Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Servicing Agreement, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, not later than the tenth calendar day of each month (or if such tenth calendar day is not a Business Day, the immediately succeeding Business Day), the Servicer shall furnish to the Master Servicer (i)(a) monthly loan data in the form of Exhibit 7 or another mutually agreed-upon format, (b) default loan data in the format set forth in Exhibit 8 hereto and (c) information regarding the realized losses and gains in the format set forth in Exhibit 5 and Exhibit 6 hereto, in each case relating to the period ending on the last day of the preceding calendar month, (ii) all such information required pursuant to clause (i)(a) above on a magnetic tape, electronic mail, or other similar media reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer, and (iii) all supporting documentation with respect to the information required under the preceding paragraph.

(e)

No event has occurred or has failed to occur, during the period commencing on the date on which the Assignor acquired the Mortgage Loans and ending on the date hereof, inclusive, which would make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1 of the Servicing Agreement untrue if such representations and warranties were made effective as of the date hereof.

(f)

Pursuant to Section 6.07 of the Sale Agreement, the Seller hereby represents and warrants, for the benefit of the Assignor, the Assignee and the Trust, that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.02 of the Sale Agreement, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, are true and correct as of the Closing Date (as such term is defined in the Sale Agreement), and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01 of the Sale Agreement, with respect to the Seller, are true and correct as of date hereof as if such representations and warranties were made on the date hereof.

(c)

No Consent.  The execution, delivery and performance by the Assignor of this Assignment Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any state, federal or other governmental authority or agency, except such as has been obtained, given, effected or taken prior to the date hereof.

(d)

Authorization; No Breach.  The execution and delivery of this Assignment Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Assignor; neither the execution and delivery by the Assignor of this Assignment Agreement, nor the consummation by the Assignor of the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance by the Assignor with the provisions hereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the provisions of the governing documents of the Assignor or any law, governmental rule or regulation or any material judgment, decree or order binding on the Assignor or any of its properties, or any of the provisions of any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, contract or other instrument to which the Assignor is a party or by which it is bound.

(e)

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

(f)

Prior Assignments; Pledges.  As of June 30, 2006, except for the sale to the Assignee, the Assignor has not assigned or pledged any Mortgage Note or the related Mortgage or any interest or participation therein.

(g)

Releases.  As of June 30, 2006, the Assignor has not satisfied, canceled, or subordinated in whole or in part, or rescinded any Mortgage, and the Assignor has not released the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of any Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has the Assignor executed an instrument that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination, or rescission.  The Assignor has not released any Mortgagor, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement or other agreement approved by the related federal insurer, to the extent such approval was required.

(h)

Compliance with Applicable Laws.  As of June 30, 2006, 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, predatory and abusive lending or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loans have been complied with.  All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Properties 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.

(i)

HOEPA.  As of June 30, 2006, no Mortgage Loan is a “High Cost Loan” or “Covered Loan,” as applicable, as such terms are defined in the then current Standard & Poor’s LEVELSâ Glossary.  In addition, no Transferred Mortgage Loan is a “high-cost,” “high-cost home,” “covered,”  “high-risk home,” or “predatory” loan under any applicable federal, state or local predatory or abusive lending law (or a similarly classified loan using different terminology under a law imposing heightened regulatory scrutiny or additional legal liability for residential mortgage loans having high interest rates, points and/or fees), and no Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003 is governed by the Georgia Fair Lending Act.

(j)

Bring Down.  Nothing has occurred or failed to occur from and after the closing date set forth in the Sale Agreement to June 30, 2006 that would cause any of the representations and warranties relating to the Mortgage Loans set forth in Section 3.02 of the Sale Agreement to be incorrect in any material respects as of the date hereof as if made on the date hereof.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 7 shall survive delivery of the respective Collateral File to the applicable Custodian and shall inure to the benefit of the Assignee and its assigns notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment.  Upon the discovery by the Assignor or the Assignee and its assigns of a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties to this Assignment Agreement, and in no event later than two (2) Business Days from the date of such discovery.  It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Assignor set forth in Section 8 to repurchase a Mortgage Loan constitute the sole remedies available to the Assignee and its assigns on their behalf respecting a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 7.  It is further understood and agreed that the Assignor shall be deemed not to have made the representations and warranties in Section 7(k) with respect to, and to the extent of, representations and warranties made, as to the matters covered in Section 7(k), by the Seller in the Sale Agreement (or any officer’s certificate delivered pursuant thereto).

It is understood and agreed that the Assignor has made no representations or warranties to the Assignee other than those contained in this Section 7, and no other affiliate of the Assignor has made any representations or warranties of any kind to the Assignee.

8.

Repurchase of Mortgage Loans.  Upon discovery or notice of any breach by the Assignor of any representation, warranty or covenant under this Assignment Agreement that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Assignee therein (it being understood that any such defect or breach shall be deemed to have materially and adversely affected the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Assignee therein if the Assignee incurs a loss as a result of such defect or breach), the Assignee promptly shall request that the Assignor cure such breach and, if the Assignor does not cure such breach in all material respects within 60 days from of the earlier of either discovery by the Assignor of such breach or the date on which it is notified of the breach, the Assignee may enforce the Assignor’s obligation hereunder to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Assignee at the Purchase Price (as defined in the Trust Agreement).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if such breach is a Qualification Defect (as defined in the Sale Agreement), such cure or repurchase must take place within 60 days of discovery of such Qualification Defect.

In the event the Seller has breached a representation or warranty under the Sale Agreement that is substantially identical to a representation or warranty breached by the Assignor hereunder, the Assignee shall first proceed against the Seller.  If the Seller does not within 60 days after notification of the breach, take steps to cure such breach (which may include certifying to progress made and requesting an extension of the time to cure such breach, to the extent permitted under the Servicing Agreement) or repurchase the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of the Assignor hereunder to cure such breach or to repurchase the Mortgage Loan from the Trust at the Purchase Price (each as defined in the Trust Agreement).  In such event, the Assignor shall succeed to the rights of the Assignee to enforce the obligations of the Seller to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Servicing Agreement.

In the event of a repurchase of any Mortgage Loan by the Assignor, the Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Assignor or its designee the related Collateral File and shall assign to the Assignor all of the Assignee’s rights under the Servicing Agreement, but only insofar as the Servicing Agreement relates to such Mortgage Loan.

Except as specifically set forth herein, the Assignee shall have no responsibility to enforce any provision of this Assignment Agreement, to oversee compliance hereof, or to take notice of any breach or default thereof.

9.

Amendment to Servicing Agreement.  In connection with the transfer of the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Servicer agrees that, from and after the date hereof, each Mortgage Loan transferred hereunder will be subject to the Servicing Agreement, provided that, solely with respect to the Mortgage Loans transferred hereunder, the following modifications shall be made:

(a)

The definition of “Business Day” shall be amended by adding the phrase “,Maryland, Minnesota” after the words “New York”.  

(b)

Section 7.1 shall be amended by adding the following after the words “30 days”: “(or 15 days, in the case of Sections 5.4(c) and 5.5)”.   

(c)

Exhibit E (“Servicing Criteria to be Addressed in Assessment of Compliance”) shall be replaced with Exhibit 9 hereto.  

For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicing Agreement is not hereby amended with respect to any other mortgage loans sold thereunder and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms with respect to such other mortgage loans.

10.

Continuing Effect.  Except as contemplated hereby, the Servicing Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms.

11.

Governing Law.  THIS ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
