The Mortgage Loans will be purchased by the Depositor from PHH Mortgage (as defined herein) and Bishop’s Gate Residential Mortgage Trust (“Bishop’s Gate” and together with PHH Mortgage, the “Sellers”) pursuant to a mortgage loan purchase agreement (the “Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement”) to be dated as of April 1, 2007 (the “Cut-off Date”).

The Depositor proposes to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Act (the “1933 Act Regulations”) a supplement dated April 24, 2007 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), to the prospectus dated November 27, 2006 (the “Base Prospectus”), relating to the Certificates and the method of distribution thereof. Such registration statement (No. 333-131214) including exhibits thereto and any information incorporated therein by reference, as amended at the date hereof, is hereinafter called the “Registration Statement”; and the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement and any information incorporated therein by reference, together with any amendment thereof or supplement thereto authorized by the Depositor on or prior to the Closing Date for use in connection with the offering of the Certificates, are hereinafter called the “Prospectus”.

(k)No filing or registration with, notice to, or consent, approval, authorization or order or other action of, any court or governmental authority or agency is required for the consummation by the Depositor of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (other than as required under state securities laws or Blue Sky laws, as to which no representations and warranties are made by the Depositor), except such as have been, or will have been prior to the Closing Date, obtained under the Act, and such recordations of the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee or, if applicable, to Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc.

(m)At the time of execution and delivery of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Depositor will own the mortgage notes (the “Mortgage Notes”) being transferred to the Trust Fund (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, free and clear of any lien, mortgage, pledge, charge, encumbrance, adverse claim or other security interest (collectively, “Liens”), except to the extent permitted in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and will not have assigned to any person other than the Trust Fund any of its right, title or interest in the Mortgage Notes.

2.1Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Depositor and PHH Mortgage hereby appoint the Agent as their agent to solicit and receive offers to purchase the Certificates for settlement on April 25, 2007 (the “Closing Date”), and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to use reasonable efforts, as your agent and not as principal, to so solicit and receive offers to purchase the Certificates. The Agent further agrees to use reasonable efforts to assist you in connection with the sale of the Certificates to the purchasers thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositor, in its sole discretion, may accept an offer to purchase any of the Certificates on a date after the Closing Date, in which case any such Certificates will be held by PHH Mortgage pending such settlement date.

2.2You are not required to place any specific dollar amount of Certificates, but will use your best efforts to place the Certificates. The termination of the offering is the earlier to occur of one year from the date of this Agreement and the date on which all of the Certificates have been sold. The Depositor reserves the right to terminate your offering of the Certificates pursuant to this Agreement, as to any Certificates for which an offer to purchase that is acceptable to the Depositor in its sole discretion is not obtained by you. In connection with the foregoing, and in accordance with Section 4 hereof and applicable law you will: (a) offer the Certificates to prospective investors; (b) solicit indications of interest to purchase the Certificates; (c) submit pricing and settlement information for each proposed sale to the Depositor, which in each case shall be subject to the Depositor’s approval in its sole discretion; (d) prepare and deliver a confirmation for each sale in your capacity as agent; (e) refrain from using any Written Communications except as permitted by Section 4(d)(1) hereof; and (f) instruct all investors that they must deposit with Citibank, N.A. the amount of their purchase price by wire transfer of immediately available funds, which must be received by Citibank, N.A. no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Closing Date (or, if applicable, on any subsequent settlement date), and that any investor who fails to do so will be subject to fail costs. All settlements for the sale of the Certificates will be made through Citibank, N.A. Each confirmed sale of any of the Certificates by the Depositor to an investor will not be contingent on any other sale. As used herein, the terms “offer” and “sale” have the meanings specified in Section 2(3) of the Act.

The Agent represents and warrants that it has not offered and will not offer any Certificates in any of the EU Member States or in Iceland, Liechenstein or Norway.

The Agent may separately engage, at its own expense and with the prior written approval of the Depositor and PHH Mortgage, such sub-agents as it may deem necessary or appropriate.

2.3The Depositor shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Certificates from it and may reject any such offer in whole or in part. The Agent also shall have the right, in its discretion reasonably exercised and without notice to the Depositor or PHH Mortgage, to reject in whole or in part any offer to purchase Certificates received by it.

2.4The Agent may at any time agree to purchase, as principal, any portion of the Certificates, but has no obligation whatsoever to do so.

Prior to the date hereof, you have not offered, pledged, sold, disposed of or otherwise transferred any Certificate or any security backed by the Mortgage Loans, any interest in any Certificate or such security or any Mortgage Loan.

(b)It is understood that the Agent will solicit offers to purchase the Certificates as follows:

(1) Prior to the time you have received the Definitive Free Writing Prospectus you may, in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, solicit offers to purchase Certificates; provided, that you shall not accept any such offer to purchase a Certificate or any interest in any Certificate or Mortgage Loan or otherwise enter into any Contract of Sale for any Certificate, any interest in any Certificate or any Mortgage Loan prior to the investor’s receipt of the Definitive Free Writing Prospectus.

Any such offer to purchase made by you will not be accepted and will not constitute a contractual commitment by you to purchase any of the Certificates until your offer to purchase Certificates has been accepted. Any offer by you to purchase Certificates will not be accepted, and you will not have any contractual commitment to purchase any of the Certificates until after you have received the Definitive Free Writing Prospectus. You may withdraw your offer to purchase Certificates at any time prior to the acceptance of your offer.

The Certificates referred to in these materials are being sold when, as and if issued. You are advised that Certificates may not be issued that have the characteristics described in these materials. The issuing entity’s obligation to sell such Certificates to you is conditioned on the mortgage loans and certificates having the characteristics described in these materials. If for any reason such Certificates are not delivered, we will notify you, and neither the issuing entity nor any agent or underwriter will have any obligation to you to deliver all or any portion of the Certificates which you have committed to purchase, and none of the issuing entity nor any agent or underwriter will be liable for any costs or damages whatsoever arising from or related to such non-delivery.

(c) It is understood that no investor will enter into a Contract of Sale until the Definitive Free Writing Prospectus has been conveyed to the investor. For purposes of this Agreement, Contract of Sale has the same meaning as in Rule 159 of the 1933 Act Regulations and all Commission guidance relating to Rule 159. The Definitive Free Writing Prospectus shall prominently set forth substantially the following statement:

No information in any Free Writing Prospectus (other than the Definitive Free Writing Prospectus) shall consist of information of a type that is not included within the definition of ABS Informational and Computational Materials, or is not Permitted Additional Materials. To facilitate filing to the extent required by Section 5.9 or 4(f), as applicable, all Agent Derived Information shall be set forth in a document separate from the document including Issuer Information.

In connection therewith, the Agent agrees that it shall not provide any information constituting Issuer Information through the foregoing media unless that information is contained either in the Definitive Free Writing Prospectus or in a Free Writing Prospectus delivered in compliance with Section 4(d)(5).

(e)The Agent covenants with the Depositor that after the final Prospectus is available the Agent shall not distribute any written information concerning the Certificates to a prospective investor unless such information is preceded or accompanied by the final Prospectus.It is understood and agreed that the use of written information in accordance with the preceding sentence is not a Free Writing Prospectus and is not otherwise restricted or governed in any way by this Agreement.

(f)The Agent shall file any Free Writing Prospectus that has been distributed by the Agent in a manner that could lead to its broad, unrestricted dissemination not later than the date of first use, provided that if that Free Writing Prospectus contains only information of a type included within the definition of ABS Informational and Computational Materials then such filing shall be made within the later of two business days after the Agent first provides this information to investors and the date upon which the Depositor is required to file the Prospectus Supplement with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) of the 1933 Act Regulations; provided further, that the Depositor shall not be required to file any Free Writing Prospectus that does not contain substantive changes from or additions to a Free Writing Prospectus previously filed with the Commission.

(g)The Agent further agrees that (i) if the Prospectus is not delivered with the confirmation in reliance on Rule 172, every confirmation sent out will include the notice required by Rule 173 informing the investor that the sale was made pursuant to the Registration Statement and that the investor may request a copy of the Prospectus from the Agent; (ii) if a paper copy of the Prospectus is requested by a person who receives a confirmation, the Agent shall deliver a paper copy of such Prospectus; (iii) if an electronic copy of the Prospectus is delivered by the Agent for any purpose, such copy shall be the same electronic file containing the Prospectus in the identical form transmitted electronically to the Agent by or on behalf of the Depositor specifically for use by the Agent pursuant to this Section 4(g); for example, if the Prospectus is delivered to the Agent by or on behalf of the Depositor in a single electronic file in .pdf format, then the Agent will deliver the electronic copy of the Prospectus in the same single electronic file in .pdf format. The Agent further agrees that (i) if it delivers to an investor the Prospectus in .pdf format, upon the Agent’s receipt of a request from the investor within the period for which delivery of the Prospectus is required, the Agent will promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the investor, without charge, a paper copy of the Prospectus and (ii) it will provide to the Depositor any Free Writing Prospectuses, or portions thereof, which the Depositor is required to file with the Commission in electronic format and will use reasonable efforts to provide to the Depositor such Free Writing Prospectuses, or portions thereof, in either Microsoft Word® or Microsoft Excel® format and not in pdf format, except to the extent that the Depositor, in its sole discretion, waives such requirements.

(h)You further agree that on or prior to the sixth day after the Closing Date, you shall provide the Depositor with such information as to matters of fact as the Depositor may reasonably request to enable it to comply with its tax reporting requirements with respect to each class of Certificates to the extent such information can in the good faith judgment of the Agent be determined by it.

5. Agreements. The Depositor agrees with you that:

5.1Before amending or supplementing the Registration Statement or the Prospectus with respect to the Certificates, the Depositor will furnish you with a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement.

5.2The Depositor will cause the Prospectus to be transmitted to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act by means reasonably calculated to result in filing with the Commission pursuant to said rule.

5.3If, during the period commencing on the first date of the public offering of the Certificates in which a Prospectus relating to the Certificates is required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend the Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Depositor will promptly notify the Agent of such event and will promptly prepare and file with the Commission, at its own expense, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance. Neither the Agent’s consent to, nor the Agent’s delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.

5.4The Depositor will furnish to you, without charge, a copy of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an underwriter, agent or dealer may be required by the Act, as many copies of the Prospectus, any documents incorporated by reference therein and any amendments and supplements thereto as you may reasonably request; provided, however, that you will provide the notice specified in Section 4(g) in every confirmation and will only deliver the prospectus to those investors that request a paper copy thereof.

5.5[reserved]

5.6The Depositor will endeavor to arrange for the qualification of the Certificates for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as you may reasonably designate and in which the Depositor will make offers and sales to residents (except for any jurisdiction as designated by the Depositor in which offers and sales of the Certificates should not be made to non-institutional investors) and will maintain such qualification in effect so long as required for the initial distribution of the Certificates; provided, however, that the Depositor shall not be required to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to general or unlimited service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.

5.7Notwithstanding Section 9 of this Agreement, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, the Depositor or PHH Mortgage will pay or cause to be paid or reimburse you for all expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Depositor and PHH Mortgage under this Agreement, for any reasonable expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by you in connection with qualification of the Certificates for sale and determination of their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as you have reasonably requested pursuant to Section 5.6 above and the printing of memoranda relating thereto, for any fees charged by investment rating agencies for the rating of the Certificates, for expenses incurred in printing and distributing the Prospectus (including any amendments and supplements thereto), for fees and expenses of preparing, printing and reproducing the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (and any amendment or supplement thereto), the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Certificates and the Private Certificates, for fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Master Servicer and their counsel, for the fees and expenses of the accountants to the Depositor and for fees and expenses of filing the Prospectus Supplement and any Free Writing Prospectuses with the Commission. In addition, the Depositor or PHH Mortgage will pay to you the placement fee previously agreed to by the Depositor and the Agent. Except as herein provided, you shall be responsible for paying all costs and expenses incurred by you, including the fees and disbursements of your counsel, in connection with the purchase and sale of the Certificates.

5.8If, during the period after the Closing Date in which a prospectus relating to the Certificates is required to be delivered under the Act, the Depositor receives notice that a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or preventing the offer and sale of the Certificates is in effect, the Depositor will advise you of the issuance of such stop order.

5.9The Depositor shall file any Free Writing Prospectus prepared by the Depositor (including the Definitive Free Writing Prospectus), and any Issuer Information contained in any Free Writing Prospectus provided to it by the Agent under Section 4(d)(5), not later than the date of first use of the Free Writing Prospectus, except that:

(a)As to any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof that contains only (A) a description of the final terms of the Certificates after such terms have been established for all classes of Certificates being publicly offered, may be filed by the Depositor within two days of the later of the date such final terms have been established for all classes of Certificates being publicly offered and the date of first use and (B) a description of the terms of the Certificates that does not reflect the final terms after they have been established for all classes of all Certificates is not required to be filed; and

(b)Notwithstanding clause (a) above, as to any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof required to be filed that contains only information of a type included within the definition of ABS Informational and Computational Materials, the Depositor shall file such Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof within the later of two business days after the Agent first provides this information to investors and the date upon which the Depositor is required to file the Prospectus Supplement with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) of the Act; or

provided further, that prior to such use of any Free Writing Prospectuses by the Depositor, the Agent must comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 4(d) and that the Depositor shall not be required to file any Free Writing Prospectus that does not contain substantive changes from or additions to a Free Writing Prospectus previously filed with the Commission.

5.10If the Depositor or the Agent determines or becomes aware that any Written Communication (including without limitation any Free Writing Prospectus) or oral statement contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading at the time that a Contract of Sale was entered into with any investor, when considered in conjunction with all information conveyed at the time of Contract of Sale, either the Depositor or the Agent may prepare corrective information with notice to the other party, and the Agent shall deliver such information in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Depositor, to any person with whom a Contract of Sale was entered into, and such information shall provide any such person with the following:

(a)adequate disclosure of the contractual arrangement;

(b)adequate disclosure of the person’s rights under the existing Contract of Sale at the time termination is sought;

(c)adequate disclosure of the new information that is necessary to correct the misstatements or omissions in the information given at the time of the original Contract of Sale; and

(d)a meaningful ability to elect to terminate or not terminate the prior Contract of Sale and to elect to enter into or not enter into a new Contract of Sale.

6. Conditions to the Obligations of the Agent. The Agent’s obligation to solicit and receive offers to purchase the Certificates shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Depositor and PHH Mortgage herein, to the accuracy of the statements of officers of the Depositor and PHH Mortgage made pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Depositor and PHH Mortgage of their obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions precedent:

6.2Since April 1, 2007 there shall have been no material adverse change (not in the ordinary course of business) in the condition of the Depositor or PHH Mortgage and prior to the Closing Date there shall be no prospective change that would have a material adverse effect (not in the ordinary course of business) in the condition of the Depositor or PHH Mortgage.

6.3The Depositor shall have delivered to you a certificate, dated the Closing Date, of the President, a Senior Vice President or a Vice President of the Depositor to the effect that the signer of such certificate has examined this Agreement, the Prospectus, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and various other closing documents, and that, to the best of his or her knowledge after reasonable investigation:

The Depositor will furnish you with conformed copies of the above opinions, certificates, letters and documents as you reasonably request.

7.Indemnification and Contribution.

7.1The Depositor and PHH Mortgage, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless you and each person, if any, who controls you within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) that (i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Certificates as originally filed or in any amendment thereof or other filing incorporated by reference therein, or in the Prospectus or incorporated by reference therein (if used within the period set forth in Section 5.3 hereof and as amended or supplemented if the Depositor shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Definitive Free Writing Prospectus, or any Issuer Information contained in any other Free Writing Prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) are caused by any untrue statement of a material fact or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Free Writing Prospectus that was caused by any error in any Pool Information and will reimburse the Agent for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Agent in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Depositor will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission based upon any information with respect to which the Agent has agreed to indemnify the Depositor pursuant to Section 7.2.

7.2You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, PHH Mortgage, their respective directors or officers and any person controlling the Depositor or PHH Mortgage from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) that arise out of or are based upon (i) the Agent Information and the Decrement/Yield Tables, (ii) any Agent Derived Information prepared or used by the Agent, (iii) any Free Writing Prospectus prepared or used by the Agent for which the conditions set forth in Section 4(d)(5) above are not satisfied with respect to the prior approval by the Depositor, (iv) any portion of any Free Writing Prospectus (other than the Definitive Free Writing Prospectus) prepared or used by the Agent not constituting Issuer Information and (v) any liability directly resulting from the Agent’s failure to provide any investor with the Definitive Free Writing Prospectus prior to that investor entering into a Contract of Sale or failure to file any Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed by the Agent in accordance with Section 4(f); provided, however, that the indemnification set forth in this 7.2 shall not apply to the extent of any error in any Free Writing Prospectus that was caused by any error in any Pool Information..

7.3In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either clause 7.1 or 7.2, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm for all such indemnified parties. Such firm shall be designated in writing by you, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to clause 7.1 and by the Depositor or PHH Mortgage, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to clause 7.2. The indemnifying party may, at its option, at any time upon written notice to the indemnified party, assume the defense of any proceeding and may designate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party in connection therewith provided that the counsel so designated would have no actual or potential conflict of interest in connection with such representation. Unless it shall assume the defense of any proceeding the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding, effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the consent of the indemnified party or, if such settlement provides for release of the indemnified party in connection with all matters relating to the proceeding which have been asserted against the indemnified party in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement, without the consent of the indemnified party.

7.4If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to an indemnified party under clause 7.1 or 7.2 hereof or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Depositor and PHH Mortgage on the one hand and the Agent on the other from the offering of the Certificates but also the relative fault of the Depositor or PHH Mortgage on the one hand and of the Agent, on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Depositor and PHH Mortgage on the one hand and the Agent on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Depositor bear to the placement fee received by the Agent. The relative fault of the Depositor and PHH Mortgage on the one hand and of the Agent on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Depositor or by the Agent, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.4, the Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the placement fee received by the Agent in connection with the Certificates.

7.5The Depositor, PHH Mortgage and the Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the considerations referred to in Section 7.4, above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim except where the indemnified party is required to bear such expenses pursuant to Section 7.4; which expenses the indemnifying party shall pay as and when incurred, at the request of the indemnified party, to the extent that the indemnifying party believes that it will be ultimately obligated to pay such expenses. In the event that any expenses so paid by the indemnifying party are subsequently determined to not be required to be borne by the indemnifying party hereunder, the party which received such payment shall promptly refund the amount so paid to the party which made such payment. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

7.6The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 and the representations and warranties of the Depositor and PHH Mortgage in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Agent or on behalf of the Agent or any person controlling the Agent or by or on behalf of the Depositor and its respective directors or officers or any person controlling the Depositor and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Certificates.

8.Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination by notice given to the Depositor, (A) if (i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or materially limited or any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange shall have been instituted, (ii) any banking moratorium shall have been declared by either federal or New York authorities, or (iii) there shall have occurred any material outbreak, escalation or declaration of hostilities or other calamity, emergency or crisis, the effect of which on the financial markets of the United States is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Agent, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the public offering of or the sale of and payment for the Certificates or (B) if the sale of the Certificates provided for herein is not consummated because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Depositor or PHH Mortgage to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Depositor or PHH Mortgage shall be unable to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement. If you terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 8, the Depositor or PHH Mortgage will reimburse you for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been reasonably incurred by the Agent in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Certificates.

9.Certain Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Depositor, PHH Mortgage or the respective officers of the Depositor or PHH Mortgage, and you set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by you or on your behalf or made by or on behalf of the Depositor or any of its officers, directors or controlling persons, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Certificates.

10.Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Agent will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to you at William J. Mayer Securities, LLC, 60 Arch Street, Greenwich, CT 06830, Attention: Mr. William Johnson Mayer, Principal; if sent to the Depositor, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to it at PHH Mortgage Capital LLC, 3000 Leadenhall Road, Mail Stop LGL, Mt.

11.Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and their successors and assigns, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

12.Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

13.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

FOOTNOTE 271 INFORMATION

[Excerpt from Offering Reform adopting release-bold headings added for convenience of reference]

In the case of asset-backed issuers certain information comprehended within the definition of ABS informational and computational material is analogous to the term of securities and is therefore issuer information. For example, we would expect that the following categories of such material, which are derived from the definition of ABS informational and computational materials, are generally issuer information:

(1)Structural information-factual information regarding the asset-backed securities being offered and the structure and basic parameters of the securities, such as the number of classes, seniority, payment priorities, terms of payment, the tax, ERISA or other legal conclusions of counsel, and descriptive information relating to each class (e.g., principal amount, coupon, minimum denomination, price or anticipated price, yield, weighted average life, credit enhancements, anticipated ratings, and other similar information relating to the proposed structure of the offering);

(2)Collateral information-factual information regarding the pool assets underlying the asset-backed securities, including origination, acquisition and pool selection criteria, information regarding any prefunding or revolving period applicable to the offering, information regarding significant obligors, data regarding the contractual and related characteristics of the underlying pool assets (e.g., weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, delinquency and loss information and geographic distribution) and other factual information concerning the parameters of the asset pool appropriate to the nature of the underlying assets, such as the type of assets comprising the pool and the programs under which the loans were originated;

(3)Key parties information-identification of key parties to the transaction, such as servicers, trustees, depositors, sponsors, originators and providers of credit enhancement or other support, including information about any such party;

(4)Static pool data-static pool data, as referenced in Item 1105 of Regulation AB 17 CFR 229.1105, such as for the sponsor’s and/or servicer’s portfolio, prior transactions or the asset pool itself; and

(5)Issuer computational material-to the extent that the information is provided by the issuer, depositor, affiliated depositor, or sponsor, statistical information displaying for a particular class of asset-backed securities the yield, average life, expected maturity, interest rate sensitivity, cash flow characteristics, total rate of return, option adjusted spread or other financial or statistical information related to the class or classes under specified prepayment, interest rate, loss or other hypothetical scenarios. (Where such information is prepared by an underwriter or dealer, it is not issuer information, even when derived from issuer information.)
