone, and the Purchaser shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Servicer including no obligation, duty or liability of Purchaser to pay the Servicer's fees and expenses. For purposes of distributions and advances by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when the Servicer has received such payment.

Any Master Servicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving the Master Servicer shall be deemed to be between the Master Servicer and Company alone, and the Purchaser shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Master Servicer including no obligation, duty or liability of Purchaser to pay the Master Servicer's fees and expenses. For purposes of distributions and advances by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when the Master Servicer has received such payment.

Section 4.02Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the Company shall cause the Servicer to proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, Accepted Servicing Practices, and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Further, the Company shall cause Servicer to take special care in ascertaining and estimating annual escrow payments, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable, so that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

In no event will the Servicer waive its right to any prepayment penalty or premium without the prior written consent of Purchaser and Servicer will use diligent efforts to collect same when due except as otherwise provided in the prepayment penalty rider to the Mortgage.

Section 4.03Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage

The Company shall cause Servicer to use its best efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Servicer would use in servicing loans for its own account, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and the best interest of Purchaser, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans 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 4.01. Foreclosure or comparable proceedings shall be initiated within ninety (90) days of default for Mortgaged Properties for which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, subject to state and federal law and regulation. The Company shall cause Servicer to use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Purchaser, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion (A) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (B) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Servicer through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. Company shall obtain prior approval of Purchaser and convey such approval to Servicer as to repair or restoration expenses in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). The Company shall cause Servicer to notify the Purchaser in writing of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings and not less than 5 days prior to the acceptance or rejection of any offer of reinstatement. The Company shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by Servicer in any such proceedings or functions; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event either the Company or the Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector at the Purchaser's expense. Upon completion of the inspection, the Company shall cause Servicer to promptly provide the Company and the Company shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Purchaser shall determine how the Servicer shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser's sole option, terminate the Company as servicer of any Mortgage Loan which becomes ninety (90) days or greater delinquent in payment of a scheduled Monthly Payment, without payment of any termination fee with respect thereto, provided that a minimum of 15% of the related pool of Mortgage Loans sold to Purchaser on the related Closing Date are ninety (90) days or greater delinquent in payment of a scheduled Monthly Payment; and provided further that the Company shall on the date said termination takes effect be reimbursed for any unreimbursed advances of the Company's funds made pursuant to Section 5.03 and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees in each case relating to the Mortgage Loan underlying such delinquent Mortgage Loan notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.05. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof shall apply to said termination and the transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect to such delinquent Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser or its designee.

In the event that a Mortgage Loan becomes part of a REMIC, and becomes REO Property, such property shall be disposed of by the Servicer, with the consent of Purchaser as required pursuant to this Agreement, before the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, unless the Servicer provides to the trustee under such REMIC an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the transaction to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that certificates are outstanding. The Company shall cause Servicer to manage, conserve, protect and operate each such REO Property for the certificate holders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(E) of the Code, or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC provisions of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such property, the Company shall cause Servicer to, either itself or through an agent selected by Servicer, protect and conserve such property in the same manner and to such an extent as is customary in the locality where such property is located. Additionally, Company shall cause Servicer to perform the tax withholding and reporting related to Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code.

Section "Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.

The Company shall cause Servicer to segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts. The Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account, which shall be deposited within 24 hours of receipt, shall at all times be insured by the FDIC or the NCUSIF up to the FDIC or NCUSIF insurance limits, or must be invested in Permitted Investments for the benefit of the Purchaser. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit B hereto. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and upon the request of any subsequent Purchaser.

The Company shall cause Servicer to deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis, and retain therein the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or received by it prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto, other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date:

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Company and the Company shall be entitled to retain and have the Servicer withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 D. The Purchaser shall not be responsible for any losses suffered with respect to investment of funds in the Custodial Account.

Section 4.05Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.

The Servicer may, from time to time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

A.to make payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01;

B.to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause B. being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made, it being understood that, in the case of such reimbursement, the Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that, where the Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 3.03, the Servicer’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such Section and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

C.to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees (or REO administration fees described in Section 4.13), the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause C. with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related proceeds from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement; any recovery shall be made upon liquidation of the REO Property;

E.to pay to itself with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has been repurchased pursuant to Section 3.03 all amounts received thereon and not distributed as of the date on which the related repurchase price is determined,

F.to transfer funds to another Eligible Account in accordance with Section 4.09 hereof;

G.to remove funds inadvertently placed in the Custodial Account by the Servicer; and

Section 4.06Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts.

The Company shall cause Servicer to segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts. The Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds deposited in each Escrow Account shall at all times be insured in a manner to provide maximum insurance under the insurance limitations of the FDIC or the NCUSIF, or must be invested in Permitted Investments. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit C. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and upon request to any subsequent purchaser.

The Company shall cause Servicer to deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, and retain therein:

A.all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement;

B.all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property; and

C.all Servicing Advances for Mortgagors whose Escrow Payments are insufficient to cover escrow disbursements.

The Company shall cause Servicer to make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set forth or in accordance with Section 4.07. The Company shall be entitled to receive any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Company shall cause Servicer to pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes. The Purchaser shall not be responsible for any losses suffered with respect to investment of funds in the Escrow Account.

Section 4.07Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by Servicer only:

A.to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, fire and hazard insurance premiums, condominium assessments and comparable items;

As part of its servicing duties, the Company shall cause Servicer to pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Escrow Account, to the extent required by law, and to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient, shall pay such interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor from Purchaser; and

H. to pay to the Mortgagors or other parties Insurance Proceeds deposited in accordance with Section 4.06.

Section 4.08Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall cause Servicer to maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of primary mortgage insurance premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Company shall cause Servicer to determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Company assumes full responsibility for Servicer making the timely payment of all such bills, and the Company shall cause Servicer to effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

The Company shall cause Servicer to maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be terminated only (A) with the approval of Purchaser, (B) after the Current LTV is eighty percent (80%) or less, or (C) as required by applicable law or regulation. The Company shall not allow Servicer to cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Company shall not allow Servicer to take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Company shall cause Servicer to promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall cause Servicer to obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Company shall cause Servicer to agree to prepare and present, on behalf of the Company and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any Private Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.09Transfer of Accounts.

The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Eligible Account from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 4.10Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Company shall cause the Servicer to cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC and customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is equal to the lesser of (A) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (B) the greater of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (ii) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, each Mortgage Loan shall be covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in effect with an insurance carrier acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (B) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (C) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the Fannie Mae Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Company shall cause the Servicer to notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Company shall cause the Servicer to immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf. The Company shall cause the Servicer to also maintain on each REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need be required by the Servicer of the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to this Agreement, the Fannie Mae Guides or such applicable state or federal laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Company and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount or material change in coverage to the Company. The Company shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Company shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are Qualified Insurers.

Section 4.11Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Company shall cause the Servicer to, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Company shall cause the Servicer to agree to prepare and present, on behalf of the Purchaser, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Company shall cause the Servicer to deliver to the Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and shall use its best efforts to obtain a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Purchaser.

Section 4.12Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Company shall cause the Servicer to maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loan to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loan. The Fidelity Bond shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement and fraud of such persons. The errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses arising out of errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such errors and omissions insurance shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond or errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Company or the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Fannie Mae in the Fannie Mae Guides. Upon request by the Purchaser, the Company shall cause the Servicer to deliver to the Purchaser a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and the Company shall cause the Servicer to obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Purchaser. The Company shall notify the Purchaser within five (5) business days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. The Purchaser (or any party having the status of Purchaser hereunder) and any subsidiary thereof and their successors or assigns as their interests may appear must be named as loss payees on the Fidelity Bond and as additional insured on the errors and omissions policy. Upon request by Purchaser, the Company shall cause the Servicer to provide Purchaser with an insurance certificate certifying coverage under this Section 4.12, and will provide an update to such certificate upon request, or upon renewal or material modification of coverage.

Section 4.13Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Purchaser or its designee, or in the event the Purchaser or its designee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an opinion of counsel obtained by the Servicer from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Purchaser.

The Company shall cause the Servicer to notify the Purchaser in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides of each acquisition of REO Property upon such acquisition (and, in any event, shall provide notice of the consummation of any foreclosure sale within three (3) Business Days of the date Servicer receives notice of such consummation), together with a copy of the drive by appraisal or brokers price opinion of the Mortgaged Property obtained in connection with such acquisition, and thereafter assume the responsibility for marketing such REO property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

Section 6.01Assumption Agreements.

The Company shall cause the Servicer to, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any “due-on-sale” clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Company shall cause the Servicer to not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Service will enter into an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Company will provide the Purchaser with written notice of the finalization of each such assumption agreement. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 6.01 and not required by law, the Servicer, with the prior consent of the Purchaser and the primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement. Where an assumption is required by law, the Servicer is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement. The Company shall provide the Purchaser and the primary mortgage insurer, if any, with written notice of the finalization of each such substitution of liability agreement.

In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall cause the Servicer to follow the underwriting standards attached hereto as Exhibit H. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the amount of the Monthly Payment and the maturity date may not be changed (except pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note). If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan. The Company shall cause the Servicer to notify the Purchaser that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Purchaser the original of any such substitution of liability 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. All fees collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Company or the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 6.01, 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 6.02Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Company shall cause the Servicer to immediately notify the Purchaser that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04 have been or will be so deposited, and shall request delivery to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall no later than five Business Days after receipt of such information , release or cause to be released to the Servicer, the related Mortgage Loan Documents and, upon its receipt of such documents, the Company shall cause the Servicer to promptly prepare and deliver to the Purchaser the requisite satisfaction or release. No later than five (5) Business Days following its receipt of such satisfaction or release, the Purchaser shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Servicer the release or satisfaction properly executed by the owner of record of the applicable mortgage or its duly appointed attorney in fact. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account.

In the event the Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, the Company shall cause the Servicer to, upon written demand, shall remit within two (2) Business Days to the Purchaser the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Company shall cause the Servicer to maintain the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance insuring the Servicer against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loan, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the Purchaser shall, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Purchaser of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser to the Servicer. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the related Mortgage documents to the Purchaser when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or the 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 Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered to the Purchaser a Servicing Officer’s Certificate 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 Servicing Officer’s Certificate stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Purchaser to the Servicer.

Section 6.03Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for causing the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to have the Servicer: (A) withdraw from the Custodial Account (to the extent of interest payments collected on the Mortgage Loans) and remit to the Company; or (B) to remit to the Company from funds retained from interest payments collected on the Mortgage Loans, the amounts provided for as the Servicing Fee, subject to payment of compensating interest on Principal Prepayments as capped by the Servicing Fee pursuant to Section 5.01 (C). Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 6.01, and late payment charges or otherwise shall be conveyed by Servicer to the Company to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. No Servicing Fee shall be payable in connection with partial Monthly Payments. The Company shall be responsible for all expenses incurred by Servicer in connection with Servicer’s servicing activities hereunder, and the Company shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for.

Section 6.04Annual Statement as to Compliance.

The Company shall cause the Servicer to deliver to the Purchaser not later than 90 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer beginning in January of 2002, a certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (A) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision, and (B) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under the Servicing Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officers and the nature and status of cure provisions thereof. The Company shall cause the Servicer to provide copies of such statement to the Purchaser upon request.

Section 6.05Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants' Servicing Report.

The Company shall cause the Servicer to provide copies of such statement to the Purchaser. In addition, on an annual basis, the Company shall cause the Servicer to provided Purchaser with copies of its audited financial statements.

Section 6.06Purchaser's Right to Examine Company Records.

The Purchaser shall have the right to examine and audit upon reasonable notice to the Servicer, during normal business hours, any and all of the books, records, documentation or other information of the Servicer, or held by another for the Servicer or on its behalf or otherwise, which relates to the performance or observance by the Servicer of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement.

The Company shall cause the Servicer to provide to the Purchaser and any supervisory agents or examiners representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Purchaser, including but not limited to OTS, FDIC and other similar entities, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in the possession of the Servicer which may be required by any applicable regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, upon reasonable request, during normal business hours and at the offices of the Servicer, and in accordance with the federal government, FDIC, OTS, or any other similar regulations.

In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as the Purchaser and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Company's duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Sections, the Company shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of Company pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section and shall in no event relieve the Company of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.03 and the remedies available to the Purchaser thereunder and under Section 8.01, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 and 8.01 shall be applicable to the Company notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Company, or the termination of this Agreement.

Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the Purchaser an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Company or this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01 shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser may have against the Company arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

The Company shall promptly cause the Servicer to deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account and the Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by Servicer hereunder, and the Servicer shall account for all funds. The Company shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things all as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company. The successor shall make arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the Company for unrecovered Servicing Advances which the successor retains hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.

Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the Purchaser shall notify the Company via facsimile of such appointment. The Company shall notify the Purchaser once the successor begins servicing the related Mortgage Loan(s)

Each assessment of compliance provided by a Subservicer pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto delivered concurrently with the appointment of such Subservicer.

20.Article VI of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by adding the following new Section 6.08:

Section 6.08Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.

The Purchaser and the Company acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Sections 3.01P, 3.01Q, 4.15, 4.16, 5.02, 6.04, 6.07, 11.18 and 11.19 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the Securities Act, the Company acknowledges that investors in privately offered securities may require that the Purchaser or any Depositor provide comparable disclosure in unregistered offerings. The Company hereby agrees to cooperate with the requests of the Purchaser and any Depositor made in connection with such unregistered offerings to provide such parties the information referenced in Exhibit L to this Agreement as it pertains to the Company, any Subservicer and any Subcontractor.

None of the Purchaser, any Securitization Master Servicer or any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under the Securities Act). The Company acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Purchaser, any Securitization Master Servicer or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any publicly offered Securitization Transaction, the Company shall fully cooperate with the Purchaser and any Securitization Master Servicer to deliver to the Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees), any Securitization Master Servicer and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Purchaser, the Securitization Master Servicer or any Depositor to permit the Purchaser, such Securitization Master Servicer or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Company, any Subservicer, any Third-Party Originator and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Purchaser or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

The Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate with the Company by providing timely notice of requests for information under these provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information required, in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, to comply with Regulation AB.

21.Article IX of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by deleting Article IX in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

B.Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Purchaser may, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been either remedied or waived in the manner provided for in Section 9.02 below, at its option, by notice in writing to the Company (except in the case of an Event of Default under subclauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above, in which case, automatically and without notice), Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to whatever rights the Purchaser may have under Sections 3.03 and 8.01 or otherwise under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, exercise the Assigned Rights (defined below) as permitted in Section 9.03 below. If the Event of Default is one described in subclause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, Purchaser may exercise the Assigned Rights as permitted in Section 9.03 below, but only with respect to those Mortgage Loans being serviced by the related Servicer. If the Event of Default is one described in subclause (i), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) or (ix), then Purchaser may exercise the Assigned Rights as permitted in Section 9.03 below with respect to all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans that Company is then causing to be serviced for Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, none of the Purchaser, any Securitization Master Servicer or any Depositor shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of the Company or any Subservicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans if a failure of the Company to identify a Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB was attributable solely to the role or functions of such Subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans other than Mortgage Loans involved with a Securitization Transaction.

C.Immediately upon the Purchaser exercising the Assigned Rights pursuant to clause (B) above, the Purchaser will have terminated the rights and servicing related obligations (but no other obligations) of the Company under this Agreement with respect to the related Mortgage Loans (which may be all Mortgage Loans) and to said Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Company for the same. Furthermore, all authority and power of the Company under this Agreement, with respect to the affected Mortgage Loans, shall pass to and be vested in the Purchaser. Upon written request from the Purchaser, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor's possession all affected Mortgage Files, and 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 affected Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Company's sole expense. The Company agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting provisions of Article 9 of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Company to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.

Section 9.02Waiver of Defaults.

The Purchaser may waive only by written notice any default by the Company in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived in writing.

Section 9.03Assignment of Servicing Rights and Obligations

Subject to the restrictions contained herein, the Company hereby makes an assignment to the Purchaser of the Company’s loan servicing-related rights and obligations (the “Assigned Rights”) set forth in that certain Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2002, by and between the Company and Charlie Mac, LLC (formerly Network Liquidity Acceptance Company, LLC), as amended; provided, however, that this assignment is limited to those Mortgage Loans that the Company is causing to be serviced for Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. While the assignment of the Assigned Rights is being made as of the date of this Agreement, the Company and the Purchaser agree that the Purchaser will not exercise, and that the Purchaser shall not be authorized to exercise, any of the Assigned Rights unless and until the conditions permitting the exercise of said rights set forth in Section 6.04, Section 6.07 or Section 9.01, as applicable, are fully met. Any attempt by the Purchaser to exercise any of the Assigned Rights in any manner that does not meet the requirements of this Agreement shall be null and void.

In the event and to the extent that the Purchaser exercises the Assigned Rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Company will no longer be obligated to cause the related Mortgage Loan(s) to be serviced for the benefit of the Purchaser; provided, however, that the Company will be obligated to assist the Purchaser in transferring the servicing of said Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser as described in this Agreement. In connection with any such transfer the Company shall, at its own expense and in addition to the provisions of Section 9.01(C), reimburse the Purchaser or its successor servicer for all costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser or such successor in connection with the purchase of a Tax Service Contract and Flood Zone Service Contract with respect to each related Mortgage Loan.

SUMMARY OF APPLICABLE REGULATION AB REQUIREMENTS

NOTE: This Exhibit L is provided for convenience of reference only. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Exhibit L and the text of Regulation AB, the text of Regulation AB, its adopting release and other public statements of the SEC shall control.

Any future advances made prior to the related Cut-off Date, have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; the consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan; the Seller shall not make future advances after the related Cut-Off Date;

All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (1) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (2) organized under the laws of such state, or (3) qualified to do business in such state, or (4) federal savings and loan associations or national banks having principal offices in such state, or (5) not doing business in such state;

(p) LTV, PMI Policy.

Each Mortgage Loan has an LTV as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and related Electronic Data File. Except as indicated on the Electronic Data File, those Mortgage Loans with an LTV greater than 80% at the time of origination, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is and will be insured as to payment defaults by a PMI Policy. If the Mortgage Loan is insured by a PMI Policy for which the Mortgage pays all premiums, the coverage will remain in place until (i) the LTV is decreased to 78% or (ii) the PMI Policy is otherwise terminated pursuant to the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998, 12 USC 4901, et seq. All provisions of such PMI Policy and LPMI Policy have been and are being complied with, such PMI Policy and LPMI Policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. The Qualified Insurer has a claims paying ability acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor or in the case of an LPMI Policy, obligates the Company, thereunder to maintain the PMI Policy or LPMI Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium. No prior holder of the Mortgage, including the Company, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy;

(q) Title Insurance.

The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy of insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Company, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of Paragraph (k) of this Section 3.02, and against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. The Company is the sole insured of such lender's title insurance policy, and such lender's title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the Mortgage, including the Company, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;

(r) No Defaults.

There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither the Company nor its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration;

(s) No Mechanics' Liens.

There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage which are not insured against by the title insurance policy referenced in Paragraph (q) above;

(t) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments.

Except as insured against by the title insurance policy referenced in Paragraph (q) above, all improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation;

(u) Payment Terms.

Except with respect to the Interest Only Mortgage Loans, principal payments commenced no more than 60 days after the funds were disbursed to the Mortgagor in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loans have an original term to maturity of not more than 30 years, with interest payable in arrears on the first day of each month. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan on each applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate will be adjusted to equal the sum of the Index plus the applicable Gross Margin, rounded up or down to the nearest multiple of 0.125% indicated by the Mortgage Note; provided that the Mortgage Interest Rate will not increase or decrease by more than 2.00% on any Adjustment Date, and will in no event exceed the maximum Mortgage Interest Rate or be lower than the minimum Mortgage Interest Rate listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule for such Mortgage Loan. Each adjustable rate Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient, during the period prior to the first adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such period over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate; provided however, with respect to any Interest Only Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Note allows a Monthly Payment of interest only during the period prior to the first Adjustment Date and upon the first adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, the Mortgage Note requires a Monthly Payment of principal and interest, sufficient to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Loan. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, if the related Mortgage Interest Rate changes on an adjustment date, the then outstanding principal balance will be reamortized over the remaining life of such Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would result in negative amortization;

(v) Customary Provisions.

The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure.

(y) Deeds of Trust.

In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Mortgagee to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor;

(z) Acceptable Investment.

The Company has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan;

(aa) Transfer of Mortgage Loans.

If the Mortgage Loan is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Assignment upon the insertion of the name of the assignee and recording information is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;

(bb) Mortgaged Property Undamaged.

The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended;

(cc) Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits.

The origination and collection practices used with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, and have been in all material respects legal and proper. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of the Company and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the Company have been capitalized under the Mortgage Note;

(dd) No Condemnation.

There is no proceeding pending or to the best of the Company’s knowledge threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the related Mortgaged Property;

(ee) The Appraisal.

The Servicing File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property. As to each Time$aver® Mortgage Loan, the appraisal may be from the original of the existing Company-serviced loan, which was refinanced via such Time$aver® Mortgage Loan. The appraisal was conducted by an appraiser who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof; and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and the appraiser both satisfy the applicable requirements of Title XI of the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated;

(ff) Insurance.

The Mortgaged Property securing each Mortgage Loan is insured by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac against loss by fire and such hazards as are covered under a standard extended coverage endorsement and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of Section 4.10, in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (a) 100% of the insurable value, on a replacement cost basis, of the improvements on the related Mortgaged Property, and (b) the greater of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (ii) an amount such that the proceeds of such insurance shall be sufficient to prevent the application to the Mortgagor or the loss payee of any coinsurance clause under the policy. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the project. If the improvements on the Mortgaged Property are in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (B) the full insurable value and (C) the maximum amount of insurance which was available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Company and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain a hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor's cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company has not acted or failed to act so as to impair the coverage of any such insurance policy or the validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof;

With respect to each Mortgage Loan that is a Buydown Mortgage Loan:

(i)	On or before the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan, the Company and the Mortgagor, or the Company, the Mortgagor and the seller of the Mortgaged Property or a third party entered into a Buydown Agreement. The Buydown Agreement provides that the seller of the Mortgaged Property (or third party) shall deliver to the Company temporary Buydown Funds in an amount equal to the aggregate undiscounted amount of payments that, when added to the amount the Mortgagor on such Mortgage Loan is obligated to pay on each Due Date in accordance with the terms of the Buydown Agreement, is equal to the full scheduled Monthly Payment due on such Mortgage Loan. The temporary Buydown Funds enable the Mortgagor to qualify for the Buydown Mortgage Loan. The effective interest rate of a Buydown Mortgage Loan if less than the interest rate set forth in the related Mortgage Note will increase within the Buydown Period as provided in the related Buydown Agreement so that the effective interest rate will be equal to the interest rate as set forth in the related Mortgage Note. The Buydown Mortgage Loan satisfies the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac guidelines;
(ii)	The Mortgage and Mortgage Note reflect the permanent payment terms rather than the payment terms of the Buydown Agreement. The Buydown Agreement provides for the payment by the Mortgagor of the full amount of the Monthly Payment on any Due Date that the Buydown Funds are available. The Buydown Funds were not used to reduce the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or to increase the Appraised Value of the Mortgage Property when calculating the Loan-to-Value Ratios for purposes of the Agreement and, if the Buydown Funds were provided by the Company and if required under Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac guidelines, the terms of the Buydown Agreement were disclosed to the appraiser of the Mortgaged Property;
(iii)	The Buydown Funds may not be refunded to the Mortgagor unless the Mortgagor makes a principal payment for the outstanding balance of the Mortgage Loan;

(nn) No Bankruptcy.

No Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated and to the best of the Company’s knowledge, as of the related Closing Date, the Company has not received notice that any Mortgagor is a debtor under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding;

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to the Cooperative Loan and delivered to Purchaser or its designee establishes in Purchaser a valid and subsisting perfected first lien on and security interest in the Mortgaged Property described therein, and Purchaser has full right to sell and assign the same.

Such underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of origination (application/approval) the borrower had a reasonable ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan;

(ss)   Imposition of a Premium.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting imposition of a premium upon a prepayment prior to maturity: (i) the prepayment premium is disclosed to the borrower in the loan documents pursuant to applicable state and federal law, and (ii) notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary, the Company shall recommend that such prepayment premium is not imposed in any instance when the mortgage debt is accelerated as the result of the borrower’s default in making the loan payments;

Section 3.03 Repurchase.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and the delivery of the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Custodian and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination or failure to examine any Custodial Mortgage Files or Retained Mortgage File. Upon discovery by either the Company or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser (or which materially and adversely affects the interests of Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other.

Within ninety (90) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company of any breach of a representation or warranty which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans, the Company shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured, the Company shall, at the Purchaser's option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price. In the event that a breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01, and such breach cannot be cured within 90 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company of such breach, all of the Mortgage Loans shall, at the Purchaser's option, be repurchased by the Company at the Repurchase Price. However, if the breach shall involve a representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.02 and the Company discovers or receives notice of any such breach within 120 days of the related Closing Date, the Company shall, if the breach cannot be cured, at the Purchaser's option and provided that the Company has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase the Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, provided that any such substitution shall be effected not later than 120 days after the related Closing Date. If the Company has no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, it shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan within ninety (90) days of the written notice of the breach or the failure to cure, whichever is later. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03 shall be accomplished by deposit in the Custodial Account of the amount of the Repurchase Price for distribution to Purchaser on the next scheduled Remittance Date, after deducting therefrom any amount received in respect of such repurchased Mortgage Loan or Loans and being held in the Custodial Account for future distribution.

At the time of repurchase or substitution, the Purchaser and the Company shall arrange for the reassignment of the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Company and the delivery to the Company of any documents held by the Custodian relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan. If the Company repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Company shall cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System to remove the Purchaser as the beneficial holder with respect to such Mortgage Loan. In the event of a repurchase or substitution, the Company shall, simultaneously with such reassignment, give written notice to the Purchaser that such repurchase or substitution has taken place, amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the Deleted Mortgage Loan from this Agreement, and, in the case of substitution, identify a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the addition of such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan to this Agreement. In connection with any such substitution, the Company shall be deemed to have made as to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement except that all such representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed made as of the date of such substitution. The Company shall effect such substitution by delivering to the Custodian for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the documents required by Section 2.03, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.03. No substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account the Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall be retained by the Company. With respect to any Deleted Mortgage loan, distributions to Purchaser shall include the Monthly Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and the Company shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by the Company in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.

For any month in which the Company substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, the Company shall determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of scheduled principal payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortfall shall be distributed by the Company in the month of substitution pursuant to Section 5.01. Accordingly, on the date of such substitution, the Company shall deposit from its own funds into the Custodial Account an amount equal to the amount of such shortfall.

In addition to such repurchase or substitution obligation, the Company shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Company representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 3.03 to cure, substitute for or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the Purchaser as provided in this Section 3.03 constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties.

Any cause of action against the Company relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by the Purchaser or notice thereof by the Company to the Purchaser, (ii) failures by the Company to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Company by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.

In the event a Mortgage Loan pays off in full on or before the related Closing Date, the Company must repay the Purchaser the difference between the Unpaid Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the date of pay off and the Unpaid Principal Balance multiplied by the purchase price percentage adjusted, if necessary in accordance with the Commitment Letter.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 4.01Company to Act as Servicer.

The Company, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through the utilization of a Subcontractor, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Company may deem necessary or desirable, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Company shall be responsible for any and all acts of a Subcontractor, and the Company’s utilization of a Subcontractor shall in no way relieve the liability of the Company under this Agreement.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Company may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Company's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Purchaser, provided, however, that the Company shall not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan and (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Company, imminent and the Company has obtained the prior written consent of the Purchaser) the Company shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment of principal (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such modification which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Company shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 5.03, the difference between (a) such month's principal and one month's interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Company shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances made pursuant to Section 5.03. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. If reasonably required by the Company, the Purchaser shall furnish the Company with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Company to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Company shall employ procedures (including collection procedures) and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account, giving due consideration to Accepted Servicing Practices where such practices do not conflict with the requirements of this Agreement, and the Purchaser's reliance on the Company.

The Company is authorized and empowered by the Purchaser, in its own name, when the Company believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, with written consent of the Purchaser, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Purchaser, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Purchaser and its successors and assigns.

The Company shall cause to be maintained for each Cooperative Loan a copy of the financing statements and shall file and such financing statements and continuation statements as necessary, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code applicable in the jurisdiction in which the related Cooperative Apartment is located, to perfect and protect the security interest and lien of the Purchaser.

The Company shall apply any Principal Prepayment on an Interest Only Mortgage Loan to the then-outstanding principal balance, at which time the interest-only payment feature shall be extinguished. The related Monthly Payment shall thereafter consist of both principal and interest components, and the amount of such Monthly Payment shall not change prior to the next Adjustment Date.

Section 4.02Liquidation of Mortgage Loans.

In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan and not postponed pursuant to Section 4.01 is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Company shall take such action as (1) the Company would take under similar circumstances with respect to a similar mortgage loan held for its own account for investment, (2) shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, (3) the Company shall determine prudently to be in the best interest of Purchaser, and (4) is consistent with any related PMI Policy. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not postponed pursuant to Section 4.01 and remains delinquent for a period of 90 days or any other default continues for a period of 90 days beyond the expiration of any grace or cure period, the Company shall commence foreclosure proceedings, the Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the Company's intention to do so, and the Company shall not commence foreclosure proceedings if the Purchaser objects to such action within three (3) Business Days of receiving such notice. In the event the Purchaser objects to such foreclosure action, the Company shall not be required to make Monthly Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 5.03, and the Company's obligation to make such Monthly Advances shall terminate on the 90th day referred to above. In such connection, the Company shall from its own funds make all necessary and proper Servicing Advances, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration or preservation of any Mortgaged Property, unless it shall determine (a) that such preservation, restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and (b) that such expenses will be recoverable by it either through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05) or through Insurance Proceeds (respecting which it shall have similar priority).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Company has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector. The cost for such inspection or review shall be borne by the Purchaser. Upon completion of the inspection or review, the Company shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental inspection.

After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Purchaser shall determine how the Company shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property. In the event (a) the environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes and (b) the Purchaser directs the Company to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental clean up costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse the Company, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof. In the event the Purchaser directs the Company not to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof.

Section 4.03Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the related Cut-off Date until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Company shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable and shall take special care in ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property, to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

Section 4.04Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Account.

The Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled "Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in trust for the Purchaser and/or subsequent purchasers of Mortgage Loans - P & I." The Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository. Upon request of the Purchaser and within ten (10) days thereof, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with written confirmation of the existence of such Custodial Account. Any funds deposited into the Custodial Account shall at all times be insured to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.05.

The Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account within one (1) Business Day of Company’s receipt, and retain therein, the following collections received by the Company and payments made by the Company after the related Cut-off Date, other than payments of principal and interest due on or before the related Cut-off Date, or received by the Company prior to the related Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto:

(i)	all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans, including all Principal Prepayments;
(ii)	all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate;
(iii)	all Liquidation Proceeds;
(iv)	all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 4.10 (other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Section 4.14), Section 4.11 and Section 4.15;
(v)	all Condemnation Proceeds which are not applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Section 4.14;
(vi)	any amount required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.01, 5.03, 6.01 or 6.02;
(vii)	any amounts payable in connection with the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03 and all amounts required to be deposited by the Company in connection with a shortfall in principal amount of any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03;
(viii)	with respect to each Principal Prepayment an amount (to be paid by the Company out of its funds) which, when added to all amounts allocable to interest received in connection with the Principal Prepayment, equals one month's interest on the amount of principal so prepaid at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate;
(ix)	any amounts required to be deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 4.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy;
(x)	any amounts received with respect to or related to any REO Property and all REO Disposition Proceeds pursuant to Section 4.16; and
(xi)	an amount from the Subsidy Account that when added to the Mortgagor’s payment will equal the full monthly amount due under the related Mortgage Note.

The foregoing requirements for deposit into the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Company into the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Company and the Company shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.05Permitted Withdrawals From Custodial Account.

The Company shall, from time to time, withdraw funds from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i)	to make payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01;
(ii)	to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances of the Company's funds made pursuant to Section 5.03, the Company's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Company's right thereto shall be prior to the rights of Purchaser, except that, where the Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03 or 6.02, the Company's right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such sections and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;
(iii)	to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, and for any unpaid Servicing Fees, the Company's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by the Company from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Company's right thereto shall be prior to the rights of Purchaser, except that where the Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03 or 6.02, in which case the Company's right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such sections and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon Purchaser's request, the Company shall provide documentation supporting the Company's Servicing Advances;
(iv)	to pay itself interest on funds deposited in the Custodial Account;
(v)	to reimburse itself for expenses incurred and reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 8.01;
(vi)	to pay any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.16 related to any REO Property, it being understood that, in the case of any such expenditure or withdrawal related to a particular REO Property, the amount of such expenditure or withdrawal from the Custodial Account shall be limited to amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account with respect to the related REO Property;
(vii)	to reimburse itself for any Servicing Advances or REO expenses after liquidation of the Mortgaged Property not otherwise reimbursed above;
(viii)	to remove funds inadvertently placed in the Custodial Account by the Company; and

In the event that the Custodial Account is interest bearing, on each Remittance Date, the Company shall withdraw all funds from the Custodial Account except for those amounts which, pursuant to Section 5.01, the Company is not obligated to remit on such Remittance Date. The Company may use such withdrawn funds only for the purposes described in this Section 4.05.

Section 4.06Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Account.

The Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled, "Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in trust for the Purchaser and/or subsequent purchasers of Residential Mortgage Loans, and various Mortgagors - T & I." The Escrow Accounts shall be established with a Qualified Depository, in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder. Upon request of the Purchaser and within ten (10) days thereof, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with written confirmation of the existence of such Escrow Account. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.07.

The Company shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts within one (1) Business Days of Company’s receipt, and retain therein:

(i)	all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement;
(ii)	all amounts representing Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property; and
(iii)	all payments on account of Buydown Funds.

The Company shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth in Section 4.07. The Company shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution, other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor. To the extent required by law, the Company shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account may be non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.

Section 4.07Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by the Company only:

(i)	to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, mortgage insurance premiums, condominium charges, fire and hazard insurance premiums or other items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage;
(ii)	to reimburse the Company for any Servicing Advances made by the Company pursuant to Section 4.08 with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;
(iii)	to refund to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan;
(iv)	for transfer to the Custodial Account and application to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note;
(v)	for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 4.14;
(vi)	to pay to the Company, or any Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account;
(vii)	to remove funds inadvertently placed in the Escrow Account by the Company;
(viii)	to remit to Purchaser payments on account of Buydown Funds as applicable; and
(ix)	to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.08Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of PMI Policy premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Company in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage. The Company assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payment of all such charges irrespective of each Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments, and the Company shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

Section 4.09Protection of Accounts.

The Company may transfer the Custodial Account, the Subsidy Account or the Escrow Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time with prior written notice to Purchaser.

Section 4.10Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Company shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard insurance such that all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) 100% of the insurable value, on a replacement cost basis, of the improvements on the related Mortgaged Property, and (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount such that the proceeds of such insurance shall be sufficient to prevent the application to the Mortgagor or the loss payee of any coinsurance clause under the policy. In the event a hazard insurance policy shall be in danger of being terminated, or in the event the insurer shall cease to be acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, the Company shall notify the Purchaser and the related Mortgagor, and shall use its best efforts, as permitted by applicable law, to obtain from another qualified insurer a replacement hazard insurance policy substantially and materially similar in all respects to the original policy. In no event, however, shall a Mortgage Loan be without a hazard insurance policy at any time, subject only to Section 4.11 hereof.

If upon origination of the Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property was located in an area identified by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac in an amount representing coverage equal to the lesser of (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis (or the unpaid balance of the mortgage if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured) and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Company determines in accordance with applicable law that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Company shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Company shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf, as permitted by applicable law.

If a Mortgage is secured by a unit in a condominium project, the Company shall verify that the coverage required of the owner's association, including hazard, flood, liability, and fidelity coverage, is being maintained in accordance with then current Fannie Mae requirements, and secure from the owner's association its agreement to notify the Company promptly of any change in the insurance coverage or of any condemnation or casualty loss that may have a material effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property as security.

In the event that any Purchaser or the Company shall determine that the Mortgaged Property should be insured against loss or damage by hazards and risks not covered by the insurance required to be maintained by the Mortgagor pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, the Company shall communicate and consult with the Mortgagor with respect to the need for such insurance and bring to the Mortgagor's attention the required amount of coverage for the Mortgaged Property and if the Mortgagor does not obtain such coverage, the Company shall immediately force place the required coverage on the Mortgagor’.

All policies required hereunder shall name the Company as loss payee and shall be endorsed with standard or union mortgagee clauses, without contribution, which shall provide for at least 30 days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage.

The Company shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Company shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and are licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The Company shall determine that such policies provide sufficient risk coverage and amounts, that they insure the property owner, and that they properly describe the property address.

Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Company under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor, in accordance with the Company's normal servicing procedures as specified in Section 4.14) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.11Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance.

In the event that the Company shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against losses arising from fire and hazards covered under extended coverage on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10. The Company shall prepare and make any claims on the blanket policy as deemed necessary by the Company in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Any amounts collected by the Company under any such policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, the Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account at the time of such loss the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, such amount to be deposited from the Company's funds, without reimbursement therefor. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate of insurance and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days' prior written notice to such Purchaser.

Section 4.12Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Company shall maintain with responsible companies, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other Persons acting in any capacity requiring such Persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage Loans ("Company Employees"). Any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Company against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such Company Employees. Such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy also shall protect and insure the Company against losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall diminish or relieve the Company from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be with a company acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and in amounts at least equal to the amounts acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Upon the request of any Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certified true copy of such fidelity bond and insurance policy and a statement from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond and insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days' prior written notice to the Purchaser.

Section 4.13Inspections.

If any Mortgage Loan is more than 60 days delinquent, the Company immediately shall inspect the Mortgaged Property and shall conduct subsequent inspections in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices or as may be required by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer. The Company shall keep a record of each such inspection and shall provide the Purchaser with copies of such upon request.

Section 4.14Restoration of Mortgaged Property.

The Company need not obtain the approval of the Purchaser prior to releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. For claims greater than $15,000, at a minimum the Company shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds:

(i)	the Company shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect thereto;
(ii)	the Company shall take all steps necessary to preserve the priority of the lien of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to requiring waivers with respect to mechanics' and materialmen's liens;
(iii)	the Company shall verify that the Mortgage Loan is not in default; and
(iv)	pending repairs or restoration, the Company shall place the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in the Escrow Account.

If the Purchaser is named as an additional loss payee, the Company is hereby empowered to endorse any loss draft issued in respect of such a claim in the name of the Purchaser.

Section 4.15Maintenance of PMI Policy; Claims.

Each Mortgage Loan has an LTV as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and Electronic Data File. Except as indicated on the Electronic Data File, with respect to each Mortgage Loan with an LTV in excess of 80% at the time of origination, the Company shall, without any cost to the Purchaser maintain or cause the Mortgagor to maintain in full force and effect a PMI Policy or LPMI Policy insuring a portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan as to payment defaults. If the Mortgage Loan is insured by a PMI Policy for which the Mortgagor pays all premiums, the coverage will remain in place until (i) the LTV decreases to 78% or (ii) the PMI Policy is otherwise terminated pursuant to the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998, 12 USC 4901, et seq. In the event that such PMI Policy shall be terminated other than as required by law, the Company shall obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated PMI Policy. If the insurer shall cease to be a Qualified Insurer, the Company shall determine whether recoveries under the PMI Policy and LPMI Policy are jeopardized for reasons related to the financial condition of such insurer, it being understood that the Company shall in no event have any responsibility or liability for any failure to recover under the PMI Policy or LPMI Policy for such reason. If the Company determines that recoveries are so jeopardized, it shall notify the Purchaser and the Mortgagor, if required, and obtain from another Qualified Insurer a replacement insurance policy. The Company shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any applicable PMI Policy or LPMI Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Company would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Company shall promptly notify the insurer under the related PMI Policy or LPMI Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy. If such PMI Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall obtain a replacement PMI Policy or LPMI Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any PMI Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any PMI Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Company under any PMI Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.16Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Purchaser, or in the event the Purchaser is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the "doing business" or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Company from any attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. The Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the Purchaser.

The Purchaser shall have the option to manage and operate the REO Property provided the Purchaser gives written notice of its intention to do so within thirty (30) days after such REO Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure. The election by the Purchaser to manage the REO Property shall not constitute a termination of any rights of the Company pursuant to Section 11.02. Upon the Company's receipt of such written notice, it shall be relived of any obligation to manage, conserve, protect, operate, dispose or sell the Mortgaged Property for the Purchaser, or its designee. All such duties will become the obligation of the Purchaser, or its designee. In such connection, upon the Mortgaged Property being acquired on behalf of the Purchaser, or its designee, the Company shall fully cooperate with Purchaser to transfer management of the REO Property to Purchaser, or its designee, and shall immediately submit a statement of expenses to the Purchaser for reimbursement within 30 days for all Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances. If Company does not receive reimbursement of such expenses from the Purchaser within the 30-days of the statement of expenses, Company shall be permitted to withdraw such amount from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05.

In the event the Purchaser does not elect to manage an REO Property, the Company shall manage, conserve and protect the related REO Property for the Purchaser. The Company, either itself or through an agent selected by the Company, shall manage the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Company shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than one year, except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as the Company deems to be in the best interest of the Purchaser.

The Company shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless (i) a REMIC election has not been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property are held, and (ii) the Company determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Purchaser to such effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a period longer than one year is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, (i) the Company shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property and (ii) if, with the written consent of the Purchaser, a purchase money mortgage is taken in connection with such sale, such purchase money mortgage shall name the Company as mortgagee, and such purchase money mortgage shall not be held pursuant to this Agreement, but instead a separate participation agreement among the Company and Purchaser shall be entered into with respect to such purchase money mortgage.

The Company shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount required above.

The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Company at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Company deems to be in the best interests of the Purchaser. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. As soon as practical thereafter the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Company shall reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees and unreimbursed advances made pursuant to Section 5.03. On the Remittance Date immediately following the Principal Prepayment Period in which such sale proceeds are received the net cash proceeds of such sale remaining in the Custodial Account shall be distributed to the Purchaser.

The Company shall withdraw the Custodial Account funds necessary for the proper operation management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 4.10 and the fees of any managing agent of the Company, or the Company itself. The Company shall make monthly distributions on each Remittance Date to the Purchaser of the net cash flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the revenues from such REO Property net of the expenses described in the Section 4.16 and of any reserves reasonably required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such expenses).

Section 4.17Real Estate Owned Reports.

Together with the statement furnished pursuant to Section 5.02, the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser on or before the Remittance Date each month a statement with respect to any REO Property covering the operation of such REO Property for the previous month and the Company's efforts in connection with the sale of such REO Property and any rental of such REO Property incidental to the sale thereof for the previous month. That statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Purchaser shall reasonably request.

Section 4.18Liquidation Reports.

Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Purchaser pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall submit to the Purchaser a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

Section 4.19Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonments of Mortgaged Property.

Following the foreclosure sale or abandonment of any Mortgaged Property, the Company shall report such foreclosure or abandonment as required pursuant to Section 6050J of the Code. The Company shall file information reports with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business and information returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by the Code. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by the Code.

Section 4.20Application of Buydown Funds.

With respect to each Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Company shall have deposited into the Escrow Account, no later than the last day of the month, Buydown Funds in an amount equal to the aggregate undiscounted amount of payments that, when added to the amount the Mortgagor on such Mortgage Loan is obligated to pay on all Due Dates in accordance with the terms of the Buydown Agreement, is equal to the full scheduled Monthly Payments which are required to be paid by the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Note (without regard to the related Buydown Agreement as if the Mortgage Loan were not subject to the terms of the Buydown Agreement). With respect to each Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Company will distribute to the Purchaser on each Remittance Date an amount of Buydown Funds equal to the amount that, when added to the amount required to be paid on such date by the related Mortgagor, pursuant to and in accordance with the related Buydown Agreement, equals the full Monthly Payment that would otherwise be required to be paid on such Mortgage Loan by the related Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Note (as if the Mortgage Loan were not a Buydown Mortgage Loan and without regard to the related Buydown Agreement).

If the Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan defaults on such Mortgage Loan during the Buydown Period and the Mortgaged Property securing such Buydown Mortgage Loan is sold in the liquidation thereof (either by the Company or the insurer under any related Primary Insurance Policy) the Company shall, on the Remittance Date following the date upon which Liquidation Proceeds or REO Disposition proceeds are received with respect to any such Buydown Mortgage Loan, distribute to the Purchaser all remaining Buydown Funds for such Mortgage Loan then remaining in the Escrow Account. Pursuant to the terms of each Buydown Agreement, any amounts distributed to the Purchaser in accordance with the preceding sentence will be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the related Buydown Mortgage Loan. If a Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan prepays such Mortgage Loan in its entirety during the related Buydown Period, the Company shall be required to withdraw from the Escrow Account any Buydown Funds remaining in the Escrow Account with respect to such Buydown Mortgage Loan in accordance with the related Buydown Agreement. If a principal prepayment by a Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan during the related Buydown Period, together with any Buydown Funds then remaining in the Escrow Account related to such Buydown Mortgage Loan, would result in a principal prepayment of the entire unpaid principal balance of the Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Company shall distribute to the Purchaser on the Remittance Date occurring in the month immediately succeeding the month in which such Principal Prepayment is received, all Buydown Funds related to such Mortgage Loan so remaining in the Escrow Account, together with any amounts required to be deposited into the Custodial Account.

Upon the discovery by the Company or the receipt of notice from the Purchaser that the Company has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note, the Company shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss or deferral caused the Purchaser thereby.

Section 4.22Confidentiality/Protection of Customer Information.

The Company shall keep confidential and shall not divulge to any party, without the Purchaser's prior written consent, the price paid by the Purchaser for the Mortgage Loans, except to the extent that it is reasonable and necessary for the Company to do so in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies. Each party agrees that it shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the privacy or security of Customer Information and shall maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of Customer Information, including maintaining security measures designed to meet the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information, 66 Fed. Reg. 8616 (the “Interagency Guidelines”), if applicable. For purposes of this Section 4.22, the term “Customer Information” shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Interagency Guidelines.

Section 4.23Fair Credit Reporting Act

The Company, in its capacity as servicer for each Mortgage Loan, agrees to fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company (three of the credit repositories), on a monthly basis.

Section 4.24Establishment of and Deposits to Subsidy Account.

The Company shall segregate and hold all Subsidy Funds collected and received pursuant to the Subsidy Loans separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Subsidy Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled “Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in trust for the Purchaser, its successors or assigns, and/or subsequent purchasers of residential Mortgage Loans, and various Mortgagors.” The Subsidy Account shall be an eligible deposit account established with an eligible institution.

(ii)	to transfer funds to another eligible institution in accordance with Section 4.09 hereof;
(iii)	to withdraw funds deposited in error; and
(iv)	to clear and terminate the Subsidy Account upon the termination of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Company may employ the Escrow Account as the Subsidy Account to the extent that the Company can separately identify any Subsidy Funds deposited therein.

Section 4.25Use of Subservicers and Subcontractors.

The Company shall not hire or otherwise utilize the services of any Subservicer to fulfill any of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement unless the Company complies with the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 4.25. The Company shall not hire or otherwise utilize the services of any Subcontractor, and shall not permit any Subservicer to hire or otherwise utilize the services of any Subcontractor, to fulfill any of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement unless the Company complies with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 4.25.

Section 5.01Remittances.

On each Remittance Date the Company shall remit by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Purchaser (a) all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the Determination Date (net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05), plus (b) all amounts, if any, which the Company is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 5.03, minus (c) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments received after the applicable Principal Prepayment Period which amounts shall be remitted on the following Remittance Date, together with any additional interest required to be deposited in the Custodial Account in connection with such Principal Prepayment in accordance with Section 4.04(viii); minus (d) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the first day of the month of the Remittance Date, and minus (e) any amounts attributable to Buydown Funds being held in the Custodial Account, which amounts shall be remitted on the Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period for such amounts.

With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus three percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall cover the period commencing with the day following the Business Day such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made to the Purchaser, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted by wire transfer of immediately available funds within one Business Day following agreement by the Purchaser and the Company of the penalty amount. The payment by the Company of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Company.

Section 5.02Statements to Purchaser.

Not later than the Remittance Date, the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser a monthly remittance advice in the standard form of electronic Alltel® file, as to the period ending on the last day of the preceding month.

In the event that the Company determines that any such advances are non-recoverable, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with a certificate signed by two officers of the Company evidencing such determination.

ARTICLE VI

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

Section 6.01Transfers of Mortgaged Property.

The Company shall use its best efforts to enforce any "due-on-sale" provision contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note and to deny assumption by the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be sold whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Company shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, immediately notify the Purchaser and exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the "due-on-sale" clause applicable thereto, provided, however, that the Company shall not exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related PMI Policy, if any.

If the Company reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, the Company shall enter into (i) an assumption and modification agreement with the Person to whom such property has been conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and the original Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) in the event the Company is unable under applicable law to require that the original Mortgagor remain liable under the Mortgage Note and the Company has the prior consent of the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, a substitution of liability agreement with the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. If an assumption fee is collected by the Company for entering into an assumption agreement the fee will be retained by the Company as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption, neither the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the term of the Mortgage Loan, the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan nor any other materials terms shall be changed without Purchaser’s consent.

To the extent that any Mortgage Loan is assumable, the Company shall inquire diligently into the credit worthiness of the proposed transferee, and shall use the underwriting criteria for approving the credit of the proposed transferee which are used with respect to underwriting mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans. If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Company diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan.

Section 6.02Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Loan Documents.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Company of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Company shall notify the Purchaser in the Monthly Remittance Advice as provided in Section 5.02, and may request the release of any Mortgage Loan Documents.

If the Company satisfies or releases a Mortgage without first having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should the Company otherwise prejudice any rights the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, upon written demand of the Purchaser, the Company shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account within 2 Business Days of receipt of such demand by the Purchaser. The Company shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy as provided for in Section 4.12 insuring the Company against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

Section 6.03Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account or to retain from interest payments on the Mortgage Loans the amount of its Servicing Fee. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly and shall be computed on the basis of the outstanding principal balance and for the period respecting which any related interest payment on a Mortgage Loan is computed. The obligation of the Purchaser to pay the Servicing Fee is limited to, and payable solely from, the interest portion of such Monthly Payments.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, to the extent provided in Section 6.01, and late payment charges shall be retained by the Company to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Company shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for herein.

Section 6.04Annual Statements as to Compliance.

(i)The Company shall deliver to the Purchaser, on or before February 28, 2006, an Officer's Certificate, stating that (x) a review of the activities of the Company during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement or similar agreements has been made under such officer's supervision, and (y) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Company has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof and the action being taken by the Company to cure such default.

(ii)On or before March 1 of each calendar year, commencing in 2007, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser and any Depositor a statement of compliance addressed to the Purchaser and such Depositor and signed by an authorized officer of the Company, to the effect that (a) a review of the Company’s activities during the immediately preceding calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) and of its performance under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement during such period has been made under such officer’s supervision, and (b) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Company has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement in all material respects throughout such calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifically identifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and the status thereof.

Section 6.05Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.

Except with respect to Securitization Transactions occurring on or after January 1, 2006, on or before February 28, 2006, the Company, at its expense, shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to each Purchaser to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the mortgage loans similar in nature and that such firm is of the opinion that the provisions of this or similar agreements have been complied with, and that, on the basis of such examination conducted substantially in compliance with the Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, nothing has come to their attention which would indicate that such servicing has not been conducted in compliance therewith, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement.

MASTER MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This is an Amended and Restated Master Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated as of November 1, 2004 by and between EMC Mortgage Corporation, having an office at 909 Hidden Ridge Drive, Suite 200, Irving, Texas 75038 (the "Purchaser") and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., having an office at 1 Home Campus, Des Moines, Iowa 50328-0001 (the "Seller").

WITNE SSETH

WHEREAS, the Seller agrees to sell, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, from time to time certain conventional residential mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans") on a servicing retained basis as described herein:

WHEREAS, the Mortgage Loans shall be delivered as pools of whole loans (each a “Loan Package”) on various dates as provided herein (each a “Closing Date”); and

WHEREAS, the parties intend hereby to set forth the terms and conditions upon which the proposed Transactions will be effected.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings set forth in the Amended and Restated Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement, dated as of the date herewith (the“Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement").

SECTION 2. Agreement to Purchase. The Seller agrees to sell, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from time to time, Mortgage Loans having an aggregate principal balance on the applicable related Cut-off Date in an amount as set forth in the related Commitment Letters or in such other amount as agreed by the Purchaser and the Seller as evidenced by the actual aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Package accepted by the Purchaser on the related Closing Date. The Mortgage Loans will be delivered pursuant to the Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 3.Mortgage Schedules. The Seller will provide the Purchaser with certain information constituting a listing of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased under this Agreement for each Transaction (the "Mortgage Loan Schedule"). Each Mortgage Loan Schedule shall conform to the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" under the Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 4. Purchase Price. The purchase price for each Loan Package (the "Purchase Price") shall be the percentage of par as stated in the related Commitment Letter, multiplied by the aggregate principal balance, as of the related Cut-off Date, of the Mortgage Loans listed in the related Loan Package, after application of scheduled payments of principal for such related Loan Package due on or before the related Cut-off Date whether or not collected. The purchase price for a Loan Package may be adjusted as stated in the related Commitment Letter.

In addition to the Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller, at closing, accrued interest on the initial principal amount of the Mortgage Loans at the weighted average Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate for each Loan Package from the related Cut-off Date through the day prior to the related Closing Date, inclusive.

With respect to each Loan Package, the Purchaser shall be entitled to (1) all scheduled principal due after the related Cut-off Date, (2) all other recoveries of principal collected after the related Cut-off Date (provided, however, that all scheduled payments of principal due on or before the related Cut-off Date and collected by the Seller after the related Cut-off Date shall belong to the Seller), and (3) all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate (minus that portion of any such payment which is allocable to the period prior to the related Cut-off Date). The principal balance of each Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-off Date is determined after application of payments of principal due on or before the related Cut-off Date whether or not collected. Therefore, payments of scheduled principal and interest prepaid for a due date beyond the related Cut-off Date shall not be applied to the principal balance as of the related Cut-off Date. Such prepaid amounts (minus interest at the Servicing Fee Rate) shall be the property of the Purchaser. The Seller shall deposit any such prepaid amounts into the Custodial Account, which account is established for the benefit of the Purchaser for subsequent remittance by the Seller to the Purchaser.

SECTION 5. Examination of Mortgage Files. Prior to each Closing Date, the Seller shall (a) deliver to the Purchaser in escrow, for examination, the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan, including a copy of the Assignment of Mortgage, pertaining to each Mortgage Loan, or (b) make the Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser for examination at the Seller's offices or such other location as shall otherwise be agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Seller. Such examination may be made by the Purchaser or by any prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans from the Purchaser, at any time before or after such related Closing Date, upon prior reasonable notice to the Seller. The fact that the Purchaser or any prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the Purchaser's (or any of its successor's) rights to demand repurchase, substitution or other relief as provided under the Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement.

Prior to Seller’s receipt of the Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall cause the Custodian to act as bailee for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Seller pursuant to the Custodial Agreement and act only in accordance with Seller’s instructions. Upon the Seller’s receipt of the Purchase Price, the Seller shall provide notification to the Custodian to release ownership of the Mortgage Loan Documents contained in the Custodial Mortgage File. Such notification shall be in a form of a written notice by facsimile or other electronic media, with a copy sent to the Purchaser. Subsequent to such release, such Mortgage Loan Documents shall be retained by the Custodian for the benefit of the Purchaser. All Mortgage Loan Documents related to Mortgage Loans not purchased by the Purchaser on the Closing Date, shall be maintained by the Custodian for the benefit of the Seller and shall be returned to the Seller within two (2) Business Days after the Closing Date.

SECTION 6.Representations, Warranties and Agreements of Seller. The Seller agrees and acknowledges that it shall, as a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, make the representations and warranties specified in Section 3.01 and 3.02 of the Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement, as of each related Closing Date. The meaning of the term "Agreement" as used in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 of the Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement shall include this Agreement. The Seller, without conceding that the Mortgage Loans are securities, hereby makes the following additional representations, warranties and agreements which shall be deemed to have been made as of the related Closing Date:

b)the Seller has not dealt with any broker or agent or anyone else who might be entitled to a fee or commission in connection with this transaction other than the Purchaser.

SECTION 7.Representation, Warranties and Agreement of Purchaser. The Purchaser, without conceding that the Mortgage Loans are securities, hereby makes the following representations, warranties and agreements, which shall have been deemed to have been made as of the related Closing Date.

e)neither the Purchaser nor anyone acting on its behalf offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of any Mortgage Loan, any interest in any Mortgage Loan or any other similar security to, or solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of any Mortgage Loan, any interest in any Mortgage Loan or any other similar security from, or otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to any Mortgage Loan, any interest in any Mortgage Loan or any other similar security with, any person in any manner, or made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or taken any other action which would constitute a distribution of the Mortgage Loans under the Securities Act or which would render the disposition of any Mortgage Loan a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or require registration pursuant thereto, nor will it act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize any person to act, in such manner with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

SECTION 8.Closing. The closing for the purchase and sale of each Loan Package shall take place on the related Closing Date. At the Purchaser's option, the Closing shall be either: by telephone, confirmed by letter or wire as the parties shall agree; or conducted in person, at such place as the parties shall agree.

The closing shall be subject to each of the following conditions:

a)all of the representations and warranties of the Seller under this Agreement and under the Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement shall be true and correct as of such related Closing Date and no event shall have occurred which, with notice or the passage of time, would constitute a default under this Agreement or an Event of Default under the Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement;

b)the Purchaser shall have received, or the Purchaser's attorneys shall have received in escrow, all Closing Documents as specified in Section 9 of this Agreement, in such forms as are agreed upon and acceptable to the Purchaser, duly executed by all signatories other than the Purchaser as required pursuant to the respective terms thereof;

c)the Seller shall have delivered and released to the Custodian under the Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement all documents required pursuant to the related Custodial Agreement, and

SECTION 9.Closing Documents. With respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Closing Documents shall consist of the following documents:

On the initial Closing Date:

2.   an Assignment and Conveyance Agreement for the related Mortgage Loans; and

3.   a Receipt and Certification, as required under the Custodial Agreement.

SECTION 10.Costs. The Purchaser shall pay any commissions due its salesmen, the legal fees and expenses of its attorneys and the costs and expenses associated with the Custodian. The Seller shall be responsible for reasonable costs and expenses associated with any preparation of the initial assignments of mortgage. All other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transfer and delivery of the Mortgage Loans, including fees for title policy endorsements and continuations and the Seller's attorney fees, shall be paid by the Seller.

SECTION 11.Servicing The Mortgage Loans shall be serviced by the Seller in accordance with the terms of the Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement. The Seller shall be entitled to servicing fees calculated as provided therein, at the Servicing Fee Rate.

SECTION 12.Financial Statements. The Seller understands that in connection with the Purchaser's marketing of the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser shall make available to prospective purchasers a Consolidated Statement of Operations of the Seller for the most recently completed two fiscal years respecting which such a statement is available, as well as a Consolidated Statement of Condition at the end of the last two (2) fiscal years covered by such Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Purchaser shall also make available any comparable interim statements to the extent any such statements have been prepared by the seller in a format intended or otherwise suitable for the public at large. The Seller, if it has not already done so, agrees to furnish promptly to the Purchaser copies of the statements specified above. The Seller shall also make available information on its servicing performance with respect to loans in its own portfolio and loans serviced for others (if any), including foreclosure and delinquency ratios.

SECTION 13.Mandatory Delivery. The sale and delivery on each Closing Date of the related Mortgage Loans described on the respective Mortgage Loan Schedules is mandatory, it being specifically understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan must be unique and identifiable on such related Closing Date and that an award of money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser (including damages to prospective purchasers of the Mortgage Loans) in the event of the Seller's failure to deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before such related Closing Date. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.

SECTION 14.Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or, if by other means, when received by the other party at the address shown on the first page hereof, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the other party by like notice. Any such demand, notice of communication hereunder shall be deemed to have been received on the date delivered to or received at the premises of the addressee (as evidenced, in the case of registered or certified mail, by the date noted on the return receipt).

SECTION 15.Severability Clause. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction, to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof. If the invalidity of any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate, in good-faith, to develop a structure the economic effect of which is as close as possible to the economic effect of this Agreement without regard to such invalidity.

SECTION 16.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

SECTION 17.Place of Delivery and Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed in effect when a fully executed counterpart thereof is received by the Purchaser in the State of New York and shall be deemed to have been made in State of New York. The Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent preempted by Federal Law.

Each of the Seller and the Purchaser hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waives any and all rights it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation based on, or arising out of, under, or in connection with, this Agreement, or any other documents and instruments executed in connection herewith, or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether oral or written), or actions of the Seller or the Purchaser. This provision is a material inducement for the Purchaser to enter into this Agreement.

SECTION 18.Further Agreements. The Purchaser and the Seller each agree to execute and deliver to the other such additional documents, instruments or agreements as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller shall reasonably cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with the initial resales of the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser. In that connection, the Seller shall provide to the Purchaser: (i) any and all information and appropriate verification of information, whether through letters of its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser shall reasonably request, and (ii) such additional representations, warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from auditors and certificates of public officials or officers of the Seller as are reasonably believed necessary by the Purchaser in connection with such resales. The requirement of the Seller pursuant to (ii) above shall terminate on the related Closing Date, except as provided pursuant to Article IX of the Master Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement. Prior to incurring any out-of-pocket expenses pursuant to this paragraph, the Seller shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the estimated amount of such expense. The Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller for any such expense following its receipt of appropriate details thereof.

SECTION 19.Intention of the Parties. It is the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling, an undivided 100% ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of the Seller or another security. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction for Federal income tax purposes as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser shall have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan Files to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which shall affect the Federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller shall cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such review.

SECTION 20.Successors and Assigns; Assignment of Purchase Agreement. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Seller and the Purchaser and the respective successors and assigns of the Seller and the Purchaser. This Agreement shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Seller to a third party without the consent of the Purchaser.

SECTION 21. Waivers; Other Agreements. No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.

SECTION 22. Exhibits. The exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement.

SECTION 23. General Interpretive Principles. For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires:

a)the terms defined in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement and include the plural as well as the singular, and the use of any gender herein shall be deemed to include the other gender;

Re:Mortgage Loan Sale by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Company”) to EMC Mortgage Corporation (the “Purchaser”) of first lien mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Master Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement and Amended and Restated Master Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and the Purchaser, dated as of November 1, 2005.

Dear Sir/Madam:

I am @ of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and have acted as counsel to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Company”), with respect to certain matters in connection with the sale by the Company of Mortgage Loans pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Master Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement and Amended and Restated Master Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and EMC Mortgage Corporation (the “Purchaser”), dated as of November 1, 2005, (the “Agreements”), which sale is in the form of whole Mortgage Loans. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Amended and Restated Master Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement.

I have examined the following documents:

1.   the Amended and Restated Master Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement;

2.   the Amended and Restated Master Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement;

3.   the Custodial Agreement;

4.   the form of endorsement of the Mortgage Notes; and

5.   such other documents, records and papers as I have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis for this opinion.

To the extent I have deemed necessary and proper, I have relied upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Agreements. I have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all documents.

Based upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that;

1. The Company is a national banking association duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States.

2. The Company has the power to engage in the transactions contemplated by the Agreements, the Custodial Agreement and all requisite power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Agreements, the Custodial Agreement and the Mortgage Loans, and to perform and observe the terms and conditions of such instruments.

3. Each person who, as an officer or attorney-in-fact of the Company, signed (a) the Agreements, each dated as of November 1, 2005, by and between the Company and the Purchaser, and (b) any other document delivered prior hereto or on the date hereof in connection with the sale and servicing of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Agreements was, at the respective times of such signing and delivery, and is, as of the date hereof, duly elected or appointed, qualified and acting as such officer or attorney-in-fact, and the signatures of such persons appearing on such documents are their genuine signatures.

4. Each of the Agreements, the Custodial Agreement, and the Mortgage Loans, has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and is a legal, valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of insolvency, liquidation, convervatorship and other similar laws administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation affecting the enforcement of contract obligations of insured banks and subject to the application of the rules of equity, including those respecting the availability of specific performance, none of which will materially interfere with the realization of the benefits provided thereunder or with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans.

5. The Company has been duly authorized to allow any of its officers to execute any and all documents by original signature in order to complete the transactions contemplated by the Agreements and the Custodial Agreement, and by original or facsimile signature in order to execute the endorsements to the Mortgage Notes and the assignments of the Mortgages, and the original or facsimile signature of the officer at the Company executing the endorsements to the Mortgage Notes and the assignments of the Mortgages represents the legal and valid signature of said officer of the Company.

6. Either (i) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of or compliance by the Company with the Agreements, the Custodial Agreement or the sale and delivery of the Mortgage Loans or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreements, and the Custodial Agreement; or (ii) any required consent, approval, authorization or order has been obtained by the Company.

7. Neither the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, nor the fulfillment of the terms of the Agreements and the Custodial Agreement, will conflict with or results in or will result in a breach of or constitutes or will constitute a default under the charter or by-laws of the Company, the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or to which it is subject, or violates any statute or order, rule, regulations, writ, injunction or decree of any court, governmental authority or regulatory body to which the Company is subject or by which it is bound.

8. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened against the Company which, in my opinion, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, may result in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Company or in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Company to carry on its business substantially as now conducted or in any material liability on the part of the Company or which would draw into question the validity of the Agreements, and the Custodial Agreement, or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Company to perform under the terms of the Agreements and the Custodial Agreement.

9. For purposes of the foregoing, I have not regarded any legal or governmental actions, investigations or proceedings to be "threatened" unless the potential litigant or governmental authority has manifested to the legal department of the Company or an employee of the Company responsible for the receipt of process a present intention to initiate such proceedings; nor have I regarded any legal or governmental actions, investigations or proceedings as including those that are conducted by state or federal authorities in connection with their routine regulatory activities. The sale of each Mortgage Note and Mortgage as and in the manner contemplated by the Agreements is sufficient fully to transfer all right, title and interest of the Company thereto as noteholder and mortgagee, apart from the rights to service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the Agreements.

10. The form of endorsement that is to be used with respect to the Mortgage Loans is legally valid and sufficient to duly endorse the Mortgage Notes to the Purchaser. Upon the completion of the endorsement of the Mortgage Notes and the completion of the assignments of the Mortgages, and the recording thereof, the endorsement of the Mortgage Notes, the delivery to the Custodian of the completed assignments of the Mortgages, and the delivery of the original endorsed Mortgage Notes to the Custodian would be sufficient to permit the entity to which such Mortgage Note is initially endorsed at the Purchaser’s direction, and to whom such assignment of Mortgages is initially assigned at the Purchaser’s direction, to avail itself of all protection available under applicable law against the claims of any present or future creditors of the Company, and would be sufficient to prevent any other sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Mortgages and the Mortgage Notes by the Company from being enforceable.

This opinion is given to you for your sole benefit, and no other person or entity is entitled to rely hereon except that the purchaser or purchasers to which you initially and directly resell the Mortgage Loans may rely on this opinion as if it were addressed to them as of its date.

Sincerely,

@

The Servicer shall keep at its servicing office books and records in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe from time to time, the Servicer shall note transfers of Mortgage Loans. No transfer of a Mortgage Loan may be made unless such transfer is in compliance with the terms hereof. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be under no obligation to deal with any person with respect to this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan unless a notice of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan has been delivered to the Servicer in accordance with this Section 2.04. The Owner may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, sell and transfer one or more of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Sections 10.02 and 11.12, provided, however, that the transferee will not be deemed to be an Owner hereunder binding upon the Servicer unless such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and an assignment and assumption of this Agreement reasonably acceptable to the Servicer. The Owner also shall advise the Servicer in writing of the transfer. Upon receipt of notice of the permitted transfer, the Servicer shall mark its books and records to reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans of such assignee, and shall release the previous Owner from its obligations hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans sold or transferred.

Section 2.05 Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.

The Servicer shall forward to the Custodian on behalf of the Owner original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with Section 4.01 or 6.01 promptly after their execution; provided, however, that the Servicer shall provide the Custodian on behalf of the Owner with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation promptly after its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within 180 days of its execution. If delivery is not completed within 180 days solely due to delays in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Servicer shall continue to use its best efforts to effect delivery as soon as possible thereafter.

From time to time the Servicer may have a need for Mortgage Loan Documents to be released by the Custodian. If the Servicer shall require any of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Servicer shall notify the Custodian in writing of such request in the form of the request for release attached hereto as Exhibit D. The Custodian shall deliver to the Servicer promptly, and in no event later than within five (5) Business Days, any requested Mortgage Loan Document previously delivered to the Custodian, provided that such documentation is promptly returned to the Custodian when the Servicer no longer requires possession of the document, and provided that during the time that any such documentation is held by the Servicer, such possession is in trust for the benefit of the Owner.

Section 2.06 Quality Control Procedures.

The Servicer must have an internal quality control program that verifies, on a regular basis, the existence and accuracy of the legal documents, credit documents, property appraisals, and underwriting decisions. The program must be capable of evaluating and monitoring the overall quality of its servicing activities. The purpose of the program is to ensure that the Mortgage Loans are serviced in accordance with prudent mortgage banking practices and accounting principles; guard against dishonest, fraudulent, or negligent acts; and guard against errors and omissions by officers, employees, or other authorized persons.

With respect to escrow deposits and payments that the Servicer collects, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Servicer, and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits or other charges or payments due under the Mortgage Note have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 4.01 Servicer to Act as Servicer.

The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices (giving due consideration to the Owner's reliance on the Servicer), and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices and shall exercise the same care that it customarily employs for its own account. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices in compliance with the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guide, which include, but are not limited to, provisions regarding the liquidation of Mortgage Loans, the collection of Mortgage Loan payments, the payment of taxes, insurance and other charges, the maintenance of hazard insurance with a Qualified Insurer, the maintenance of fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance, inspections, the restoration of Mortgaged Property, the maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, insurance claims, and title insurance, management of REO Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property, the transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Loan Documents, annual statements, and examination of records and facilities. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing provisions of this Agreement and any of the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guide, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and be binding upon the Owner and the Servicer. The Owner shall, upon reasonable request, deliver powers-of-attorney to the Servicer sufficient to allow the Servicer as servicer to execute all documentation requiring execution on behalf of Owner with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, including satisfactions, partial releases, modifications and foreclosure documentation or, in the alternative, shall as promptly as reasonably possible, execute and return such documentation to the Servicer.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Owner, provided, however, that unless the Servicer has obtained the prior written consent of the Owner, the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such modification which has been agreed to in writing by the Owner and which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 4.04 and Section 5.03, the difference between (a) such month's principal and one month's interest at the related Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances pursuant to Section 4.05. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties.

The Servicer shall perform all of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may, with the Owner's prior written approval, cause a subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Servicer of a subservicer shall not release the Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and the Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of each subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Servicer. Any such subservicer that the Owner shall be requested to consent to must be a Fannie Mae approved seller/servicer or a Freddie Mac seller/servicer in good standing and no event shall have occurred, including but not limited to, a change in insurance coverage, which would make it unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for lenders imposed by Fannie Mae or for seller/servicers by Freddie Mac, or which would require notification to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of each subservicer from its own funds, and a subservicer's fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee.

At the cost and expense of the Servicer, without any right of reimbursement from the Custodial Account, the Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of a subservicer and arrange, with the Owner's prior written approval, for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor subservicer meeting the requirements in the preceding paragraph, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Servicer, at the Servicer's option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01, and if requested to do so by the Owner, the Servicer shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of each subservicer effective as of the date of termination of the Servicer. The Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of each subservicer from the Servicer's own funds without reimbursement from the Owner.

Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a subservicer or any reference herein to actions taken through a subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall not be relieved of its obligations to the Owner and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with a subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by the subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

Any subservicing agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a subservicer shall be deemed to be between such subservicer and Servicer alone, and the Owner shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to such Subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of Owner to pay such subservicer's fees and expenses. For purposes of distributions and advances by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when a subservicer has received such payment.

Section 4.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the Effective Date until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the Servicer will proceed with reasonable diligence to collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Further, the Servicer will take reasonable care in ascertaining and estimating annual ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

Section 4.03 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Servicer would use in servicing loans for its own account and the requirements of the Fannie Mae Guide, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans 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 4.01. The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Owner, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Owner after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Servicer through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. The Servicer shall notify the Owner in writing of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings. The Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings or functions as Servicing Advances; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Owner otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall promptly provide the Owner with a written report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Owner shall determine how the Servicer shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

Section 4.04 Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.

The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts. Each Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository. To the extent such funds are not deposited in a Custodial Account, such funds may be invested in Permitted Investments for the benefit of the Owner (with any income earned thereon for the benefit of the Servicer). Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit B hereto. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Owner upon request. The Servicer acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer shall bear any losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments. The amount of any such losses shall be immediately deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account, as appropriate, out of the Servicer's own funds, with no right to reimbursement therefor.

The Servicer shall deposit in a mortgage clearing account on a daily basis, and in the Custodial Account or Accounts no later than the second Business Day after receipt of funds and retain therein the following payments and collections:

(i)all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans received after the Cut-off Date;

(ii)all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the related Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate received after the Cut-off Date;

(iii)all Liquidation Proceeds and REO Disposition Proceeds received after the Cut-off Date;

(iv)any net amounts received by the Servicer after the Cut-off Date in connection with any REO Property pursuant to Section 4.13;

(v)all Insurance Proceeds received after the Cut-off Date including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Sections 4.08 and 4.10, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;

(vi)all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property received after the Cut-off Date other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;

(vii)any Monthly Advances as provided in Section 5.03;

(viii)any amounts received after the Cut-off Date and required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to 6.02; and

(ix)with respect to each full or partial Principal Prepayment received after the Cut-off date, any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, to the extent of the Servicer’s aggregate Servicing Fee received with respect to the related Due Period.

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the Qualified Depository shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer and the Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05(iv).

Section 4.05 Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.

The Servicer may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i) to make payments to the Owner in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01;

(ii) to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Servicer's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made;

(iii) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and unreimbursed Monthly Advances, the Servicer's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received after the Cut-off Date related to such Mortgage Loan;

(iv) to pay to itself as servicing compensation (a) any interest earned on funds in the Custodial Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Remittance Date) and (b) any payable Servicing Fee;

(v) to reimburse itself for any Nonrecoverable Advances:

(vi) to transfer funds to another Qualified Depository in accordance with Section 4.09 hereof;

(vii) to remove funds inadvertently placed in the Custodial Account in error by the Servicer; and

(viii) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.06 Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts.

The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts. Each Escrow Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository. To the extent such funds are not deposited in an Escrow Account, such funds may be invested in Permitted Investments. Funds deposited in an Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit C. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Owner upon request. The Servicer acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer shall bear any losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments. The amount of any such losses shall be immediately deposited by the Servicer in the Escrow Account, as appropriate, out of the Servicer's own funds, with no right to reimbursement therefor.

The Servicer shall deposit in a mortgage clearing account on a daily basis, and in the Escrow Account or Accounts no later than the second Business Day after receipt of funds and retain therein:

(i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any items as are required under the terms of this Agreement;

(ii) all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property; and

(iii) all Servicing Advances for Mortgagors whose Escrow Payments are insufficient to cover escrow disbursements.

The Servicer shall make withdrawals from an Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set forth in and in accordance with Section 4.07. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in an Escrow Account by the Qualified Depository other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.

Section 4.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Servicer only:

(i)to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, fire and hazard insurance premiums, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, and comparable items;

(ii)to reimburse Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;

(iii)to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages;

(iv)for transfer to the Custodial Account in connection with an acquisition of REO Property;

(v)for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property;

(vi)to pay to the Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account;

(vii)to pay to the Mortgagors or other parties Insurance Proceeds deposited in accordance with Section 4.06;

(viii)to remove funds inadvertently placed in an Escrow Account in error by the Servicer; and

(ix)to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement.

As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in an Escrow Account, to the extent required by law, and to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient, shall pay such interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.

Section 4.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

The Servicer will maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be maintained until the ratio of the current outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan to the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property, based on the most recent appraisal of the Mortgaged Property performed by a Qualified Appraiser, such appraisal to be included in the Servicing File, is reduced to 80.00% or less. The Servicer will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Owner, claims to the insurer under any Private Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.09 Transfer of Accounts.

The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time. The Servicer shall notify the Owner of any such transfer within 15 Business Days of transfer.

Section 4.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) the percentage such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as being a special flood hazard area that has federally-mandated flood insurance requirements, the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. The Servicer shall also maintain on the REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need be required by the Servicer or the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans, other than pursuant to the Fannie Mae Guide or such applicable state or federal laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount or material change in coverage to the Servicer. The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies currently reflect a General Policy Rating in Best's Key Rating Guide currently acceptable to Fannie Mae and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the property subject to the policy is located.

Section 4.11 Adjustments to Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment.

On each applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate shall be adjusted, in compliance with the requirements of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note, to equal the sum of the Index plus the Margin (rounded in accordance with the related Mortgage Note) subject to the applicable Periodic Rate Cap and Lifetime Rate Cap, as set forth in the Mortgage Note. The Servicer shall execute and deliver the notices required by each Mortgage and Mortgage Note and applicable laws and regulations regarding interest rate adjustments.

Section 4.12 Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans and who handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. The Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such Fidelity Bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Fannie Mae in the Fannie Mae Guide or by Freddie Mac in the Freddie Mac Guide. The Servicer shall, upon request of Owner, deliver to the Owner a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty days prior written notice to the Owner. The Servicer shall notify the Owner within five Business Days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. The Owner and its successors or assigns as their interests may appear must be named as loss payees on the Fidelity Bond and as additional insured on the errors and omissions policy.

Section 4.13 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Owner or its designee. Any such Person or Persons holding such title other than the Owner shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Owner.

The Servicer shall notify the Owner in accordance with prudent servicing practices of each acquisition of REO Property upon such acquisition, and thereafter assume the responsibility for marketing such REO Property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Servicer shall continue to provide certain administrative services to the Owner relating to such REO Property as set forth in this Section 4.13. The REO Property must be sold within three years following the end of the calendar year of the date of acquisition, unless a REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held and (i) the Owner shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the related trust of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such three-year period (and specifying the period beyond such three-year period for which the Mortgaged Property may be held) will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of the related trust as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, in which case the related trust may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel), or (ii) the Owner (at the Servicer’s expense) or the Servicer shall have applied for, prior to the expiration of such three-year period, an extension of such three-year period in the manner contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the Code, in which case the three-year period shall be extended by the applicable period. If a period longer than three years is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, (i) the Servicer shall report monthly to the Owner as to progress being made in selling such REO Property and (ii) if, with the written consent of the Owner, a purchase money mortgage is taken in connection with such sale, such purchase money mortgage shall name the Servicer as mortgagee, and such purchase money mortgage shall not be held pursuant to this Agreement, but instead a separate participation agreement between the Servicer and Owner shall be entered into with respect to such purchase money mortgage.

The Servicer shall not permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in any REMIC. The Servicer shall not enter into any arrangement by which a REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit a 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.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a REMIC election has been made, no Mortgaged Property held by a REMIC shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the related trust or sold in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify at any time as “foreclosure property” within a meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, (ii) subject the related trust to the imposition of any federal or state income taxes on “net income from foreclosure property” with respect to such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of Section 860G(c) of the Code, or (iii) cause the sale of such Mortgaged Property to result in the receipt by the related trust or any income from non-permitted assets as described in Section 860F(a) (2)(B) of the Code, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the related trust with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.

The Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, and in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guide, manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Owner. The REO Disposition Proceeds from the sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. As soon as practical thereafter, the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Servicer shall reimburse itself for any related Servicing Advances, or Monthly Advances made pursuant to Section 5.03.

The Servicer shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least monthly thereafter or more frequently as may be required by the circumstances. The Servicer shall make or cause the inspector to make a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Servicing File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the Owner.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4.13, the parties hereto hereby agree that the Owner, at its option, shall be entitled to manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for its own benefit (such option, an "REO Option"). In connection with the exercise of an REO Option, the prior two paragraphs and the related provisions of Section 4.03 and Section 4.04(iii) (such provisions, the “REO Marketing Provisions”) shall be revised as follows. Following the acquisition of any Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall submit a detailed invoice to the Owner for all related Servicing Advances and, upon exercising the REO Option, the Owner shall promptly reimburse the Servicer for such amounts. In the event the REO Option is exercised with respect to an REO Property, Section 4.04 (iii) shall not be applicable thereto. References made in Section 4.03 with respect to the reimbursement of Servicing Advances shall, for purposes of such REO Property, be deemed to be covered by this paragraph. The Owner acknowledges that, in the event it exercises an REO Option, with respect to the related REO Property, there shall be no breach by the Servicer based upon or arising out of the Servicer's failure to comply with the REO Marketing Provisions.

ARTICLE V

PAYMENTS TO THE OWNER

Section 5.01 Remittances.

On each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Owner (i) all amounts credited to the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the related preceding Determination Date, except (a) Partial Principal Prepayments received on or after the first day of the month in which the Remittance Date occurs shall be remitted to the Owner on the next following Remittance Date, (b) Full Principal Prepayments received on or before the 15^th day of the month in which a Remittance Date occurs shall be remitted to the Owner on the Remittance Date of such month, and (c) Full Principal Prepayments received after the 15^th day of the month shall be remitted to the Owner on the next following Remittance Date, each net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05, plus, to the extent not already deposited in the Custodial Account, the sum of (ii) all Monthly Advances, if any, which the Servicer is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 5.03 and (iii) all Prepayment Interest Shortfalls the Servicer is required to make up pursuant to Section 4.04, minus (iv) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected after the Cut-off Date but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the last day of the related Due Period, which amounts shall be remitted on the related Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period for such amounts.

With respect to any remittance received by the Owner after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Servicer shall pay to the Owner interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus two percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Servicer on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following such Business Day and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with the distribution payable on the next succeeding related Remittance Date. The payment by the Servicer of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Servicer.

Section 5.02 Statements to the Owner.

The Servicer shall furnish to the Owner an individual Mortgage Loan accounting report (a “Report”), as of the last Business Day of each month, in the Servicer's assigned loan number order to document Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual Mortgage Loan basis. With respect to each month, such Report shall be received by the Owner (i) no later than the fifth Business Day of the following month of the related Remittance Date on a disk or tape or other computer-readable format, in such format as may be mutually agreed upon by both the Owner and the Servicer, and (ii) no later than the tenth Business Day of the following month of the related Remittance Date in hard copy, which Report shall contain the following:

(i)   with respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to interest

(ii)   the amount of servicing compensation received by the Servicer during the prior distribution period;

(iii)   the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans;

(iv)   the number and aggregate outstanding principal balances of Mortgage Loans (a) delinquent (1) 30 to 59 days, (2) 60 to 89 days, (3) 90 days or more; (b) as to which foreclosure has commenced; and (c) as to which REO Property has been acquired; and

(v)   such other reports as may reasonably be required by the Owner.

The Servicer shall also provide a trial balance, sorted in the Owner's assigned loan number order, and such other loan level scheduled-scheduled remittance information as described on Exhibit E, in electronic tape form, with each such Report.

The Servicer shall prepare and file any and all information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority or to Owner pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the Servicer shall provide the Owner with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for the Owner to prepare its federal income tax return as the Owner may reasonably request from time to time.

In addition, not more than 60 days after the end of each calendar year, the Servicer shall furnish to each Person who was an Owner at any time during such calendar year an annual statement in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal income tax law as to the aggregate of remittances of principal and interest for the applicable portion of such year.

Section 5.03 Monthly Advances by the Servicer.

Not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all payments not previously advanced by the Servicer, whether or not deferred pursuant to Section 4.01, of Monthly Payments, adjusted to the related Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate, which are delinquent at the close of business on the related Determination Date; provided, however, that the amount of any such deposit may be reduced by (i) the Amount Held for Future Distribution (as defined below) then on deposit in the Custodial Account, plus (ii) with respect to the initial Remittance Date, the Non-held Early Pay Amount (as defined below). Any portion of the Amount Held for Future Distribution used to pay Monthly Advances shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit into the Custodial Account on any future Remittance Date to the extent that the funds that are available in the Custodial Account for remittance to the Owner on such Remittance Date are less than the amount of payments required to be made to the Owner on such Remittance Date.

The “Amount Held for Future Distribution” as to any Remittance Date shall be the total of the amounts held in the Custodial Account at the close of business on the preceding Determination Date which were received after the Cut-off Date on account of (i) Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, and Partial Principal Prepayments received or made in the month of such Remittance Date, (ii) Full Principal Payments received after the 15^th day of the month in the month of such Remittance Date, and (iii) payments which represent early receipt of scheduled payments of principal and interest due on a date or dates subsequent to the related Due Date. The "Non-held Early Pay Amount" shall be the total of the amounts on account of payments which represent early receipt of scheduled payments of principal and interest received on or prior to the Cut-off Date.

The Servicer's obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the final disposition or liquidation of the Mortgaged Property, unless the Servicer deems such advance to be nonrecoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, REO Disposition Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan. In such latter event, the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner an Officer's Certificate of the Servicer to the effect that an officer of the Servicer has reviewed the related Servicing File and has obtained a recent appraisal and has made the reasonable determination that any additional advances are nonrecoverable from Liquidation or Insurance Proceeds with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan.

Section 5.04 Liquidation Reports.

Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Owner pursuant to a deed-in--lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall submit to the Owner a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property in such form as the Servicer and the Owner shall agree. The Servicer shall also provide reports on the status of REO Property containing such information as Owner may reasonably require.

ARTICLE VI

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

Section 6.01 Assumption Agreements.

The Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of a Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of, sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, the Servicer, with the approval of the Owner (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), will enter into an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 6.01, the Servicer, with the prior consent of the primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement.

In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the Fannie Mae Guide. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note and the amount of the Monthly Payment may not be changed. The Servicer shall notify the Owner that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Owner the original of any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage Loan Documents and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such related mortgage file to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. All fees collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Servicer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this section 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 any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 6.01, 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 6.02 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Loan Documents.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will immediately notify the Custodian with a certification and request for release by a Servicing Officer, which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04 have been so deposited, and a request for delivery to the Servicer of the portion of the Mortgage Loan Documents held by the Custodian, and unless the related Mortgage Loans are the subject of a Pass-Through Transfer, such request is to be acknowledged by the Owner. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Owner shall promptly release or cause the Custodian to promptly release the related Mortgage Loan Documents to the Servicer and the Servicer shall prepare and deliver for execution by the Owner or at the Owner's option execute under the authority of a power of attorney delivered to the Servicer by the Owner any satisfaction or release. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account.

In the event the Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Owner may have under the mortgage instruments, the Servicer, upon written demand, shall remit within two Business Days to the Owner the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall maintain the Fidelity Bond insuring the Servicer against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loans, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer (and unless the related Mortgage Loans are the subject of a Pass-Through Transfer, acknowledged by the Owner), the Custodian shall release the portion of the Mortgage Loan Documents held by the Custodian to the Servicer. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Servicer to promptly return the related Mortgage Loan Documents to the Custodian, when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or such documents have 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 Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer has promptly delivered to the Owner or the Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such documents were delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Owner or the Custodian, as applicable, to the Servicer.

Section 6.03 Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account or to retain from interest payments on the Mortgage Loans the amounts provided for as the Servicer's Servicing Fee. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 6.01, late payment charges and other ancillary fees shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for.

Section 6.04 Annual Statement as to Compliance.

The Servicer will deliver to the Owner not later than 90 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer, an Officers' Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officers and the nature and status thereof except for such defaults as such Officers in their good faith judgment believe to be immaterial.

Section 6.05 Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants' Servicing Report.

Not later than 90 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer, the Servicer at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Owner to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the Servicer's servicing of mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans pursuant to servicing agreements substantially similar to this Agreement, which agreements may include this Agreement, and that, on the basis of such an examination, conducted substantially in accordance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such firm is of the opinion that the Servicer's servicing has been conducted in compliance with the agreements examined pursuant to this Section 6.05, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement.

Section 6.06 Owner's Right to Examine Servicer Records.

The Owner shall have the right to examine and audit, at its expense, upon reasonable notice to the Servicer, during business hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under applicable circumstances, any and all of the books, records, documentation or other information of the Servicer, or held by another for the Servicer or on its behalf or otherwise, which relate to the performance or observance by the Servicer of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement.

The Servicer shall provide to the Owner and any supervisory agents or examiners representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Owner, including but not limited to OTS, FDIC and other similar entities, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in the possession of the Servicer which may be required by any applicable regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, upon reasonable request, during normal business hours and at the offices of the Servicer, and in accordance with the applicable federal government agency, FDIC, OTS, or any other similar regulations.

Section 6.07 Compliance with REMIC Provisions.

If a REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held, the Servicer shall not take any action, cause the REMIC 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 the REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on “contribution” to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code unless the Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such actions) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such REMIC status or result in the imposition of any such tax.

Section 6.08 Non-solicitation.

The Servicer shall not knowingly conduct any solicitation exclusively targeted to the Mortgagors for the purpose of inducing or encouraging the early prepayment or refinancing of the related Mortgage Loans. It is understood and agreed that promotions undertaken by the Servicer or any agent or affiliate of the Servicer which are directed to the general public at large, including, without limitation, mass mailings based on commercially acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio and television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation under this section. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Servicer from (i) distributing to Mortgagors any general advertising including information brochures, coupon books, or other similar documentation which indicates services the Seller offers, including refinances or (ii) providing financing of home equity loans to Mortgagors at the Mortgagor’s request.

ARTICLE VII

REPORTS TO BE PREPARED BY SERVICER

Section 7.01 Servicer Shall Provide Information as Reasonably Required.

The Servicer shall furnish to the Owner upon request, during the term of this Agreement, such periodic, special or other reports or information, whether or not provided for herein, as shall be necessary, reasonable or appropriate with respect to the purposes of this Agreement. The Servicer may negotiate with the Owner for a reasonable fee for providing such report or information, unless (i) the Servicer is required to supply such report or information pursuant to any other section of this Agreement, or (ii) the report or information has been requested in connection with Internal Revenue Service, OTS, FDIC or other regulatory agency requirements. All such reports or information shall be provided by and in accordance with all reasonable instructions and directions given by the Owner. The Servicer agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Owner, from time to time, may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

THE SERVICER

Section 8.01 Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Owner and hold it harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Owner may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform in any way its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement and for breach of any representation or warranty of the Servicer contained herein. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Owner if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the consent of the Owner and with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Owner) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or the Owner in respect of such claim but failure to so notify the Owner shall not limit its obligations hereunder. The Servicer agrees that it will not enter into any settlement of any such claim without the consent of the Owner unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Owner from all liability that is the subject matter of such claim. The provisions of this Section 8.01 shall survive termination of this Agreement. In no event will either Purchaser or Seller be liable to the other party to this Agreement for incidental or consequential damages, including, without limitation, loss of profit or loss of business or business opportunity, regardless of the form of action whether in contract, tort or otherwise.

Section 8.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer.

The Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation except as permitted herein, and 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 or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Servicer whether or not related to loan servicing, shall be the successor of the Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution (i) having a GAAP net worth of not less than $25,000,000, (ii) the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC, SAIF and/or BIF, or which is a HUD-approved mortgagee whose primary business is in origination and servicing of first lien mortgage loans, and (iii) which is a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing.

Section 8.03 Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others.

Neither the Servicer nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Owner 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 made in good faith; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform in any way its obligations in compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of negligence or any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Servicer and any officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by the Owner respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may, with the consent of the Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, 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. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Owner will be liable, and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Owner upon written demand.

Section 8.04 Servicer Not to Resign.

The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Servicer and the Owner or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Owner which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Owner. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 11.01.

Section 8.05 No Transfer of Servicing.

With respect to the retention of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Servicer acknowledges that the Owner has acted in reliance upon the Servicer's independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plan, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this section, the Servicer shall not either assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Owner, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that the Servicer may assign the Agreement and the servicing hereunder without the consent of Owner to an affiliate of the Servicer to which all servicing of the Servicer is assigned so long as (i) such affiliate is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved servicer and (ii) if it is intended that such affiliate be spun off to the shareholders of the Servicer, such affiliate have a GAAP net worth of at least $10,000,000 and (iii) such affiliate shall deliver to the Owner a certification pursuant to which such affiliate shall agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall certify that such affiliate is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved servicer in good standing.

ARTICLE IX

DEFAULT

Section 9.01 Events of Default.

In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the Servicer shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:

(i)any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Owner any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of three (3) Business Days after written notice thereof (it being understood that this subparagraph shall not affect Servicer's obligation pursuant to Section 5.01 to pay default interest on any remittance received by the Owner after the Business Day on which such payment was due); or

(ii)any failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement, the breach of which has a material adverse effect and which continue unremedied for a period of sixty days (except that such number of days shall be fifteen in the case of a failure to pay any premium for any insurance policy required to be maintained under this Agreement and such failure shall be deemed to have a material adverse effect) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Owner; or

(iii)a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty days; or

(iv)the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer 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 or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

(vi)the Servicer ceases to be approved by either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (to the extent such entities are then operating in a capacity similar to that in which they operate on the Closing Date) as a mortgage loan servicer for more than thirty days to the extent such entities perform similar functions; or

(vii)the Servicer attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder or the Servicer attempts, without the consent of the Owner, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets or to assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof except as otherwise permitted herein.

then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Owner, by notice in writing to the Servicer may, in addition to whatever rights the Owner may have under Section 8.01 and at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same. 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 Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 11.01. Upon written request from the Owner, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor's possession all Servicing Files, and 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, at the Servicer's sole expense. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Owner and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.

Section 9.02 Waiver of Defaults.

The Owner may waive only by written notice any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived in writing.

ARTICLE X

TERMINATION

Section 10.01 Termination.

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer shall terminate upon: (i) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or the disposition of all REO Property and the remittance of all funds due hereunder; or (ii) by mutual consent of the Servicer and the Owner in writing; or (iii) termination by the Owner pursuant to Section 9.01. Simultaneously with any such termination and the transfer of servicing hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for any outstanding Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances.

Section 10.02 Removal of Mortgage Loans from Inclusion under this Agreement upon a Whole Loan Transfer or a Pass-Through Transfer.

The Servicer acknowledges and the Owner agrees that with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, the Owner may effect either (1) one or more Whole Loan Transfers, or (2) one or more Pass-Through Transfers.

The Servicer shall cooperate with the Owner in connection with any Whole Loan Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer contemplated by the Owner pursuant to this Section. In connection therewith, and without limitation, the Owner shall deliver any reconstitution agreement or other document related to the Whole Loan Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer to the Servicer at least 15 days prior to such transfer (or 30 days if such transfer is to take place in March, June, September or December) and the Servicer shall execute any such reconstitution agreement which contains provisions substantially similar to those herein or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Owner and the Servicer and which restates the representations and warranties contained in Article III as of the date of transfer (except to the extent any such representation or warranty is not accurate on such date).

With respect to each Whole Loan Transfer or Pass--Through Transfer, as the case may be, effected by the Owner, Owner (i) shall reimburse Servicer for all reasonable out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses related thereto and (ii) shall pay Servicer a reasonable amount representing time and effort expended by Servicer related thereto (which amount shall be reasonably agreed upon by Servicer and Owner prior to the expenditure of such time and effort); provided, however, that for each Whole Loan Transfer and/or Pass--Through Transfer, the sum of such amounts described in subsections (i) and (ii) above shall in no event exceed $5,000. For purposes of this paragraph, all Whole Loan Transfers and/or Pass--Through Transfers made to the same entity within the same accounting cycle shall be considered one Whole Loan Transfer or Pass--Through Transfer.

All Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a Whole Loan Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer shall be subject to this Agreement and shall continue to be serviced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and with respect thereto this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 11.01 Successor to the Servicer.

Prior to termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01(ii), the Owner shall (i) succeed to and assume all of the Servicer's responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor having the characteristics set forth in Section 8.02 hereof and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement prior to the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Owner may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as the Owner and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Servicer's duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned sections, the Servicer shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to the aforementioned sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this section and shall in no event relieve the Servicer of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Article III and the remedies available to the Owner under Section 8.01, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Article III and Section 8.01 shall be applicable to the Servicer notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Servicer, or the termination of this Agreement.

Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer and to the Owner an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Servicer or this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01 shall not affect any claims that the Owner may have against the Servicer arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

In addition, the Servicer shall provide to the Owner such other information known or available to the Servicer that is necessary in order to provide the distribution and pool performance information as required under Item 1121 of Regulation AB, as amended from time to time, as determined by the Owner in its reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall be under no obligation to provide information that the Owner deems required under Regulation AB if (i) the Servicer does not reasonably believe that such information is required under Regulation AB and (ii) the Servicer is not providing such information for (A) its own securitizations, or (B) any third party securitizations with mortgage loans serviced by the Servicer[, unless the Owner pays all reasonable actual costs incurred by the Servicer in connection with the preparation and delivery of such information and the Servicer is given reasonable time to establish the necessary systems and procedures to produce such information; provided, however, that the costs incurred by the Servicer in connection with establishing the necessary systems and procedures will be split pro rata with any other purchaser that makes a request for similar information.

The Servicer shall also provide a monthly report, in the form of Exhibit E hereto, or such other form as is mutually acceptable to the Servicer, the Owner and any Master Servicer, Exhibit H or such other agreeable format with respect to defaulted mortgage loans and Exhibit I, with respect to realized losses and gains, with each such report.

In addition, not more than sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar year, the Servicer shall furnish to each Person who was an Owner at any time during such calendar year an annual statement in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal income tax law as to the aggregate of remittances for the applicable portion of such year.

10.Article VI of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by deleting Section 6.04 in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

Section 6.04Annual Statement as to Compliance; Annual Certification.

(a)The Servicer will deliver to the Owner and any Master Servicer, using its best efforts to deliver on March 1, but in no event later than March 15, of each calendar year beginning in 2007, an Officers’ Certificate acceptable to the Owner (an “Annual Statement of Compliance”) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement or other applicable servicing agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement or other applicable servicing agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status of cure provisions thereof. Such Annual Statement of Compliance shall contain no restrictions or limitations on its use.

(b)With respect to any Mortgage Loans that are the subject of a Pass-Through Transfer, using its best efforts to deliver on March 1, but in no event later than March 15, of each calendar year beginning in 2007, an officer of the Servicer shall execute and deliver an Officers’ Certificate (an “Annual Certification”) to the Owner, any Master Servicer and any related Depositor for the benefit of each such entity and such entity’s affiliates and the officers, directors and agents of any such entity and such entity’s affiliates, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F.

In the event that the Servicer fails to timely comply with this Section 6.04 after the cure period set forth herein, commencing on March 15th of the related year, the Owner shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain written or verbal statements or assurances from the Commission, by March 30th of the related year (or such extension of time granted by the Commission so that it can review the facts surrounding any requests made by the Owner) that such failure to provide the required Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report on a timely basis, and a one time additional failure by the Servicer to comply with this Section 6.04, will not result in any adverse effect on the Owner or its affiliates with respect to any Shelf Registration on Form S-3 of the Owner or any of its affiliates. Any costs or expenses incurred by the Owner in obtaining such statement or assurances from the Commission shall be reimbursed to the Owner by the Servicer. In the event that the Owner is unable to receive any such assurances from the Commission after the use of such commercially reasonable efforts by March 30th (or any extension period granted by the Commission) of the related year, such failure by the Servicer to comply with this Section 6.04 shall be deemed an Event of Default, automatically at such time, without notice and without any cure period, and Owner may, in addition to whatever rights the Owner may have under Section 8.01, subject to the limitation expressed therein, and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same, as provided in Section 9.01 . Such termination shall be considered with cause pursuant to Section 10.01 of this Agreement. This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

Failure to provide the Annual Statement of Compliance or Annual Certification will be treated as a failure of the Servicer to perform its duties under the Agreement and will be subject to the indemnification provisions of Section 8.01, subject to the limitation expressed therein, of the Agreement. This indemnification is understood by the parties hereto to cover any gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection with its performance hereunder. For any indemnification from the Servicer to any Master Servicer, the Servicer in no event will be liable for punitive or consequential damages, regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort or otherwise.

If the indemnification provided for therein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Owner, each affiliate of the Owner, and each of the following parties participating in a Pass-Through Transfer: each sponsor and issuing entity; each Person (including, but not limited to, any Master Servicer, if applicable) responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such Pass-Through Transfer, or for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to such Pass-Through Transfer; each broker dealer acting as underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser, each Person who controls any of such parties or the Depositor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act); and the respective present and former directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates of each of the foregoing and of the Depositor (each, an “Indemnified Party”), then the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Servicer on the other.

In the case of any failure of performance described above, the Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Owner, any Depositor, as applicable, and each Person responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to such Securitization Transaction, for all costs reasonably incurred by each such party in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor.

This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any party to this Agreement.

Section 6.05[Reserved].

With respect to any Mortgage Loans that are the subject of a Pass-Through Transfer, the Servicer shall use its best efforts to deliver to the Owner or its designee, any Master Servicer and any Depositor on March 1, but in no event later than March 15 of each calendar year beginning in 2007 a report (an “Attestation Report”) by a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the Assessment of Compliance made by the Servicer, as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB or as otherwise required by the Master Servicer, which Attestation Report must be made in accordance with standards for attestation reports issued or adopted by the Public Servicer Accounting Oversight Board.

Such termination shall be considered with cause pursuant to Section 10.01 of this Agreement. This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

Failure to provide the Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report will be treated as a failure of the Servicer to perform its duties under the Agreement and will be subject to the indemnification provisions of Section 8.01, subject to the limitation expressed therein, of the Agreement. This indemnification is understood by the parties hereto to cover any gross negligence bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection with its performance hereunder. For any indemnification from the Servicer to any Master Servicer, the Servicer in no event will be liable for punitive or consequential damages, regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort or otherwise.

The Owner and the Servicer acknowledge and agree that a purpose of Section 3.01(m), 4.14, Sections 5.02, 6.04, 6.09 and 10.02 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Owner and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. None of the Owner, any Master Servicer or any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The Servicer acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Owner or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Pass-Through Transfer, the Servicer shall cooperate fully with the Owner to deliver to the Owner (including any of its assignees or designees) and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Owner or any Depositor to permit the Owner or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Servicer, any Subservicer, any Third-Party Originator and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Owner or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Servicer shall be under no obligation to provide information that the Owner deems required under Regulation AB if (i) the Servicer does not reasonably believe that such information is required under Regulation AB and (ii) the Servicer is not providing such information for its own securitizations unless the Owner pays all reasonable costs incurred by the Servicer in connection with the preparation and delivery of such information and the Servicer is given reasonable time to establish the necessary systems and procedures to produce such information; provided, however, that the costs incurred by the Servicer in connection with establishing the necessary systems and procedures will be split pro rata with any other purchaser that makes a request for similar information.

14.Article IX of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by deleting the first sentence of the last paragraph of Section 9.01 and replacing it with the following (new text underlined):

then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Owner, by notice in writing to the Servicer (or as otherwise stated herein, in which case, automatically and without notice) may, in addition to whatever rights the Owner may have under Section 8.01, subject to the limitation expressed therein, and at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer (and if the Servicer is servicing any of the Mortgage Loans in a Securitization Transaction, appoint a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to any Master Servicer for such Securitization Transaction) under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same. 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 Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 11.01. Upon written request from the Owner, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor's possession all Servicing Files, and 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, at the Servicer's sole expense. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Owner and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.

The Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Owner (or any designee of the Owner, such as a Master Servicer) and any Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Owner (or such designee) or such Depositor, as such are incurred, in connection with the termination of the Servicer as servicer and the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer. The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit whatever rights the Owner or any Depositor may have under other provisions of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.

(a) The information set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and the magnetic tape or diskette delivered to Purchaser by Seller is complete, true and correct as of the Cut-off Date;

(b) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been assigned or pledged, and Seller has good and marketable title thereto, and Seller is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, claims, encumbrances, participation interests, equities, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature and has full right and author-ity, subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign the same pursuant to this Agreement;

(c) The Mortgage is a valid and subsisting first lien on the property therein described, and the Mortgaged Property is free and clear of any and all adverse claims, encumbrances and liens having priority over the first lien of the Mort-gage except for (i) liens for real estate taxes and special assessments not yet due and payable, (ii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender's title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, and (iii) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to the Mortgage and delivered to Purchaser establishes in Seller a valid and sub-sisting first lien on the property described therein, and Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to Purchaser;

(d) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if required by law, or, if necessary, to protect the interest of Purchaser.

Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage proceeds, whichever is greater, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest;

(g) There is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property, nor is such a proceeding currently occurring, and such property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty, so as to affect materially and adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended. There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; there is no violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgaged Property; and the Seller has not received any notice of any environmental hazard on the Mortgaged Property and nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property;

(h) There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such lien) affecting the Mortgaged Property which are, or may be, liens prior or equal to, or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage unless such lien is insured under the related title insurance policy;

(i) All improvements which were included for the purpose of determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property and, to Seller's knowledge, no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property (other than minor encroachments (i) which do not affect the value of the Mortgage Loan or the Purchaser’s interest therein and (ii) to which properties similar to the Mortgaged Property within the same jurisdiction are commonly subject and which do not interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the related Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property);

(j) No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation and all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certif-icates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities and the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law;

(k) All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (i) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (ii) either (1) organized under the laws of such state, or (2) qualified to do business in such state, or (3) federal savings and loan associations, federal savings banks or national banks having authorized offices in such state, or (4) not doing business in such state;

(l) All Mortgage Loans will be current as of the Closing Date. No payment required under any Mortgage Loan has been more than thirty (30) days delinquent prior to the Cut-off Date. All payments due prior to the Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan have been made as of the Closing Date; the Mortgage Loan has not been dishonored; there are no material defaults under the terms of the Mortgage Loan. As of the Closing Date, all of the Mortgage Loans will have an actual interest paid to date of their related Cut-off Date(or later) and will be due for the scheduled monthly payment next succeeding the Cut-off Date (or later), as evidenced by a posting to Seller’s servicing collection system.

(m) The Mortgage File contains each of the documents and instruments specified to be included therein duly executed and in due and proper form, and each such document or instrument is in form acceptable to Fannie Mae and FHLMC, and each Mortgage Note, Mortgage, and appraisal are on forms acceptable to Fannie Mae and FHLMC;

(n) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and by general principles of equity. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mort-gage had legal capacity to execute the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, and each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties;

(o) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclo-sure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with. None of the Mortgage Loans are (a) loans subject to 12 CFR Part 226.31, 12 CFR Part 226.32 or 12 CFR Part 226.34 of Regulation Z, the regulation implementing TILA, which implements the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994, as amended or (b) classified and/or defined as a “high cost”, "covered", or “predatory” loan under any other state, federal or local law or regulation or ordinance, including, but not limited to, the States of Georgia and North Carolina. The Seller maintains, and shall maintain, evidence of such compliance as required by applicable law or regulation and shall make such evidence available for inspection at the Seller’s office during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice;

(p) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed, there is no requirement for future advances thereunder and any and all requirements as to comple-tion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing Mortgage Loans and the recording of the Mortgage were paid;

(q) Any future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured princi-pal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term reflected on the Mort-gage Loan Schedule. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the Mortgagee's consolidated interest or by other title evidence. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;

(r) All improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of Section 10.15 hereof. All individual insurance policies (collectively, the "hazard insurance policy") are the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and contain a standard mortgagee clause insuring Seller, its successors and assigns, as mortgagee. All premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and upon the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Neither the Seller (nor any prior originator or servicer of any of the Mortgage Loans) nor any Mortgagor has engaged in any act or omission which has impaired or would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either;

(s) There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, viola-tion or event of acceleration; and Seller has not waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration;

(t) The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counter-claim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto; and as of the Closing Date the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding;

(u) All provisions of each primary mortgage insurance policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No Mortgage Loan requires payment of such premiums, in whole or in part, by the Purchaser. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a primary mortgage insurance policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the primary mortgage insurance policy, subject to state and federal law, and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. No action has been taken or failed to be taken, on or prior to the Closing Date which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any primary mortgage insurance policy (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Seller or the Mortgagor, or for any other reason under such coverage; The mortgage interest rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium. None of the Mortgage Loans are subject to “lender-paid” mortgage insurance;

(v) The Mortgage Note is not secured by any collateral, pledged account or other security except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in Section 6.01(c). There is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage;

(w) The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure, subject only to rights of redemption, seizure and other laws that would not materially interfere with the ultimate realization of the benefits of the security;

(x) No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of Seller or the Mortgagor or, any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan;

(y) The Mortgaged Property consists of a single parcel of real property with a one family residence erected thereon, or a two-to-four family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit, planned unit development unit or townhouse; provided, however, that no residence or dwelling is a single parcel of real property with a manufactured home not affixed to a permanent foundation, or a mobile home. Any condominium unit or planned unit development conforms with the Seller’s underwriting guidelines. As of the date of origination, no portion of any Mortgaged Property was used for commercial purposes, and since the origination date, no portion of any Mortgaged Property has been, or currently is, used for commercial purposes;

(z) There exist no deficiencies with respect to escrow deposits and payments, if such are required, for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made, and, to Seller's knowledge, no escrow deposits or payments of other charges or payments due Seller have been capital-ized under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note;

(aa) The collection and servicing practices used by Seller with respect to the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been in all respects legal and customary in the mortgage servicing business;

(bb) The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA or CLTA mortgage title insurance policy, or such other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC, issued by and the valid and binding obligation of a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC,and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage. Such mortgage title insurance policy insures Seller, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and the assignment to Purchaser of Seller's interest in such mortgage title insurance policy does not require the consent of or notification to the insurer, such mortgage title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of Purchaser upon the consummation of the trans-actions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such mortgage title insurance policy and, to Seller's knowledge, no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such mortgage title insurance policy;

(cc) Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in Monthly Payments which will fully amortize the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan over its remaining term at the Mortgage Interest Rate. Each Mortgage Loan bears interest based upon a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred and sixty (360) day year. The Mortgage Loans have an original term to maturity of not more than thirty (30) years, with interest payable in arrears on the first day of each month. The Mortgage Note does not permit negative amortization. None of the Mortgage Loans are “interest-only” Mortgage Loans. None of the Mortgage Loans are considered agricultural loans;

The Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;

(ff)   The Seller is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser, the Seller will retain the Mortgage File or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee in trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of the Mortgage Loan. The Seller intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan, except for the purposes of servicing the Mortgage Loan as set forth in this Agreement. After the Closing Date, the Seller will not have any right to modify or alter the terms of the sale of the Mortgage Loan and the Seller will not have any obligation or right to repurchase the Mortgage Loan or substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to by the Seller and the Purchaser;

(gg)   The Mortgaged Property is not subject to any material damage. At origination of the Mortgage Loan there was not, since origination of the Mortgage Loan there has not been, and there currently is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. The Seller has not received notification that any such proceedings are scheduled to commence at a future date;

(hh)   The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the final approval of the mortgage loan application by an appraiser approved by the Seller, who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Fannie Mae or FHLMC and Title XI of the Federal Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated.

(jj)   The Mortgagor has received and has executed, where applicable, all disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to the making of such mortgage loans;

(kk)   The Mortgage Loan does not contain balloon or "graduated payment" features; No Mortgage Loan is subject to a buydown agreement or contains any buydown provision;

(ll)   The Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy and, the Mortgagor is not insolvent and the Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit standing that could reasonably be expected to cause investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or materially adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan;

(mm)   The Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;

(nn)   As of the Closing Date, the Mortgaged Property was lawfully occupied under applicable law, and all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities;

(qq)   The Mortgagor for each Mortgage Loan is a natural person;

(rr)   None of the Mortgage Loans are Co-op Loans;

(ss)   With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a prepayment penalty feature, each such prepayment penalty is enforceable and each prepayment penalty is permitted pursuant to federal, state and local law. No Mortgage Loan will impose a prepayment penalty for a term in excess of five years from the date such Mortgage Loan was originated. Except as otherwise set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that contains a prepayment penalty, such prepayment penalty is at least equal to the lesser of (A) the maximum amount permitted under applicable law and (B) the amount allowable by FNMA;

(tt)   With respect to each Mortgage Loan either (i) the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property securing such Mortgage Loan was at least equal to 80 percent of the original principal balance of such Mortgage Loan at the time such Mortgage Loan was originated or (ii) (a) the Mortgage Loan is only secured by the Mortgaged Property and (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire or to improve or protect the Mortgaged Property.

Section 6.03Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 6.01 and 6.02 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser, or its designee, and shall inure to the benefit of Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination, or lack of examination, of any Mortgage File.

Upon discovery by either Seller or Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of Purchaser (or which materially and adversely affects the interest of Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a repre-sentation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. Purchaser agrees to give written notice of any such breach, outlining with specificity the section of this Agreement which Purchaser claims has been violated. Within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by it or notice to it of any such breach, Seller shall use its best efforts to promptly cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured during such sixty (60) day period, Seller shall, at Purchaser's option and not later than ninety (90) days after its discovery or receipt of notice of such breach, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price.

In the event that any such breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section 6.02, and such breach cannot be cured within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to Seller of such breach, all the Mortgage Loans shall, at Purchaser's option, be repurchased by Seller at the Repurchase Price. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.03 shall be accomplished by deposit in the Custodial Account of the amount of the Repurchase Price (after deducting therefrom any amounts received in respect of such repurchased Mortgage Loan or Loans and being held in the Custodial Account for future distribution).

However, Seller may, at Purchaser’s option and assuming that Seller has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase any Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, provided, however, that any such substitution shall be effected not later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. If Seller has no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, it shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan.

As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering to Purchaser for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 5.03, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 5.03. Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account the Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such substitution. Accrued interest on the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Purchaser. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution will be retained by Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to Purchaser will include the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by Seller in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. Seller shall give written notice to Purchaser that such substitution has taken place and shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitu-tion of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitu-tion, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in Sections 6.01 and 6.02.

For any month in which Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, Seller will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of scheduled principal payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortfall (plus interest thereon equal to the related Mortgage Interest Rate) shall be distributed by Seller in the month of substitution pursuant to Section 11.01. Accordingly, on the date of such substitution, Seller will deposit from its own funds into the Custodial Account an amount equal to the amount of such shortfall.

In addition to such cure, repurchase and substitution obligation, Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach or alleged breach of Seller's representations and warranties contained in this Article VI. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of Seller set forth in this Section 6.03 to cure or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan and to indemnify Purchaser as provided in this Section 6.03 constitute the sole remedies of Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. The provisions of this Section 6.03 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Within five (5) Business Days of the repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan by Seller, Purchaser agrees to return, such repurchased or Deleted Mortgaged Loan to Seller, together with the related Mortgage File and all the documents included therein.

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 10.01Seller to Act as Servicer.

Seller shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and Customary Servicing Procedures and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through Subservicers as provided in Section 10.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which Seller may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and exercise the same care that it customarily employs for its own account. Seller may perform its servicing responsibilities through agents or independent contractors, but shall not thereby be released from any of its responsibilities hereunder, and Seller shall diligently pursue all of its rights against such agents or independent contractors.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, Seller may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Seller's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Purchaser, provided, however, that Seller shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate or the Monthly Payment amount, defer or forgive the payment of any principal or interest, change the outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of principal), make any future advances or extend the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality of the fore-going, Seller in its own name or in the name of a Subservicer is hereby authorized and empowered by Purchaser when Seller believes it appropriate and reasonable in its best judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself and Purchaser, all instruments of satisfaction or cancella-tion, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mort-gaged 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 Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.17. Seller shall make all required Servicing Advances and shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accor-dance with applicable state and feder-al law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby. Purchaser shall furnish to Seller and any Subservicer any powers of attorney and other docu-ments reasonably necessary or appropri-ate to enable Seller and any Subservicer to carry out their servicing and administra-tive duties under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Mortgage Loan becomes subject to a Pass-Through Transfer, the Seller (a) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, shall not permit any modification with respect to such Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate and (b) shall not (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to such Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Seller, reasonably foreseeable) make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of such Mortgage Loan that would both (i) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (ii) 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.

Prior to taking any action with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject to a Pass-Through Transfer, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Seller will obtain an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the trustee in such Pass-Through Transfer with respect to whether such action could result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (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”), and the Seller shall not take any such actions as to which it has been advised that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.

The Seller shall not permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in any REMIC. The Company shall not enter into any arrangement by which a REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit a 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.

Section 10.02Subservicing Agreements Between Seller and Subservicers.

Seller may enter into Subservicing Agreements with Subservicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans. Each Subservicing Agreement must impose on the Subservicer requirements conforming to the provi-sions set forth in Section 10.06. Subject to Section 16.01, Seller and the Subservicers may make amend-ments to the Subservicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Subservicing Agree-ments; pro-vided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agree-ment, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be mate-rially adverse to the interests of Purchaser, without the consent of Purchaser. Any variation from the provisions set forth in Section 10.06 relating to insur-ance or priority requirements of Subservicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the Subservicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the Subservicers to Seller, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited.

As part of its servicing activities hereunder, Seller, for the benefit of Purchaser, shall enforce the obligations of each Subservicer under the related Subservicing Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a Subservicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Subservicing 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 Seller, in its good faith busi-ness judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. Seller shall pay the costs of such enforce-ment at its own expense, but shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due hereunder 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.

Section 10.03Successor Subservicers.

Seller shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Subservicer pursuant to any Subservicing Agreement in accor-dance with the terms and condi-tions of such Subservicing Agree-ment. In the event of termination of any Subservicer, all servicing obliga-tions of such Subservicer shall be assumed simultan-eously by Seller without any act or deed on the part of such Subservicer or Seller, and Seller either shall service directly the related Mort-gage Loans or shall enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer which qualifies under Section 10.02. If Seller enters into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to have the successor Subservicer assume liability for the representations and warranties made by the terminated Subservicer in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, and in the event of any such assumption by the successor Subservicer, Seller may, in the exercise of its business judg-ment, release the terminated Subservicer from liability for such representations and warranties.

Section 10.04Liability of Seller.

Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrange-ments between Seller and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, Seller shall remain obligated and liable to Purchaser for the servicing and administer-ing of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.01 without diminu-tion of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnifica-tion from the Subservicer for any acts and omissions and to the same extent and under the same terms and condi-tions as if Seller alone were servicing and adminis-ter-ing the Mortgage Loans and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving the Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and Seller alone and Purchaser shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of Purchaser to pay Subservicer's fees and expenses except pursuant to an assumption of Seller's obligations pursuant to Section 16.01. For purposes of this Agree-ment, Seller shall be deemed to have received payments on Mortgage Loans when the Subservicer has received such pay-ments. Seller shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Subservicer for indemnification of Seller by such Subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemni-fication. Seller shall pay all fees and expenses of the Subservicer from its own funds, the Servicing Fee or other amounts permitted to be retained by or reimbursed to Seller hereunder.

The Seller will indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any loss, liability or expense arising out of its use of a Subservicer to perform any of its servicing duties, responsibilities and obligations hereunder.

In the event that the Seller's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated and if requested to do so by the Purchaser, the Seller shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer effective as of the date of termination of the Seller. The Seller shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer from the Seller's own funds without reimbursement from the Purchaser.

Section 10.05No Contractual Relationship Between Subservicers and Purchaser.

Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer in its capacity as such and not as Seller shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and Seller alone, and Purchaser shall not be deemed a party thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obliga-tions, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer except as set forth in Section 16.01.

Section 10.06Subservicing Accounts.

In those cases where a Subservicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement, the Subservicer will be required to establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Subservicing Account"). The Subservicing Account shall be an Eligible Account, and shall be segregated on the books of the Subservicer and relate only to the Mortgage Loans subject to this Agreement and other mortgage loans owned or serviced by Seller. All funds depos-ited in the Subservicing Account with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be held for the benefit of Purchaser. The Subservicer shall deposit in the Subservicing Account on a daily basis all amounts of the type described in clauses (a) through (f) of Section 10.09, received by the Subservicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans. On the date set forth in the related Subservicing Agreement (the "Subservicer Remittance Date"), the Subservicer will be required to remit all such amounts to Seller, except, if applicable, any Monthly Payment received which consti-tutes a late recovery with respect to which a Subservicer Advance (as defined below) was previ-ously made; and, if the Subservicing Agreement so provides, the Subservicer will also be required to remit, with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which the Monthly Payment due on the immediately preced-ing Due Date was delinquent as of the Subservicer Remittance Date, an amount equal to such Monthly Pay-ment net of the related Subservicing Fee (a "Subservicer Advance"). The Subservicer may deduct from each remittance, as provided above, an amount equal to Subservicing Fees to which it is then entitled to the extent not previously paid to or retained by it. Seller is not obligated to require in a Subservicing Agreement that any Subservicer make Subservicing Advances as described above; provided, however, that Seller shall be responsible for making Servicing Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loans.

Section 10.07Liquidation of Mortgage Loans.

In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, Seller shall take such action as it shall deem to be in the best interest of Purchaser. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan remains delinquent for a period of ninety (90) days or more, Seller shall commence foreclosure proceedings in accordance with its customary and usual foreclosure procedures. In such connection, Seller shall from its own funds make all necessary and proper Servicing Advances through final disposition but only to the extent that Seller shall determine, in its good faith judgment, that the amount of a proposed Servicing Advance is recoverable. Seller shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances in accordance with this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser's sole option, terminate the Seller as servicer of any Mortgage Loan which becomes ninety (90) days or greater delinquent in payment of a scheduled Monthly Payment, without payment of any termination fee with respect thereto, provided that the Seller shall on the date said termination takes effect or, upon notice to Seller for any trailing bills paid by Seller, be reimbursed for any unreimbursed monthly advances of the Seller's funds made pursuant to Section 11.03 and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees in each case relating to the Mortgage Loan underlying such delinquent Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Section 16.01 hereof shall apply to said termination and the transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect to such delinquent Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser or its designee.

In the event that a Mortgage Loan becomes part of a REMIC, and becomes REO Property, such property shall be disposed of by the Seller, with the consent of Purchaser as required pursuant to this Agreement, before the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, unless the Seller provides to the trustee under such REMIC an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the transaction to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that certificates are outstanding. Seller shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each such REO Property for the certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(E) of the Code, or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC provisions of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such property, the Seller shall either itself or through an agent selected by Seller, protect and conserve such property in the same manner and to such an extent as is customary in the locality where such property is located. Additionally, Company shall perform the tax withholding and reporting as required by law.

Section 10.08Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, Seller will proceed diligently, in accordance with this Agreement, to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable. Further, Seller will take special care in ascertaining and estimating annual ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums, and all other charges that, as provided in any Mortgage, will become due and payable to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

Section 10.09Establishment of Custodial Account; Deposits in Custodial Account.

Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts (collectively, the "Custodial Account"). The Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds shall be deposited in the Custodial Account within 24 hours of receipt. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by (a) a certification in the form of Exhibit B hereto, in the case of an account estab-lished with Citibank, or (b) a letter agree-ment in the form of Exhibit C hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than Citibank. In either case, a copy of such certification or letter agreement shall be furnished to Purchaser within five (5) Business Days afterthe Closing Date and a copy to any subsequent purchaser upon request.

Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis, or as and when received from the Subservicer, and retain therein the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date):

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

(b) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate;

(c) all Liquidation Proceeds;

(d) all proceeds received by Seller under any title, hazard, private mortgage guaranty or other insurance policy other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures;

(e) all awards or settlements in respect of condemnation proceedings or eminent domain affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures;

(f) any amount required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Sections 11.01, 11.03 and 12.02;

(g) any amounts payable in connection with the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 6.03, and all amounts required to be deposited by Seller in connection with shortfalls in principal amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 6.03;

(h) all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures, the loan documents or applicable law; and

(i) with respect to each full or partial Principal Prepayment any amounts to the extent that collections of interest are less than one (1) full month’s interest at the applicable Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate (“Prepayment Interest Shortfalls”), such Prepayment Interest Shortfalls will be deposited by Seller to the extent of its aggregate Servicing Fee received with respect to the related Due Period.

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees need not be deposited by Seller in the Custodial Account. Any interest or earnings on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of Seller and Seller shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account.

Section 10.10Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.

Seller shall, from time to time, withdraw funds from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(a) to make payments to Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 11.01;

(b) to temporarily reimburse itself for advances of Seller funds made pursuant to Section 11.03, Seller's right to permanently reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (b) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent payments of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made;

(c) to reimburse itself first for all unreimbursed Servicing Advances, second for unreimbursed advances of Seller funds made pursuant to Section 11.03, and third for any unpaid Servicing Fees, Seller's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (c) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, amounts representing proceeds of insurance policies covering the related Mortgaged Property and such other amounts as may be collected by Seller from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being understood that, in the case of any such reim-bursement, Seller's right thereto shall be prior to the rights of Purchaser unless Seller is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 6.03, in which case Seller's right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to Purchaser of the repurchase price pursuant to Section 6.03 and all other amounts required to be paid to Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(d) to reimburse itself for all unreimbursed Servicing Advances, advances of Seller funds made pursuant to Section 11.03 and unpaid Servicing Fees to the extent that such amounts are nonrecoverable by Seller pursuant to subclause (c) above, provided that the Mortgage Loan for which such advances were made is not required to be repurchased by Seller pursuant to Section 6.03, and to reimburse itself for such amounts to the extent that such amounts are not recovered from the disposition of REO Property pursuant to Section 10.17 hereof;

(e) to reimburse itself for subsequent trailing bills related to a previously disposed of REO Property in which distribution of the net cash proceeds has occurred;

(f) to reimburse itself for expenses incurred by and reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 13.01;

(g) to pay to itself any interest earned on funds deposited in the Custodial Account, such withdrawal to be made monthly not later than the Remittance Date;

(h) to withdraw any amounts inadvertently deposited in the Custodial Account;

(i)   to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement; and

(j)   to withdraw Service Fees to the extent deposited therein.

On each Remittance Date, Seller shall withdraw all funds from the Custodial Account except for those amounts which, pursuant to Section 11.01(c) and (d), Seller is not obligated to remit on such Remittance Date. Seller may use such with-drawn funds only for the purposes described in this Section 10.10.

Section 10.11Establishment of Escrow Account; Deposits in Escrow Account.

Seller shall segregate and hold or cause any Subservicer to segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts (collectively, the "Escrow Account"). The Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account. In any case, the Escrow Account shall be insured by the FDIC in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder and which may be drawn on by Seller. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit J. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, and upon request to any subsequent purchaser.

Seller or the Subservicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account on a daily basis, and retain therein: (a) all Escrow Payments collec-ted on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effect-ing timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement, and (b) all amounts representing proceeds of any hazard insurance policy which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property. Seller shall make withdrawals therefrom only in accordance with Section 10.12 hereof. As part of its servicing duties, Seller or the Subservicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in the Escrow Account, to the extent required by law.

Section 10.12Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account shall be made by Seller or the Subservicer only (a) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, mortgage insurance pre-miums, fire and hazard insurance premiums or other items consti-tuting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage, (b) to reimburse Seller for any Servicing Advance made by Seller pursuant to Section 10.13 hereof with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or collec-tions of Escrow Payments there-under, (c) to refund to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan, (d) for transfer to the Custodial Account upon default of a Mortgagor or in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and if permitted by applicable law, (e) for application to restore or repair of the Mortgaged Property, (f) to pay to the Mortgagor, to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, (g) to pay to itself any interest earned on funds deposited in the Escrow Account (and not required to be paid to the Mortgagor), such withdrawal to be made monthly not later than the Remittance Date or (h) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account upon the termina-tion of this Agreement.

Section 10.13Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, Seller or the Subservicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of private mortgage guaranty insurance premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by Seller in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, Seller shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. Seller assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of each Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

The Seller will maintain in full force and effect primary mortgage insurance policies issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be terminated only with the approval of Purchaser, or as required by applicable law or regulation. The Seller will not cancel or refuse to renew any primary mortgage insurance policy in effect on the Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement primary mortgage insurance policy for such canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Seller shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable primary mortgage insurance policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Seller would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 12.01, the Seller shall promptly notify the insurer under the related primary mortgage insurance policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the primary mortgage insurance policy. If such primary mortgage insurance policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Seller shall obtain a replacement primary mortgage insurance policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Seller agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any private mortgage insurance policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such primary mortgage insurance policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any primary mortgage insurance policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 10.09, any amounts collected by the Seller under any primary mortgage insurance policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 10.10.

Section 10.14Transfer of Accounts.

Seller may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different depository institution; provided such new account at such depositary institution is an Eligible Account. Such transfer to a non-Citigroup affiliate shall be made only upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 10.15Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

Seller shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (a) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property or (b) the greater of (i) the outstanding principal balance owing on the Mortgage Loan and (ii) an amount such that the proceeds of such insurance shall be sufficient to avoid the application to the Mortgagor or loss payee of any coinsurance clause under the policy. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) Seller will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guide-lines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a gener-ally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (a) the out-standing principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (b) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, or (c) the maximum amount of insurance available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, each as amended. Seller shall also maintain on property acquired upon foreclos-ure, or by deed in lieu of fore-closure, of any Mortgage Loan, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insur-ance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, each as amended, flood insurance in an amount required above. Any amounts collected by Seller under any such policies (other than amounts to be depos-ited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or property acquired in liquida-tion of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures) shall be depos-ited in the Custodial Account, subject to with-drawal pursuant to Section 10.10. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance need be required by Seller of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such appli-cable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All policies required hereunder shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to Seller and its successors and/or assigns, and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage to Seller. Seller shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent.

Section 10.16Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance.

Seller shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage Loans ("Seller Employees"). Any such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure Seller against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions, failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement, and negligent acts of such Seller Employees. Such fidelity bond shall also protect and insure Seller against losses in connection with the release or satis-faction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 10.16 requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omis-sions insurance shall diminish or relieve Seller from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Fannie Mae in the Fannie Mae Guides. Upon request by the Purchaser, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Purchaser. The Seller shall notify the Purchaser within five (5) business days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. Upon request by Purchaser, Seller shall provide Purchaser with an insurance certificate certifying coverage under this Section 10.16, and will provide an update to such certificate upon request, or upon renewal or material modification of coverage.

Section 10.17Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of Purchaser, or in the event Purchaser is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the "doing business" or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by Seller, at expense of Purchaser, from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. The Person or Persons holding such title other than Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for Purchaser.

Seller shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for Purchaser solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. Seller shall either itself or through an agent selected by Seller, manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. Seller shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same) on such terms and conditions as Seller deems to be in the best interest of Purchaser.

With respect to all REO Property, Seller shall hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of the REO Property separate and apart from its own funds or general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to all REO Property an REO Account or Accounts, in the form of a non-interest bearing demand account, titled "[Seller] in trust for Purchaser-Fixed Rate Mortgage Loans as tenants in common" unless an Opinion of Counsel is obtained by Seller to the effect that the classi-fication as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes of the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property are held will not be adversely affected by holding such funds in another manner. Such REO Account shall be established with Seller or, with the prior consent of Purchaser, with a commercial bank, a mutual savings bank or a savings and loan association. The creation of the REO Account shall be evidenced by (a) a certifi-cation in the form shown in Exhibit D hereto, in the case of an account established with Citibank, or (b) a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit E hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than Citibank. In either case, an original of such certification or letter agreement shall be furnished to Purchaser upon request.

Seller shall cause to be deposited on a daily basis in the REO Account all revenues received with respect to the conservation and disposition of the related REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper opera-tion, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 10.15 hereof and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of Seller. Seller shall not be entitled to retain interest paid or other earnings, if any, on funds deposited in such REO Account. Seller shall make distributions as required on each Remittance Date to Purchaser of the net cash flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the revenues from such REO Property net of the expenses described above and of any reserves reasonably required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such expenses).

Seller shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property as soon as practicable but in any event within three (3) years after title has been taken to such REO Property. If a purchase money mortgage is taken in accordance with such sale, such purchase money mortgage shall not be held pursuant to this Agreement.

The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by Seller and shall be made at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as Seller deems to be in the best interests of Purchaser. Upon the request of Purchaser, and at Purchaser's expense, Seller shall cause an appraisal of the REO Property to be performed for Purchaser. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the REO Account and, as soon as practical there-after, the expenses of such sale shall be paid, Seller shall reimburse itself for any and all related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees, any and all unreimbursed advances made and any appraisal performed and the net cash proceeds of such sale remaining in the REO Account shall be distributed to Purchaser.

Upon request, with respect to any REO Property, Seller shall furnish to Purchaser a statement covering Seller's efforts in connection with the sale of that REO Prop-erty and any rental of the REO Property incidental to the sale thereof for the previous month (together with an operat-ing state-ment). That statement shall be accompanied by such other infor-mation as Purchaser shall reasonably request.

ARTICLE XI

PAYMENTS TO PURCHASER

Section 11.01Distributions.

On each Remittance Date, Seller shall remit by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Purchaser of record on the preceding Record Date (a) all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the preceding Determination Date (net of all amounts withdrawable therefrom pursuant to Section 10.10), plus (b) all amounts, if any, which Seller is obli-gated to distribute pursuant to Section 11.03, minus (c) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subse-quent to the related Due Period, minus (d) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments received after the last day of the calendar month preceding the month of the Remittance Date, which amounts shall be remitted on the following Remittance Date, together with any additional interest required to be deposited in the Custodial Account in connection with such Principal Prepayments in accordance with Section 10.09(h), minus (e) any amounts attributable to reimbursement for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, advance of Seller funds, and unpaid Servicing Fees pursuant to Section 10.10(d), and minus (f) any amounts attributable to reimbursement for subsequent trailing bills related to a previously disposed of REO Property in which distribution of net cash proceeds has occurred pursuant to Section 10.10(e).

With respect to any remittance received by Purchaser after the Business Day on which such payment was due, Seller shall pay to Purchaser interest on any such late payment at arate equal to the overnight federal funds effective rate, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be paid by Seller to Purchaser on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the Business Day on which such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. The payment by Seller of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by Seller.

To the extent that the amount of a remittance or distribution to Purchaser made hereunder is in greater than the amount thereof properly to be remitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Seller will give prompt written notice thereof to Purchaser after Seller's discovery thereof, including the amount of such remittance or distribution that was paid in error. If, by the Remittance Date immediately following such notice, Purchaser has not reimbursed the Custodial Account or Seller, as applicable, for the amount of such erroneous remittance or distribution (without any liability on the part of Purchaser for interest thereon), Seller shall be entitled to withhold such amount from the remittance to be made on such Remittance Date.

Section 11.02Statements to Purchaser.

Not later than seven (7) Business Days after each month end, Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser an individual loan accounting report, as of the last Business Day of each month, in the Seller's assigned loan number order to document Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual Mortgage Loan basis. The corresponding individual loan accounting report shall be on a disk or tape or other computer-readable format in such format as may be mutually agreed upon by both Purchaser and Seller, and shall contain the information set forth in Exhibit L hereto.

In addition, within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, Seller will furnish a report to each Person that was a Purchaser at any time during such calendar year. Such report shall state the aggregate of amounts (a) remitted on each Remittance Date which is allocable to principal and allocable to interest and (b) of servicing compensation received by Seller as servicer on each Remittance Date for such calendar year or, in the event such Person was a Purchaser of record during only a portion of such calendar year, for the applicable portion of such year. Such obligation of Seller shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by Seller pursuant to any requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as from time to time in force.

Seller shall prepare and file any and all tax returns, information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority or to Purchaser pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the trans-actions contemplated hereby. In addition, Seller shall provide Purchaser with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for such Purchaser to prepare its federal income tax return as Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time.

Section 11.03Advances by Seller.

On the Business Day immediately preceding each Remit-tance Date, Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all Monthly Payments (with interest adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate) which were due on the Mortgage Loans during the applicable Due Period and which were delinquent at the close of business on the immediately preceding Determina-tion Date. This deposit may be offset by any funds held for a future distribution not due on the current Remittance Date. Seller's obligation to make such advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, or through the last Remittance Date prior to the Remittance Date for the distribution of all other payments or recoveries (including proceeds under any title, hazard or other insurance policy, or condemnation awards) with respect to the Mortgage Loan, provided, however, that such obligation shall cease if (a) there has been a final disposition of the Mortgage Loan or (b) if Seller, in its good faith judgment, determines that such advances would not be recoverable pursuant to Section 10.10(d). The determination by Seller that an advance, if made, would be nonrecoverable, shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of Seller, delivered to Purchaser, which details the reasons for such determination and contains an appraisal of the value of the Mortgaged Property.

Section 11.04Liquidation Reports.

Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Purchaser pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the Seller shall submit to the Purchaser a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property in a form mutually acceptable to Seller and Purchaser. The Seller shall also provide reports on the status of REO Property containing such information as Purchaser may reasonably require.

ARTICLE XII

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURE

Section 12.01Assumption Agreements.

Seller will use its best efforts to enforce any "due-on-sale" provision contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note to the extent permitted by law, provided that Seller shall permit such assumption if so required in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, Seller will, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the "due-on-sale" clause applicable thereto, provided, however, Seller will not exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related private mortgage guaranty policy, if any. If Seller reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, Seller may enter into an assumption and modifica-tion agree-ment with the person to whom such property has been con-veyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applica-ble law, the Mort-gagor remains liable thereon. In connection with any such assump-tion, the outstanding principal amount, the Monthly Payment and the Mortgage Interest Rate of the re-lated Mortgage Note shall not be changed, and the term of the Mortgage Loan will not be increased or decreased. If an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 12.01, Seller with the prior consent of the private mortgage guaranty insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with Purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the origi-nal Mortgagor is released from liability and Purchaser of the Mortgaged Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. Any fee collected by Seller for entering into any such assumption agreement will be retained by Seller as additional servicing compensation.

In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Seller shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the Seller. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the amount of the Monthly Payment and the maturity date may not be changed (except pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note). If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Seller diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall notify the Purchaser that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Purchaser the original of any such substitution of liability 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. All fees collected by the Seller for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Seller.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, the Seller shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Seller may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 12.01, 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 12.02Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by Seller of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, Seller or the Subservicer will obtain, in accordance with Section 5.03 hereof, the portion of the Mortgage File that is in the possession of the Purchaser, prepare and process any required satisfaction or release of the Mortgage and notify Purchaser as provided in Section 11.02.

In the event Seller grants a satisfaction or release of a Mort-gage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should Seller otherwise prejudice any right Purchaser may have under the mortgage instru-ments, Seller, upon written demand of Purchaser, shall remit within two (2) Business Days to Purchaser the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. Seller shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance as provided for in Section 10.16 insuring Seller against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the proce-dures set forth herein.

Section 12.03Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, Seller shall be entitled to retain from interest payments on the Mort-gage Loans the Servicing Fee. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees and late payment charges shall be retained by Seller or any related Subservicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. Seller shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for herein.

Section 12.04Annual Statement as to Compliance.

The Seller will deliver to the Purchaser not later than 90 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Seller beginning in March 2004, an Officers' Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Seller during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Seller has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officers and the nature and status of cure provisions thereof. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Seller to the Purchaser upon request.

Section 12.05Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.

Within ninety (90) days of Seller's fiscal year end beginning in March 2004, the Seller at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Purchaser to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the Seller's servicing of mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans pursuant to servicing agreements substantially similar to this Agreement, which agreements may include this Agreement, and that, on the basis of such an examination, conducted substantially in the uniform single audit program for mortgage bankers, such firm is of the opinion that the Seller's servicing has been conducted in compliance with the agreements examined pursuant to this Section 12.05, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Seller to the Purchaser. In addition, on an annual basis, Seller shall provided Purchaser with copies of its audited financial statements.

Section 12.06Purchaser's Right to Examine Seller Records.

Purchaser shall have the right, at all reasonable times upon reasonable notice and as often as reasonably required, to examine and audit any and all of the books, records or other information of Seller whether held by Seller or by another on behalf of Seller, which are relevant to the performance or observance by Seller of the terms, covenants or condi-tions of this Agreement.

Section 12.07Seller Shall Provide Access/Information as ReasonablyRequired.

Seller shall provide to Purchaser access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans which may be required by applicable regulations (the "Regulations"). Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request, during normal business hours and at the offices of Seller.

In addition, Seller shall furnish upon request by Purchaser, during the term of this Agreement, such periodic, special or other reports or information, whether or not provided for herein, as shall be necessary, reasonable and appropriate with respect to the purposes of this Agreement and the Regulations. All such reports or information shall be provided by and in accordance with all reasonable instructions and direc-tions Purchaser may require. Seller agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as Purchaser, from time to time, may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purposes and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

In connection with marketing the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser may make available to a prospective purchaser audited financial statements of the Seller for the most recently completed two (2) fiscal years for which such statements are available.

ARTICLE XIII

SELLER

Section 13.01Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

In addition to the indemnification provided in Section 6.03, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the failure of Seller to perform its duties, obligations, covenants and agreements and service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Seller shall immediately notify Purchaser if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, and Seller shall assume (with the consent of Purchaser) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judg-ment or decree which may be entered against Seller or Purchaser in respect of such claim. Seller shall provide Purchaser with a written report of all expenses and advances incurred by Seller pursuant to this Section 13.01 and Purchaser shall promptly reim-burse Seller for all amounts advanced by it pur-suant to the preceding sentence except when the claim in any way relates to Seller's failure to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement or a breach of representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that Purchaser or its designee becomes record owner of any Mortgaged Property, Seller shall not be deemed to have failed to perform its obligations hereunder where it fails to act in response to any notice delivered to the record holder of the Mortgaged Property if (i) statutory notice was not delivered to Seller, (ii) Seller had no actual knowledge of the situation surrounding such notice and (iii) Seller's inaction was due entirely to Seller's lack of receipt of such notice. The provisions of this Section 13.01 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 13.02Merger or Consolidation of Seller.

Seller will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corpora-tion in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Any Person into which Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which Seller shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to substantially all of the business of Seller (whether or not related to loan servic-ing), shall be the successor of Seller 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 con-trary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution (i) the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC, SAIF and/or BIF, and which is a HUD-approved mortgagee whose primary business is in origination and servicing of first lien mortgage loans, and (ii) who is a Fannie Mae or FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing.

Section 13.03Limitation on Liability of Seller and Others.

Seller and any director, officer, employee or agent of Seller may rely on any document of any kind which it in good faith reasonably believes to be genuine and to have been adopted or signed by the proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Seller or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in strict compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Subject to the terms of Section 13.01, Seller shall have no obligation to appear with respect to, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to Seller's duty to service the Mortgage Loans in accord-ance with this Agreement; provided, however, that the Seller may, with the consent of the Purchaser, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Purchaser will be liable, and the Seller shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Purchaser upon written demand.

.

Section 13.04Seller Not to Resign.

Seller shall not assign this Agreement nor resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of Seller and Purchaser or upon the determination that Seller's duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have the right to assign its rights under this Agreement to Citigroup, Inc. or any subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc.

Section 13.05No Transfer of Servicing.

With respect to the retention of the Seller to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Seller acknowledges that the Purchaser has acted in reliance upon the Seller's independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plan, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section, the Seller shall not either assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Purchaser, which consent shall be granted or withheld in the Purchaser's sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller may assign any compensation arising from servicing under this Agreement to an affiliate of Seller.

Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 13.05, in the event that the Seller either shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof without (i) satisfying the requirements set forth herein or (ii) the prior written consent of the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Seller (other than with respect to accrued but unpaid Servicing Fees and Servicing Advances remaining unpaid) or any third party.

In the event there is a termination of servicing pursuant to this Agreement, Seller shall cause its affiliate to whom Seller transferred the servicing compensation hereunder to transfer all the right, title and interest in the servicing compensation to EMC Mortgage Corporation ("EMC") or its designee, and Seller shall indemnify EMC for any and all losses for its failure to assign such right, title and interest to the servicing compensation as required herein.

ARTICLE XIV

DEFAULT

Section 14.01Events of Default.

In case one or more of the following Events of Default by Seller shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:

(a) any failure by Seller to remit to Purchaser any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of one (1) Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requir-ing the same to be remedied, shall have been given to Seller by Purchaser; or

(b) failure by Seller to duly observe or perform, in any material respect, any other covenants, obligations or agreements of Seller as set forth in this Agreement which failure continues unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to Seller by Purchaser; or

(c) a decree or order of a court or agency or super-visory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, read-justment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against Seller and such decree or order shall have remained in force, undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; or

(d) Seller shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, read-just-ment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to Seller or relating to all or substantially all of Seller's property; or

(e) Seller shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntar-ily suspend payment of its obligations; or

(f) Seller attempts to assign this Agreement except in compliance with the terms of this Agreement; or

(h) the Seller ceases to be (a) licensed to service first lien residential mortgage loans in any jurisdiction in which a Mortgaged Property is located and such licensing is required, and (b) qualified to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is currently so qualified, but only to the extent such non-qualification materially and adversely affects the Seller's ability to perform its obligations hereunder; or

(i) the Seller fails to meet the eligibility criteria set forth in the last sentence of Section 13.02; or

(j)  the Seller ceases to be approved by either Fannie Mae or FHLMC as a mortgage loan seller or servicer for more than thirty days; or

(k) the Seller attempts, without the consent of the Purchaser, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets or to assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof.

Then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, Purchaser, by notice in writing to Seller (except in the case of an Event of Default under clauses (c), (d) or (e) above, in which case, automatically and without notice), may, in addition to whatever rights Purchaser may have at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of Seller under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On and after the receipt by Seller of such written notice (or, in the case of an Event of Default under clauses (c), (d) or (e) above, in which case, automatically and without notice) all authority and power of Seller under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 16.01. Upon written request from Purchaser, Seller shall prepare, execute and deliver to a successor any and all documents and other instru-ments, place in such successor's possession all Mortgage Files and do or cause to be done all other acts or things neces-sary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including, but not limited to, the trans-fer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents to the successor at Seller's sole expense. Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser and such successor in effecting the termination of Seller's responsi-bil-ities and rights hereunder, including, without limita-tion, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all amounts which shall at the time be credited by Seller to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.

Section 14.02Waiver of Defaults.

Purchaser may waive only by written notice any default by Seller in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so waived in writing.

ARTICLE XV

TERMINATION

Section 15.01Termination.

This Agreement shall terminate upon either: (a) the later of the distribution to Purchaser of final payment or liquidation with respect to the last Mortgage Loan (or advances of same by Seller), or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to the last Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due hereunder; (b) mutual consent of Seller and Purchaser in writing; or (c) the repurchase by Seller of all Mortgage Loans (and all REO Property which has not been sold at a price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal balance of each Mortgage Loan on the day of repurchase) plus accrued interest thereon at a rate equal to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate to the date of repurchase plus the appraised value of any such REO Property, such appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser.

ARTICLE XVI

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 16.01Successor to Seller.

Prior to termination of Seller's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 13.04, 14.01 or 15.01(b), Purchaser shall (a) succeed to and assume all of Seller's responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement or (b) appoint a successor which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsi-bilities, duties and liabilities of Seller under this Agreement prior to the termination of Seller's responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment and assumption, Purchaser 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 compen-sation shall be in excess of that permitted Seller under this Agreement without the consent of Purchaser. In the event that Seller's duties, responsibili-ties and liabilities under this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to the afore-mentioned Sections, Seller shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termin-ation until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or preju-dice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of Seller pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section and shall in no event relieve Seller of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 6.01 and 6.02 and the remedies available to Purchaser under Section 6.03, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections 6.01, 6.02 and 6.03 shall be applicable to Seller notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of Seller, or the termination of this Agreement.

Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Seller and to Purchaser an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of Seller, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of Seller or this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04, 14.01 or 15.01 shall not affect any claims that Purchaser may have against Seller arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

Seller shall promptly deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial Account and Escrow Account and all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and Seller shall account for all funds and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitively vest in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, respon-sibilities, obligations and liabilities of Seller.

Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such, Seller shall notify by mail Purchaser of such appointment.

Section 16.02Amendment.

In the event that as part of such sale or securitization, additional information regarding the Mortgage Loans or modification of the reporting requirements may be requested, Seller agrees to review such requests by Purchaser’s transferee or master servicer only if, in Seller’s judgment, fulfilling such requests would require no material modifications to Seller’s servicing processes or systems and any and all costs to provide such reports and information shall be borne by Purchaser.

Section 16.11Cooperation of Seller with a Reconstitution.

The Seller and the Purchaser agree that with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, on or after the Closing Date, on one or more dates (each a "Reconstitution Date") at the Purchaser's sole option, upon fifteen (15) days notice (provided Purchaser shall use its best efforts to provide thirty (30) days notice) to Seller (which notice shall include a copy of the proposed Reconstitution Agreement), the Purchaser may effect a sale (each, a "Reconstitution") of some or all of the Mortgage Loans then subject to this Agreement, without recourse, to (subject to the limitation on the number of Purchasers in Section 5.04 hereof):

(a) one or more third party purchasers in one or more in whole loan transfers (each, a "Whole Loan Transfer"); or

(b)one or more trusts or other entities to be formed as part of one or more pass-through transfers (each, a "Pass-Through Transfer").

The Seller agrees to execute in connection with any agreements among the Purchaser, the Seller, and any servicer in connection with a Whole Loan Transfer, a Reconstitution Agreement. It is understood that any such Reconstitution Agreement will not contain any greater or different obligations on the part of Seller than are contained in this Agreement.

With respect to each Whole Loan Transfer and each Pass-Through Transfer entered into by the Purchaser, the Seller agrees (1) to cooperate fully with the Purchaser and any prospective purchaser with respect to all reasonable requests and due diligence procedures; (2) to execute, deliver and perform all Reconstitution Agreements required by the Purchaser; (3) to restate the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement as of the settlement or closing date in connection with such Reconstitution (each, a "Reconstitution Date"). In that connection, the Seller shall provide to such Purchaser any and all information (including servicing portfolio information) and appropriate verification of information (including servicing portfolio information) which may be reasonably available to the Seller, whether through letters of its auditors or otherwise, as the Purchaser or any such other participant shall request upon reasonable demand; . In connection with each Pass-Through Transfer, the Seller agrees to provide reasonable and customary indemnification to the Purchaser and its affilates for disclosure information provided by Purchaser contained in any offering document relating to the Seller or its affilates, the Mortgage Loans and the underwriting standards of the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser shall be responsible for the costs relating to the delivery of such information.

The Seller further agrees that in the event any Mortgage Loan is transferred to Fannie Mae, the Seller shall service such Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guide, and that there shall be no cap on compensating interest payments with respect to such Mortgage Loans. The Seller agrees that with respect to such Mortgage Loans, Seller shall also provide a monthly data file tape with such information as required by Fannie Mae, as applicable.

All Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a Reconstitution shall remain subject to, and serviced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and with respect thereto this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 16.12Reporting with Respect to a Reconstitution.

The Seller agrees that with respect to any Mortgage Loan sold or transferred pursuant to a Reconstitution as described in Section 16.11 of this Agreement (a “Reconstituted Mortgage Loan”), the Seller, at its expense, shall provide the Purchaser with the information set forth in Exhibit K attached hereto for each Reconstituted Mortgage Loan in such electronic format as may be mutually agreed upon by both Purchaser and Seller.

Section 16.13Confidentiality of Information.

Each party recognizes that, in connection with this Agreement, it may become privy to non-public information regarding the financial condition, operations and prospects of the other party. Each party agrees to keep all non-public information regarding the other party strictly confidential, and to use all such information solely in order to effectuate the purpose of the Agreement, provided that each party may provide confidential information to its employees, agents and affiliates who have a need to know such information in order to effectuate the transaction, provided further that such information is identified as confidential non-public information. In addition, confidential information may be provided to a regulatory authority with supervisory power over Purchaser, provided such information is identified as confidential non-public information.

Notwithstanding other provisions of this Section 16.14 or any other express or implied agreement, arrangement, or understanding to the contrary, the Seller and Purchaser (the “Parties”) agree that the Parties (and their employees, representatives and other agents) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind from the commencement of discussions, the purported or claimed U.S. federal income tax treatment of the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and related transactions covered by this letter agreement (“tax treatment”) and any fact that may be relevant to understanding the tax treatment (“tax structure”) and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Parties relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, except where confidentiality is reasonably necessary to comply with securities laws.

Section 16.14 No Solicitation.

Seller hereby agrees that it will not, and its affiliates will not, during the remaining term of any of the individual Mortgage Loans, take any action or cause any action to be taken by any of its agents or affiliates, or independent contractors working on its behalf, to target solicit the prepayment of said Mortgage Loans by the mortgagors, without the prior written consent and approval of the Purchaser; provided that, the foregoing shall not preclude the Seller from engaging in solicitations in monthly statements or other regular communications to borrowers in Seller’s servicing portfolio which are not directed toward the borrowers of the Mortgage Loans. Promotions undertaken by the Seller or any affiliate of the Seller which are directed solely to the general public at large, including, without limitation, mass mailing based on commercially acquired mailing lists, newspapers, radio and television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation.

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

This is a Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement for residential adjustable rate first lien mortgage loans, dated and effective as of September 1, 2002, and is executed between EMC Mortgage Corporation, as purchaser (the “Purchaser”), and Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., as seller and servicer (the “Company”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, from time to time the Purchaser has agreed to purchase from the Company and from time to time the Company has agreed to sell to the Purchaser certain Mortgage Loans (excluding the right to service the Mortgage Loans which the Company expressly retains);

WHEREAS, each of the Mortgage Loans is secured by a mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument creating a first lien on a residential dwelling located in the jurisdiction indicated on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, which is annexed hereto as Exhibit A;

WHEREAS, the Company has agreed to service, from time to time, certain of the Mortgage Loans acquired by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Purchaser and the Company wish to prescribe the manner of purchase of the Mortgage Loans and the management, servicing and control of the Mortgage Loans which from time to time are subject to this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the Purchaser and the Company agree as follows:

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 4.01 Company to Act as Servicer.

The Company shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Company may deem necessary or desirable, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices.

(a)Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Company may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Company’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Purchasers, provided, however, that the Company shall not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan and (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Company, imminent and the Company has obtained the prior written consent of the Purchaser) the Company shall not permit any modification of any material term of any Mortgage Loan including any modifications that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate change the Index, Lifetime Mortgage Interest Rate Cap, Initial Rate Cap or Gross Margin of any Mortgage Loan, defer or forgive the payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such modification which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Company shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 5.03, the difference between (a) such month’s principal and one month’s interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Company shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances made pursuant to Section 5.03. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Purchasers, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. If reasonably required by the Company, the Purchaser shall furnish the Company with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Company to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Company shall employ procedures (including collection procedures) and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account, giving due consideration to Accepted Servicing Practices where such practices do not conflict with the requirements of this Agreement, and the Purchaser’s reliance on the Company.

The Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by the Subservicer on behalf of the Company provided that the Subservicer is a Fannie Mae-approved lender or a Freddie Mac seller/servicer in good standing, and no event has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage, which would make it unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for lenders imposed by Fannie Mae or for seller/servicers imposed by Freddie Mac, or which would require notification to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Company may perform any of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause the Subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Company of the Subservicer shall not release the Company from any of its obligations hereunder and the Company shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of the Subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses of the Subservicer from its own funds, and the Subservicer’s fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee.

At the cost and expense of the Company, without any right of reimbursement from the Custodial Account, the Company shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor Subservicer meeting the requirements in the preceding paragraph, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Company, at the Company’s option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the Company’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 9.04, 10.01 or 11.02, and if requested to do so by the Purchaser, the Company shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer as soon as is reasonably possible. The Company shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer from the Company’s own funds without reimbursement from the Purchaser.

Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Company and the Subservicer or any reference herein to actions taken through the Subservicer or otherwise, the Company shall not be relieved of its obligations to the Purchaser and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Company shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with the Subservicer for indemnification of the Company by the Subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving the Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and Company alone, and the Purchaser shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of Purchaser to pay the Subservicer’s fees and expenses. For purposes of distributions and advances by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when the Subservicer has received such payment.

Section 4.02 Liquidation of Mortgage Loans.

In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan and not postponed pursuant to Section 4.01 is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Company shall take such action as (1) the Company would take under similar circumstances with respect to a similar mortgage loan held for its own account for investment, (2) shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, (3) the Company shall determine prudently to be in the best interest of Purchaser, and (4) is consistent with any related PMI Policy. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not postponed pursuant to Section 4.01 and remains delinquent for a period of 90 days or any other default continues for a period of 90 days beyond the expiration of any grace or cure period, the Company shall commence foreclosure proceedings, provided that, prior to commencing foreclosure proceedings, the Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the Company’s intention to do so, and the Company shall not commence foreclosure proceedings if the Purchaser objects to such action within 10 Business Days of receiving such notice. In the event the Purchaser objects to such foreclosure action, the Company shall not be required to make Monthly Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 5.03, and the Company’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances shall terminate on the 90th day referred to above. In such connection, the Company shall from its own funds make all necessary and proper Servicing Advances, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration or preservation of any Mortgaged Property, unless it shall determine (a) that such preservation, restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and (b) that such expenses will be recoverable by it either through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05) or through Insurance Proceeds (respecting which it shall have similar priority).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Company has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property to be conducted by a qualified inspector. Upon completion of the inspection, the Company shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental inspection.

After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Purchaser shall determine how the Company shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property. In the event (a) the environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes and (b) the Purchaser directs the Company to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall be reimbursed for all costs associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental clean up costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse the Company, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof. In the event the Purchaser directs the Company not to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof.

Section 4.03 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Company shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable and shall take special care in ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property, to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

Section 4.04 Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Account.

The Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled “Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. in trust for EMC Mortgage Corporation, as purchaser of Residential Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans and various Mortgagors”. The Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository acceptable to the Purchaser. Any funds deposited in the Custodial Account shall at all times be fully insured to the full extent permitted under applicable law. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto, in the case of an account established with the Company, or by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit D-2 hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than the Company. A copy of such certification or letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser and, upon request, to any subsequent Purchaser.

The Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account within two Business Days of receipt, and retain therein, the following collections received by the Company and payments made by the Company after the related Cut-off Date, (other than payments of principal and interest due on or before the related Cut-off Date, or received by the Company prior to the related Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto or with respect to each LPMI Loan, in the amount of the LPMI Fee):

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

(ii)all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate;

(iii)all Liquidation Proceeds;

(iv)all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 4.10, Section 4.11, Section 4.14 and Section 4.15;

(v)all Condemnation Proceeds which are not applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Section 4.14;

(vi)any amount required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.01, 4.09, 5.03, 6.01 or 6.02;

(vii)any amounts payable in connection with the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03, 3.05 or 3.07 and all amounts required to be deposited by the Company in connection with a shortfall in principal amount of any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03;

(viii)with respect to each Principal Prepayment in full or in part, the Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount, if any, for the month of distribution. Such deposit shall be made from the Company’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor up to a maximum amount per month of the Servicing Fee actually received for such month for the Mortgage Loans;

(ix)any amounts required to be deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 4.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy; and

(x)any amounts received with respect to or related to any REO Property and all REO Disposition Proceeds pursuant to Section 4.16.

The foregoing requirements for deposit into the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Company into the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Company and the Company shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.05 Permitted Withdrawals From Custodial Account.

The Company shall, from time to time, withdraw funds from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i)to make payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01;

(ii)to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances of the Company’s funds made pursuant to Section 5.03, the Company’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Company’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of Purchaser, except that, where the Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03, 3.05, 3.07 or 6.02, the Company’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such sections and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(iii)to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, and for any unpaid Servicing Fees, the Company’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by the Company from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Company’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of Purchaser except where the Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03, 3.05, 3.07 or 6.02, in which case the Company’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchasers of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such sections and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchasers with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(iv)to pay itself interest on funds deposited in the Custodial Account;

(v)to reimburse itself for expenses incurred and reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 9.01;

(vi)to pay any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.16 related to any REO Property, it being understood that in the case of any such expenditure or withdrawal related to a particular REO Property, the amount of such expenditure or withdrawal from the Custodial Account shall be limited to amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account with respect to the related REO Property;

(vii)to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement; and

(viii)to withdraw funds deposited in error.

In the event that the Custodial Account is interest bearing, on each Remittance Date, the Company shall withdraw all funds from the Custodial Account except for those amounts which, pursuant to Section 5.01, the Company is not obligated to remit on such Remittance Date. The Company may use such withdrawn funds only for the purposes described in this Section 4.05.

Section 4.06 Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Account.

The Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled, “Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., in trust for the EMC Mortgage Corporation, as purchaser of Residential Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans and various Mortgagors”. The Escrow Accounts shall be established with a Qualified Depository, in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit E-1 hereto, in the case of an account established with the Company, or by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit E-2 hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than the Company. A copy of such certification shall be furnished to the Purchaser and, upon request, to any subsequent Purchaser.

The Company shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts within two Business Days of receipt, and retain therein:

(i)all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement; and

(ii)all amounts representing Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property.

The Company shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth in Section 4.07. The Company shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution, other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor. To the extent required by law, the Company shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account may be non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.

Section 4.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by the Company only:

(i)to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, mortgage insurance premiums, condominium charges, fire and hazard insurance premiums or other items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage;

(ii)to reimburse the Company for any Servicing Advances made by the Company pursuant to Section 4.08 with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;

(iii)to refund to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan;

(iv)for transfer to the Custodial Account and application to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note;

(v)for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 4.14;

(vi)to pay to the Company, or any Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account;

(vii)to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement; and

(viii)to withdraw funds deposited in error.

Section 4.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of PMI Policy premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Company in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Company shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Company assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payment of all such charges irrespective of each Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments, and the Company shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

Section 4.09 Protection of Accounts.

The Company may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time. Upon any such transfer, the Company shall promptly notify the Purchaser and deliver to the Purchaser a Custodial Account Certification or Escrow Account Certification (as applicable) in the form of Exhibit D-1 or E-1 to this agreement.

The Company shall bear any expenses, losses or damages sustained by the Purchaser because the Custodial Account and/or the Escrow Account are not demand deposit accounts.

Amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account may at the option of the Company be invested in Eligible Investments; provided that in the event that amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account exceed the amount fully insured by the FDIC (the “Insured Amount”) the Company shall be obligated to invest the excess amount over the Insured Amount in Eligible Investments on the same Business Day as such excess amount becomes present in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account. Any such Eligible Investment shall mature no later than the Determination Date next following the date of such Eligible Investment, provided, however, that if such Eligible Investment is an obligation of a Qualified Depository (other than the Company) that maintains the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account, then such Eligible Investment may mature on such Remittance Date. Any such Eligible Investment shall be made in the name of the Company in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser. All income on or gain realized from any such Eligible Investment shall be for the benefit of the Company and may be withdrawn at any time by the Company. Any losses incurred in respect of any such investment shall be deposited in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account, by the Company out of its own funds immediately as realized.

Section 4.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Company shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard insurance such that all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer rated A:VI or better in the current Best’s Key Rating Guide (“Best’s”) against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the replacement value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor or the loss payee from becoming a co-insurer.

If a Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier rated A:VI or better in Best’s in an amount representing coverage equal to the lesser of (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis (or the unpaid balance of the mortgage if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured) and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Company determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the Fannie Mae Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Company shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Company shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf.

If a Mortgage is secured by a unit in a condominium project, the Company shall verify that the coverage required of the owner’s association, including hazard, flood, liability, and fidelity coverage, is being maintained in accordance with then current Fannie Mae requirements, and secure from the owner’s association its agreement to notify the Company promptly of any change in the insurance coverage or of any condemnation or casualty loss that may have a material effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property as security.

The Company shall cause to be maintained on each Mortgaged Property earthquake or such other or additional insurance as may be required pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance, or pursuant to the requirements of any private mortgage guaranty insurer, or as may be required to conform with Accepted Servicing Practices.

In the event that any Purchaser or the Company shall determine that the Mortgaged Property should be insured against loss or damage by hazards and risks not covered by the insurance required to be maintained by the Mortgagor pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, the Company shall communicate and consult with the Mortgagor with respect to the need for such insurance and bring to the Mortgagor’s attention the desirability of protection of the Mortgaged Property.

All policies required hereunder shall name the Company as loss payee and shall be endorsed with standard or union mortgagee clauses, without contribution, which shall provide for at least 30 days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage.

The Company shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Company shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are rated A:VI or better in Best’s and are licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The Company shall determine that such policies provide sufficient risk coverage and amounts, that they insure the property owner, and that they properly describe the property address. The Company shall furnish to the Mortgagor a formal notice of expiration of any such insurance in sufficient time for the Mortgagor to arrange for renewal coverage by the expiration date.

Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Company under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor, in accordance with the Company’s normal servicing procedures as specified in Section 4.14) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance.

In the event that the Company shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against losses arising from fire and hazards covered under extended coverage on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10. Any amounts collected by the Company under any such policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, the Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account at the time of such loss the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, such amount to deposited from the Company’s funds, without reimbursement therefor. Upon request of any Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days’ prior written notice to such Purchaser.

Section 4.12 Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Company shall maintain with responsible companies, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage Loans (“Company Employees”). Any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Company against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzle-ment, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such Company Employees. Such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy also shall protect and insure the Company against losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall diminish or relieve the Company from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Upon the request of any Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certified true copy of such fidelity bond and insurance policy and a statement from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond and insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser.

Section 4.13 Inspections.

The Company shall inspect the Mortgaged Property as often as deemed necessary by the Company to assure itself that the value of the Mortgaged Property is being preserved. In addition, if any Mortgage Loan is more than 60 days delinquent, the Company immediately shall inspect the Mortgaged Property and shall conduct subsequent inspections in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices or as may be required by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer. The Company shall keep a written report of each such inspection.

Section 4.14 Restoration of Mortgaged Property.

The Company need not obtain the approval of the Purchaser prior to releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. At a minimum, the Company shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds:

(i)the Company shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect thereto;

(ii)the Company shall take all steps necessary to preserve the priority of the lien of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to requiring waivers with respect to mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens;

(iii)the Company shall verify that the Mortgage Loan is not in default; and

(iv)pending repairs or restoration, the Company shall place the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in the Custodial Account.

If the Purchaser is named as an additional loss payee, the Company is hereby empowered to endorse any loss draft issued in respect of such a claim in the name of the Purchaser.

Section 4.15 Maintenance of PMI and LPMI Policy; Claims.

(a) With respect to each Mortgage Loan with a LTV in excess of 95%, the Company shall:

(i) with respect to Mortgage Loans which are not LPMI Loans, in accordance with state and federal laws and without any cost to the Purchaser, maintain or cause the Mortgagor to maintain in full force and effect a PMI Policy with a minimum of 35% coverage insuring that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of 68% (or such other percentage as stated in the related Acknowledgment Agreement) of value, and shall pay or shall cause the Mortgagor to pay the premium thereon on a timely basis, until the LTV of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%. In the event that such PMI Policy shall be terminated, the Company shall obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated PMI Policy, at substantially the same fee level. If the insurer shall cease to be a Qualified Insurer, the Company shall determine whether recoveries under the PMI Policy are jeopardized for reasons related to the financial condition of such insurer, it being understood that the Company shall in no event have any responsibility or liability for any failure to recover under the PMI Policy for such reason. If the Company determines that recoveries are so jeopardized, it shall notify the Purchaser and the Mortgagor, if required, and obtain from another Qualified Insurer a replacement insurance policy. The Company shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any applicable PMI Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Company would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 4.01, the Company shall promptly notify the insurer under the related PMI Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under such PMI Policy. If such PMI Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall obtain a replacement PMI Policy as provided above.

(ii) with respect to LPMI Loans, maintain in full force and effect an LPMI Policy insuring that portion of the Mortgage Loan with a minimum of 35% coverage insuring that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of 68% (or such other percentage as stated in the related Acknowledgment Agreement) of value, and from time to time, withdraw the LPMI Fee with respect to such LPMI Loan from the Custodial Account in order to pay the premium thereon on a timely basis, until the LTV of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%. In the event that the interest payments made with respect to any LPMI Loan are less than the LPMI Fee, the Company shall advance from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall in the LPMI Fee, in payment of the premium on the related LPMI Policy. Any such advance shall be a Servicing Advance subject to reimbursement pursuant to the provisions on Section 2.05. In the event that such LPMI Policy shall be terminated, the Company shall obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated LPMI Policy, at substantially the same fee level. If the insurer shall cease to be a Qualified Insurer, the Company shall determine whether recoveries under the LPMI Policy are jeopardized for reasons related to the financial condition of such insurer, it being understood that the Company shall in no event have any responsibility or liability for any failure to recover under the LPMI Policy for such reason. If the Company determines that recoveries are so jeopardized, it shall notify the Purchaser and the Mortgagor, if required, and obtain from another Qualified Insurer a replacement insurance policy. The Company shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any applicable LPMI Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Company would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Company shall promptly notify the insurer under the related LPMI Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such LPMI Policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under such PMI Policy. If such LPMI Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall obtain a replacement LPMI Policy as provided above.

(b)In connection with its activities as servicer, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Company under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

(c)Purchaser, in its sole discretion, at any time, may (i) either obtain an additional PMI Policy on any Mortgage Loan which already has a PMI Policy in place, or (ii) obtain a PMI Policy for any Mortgage Loan which does not already have a PMI Policy in place. In any event, the Company agrees to administer such PMI Policies in accordance with the Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement.

Section 4.16 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Purchaser, or in the event the Purchaser is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Company from any attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. The Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the Purchaser.

The Company shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Purchaser solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The Company, either itself or through an agent selected by the Company, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Company shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than one year, except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as the Company deems to be in the best interest of the Purchaser.

The Company shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless (i) (A) a REMIC election has not been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property are held, and (ii) the Company determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Purchaser to such effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a period longer than one year is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property the Company shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property.

The Company shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount required above.

The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Company at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Company deems to be in the best interests of the Purchaser. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. As soon as practical thereafter the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Company shall reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees and unreimbursed advances made pursuant to Section 5.03, and on the Remittance Date immediately following the Principal Prepayment Period in which such sale proceeds are received the net cash proceeds of such sale remaining in the Custodial Account shall be distributed to the Purchaser.

The Company shall withdraw the Custodial Account funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 4.10 and the fees of any managing agent of the Company, a Subservicer, or the Company itself. The REO management fee shall be an amount that is reasonable and customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located. The Company shall make monthly distributions on each Remittance Date to the Purchasers of the net cash flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the revenues from such REO Property net of the expenses described in this Section 4.16 and of any reserves reasonably required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such expenses).

Section 4.17 Real Estate Owned Reports.

Together with the statement furnished pursuant to Section 5.02, the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser on or before the Remittance Date each month a statement with respect to any REO Property covering the operation of such REO Property for the previous month and the Company’s efforts in connection with the sale of such REO Property and any rental of such REO Property incidental to the sale thereof for the previous month. That statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Purchaser shall reasonably request.

Section 4.18 Liquidation Reports.

Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Purchaser pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall submit to the Purchaser a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

Section 4.19 Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonments of Mortgaged Property.

Following the foreclosure sale or abandonment of any Mortgaged Property, the Company shall report such foreclosure or abandonment as required pursuant to Section 6050J of the Code.

Section 4.20 Notification of Adjustments.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date and shall adjust the Monthly Payment on the related Payment Adjustment Date in compliance with the requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. If, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note, another index is selected for determining the Mortgage Interest Rate, the same index will be used with respect to each Mortgage Note which requires a new index to be selected, provided that such selection does not conflict with the terms of the related Mortgage Note. The Company shall execute and deliver any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and the Monthly Payment adjustments. The Company shall promptly upon written request thereof, deliver to the Purchaser such notifications and any additional applicable data regarding such adjustments and the methods used to calculate and implement such adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Company, or the Purchaser that the Company has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate or a Monthly Payment pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the Company shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss caused the Purchaser thereby.

ARTICLE V

PAYMENTS TO PURCHASER

Section 5.01 Remittances.

On each Remittance Date the Company shall remit by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Purchaser (a) all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the Determination Date (net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05), plus (b) all amounts, if any, which the Company is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 5.03, minus (c) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments received after the applicable Principal Prepayment Period which amounts shall be remitted on the following Remittance Date, together with any additional interest required to be deposited in the Custodial Account in connection with such Principal Prepayment in accordance with Section 4.04(viii), and minus (d) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the first day of the month of the Remittance Date, which amounts shall be remitted on the Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period for such amounts.

With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the second Business Day following the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus three percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Company on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following such second Business Day and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with the distribution payable on the next succeeding Remittance Date. The payment by the Company of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Company.

Section 5.02 Statements to Purchaser.

Not later than the 10^th day of each calendar month, the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser a Monthly Remittance Advice, with a trial balance report attached thereto, in the form of Exhibit F annexed hereto electronic medium mutually acceptable to the parties as to the preceding calendar month and the Due Period in the month of remittance

In addition, not more than 60 days after the end of each calendar year, the Company shall furnish to each Person who was a Purchaser at any time during such calendar year an annual statement in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal income tax law as to the aggregate of remittances for the applicable portion of such year. Nothing in this Section 5.02 shall be deemed to require the Company to prepare any federal income tax return on Internal Revenue Service Form 1066, U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return, including Schedule Q thereto, Quarterly Notice to Residual Interest Holders of REMIC Taxable Income or Net Loss Allocation, or any successor forms, to be filed on behalf of any REMIC under the REMIC Provisions.

Section 5.03 Monthly Advances by Company.

On the Business Day immediately preceding each Remittance Date, either (a) the Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds or (b) if funds are on deposit in the Custodial Account which are not required to be remitted on the related Remittance Date, the Company may make an appropriate entry in its records that such funds shall be applied toward the related Monthly Advance (provided, that any funds so applied shall be replaced by the Company no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Remittance Date), in each case, in an aggregate amount equal to all Monthly Payments (with interest adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate) which were due on the Mortgage Loans during the applicable Due Period and which were delinquent at the close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date or which were deferred pursuant to Section 4.01. The Company’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, or through the last Remittance Date prior to the Remittance Date for the distribution of all Liquidation Proceeds and other payments or recoveries (including Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the Mortgage Loan.

In no event shall the Company be obligated to make an advance under this section 5.03 if at the time of such advance it deems such advance to be non-recoverable. The Company shall promptly deliver an officer’s certificate to the Purchaser upon determining that any advance is non-recoverable. In the event that upon liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to reimburse the Company for any Monthly Advances, the Company shall notify the related Purchaser of such shortfall by registered mail with sufficient supporting documentation and shall have the right to deduct such shortfall from the next remittance to be paid to the related Purchaser.

ARTICLE VI

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

Section 6.01Transfers of Mortgaged Property.

The Company shall use its best efforts to enforce any “due-on-sale” provision contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note and to deny assumption by the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be sold whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Company shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale” clause applicable thereto, provided, however, that the Company shall not exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related PMI or LPMI Policy, if any.

If the Company reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Company shall enter into (i) an assumption and modification agreement with the person to whom such property has been conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and the original Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) in the event the Company is unable under applicable law to require that the original Mortgagor remain liable under the Mortgage Note and the Company has the prior consent of the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, a substitution of liability agreement with the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. If an assumption fee is collected by the Company for entering into an assumption agreement, a portion of such fee, up to an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, will be retained by the Company as additional servicing compensation, and any portion thereof in excess one percent (1.0%) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account for the benefit of the Purchaser. In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, neither the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Index, the Lifetime Mortgage Interest Rate Cap, the Initial Rate Cap or the Gross Margin of any Mortgage Loan, nor the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan shall be changed.

To the extent that any Mortgage Loan is assumable, the Company shall inquire diligently into the creditworthiness of the proposed transferee, and shall use the underwriting criteria for approving the credit of the proposed transferee which are used by Fannie Mae with respect to underwriting mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans. If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Company diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan.

Section 6.02 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Company of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Company shall notify the Purchaser in the Monthly Remittance Advice as provided in Section 5.02, and may request the release of any Mortgage Loan Documents. In connection with any such prepayment in full, the Company shall comply with all applicable laws regarding satisfaction, release or reconveyance with respect to the Mortgage.

If the Company satisfies or releases a Mortgage without first having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should the Company otherwise prejudice any rights the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, upon written demand of the Purchaser, the Company shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account within 2 Business Days of receipt of such demand by the Purchaser. The Company shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy as provided for in Section 4.12 insuring the Company against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

Section 6.03 Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account or to retain from interest payments on the Mortgage Loans the amount of its Servicing Fee. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly and shall be computed on the basis of the same unpaid principal balance and for the period respecting which any related interest payment on a Mortgage Loan is computed. The Servicing Fee shall be payable only at the time of and with respect to those Mortgage Loans for which payment is in fact made of the entire amount of the Monthly Payment. The obligation of the Purchaser to pay the Servicing Fee is limited to, and payable solely from, the interest portion of such Monthly Payments collected by the Company.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, to the extent provided in Section 6.01, and late payment charges and Prepayment Penalties, shall be retained by the Company to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Company shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for herein. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Principal Prepayment in full, the Company shall not waive, and shall not permit the waiver of, any Prepayment Penalty or portion thereof required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note unless (i) the Company determines that such waiver would maximize recovery of Liquidations Proceeds for such Mortgage Loan, taking into account the value of such Prepayment Penalty, or (ii) (A) the enforeceability therefore is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, or other similar law relating to creditors’ rights generally or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment or (B) the enforceability is otherwise limited or prohibited by applicable law.

Section 6.04 Annual Statement as to Compliance.

The Company shall deliver to the Purchaser, on or before May 31 each year beginning May 31, 2003, an Officer’s Certificate, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Company during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision, and (ii) the Company has complied fully with the provisions of Article II and Article IV, and (iii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Company has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof and the action being taken by the Company to cure such default.

Section 6.05 Annual Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.

On or before May 31st of each year beginning May 31, 2003, the Company, at its expense, shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to each Purchaser to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and this Agreement and that such firm is of the opinion that the provisions of Article II and Article IV have been complied with, and that, on the basis of such examination conducted substantially in compliance with the Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, nothing has come to their attention which would indicate that such servicing has not been conducted in compliance therewith, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement.

Section 6.06 Right to Examine Company Records.

The Purchaser shall have the right to examine and audit any and all of the books, records, or other information of the Company, whether held by the Company or by another on its behalf, with respect to or concerning this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, during business hours or at such other times as may be reasonable under applicable circumstances, upon reasonable advance notice.

WITNE&#1 60;SSETH :

WHEREAS, Cendant Mortgage is engaged in the business, interalia, of making loans to individuals, the repayment of which is secured by a first lien mortgage on such individuals’ residences (each, a “Mortgage Loan”). The Trust is engaged in the business of purchasing such Mortgage Loans from Cendant Mortgage and selling same to investors.

The applicable provisions of the Cendant Guide are attached hereto as Exhibit H. The Purchaser has heretofore agreed to purchase from the Company and the Company has heretofore agreed to sell to the Purchaser, from time to time, certain Mortgage Loans on a servicing retained basis, pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement, which may be executed from time to time, by and between the Company and the Purchaser (the "Confirmation").

No transfer of a Mortgage Loan may be made unless such transfer is in compliance with the terms hereof. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall be under no obligation to deal with any person with respect to this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan unless a notice of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan has been delivered to the Company in accordance with this Section 2.06 and the books and records of the Company show such person as the owner of the Mortgage Loan. The Purchaser may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, sell and transfer one or more of the Mortgage Loans, provided, however, that the transferee will not be deemed to be a Purchaser hereunder binding upon the Company unless such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and an original counterpart of the instrument of transfer in an Assignment and Assumption of this Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto executed by the transferee shall have been delivered to the Company.

If delivery is not completed within 120 days solely due to delays in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, Company shall deliver such document to Purchaser, or its designee, within such time period as specified in a Company's Officer's Certificate. In the event that documents have not been received by the date specified in the Company's Officer's Certificate, a subsequent Company's Officer's Certificate shall be delivered by such date specified in the prior Company's Officer's Certificate, stating a revised date for receipt of documentation. The procedure shall be repeated until the documents have been received and delivered. If delivery is not completed within 180 days solely due to delays in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Company shall continue to use its best efforts to effect delivery as soon as possible thereafter, provided that if such documents are not delivered by the 270th day from the date of the related Closing Date, the Company shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loans at the Repurchase Price in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof.

If the Purchaser or its designee discovers any defect with respect to a Mortgage File, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designee to, give written specification of such defect to the Company which may be given in the exception report or the certification delivered pursuant to this Section 2.07, or otherwise in writing and the Company shall cure or repurchase such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 3.03.

The Company shall forward to the Purchaser, or its designee, original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with Section 4.01 or 6.01 within one week of their execution; provided, however, that the Company shall provide the Purchaser, or its designee, with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within one week of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within sixty (60) days of its submission for recordation.

From time to time the Company may have a need for Mortgage Loan Documents to be released from Purchaser, or its designee. Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designee, upon the written request of the Company, within ten (10) Business Days, deliver to the Company, any requested documentation previously delivered to Purchaser as part of the Mortgage File, provided that such documentation is promptly returned to Purchaser, or its designee, when the Company no longer requires possession of the document, and provided that during the time that any such documentation is held by the Company, such possession is in trust for the benefit of Purchaser. Company shall indemnify Purchaser, and its designee, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorney's fees) resulting from or related to the loss, damage, or misplacement of any documentation delivered to Company pursuant to this paragraph.

Section 2.08Quality Control Procedures.

The Company must have an internal quality control program that verifies, on a regular basis, the existence and accuracy of the legal documents, credit documents, property appraisals, and underwriting decisions. The program must be capable of evaluating and monitoring the overall quality of its loan production and servicing activities. The program is to ensure that the Mortgage Loans are originated by Company and serviced by Servicer in accordance with all legal requirements and with prudent mortgage banking practices and accounting principles; guard against dishonest, fraudulent, or negligent acts; and guard against errors and omissions by officers, employees, or other authorized persons.

Section 2.09 Near-term Principal Prepayments; Near Term Payment Defaults

In the event any Principal Prepayment is made by a Mortgagor on or prior to three months after the related Closing Date, the Company shall remit to the Purchaser an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Purchase Price Percentage over par multiplied by the amount of such Principal Prepayment. Such remittance shall be made by the Company to Purchaser no later than the third Business Day following receipt of such Principal Prepayment by the Company. Company shall retain any prepayment fee collected from the borrower in connection with such Prepaid Loan for which the Company is obligated to remit the Premium to Purchaser.

Section 2.10 Modification of Obligations. Purchaser may, without any notice to Company, extend, compromise, renew, release, change, modify, adjust or alter, by operation of law or otherwise, any of the obligations of the Mortgagors or other persons obligated under a Mortgage Loan without releasing or otherwise affecting the obligations of Company under this Agreement, or with respect to such Mortgage Loan, except to the extent Purchaser’s extension, compromise, release, change, modification, adjustment, or alteration affects Company’s ability to collect the Mortgage Loan or realize on the security of the Mortgage, but then only to the extent such action has such effect.

(d) There is no litigation, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of Company’s knowledge, threatened, or any order or decree outstanding, with respect to the Company which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the execution, delivery, performance or enforceability of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, or which is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.

(e) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of or compliance by the Company with this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, or the sale or servicing of the Mortgage Loans and delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Purchaser or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, except for consents, approvals, authorizations and orders which have been obtained;

(f) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the related Term Sheet is in the ordinary course of business of the Company, and the transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or the related Term Sheet are not subject to bulk transfer or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction;

(g) The origination and servicing practices used by the Company and any prior originator or servicer with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been legal and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and the Mortgage Loan Documents, and in all material respects proper and prudent in the mortgage origination and servicing business. Each Mortgage Loan has been serviced in all material respects with Accepted Servicing Practices. With respect to escrow deposits and payments that the Company, on behalf of an investor, is entitled to collect, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Company, and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All escrow payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law and the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage. As to any Mortgage Loan that is the subject of an escrow, escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every escrowed item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or other charges or payments due under the Mortgage Note have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note;

(h) The Company used no selection procedures that identified the Mortgage Loans as being less desirable or valuable than other comparable mortgage loans in the Company's portfolio at the related Cut-off Date;

(i)The Company will treat the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser as a sale for reporting and accounting purposes and, to the extent appropriate, for federal income tax purposes;

(j)Company is an approved seller/servicer of residential mortgage loans for Fannie Mae, FHLMC and HUD, with such facilities, procedures and personnel necessary for the sound servicing of such mortgage loans. The Company is duly qualified, licensed, registered and otherwise authorized under all applicable federal, state and local laws, and regulations, and is in good standing to sell mortgage loans to and service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae and FHLMC and no event has occurred which would make Company unable to comply with eligibility requirements or which would require notification to either Fannie Mae or FHLMC;

(k)The Company does not believe, nor does it have any cause or reason to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in this Agreement or the related Term Sheet. The Company is solvent and the sale of the Mortgage Loans will not cause the Company to become insolvent. The sale of the Mortgage Loans is not undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of the Company's creditors;

(l)No statement, tape, diskette, form, report or other document prepared by, or on behalf of, Company pursuant to this Agreement or the related Term Sheet or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, contains or will contain any statement that is or will be inaccurate or misleading in any material respect;

(m) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Servicing Fee represents reasonable compensation for Servicer to perform such services and that the entire Servicing Fee shall be treated by the Company, for accounting and tax purposes, as compensation for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement. In the opinion of Company, the consideration received by Company upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser under this Agreement and the related Term Sheet constitutes fair consideration for the Mortgage Loans under current market conditions.

(n) Cendant Mortgage has delivered to the Purchaser financial statements as to its last two fiscal years. Except as has previously been disclosed to the Purchaser in writing: (a) such financial statements fairly present the results of operations and changes in financial position for such period and the financial position at the end of such period of Cendant Mortgage and its subsidiaries; and (b) such financial statements are true, correct and complete as of their respective dates and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout the periods involved except as set forth in the notes thereto.

Except as has previously been disclosed to the Purchaser in writing , there has been no change in such Trust Financials since their date and the Trust is not aware of any errors or omissions therein;

(o) The Company has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person that may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loans;

Section 3.02Representations and Warranties as to

Individual Mortgage Loans.

References in this Section to percentages of Mortgage Loans refer in each case to the percentage of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the related Cut-off Date, based on the outstanding Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans as of the related Cut-off Date, and giving effect to scheduled Monthly Payments due on or prior to the related Cut-off Date, whether or not received. References to percentages of Mortgaged Properties refer, in each case, to the percentages of expected aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans (determined as described in the preceding sentence). The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as to each Mortgage Loan, as of the related Closing Date as follows:

(a) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the related Term Sheet is true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the related Cut-Off Date;

(b) Intentionally Omitted;

(c) All payments due prior to the related Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan have been made as of the related Closing Date; the Mortgage Loan has not been dishonored; there are no material defaults under the terms of the Mortgage Loan; the Company has not advanced its own funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Loan. As of the related Closing Date, all of the Mortgage Loans will have an actual interest paid to date of their related Cut-off Date (or later) and will be due for the scheduled monthly payment next succeeding the Cut-off Date (or later), as evidenced by a posting to Company's servicing collection system. No payment under any Mortgage Loan is delinquent as of the related Closing Date nor has any scheduled payment been delinquent at any time since the origination of the twelve (12) months prior to the month of the related Closing Date. For purposes of this paragraph, a Mortgage Loan will be deemed delinquent if any payment due thereunder was not paid by the Mortgagor in the month such payment was due;

(d) There are no defaults by Company in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents (and maintenance charges with respect to Cooperative Loans) which previously became due and owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable;

(e) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which have been recorded to the extent any such recordation is required by law, or, necessary to protect the interest of the Purchaser. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed except in connection with a modification agreement and which modification agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms thereof except in connection with an assumption agreement and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and title insurance policy, to the extent required by the related policies;

(f) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto; and as of the related Closing Date the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding;

(g) All buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable under the Fannie Mae or FHLMC Guides, against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided for in the Fannie Mae or FHLMC Guide, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. All such standard hazard policies are in full force and effect and contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Company and its successors in interest and assigns as loss payee and such clause is still in effect and all premiums due thereon have been paid. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration which policy conforms to Fannie Mae or FHLMC requirements, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. Such policy was issued by an insurer acceptable under Fannie Mae or FHLMC guidelines. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefore from the Mortgagor. Neither the Company (nor any prior originator or servicer of any of the Mortgage Loans) nor any Mortgagor has engaged in any act or omission which has impaired or would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either;

(h) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with in all material respects; the Company maintains, and shall maintain, evidence of such compliance as required by applicable law or regulation and shall make such evidence available for inspection at the Company's office during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice. None of the Mortgage Loans are classified as a (a) a “high cost” loan under the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or (b) a “high cost”, “threshold”, or “predatory” loan under any other applicable state, federal or local law;

(i) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled or subordinated, in whole or in part, or rescinded, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Company has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Company waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;

(j)(i) With respect to each Mortgage Loan other than a Cooperative Loan, the Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien or first priority ownership interest in an estate in fee simple on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems affixed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing securing the Mortgage Note's original principal balance subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors. The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note do not contain any evidence of any security interest or other interest or right thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage subject only to (1) the lien of non-delinquent current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and either (A) which are referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan, or (B) which do not adversely affect the residential use or Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal, and (3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not individually or in the aggregate materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein, and the Company has the full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser; and (ii) with respect to each Cooperative Loan, the Mortgage creates a first lien or first priority interest on the property securing the related Mortgage Note, free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage, subject only to (a) the lien of the related Cooperative housing corporation for unpaid assessments, (b) the related Proprietary Lease being subordinated or otherwise subject to the mortgage on the related Cooperative building, and (c) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property;

(k) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine (including in the case of a Cooperative Loan, the Cooperative Shares, the Proprietary Lease, and the Recognition Agreement ) and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors, and the Company has taken all action necessary to transfer such rights of enforceability to the Purchaser. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and with respect to a Cooperative Loan, the related Proprietary Lease and Recognition Agreement. The Mortgage Loan Documents are on forms acceptable to Fannie Mae and FHLMC. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of Company or the Mortgagor, or on the part of any other party involved in the origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed prior to the Cut-off Date provided that, with respect to any Mortgage Loan originated within the previous 120 days, alterations and repairs with respect to the related Mortgaged Property or any part thereof may have required an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to pay for all outstanding work within 120 days of the origination of such Mortgage Loan, and, if so, such funds are held in escrow by the Seller, a title company or other escrow agent. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;

(l) The Company is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser, the Company will retain the Mortgage File or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee in trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of the Mortgage Loan. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the Purchaser, the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, were not subject to an assignment, sale or pledge to any person other than Purchaser, and the Company had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner thereof and had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest and has the full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign the Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of the Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. The Company intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan, except for the purposes of servicing the Mortgage Loan as set forth in this Agreement. After the related Closing Date, the Company will not have any right to modify or alter the terms of the sale of the Mortgage Loan and the Company will not have any obligation or right to repurchase the Mortgage Loan or substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to by the Company and the Purchaser;

(m) Each Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC (including adjustable rate endorsements), issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (j)(1), (2) and (3) above) the Company, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. The Company, its successors and assigns, is the sole insured of such lender's title insurance policy, such title insurance policy has been duly and validly endorsed to the Purchaser or the assignment to the Purchaser of the Company's interest therein does not require the consent of or notification to the insurer and such lender's title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including the Company, nor any Mortgagor, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;

(n) There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration; and neither the Company, nor any prior mortgagee has waived any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration;

(o) There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage;

(p) All improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly within the project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in clause (m) above and all improvements on the property or the related Cooperative Unit or Cooperative Building comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances;

(q) Each Mortgage Loan was originated by or for the Company pursuant to, and conforms with, the Company’s underwriting guidelines attached as Exhibit H hereto, unless Purchaser has agreed in writing to purchase a Mortgage Loan that does not conform with Exhibit H, in which case the Mortgage Loan was originated in conformity with the guidelines provided by Purchaser for that Mortgage Loan. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan bears interest at an adjustable rate as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. Monthly Payments under the Mortgage Note are due and payable on the first day of each month. The Mortgage contains the usual and enforceable provisions of the Company at the time of origination for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder;

(r) The Mortgaged Property (and in the case of a Cooperative Loan, the Cooperative Unit thereto) is not subject to any material damage. At origination of the Mortgage Loan there was not, since origination of the Mortgage Loan there has not been, and there currently is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property or the Cooperative Unit or Cooperative Building. The Company has not received notification that any such proceedings are scheduled to commence at a future date;

(s) The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (1) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (2) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage;

(t) If the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified if required under applicable law to act as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses, except as may be required by local law, are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale or attempted sale after default by the Mortgagor;

(u) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the final approval of the mortgage loan application by a Qualified Appraiser, approved by the Company, who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Fannie Mae or FHLMC and Title XI of the Federal Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated. The appraisal is in a form acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC;

(v) All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (A) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (B) (1) organized under the laws of such state, or (2) qualified to do business in such state, or (3) federal savings and loan associations or national banks or a Federal Home Loan Bank or savings bank having principal offices in such state, or (4) not doing business in such state. All parties doing business under an assumed name have had such name approved in each jurisdiction where such approval is required;

(w) The related Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to above and such collateral does not serve as security for any other obligation;

(x) The Mortgagor has received and has executed, where applicable, all disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to the making of such mortgage loans;

(y) The Mortgage Loan does not contain balloon or "graduated payment" features; No Mortgage Loan is subject to a buydown agreement or contains any buydown provision;

(z) The Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy and, the Mortgagor is not insolvent and the Company has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit standing that could reasonably be expected to cause investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or materially adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan;

(aa) Each Mortgage Loan bears interest based upon a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred and sixty (360) day year. The Mortgage Loans have an original term to maturity of not more than thirty (30) years, with interest payable in arrears on the first day of each month. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, on each applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate will be adjusted to equal the sum of the Index, plus the applicable Margin; provided, that the Mortgage Interest Rate, on each applicable Adjustment Date, will not increase by more than the Initial Rate Cap or Periodic Rate Cap, as applicable. Over the term of each Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Interest Rate will not exceed such Mortgage Loan's Lifetime Rate Cap. None of the Mortgage Loans are “interest-only” Mortgage Loans or “negative amortization” Mortgage Loans. Each Mort-gage Note requires a monthly payment which is suffi-cient (a) during the period prior to the first adjust-ment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, and (b) during the period following each Adjust-ment Date, to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such period over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note provides that when the Mortgage Interest Rate changes on an Adjustment Date, the then outstanding principal balance will be reamortized over the remaining life of the Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provi-sions which would result in negative amortization. None of the Mortgage Loans contain a conversion feature which would cause the Mortgage Loan interest rate to convert to a fixed interest rate. None of the Mortgage Loans are considered agricultural loans;

(hh)In the event the Mortgage Loan (other than any Mortgage Loan constituting either a “Custom Finance A-”, “Foreign National; Non-Warrantable Condominium,” “Condotels”, or “BASF 100% Guaranty”, all has been defined in the Underwriting Guidelines attached as Exhibit H) had an LTV at origination greater than 80.00%, the excess of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan over 75.0% of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property with respect to a Refinanced Mortgage Loan, or the lesser of the Appraised Value or the purchase price of the Mortgaged Property with respect to a purchase money Mortgage Loan was insured as to payment defaults by a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer in the following amounts:

Fixed Rate Mortgages	15 Year Mortgages	30 Year Mortgages
	As set forth below coverage of no less than ___% of Stated Principal Balance	As set forth below coverage of no less than __% of Stated Principal Balance

Fixed Rate Mortgages	15 Year Mortgages	30 Year Mortgages
LTVs 90.01% - 95%:	25%	30%
LTVs 85.01% - 90%:	12%	25%

No Mortgage Loan has an LTV over 95%. All provisions of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No Mortgage Loan requires payment of such premiums, in whole or in part, by the Purchaser. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, subject to state and federal law, and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. No action has been taken or failed to be taken, on or prior to the Closing Date which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Company or the Mortgagor, or for any other reason under such coverage; The mortgage interest rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium. None of the Mortgage Loans are subject to “lender-paid” mortgage insurance;

(ii)The Assignment is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;

(jj)None of the Mortgage Loans are secured by an interest in a leasehold estate. The Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists (except for a Cooperative Loan) of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a townhouse, or a two-to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development, provided, however, that no residence or dwelling is a single parcel of real property with a manufactured home not affixed to a permanent foundation, or a mobile home. Any condominium unit or planned unit development conforms with the Company’s underwriting guidelines. As of the date of origination, no portion of any Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes, and since the Origination Date, no portion of any Mortgaged Property has been, or currently is, used for commercial purposes;

(kk)Payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after the funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in monthly installments of principal and interest. For adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, the installments are subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears. Each of the Mortgage Loans will amortize fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than thirty years from commencement of amortization;

(ll)As of the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property was lawfully occupied under applicable law, and all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities;

(mm)There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; there is no violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgaged Property; and the Company has not received any notice of any environmental hazard on the Mortgaged Property and nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property;

(nn)The Mortgagor has not notified the Company, and the Company has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940;

(oo) No Mortgage Loan is a construction or rehabilitation Mortgage Loan or was made to facilitate the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property;

(pp)The Mortgagor for each Mortgage Loan is a natural person;

(qq)Intentionally Omitted;

(rr) With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a prepayment fee feature, each such prepayment fee is enforceable and will be enforced by the Company and each prepayment fee is permitted pursuant to federal, state and local law. No Mortgage Loan will impose a prepayment fee for a term in excess of five years from the date such Mortgage Loan was originated. Except as otherwise set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that contains a prepayment penalty, such prepayment penalty is at least equal to the lesser of (A) the maximum amount permitted under applicable law and (B) six months interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate on the amount prepaid in excess of 20% of the original principal balance of such Mortgage Loan;

(ss) With respect to each Mortgage Loan either (i) the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property securing such Mortgage Loan was at least equal to 80 percent of the original principal balance of such Mortgage Loan at the time such Mortgage Loan was originated or (ii) (a) the Mortgage Loan is only secured by the Mortgaged Property and (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire or to improve or protect the Mortgage Property. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, if the Mortgage Loan has been significantly modified other than as a result of a default or a reasonable foreseeable default, the modified Mortgage Loan will be viewed as having been originated on the date of the modification;

(tt) The Mortgage Loan was originated by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority;

(uu) None of the Mortgage Loans are simple interest Mortgage Loans and none of the Mortgaged Properties are timeshares;

(vv) All of the terms of any adjustable rate Mortgage Loan pertaining to interest rate adjustments, payment adjustments and adjustments of the outstanding principal balance are enforceable, all such adjustments have been properly made, including the mailing of required notices, and such adjustments do not and will not affect the priority of the Mortgage lien. With respect to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan which has passed its initial Adjustment Date, Company has performed an audit of the Mortgage Loan to determine whether all interest rate adjustments have been made in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage; and

(ww) Each Mortgage Note, each Mortgage, each Assignment and any other documents required pursuant to this Agreement to be delivered to the Purchaser or its designee, or its assignee for each Mortgage Loan, have been, on or before the related Closing Date, delivered to the Purchaser or its designee, or its assignee.

(xx)With respect to each Cooperative Loan (i) there is no provision in the Proprietary Lease which requires the Mortgagor to offer for sale the shares owned by such Mortgagor first to the Cooperative for a price less than the outstanding amount of the Cooperative Loan, (ii) there is no prohibition the Proprietary Lease against pledging such shares or assigning the Proprietary Lease that has been violated in connection with the origination of the Cooperative Loan, and (iii) the Recognition Agreement provided by the Cooperative is substantially in the form of the “AZTECH” form of agreement or includes provisions which are not materially less favorable to the lender than those of such AZTECH form of agreement;

(yy) With respect to each Cooperative Loan, as of the closing of such Cooperative Loan, the Company obtained evidence that, if the Cooperative Building is in a federally designated flood area, a flood insurance policy has been obtained in an amount equal to at least that required by applicable law, which insurance the Cooperative is obligated to maintain at the Cooperative’s cost and expense;

(zz)With respect to each Cooperative Loan, as of the Closing Date, such Cooperative Loan is secured by shares held by a “tenant-stockholder” of a corporation that qualifies as a “cooperative housing corporation” as such terms are defined in Section 216 (b) (1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to the best of the Company’s knowledge, no Cooperative is subject to proceedings which would, if adversely determined, result in such Cooperative losing its status as a “cooperative housing corporation” under Section 216 (b) (1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; and

(aa)With respect to each Cooperative Loan, the related Mortgage creates a perfected first-priority security interest in the stock in the Cooperative and the Proprietary Lease of the related Cooperative Unit which were pledged to secure such Cooperative Loan, and the Cooperative owns the Cooperative building as an estate in fee simple in real property or pursuant to a lease hold acceptable to Fannie Mae.

Section 3.03Repurchase; Substitution.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery of the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Purchaser, or its designee, and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination, or lack of examination, of any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by either the Company or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser in any Mortgage Loan, or the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. Company shall have a period of sixty (60)days from the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such breach within which to correct or cure such breach. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that if any such is not corrected or cured within such sixty day period, the Company shall, at the Purchaser's option and not later than ninety (90) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of such breach, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price or, with the repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price or, with the Purchaser's prior consent and at Purchaser’s sole option, substitute a Mortgage Loan, subject to Purchaser’s acceptance of such substitute Loan, which Loan must comply with all of Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. In the event that any such breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01, and such breach is not cured within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company of such breach, all Mortgage Loans shall, at the option of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Company at the Repurchase Price.

The Company shall amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the removed Mortgage Loan from this Agreement and the substitution of such substitute Mortgage Loan therefore. Upon such amendment, the Purchaser shall review the Mortgage File delivered to it relating to the substitute Mortgage Loan. In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Purchaser and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Company. The principal payment on a substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the Company and the principal payment on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on such date shall be the property of the Purchaser.

It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Company set forth in this Section 3.03 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan, and to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. If the Company fails to repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.03, or fails to cure a defective Mortgage Loan to Purchaser's reasonable satisfaction in accordance with this Section 3.03, or to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, that failure shall be an Event of Default and the Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue all remedies available in this Agreement as a result thereof. No provision of this paragraph shall affect the rights of the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement for cause, as set forth in Sections 10.01 and 11.01.

Any cause of action against the Company relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) the earlier of discovery of such breach by the Company or notice thereof by the Purchaser to the Company, (ii) failure by the Company to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Company by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.

In the event that any Mortgage Loan is held by a REMIC, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or as to which no default is imminent, no substitution pursuant to Subsection 3.03 shall be made after the applicable REMIC's "start up day" (as defined in Section 860G(a) (9) of the Code), unless the Company has obtained an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of such REMIC (as defined in Section 860F of the Code) or otherwise subject the REMIC to tax, or (ii) cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 4.01Servicing; General.

The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, with this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and with Accepted Servicing Practices, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and with Accepted Servicing Practices and exercise the same care that it customarily employs for its own account. Except as set forth in this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, the Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides (special servicing option), which include, but are not limited to, provisions regarding the liquidation of Mortgage Loans, the collection of Mortgage Loan payments, the payment of taxes, insurance and other charges, the maintenance of hazard insurance with a Qualified Insurer, the maintenance of mortgage impairment insurance, the maintenance of fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance, inspections, the restoration of Mortgaged Property, the maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, insurance claims, the title, management and disposition of REO Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property, the transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Files, annual statements, and examination of records and facilities. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing provisions of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and any of the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides, the provisions of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet shall control and be binding upon the Purchaser and the Company.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Company's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Purchaser, provided, however, that unless the Company has obtained the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Company shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer for more than ninety days or forgive any payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such modification which has been agreed to in writing by the Purchaser and which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 4.04, the difference between (a) such month's principal and one month's interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances pursuant to Section 4.05. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Servicer may not enter into a forbearance agreement or similar arrangement with respect to any Mortgage Loan which runs more than 180 days after the first delinquent Due Date. Any such agreement shall be approved by Purchaser and, if required, by the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy insurer, if required.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Mortgage Loan becomes subject to a Pass-Through Transfer, the Servicer (a) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, shall not permit any modification with respect to such Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate and (b) shall not (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to such Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Company, reasonably foreseeable) make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of such Mortgage Loan that would both (i) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (ii) 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.

Prior to taking any action with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject to a Pass-Through Transfer, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer will obtain an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the trustee in such Pass-Through Transfer with respect to whether such action could result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (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”), and the Servicer shall not take any such actions as to which it has been advised that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.

The Servicer shall not permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in any REMIC. The Servicer shall not enter into any arrangement by which a REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit a 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.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall employ Accepted Servicing Practices, giving due consideration to the Purchaser's reliance on the Company. Unless a different time period is stated in this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, Purchaser shall be deemed to have given consent in connection with a particular matter if Purchaser does not affirmatively grant or deny consent within five (5) Business Days from the date Purchaser receives a second written request for consent for such matter from Servicer as servicer.

The Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by a Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer provided that the Subservicer is an entity that engages in the business of servicing loans, and in either case shall be authorized to transact business, and licensed to service mortgage loans, in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Subservicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Subservicing Agreement, and in either case shall be a FHLMC or Fannie Mae approved mortgage servicer in good standing, and no event has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage, which would make it unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for lenders imposed by Fannie Mae or for seller/servicers imposed by Fannie Mae or FHLMC, or which would require notification to Fannie Mae or FHLMC. In addition, each Subservicer will obtain and preserve its qualifications to do business as a foreign corporation and its licenses to service mortgage loans, in each jurisdiction in which such qualifications and/or licenses are or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform or cause to be performed its duties under the related Subservicing Agreement. The Servicer may perform any of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause the Subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Servicer of the Subservicer shall not release the Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and the Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of the Subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Company. The Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of the Subservicer from its own funds, and the Subservicer's fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee. Servicer shall notify Purchaser promptly in writing upon the appointment of any Subservicer.

At the cost and expense of the Servicer, without any right of reimbursement from the Custodial Account, the Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor subservicer meeting the requirements in the preceding paragraph, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Company, at the Company's option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the Company's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 4.13, 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01 and if requested to do so by the Purchaser, the Servicer shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer effective as of the date of termination of the Company. The Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer from the Servicer’s own funds without reimbursement from the Purchaser.

Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and the Subservicer or any reference herein to actions taken through the Subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall not be relieved of its obligations to the Purchaser and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with the Subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by the Subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. The Servicer will indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any loss, liability or expense arising out of its use of a Subservicer to perform any of its servicing duties, responsibilities and obligations hereunder.

Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving the Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and Servicer alone, and the Purchaser shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of Purchaser to pay the Subservicer's fees and expenses. For purposes of distributions and advances by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when the Subservicer has received such payment.

Section 4.02Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the Servicer will proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, Accepted Servicing Practices, and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Further, the Servicer will take special care in ascertaining and estimating annual escrow payments, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable, so that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

In no event will the Servicer waive its right to any prepayment fee or premium without the prior written consent of Purchaser and Servicer will use diligent efforts to collect same when due except as otherwise provided in the prepayment penalty rider to the Mortgage.

Section 4.03Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage

The Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Servicer would use in servicing loans for its own account, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and the best interest of Purchaser, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans 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 4.01. Foreclosure or comparable proceedings shall be initiated within ninety (90) days of default for Mortgaged Properties for which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, subject to state and federal law and regulation. The Servicer shall use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Purchaser, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Servicer through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. Servicer shall obtain prior approval of Purchaser as to repair or restoration expenses in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). The Servicer shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings and not less than 5 days prior to the acceptance or rejection of any offer of reinstatement. The Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings or functions; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector at the Purchaser's expense. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Purchaser shall determine how the Servicer shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser's sole option, terminate the Servicer as servicer of any Mortgage Loan which becomes ninety (90) days or greater delinquent in payment of a scheduled Monthly Payment, without payment of any termination fee with respect thereto, provided that the Servicer shall on the date said termination takes effect be reimbursed for any unreimbursed advances of the Company's funds made pursuant to Section 5.03 and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees in each case relating to the Mortgage Loan underlying such delinquent Mortgage Loan notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.05. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof shall apply to said termination and the transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect to such delinquent Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser or its designee.

In the event that a Mortgage Loan becomes part of a REMIC, and becomes REO Property, such property shall be disposed of by the Company, with the consent of Purchaser as required pursuant to this Agreement, before the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, unless the Servicer provides to the trustee under such REMIC an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the transaction to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that certificates are outstanding. Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each such REO Property for the certificate holders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(E) of the Code, or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC provisions of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by Company, protect and conserve such property in the same manner and to such an extent as is customary in the locality where such property is located. Additionally, Servicer shall perform the tax withholding and reporting related to Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code.

Section 4.04Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits

                            in Custodial Accounts.

The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts.

(x) any amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.01, 4.13 or 6.02.

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer and the Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 (iv). The Purchaser shall not be responsible for any losses suffered with respect to investment of funds in the Custodial Account.

Section 4.05Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.

The Servicer may, from time to time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i)to make payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01;

(ii) to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Company's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made, it being understood that, in the case of such reimbursement, the Company's right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that, where the Servicer is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 3.03, the Company's right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such Section and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(iii) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees(or REO administration fees described in Section 4.13), the Company's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related proceeds from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement; any recovery shall be made upon liquidation of the REO Property;

(iv)to pay to itself as part of its servicing compensation (a) any interest earned on funds in the Custodial Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Remittance Date), and (b) the Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery as to interest with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan;

(v)to pay to itself with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has been repurchased pursuant to Section 3.03 all amounts received thereon and not distributed as of the date on which the related repurchase price is determined,

Section 4.06Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts.

The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts. The Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds deposited in each Escrow Account shall at all times be insured in a manner to provide maximum insurance under the insurance limitations of the FDIC, or must be invested in Permitted Investments.Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit C. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and upon request to any subsequent purchaser.

The Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, and retain therein:

(i)all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement;

(ii)all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property; and

(iii)all Servicing Advances for Mortgagors whose Escrow Payments are insufficient to cover escrow disbursements.

The Servicer shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set forth or in accordance with Section 4.07. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.The Purchaser shall not be responsible for any losses suffered with respect to investment of funds in the Escrow Account.

Section 4.07Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by Servicer only:

(i)to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, fire and hazard insurance premiums, condominium assessments and comparable items;

(ii)to reimburse Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;

(iv)for transfer to the Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Escrow Account, to the extent required by law, and to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient, shall pay such interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefore; and

(viii) to pay to the Mortgagors or other parties Insurance Proceeds deposited in accordance with Section 4.06.

Section 4.08Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of primary mortgage insurance premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

The Servicer will maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be terminated only with the approval of Purchaser, or as required by applicable law or regulation. The Servicer will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any Private Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.09Transfer of Accounts.

The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Eligible Account from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 4.10Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC and customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, each Mortgage Loan shall be covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in effect with an insurance carrier acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the Fannie Mae Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Servicer shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Servicer shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf. The Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need be required by the Servicer of the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to this Agreement, the Fannie Mae Guides or such applicable state or federal laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount or material change in coverage to the Company. The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are Qualified Insurers.

Section 4.11Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10, 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 REO Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Purchaser, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and shall use its best efforts to obtain a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Purchaser.

Section 4.12Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loan to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loan. The Fidelity Bond shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement and fraud of such persons. The errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses arising out of errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such errors and omissions insurance shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond or errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Fannie Mae in the Fannie Mae Guides. Upon request by the Purchaser, the Servicer shall deliver to the Purchaser a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Purchaser. The Servicer shall notify the Purchaser within five (5) business days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. The Purchaser (or any party having the status of Purchaser hereunder) and any subsidiary thereof and their successors or assigns as their interests may appear must be named as loss payees on the Fidelity Bond and as additional insured on the errors and omissions policy. Upon request by Purchaser, Servicer shall provide Purchaser with an insurance certificate certifying coverage under this Section 4.12, and will provide an update to such certificate upon request, or upon renewal or material modification of coverage.

Section 4.13Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Purchaser or its designee, or in the event the Purchaser or its designee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the "doing business" or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an opinion of counsel obtained by the Servicer from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Purchaser.

The Servicer shall notify the Purchaser in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides of each acquisition of REO Property upon such acquisition (and, in any event, shall provide notice of the consummation of any foreclosure sale within three (3) Business Days of the date Servicer receives notice of such consummation), together with a copy of the drive by appraisal or brokers price opinion of the Mortgaged Property obtained in connection with such acquisition, and thereafter assume the responsibility for marketing such REO property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Servicer shall continue to provide certain administrative services to the Purchaser relating to such REO Property as set forth in this Section 4.13. No Servicing Fee shall be assessed or otherwise accrue on any REO Property from and after the date on which it becomes an REO Property.

The Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Company, and in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Servicer shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least monthly thereafter or more frequently as required by the circumstances. The Servicer shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the Purchaser.

The Servicer shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Servicer determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Purchaser to such effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a longer period than one (1) year is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Servicer shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property. No REO Property shall be marketed for less than the Appraised Value, without the prior consent of Purchaser. No REO Property shall be sold for less than ninety five percent (95%) of its Appraised Value, without the prior consent of Purchaser. All requests for reimbursement of Servicing Advances shall be in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides. The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of the Purchaser (subject to the above conditions) only with the prior written consent of the Purchaser. Servicer shall provide monthly reports to Purchaser in reference to the status of the marketing of the REO Properties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser's sole option, terminate the Servicer as servicer of any such REO Property without payment of any termination fee with respect thereto, provided that the Servicer shall on the date said termination takes effect be reimbursed for any unreimbursed advances of the Company's funds made pursuant to Section 5.03 and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees in each case relating to the Mortgage Loan underlying such REO Property notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.05. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof shall apply to said termination and the transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect to such REO Property to the Purchaser or its designee. Within five Business Days of any such termination, the Servicer shall, if necessary convey such property to the Purchaser and shall further provide the Purchaser with the following information regarding the subject REO Property: the related drive by appraisal or brokers price opinion, and copies of any related Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy claims. In addition, within five Business Days, the Servicer shall provide the Purchaser with the following information regarding the subject REO Property: the related trustee’s deed upon sale and copies of any related hazard insurance claims, or repair bids.

Section 4.14Notification of Maturity Date.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall execute and deliver to the Mortgagor any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the maturity date if required under applicable law.

With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the Remittance Date, the Servicer shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus three (3) percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall cover the period commencing with the day following the Business Day such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made to the Purchaser, both inclusive. The payment by the Servicer of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Company. On each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall provide a remittance report detailing all amounts being remitted pursuant to this Section 5.01.

Section 5.02Statements to the Purchaser.

The Servicer shall furnish to Purchaser an individual loan accounting report, as of the last Business Day of each month, in the Company's assigned loan number order to document Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual Mortgage Loan basis.

In addition, the Servicer shall provide Purchaser with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for Purchaser to prepare its federal income tax return as Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time.

In addition, not more than sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar year, the Servicer shall furnish to each Person who was a Purchaser at any time during such calendar year an annual statement in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal income tax law as to the aggregate of remittances for the applicable portion of such year.

The Company's obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, or through the Remittance Date prior to the date on which the Mortgaged Property liquidates (including Insurance Proceeds, proceeds from the sale of REO Property or Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the Mortgage Loan unless the Company deems such advance to be nonrecoverable. In such event, the Servicer shall deliver to the Purchaser an Officer's Certificate of the Servicer to the effect that an officer of the Servicer has reviewed the related Mortgage File and has made the reasonable determination that any additional advances are nonrecoverable.

Section 5.04Liquidation Reports.

Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Purchaser pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall submit to the Purchaser a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property in a form mutually acceptable to Servicer and Purchaser.

ARTICLE VI

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

Section 6.01Assumption Agreements.

The Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, the Company, with the approval of the Purchaser, will enter into an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 6.01, the Company, with the prior consent of the Purchaser and the primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement.

In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the Company. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the amount of the Monthly Payment and the maturity date may not be changed (except pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note). If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Servicer diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall notify the Purchaser that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Purchaser the original of any such substitution of liability 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. All fees collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 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 any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 6.01, 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 6.02Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the Purchaser by a certification, 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 Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04 have been or will be so deposited, of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall no later than five Business Days after receipt of such certification and request, release or cause to be released to the Company, the related Mortgage Loan Documents and, upon its receipt of such documents, the Servicer shall promptly prepare and deliver to the Purchaser the requisite satisfaction or release. No later than five (5) Business Days following its receipt of such satisfaction or release, the Purchaser shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Servicer the release or satisfaction properly executed by the owner of record of the applicable mortgage or its duly appointed attorney in fact. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account.

In the event the Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, the Company, upon written demand, shall remit within two (2) Business Days to the Purchaser the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance insuring the Servicer against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loan, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the Purchaser shall, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Purchaser of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser to the Company. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the related Mortgage documents to the Purchaser when the need therefore by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or the 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 Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered to the Purchaser 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 a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Purchaser to the Company.

Section 6.03Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account (to the extent of interest payments collected on the Mortgage Loans) or to retain from interest payments collected on the Mortgage Loans, the amounts provided for as the Company's Servicing Fee, subject to payment of compensating interest on Principal Prepayments as capped by the Servicing Fee pursuant to Section 5.01 (iii). Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 6.01, and late payment charges or otherwise shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. No Servicing Fee shall be payable in connection with partial Monthly Payments. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefore except as specifically provided for.

Section 6.04Annual Statement as to Compliance.

The Servicer will deliver to the Purchaser not later than 90 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer beginning in December 31, 2001, an Officers' Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officers and the nature and status of cure provisions thereof. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Servicer to the Purchaser upon request.

Section 6.05Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants' Servicing Report.

Within ninety (90) days of Company's fiscal year end beginning in December 31, 2001 the Servicer at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Purchaser to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the Company's servicing of mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans pursuant to servicing agreements substantially similar to this Agreement, which agreements may include this Agreement, and that, on the basis of such an examination, conducted substantially in the uniform single audit program for mortgage bankers, such firm is of the opinion that the Company's servicing has been conducted in compliance with the agreements examined pursuant to this Section 6.05, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Servicer to the Purchaser. In addition, on an annual basis, Servicer shall provided Purchaser with copies of its audited financial statements.

Section 6.06Purchaser's Right to Examine Service Records.

The Purchaser shall have the right to examine and audit upon reasonable notice to the Company, during business hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under applicable circumstances, any and all of the books, records, documentation or other information of the Company, or held by another for the Servicer or on its behalf or otherwise, which relates to the performance or observance by the Servicer of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement.

The Servicer shall provide to the Purchaser and any supervisory agents or examiners representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Purchaser, including but not limited to the FDIC and other similar entities, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in the possession of the Servicer which may be required by any applicable regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, upon reasonable request, during normal business hours and at the offices of the Company, and in accordance with the federal government, FDIC, or any other similar regulations.

ARTICLE VII

REPORTS TO BE PREPARED BY SERVICER

Section 7.01Servicer Shall Provide Information as Reasonably Required.

The Servicer shall furnish to the Purchaser during the term of this Agreement, such periodic, special or other reports, information or documentation, whether or not provided for herein, as shall be necessary, reasonable or appropriate in respect to the Purchaser, or otherwise in respect to the Mortgage Loans and the performance of the Servicer under this Agreement, including any reports, information or documentation reasonably required to comply with any regulations regarding any supervisory agents or examiners of the Purchaser all such reports or information to be as provided by and in accordance with such applicable instructions and directions as the Purchaser may reasonably request in relation to this Agreement or the performance of the Servicer under this Agreement. The Servicer agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Purchaser, from time to time, may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

In connection with marketing the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser may make available to a prospective purchaser audited financial statements of the Servicer for the most recently completed two (2) fiscal years for which such statements are available, as well as a Consolidated Statement of Condition at the end of the last two (2) fiscal years covered by any Consolidated Statement of Operations. If it has not already done so, the Servicer shall furnish promptly to the Purchaser or a prospective purchaser copies of the statements specified above.

The Servicer shall make reasonably available to the Purchaser or any prospective Purchaser a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions and to permit any prospective purchaser to inspect the Company’s servicing facilities for the purpose of satisfying such prospective purchaser that the Servicer has the ability to service the Mortgage Loans as provided in this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION; OTHER PROVISIONS

Section 8.01Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to observe and perform its duties, obligations, covenants, and agreements to service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 or 3.02 of this Agreement. The Company shall immediately notify the Purchaser if a claim is made by a third party against Company with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the consent of the Purchaser) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, whether or not such claim is settled prior to judgment, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or the Purchaser in respect of such claim. The Company shall follow any written instructions received from the Purchaser in connection with such claim. The Purchaser shall promptly reimburse the Company for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the two preceding sentences except when the claim relates to the failure of the Company to service and administer the Mortgages in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the breach of representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 or 3.02, or the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Company. The provisions of this Section 8.01 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.02Merger or Consolidation of the Company.

Each Company will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation except as permitted herein, and 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, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Any Person into which the Company may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Company shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Company whether or not related to loan servicing, shall be the successor of the Company 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 shall be an institution (i) having a GAAP net worth of not less than $25,000,000, (ii) the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC, and which is a HUD-approved mortgagee whose primary business is in origination and servicing of first lien mortgage loans, and (iii) who is a Fannie Mae or FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing.

Section 8.03Limitation on Liability of the Company and Others.

Neither the Company nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Company shall be under any liability to the Purchaser 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 made in good faith; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Company or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in strict compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Company and any officer, employee or agent of the Company may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by the Purchaser respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Company shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its reasonable opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Company may, with the consent of the Purchaser, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Purchaser will be liable, and the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefore from the Purchaser upon written demand.

Section 8.04Company Not to Assign or Resign.

Each Company shall not assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Company and the Purchaser or in the case of Servicer, resign it’s obligations as Servicer unless there is a determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Purchaser which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Purchaser. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 11.01.

Section 8.05No Transfer of Servicing.

With respect to the retention of the Company to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Company acknowledges that the Purchaser has acted in reliance upon the Company's independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plan, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section, the Company shall not either assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Purchaser, which consent shall be granted or withheld in the Purchaser's sole discretion.

Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 8.05, in the event that the Company either shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof without (i) satisfying the requirements set forth herein or (ii) the prior written consent of the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Company (other than with respect to accrued but unpaid Servicing Fees and Servicing Advances remaining unpaid) or any third party.

ARTICLE IX

In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the Company shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:

(vi) Company ceases to be approved by either Fannie Mae or FHLMC as a mortgage loan seller or servicer for more than thirty days; or

(vii) the Servicer attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder or the Company attempts, without the consent of the Purchaser, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets or to assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof; or

(viii) the Servicer ceases to be (a) licensed to service first lien residential mortgage loans in any jurisdiction in which a Mortgaged Property is located and such licensing is required, and (b) qualified to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is currently so qualified, but only to the extent such non-qualification materially and adversely affects the Company's ability to perform its obligations hereunder; or

(ix) the Company fails to meet the eligibility criteria set forth in the last sentence of Section 8.02.

Then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Purchaser, by notice in writing to the Company (except in the case of an Event of Default under clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) above, in which case, automatically and without notice) Company may, in addition to whatever rights the Purchaser may have under Sections 3.03 and 8.01 and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Company for the same. On or after the receipt by the Company of such written notice (or, in the case of an Event of Default under clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) above, in which case, automatically and without notice), all authority and power of the Company under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 11.01. Upon written request from the Purchaser, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor's possession all Mortgage Files, and 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, at the Company's sole expense. The Company agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting the termination of the Company's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Company to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.

Section 9.02Waiver of Defaults.

The Purchaser may waive only by written notice any default by the Company in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived in writing.

In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as the Purchaser and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Company's duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Sections, the Company shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of Company pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section and shall in no event relieve the Company of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.03 and the remedies available to the Purchaser thereunder and under Section 8.01, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 and 8.01 shall be applicable to the Company notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Company, or the termination of this Agreement.

Re: Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-CL1

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is hereby made to the Amended and Restated Forward Commitment Flow Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 4, 2003, as amended (the “Purchase and Servicing Agreement”) by and between Union Federal Bank of Indianapolis (“Union Federal”) and EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”). Further reference is hereby made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2006 (the “Pooling Agreement”), by and among Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, as Depositor, EMC, as Sponsor and Company, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer and Securities Administrator and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Purchase and Servicing Agreement.

Union Federal sold the mortgage loans identified on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Mortgage Loans”) on a servicing retained basis to EMC pursuant to the Purchase and Servicing Agreement. The Mortgage Loans were subsequently transferred to a trust (the “Underlying Trust”) in connection with a securitization. Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the Underlying Trust (the “Underlying Pooling Agreement”), EMC had the right to purchase the Mortgage Loans (the “Call Right”) from the Underlying Trust following the occurrence of certain trigger events (the “Trigger Events”) set forth in the Underlying Pooling Agreement. Following the occurrence of the Trigger Events, EMC exercised the Call Right and purchased the Mortgage Loans from the Underlying Trust. From the date of such purchase, the Mortgage Loans have been serviced by Union Federal for the benefit of EMC pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase and Servicing Agreement.

Union Federal hereby acknowledges that, on April 28, 2006, the Mortgage Loans were sold (i) by EMC to the Depositor pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2006, between the Depositor, as purchaser and EMC, as mortgage loan seller and (ii) by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders pursuant to the Pooling Agreement. In connection therewith and subject to the next paragraph, Union Federal hereby agrees to service and administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase and Servicing Agreement as if it were named “Company” thereunder.

The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the servicing rights relating to the Mortgage Loans will transfer to CitiMortgage, Inc. (“CMI”), as servicer, on May 1, 2006 (the “Transfer Date”), pursuant to the Mortgage Servicing Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2006, among Union Federal, Waterfield Mortgage Company, Incorporated and CMI (the “MSPSA”), which transfer has been approved by EMC. In connection with the transfer of servicing and as provided in the MSPSA, mortgagors under the Mortgage Loans have been instructed to remit their May 1, 2006, payments to CMI, and all funds held by or on behalf of the Company, as servicer, with respect to the Mortgage Loans will be remitted by the Company to CMI not later than May 4, 2006. From and after the Transfer Date, the Mortgage Loans will be serviced by CMI pursuant to an Assignment, Assumption and Recognition Agreement, dated May 1, 2006, among EMC, U.S. Bank National Association and CMI.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the MSPSA, CMI shall remit to Union Federal on May 17^th, 2006, all amounts with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be remitted to the Master Servicer in connection with the 1^st remittance date under the Pooling Agreement in accordance with the following wiring instructions:

Bank: Union Federal Bank of Indianapolis

ABA Routing Number: [____]

Account Name: [____]

Account Number: [____]

For Credit to: PRIME 2006-CL1, acct# [____]

In connection with the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Purchase and Servicing Agreement, Union Federal hereby agrees that it shall remit to the Master Servicer on May 18, 2006, all amounts with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be remitted to the Master Servicer pursuant to the Purchase and Servicing Agreement (including without limitation, all required advances in respect of delinquent scheduled principal and interest payments on the Mortgage Loans and all required compensating interest payments in respect of prepayment on the Mortgage Loans), in connection with the 1^st remittance date under the Pooling Agreement, in accordance with the following wiring instructions:

Bank: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.

Account Name: SAS Clearing

Account Number: 3970771416

For Credit to: PRIME 2006-CL1, acct# 50915000

Further, Union Federal shall deliver to the Master Servicer any remittance reports in connection with such remittance as required under the Purchase and Servicing Agreement. Union Federal shall also provide a report, in the form of Exhibit B hereto, or such other form as is mutually acceptable to Union Federal, the EMC and any Master Servicer, Exhibit C with respect to defaulted mortgage loans and Exhibit D, with respect to realized losses and gains, with each such report.

The parties hereto agree that the Mortgage Loans shall be serviced in connection with the Purchase and Servicing Agreement and the following provisions set forth below:

I.  Definitions.

For purposes hereunder, the following terms shall be defined as follows:

Regulation AB: Subpart 229.1100 - Asset Backed Securities (Regulation AB), 17 C.F.R. §§ 229.1100-229.1123, as amended from time to time, and subject to such clarification and interpretation as have been provided by the Commission in the adopting release (Asset-Backed Securities, Securities Act Release No. 33-8518, 70 Fed. Reg. 1,506, 1,531 (Jan. 7, 2005)) or by the staff of the Commission, or as may be provided by the Commission or its staff from time to time.

Servicing Criteria: As of any date of determination, the “servicing criteria” set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB, or any amendments thereto, except for Subsection 1122(d)(1)(iii) and Subsection 1122(d)(4)(xv).

Subcontractor: Any vendor, subcontractor or other person that is not responsible for the overall servicing (as “servicing” is commonly understood by participants in the mortgage-backed securities market) of Mortgage Loans but performs one or more discrete functions identified in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB with respect to Mortgage Loans under the direction or authority of the Company or a Subservicer.

Subservicer: Any person that services Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Company or any Subservicer and is responsible for the performance (whether directly or through Subservicers or Subcontractors) of a substantial portion of the material servicing functions identified in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB that are required to be performed by the Company under the Purchase and Servicing Agreement.

2006 Servicing Period: The period beginning on April 1, 2006, and ending on the day prior to the Transfer Date.

II. Statement as to Compliance.

The Company will deliver (or, as applicable, cause each Subservicer to deliver) to the Purchaser and the Master Servicer, not later than 30 days after the Transfer Date, an Officer’s Certificate (a “Statement of Compliance”) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (a) a review of the activities of the Company (or Subservicer) during the 2006 Servicing Period and of performance under the Servicing Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision, (b) the Company (or Subservicer) has complied with the servicing provisions of the Servicing Agreement in all material respects, and (c) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Company (or Subservicer) has fulfilled in all material respects all of its obligations under the Servicing Agreement throughout the 2006 Servicing Period, or if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof and the action being taken by the Company (or Subservicer) to cure such default.

III.Assessment of Compliance with Servicing Criteria.

After April 1, 2006, the Company shall service and administer, and shall cause each Subservicer to service or administer, the Mortgage Loans in accordance with all applicable requirements of the Servicing Criteria.

With respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Company shall deliver to (or, as applicable, cause each Subcontractor and each Subservicer to provide to) the Purchaser or its designee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor, not later than 30 days following the Transfer Date, a report (an “Assessment of Compliance”) reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, the Master Servicer and the Depositor regarding the Company’s (Subcontractor or Subservicer) assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the 2006 Servicing Period as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB or as otherwise required by the Master Servicer.

With respect to the Mortgage Loans, not later than 60 days after the Transfer Date, the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser or its designee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor (or, as applicable, cause each Subcontractor and each Subservicer to provide) a report (an “Attestation Report”) by a certified public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the Assessment of Compliance made by the Company (Subcontractor or Subservicer), as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB or as otherwise required by the Master Servicer, which Attestation Report must be made in accordance with standards for attestation reports issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that the Attestation Report will be prepared substantially earlier than most such reports, which generally will not be due until 2007, and that final standards with respect to the preparation of such reports may not be in place at the time the Attestation Report is prepared. Accordingly, while the Company’s (Subcontractor or Subservicer) accounting firm has agreed to use its reasonable efforts in preparing the Attestation Report, such Attestation Report might vary from the standards ultimately adopted with respect thereto.

IV.Representations and Warranties Respecting the Company.

As of the date hereof, except as has been otherwise disclosed to the Purchaser, the Master Servicer and the Depositor and as set forth herein: (1) no default or servicing related performance trigger has occurred as to any other securitization due to any act or failure to act of the Company; (2) no material noncompliance with applicable servicing criteria as to any other securitization has been disclosed or reported by the Company; (3) the Company has not been terminated as servicer in a residential mortgage loan securitization, either due to a servicing default or to application of a servicing performance test or trigger; (4) no material changes to the Company’s servicing policies and procedures for similar loans has occurred in the preceding three years; (5) there are no aspects of the Company’s financial condition that could have a material adverse impact on the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder; (6) there are no legal proceedings pending, or known to be contemplated by governmental authorities, against the Company or any Subservicer that could be material to investors in the securities issued in the Securitization Trust; and (7) there are no affiliations, relationships or transactions relating to the Company or any Subservicer of a type that are described under Item 1119 of Regulation AB.

V. Further Agreements and Assumptions.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Letter of Understanding, it is understood that the Company has entered into an agreement to sell its servicing portfolio. The Company agrees to remain adequately staffed in order to comply with the terms of this letter. The Company agrees that it will provide to the Purchaser, no later than 30 days after the Transfer Date, all information regarding the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that is reasonably requested by the Purchaser with respect to the period ending on the day prior to the Transfer Date and that is reasonably accessible to the Company, provided that such information may be provided without undue expense or hardship on the part of the Company. To the extent additional information becomes available after the 30^th day, the Company shall promptly provide such information to the Purchaser. All such reports or information shall be provided by and in accordance with all reasonable instructions and directions which the Purchaser may give. It is further understood that to the extent that certain information is not reasonably accessible to the Company or that the Company is unable to provide such information without undue expense or hardship, the Company will not be deemed to have breached the Servicing Agreement or be in default thereunder or hereunder as a result of the failure to provide such information. Upon the request of the Purchaser, the Company, in its sole discretion, may agree to provide additional information, any such additional information to be provided at the expense of the Purchaser.

This letter agreement constitutes the entire agreement relating to the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto and supersedes any prior oral or written agreement between the parties hereto.

This letter agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving regard to conflicts of law principles and except to the extent preempted by federal law.

This letter agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which (including any copy hereof delivered by facsimile) shall constitute one and the same original instrument, and either party hereto may execute this letter agreement by signing any such counterpart.

Any part or provision of this letter agreement which is prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any part or provision of this letter agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction, to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof. If the invalidity of any part or provision of this letter agreement shall deprive any party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this letter agreement, the parties shall negotiate, in good-faith, to develop a structure the economic effect of which is nearly as possible the same as the economic effect of this letter agreement without regard to such invalidity.

Please confirm that the foregoing specifies the terms of our agreement by signing and returning the enclosed copy of this letter agreement to Union Federal Bank of Indianapolis, 7500 West Jefferson Boulevard, Fort Wayne, Indiana 46804, Attention: Julie Sweet.

8.Notwithstanding any term hereof to the contrary, the execution and delivery of this AAR Agreement by the Assignee is solely in its capacity as trustee for Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-CL1 and not individually, and any recourse against the Assignee in respect of any obligations it may have under or pursuant to the terms of this AAR Agreement shall be limited solely to the assets it may hold as trustee of Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-CL1.

The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Assignment Agreement is in the ordinary course of the Assignor’s business and will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Assignor’s charter or by-laws, or any legal restriction, or any material agreement or instrument to which the Assignor is now a party or by which it is bound, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Assignor or its property is subject. The execution, delivery and performance by the Assignor of this Assignment Agreement, and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Assignor.

(i)   Neither Assignor nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of the Assigned Loans or any interest in the Assigned Loans, or solicited any offer to buy or accept transfer, pledge or other disposition of the Assigned Loans, or any interest in the Assigned Loans, or otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to the Assigned Loans, or any interest in the Assigned Loans, with any Person in any manner, or made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or taken any other action which would constitute a distribution of the Assigned Loans under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) or which would render the disposition of the Assigned Loans a violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act or require registration pursuant thereto.

4.The Assignee hereby warrants and represents to, and covenants with, the Assignor and the Company that:

(a)   The Assignee is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has all requisite power and authority to acquire and hold the Assigned Loans for the benefit of the holders of Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-CL1;

(b)   The Assignee has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform under this Assignment Agreement, and to consummate the transactions set forth herein.

(c)   Neither the execution and delivery of this Assignment Agreement, the purchase of the Assigned Loans from the Assignor, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this Assignment Agreement will conflict with any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Assignee’s charter or by laws or materially conflict with or result in a material breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any legal restriction or any agreement or instrument to which the Assignee is now a party or by which it is bound, or constitute a default or result in an acceleration under any of the foregoing, or result in the material violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Assignee or its property is subject;

(d)   There is no litigation, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened, or any order or decree outstanding, which is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the execution, delivery, performance or enforceability of this Assignment Agreement or which is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Assignee;

If a Prepayment Charge is waived, but does not meet the standards described above, then the Company is required to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge by remitting such amount to the Purchaser by the Remittance Date.

The Purchaser and the Company acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Section 9.01(e) is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission.

References in this Agreement to compliance with Regulation AB include provision of comparable disclosure in private offerings.

Neither the Purchaser, the Master Servicer nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under the Securities Act). The Company acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Purchaser, the Master Servicer or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Company shall cooperate fully with the Purchaser and any Master Servicer to deliver to the Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees), any Master Servicer and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Purchaser, the Master Servicer or any Depositor to permit the Purchaser, such Master Servicer or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Company, any Subservicer, any Third-Party Originator and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Purchaser or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

The Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate with the Company by providing timely notice of requests for information under these provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information required, in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, to comply with Regulation AB.

(x)Section 9.01(e)(vii) of the Warranties and Servicing Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by replacing such section with the following:

(vii) In addition to such information as the Company, as servicer, is obligated to provide pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement, not later than ten (10) days prior to the deadline for the filing of any distribution report on Form 10-D in respect of any Securitization Transaction that includes any of the Mortgage Loans serviced by the Company or any Subservicer, the Company or such Subservicer, as applicable, shall, to the extent the Company or such Subservicer has knowledge, provide to the party responsible for filing such report (including, if applicable, the Master Servicer) notice of the occurrence of any of the following events along with all information, data, and materials related thereto as may be required to be included in the related distribution report on Form 10-D (as specified in the provisions of Regulation AB referenced below):

(A)any material modifications, extensions or waivers of pool asset terms, fees, penalties or payments during the distribution period or that have cumulatively become material over time (Item 1121(a)(11) of Regulation AB);

(B)material breaches of pool asset representations or warranties or transaction covenants (Item 1121(a)(12) of Regulation AB); and

(z)Article IX of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by inserting the following after Section 9.01(e)(iii)(H) in its entirety as follows:

(I)a description of any material legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against the Servicer; and

(ii)   any breach by the Company of its obligations under this Section 9.01(f), including any failure by the Company, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any Third-Party Originator to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under Sections 4.25, 5.02, 6.04, 6.06 or 9.01(c) or (e), including any failure by the Company to identify any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB;

In the case of any failure of performance described in sub-clause (ii) of this Section 9.01(f), the Company shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser, any Depositor, as applicable, and each Person responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to such Securitization Transaction, for all costs reasonably incurred by each such party in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required by the Company, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any Third-Party Originator.

Whereas, following the occurrence of the Trigger Events, the Assignor exercised the related Call Right and purchased the Assigned Loans from the Underlying Trusts; and

Whereas, Assignor, PHH and Bishop’s Gate desire that, from and after the date hereof, the Mortgage Loans be serviced in accordance with the terms and conditions of that certain Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement dated as of October 23, 2001, as amended (the “Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement”), among the Assignor, PHH and Bishop’s Gate.

WHEREAS, the Assignor wishes to assign to Assignee all of its right, title and interest under the Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement with respect the Mortgage Loans, and Assignee wishes to assume all of Assignor’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loans as provided in the Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Assignor specifically reserves and does not assign to the Assignee any right, title and interest in, to or under the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.01 and Section 3.02 of the Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement, and any obligation of PHH to cure, repurchase or substitute for a mortgage loan and to indemnify the Assignor with respect to a breach of such representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.03 and Section 8.01 of the Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement, and the Assignor is retaining the right to enforce the representations and warranties and the obligations of PHH and Bishop’s Gate set forth in those sections against PHH and Bishop’s Gate. In addition, the Assignor specifically reserves and does not assign to the Assignee any right, title and interest in, to or under Section 2.09 of the Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, and of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.Defined terms used in this AAR Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement.

2.The Assignor specifically reserves and does not assign to the Assignee hereunder any and all right, title and interest in, to and under and all obligations of the Assignor with respect to any mortgage loans subject to the Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement which are not the Mortgage Loans set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and are not the subject of this AAR Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Assignor specifically reserves and does not assign to the Assignee the representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement, and any obligation of PHH to cure, repurchase or substitute for a mortgage loan and to indemnify the Assignor with respect to a breach of such representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.03 and Section 8.01 of the Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement, and the Assignor is retaining the right to enforce the representations and warranties and the obligations of PHH and Bishop’s Gate contained in such sections against each of PHH and Bishop’s Gate. In addition, the Assignor specifically reserves and does not assign to the Assignee any right, title and interest in, to or under Section 2.09 of the Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement.

3.The Assignor warrants and represents to the Assignee and to PHH and Bishop’s Gate as of the date hereof:

(a)   Attached hereto as Exhibit B is a true and accurate copy of the Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement, which agreement is in full force and effect as of the date hereof and the provisions of which have not been waived, amended or modified in any respect, nor has any notice of termination been given thereunder;

(b)   The Assignor is the lawful owner of the Mortgage Loans with full right to transfer the Mortgage Loans and any and all of its interests, rights and obligations under the Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, free and clear from any and all claims and encumbrances; and upon the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Assignee as contemplated herein, the Assignee shall have good title to each and every Mortgage Loan, as well as any and all of the Assignor’s interests, rights and obligations under the Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, free and clear of any and all liens, claims and encumbrances;

(c)   There are no offsets, counterclaims or other defenses available to PHH or Bishop’s Gate with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement;

(d)   The Assignor has no knowledge of, and has not received notice of, any waivers under, or any modification of, any Mortgage Loan;

(e)   The Assignor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and has all requisite power and authority to acquire, own and sell the Mortgage Loans;

(f)   The Assignor has full corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this AAR Agreement, and to consummate the transactions set forth herein. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this AAR Agreement is in the ordinary course of the Assignor’s business and will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Assignor’s charter or by-laws or any legal restriction, or any material agreement or instrument to which Assignor is now a party or by which it is bound, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which Assignor or its property is subject.

This AAR Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Assignor and, upon the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Assignee, PHH and Bishop’s Gate, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Assignor enforceable against the Assignor in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

(g)   No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or declaration, filing or registration with, any governmental entity is required to be obtained or made by the Assignor in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Assignor of this AAR Agreement, or the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby. Neither the Assignor nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of the Mortgage Loans or any interest in the Mortgage Loans, or solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of the Mortgage Loans, or any interest in the Mortgage Loans or otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to the Mortgage Loans, or any interest in the Mortgage Loans with any Person in any manner, or made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or taken any other action which would constitute a distribution of the Mortgage Loans under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) or which would render the disposition of the Mortgage Loans a violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act or require registration pursuant thereto; and

(h)   The Assignor has received from PHH and Bishop’s Gate, and has delivered to the Assignee, all documents required to be delivered to the Assignor by PHH and Bishop’s Gate prior to the date hereof pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans and has not received, and has not requested from PHH or Bishop’s Gate, any additional documents.

(a)The Servicer will deliver to the Purchaser and any Master Servicer, not later than March 1st of each calendar year beginning in 2007, an Officers’ Certificate acceptable to the Purchaser (an “Annual Statement of Compliance”) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year (or applicable period thereof) and of performance under this Agreement or other applicable servicing agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement or other applicable servicing agreement during such period in all material respects throughout such calendar year, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Such Annual Statement of Compliance shall contain no restrictions or limitations on its use. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Servicer to the Purchaser upon request and by the Purchaser to any Person identified as a prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans. In the event that the Servicer has delegated any servicing responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans to a Subservicer, the Servicer shall deliver an officer’s certificate (an “Annual Certification”) of the Subservicer as described above as to each Subservicer as and when required with respect to the Servicer.

(b)With respect to any Mortgage Loans that are the subject of a Pass-Through Transfer, by March 1st of each calendar year beginning in 2007, an officer of the Servicer shall execute and deliver an Annual Certification to the Purchaser, any Master Servicer and any related Depositor for the benefit of each such entity and such entity’s affiliates and the officers, directors and agents of any such entity and such entity’s affiliates, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J. In the event that the Servicer has delegated any servicing responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans to a Subservicer, the Servicer shall deliver an Annual Certification of the Subservicer as described above as to each Subservicer as and when required with respect to the Servicer.

Failure of the Servicer to timely comply with this Section 6.04 shall be deemed an Event of Default, automatically, without notice and without any cure period, unless otherwise agreed to by the Purchaser as set forth in Section 6.04(c) and Purchaser may, in addition to whatever rights the Purchaser may have under Sections 3.03 and 8.01 and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same, as provided in Section 9.01.

This paragraph shall supercede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

(p) Section 6.05 shall be deleted, and replaced with the following:

Section 6.05[Reserved].

(q)Article VI of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by adding the following new Section 6.07:

On and after January 1, 2006, the Servicer shall service and administer, and shall cause each subservicer to servicer or administer, the Mortgage Loans in accordance with all applicable requirements of the Servicing Criteria.

With respect to any Mortgage Loans that are the subject of a Pass-Through Transfer, the Servicer shall deliver to the Purchaser or its designee, any Master Servicer and any Depositor on or before March 1st of each calendar year beginning in 2007, a report (an “Assessment of Compliance”) reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, any Master Servicer and any Depositor regarding the Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the preceding calendar year as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB, or as otherwise required by the Master Servicer, which as of the date hereof, require a report by an authorized officer of the Servicer that contains the following:

(a)A statement by such officer of its responsibility for assessing compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Servicer;

(b)A statement by such officer that such officer used the Servicing Criteria to assess compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Servicer;

(c)An assessment by such officer of the Servicer’s compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year, including disclosure of any material instance of noncompliance with respect thereto during such period, which assessment shall be based on the activities it performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans;

(d)A statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the Servicer’s Assessment of Compliance for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year; and

(e)A statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable to the Servicer, which statement shall be based on the activities it performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans.

Such report at a minimum shall address each of the Servicing Criteria in Exhibit N hereto identified as applicable to the Servicer delivered to the Purchaser concurrently with the execution of this Agreement.

With respect to any Mortgage Loans that are the subject of a Pass-Through Transfer, on or before March 1st of each calendar year beginning in 2007, PHH shall furnish to the Purchaser or its designee, any Master Servicer and any Depositor a report (an “Attestation Report”) by a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the Assessment of Compliance made by the Servicer, as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB, or as otherwise required by the Master Servicer, which Attestation Report must be made in accordance with standards for attestation reports issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

The Servicer shall cause each Subservicer, and each Subcontractor determined by the Servicer pursuant to Section 11.19 to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver to the Purchaser, any Master Servicer and any Depositor an assessment of compliance and accountants’ attestation as and when provided in Sections 6.07.

If the Servicer cannot deliver the related Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report by March 1st of such year, the Purchaser, at its sole option, may permit a cure period for the Servicer to deliver such Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report, but in no event later than March 10th of such year.

Failure of the Servicer to timely comply with this Section 6.07 shall be deemed an Event of Default, automatically, without notice and without any cure period, unless otherwise agreed to by the Purchaser as described herein, and Purchaser may, in addition to whatever rights the Purchaser may have under Sections 3.03 and 8.01 and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same, as provided in Section 9.01.

In connection with any Pass-Through Transfer, PHH shall cooperate fully with the Purchaser and any Master Servicer to deliver to the Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees), and Master Servicer and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Purchaser, any Master Servicer or any Depositor to permit the Purchaser, any Master Servicer or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to PHH, any Subservicer, any Third-Party Originator and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Purchaser or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

(s)The following shall be added as the second paragraph of Section 8.01 of the Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement.
