WITNESSETH:

In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

The Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trust Fund shall elect that the Trust Fund (exclusive of (i) the Cap Agreement (ii) the right to receive and the obligation to pay Basis Risk Carryover Amounts, (iii) the Excess Reserve Fund Account, (iv) the Collateral Account, and (v) the Supplemental Interest Trust and the Cap Account (collectively, the “Excluded Trust Assets”)) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising two real estate mortgage investment conduits under Section 860D of the Code (each a “REMIC” or, in the alternative, “REMIC 1,” and “REMIC 2,”; REMIC 2 also being referred to herein as the “Upper Tier REMIC.”) 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 election.

Each Certificate, other than the Class R Certificates, represents ownership of a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. In addition, each Certificate, other than the Class R, Class X and Class P Certificates, represents the right to receive payments with respect to any Basis Risk Carryover Amounts. The Class R Certificate represents ownership of the sole Class of residual interest in each of REMIC 1 and the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.

The Upper Tier REMIC shall hold as its assets the uncertificated Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1, other than the Class LT1-R interest, and each such Lower Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 1 for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. REMIC 1 shall hold as its assets the property of the Trust Fund other than the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 and the Excluded Trust Assets.

REMIC 1:

The following table sets forth the designations, principal balances and interest rates for each interest in REMIC 1, each of which (other than the Class LT1-R Lower Tier Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 1 (the “REMIC 1 Regular Interests”):

Class Designation	Initial Principal Balance	Interest Rate	Corresponding Class of Certificates
LT1-A-1	½ Corresponding Class balance	(1)	A-1
LT1-A-2	½ Corresponding Class balance	(1)	A-2

LT1-R	(3)	(3)	R

(1) This interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) for each of these REMIC 1 Regular Interests is a per annum rate equal to the Net WAC Rate.

(2) This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the excess of (a) the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date over (b) the sum of the initial principal balances of each remaining REMIC 1 Regular Interest.

(3) The LT1-R Interest shall not have a principal amount and shall not bear interest. The LT1-R interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC 1.

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall first pay or charge as an expense of REMIC 1 all expenses of the Trust Fund for such Distribution Date.

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the Interest Remittance Amount (net of expenses described in the preceding paragraph) with respect to each of the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 based on the above-described interest rates, provided,however, that interest that accrues on the LT1-Q Interest shall be deferred to the extent necessary to make the principal distributions described in priority (i) below for such Distribution Date. Any interest so deferred shall itself bear interest at the interest rate for the LT1-Q Interest.

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the Principal Remittance Amount with respect to the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 (together with an amount equal to the interest deferred on the Class LT1-Q Interest for such Distribution Date), and Realized Losses shall be allocated, among the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 in the following order of priority:

-2-

(i)first, to each interest in REMIC 1 having a Corresponding Class in REMIC 2 until the outstanding principal amount of each such interest equals one-half of the outstanding principal amount of the Corresponding Class of Certificates for such interest immediately after such Distribution Date;

(ii)finally, to the Class LT1-Q Interest, any remaining amounts.

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the Prepayment Charges collected during the preceding Prepayment Period to the LT1-Q Interest

The Class X Certificate shall also comprise a notional component, which represents a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC. The first such component has a notional balance that will at all times equal the aggregate of the Class Certificate Balances of the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1, and, for each Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) this notional component shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the weighted average of the interest rates on the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 over (ii) the Adjusted Lower Tier WAC.

(10) The Class P Interest shall not bear interest at a stated Interest Rate. Prepayment Charges paid with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be paid to the Class P Certificateholders as provided in Section 4.02(b). For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the Class P Interest shall represent a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC. The Class P Certificate will have a Class P Principal Amount of $100.

(11) Each of these Certificates will represent not only the ownership of the Corresponding Class of Upper Tier REMIC Regular Interest but also the right to receive payments from (i) the Excess Reserve Fund Account in respect of any Basis Risk Carryover Amounts and (ii) the Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of proceeds from the Cap Agreement. For federal income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator will treat a Certificateholder’s right to receive such payments as rights in a notional principal contract written by the Class X Certificateholders.

The minimum denomination for each Class of Certificates, other than the Class P, Class R and the Class X Certificates, will be $25,000 of Certificate Balance ($100,000 with respect to initial investors resident in a Member State of the European Economic Area subject to the EU Prospectus Directive 2003/71/EC) with integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, except that one Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount.

(d)Within 30 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Originator that any Mortgage Loan does not conform to the requirements as determined in the Custodian’s review of the related Custodial File or within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Originator of any breach of a representation or warranty referred to in Section 2.03(b) that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trustee or the Certificateholders therein, the Originator shall use its best efforts to cause to be remedied a material defect in a document constituting part of a Mortgage File or promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such defect or breach cannot be remedied, the Originator shall, at the Depositor’s option as specified in writing and provided to the Originator and the Trustee, (i) if such 30- or 60-day period, as applicable, 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 Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.03; or (ii) repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price; provided, however, that any such substitution pursuant to clause (i) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit J, and the delivery of the Mortgage File to the Custodian for any such Substitute Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a breach (i) which causes a Mortgage Loan not to constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or (ii) of any of the representations and warranties set forth in items (i), (oo), (qq), (ss), (vv) and (yy) of Section 3.02 of Exhibit Q hereto with respect to any Mortgage Loan will be deemed automatically to materially and adversely affect the value of such Mortgage Loan and the interests of the Trustee and Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, thus requiring the repurchase or substitution of such Mortgage Loan by the Originator. In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives notice of a breach by the Originator of any of the representations and warranties described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee shall give notice of such breach to the Originator and request the Originator to substitute such Mortgage Loan or to repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price within sixty (60) days of the receipt of such notice. The Originator shall repurchase each such Mortgage Loan within 60 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of notice with respect to each such Mortgage Loan.

(e)With respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Originator shall deliver to the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.01. No substitution is permitted to be made with respect to any Distribution Date after the end of the related Prepayment Period. Scheduled Payments due with respect to Substitute Mortgage Loans in the Due Period of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Originator on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the Due Period of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the Scheduled Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such Due Period and thereafter the Originator shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.

-45-

(f)Upon removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Originator shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 2.03(b) with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the Collection Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph, the Custodian shall release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Originator and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Request for Release certifying that all amounts required to be deposited in accordance with this Section 2.03(f) have been deposited in the Collection Account, shall execute and deliver at the Originator’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Originator in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest title in the Originator of the Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.03.

(g)For any month in which the Originator substitutes one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all such Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans. The amount of such shortage plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans (collectively, the “Substitution Adjustment Amount”) shall be remitted by the Originator to the Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account on or before the Remittance Date for the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar month during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.

(h)In addition to the repurchase or substitution obligations referred to in Section 2.03(d) above and Section 2.03(k) below, the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, shall indemnify the Depositor, any of its Affiliates, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Trust and hold such parties harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses (including, without limitation, any taxes payable by the Trust) resulting from any third party claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach by the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, of any of its representations and warranties or obligations contained in this Agreement.

(i)The 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 Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator.

(j)In the event that a Mortgage Loan shall have been repurchased pursuant to this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, the proceeds from such repurchase shall be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 on or before the Remittance Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month during which the Originator or Sponsor became obligated to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and upon such deposit of the Repurchase Price, and receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit J hereto, the Custodian shall release the related Custodial File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to the Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, as directed by the Servicer, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at such Person’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee. In accordance with Section 12.05(a), if a Responsible Officer of the Securities Administrator has actual knowledge of a purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.03, the Securities Administrator shall promptly notify each Rating Agency of a purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.03.

-46-

It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Originator under this Agreement to cure, repurchase or substitute any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach of a representation and warranty has occurred and is continuing, together with any related indemnification obligations of the Originator set forth in Section 2.03(h), shall constitute the sole remedies against such Person respecting such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor and any of its Affiliates, or the Trustee on their behalf.

(k)The Trustee acknowledges that, except as provided in Section 5 of the Purchase Agreement, the Sponsor shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any breach of a representation or warranty made by it with respect to a Mortgage Loan sold by it, provided that such representation or warranty was also made by the Originator with respect to the related Mortgage Loan. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties of the Sponsor set forth in Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement and assigned to the Trustee by the Depositor hereunder shall survive the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee on the Closing Date, and shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment of Mortgage and shall continue throughout the term of this Agreement. Upon the discovery by any of the Sponsor, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Servicer of a breach of any of the Sponsor’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice to the others. Within 30 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Sponsor of any breach of any of the foregoing representations or warranties that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trustee or the Certificateholders therein, the Sponsor shall use its best efforts to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such defect or breach cannot be remedied, the Sponsor shall, at the Depositor’s instructions as specified in writing and provided to the Sponsor and the Trustee, (i) if such 30-day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the same manner and subject to the same conditions set forth in this Section 2.03 that apply to repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans by the Originator or (ii) repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price; provided, however, that any such substitution pursuant to clause (i) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit J, and the delivery of the Mortgage File to the Custodian for any such Substitute Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan by the Sponsor, the procedures set forth in Sections 2.03(e), (f), (g), (h), (i) and (j) shall apply to the Sponsor in the same manner and to the same extent that they are applicable to the Originator. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Sponsor under this Agreement to cure, repurchase or substitute any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach of a representation and warranty has occurred and is continuing, together with any related indemnification obligations of the Sponsor set forth in Section 2.03(h), shall constitute the sole remedies against the Sponsor available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor and any of its affiliates, or the Trustee on their behalf.

-47-

The provisions of this Section 2.03 shall survive delivery of the respective Custodial Files to the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

Section 2.04Execution and Delivery of Certificates. The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, the Securities Administrator has executed and delivered to, or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the entire ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and exercise the rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates.

Section 2.05REMIC Matters. The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations for federal income tax purposes of all interests created hereby.  The “Startup Day” for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be the Closing Date.  The “latest possible maturity date” is the Distribution Date occurring three years after the month in which the latest Mortgage Loan maturity date (of the Mortgage Loans held in the Trust on the Closing Date) occurs.

Section 2.06Representations and Warranties of the Depositor. The Depositor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the other parties to this agreement that as of the date of this Agreement or as of such date specifically provided herein:

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING

OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 3.01Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans. (a)  For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, but without regard to:

-49-

(i)any relationship that the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer or any Subservicer may have with the related Mortgagor;

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

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

To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer shall seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes. Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable.

The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby. The Servicer shall also comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any standard hazard insurance policy or any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy (if applicable). Subject to Section 3.16, the Trustee shall execute, at the written request of the Servicer, and furnish to the Servicer and any Subservicer such documents provided to the Trustee as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer or any Subservicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee shall grant to the Servicer a limited power of attorney in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N to carry out such duties and to take title to Mortgaged Properties after foreclosure on behalf of the Trustee.

The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Servicer or any Subservicers under such powers of attorney. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Servicer or Subservicer shall without the Trustee’s consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Servicer’s or Subservicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity, or (ii) knowingly take any action with the intent to, or which actually does cause, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state.

-50-

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

(c)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as provided in Section 4.01) and the Servicer shall not, except as provided in 3.07(a), (i) permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan (except for a reduction of interest payments resulting from the application of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act or any similar state statutes) or (ii) permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any REMIC formed hereby to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions after the startup day” under the REMIC Provisions or (iii) waive any Prepayment Charges.

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

Section 3.02Subservicing Agreements between Servicer and Subservicers; Use of Subcontractors. (a) The Servicer may enter into a subservicing agreement with a Subservicer, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans (“Subservicing Agreement”) without obtaining the prior consent of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or other parties hereto to the utilization of any such Subservicer, provided the provisions of such Subservicing Agreement comply with the requirements set forth in this Section 3.02. None of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Depositor shall be required to review or consent to such Subservicing Agreement and none shall have any liability in connection therewith.

(b)Each Subservicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Subservicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Subservicing Agreement and (ii) a Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each Subservicing Agreement must impose on the Subservicer requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Sections 3.08, 3.22, 3.23, 3.24, 3.29, 6.05, 6.06, 7.01(i), 8.12 and Exhibit S of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicer were the Servicer and otherwise provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer shall examine each Subservicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms thereof in order to determine that the foregoing requirements have been incorporated into the Subservicing Agreement and that the terms thereof are not otherwise inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer and the Subservicers may enter into and make amendments to the Subservicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Subservicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to have a materially adverse effect on the interests of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator without their prior written consent. Any variation without the consent of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer from the requirements set forth in Sections 3.08, 3.22, 3.23, 3.24, 3.29, 6.05, 6.06, 7.01(i), 8.12 and Exhibit S, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Depositor copies of all Subservicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Servicer’s execution and delivery of such instruments.

-51-

(c)As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer (except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this paragraph) shall enforce the obligations of each Subservicer under the related Subservicing Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a Subservicing Agreement and (ii) the reporting obligations set forth under Section 3.22, 3.23, 3.24 and 3.29 hereof to the same extent as if such Subservicer were the Servicer. The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subservicer and delivering to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor (i) any servicer annual compliance statement required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 3.24(b); (ii) any report on assessments and attestations of compliance with Relevant Servicing Criteria required to be delivered by the Subservicer pursuant to Sections 3.22 and 3.23; and (iii) any certifications required to be delivered under Section 3.24(a) to the Master Servicer or such other Person that will be responsible for signing the Sarbanes-Oxley Certification as and where required to be delivered hereunder. 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 the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.

(d)It shall not be necessary for the Servicer to seek the consent of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or other parties hereto to the utilization of a Subcontractor. The Servicer shall give prompt written notice to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor of the appointment of any Servicing Function Participant and provide a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor) of the role and function of each Servicing Function Participant specifying which elements of the Servicing Criteria set forth under Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB will be addressed in assessments and attestations of compliance with Relevant Servicing Criteria provided by such Servicing Function Participant.

-52-

(e)As a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be a Servicing Function Participant, the Servicer shall cause any such Subcontractor used by the Servicer (or by any Subservicer) to comply with the provisions of Sections 3.22, 3.23, 3.24, 3.29, 6.05, 6.06, 7.01(i), 8.12 and Exhibit S of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Servicer. The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering to the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Depositor any assessments and attestations of compliance required to be delivered by such Subcontractor pursuant to Sections 3.22 and 3.23, in each case as and when required to be delivered.

Section 3.03Successor Subservicers. The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Subservicer pursuant to any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any Subservicer, all servicing obligations of such Subservicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Subservicer or Servicer, and the Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor subservicer which qualifies under Section 3.02.

Any Subservicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated by the Master Servicer without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Servicer shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer (including termination due to an Event of Default).

Section 3.04Liability of the Servicer. Notwithstanding any subservicing agreement or the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Subservicer, Subcontractor or other third party or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer, a Subcontractor, another third party or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee and the Trust Fund for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of any subservicing, subcontracting or other agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from a Subservicer, Subcontractor or a third party and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing the Mortgage Loans, including with respect to compliance with Item 1122 of Regulation AB. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Subservicer, Subcontractor or other third party for indemnification of the Servicer by such Subservicer, Subcontractor or third party and nothing contained in the Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

Section 3.05No Contractual Relationship between Subservicers and the Master Servicer. 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 shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the Servicer alone, and none of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, or the Master Servicer (nor any successor master servicer) shall be deemed a party thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer except as set forth in Section 3.06. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any Subservicer, irrespective of whether the Servicer’s compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.

-53-

Section 3.06Assumption or Termination of Subservicing Agreements by Master Servicer. In the event the Servicer at any time shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default), the Master Servicer, or its designee or the successor servicer if the successor is not the Master Servicer, shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement that the Servicer may have entered into, with copies thereof provided to the Master Servicer or the successor servicer if the successor is not the Master Servicer, prior to the Master Servicer or the successor servicer if the successor is not the Master Servicer, assuming such rights and obligations, unless the Master Servicer elects to terminate any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 3.03.

Upon such assumption, the Master Servicer, its designee or the successor servicer shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the Servicer as a party to each Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Subservicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any Subservicing Agreement that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer and (ii) none of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, their designees or any successor servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer.

The Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Master Servicer, its designee or the successor servicer deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to the Subservicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreements to the assuming party.

Section 3.07Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments. (a)  The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any applicable Insurance Policies, follow such collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing and Accepted Servicing Practices, the Servicer may (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the due dates for the Scheduled Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180 days; provided, that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Servicer shall make timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.01 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements, subject to Section 4.01(d) pursuant to

-54-

which the Servicer shall not be required to make any such advances that are Nonrecoverable P&I Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including, but not limited to, modifications that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest, extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan or waive, in whole or in part, a Prepayment Charge), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor (any and all such waivers, modifications, variances, forgiveness of principal or interest, postponements, or indulgences collectively referred to herein as “Forbearance”); provided, however, that the final maturity date of any Mortgage Loan may not be extended beyond the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for the LIBOR and Fixed Rate Certificates. The Servicer’s analysis supporting any Forbearance and the conclusion that any Forbearance meets the standards of Section 3.01 shall be reflected in writing in the Servicing File or on the Servicer’s servicing records. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may also waive (or permit a Subservicer to waive), in whole or in part, a Prepayment Charge if such waiver would, in the Servicer’s judgment, maximize recoveries on the related Mortgage Loan or if such Prepayment Charge is (i) not permitted to be collected by applicable law, or the collection of the Prepayment Charge would be considered “predatory” pursuant to written guidance published by any applicable federal, state or local regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such matters, or (ii) the enforceability of such Prepayment Charge is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership or other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment. If a Prepayment Charge is waived other than as permitted in this Section 3.07(a), then the Servicer is required to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates, by depositing such amount into the Collection Account together with and at the time that the amount prepaid on the related Mortgage Loan is required to be deposited into the Collection Account; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not have an obligation to pay the amount of any uncollected Prepayment Charge if the failure to collect such amount is the direct result of inaccurate or incomplete information on the Mortgage Loan Schedule in effect at such time. The Master Servicer shall have no responsibility for verifying the accuracy of the amount of Prepayment Charges waived or remitted by the Servicer

(b)   (i) The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain the Excess Reserve Fund Account as an asset of the Supplemental Interest Trust, on behalf of the Class X Certificateholders, to receive any Basis Risk Payment and to secure their limited recourse obligation to pay to the LIBOR and Fixed Rate Certificateholders any Basis Risk Carryover Amounts. The Excess Reserve Fund Account shall be funded on the Closing Date with an initial deposit of $1,000 by the Depositor.

(ii)On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall deposit the amount of any Basis Risk Payment for such date into the Excess Reserve Fund Account.

-55-

(c)(i)On each Distribution Date on which there exists a Basis Risk Carryover Amount on any Class of LIBOR or Fixed Rate Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall (1) withdraw from the Distribution Account and deposit in the Excess Reserve Fund Account, as set forth in Section 4.02(a)(iii)(C), the lesser of (x) the Class X Distributable Amount (without regard to the reduction in the definition thereof with respect to the Basis Risk Payment (to the extent remaining after the distributions specified in Sections 4.02(a)(iii)(A) through (E))) and (y) the aggregate Basis Risk Carryover Amounts for such Distribution Date and (2) withdraw from the Excess Reserve Fund Account amounts necessary to pay to such Class or Classes of LIBOR and Fixed Rate Certificates the applicable Basis Risk Carryover Amount. Such payments shall be allocated to those Classes on a pro rata basis based upon the amount of Basis Risk Carryover Amount owed to each such Class and shall be paid in the priority set forth in Sections 4.02(a)(iii)(D).

(ii)The Securities Administrator shall account for the Excess Reserve Fund Account as an asset of a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code and not as an asset of any REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement. The beneficial owners of the Excess Reserve Fund Account are the Class X Certificateholders. For all federal tax purposes, amounts transferred by the Upper Tier REMIC to the Excess Reserve Fund Account shall be treated as distributions by the Securities Administrator to the Class X Certificateholders.

(iii)Any Basis Risk Carryover Amounts paid by the Securities Administrator to the LIBOR and Fixed Rate Certificateholders shall be accounted for by the Securities Administrator as amounts paid first to the Holders of the Class X Certificates and then to the respective Class or Classes of LIBOR and Fixed Rate Certificates. In addition, the Securities Administrator shall account for such Certificateholders’ rights to receive payments of Basis Risk Carryover Amounts as rights in a limited recourse notional principal contract written by the Class X Certificateholders in favor of such Certificateholders.

(iv)Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall not be required to make any payments to and from the Excess Reserve Fund Account except as expressly set forth in this Section 3.07(c) and Sections 4.02(a)(iii)(C), (D) and (G).

(d)The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the Master Servicing Account on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the Master Servicing Account and retain therein the following:

(i)the aggregate amount remitted by the Servicer to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11;

(ii)any amount deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12 in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments; and

(iii)any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be deposited in the Master Servicing Account.

-56-

In the event that the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time direct the Master Servicer in writing to withdraw such amount from the Master Servicing Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering notice to the Master Servicer which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Master Servicing Account. All funds deposited in the Master Servicing Account shall be held by the Master Servicer in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement. On each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the entire amount on deposit in the Master Servicing Account (subject to permitted withdrawals as set forth above) shall be remitted to the Securities Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account by wire transfer in immediately available funds.

(e)The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain the Distribution Account on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Securities Administrator shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account and retain therein the following:

(i)any amount remitted by the Master Servicer from the Master Servicing Account pursuant to this Agreement; and

(ii)any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be deposited in the Distribution Account.

In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time direct the Securities Administrator in writing to withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering notice to the Securities Administrator which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall be held by the Securities Administrator in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 4.02.

Section 3.08Subservicing 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 segregated accounts (collectively, the “Subservicing Account”). The Subservicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall otherwise be acceptable to the Servicer. The Subservicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Subservicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Subservicer less its servicing compensation to the extent permitted by the Subservicing Agreement, and shall thereafter deposit such amounts in the Subservicing Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account. The Subservicer shall thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the Subservicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Subservicer receives such payments. Funds in the clearing account and any Subservicing Account may, in the discretion of the Servicer, be invested in Permitted Investments pending their deposit into the Subservicing Account and the Collection Account, respectively; provided, however, the Servicer shall be responsible for any losses incurred on such investments immediately upon realization.

-57-

Section 3.09Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts. To the extent the related Mortgage provides for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more segregated accounts (the “Escrow Accounts”), which shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from Subservicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors (“Escrow Payments”) collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and shall thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the Escrow Accounts, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds in the clearing account, for the purpose of effecting the payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from an Escrow Account may be made only to (i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Servicer (or a Subservicer to the extent provided in the related Subservicing Agreement) out of the collection for any advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.13 (with respect to hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account; (v) clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of the Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement; or (vi) recover amounts deposited in error. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer or Subservicers shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Escrow Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure of a tax lien. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the payment of all such bills within such time and shall effect 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; provided, however, that such advances are deemed to be Servicing Advances.

Section 3.10Collection Account. (a)  On behalf of the Trust, the Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more segregated Eligible Accounts (such account or accounts, the “Collection Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee. On behalf of the Trust, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit into the Collection Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or interest on the related Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date), or payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:

-58-

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

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

(iii)all Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds to the extent such Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds are not to be applied to the restoration of the related Mortgaged Property or released to the related Mortgagor in accordance with the express requirements of law or in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, Liquidation Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries;

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

(v)any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.13(a) in respect of any blanket policy deductibles;

(vi)all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in accordance with this Agreement; and

(vii)all Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer.

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection 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, NSF fees, reconveyance fees, assumption fees and other similar fees and charges need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account and shall, upon collection, belong to the Servicer as additional compensation for its servicing activities. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

(b)Funds in the Collection Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The Servicer shall give notice to the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof.

Section 3.11Withdrawals from the Collection Account. (a) The Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account maintained by it for any of the following purposes or as described in Section 4.01:

-59-

(i)on or prior to each Remittance Date, to remit to the Master Servicer all Available Funds in respect of the related Distribution Date together with all amounts representing Prepayment Charges (payable to the Class P Certificateholders) from the Mortgage Loans received during the related Prepayment Period;

(ii)to reimburse the Servicer for (A) P&I Advances, but only to the extent of amounts received which represent Late Collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of Scheduled Payments on Mortgage Loans with respect to which such P&I Advances were made by the Servicer in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 and (B) any unreimbursed P&I Advances to the extent of funds held in the Collection Account for a future Distribution Date that were not included in Available Funds for the preceding Distribution Date;

(iii)to pay the Servicer or any Subservicer (A) any unpaid Servicing Fees or (B) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent of any Late Collections or other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from a Mortgagor, or otherwise received with respect to such Mortgage Loan (or the related REO Property);

(iv)to pay to the Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee) on each Remittance Date any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Collection Account;

(v)to pay to the Originator, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has previously been repurchased or replaced pursuant to this Agreement, all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase or substitution, as the case may be;

(vi)to reimburse the Servicer for (A) any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance previously made which the Servicer has determined to be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 and (B) any unpaid Servicing Fees to the extent not recoverable from Late Collections or other amounts received with respect to the related Mortgage Loan under Section 3.11(a)(iii);

(vii)to pay, or to reimburse the Servicer for Servicing Advances in respect of, expenses incurred in connection with any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.15;

(viii)to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee for expenses incurred by or reimbursable to the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 6.03, Section 7.02, Section 8.05, Section 9.13 or Section 10.02;

(ix)to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, for expenses reasonably incurred in respect of the breach or defect giving rise to the repurchase obligation of the Originator or the Sponsor under this Agreement that were included in the Repurchase Price of the Mortgage Loan, including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the repurchase obligation, to the extent not otherwise paid pursuant to the terms hereof;

-60-

(x)to withdraw any amounts deposited in the Collection Account in error; and

(xi)to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon termination of this Agreement.

(b)The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant to subclauses (a)(ii), (iii), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix) above. The Servicer shall provide written notification (as set forth in Section 4.01(d)) to the Master Servicer, on or prior to the next succeeding Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to subclause (a)(vi) above.

Section 3.12Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and Escrow Account. (a)  The Servicer may invest the funds in the Collection Account maintained by it and the Escrow Account (to the extent permitted by law and the related Mortgage Loan documents) (for purposes of this Section 3.12, each such Account is referred to as an “Investment Account”), in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that any such Permitted Investment managed by or advised by the Securities Administrator or any of its Affiliates may mature, unless payable on demand, no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Servicer. The Servicer shall be entitled to sole possession over each such investment, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Servicer or its agent together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Servicer. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Servicer may:

(x) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and

(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in an Investment Account.

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

-61-

(c)During the Securities Administrator Float Period, the Securities Administrator shall hold the funds in the Distribution Account uninvested, and shall have the benefit of the use of such funds. During the Master Servicer Float Period, the Master Servicer shall hold the funds in the Master Servicing Account uninvested, and shall have the benefit of the use of such funds.

(d)Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment of funds held in the Escrow Account or the Collection Account, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment of funds held in the Escrow Account or the Collection Account, the Servicer shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.

(e)The Securities Administrator or its Affiliates are permitted to receive compensation that could be deemed to be in the Securities Administrator’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Permitted Investments. The Master Servicer or its Affiliates are permitted to receive compensation that could be deemed to be in the Master Servicer’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Permitted Investments. Such compensation shall not be considered an amount that is reimbursable for payable pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 3.13Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a)  The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in an amount which is at least equal to the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such Mortgaged Property, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The Servicer shall also cause to be maintained fire insurance with extended coverage on each REO Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property. The Servicer will comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts required to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to the Master Servicer, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood insurance has been made available, the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program).

-62-

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an insurer having a general policy rating of A:VI or better in Best’s (or such other rating that is comparable to such rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 3.13, 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 the first two sentences of this Section 3.13, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Trustee, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

(b)The Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the performance of the Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amounts as shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond in such form and amount as shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer with copies of any such insurance policies and fidelity bond; provided, however, so long as the Servicer hereunder is Wells Fargo, the Servicer may satisfy such requirement by providing the Master Servicer with a certification of any such insurance upon request. The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if an Affiliate of the Servicer has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any such errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty days’ prior written notice to the Master Servicer. The Servicer shall also cause each Subservicer to maintain a policy of insurance covering errors and omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet such requirements.

-63-

Section 3.14Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. The Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not 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 the “due-on-sale” clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Servicer believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause or if any of the other conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter into either (i) an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) a substitution agreement as provided in the succeeding sentence. The Servicer is also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note, provided, that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Originator and has a credit risk rating at least equal to that of the original Mortgagor. The Mortgage Loan, as assumed, shall conform in all respects to the requirements, representations and warranties of this Agreement. The Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy, or a new policy meeting the requirements of this Section is obtained. Any fee collected by the Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the Scheduled Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer that any such substitution, modification or assumption agreement has been completed and shall forward to the Custodian the executed original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 3.14, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

Section 3.15Realization upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an acquisition of REO Property) 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 3.07, and which are not released from this Agreement pursuant to any other provision hereof. The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to realize upon such defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Securities Administrator, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings; provided, however, with respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan, if, after such Mortgage Loan becomes 180 days or more delinquent, the Servicer determines that a significant net recovery is not possible through foreclosure, such Mortgage Loan may be charged off and the Mortgage Loan will be treated as a Liquidated Mortgage Loan giving rise to a Realized Loss. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with foreclosure or other conversion, correction of a default on a senior mortgage or restoration of any property unless it shall determine in its sole discretion (i) that such foreclosure, correction or restoration will increase the net Liquidation Proceeds of the related Mortgage Loan to the Securities Administrator, after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Servicer through Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 3.11. The Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related property, as contemplated in Section 3.11.

-64-

The proceeds of any liquidation or REO Disposition, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries or any income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer or any Subservicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11 or 3.17; second, to reimburse the Servicer for any related unreimbursed P&I Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11; third, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan or REO Imputed Interest, at the Mortgage Rate, to the date of the liquidation or REO Disposition, or to the Due Date prior to the Remittance Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a liquidation or REO Disposition; and fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than a full recovery thereof, that amount will be allocated as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, as interest at the Mortgage Rate (net of the Servicing Fee Rate). The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Servicer or any Subservicer pursuant to Section 3.11 or 3.17. The portions of the recovery so allocated to interest at the Mortgage Rate (net of the Servicing Fee Rate) and to principal of the Mortgage Loan shall be applied as follows: first, to reimburse the Servicer or any Subservicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.11 or 3.17, and second, to the Securities Administrator in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02, subject to paragraph (e) of Section 3.17 with respect to certain excess recoveries from an REO Disposition.

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 received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of the presence of, hazardous or toxic substances or wastes on the related Mortgaged Property, or if the Trustee or the Master Servicer otherwise requests, the Servicer shall cause an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property to be conducted by a qualified inspector. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall promptly provide the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor with a written report of the environmental inspection.

Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale.

Section 3.17Title, Conservation and Disposition of REO Property. (a)  This Section shall apply only to REO Properties acquired for the account of the Trustee and shall not apply to any REO Property relating to a Mortgage Loan which was purchased or repurchased from the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof. In the event that title to any such REO Property is acquired, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trust, or if not permitted by law, to Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (or, if applicable, the name of the successor Trustee) as Trustee for HSI Asset Loan Obligation Trust 2007-WF1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-WF1, or to its nominee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

(b)The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Trustee solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, 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 Servicer 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 Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee from time to time as to the status of each REO Property.

(c)The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall deposit such funds in the Collection Account.

-67-

(d)The Servicer shall deposit net of reimbursement to the Servicer for any related outstanding Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees provided in Section 3.11, or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account, in no event later than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, all revenues received with respect to the related REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property.

(e)The Servicer, upon an REO Disposition, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees from proceeds received in connection with the REO Disposition, as further provided in Section 3.11.

(f)Any net proceeds from an REO Disposition which are in excess of the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan plus all unpaid REO Imputed Interest thereon through the date of the REO Disposition shall be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

(g)The Servicer shall use Accepted Servicing Practices to sell, or cause the Subservicer to sell, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, any REO Property as soon as possible, but in no event later than the conclusion of the third calendar year beginning after the year of its acquisition by the REMIC 1 unless (i) the Servicer applies for an extension of such period from the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to the REMIC Provisions and Code Section 856(e)(3), in which event such REO Property shall be sold within the applicable extension period, or (ii) the Servicer obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the REMIC of such REO Property subsequent to such period will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC created under this Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or comparable provisions of relevant state laws at any time. The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Trustee solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) or result in the receipt by any REMIC created hereunder of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property; provided, however, that any rent received or accrued with respect to such REO Property qualifies as “rents from real property” as defined in Section 856(d) of the Code.

Section 3.18[Reserved].

(b)Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption or modification fees, late payment charges, NSF fees, reconveyance fees and other similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by the Servicer only to the extent such fees or charges are received by the Servicer.

(iv)the Class Certificate Balance of each Class of Certificates after giving effect to the distribution of principal on such Distribution Date;

-81-

(v)the Pool Stated Principal Balance for the following Distribution Date;

(vi)the amount of the Expense Fees (in the aggregate and separately stated) paid to or retained by the Servicer, any Subservicer and the Securities Administrator with respect to such Distribution Date;

(vii)the Interest Rate for each such Class of Certificates with respect to such Distribution Date;

(b)For purposes of preparing the Monthly Statement, delinquencies shall be determined and reported by the Master Servicer based on the so-called “OTS” methodology irrespective of the method for determining delinquencies utilized by the Servicer on mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans. By way of example, a Mortgage Loan would be delinquent with respect to a Scheduled Payment due on a Due Date if such Scheduled Payment is not made by the close of business on the Mortgage Loan’s next succeeding Due Date, and a Mortgage Loan would be more than 30-days Delinquent with respect to such Scheduled Payment if such Scheduled Payment were not made by the close of business on the Mortgage Loan’s second succeeding Due Date.

Such obligation of the Securities Administrator shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall have previously been provided by the Securities Administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time in effect.

On the 10th day of each calendar month (or, if such 10th day is not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day), the Servicer shall furnish to the Master Servicer (i) a monthly delinquency report in a format mutually agreed to between the Servicer and the Master Servicer and (ii) a realized loss report in a format mutually agreed to between the Servicer and the Master Servicer relating to the period ending on the last day of the preceding calendar month in a media reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer.

(c)The trustee of the Supplemental Interest Trust shall deposit into the Cap Account any amounts received from the Cap Counterparty under the Cap Agreement.

(d) Funds in the Cap Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments constituting time deposits under clause (ii) of the definition thereof.

Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall be responsible for any entity level tax reporting for the Supplemental Interest Trust.

(j)Any obligation of the Securities Administrator with respect to the Supplemental Interest Trust under the Cap Agreement shall be deemed to be an obligation of the Supplemental Interest Trust.

(b)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 said Act and such state securities laws. In determining whether a transfer is being made pursuant to an effective registration statement, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to rely solely upon a written notice to such effect from the Depositor. Except with respect to (i) the transfer of the Class X, Class P or Class R Certificates to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates to the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee, or (iii) a transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates from the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, in the event that a transfer of a Private Certificate which is a Physical Certificate 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 shall certify to the Securities Administrator in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit H (the “Transferor Certificate”) and either (i) there shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator a letter in substantially the form of Exhibit I-A (the “Rule 144A Investment Letter”) or Exhibit I-B (the “Regulation S Investment Letter”) or (ii) there shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel stating that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act. In the event that a transfer of a Private Certificate which is a Book-Entry Certificate 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 will be deemed to have made as of the transfer date each of the certifications set forth in the Transferor Certificate in respect of such Certificate and the transferee will be deemed to have made as of the transfer date each of the certifications set forth in the Rule 144A Investment Letter or Regulation S Investment Letter, as applicable, in respect of such Certificate, in each case as if such Certificate were evidenced by a Physical Certificate. As directed by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator 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 Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall cooperate with the Securities Administrator in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Securities Administrator such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Securities Administrator shall reasonably determine 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 Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Depositor 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.

For purposes of the preceding sentence, with respect to an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a Physical Certificate or a Residual Certificate, in the event the representation letter referred to in the preceding sentence is not furnished, such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the Securities Administrator by the transferee’s (including an initial acquirer’s) acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, (a) any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Physical Certificate, other than a Class P Certificate, Class X Certificate or Residual Certificate, to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, the Code or Similar Law without the delivery to the Securities Administrator of a representation letter or an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Securities Administrator as described above shall be void and of no effect and (b) any purported transfer of a Class P Certificate, Class X Certificate or Residual Certificate to a transferee that does not make the representation in clause (i) above shall be void and of no effect.

-89-

None of the Class R, Class X or Class P Certificates may be sold to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, any plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or any plan subject to any Similar Law or any person investing on behalf or with plan assets of such plan.

No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate prior to the termination of the Cap Agreement shall be made unless the Securities Administrator shall have received a representation letter from the transferee of such Certificate, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit I-A or Exhibit I-B, to the effect that either (i) such transferee is neither an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA, a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to Similar Law nor a Person acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of any such Plan to effect such transfer or (ii) the acquisition and holding of the ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate are eligible for exemptive relief under the statutory exemption for non-fiduciary service providers under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code, PTCE 84-14, PTCE 90-1, PTCE 91-38, PTCE 95-60 or PTCE 96-23 or some other applicable exemption. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate prior to the termination of the Cap Agreement on behalf of such Plan without the delivery to the Securities Administrator of a representation letter as described above shall be void and of no effect. If the ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate is a Book-Entry Certificate, the transferee will be deemed to have made a representation as provided in clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph, as applicable.

If any ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate, or any interest therein, is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the next preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate, retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of an ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate, or interest therein, was effected in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall indemnify to the extent permitted by law and hold harmless the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Master Servicer from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.

To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate or ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) 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, in the case of a Physical Certificate, the transfer was registered by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the foregoing requirements.

-90-

(c)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;

(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 a Non-Permitted Transferee;

(iv)Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c) 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 5.02(c), 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. The Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(a) and this Section 5.02(c) 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, Transferor Certificate and the Rule 144A Investment Letter. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact a Non-Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became a Non-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; and

-91-

(v)The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt 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 a Non-Permitted Transferee.

The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this Section 5.02(c) 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, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause any REMIC created hereunder 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 which, based on an Opinion of Counsel 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 a Non-Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is held by a Person that is a Non-Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.

(d)The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at the expense of the parties to such transfers.

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

If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Securities Administrator in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Securities Administrator or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, or (y) the Depositor notifies the Depository (and the Securities Administrator consents) of its intent to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository and, upon receipt of notice of such intent from the Depository, the Depository Participants holding beneficial interests in the Book-Entry Certificates agree in writing to initiate such termination, the Securities Administrator shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully registered Certificates (the “Definitive Certificates”) to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Securities Administrator of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for registration, the Securities Administrator shall issue the Definitive Certificates. None of the Servicer, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. The Depositor shall provide the Securities Administrator with an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Securities Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Securities Administrator shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided, that the Securities Administrator shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the Depository.

(f)Each Private Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer and accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8IMY (and all appropriate attachments) or W-9 in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, duly executed by the Certificateholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Securities Administrator in accordance with its customary practice. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Private Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Private Certificates.

Section 5.03Mutilated, 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 (b) there is delivered to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to a Responsible Officer of 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.

If an Event of Default described in clauses (a) through (i) of this Section 7.01 shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Master Servicer (or, if the Master Servicer and the Servicer are the same entity, the Trustee) may, or at the direction of a majority of the Voting Rights shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer related to such Event of Default (with a copy to each Rating Agency and the Cap Counterparty), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder; provided, however, that the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, shall not be required to give written notice to the Servicer of the occurrence of an Event of Default described in clauses (b) through (i) of this Section 7.01 unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, has actual knowledge of the occurrence of such an event; providedfurther, that the Depositor shall give written notice to the Servicer, Master Servicer and the Trustee of the occurrence of an Event of Default described in clause (h) of this Section 7.01 upon obtaining actual knowledge of the occurrence of such an event. In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, has actual knowledge of the occurrence of an event of default described in clause (a) or (f) of this Section 7.01, the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, shall give written notice to the Servicer of the occurrence of such an event within one Business Day of the first day on which such Responsible Officer obtains actual knowledge of such occurrence. On and after receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer hereunder, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable. Subject to Section 7.02, the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, 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 the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. Unless expressly provided in such written notice, no such termination shall affect any obligation of the Servicer to pay amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited to the Collection Account, or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

-99-

Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive from the Trust Fund, prior to transfer of its servicing obligations hereunder, payment of all accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees and reimbursement for all outstanding P&I Advances and Servicing Advances.

Section 7.02Master Servicer to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 3.25 or Section 7.01, the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, shall, subject to and to the extent provided in Section 3.05, and subject to the rights of the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, to appoint a successor servicer pursuant to this Section 7.02, be the successor to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and applicable law, including the obligation to make P&I Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 3.25 or Section 7.01. It is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition before the transfer of servicing obligations is fully effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, will have a period (not to exceed 90 days) to complete the transfer of all servicing data and correct or manipulate such servicing data as may be required by the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise enable the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. As compensation therefor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans that the Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the Collection Account if the Servicer had continued to act hereunder including, if the Servicer was receiving the Servicing Fee, the Servicing Fee and the income on investments or gain related to the Collection Account which the Servicer would be entitled to receive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, has become the successor to the Servicer in accordance with Section 7.01, the master servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making P&I Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 4.01, if it is otherwise unable to so act, or at the written request of Certificateholders entitled to at least a majority of the Voting Rights, 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 Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. Any successor to the Servicer shall make the covenant set forth in Section 6.02(b). Any successor to the Servicer shall be an institution which is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and which executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Master Servicer and the Trustee (as successor master servicer) an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, containing an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer (other than liabilities of the Servicer under Section 6.03 incurred prior to termination of the Servicer under Section 7.01), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement; provided, that each Rating Agency acknowledges 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. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, unless such party is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to Section 3.05, act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the Servicing Fee Rate and amounts paid to the Servicer from investments. The Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, and such successor servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Master Servicer, the Trustee (as successor master servicer), nor any other successor to the 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 Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it.

-100-

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, in its capacity as successor servicer, immediately shall assume all of the obligations of the Servicer to make Advances and the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, will assume the other duties of the Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 90 days after the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, becomes successor servicer pursuant to the preceding paragraph. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer) as applicable, acts as a successor servicer, it will have no obligation to make an Advance if it determines in its reasonable judgment that such Advance is nonrecoverable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, in its capacity as successor servicer, shall not be responsible for the lack of information and/or documents that it cannot obtain through reasonable efforts; provided, however, that any failure to perform any duties or responsibilities caused by the Servicer’s failure to provide information required by this Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Trustee (as successor master servicer) hereunder. In the Trustee’s capacity as such successor, the Trustee (as successor master servicer) shall have the same limitations on liability herein granted to the Servicer.

-101-

In the event that the Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 7.01, the terminated Servicer shall provide notices to the Mortgagors, transfer the Servicing Files to a successor servicer and pay all of its own out-of-pocket costs and expenses at its own expense. In addition, in the event that the Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 7.01, the terminated Servicer shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of a servicing transfer incurred by parties other than the terminated Servicer (including without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data, as may be required by the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively), promptly upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, is the terminated Servicer (except in the case where the Master Servicer in its role as successor servicer is being terminated pursuant to Section 7.01 by reason of an Event of Default caused solely by the Master Servicer as the successor servicer and not by the predecessor Servicer’s actions or omissions), such costs shall be paid by the prior terminated Servicer promptly upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs. If the terminated Servicer defaults in its obligation to pay such costs and expenses, the same shall be paid by the successor servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor Master Servicer), in which case the successor servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the Trust Fund.

Any successor to the Servicer as servicer shall give notice to the Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service as servicer, maintain in force the policy or policies that the Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to Section 3.13.

Section 7.03Notification to Certificateholders. (a)  Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to the Servicer, the Securities Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders, each Rating Agency and the Cap Counterparty.

(b)Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Securities Administrator shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders, each Rating Agency and the Cap Counterparty notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such event shall have been cured or waived.

If such corporation or association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.

The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date specified in such notice, when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation is to take effect and acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section 8.08 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If no successor trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice or resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee, then the Depositor or the Servicer may remove the Trustee and, subject to the approval of the Rating Agencies, appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, one copy to the Servicer and one copy to the successor trustee.

The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least a majority of the Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and, subject to the approval of the Rating Agencies, appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which shall be delivered by the successor Trustee to the Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. The successor trustee shall notify each Rating Agency of any removal of the Trustee.

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to this Section 8.07 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08.

Section 8.08Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee and the Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The Depositor and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.

-107-

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of its acceptance, the successor trustee is eligible under Section 8.06 and its appointment does not adversely affect then the current rating of the Certificates.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.

Section 8.09Merger or Consolidation of the Trustee. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder; provided, that such corporation shall be eligible under Section 8.06 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 8.10Appointment 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 Trustee shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider appropriate. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.

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

(a)To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee (as successor master servicer) 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 as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the 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 applicable Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

-108-

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

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

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

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when and as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection and indemnity 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 8.11Tax Matters. It is intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC election pertaining to the Trust Fund is to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and that the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such assets as, a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Securities Administrator covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Securities Administrator is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of each REMIC created hereunder and that in such capacity it shall:

(a)prepare and file in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (REMIC) Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service), which return the Trustee shall sign upon receipt from the Securities Administrator, and the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to each REMIC hereunder containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby;

-109-

(b)within thirty days of the Closing Date, apply for an employer identification number from the Internal Revenue Service via Form SS-4 or any other acceptable method for all tax entities and shall also furnish to the Internal Revenue Service, on Form 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;

(c)make an election that each REMIC created hereunder be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law);

(d)prepare and forward 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 the calculation of any original issue discount using the prepayment assumption (as described in the Prospectus Supplement);

(e)provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is a Non-Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Non-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)to the extent that they are under its control, conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of each REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions;

(g)not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any of the REMICs created hereunder;

(h)pay, from the sources specified in the last paragraph of this Section 8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on each REMIC created hereunder before its termination 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);

-110-

(i)cause federal, state or local income tax or information returns to be signed by the Securities Administrator or, if required by applicable tax law, the Trustee or such other person as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; and

(j)maintain records relating to each REMIC created hereunder, including the income, expenses, assets, and liabilities thereof on a calendar year basis and on the accrual method of accounting and the adjusted basis of the assets 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 Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class R Certificates shall act as Tax Matters Person for each REMIC created hereunder, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d), and the Securities Administrator is hereby designated as agent of such Certificateholder for such purpose (or if the Securities Administrator is not so permitted, such Holder shall be the Tax Matters Person in accordance with the REMIC Provisions). In such capacity, the Securities Administrator shall, as and when necessary and appropriate, represent each REMIC created hereunder 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 each REMIC created hereunder, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of each REMIC created hereunder, and otherwise act on behalf of each REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it.

(l)The Securities Administrator shall treat the beneficial owners of the Certificates (other than the Class P, Class X and Class R Certificates) as having entered into a notional principal contract with the beneficial owners of the Class X Certificates. Pursuant to such notional principal contract, the beneficial owner of the Class X Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Basis Risk Carryover Amounts to the Owners of the LIBOR and Fixed Rate Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments to the Certificates in light of the foregoing shall not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). Thus, each Certificate (other than a Class P and Class R Certificate) shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests in the Upper Tier REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in a notional principal contract. For tax purposes, the notional principal contract shall be deemed to have a value in favor of the Certificates entitled to receive Basis Risk Carryover Amounts of $10,000 as of the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding the priority and sources of payments set forth in Article IV hereof or otherwise, the Securities Administrator shall account for all distributions on the Certificates as set forth in this Section 8.11. In no event shall any payments of Basis Risk Carryover Amounts provided for in this Section 8.11 be treated as payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). The Securities Administrator shall file or cause to be filed with the IRS together with Form 1041 or such other form as may be applicable and shall furnish or cause to be furnished, to the Class X, LIBOR and Fixed Rate Certificateholders, the respective amounts described above that are received, in the time or times and in the manner required by the Code.

-111-

(m)To enable the Securities Administrator to perform its duties under this Agreement, the Depositor shall provide to the Securities Administrator within ten days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Securities Administrator requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including the price, yield, prepayment assumption, and projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Moreover, the Depositor shall provide information to the Securities Administrator concerning the value to each Class of Certificates of the right to receive Basis Risk Carryover Amounts. The Depositor shall provide to the Securities Administrator promptly upon written request therefor any additional information or data that the Securities Administrator may, from time to time, reasonably request to enable the Securities Administrator to perform its duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Depositor shall not be required to provide any information regarding the Mortgage Loans that the Servicer is required to provide to the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Securities Administrator for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims, or expenses of the Securities Administrator arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Securities Administrator that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, pursuant to this paragraph, accurate information or data to the Securities Administrator on a timely basis.

(n)None of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall (i) permit the creation of any interests in any REMIC other than the regular and residual interests set forth in the Preliminary Statement, (ii) receive any amount representing a fee or other compensation for services (except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement or the related Mortgage Loan documents) or (iii) otherwise knowingly or intentionally take any action, cause the Trust Fund to 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, could (i) endanger the status of any REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC or 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, or the tax on “net income from foreclosure property”) unless the Securities Administrator receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such party fails to pay such expense, and the Securities Administrator determines that taking such action is in the best interest of the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders, at the expense of the Trust Fund, but in no event at the expense of the Securities Administrator) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to the Trust Fund or any REMIC created hereunder, endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax).

(o)If any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of a REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of any REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any REMIC created hereunder after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including any minimum tax imposed on either REMIC pursuant to Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, the tax shall be paid by (i) the Master Servicer, the Trustee, or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, if such tax arises out of or results from negligence of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Originator if such tax arises out of or results from the Originator’s obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.03, (iii) the Sponsor, if such tax arises out of or results from the Sponsor’s obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.03(k), (iv) the Servicer, in the case of any such minimum tax, and otherwise if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Servicer of any of its obligations under this Agreement, or (v) in all other cases, or if any party fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i) through (iv), any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section 4.02(a).

Section 8.12Commission Reporting. (a) The Securities Administrator shall, in accordance with industry standards, prepare (for execution by the Master Servicer) and file with the Commission, via EDGAR, the following reports in respect of the Trust as and to the extent required under the Exchange Act:

(i)(A) Within 15 days after each Distribution Date (subject to permitted extensions under the Exchange Act), the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust any Form 10-D required by the Exchange Act, in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act. The Securities Administrator shall file each Form 10-D with a copy of the related Monthly Statement attached thereto. Any disclosure in addition to the Monthly Statement that is required to be included on Form 10-D (“Additional Form 10-D Disclosure”) shall be reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit V to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator and directed and approved by the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph and the Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability for the inaccuracy of any Additional 10-D Disclosure provided by any party other than the Securities Administrator, or for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, except to the extent of its obligations set forth in the next paragraph.

(B) As set forth on Exhibit V hereto, within 5 calendar days after the related Distribution Date, (i) the parties specified in Exhibit V hereto, shall be required to provide to the Securities Administrator and to the Depositor, to the extent known, in EDGAR-compatible format, or in such other format as agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and such party, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable, together with an Additional Disclosure Notification, and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D. The Securities Administrator has no duty under this Agreement to monitor or enforce the performance by the parties listed on Exhibit V of their duties under this paragraph or proactively solicit or procure from such parties any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure information. The Depositor shall be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D pursuant to this paragraph.

(C) After preparing the Form 10-D, the Securities Administrator shall, upon request, forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor (provided that such Form 10-D includes any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure). Within two Business Days after receipt of such copy, but no later than the 12^th calendar day after the Distribution Date, the Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form 10-D. In the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval, or if the Depositor does not request a copy of a Form 10-D, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such Form 10-D is in final form and the Securities Administrator may proceed with the process for execution and filing of the Form 10-D. A duly authorized representative of the Master Servicer shall sign each Form 10-D. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in paragraph (d) of this Section 8.12. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that the performance by each of the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 8.12(a)(i) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-D is contingent upon such parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 8.12(a)(i). The Depositor acknowledges that the performance by each of the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 8.12(i) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-D is also contingent upon any Servicing Function Participant strictly observing deadlines no later than those set forth in this paragraph that are applicable to the parties to this Agreement in the delivery to the Securities Administrator of any necessary Additional Form 10-D Disclosure pursuant to any applicable agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto or any Servicing Function Participant needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

-113-

(D) Form 10-D requires the registrant to indicate (by checking “yes” or “no”) that it “(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days.” The Depositor hereby instructs the Securities Administrator to check “Yes” for each item, unless the Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing, no later than the fifth calendar day after the related Distribution Date with respect to the filing of a report on Form 10-D, that the answer to either item should be “no.” The Depositor has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the Depositor was required to file such reports) and it has been subject to such filing requirement for the past 90 days.” The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such representations in preparing, executing and/or filing any such Form 10-D.

-114-

(ii)(A) On or prior to the 90^th day after the end of each fiscal year of the Trust or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act (the “10-K Filing Deadline”) (it being understood that the fiscal year for the Trust ends on December 31^st of each year), for so long as the Depositor is required to file reports with respect to the Trust under the Exchange Act, commencing in March 2008, the Securities Administrator shall prepare (for execution by the Master Servicer) and file on behalf of the Trust a Form 10-K, in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act. Each such Form 10-K shall include the following items, in each case to the extent they have been delivered to the Securities Administrator within the applicable time frames set forth in this Agreement, (i) an annual compliance statement for the Servicer and the Master Servicer and any Servicing Function Participant engaged by any such party (together with the Custodian and the Securities Administrator, each a “Reporting Servicer”) as described under Section 3.24(b), (ii)(A) the annual reports on assessment of compliance with Servicing Criteria for each Reporting Servicer, as described under Section 3.22, and (B) if any Reporting Servicer’s report on assessment of compliance with Servicing Criteria described under Section 3.22 identifies any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance of noncompliance, or if any Reporting Servicer’s report on assessment of compliance with Servicing Criteria described under Section 3.22 is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure that such report is not included and an explanation why such report is not included, provided, however, that the Securities Administrator, at its discretion, may omit from the Form 10-K any assessment of compliance or attestation report described in clause (iii) below that is not required to be filed with such Form 10-K pursuant to Regulation AB; (iii)(A) the registered public accounting firm attestation report for each Reporting Servicer, as described under Section 3.23, and (B) if any registered public accounting firm attestation report described under Section 3.23 identifies any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance of noncompliance, or if any such registered public accounting firm attestation report is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure that such report is not included and an explanation why such report is not included, and (iv) a Sarbanes-Oxley Certification as described in Section 3.24.

(B) As set forth on Exhibit W hereto, no later than March 10 (with a 5 calendar day cure period, but in no event later than March 15) of each year that the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, commencing in 2008, (i) the parties specified on Exhibit W shall be required to provide to the Securities Administrator and to the Depositor, to the extent known, in EDGAR-compatible format, or in such other format as agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and such party, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, if applicable, together with an Additional Disclosure Notification, and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K. The Securities Administrator has no duty under this Agreement to monitor or enforce the performance by the parties listed on Exhibit W of their duties under this paragraph or proactively solicit or procure from such parties any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure information. The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K pursuant to this Section 8.12 (a) (ii) (B).

-115-

(C) After preparing the Form 10-K, the Securities Administrator shall, upon request, forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor. Within three Business Days after receipt of such copy, but no later than March 25^th in any year in which the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, commencing in March 2008, the Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form 10-K. In the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval, or if the Depositor does not request a copy of a Form 10-K, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such Form 10-K is in final form and the Securities Administrator may proceed with the process for execution and filing of the Form 10-K. A senior officer of the Master Servicer in charge of the master servicing function shall sign the Form 10-K. If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in paragraph (d) of this Section 8.12. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 8.12(a)(ii) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-K is contingent upon such parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 8.12(a)(ii) and Sections 3.22, 3.23 and 3.24. The Depositor acknowledges that the performance by the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 8.12(ii) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-K is also contingent upon any Servicing Function Participant strictly observing deadlines no later than those set forth in this paragraph that are applicable to the parties to this Agreement in the delivery to the Securities Administrator of any necessary Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, any annual statement of compliance and any assessment of compliance and attestation pursuant to any applicable agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto or any Servicing Function Participant needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(D)Form 10-K requires the registrant to indicate (by checking “yes” or “no”) that it “(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to such filing requirement for the past 90 days.” The Depositor hereby instructs the Securities Administrator to check “Yes” for each item, unless the Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing, no later than the 15^th calendar day of March in any year in which the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, commencing in March 2008, that the answer to either item should be “no.” The Depositor has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the Depositor was required to file such reports) and it has been subject to such filing requirement for the past 90 days.” The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such representations in preparing, executing and/or filing any such Form 10-K.

-116-

(iii)(A) Within four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring disclosure on Form 8-K and (each such event, a “Reportable Event”), if directed by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust Fund any Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act, provided that the Depositor shall file the initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance of the Certificates. Any disclosure or information related to a Reportable Event or that is otherwise required to be included on Form 8-K (“Form 8-K Disclosure Information”) shall be reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit X to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator and directed and approved by the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph and the Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Form 8-K Disclosure Information or any Form 8-K, except to the extent of its obligations set forth in the next paragraph.

(B) As set forth on Exhibit X hereto, for so long as the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, no later than the close of business New York City time on the 2nd Business Day after the occurrence of a Reportable Event (i) the parties hereto shall be required to provide to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent known, in EDGAR-compatible format, or in such other format as agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and such party, the form and substance of any Form 8-K Disclosure Information, if applicable, together with an Additional Disclosure Notification, and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Form 8-K Disclosure Information.

(C) After preparing the Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator shall, upon request, forward electronically a copy of the Form 8-K to the Depositor. Promptly, but no later than the close of business on the third Business Day after the Reportable Event, the Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form 8-K. In the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval, or if the Depositor does not request a copy of a Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such Form 8-K is in final form and the Securities Administrator may proceed with the process for execution and filing of the Form 8-K. A duly authorized representative of the Master Servicer shall sign each Form 8-K. If a Form 8-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 8-K needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in paragraph (d) of this Section 8.12. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 8.12(d)(iii) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 8-K is contingent upon such parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 8.12(d)(iii). The Depositor acknowledges that the performance by the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 8.12(iii) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 8-K is also contingent upon any Servicing Function Participant strictly observing deadlines no later than those set forth in this paragraph that are applicable to the parties to this Agreement in the delivery to the Securities Administrator of any necessary Form 8-K Disclosure Information pursuant to the related any applicable agreement. The Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto or any Servicing Function Participant needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

-117-

(b)The Depositor acknowledges and agrees that the Securities Administrator may include in any Exchange Act report all relevant information, data, and exhibits as the Securities Administrator may receive in connection with such report irrespective of any provision or Regulation AB that may permit the exclusion of such material. By the way of example, the Securities Administrator may file all assessments of compliance, attestation reports and compliance statements timely received from any Item 1122 Servicing Function Participant irrespective of any applicable minimum pool asset percentage requirement for disclosure related to such Servicing Function Participant.

(c)The Depositor agrees to furnish promptly to the Securities Administrator, from time to time upon request, such additional information, data, reports, documents, and financial statements within the Depositor’s possession or control as the Securities Administrator reasonably requests as necessary or appropriate to prepare and file the foregoing reports. The Securities Administrator shall make available to the Depositor copies of all Exchange Act reports filed hereunder.

(d) (i)On or before January 30 of the first year in which the Securities Administrator is able to do so under applicable law, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file a Form 15 relating to the automatic suspension of reporting in respect of the Trust under the Exchange Act.

-118-

(ii) 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 will promptly notify electronically the Depositor. In the case of Form 10-D and 10-K, the parties to this Agreement will 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. In the case of Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure information on the next Form 10-D. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K needs to be amended in connection with any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure (other than, in the case of Form 10-D, for the purpose of restating any Monthly Statement), Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or Form 8-K Disclosure Information, the Securities Administrator will notify electronically the Depositor and such other parties to this Agreement as are affected by this Amendment and such parties will cooperate to prepare any necessary 8-KA, 10-DA or 10-KA. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K shall be signed by a duly authorized representative or senior officer in charge of master servicing, as applicable, of the Master Servicer. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by each of the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 8.12(d) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is contingent upon each such party performing its duties under this Section. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto or any Servicing Function Participant needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Depositor shall be responsible for all costs and expenses of the Securities Administrator related to the preparation and filing of any such amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Form 10-D needs to be amended solely to change the information contained in the Monthly Statement, the Securities Administrator shall not be required to notify the Depositor of such amendment.

(e)Other than the Exchange Act reports specified above, the Securities Administrator shall have no responsibility to file any items or reports with the Commission under the Exchange Act or otherwise; provided, however, the Securities Administrator and Master Servicer will cooperate with the Depositor in connection with any additional filings with respect to the Trust as the Depositor deems necessary under the Exchange Act.

(f)The Depositor shall pay all costs and expenses of the Securities Administrator related to the preparation and filing of any current report on Form 8-K, any periodic report on Form 10-D (other than the costs and expense of the Securities Administrator associated with the preparation and filing of the Monthly Statement), or any amendment to any Exchange Act report. Except as otherwise provided herein, all expenses incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with its preparation and filing of Exchange Act reports hereunder shall not be reimbursable from the Trust.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer and a Servicer are the same entity, the Trustee, has actual knowledge, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, plans to take in respect of such default. So long as an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall take the actions specified in Article VII. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Credit Risk Management Agreement entered into by the Servicer to the contrary, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall have no duty or obligation to enforce the Credit Risk Management Agreement or to supervise, monitor or oversee the activities of the Servicer under the Credit Risk Management Agreement with respect to any action taken or not taken by the Servicer at the direction of the Sponsor or pursuant to a recommendation of the Credit Risk Manager.

In the event the full costs associated with the transition of servicing responsibilities to the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, are not paid for by the predecessor or successor servicer (provided such successor servicer is not the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer)), the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, may be reimbursed therefor by the Trust for all costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, associated with any such transfer of servicing duties from the Servicer to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or any other successor servicer.

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

(a) It is intended that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property and not a grant of a security interest to secure a loan. However, if such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (1) the rights and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (2) the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates a first priority security interest to secure repayment of an obligation in an amount equal to the aggregate Class Certificate Balances of the Certificates in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, the Trust Fund and the Supplemental Interest Trust and all proceeds of any and all property constituting the Trust Fund and the Supplemental Interest Trust to secure payment of the Certificates (such security interest being, to the extent of the assets that constitute the Supplemental Interest Trust, pari passu with the security interest as provided in clause (4) below); (3) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law; and (4) the Cap Counterparty shall be deemed, during the term of such agreement and while such agreement is the property of the Trustee, to have a security interest in all of the assets that constitute the Supplemental Interest Trust, but only to the extent of such Cap Counterparty’s right to payment under the Cap Agreement (such security interest being pari passu with the security interest as provided in clause (2) above). If such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan and the trust created by this Agreement terminates prior to the satisfaction of the claims of any Person holding any Certificate, the security interest created hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person, and all proceeds shall be distributed by the Securities Administrator as herein provided.

(b)The Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other property described above, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and shall be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Depositor shall, at its own expense, make all initial filings on or about the Closing Date and shall forward a copy of such filing or filings to the Trustee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the relevant UCC to perfect the Trustee’s security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation (x) continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of the Sponsor, the Depositor or the Trustee, (2) any change of location of the jurisdiction of organization of the Sponsor or the Depositor, (3) any transfer of any interest of the Sponsor or the Depositor in any Mortgage Loan or (4) any change under the relevant UCC or other applicable laws. Neither the Sponsor nor the Depositor shall organize under the law of any jurisdiction other than the State under which each is organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing under an additional jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior written notice of such action to its immediate and intermediate transferee, including the Trustee. Before effecting such change, the Sponsor or the Depositor proposing to change its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and file in the appropriate filing office any financing statements or other statements necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its immediate and intermediate transferees, including the Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Sponsor and the Depositor authorizes its immediate or intermediate transferee to file in any filing office any initial financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation statements, or any other statements or filings described in this paragraph (b).

HSI Asset Loan Obligation Trust 2007-WF1

Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as HSI Asset Loan Obligation Trust 2007-WF1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created by the Agreement.

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

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

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

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

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the parties to the Agreement with the consent of the Holders of Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest, as provided in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor 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.

EXHIBIT A-7

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register of the Securities Administrator upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices designated by the Securities Administrator for such purposes, 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 of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

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

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

The Trustee, the Depositor and the Securities Administrator and any agent of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Master Servicer may, or upon the instruction of the Depositor, shall, purchase the Mortgage Loans and therefore cause the termination of the Trust on any Optional Termination Date, which is any Distribution Date following any month in which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day of the related Due Period is less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. Any such purchase of the Mortgage Loans would result in the payment on that Distribution Date of the final distribution on the Certificates.

The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate as provided in Section 11.01 of the Agreement.

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

Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as HSI Asset Loan Obligation Trust 2007-WF1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created by the Agreement.

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

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

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

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

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

EXHIBIT B-5

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register of the Securities Administrator upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices designated by the Securities Administrator for such purposes, 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 of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

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

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

The Trustee, the Depositor and the Securities Administrator and any agent of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Master Servicer may, or upon the instruction of the Depositor, shall, purchase the Mortgage Loans and therefore cause the termination of the Trust on any Optional Termination Date, which is any Distribution Date following any month in which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day of the related Due Period is less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. Any such purchase of the Mortgage Loans would result in the payment on that Distribution Date of the final distribution on the Certificates.

The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate as provided in Section 11.01 of the Agreement.

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

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

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

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

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

EXHIBIT D-5

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register of the Securities Administrator upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices designated by the Securities Administrator for such purposes, 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 of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

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

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

The Trustee, the Depositor and the Securities Administrator and any agent of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Master Servicer may, or upon the instruction of the Depositor, shall, purchase the Mortgage Loans and therefore cause the termination of the Trust on any Optional Termination Date, which is any Distribution Date following any month in which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day of the related Due Period is less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. Any such purchase of the Mortgage Loans would result in the payment on that Distribution Date of the final distribution on the Certificates.

FORM OF RESIDUAL TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT

HSI Asset Loan Obligation Trust 2007-WF1

Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-WF1

STATE OF	)
	)	ss.:
COUNTY OF	)

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

1.The undersigned is an officer of ___________________, the proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate (the “Certificate”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Agreement”), relating to the above-referenced Series, dated as of January 1, 2007 among HSI Asset Securitization Corporation, as depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as servicer, originator and custodian, CitiMortgage, Inc., as master servicer, Citibank, N.A., as securities administrator, OfficeTiger Global Real Estate Services Inc., as Credit Risk Manager, and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee. Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee for the benefit of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee.

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

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

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

EXHIBIT G-1

5.The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.

6.The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is a Non-Permitted Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Securities Administrator a certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit H to the Agreement (a “Transferor Certificate”) to the effect that, among other things, such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is a Non-Permitted Transferee.

7.The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Certificate. The Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come due and intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future. The Transferee intends to pay all taxes due with respect to the Certificate as they become due.

8.The Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is __________.

9.The Transferee is not a Disqualified Non-U.S. Person as defined in the Agreement.

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

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

EXHIBIT G-2

12.Check the applicable paragraph:

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

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

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

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

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

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

(i)the Transferee is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;

(ii)at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Transferee’s two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the Transferee had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related to the Transferee within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million;

(iii)the Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations; and

(iv)the Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Transferee) that it has determined in good faith.

o None of the above.

EXHIBIT G-3

13.The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to any Federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting on behalf of or investing plan assets of such a plan.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be executed on its behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its duly authorized officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly attested, this ___ day of _______, 20__.

Prior to Company’s receipt of the Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall cause the Custodian to act as bailee for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company pursuant to the Custodial Agreement and this Agreement and act only in accordance with Company’s instructions. Upon the Company’s receipt of the Purchase Price, the Company shall provide notification to the Custodian to release the ownership of the Mortgage Loan Documents delivered in the Custodial Mortgage File to the Purchaser.

If not purchased by the Purchaser, such Mortgage Loans shall be deleted from the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. 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 Custodial Mortgage Files shall not affect the Purchaser's (or any of its successor's) rights to demand repurchase or other relief or remedy as provided under this Agreement.

The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage, have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by a written instrument which has been recorded or registered with the MERS System, if necessary, to protect the interests of the Purchaser and is retained by the Company in the Servicing File; the related Mortgage Note has been delivered to the Custodian.

24

(j) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property.

The Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a contiguous parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, 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 townhouse, provided, however, that any condominium project or planned unit development shall conform to the applicable Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac requirements, or the Underwriting Guidelines, regarding such dwellings, and no residence or dwelling is a mobile home.

(k) Valid First Lien.

The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and enforceable 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 located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:

(1) the lien of 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 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 (i) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (ii) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and

(3) 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.

25

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and the Company has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser;

(l) Full Disbursement of Proceeds.

The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed, except for escrows established or created due to seasonal weather conditions, and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder. 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. No escrow holdback will result in any understated finance charge to the Borrower other than permitted by applicable law;

(m) Consolidation of Future Advances.

Any future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date, have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term 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 Company shall not make future advances after the Cut-off Date;

(n) Ownership.

The Company is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not assigned or pledged, and the Company has good and marketable title thereto and has full right and authority to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser. The Company is transferring the Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all encumbrances, liens, pledges, equities, participation interests, claims, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan;

(o) Origination/Doing Business.

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

26

(p) LTV, PMI Policy.

No Mortgage Loan has an LTV or CLTV greater than 100%. Except as indicated on the related Data File, if the LTV of the Mortgage Loans was 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 which is not an LPMI Policy, 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. All provisions of such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy have been and are being complied with, such 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 or an LPMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor or the Company to maintain the PMI Policy or LPMI Policy, as applicable, 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;

(q) Title Insurance.

The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy (or in the case of any Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such policies are generally not available, an opinion of counsel of the type customarily rendered in such jurisdiction in lieu of title insurance), 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 Additionally, such lender's title insurance policy includes no exceptions regarding ingress, egress or encroachments that impact the value or the marketability of the Mortgaged Property. 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;

27

(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 sixty (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 thirty (30) years, with interest payable in arrears. With respect to each Balloon Loan that is not an Interest Only Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest based on a fifteen (15), thirty (30) or forty (40) year amortization schedule, as set forth in the related Mortgage Note, and a final lump sum payment substantially greater than the preceding Monthly Payment is required which is sufficient to amortize the remaining principal balance of the Balloon Loan. 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 the Periodic Interest Rate Cap 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 Note for such Mortgage Loan. Each 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.

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.

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 applicable 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 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 value of a Mortgage Loan or the interests of the 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 or the Purchaser’s interest in a Mortgage Loan, 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 ninety (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. 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 Remittance Date immediately following the Principal Prepayment Period in which such Repurchase Price is received, 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is understood by the parties hereto that a breach of the representations and warranties made in Subsections 3.02(oo), (qq) or (ss) will be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Purchaser therein.

36

In addition to such repurchase obligation, the Company shall indemnify the Purchaser and 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 representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.

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 Subservicer or 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 Subservicer and a Subcontractor, and the Company’s utilization of a Subservicer or 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 permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment thereof or of any principal or interest payments, reduce the outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of principal), make additional advances of additional principal or extend the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan, unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Company, imminent. In the event that no default exists or is imminent, the Company shall request written consent from the Purchaser to permit such a modification and the Purchaser shall provide written consent or notify the Company of its objection to such modification within three (3) Business Days of its receipt of the Company's request. 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.

37

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 MERS registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS System, 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 notify MERS of the ownership interest of the Purchaser in each MOM Loan through the MORNET system or MIDANET system, as applicable, or any other comparable system acceptable to MERS.

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. In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not subject to an assignable life of loan Flood Zone Service Contract or Tax Service Contract as of the Closing Date, the Company agrees to purchase such Flood Zone Service Contract or Tax Service Contract.

Section 4.02Liquidation of Mortgage Loans.

(a)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 ninety (90) days or any other default continues for a period of ninety (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 commencement of foreclosure proceedings. The Company shall use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such a manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Purchaser, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. 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). The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Company shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property in excess of $2,000 unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to 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 herein. 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, the Company shall take such action as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the Purchaser.

38

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.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.02, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Company has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property the Company shall not either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action, with respect to, such Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the Purchaser would be considered to hold title to, to be a mortgagee-in-possession of, or to be an owner or operator of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Company has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a prudent report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards, that:

39

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

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

The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 4.02 shall be advanced by the Company, subject to the Company's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account.

If the Company determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Purchaser to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Company shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Purchaser. The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Company, subject to the Company's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account.

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

Section 4.03Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

40

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.

The Company shall not waive any Prepayment Penalty with respect to any Mortgage Loan which contains a Prepayment Penalty which prepays during the term of the charge. If the Company fails to collect the Prepayment Penalty upon any prepayment of any Mortgage Loan which contains a Prepayment Penalty, the Company shall pay the Purchaser at such time (by deposit to the Custodial Account) an amount equal to amount of the Prepayment Penalty which was not collected. Notwithstanding the above, the Company may waive (and shall waive, in the case of (v) below) a Prepayment Penalty without paying the Purchaser the amount of the Prepayment Penalty (i) if the Mortgage Loan is in default (defined as 61 days or more delinquent) and such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Penalty and the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) if the prepayment is not a result of a refinancing by the Company or any of its affiliates and the Mortgage Loan is foreseen to be in default and such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Penalty and the related Mortgage Loan, (iii) if the collection of the Prepayment Penalty would be in violation of applicable laws, (iv) if the collection of such Prepayment Penalty would be considered “predatory” pursuant to written guidance published or issued by any applicable federal, state or local regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and having jurisdiction over such matters and (v) notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary, any instance when a Mortgage Loan is in foreclosure.

Section 4.04Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Account.

The Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with 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. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit L hereto. A copy of such certification shall be furnished to the Purchaser or to any subsequent owner of the Mortgage Loans upon request. 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 two (2) Business Days of Company’s receipt, and retain therein, the following collections received by the Company and payments made by the Company after the Cut-off Date, other than payments of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date, or received by the Company prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto:

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. Such Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. Any interest or earnings 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.

42

If the balance on deposit in the Custodial Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day and the Custodial Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of Eligible Account, the Company shall, on or before twelve o'clock noon Eastern time on such Business Day, withdraw from the Custodial Account any and all amounts payable to the Purchaser and remit such amounts to the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

The Company may use such withdrawn funds only for the purposes described in this Section 4.05.

The Company shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Custodial Account pursuant to subclauses (i), (ii), (iii), (v) and (vii) above. The Company shall provide written notification in the form of a Servicing Officers’ certification to the Purchaser, on or prior to the next succeeding Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to subclause (vii) above.

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. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit K hereto. A copy of such certification shall be furnished to the Purchaser or to any subsequent owner of the Mortgage Loans upon request. 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 two (2) 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;

(iv) all Servicing Advances for Mortgagors whose Escrow Payments are insufficient to cover escrow disbursements.

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, PMI Policy premiums, if applicable, 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 payments or 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, Mortgage Note and this Agreement;

45

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 insurance 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 and 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 in a timely fashion. 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 or the Escrow Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time so long as such accounts remain Eligible Accounts. The Company shall promptly notify the Purchaser of such transfer.

Section 4.10Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Company shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage such that all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a Qualified 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 the related Mortgaged Property is 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 the applicable law and pursuant to the Fannie Mae Guide, that the 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 they must obtain such flood insurance coverage and if the Mortgagor fails to provide proof of such coverage within forty-five (45) days of such notice, the Company shall force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor's behalf.

46

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’s behalf.

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 thirty (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.

47

Any cost incurred by the Company in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to the Purchaser, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or 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 such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.

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 Properties securing 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 and the terms of such policy. 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 or REO Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been one or more losses 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 thirty 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 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 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 Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions 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 certificate of insurance for such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Purchaser.

48

Section 4.13Inspections.

If any Mortgage Loan is more than sixty (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, upon request, shall provide the Purchaser with such information.

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.

Except for the Pledged Asset Mortgage Loans or as indicated on the related Data File, for 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 insuring the 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 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 6.01, 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.

49

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 the Purchaser's designee, or in the event that such person 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. 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 benefit of 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 and in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receiptby such REMIC of any "income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any "net income from foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(c)(2) of the Code. 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 annually thereafter. The Servicer shall make or cause to be made an electronic 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 Owner upon receipt. The Company shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than one (1) year, except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as the Company deems to be in the best interest of the Purchaser.

50

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 (1) year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Company determines, and gives appropriate notice to the Purchaser, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a period longer than one (1) year 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 a separate servicing agreement between the Company and the Purchaser shall be entered into with respect to such purchase money mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a REMIC election is made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property are held, such REO Property shall be disposed of 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.

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 proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account only with the prior written consent of the Purchaser. 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.

51

With respect to each REO Property, the Company shall segregate and 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 a separate REO Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Company may employ the Custodial Account as the REO Account to the extent that the Company can separately identify any REO funds deposited herein. The creation of any REO Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit L hereto. A copy of such certification shall be furnished to the Purchaser or to any subsequent owner of the Mortgage Loans upon request.

The Company shall deposit or cause to be deposited, in a clearing account on a daily basis and in each REO Account with two (2) Business Days of receipt all revenues received with respect to the related REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 11.10 hereof and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Company. The Company shall not be entitled to retain interest paid or other earnings, if any, on funds deposited in such REO Account.

Each REO Disposition 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 interest of thePurchaser only with the prior written consent of the Purchaser. If as of the date title to any REO Property was acquired by the Company there were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to the REO Property, the Company, upon an REO Disposition of such REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances from proceeds received in connection with such REO Disposition.

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 available to the Company 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.

52

Following the foreclosure sale or abandonment of any Mortgaged Property, the Company shall file 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 4.20Notification of Adjustments.

With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Company shall adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on the related Adjustment Date in compliance with the requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage and 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 adjustments. 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 without any reimbursement therefor.

Section 4.21Confidentiality/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 objectives of the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information, 66 Fed. Reg. 8616 (the “Interagency Guidelines”). For purposes of this Section, the term “Customer Information” shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Interagency Guidelines.

Section 4.22Fair 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 4.23Use of Subservicers and Subcontractors.

53

(a)It shall not be necessary for the Company to seek the consent of the Purchaser, any Master Servicer or any Depositor to the utilization of any Subservicer. The Company shall cause any Subservicer used by the Company (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Purchaser and any Depositor to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.23 and with Sections 6.04, 6.06, 9.01(e)(iii), 9.01(e)(v) and 9.01(f) of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicer were the Company, and to provide the information required with respect to such Subservicer under Section 9.01(l)(iv) of this Agreement. The Company shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subservicer and delivering to the Purchaser and any Depositor any servicer compliance statement required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 6.04 and any assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 6.06 and any certification required to be delivered to the Person that will be responsible for signing the Sarbanes Certification under Section 6.06 as and when required to be delivered.

Each Subservicer shall be authorized to transact business 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. Notwithstanding the provisions of any subservicing agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Company or a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through the Company or otherwise, the Company shall remain obligated and liable to the Purchaser and its successors and assigns for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Company alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. Every subservicing agreement entered into by the Company shall contain a provision giving the successor servicer the option to terminate such agreement, without fee, in the event a successor servicer is appointed. All actions of each Subservicer performed pursuant to the related subservicing agreement shall be performed as an agent of the Company with the same force and effect as if performed directly by the Company.

54

For purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are received by a Subservicer regardless of whether such payments are remitted by the Subservicer to the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the Assignment Agreements shall not be deemed to be subservicing agreements.

As a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Company shall cause any such Subcontractor used by the Company (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Purchaser and any Depositor to comply with the provisions of Sections 6.06 and 9.01(f) of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Company. The Company shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering to the Purchaser and any Depositor any assessment of compliance and attestation and other certifications required to be delivered by such Subservicer and such Subcontractor under Section 6.06, in each case as and when required to be delivered.

Any subservicing agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the Company alone and the Purchaser shall not be deemed a party thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to any Subservicer.

In connection with the assumption of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities and of the authority, power and rights of the Company hereunder by a successor servicer pursuant to Section 12.01 of this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that the Company’s rights and obligations under any subservicing agreement then in force between the Company and a Subservicer shall be assumed simultaneously by such successor servicer without act or deed on the part of such successor servicer; provided, however, that any successor servicer may terminate the Subservicer.

The Company shall, upon the reasonable request of the Purchaser, but at its own expense, deliver to the assuming party documents and records relating to each subservicing agreement and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the subservicing agreements to the assuming party.

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 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 or substitution of liability, the Company shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of prudent mortgage lenders in the state in which the related Mortgaged Property is located. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, Mortgage Interest Rate, the amount of the Monthly Payment, and the final maturity date of such Mortgage Note may not be changed without the Purchaser’s consent. 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.

57

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 Loan. If the credit worthiness 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 6.01 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 a Mortgaged Property that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

Section 6.02Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Custodial 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.

If the Company satisfies or releases the lien of the Mortgage without first having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage (other than as a result of a modification of the Mortgage pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or liquidation of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) 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 two (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.

58

Section 6.03Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account the amount of its Servicing Fee. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly and shall be computed on the basis of the unpaid principal balance and for the period respecting which any related interest payment on a Mortgage Loan is received. The obligation of the Purchaser to pay the Servicing Fee is limited to, and payable solely from, the interest portion (including recoveries with respect to interest from Liquidation Proceeds, to the extent permitted by Section 4.05) 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 not be permitted to retain any portion of the Prepayment Penalties collected on the Mortgage Loans. 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.

On or before March 1 of each calendar year, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser, any Master Servicer or any Depositor, as directed by the Depositor, a statement of compliance addressed to the Purchaser, such Master Servicer or 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. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Purchaser to any Person identified as a prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans.

Neither the Purchaser, any Master Servicer nor any Depositor will request delivery of a certification under clause (iv) above unless a Depositor is required under the Exchange Act to file an annual report on Form 10-K with respect to an issuing entity whose asset pool includes Mortgage Loans.

Each assessment of compliance provided by a Subservicer pursuant to Section 6.06(i) shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto delivered to the Purchaser at the time of any Securitization Transaction or, in the case of a Subservicer subsequently appointed as such, on or prior to the date of such appointment.

(iii)The Company shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser (or any designee of the Purchaser), any 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.

(b) The Company shall deliver to the Purchaser, and to any Person designated by the Purchaser, such legal documents and in-house Opinions of Counsel as are customarily delivered by originators or servicers, as the case may be, and reasonably determined by the Purchaser to be necessary in connection with an Reconstitution, as the case may be, such in-house Opinions of Counsel for a Securitization Transaction to be in the form reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser, it being understood that the cost of any opinions of outside special counsel that may be required for a Reconstitution, as the case may be, shall be the responsibility of the Purchaser;

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 it 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 the Purchaser or such successor. The resignation or removal of the Company as servicer pursuant to the aforementioned sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 12.01 and shall in no event relieve the Company of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.02 and the remedies available to the Purchaser under Sections 3.03 and 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 sale, assignment, 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, wherein the successor shall make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01, except for subsection (h) with respect to the sale of the Mortgage Loans and subsections (i) and (k) thereof, 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 as servicer or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.04, 10.01, 11.01 or 11.02 shall not affect any claims that any Purchaser may have against the Company arising out of the Company's actions or failure to act prior to any such termination or resignation.

80

The Company shall deliver promptly to the successor servicer the funds in the Custodial Account, REO Account and Escrow Account and the Servicing Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Company 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, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company as servicer, including making any transfers on the MERS System. The successor shall make arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the Company for amounts the Company actually expended as servicer pursuant to this Agreement which the successor is entitled to retain 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 in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 12.05.

Section 12.02Amendment.

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by written agreement signed by the Company and the Purchaser.

This provision is a material inducement for the Purchaser to enter into this Agreement.

Section 12.18Intention of the Parties.

85

It is the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Company is selling, the Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of the Company or another security. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction for Federal income tax purposes as a sale by the Company, 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 Company shall cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such review. In the event, for any reason, any transaction contemplated herein is construed by any court or regulatory authority as a borrowing rather than as a sale, the Company and the Purchaser intend that the Purchaser or its assignee, as the case may be, shall have a perfected first priority security interest in the Mortgage Loans, the Custodial Account and the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing (collectively, the “Collateral”), free and clear of adverse claims. In such case, the Company shall be deemed to have hereby granted to the Purchaser or its assignee, as the case may be, a first priority security interest in and lien upon the Collateral, free and clear of adverse claims. In such event, the related Commitment Letter and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement, the Custodian shall be deemed to be an independent custodian for purposes of perfection of the security interest granted to the Purchaser or its assignee, as the case may be, and the Purchaser or its assignee, as the case may be, shall have all of the rights of a secured party under applicable law.

7. Except in the case of MERS Mortgage Loans, originals or certified true copies of documents sent for recordation of all intervening assignments of the Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon, or if any such intervening assignment has not been returned from the applicable recording office or has been lost or if such public recording office retains the original recorded assignments of mortgage, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian, a photocopy of such intervening assignment, together with (i) in the case of a delay caused by the public recording office, an Officer's Certificate of the Company stating that such intervening assignment of mortgage has been dispatched to the appropriate public recording office for recordation and that such original recorded intervening assignment of mortgage or a copy of such intervening assignment of mortgage certified by the appropriate public recording office or by the title insurance company that issued the title policy to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded intervening assignment of mortgage will be promptly delivered to the Custodian upon receipt thereof by the Company; or (ii) in the case of an intervening assignment where a public recording office retains the original recorded intervening assignment or in the case where an intervening assignment is lost after recordation in a public recording office, a copy of such intervening assignment certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded intervening assignment.

8. The electronic form of PMI Policy as identified by certificate number.

9. The original mortgagee policy of title insurance or other evidence of title such as a copy of the title commitment or copy of the preliminary title commitment.

20. Photograph of the Mortgaged Property.

21. Survey of the Mortgage property, if required by the title company or applicable law.

Notwithstanding Paragraphs 1 and 3 above, the Purchaser acknowledges that the Company may deliver (i) a Mortgage Note for which the chain of endorsements is not identical to that of the intervening Assignments with respect to such Mortgage Note, which shall not affect the enforceability of such Mortgage Note, and/or (ii) intervening Assignments which are not identical to the chain of endorsements with respect to such Mortgage Note, which shall not affect the validity of such intervening Assignments; provided, however, that such acknowledgment shall in no way operate to negate the Purchaser's remedies for the Company’s breach of the representations and warranties under this Agreement.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL

Re: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.

Mortgage Loan Series @

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 the mortgage loans designated as Mortgage Loan Series @ (the “Mortgage Loans”) pursuant to that certain Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement by and between the Company and @ (the “Purchaser”), dated as of @, 20__, (the “Agreement”), which sale is in the form of whole Mortgage Loans. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

I have examined the following documents:

1. the Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement;

2. the Custodial Agreement;

3. the form of endorsement of the Mortgage Notes; and

4. 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 Agreement. 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 Agreement, the Custodial Agreement and all requisite power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Agreement, 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 @, 20__, 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 Agreement, 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, conservatorship 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 or facsimile signature in order to complete the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and the Custodial Agreement and 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 Agreement, the Custodial Agreement, 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 Agreement, the Custodial Agreement or the sale and delivery of the Mortgage Loans or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement 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 Agreement 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 Agreement, 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 Agreement 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 Agreement.

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,

@

FREDDIE MAC REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

1. Eligible Products.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagor was not encouraged or required to select a mortgage loan product offered by the Mortgage Loan’s originator which is a higher cost product designed for less creditworthy borrowers, taking into account such facts as, without limitation, the Mortgage Loan’s requirements and the borrower’s credit history, income, assets and liabilities. For a borrower who seeks financing through a Mortgage Loan originator’s higher-priced subprime lending channel, the borrower should be directed towards or offered the Mortgage Loan originator’s standard mortgage line if the borrower is able to qualify for one of the standard products.

2.Borrower’s Ability to Repay.

The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage Loan in the trust did not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such extension of credit. The methodology employed objective criteria that related such facts as, without limitation, the borrower’s credit history, income, assets or liabilities, to the proposed mortgage payment and, based on such methodology, the Mortgage Loan’s originator made a reasonable determination that at the time of origination the Mortgagor had the ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan.

3. Mortgage Premise Located in Georgia.

There is no Mortgage Loan that was originated on or after October 1, 2002 and before March 7, 2003, that is secured by property located in the State of Georgia. There is no Mortgage Loan that was originated on or after March 7, 2003, that is a “high cost home loan” as defined under the Georgia Fair Lending Act.

4. Prepayment Penalties.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains a Prepayment Penalty: (a) the Mortgage Loan provides some benefit to the Mortgagor (e.g., a rate or fee reduction) in exchange for accepting such Prepayment Penalty; (b) the Mortgage Loan’s originator had a written policy of offering the Mortgagor, or requiring third-party brokers to offer the Mortgagor, the option of obtaining a mortgage loan that did not require payment of such a Prepayment Penalty; (c) the Prepayment Penalty was adequately disclosed to the Mortgagor pursuant to applicable state and federal law; (d) no subprime Mortgagor Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002 will provide for Prepayment Penalties for a term in excess of three years and any Mortgage Loans originated prior to such date, and any non-subprime loans, will not provide for Prepayment Penalties for a term in excess of five years; in each case unless the Mortgage Loan was modified to reduce the prepayment period to no more than three years from the date of the note and the Mortgagor was notified in writing of such reduction in prepayment period; and (e) such Prepayment Penalty shall not be imposed in any instance when the Mortgage Loan is accelerated or paid off in connection with the workout of a delinquent Mortgage Loan or due to the Mortgagor’s default, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan or state or federal law might permit the imposition of such Prepayment Penalty.

NOTE: At the time of a Securitization Transaction, this representation and warranty replaces Section 3.02(xx).

5. Manufactured Housing.

No Mortgage Loan is secured by manufactured housing.
