(iii)

(iv)
an original or a certified copy of any intervening assignment of Mortgage showing a complete chain of assignments;
 
 
(v)

The Sponsor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian promptly upon receipt thereof any other documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.
 
Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the Sponsor shall have 120 days to cure such defect or 150 days following the Closing Date, in the case of missing Mortgages or Assignments or deliver such missing document to the Trustee or the Custodian.

In the event that any Assignments of Mortgage are not recorded or are improperly recorded, neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall have any liability for its failure to receive or act on notices not received related to such Assignment of Mortgage.
 
In the event that any Mortgage Note is endorsed in blank as of the Closing Date, promptly following the Closing Date the Servicer shall cause to be completed such endorsements in the following form: “Pay to the order of U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for the C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2007-CB3, without recourse.”
 
The Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee executed copies of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
 
The parties hereto understand and agree that it is not intended that any Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust that is a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined by the Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or any other applicable predatory or abusive lending laws.
 
The Sponsor hereby directs the Trustee, solely as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee and not in its individual capacity, to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement. The Depositor, the Sponsor, the Servicer and the Holders of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates by their acceptance of such Certificates acknowledge and agree that (i) the Trustee shall execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and shall do so solely in its capacity as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, and not in its individual capacity, and (ii) the Trustee shall have no responsibility for the contents, adequacy or sufficiency of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, including, without limitation, any covenants, representations and warranties contained therein. Any funds payable by the Supplemental Interest Trust or Party B under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement at closing shall be paid by the Sponsor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall be required to make any payments to the Swap Provider under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement except to the extent amounts are available therefor in the Swap Account in accordance with this Agreement. Every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall apply to the Trustee’s execution of and performance of any obligations under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement in its capacity as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee.
 
Section 2.02
Acceptance by the Trustee.
 
The Trustee acknowledges the receipt by the Custodian on its behalf, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to the review described below and any exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph below, the documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and all other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” and declares that the Custodian on behalf of the Trust holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, and that the Custodian on behalf of the Trust holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
 
The Trustee agrees to cause the Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement to execute and deliver to the Depositor on or prior to the Closing Date an acknowledgment of receipt of the original Mortgage Note (with any exceptions noted), substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F-3 hereto.
 
The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to review (or cause the Custodian to review pursuant to the Custodial Agreement) each Mortgage File within 60 days after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any document delivered after the Startup Day, within 60 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage, within 60 days after the assignment thereof) and to certify (or cause the Custodian to certify) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1 that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been mutilated, damaged or torn and relate to such Mortgage Loan, (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (1), (2), (3), (5), (13) and (22) (but only as to whether the Mortgage Loan has a Prepayment Charge) of the Mortgage Loan Schedule accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File, (iv) all Assignments of Mortgage or intervening assignments of mortgage, as applicable, have been submitted for recording and (v) each Mortgage Note has been endorsed as provided in Section 2.01(i) of this Agreement and each Mortgage has been assigned in accordance with Section 2.01(iii) of this Agreement. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Custodian is under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
 
Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement the Trustee shall deliver (or cause the Custodian to deliver) to the Depositor and the Servicer a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-2 evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
 
If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the Trustee (or the Custodian, as applicable) finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective in any material respect, at the conclusion of its review the Trustee, upon its notification by the Custodian, if applicable, shall so notify the Sponsor, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the Sponsor, Depositor, the Trustee or the Servicer (or upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such breach) of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Sponsor in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.
 
The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans and the Related Documents, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee and that such property not be part of the Depositor’s estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any insolvency by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be, or to be made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and the Related Documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
 
Section 2.03
Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Sponsor.
 
(a)  Upon discovery or receipt from the Custodian of written notice of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or receipt from the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Servicer or the Custodian of written notice of the breach by the Sponsor of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or in Section 2.04 in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee (or the Custodian, as applicable) shall promptly notify the Sponsor and the Servicer of such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Sponsor deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach within 120 days or 150 days following the Closing Date, in the case of missing Mortgages or Assignments from the date the Sponsor was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Sponsor does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the Sponsor’s obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and inform the Sponsor of its obligation to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on or prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of such 120 day period (subject to Section 2.03(e)); provided that, in connection with any such breach that could not reasonably have been cured within such 120 day or 150 day period, if the Sponsor shall have commenced to cure such breach within such 120 day or 150 day period, the Sponsor shall be permitted to proceed thereafter diligently and expeditiously to cure the same within the additional period provided under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release to the Sponsor the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as the Sponsor shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Sponsor any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall have any further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, the Sponsor may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a Defective Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Sponsor to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the Sponsor respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
 
(b)  [Reserved].
 
(c)  Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt of notice by the Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.
 
(d)  Any substitution of Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for Defective Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected prior to the last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to any Defective Mortgage Loan for which the Sponsor substitutes an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Sponsor delivering to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, for such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing that each such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The Trustee shall acknowledge (or cause the Custodian to acknowledge) receipt for such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter, shall review (or cause the Custodian to review) such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver (or cause the Custodian to deliver) to the Servicer, with respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the Trustee shall deliver (or cause the Custodian to deliver) to the Servicer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto with respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Sponsor. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the collections and recoveries in respect of such Defective Mortgage Loan in the Collection Period preceding the month of substitution and the Depositor or the Sponsor, as the case may be, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Defective Mortgage Loan. The Sponsor shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Defective Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the Custodian. Upon such substitution, such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and, in the case of a substitution effected by the Sponsor, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, in the case of a substitution effected by the Sponsor all applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and all applicable representations and warranties thereof set forth in Section 2.04, in each case as of the date of substitution.
 
For any month in which the Sponsor substitutes one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Defective Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (the “Substitution Adjustment Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Defective Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate, as to each such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, of the principal balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one month’s interest on such principal balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Interest Rate. On the date of such substitution, the Sponsor will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, and upon receipt by the Trustee or the Custodian of the related Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by the Servicer of such deposit, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release to the Sponsor the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as the Sponsor shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Defective Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
 
In addition, the Sponsor shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section 860F(a)(l) of the Code or on “contributions after the startup date” under Section 860G(d)(l) of the Code, or (b) any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. If such Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered, then such substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be given.
 
(e)  Upon discovery by the Sponsor, the Servicer or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Sponsor shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d), substitute one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. In addition, upon discovery that a Mortgage Loan is defective in a manner that would cause it to be a “defective obligation” within the meaning of Treasury regulations relating to REMICs, the Sponsor shall cure the defect or make the required purchase or substitution no later than 90 days after the discovery of the defect. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a), if made by the Sponsor. The Trustee shall reconvey to the Sponsor the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto acknowledge that any functions of the Trustee with respect to the custody, acceptance, inspection and release of the Mortgage Files pursuant to Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03 and preparation and delivery of any acknowledgment of receipt or certification (including, without limitation, the certifications in the form of Exhibit F-1, Exhibit F-2 and Exhibit F-3) shall be performed by the Custodian pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Custodial Agreement. The fees and expenses of the Custodian shall be paid by the Servicer.
 
Section 2.04
Representations and Warranties of the Sponsor with Respect to the Mortgage Loans.
 
The Sponsor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Depositor that as of the Closing Date or as of such other date specifically provided herein:
 
(a)  The representations and warranties made by the Sponsor pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement are hereby being made to the Trustee and are true and correct as of the Closing Date.
 
(b)  Any written agreement between the Mortgagor in respect of a Mortgage Loan and the Servicer modifying such Mortgagor’s obligation to make payments under the Mortgage Loan (such modified Mortgage Loan, a “Modified Mortgage Loan”) involved the application of the Sponsor’s underwriting standards or some assessment of the Mortgagor’s ability to repay the Modified Mortgage Loan.
 
With respect to the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 that are made to the best of the Sponsor’s knowledge or as to which the Sponsor has no knowledge, if it is discovered by the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders then, notwithstanding the Sponsor’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation or warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty.

Section 3.01
Servicer to Act as Servicer.
 
The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and the normal and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement (the “Servicing Standards”).
 
Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Certificateholders; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not make future advances and (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would (i) change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment thereof of any principal or interest payments, reduce the outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of principal) or extend the final maturity date with respect to such Mortgage Loan, (ii) affect adversely the status of any REMIC as a REMIC or (iii) cause any REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would both (x) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1.860G-2(b) of the Treasury Regulations and (y) cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of itself, and the Trustee, 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 Property. The Servicer shall make all required Servicing Advances and shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Applicable Regulations, and shall provide to the Mortgagor any reports required to be provided to them thereby. If reasonably required by the Servicer, the Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with a power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit P hereto and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement and the Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any misuse of such power of attorney and shall be indemnified by the Servicer for any costs, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection therewith. In connection with any modification pursuant to this Section 3.01, to the extent there are any unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances, the Servicer shall reimburse itself for such amounts from the Collection Account.
 
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer shall be prohibited from foreclosing on any Mortgage Loan based on the delinquency status thereof as of the Cut-off Date.
 
In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer 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 mortgage servicing practices of prudent lending institutions and the Certificateholders’ reliance on the Servicer.
 
The Servicer shall give prompt notice to the Trustee of any action, of which the Servicer has actual knowledge, which action purports to (i) assert a claim against the Trust Fund or (ii) assert jurisdiction over the Trust Fund.
 
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Principal Prepayment in full of a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer may not waive any Prepayment Charge or portion thereof required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note unless (i) the Servicer determines that such waiver would maximize recovery of Liquidation Proceeds for such Mortgage Loan, taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge, (ii) (A) the enforceability thereof is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, or other similar law relating to creditors’ rights generally or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, or (B) the enforceability is otherwise limited or prohibited by applicable law or (iii) the Servicer has not been provided with information sufficient to enable it to collect the Prepayment Charge. In the event of a Principal Prepayment in full with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit N no later than the date on which the Servicer delivers the Remittance Report to the Trustee and the Trustee will make such Officer’s Certificate available on its website to the Class P Certificateholders in the same manner as Monthly Statements pursuant to Section 4.06. If the Servicer has waived or does not collect all or a portion of a Prepayment Charge relating to a Principal Prepayment in full due to any action or omission of the Servicer, other than as provided above, the Servicer shall, as soon as possible after the date such Principal Prepayment in full is made, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days from such date, deliver to the Trustee the amount of such Prepayment Charge (or such portion thereof as had been waived for deposit) into the Distribution Account for distribution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
The Trustee shall make available on its website to the Depositor and the owner of the Class P Certificates, on a monthly basis in the same manner as Monthly Statements pursuant to Section 4.06, a statement setting forth the amounts received with respect to Prepayment Charges.
 
Section 3.02
Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.
 
Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Servicer will diligently collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and Applicable Regulations, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Further, the Servicer will take special care in ascertaining and estimating taxes, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable to that end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.
 
Section 3.03
Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
 
In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take such action as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders, including foreclosing on any such Mortgage Loan or working out an agreement with the Mortgagor, which may involve waiving or modifying certain terms of the Mortgage Loan. In addition, the Servicer may write-off any second lien Mortgage Loan that is delinquent by 180 days or more. With respect to any defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall have the right to review the status of the related forbearance plan and, subject to the second paragraph of Section 3.01, may modify such forbearance plan; including, extending the Mortgage Loan repayment date for a period of one year or reducing the Mortgage Interest Rate.
 
In connection with a foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it hereunder and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as prudent mortgage servicers would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of their own affairs and consistent with Applicable Regulations and the servicing standards set forth in the Fannie Mae Guide, including, without limitation, advancing funds for the payment of taxes and insurance premiums with respect to first lien Mortgage Loans.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall not 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 Trust Fund would be considered to hold title to, to be a mortgagee-in-possession of, or to be an owner or operator of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a prudent report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards, that:
 
A. such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders to take such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and
 
B. 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 Certificateholders to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.
 
The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.03 shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(a)(ii).
 
If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders. The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(a)(ii).
 
Section 3.04
Collection Account and Distribution Account.
 
(a)  The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Collection Accounts. Each Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account.
 
The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account on a daily basis within two Business Days of receipt, and retain therein, the following payments and collections received or made by it after the Cut-off Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans:
 
(i)  all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;
 
(ii)  all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the Mortgage Interest Rate less the Servicing Fee Rate;
 
(iii)  all proceeds from a Final Recovery Determination;
 
(iv)  all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.10, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;
 
(v)  all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;
 
(vi)  all Subsequent Recoveries; and
 
(vii)  any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer in connection with any REO Property pursuant to Section 3.13.
 
provided, however, the Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account on a daily basis within two Business Days after determining the proper application of funds that were improperly marked but would otherwise constitute payments or collections pursuant to subclauses (i) through (vii) above. For the avoidance of doubt, returned checks are not funds received by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.04(a).
 
Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Collection Account, subject to Section 3.25, shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer and the Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v). The foregoing requirements for deposit from 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, prepayment charges that are not Prepayment Charges, and assumption fees need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account.
 
(b)  On behalf of the Trust Fund and the Trustee, the Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution Account by the close of business New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available Funds (calculated without regard to the references in the definition thereof to amounts that may be deposited to the Distribution Account from a different source as provided herein) then on deposit in the Collection Account. Funds in the Distribution Account shall be held uninvested.
 
(c)  Funds in the Collection Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.25. The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to the Servicer and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account when established and prior to any change thereof.
 
(d)  In the event the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time, in writing pursuant to a certificate of a Servicing Officer, request that the Trustee withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to the Servicer any such amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee from time to time for deposit, and the Trustee shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account in respect of REMIC 1:
 
(i)  any Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.07;
 
(ii)  any Stayed Funds, as soon as permitted by the federal bankruptcy court having jurisdiction in such matters;
 
(iii)  any Prepayment Charges or amounts in connection with the waiver of such Prepayment Charges, in each case required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.01;
 
(iv)  any amounts required to be deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to Sections 2.03, 3.04, 3.15, 3.16, 3.23 or 4.07; and
 
(v)  any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy, such deposit being made from the Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor.
 
(e)  Promptly upon receipt of any Stayed Funds, whether from the Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy, or federal bankruptcy court or other source, the Trustee shall notify the Servicer of such receipt and deposit such funds in the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal thereof as permitted hereunder.
 
Section 3.05
Permitted Withdrawals From the Collection Account and the Distribution Account.
 
(a)  The Servicer may, from time to time, withdraw from the Collection Account for the following purposes:
 
(i)  to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account the amounts required to be so remitted pursuant to Section 3.04(b) or permitted to be so remitted pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.04(d);
 
(ii)  to reimburse itself for (x) Advances and Servicing Advances; the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent payments of (a) principal and/or interest respecting which any such Advance was made or (b) Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds respecting which any such Servicing Advance was made or (y) any unreimbursed Advances made pursuant to Section 4.07(b) to the extent of funds held in the Collection Account for future distribution that were not included in Available Funds for the preceding Distribution Date;
 
(iii)  to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, any unpaid Servicing Fees and for unreimbursed Advances to the extent that such amounts are deemed to be Nonrecoverable Advances, to reimburse itself for such amounts to the extent that such amounts are nonrecoverable from the disposition of REO Property pursuant to Section 3.03 or Section 3.13 hereof and to reimburse itself for such amounts to the extent that such Advances or Servicing Advances have not been reimbursed at the time a Mortgage Loan has been modified;
 
(iv)  to reimburse itself for any amounts paid pursuant to Section 3.03 (and not otherwise previously reimbursed);
 
(v)  to pay to itself as servicing compensation (a) any interest earned on funds in the Collection Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Servicer Remittance Date) and (b) the Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery as to interest to a particular Mortgage Loan to the extent not retained pursuant to Section 3.04(ii);
 
(vi)  to pay or reimburse itself or any other party for any amounts payable or paid pursuant to Section 3.26 or Section 6.03 (and not otherwise previously reimbursed); and
 
(vii)  to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon the termination of this Agreement.
 
The foregoing requirements for withdrawal from the Collection Account shall be exclusive. 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)  The Trustee shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Distribution Account, for any of the following purposes, without priority:
 
(i)  to make distributions to Certificateholders in accordance with Section 4.01;
 
(ii)  to pay to itself any interest income earned on funds deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.25(b);
 
(iii)  to pay or reimburse the Trustee any amounts pursuant to this Agreement (other than for Trustee Fees), including, without limitation, Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 8.05;
 
(iv)  to pay any expenses of the Trust as permitted in this Agreement;
 
(v)  to reimburse the Trustee, in its capacity as successor Servicer, for any Advance made by it under Section 7.01 (to the extent not reimbursed pursuant to 3.05(a)(ii);
 
(vi)  to make deposits into the Swap Account in accordance with Section 4.09(b); and
 
(vii)  to clear and terminate the Distribution Account upon the termination of this Agreement.
 
Section 3.06
Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts.
 
The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts. A copy of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Trustee upon request. The Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account.
 
The Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis within two Business Days of receipt, and retain therein, (i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property, provided, however, the Servicer shall deposit such amounts within two Business Days after determining the proper application of funds that were improperly marked but would otherwise constitute funds pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, returned checks are not funds received by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.06. The Servicer shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be set forth in, or in accordance with, Section 3.07. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, the Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.
 
Section 3.07
Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.
 
Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Servicer (i) to effect timely payments of taxes, fire, flood and hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items, (ii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by the Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or Late Collections of Escrow Payments thereunder, (iii) to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages, (iv) for transfer to the Collection Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property, (vi) to pay to the Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, (vii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement or (viii) to transfer to the Collection Account any insurance proceeds. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagor interest on funds in the Escrow Account, to the extent required by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, and to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient, shall pay such interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.
 
In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Escrow Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
 
Section 3.08
Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Collections There-under.
 
With respect to each first lien Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of taxes and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and fire, flood and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or Applicable Regulations. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer (i) shall determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien and (ii) shall ensure that all insurance required to be maintained on the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Agreement is maintained. If any such payment has not been made and the Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with respect to the Mortgage Loan being imposed, the Servicer will, to the extent required to avoid loss of the Mortgaged Property, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the payment of all such bills 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 Servicing Advances from its own funds to effect such payments.
 
Section 3.09
Transfer of Accounts.
 
The Servicer may transfer the Collection Account or the Escrow Account to a different depository institution from time to time. Upon such transfer, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor, a certification or letter agreement, as the case may be, as required pursuant to Sections 3.04 and 3.06.
 
Section 3.10
Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.
 
The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each first lien Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements which are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis or (ii) the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood 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 meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. The Servicer shall also maintain on the REO Property for the benefit of the Certificateholders, (x) fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the replacement cost of the improvements which are a part of such property, (y) public liability insurance and, (z) to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures, shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is required to be maintained by the Servicer or the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such Applicable Regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount of or material change in coverage to the Servicer. The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies currently reflect a general policy rating of B:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the property subject to the policy is located.
 
Section 3.11
Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.
 
In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by an insurer that has a general policy rating of B:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 3.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 3.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 3.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 3.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, which amount shall not be reimbursable to the Servicer from the Trust Fund. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Trustee, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Trustee, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that the surety and the insurer shall endeavor to notify the Trustee within thirty (30) days prior to such policy’s termination or material modification.
 
Section 3.12
Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.
 
The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond (the “Fidelity Bond”) and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with financially responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. The Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such Fidelity Bond shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 3.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Fannie Mae in the Fannie Mae MBS Selling and Servicing Guide or by Freddie Mac in the Freddie Mac Servicer’s Guide. Upon the request of any party hereto, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to such party proof of coverage of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and a statement from the surety and insurer that the surety and insurer shall endeavor to notify the Trustee within 30 days prior to such Fidelity Bond’s and errors and omissions insurance policy’s termination or material modification. In the absence of notice from the surety, insurer or Servicer of such termination or material modification, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to take any action to determine whether or not such Fidelity Bond or errors and omission policy has been terminated or materially modified.
 
Section 3.13
Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.
 
(a)  In the event that title to a Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken (pursuant to a limited power of attorney to be provided by the Trustee to the Servicer) in the name of the Trustee or a nominee thereof (which nominee shall not be the Servicer), on behalf of the Certificateholders, or in the event the Trustee or a nominee thereof is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Servicer from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Trustee. The Trustee’s name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references this Agreement and the Trustee’s capacity hereunder.
 
(b)  In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property before the end of the third calendar year beginning after the year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or, at the expense of the Trust Fund, request from the Internal Revenue Service, more than 60 days before the day on which the above-mentioned grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of the above-mentioned grace period, unless the Servicer obtains an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Servicer and the Trustee, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to such period will not: (i) result in the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F of the Code; or (ii) cause any REMIC constituting any part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such REO Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel). The Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account for any costs incurred in obtaining such Opinion of Counsel, as provided in Section 3.05.
 
Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force, and notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would: (i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code; or (ii) subject any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the income earned from such REO Property, including any taxes imposed by reason of Sections 860F or 860G(c) of the Code, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
 
The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders and the Trust Fund solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by the related 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” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions. 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 a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage Servicing File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the Trustee upon request. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the Trust Fund.
 
With respect to each REO Property, the Servicer shall account separately for each REO Property with respect to all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of such REO Property.
 
The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis, within two Business Days of receipt, in the Collection Account, all revenues received with respect to each REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the related REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Servicer, provided, however, the Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account on a daily basis within two Business Days after determining the proper application of funds that were improperly marked but would otherwise constitute revenue received with respect to each REO Property. For the avoidance of doubt, returned checks are not funds received by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.13(b).
 
The Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee, on each Servicer Remittance Date, an operating statement for each REO Property covering the operation of each REO Property for the previous month. Such operating statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Trustee shall reasonably request.
 
The Servicer shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as promptly as is practically consistent with protecting the Certificateholders’ interests.
 
Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders. If as of the date title to any REO Property was acquired by the Servicer there were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to the REO Property, the Servicer, 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. The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any payment to the Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Collection Account for distribution on the succeeding Servicer Remittance Date in accordance with Section 4.01 and Section 4.02.
 
Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration and an Opinion of Counsel is obtained by the Servicer to the effect that such sale shall not cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC).
 
Section 3.14
Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption and Substitution Agreements.
 
When a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance or prospective conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan under any “due-on-sale” clause contained in the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such right if the “due-on-sale” clause, in the reasonable belief of the Servicer, is not enforceable under applicable law. An Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the Servicer (which expense shall constitute a Servicing Advance) delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor to the foregoing effect shall conclusively establish the reasonableness of such belief. In such event, the Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to enter into an assumption and modification agreement with the Person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable law or the Mortgage, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. If the foregoing is not permitted under applicable law, the Servicer is 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 Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Note. The Mortgage Loan, as assumed, shall conform in all respects to the requirements, representations and warranties of this Agreement. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) the original copy of such assumption or substitution agreement (indicating the Mortgage File to which it relates) which copy shall be added by the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) to the related Mortgage File and which 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. The Servicer shall be responsible for recording any such assumption or substitution agreements. In connection with any such assumption or substitution agreement, the Monthly Payment on the related Mortgage Loan shall not be changed but shall remain as in effect immediately prior to the assumption or substitution, the stated maturity or outstanding principal amount of such Mortgage Loan shall not be changed nor shall any required monthly payments of principal or interest be deferred or forgiven. Any fee collected by the Servicer for consenting to any such conveyance or entering into an assumption or substitution agreement shall be retained by or paid to the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
 
Section 3.15
Notification of Adjustments.
 
On each Adjustment Date, the Servicer shall make Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments for each Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Rate Loan in compliance with the requirements of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note and Applicable Regulations. The Servicer shall execute and deliver the notices required by each Mortgage and Mortgage Note and Applicable Regulations regarding Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments. The Servicer also shall provide timely notification to the Trustee of all applicable data and information regarding such Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments and the Servicer’s methods of implementing such Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Servicer or the Trustee that the Servicer has failed to adjust or has incorrectly adjusted a Mortgage Interest Rate or a Monthly Payment pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss caused thereby without reimbursement therefor; provided, however, the Servicer shall be held harmless with respect to any Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments made by any servicer prior to the Servicer. Under no circumstances shall the Trustee be responsible for monitoring or recalculating any Mortgage Rate Interest Adjustments by the Servicer.
 
Section 3.16
Optional Purchases of Mortgage Loans by Servicer.
 
The Servicer (or an affiliate of the Servicer) may, at its option, repurchase a Mortgage Loan or REO Property which becomes 120 or more days Delinquent or for which the Servicer has accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure, during the period commencing on the first day of the calendar quarter succeeding the calendar quarter in which the Initial Delinquency Date occurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan and ending on the last Business Day of such calendar quarter. If the Servicer (or an affiliate of the Servicer) does not exercise its purchase right with respect to a Mortgage Loan during the period specified in the preceding sentence, such Mortgage Loan shall thereafter again become eligible for purchase pursuant to the preceding sentence only after the Mortgage Loan ceases to be 120 days or more Delinquent and thereafter becomes 120 days Delinquent again. The “Initial Delinquency Date” of a Mortgage Loan shall mean the date on which the Mortgage Loan first became 120 days Delinquent. Prior to repurchase pursuant to this Section 3.16, the Servicer shall be required to continue to make monthly advances pursuant to Section 4.07. The Servicer shall not use any procedure in selecting Mortgage Loans to be repurchased which is materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders. The Servicer shall purchase such (i) delinquent Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan plus accrued interest thereon at the Mortgage Interest Rate from the date to which interest has last been paid to the Trust Fund to the date of purchase plus any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances or (ii) REO Property at its fair market value as determined in good faith by the Servicer. Any such repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or REO Property pursuant to this Section 3.16 shall be accomplished by delivery to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account of the amount of the purchase price. The Trustee shall immediately effectuate the conveyance of such delinquent Mortgage Loan or REO Property to the Servicer to the extent necessary, including the prompt delivery of all documentation to the Servicer, without recourse.
 
Section 3.17
Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Files.
 
(a)  Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan (including any liquidation of such Mortgage Loan through foreclosure or otherwise, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes), the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee (or the Custodian as the case may be) two executed copies of a completed “Request for Release” in the form of Exhibit E. Upon receipt of such Request for Release of Documents, the Trustee (or the Custodian as the case may be) shall promptly release the related Mortgage File, in trust to (i) the Servicer, or (ii) such other party identified in the related Request for Release. Upon any such payment in full, or the receipt of such notification that such funds have been placed in escrow, the Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing to execute an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of Mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property relating to such Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of payment in full, it being understood and agreed that no expense incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Collection Account. In lieu of executing any such satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, the Servicer may prepare and submit to the Trustee a satisfaction (or assignment without recourse, if requested by the Person or Persons entitled thereto) in form for execution by the Trustee with all requisite information completed by the Servicer; in such event, the Trustee shall execute and acknowledge such satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, and deliver the same with the related Mortgage File, as aforesaid.
 
(b)  From time to time and as appropriate in the servicing of any Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, foreclosure or other comparable conversion of a Mortgage Loan or collection under any insurance policy relating to a Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall (except in the case of the payment or liquidation pursuant to which the related Mortgage File is released to an escrow agent or an employee, agent or attorney of the Trustee), upon written request of the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) of two executed copies of a “Request for Release” in the form of Exhibit E signed by a Servicing Officer, release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer and shall execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings, including, without limitation, an assignment without recourse, representation or warranty of the related Mortgage to the Servicer. Such receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a Request for Release evidencing such liquidation, the receipt shall be released by the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) to the Servicer.
 
(c)  Subject to Section 3.01, the Servicer shall have the right to accept applications of Mortgagors for consent to (i) partial releases of Mortgages, (ii) alterations, (iii) removal, demolition or division of properties subject to Mortgages and (iv) second mortgage subordination agreements. No application for approval shall be considered by the Servicer unless: (w) it has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund) that such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution will not affect adversely the status of any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund as a REMIC or cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions; (x) the provisions of the related Note and Mortgage have been complied with; (y) the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio and debt-to-income ratio after any release does not exceed the maximum Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio and debt-to-income ratio established in accordance with the underwriting standards of the Mortgage Loans; and (z) the lien priority of the related Mortgage is not affected. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Servicing Officer’s certificate setting forth the action proposed to be taken in respect of a particular Mortgage Loan and certifying that the criteria set forth in the immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer the consent or partial release so requested by the Servicer. A proposed form of consent or partial release, as the case may be, shall accompany any Servicing Officer’s certificate delivered by the Servicer pursuant to this paragraph.
 
Section 3.18
Servicing Compensation.
 
As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain the amount of the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan (including REO Properties). The Servicer shall be entitled to retain additional servicing compensation in the form of release fees, bad check charges, assumption fees, modification or extension fees, late payment charges, customary real estate referral fees or any other service-related fees, Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds not required to be deposited in the Collection Account and similar items, to the extent collected from Mortgagors.
 
Section 3.19

(a)  The Servicer, at its own expense, will deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor, not later than March 15th of each year commencing in 2008, a Servicing Officer’s certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit R-2, stating, as to each signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during such preceding calendar year (or such shorter period in the case of the first such report) and of performance of such servicer under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement for such year, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.
 
(b)  Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and its receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable, from information contained therein, including the Servicer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).
 
(c)  The Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Depositor, the Trustee and each Person, if any, who “controls” the Depositor or the Trustee within the meaning of the Securities Act and their respective officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such Person actually sustains out of third party claims based on the failure of the Servicer or any related Sub-Servicer to deliver or cause to be delivered when required any Annual Statement of Compliance pursuant to this Section 3.19.

Section 3.22
Periodic Filings.
 
(a)  The Trustee will prepare and file Current Reports on Form 8-K in respect of the Trust at the direction and expense of the Depositor, provided, that, as set forth on Exhibit S, the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer shall have timely notified the Trustee of an item reportable on a Form 8-K and shall have delivered to the Trustee no later than three Business Days prior to the filing deadline for such Form 8-K, all information, data, and exhibits required to be provided or filed with such Form 8-K in electronic or other such other format reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. To the extent that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of an event relating to Items 3.03, 6.02, 6.03 or 6.04 of Form 8-K, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor of such event. The Trustee shall not be responsible for determining what information is required to be filed on a Form 8-K in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or what events shall cause a Form 8-K to be required to be filed and shall not be liable for any late filing of a Form 8-K in the event that it does not receive all information, data, signatures and exhibits required to be provided or filed on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the applicable filing deadline. Within 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, on behalf of the Trust and in accordance with industry standards, file with the Securities and Exchange Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”), a Form 10-D (or other comparable form containing the same or comparable information or other information mutually agreed upon) with, as set forth on Exhibit T, (1) a copy of the report to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto and (2) such other information provided to the Trustee as identified on Exhibit T; provided that such information is provided to the Trustee no later than the first Business Day immediately following the related Distribution Date. Prior to March 31, 2008 (and, if applicable, prior to March 31 of each subsequent year) (the “Form 10-K Filing Deadline”), the Trustee shall, on behalf of the Trust and in accordance with industry standards, prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission via EDGAR a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund. To facilitate the Trustee’s preparation of the Form 10-K, the Trustee shall provide to the Depositor its proposed Form 10-K template no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the Form 10-K Filing Deadline and the Depositor shall review such template and provide to the Trustee, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Form 10-K Filing Deadline, any comments to such Form 10-K template. As set forth on Exhibit U, such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits, each annual statement of compliance required to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.19 and each Accountant’s Attestation and Assessment of Compliance required to be furnished pursuant to Section 3.20, in each case to the extent they have been timely delivered to the Trustee (or the Depositor, in the case of the Trustee’s Assessment of Compliance) and such other information as is required by Regulation AB. The Servicer will cause its senior officer in charge of securitization to execute the certification, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O-1 (the “Form 10-K Certification”) required pursuant to Rule 13a -14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Trustee shall file the same with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the Form 10-K Filing Deadline. In connection therewith, the Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O-2) for the benefit of the Depositor and the Servicer and their officers, directors and affiliates regarding certain aspects of the Form 10-K Certification (the “Trustee’s Certification”). To the extent any information or exhibits required to be included in the Form 10-K are not timely received by the Trustee prior to the Form 10-K Filing Deadline, the Trustee shall, on behalf of the Trust, file one or more amended Form 10-Ks to include such missing information or exhibits promptly after receipt thereof by the Trustee. Promptly following the first date legally permissible under applicable regulations and interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Trustee shall, on behalf of the Trust and in accordance with industry standards, file with the Securities and Exchange Commission via EDGAR a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust Fund, if applicable. The Servicer agrees to furnish to the Trustee promptly, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Upon the preparation of each Form 10-D filing by the Trustee, such Form 10-D filing shall be submitted to the Depositor. Upon receipt of written notice to the Trustee via electronic mail to michael.bengtson@usbank.com, with a copy to sheryl.christopherson@usbank.com, and from the Depositor that the Form 10-D is ready for filing, the Trustee shall attach to any Form 10-D the signature page of the Depositor and submit such Form 10-D for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Trustee shall provide a copy of each Form 10-D and Form 8-K to each of the Servicer and the Depositor. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to file any items with the Securities and Exchange Commission other than those specified in this section and the Servicer shall execute any and all Form 10-Ks and the Depositor shall execute any and all Form 8-Ks and 10-Ds required hereunder. All materials provided to the Trustee relating to the Form 8-Ks, 10-Ds and 10-Ks required hereunder shall be provided in electronic format compatible with the EDGAR system, which may be in Microsoft Word. To the extent that (i) no notice is provided to the Trustee of events or information reportable in any Form 8-K, (ii) no notice is provided of events or information reportable in any Form 10-D by the first Business Day after the related Distribution Date or (iii) no notice is provided of events or information reportable in any Form 10-K by March 15 of each year, in each case the Trustee shall without further notice conclude that there is no event or information to be reported. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, the Servicer will not be responsible for the filing of any Form 8-K or Form 10-D filed on behalf of the Trust (including but not limited to the timing of any filing or completeness of such filings) and will not be responsible for determining whether the content of any Form 8-K or Form 10-D filed on behalf of the Trust is accurate or correct (unless such information is contained in the Remittance Report or otherwise specific to the Servicer, in which case the Servicer will be responsible for making such a determination).
 
(b)  The Trustee shall, subject to Sections 8.01 and 8.02, indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor and the Servicer and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses (other than punitive damages) that any of them may sustain in any way related to (x) a breach of its obligation or the failure of the Trustee to perform any of its obligations pursuant to Section 3.22(a), (y) or Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith or any inaccuracy in the Trustee’s Certification and (z) any inaccurate information provided by the Trustee (to the extent such inaccuracy is not due to inaccurate information provided to the Trustee by the Servicer or any other party) that is contained in any Form 10-D filed with the SEC, other than any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs, fees and expenses arising out of the Servicer’s or any other party’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or any other related agreement. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any indemnified party, then the Trustee shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party on the one hand and the Trustee on the other.
 
(c)  The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of the Servicer’s failure to sign and deliver either the certification or the Form 10-K within the time frame provided in Section 3.22(a), other than any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of the Trustee’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Trustee and its officers, directors and Affiliates, then the Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Trustee, its officers, directors or Affiliates as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Trustee, its officers, directors or Affiliates in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Trustee and its officers, directors and Affiliates on the one hand and the Servicer on the other.
 
(d)  If the Securities and Exchange Commission issues additional interpretative guidance or promulgates additional rules or regulations with respect to Regulation AB or otherwise, or if other changes in applicable law occur, that would require the reporting arrangements, or the allocation of responsibilities with respect thereto, described in this Section 3.22, to be conducted differently than as described, the Depositor, the Servicer, and the Trustee will reasonably cooperate to amend the provisions of this Section 3.22 in order to comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment of this Section 3.22. Any such amendment shall be made in accordance with the first paragraph of Section 11.01 without the consent of the Certificateholders and without the requirement to deliver notice in writing to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies that such action will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency. Such amendment may result in the reduction of the reports filed by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee shall be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section 3.22 that adversely affects its obligations and immunities under this Agreement.
 
(e)  In filing any Monthly Form 8-K or Form 10-K, the Trustee shall not undertake any analysis of, and shall have no responsibility for, any financial information, accountant’s report, certification or other matter contained therein, except for computations performed by the Trustee and reflected in the statement set forth in Section 4.06(a) hereof.
 
(f)  The Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee agree to use their good faith efforts to cooperate in complying with the requirements of this Section 3.22.
 
(g)  Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer a copy of any such executed report, statement or information.
 
(h)  The obligations set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section shall only apply with respect to periods for which reports are required to be filed with respect to the Trust under the Exchange Act. Prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Trustee is able to do so under applicable law, the Trustee shall file a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust. At any time after the filing of a Form 15 Suspension Notification, if the number of Certificateholders of record exceeds the number set forth in Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act or the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto which would cause the Trust to again become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Trustee, solely at the Depositor’s prior written direction and expense, shall recommence preparing and filing reports on Form 10-K and 10-D as required pursuant to this Section 3.22 and the parties hereto shall again have the obligations set forth in this Section.
 
(i)  For so long as reports are required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act with respect to the Trust, each of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Seller shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee in writing of any litigation or proceeding that would be material to Certificateholders pending against such notifying person (or, in the case of the Servicer, against the Servicer or any Subservicer engaged by it), or, with respect to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Seller, any affiliations or relationships that develop following the Closing Date between such notifying person (or, in the case of the Servicer, between the Servicer or any Subservicer engaged by it) and any other party hereto or an Originator, that may have to be reported on a Form 8-K, Form 10-K or Form 10-D with respect to the Trust.
 
(j)  For so long as reports are required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act with respect to the Trust, the Depositor shall notify the Servicer and the Trustee in writing within 10 days following any Distribution Date as to whether the registrant (1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise indicated in writing by the Depositor within such 10 day-period of time, the Depositor shall be deemed to have notified the Servicer and the Trustee in the affirmative as to clauses (1) and (2) above. The Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Servicer and the Trustee, and officers, directors and Affiliates of each, from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of the Depositor’s failure to provide the accurate information required pursuant to this Section 3.22(j), other than any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of the Servicer’s or the Trustee’s breach of its respective obligations under this Agreement. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Servicer or the Trustee and its respective officers, directors and Affiliates, then the Depositor shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Servicer, or the Trustee, as the case may be, its respective officers, directors or Affiliates as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Servicer, or the Trustee, as the case may be, its respective officers, directors or Affiliates in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Servicer, or the Trustee and its respective officers, directors and Affiliates on the one hand and the Depositor on the other.
 

 
Section 3.23
Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of Compensating Interest.
 
Not later than the close of business on each Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount (“Compensating Interest”) equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans for the related Distribution Date resulting from Principal Prepayments in full on the Mortgage Loans during the related Prepayment Period and (B) 50% of (x) its aggregate Servicing Fee received in the related Collection Period and (y) the Excess Servicing Fee with respect to such Distribution Date. Compensating Interest shall be applied to offset any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for any amounts remitted to the Trustee in respect of Compensating Interest. Such amounts so remitted shall be included in the Available Funds and distributed therewith on the next Distribution Date. The Servicer shall not be obligated to cover shortfalls due to bankruptcy proceedings or the application of the Relief Act or similar state or local laws and ordinances.
 
Section 3.24
Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of Mortgage Interest Rates and Monthly Payments.
 
In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with respect to any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to Mortgage Interest Rates, Monthly Payments or Principal Balances that were made by the Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof, immediately shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor and any successor servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement.
 
Section 3.25
Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribu-tion Account.
 
(a)  The Servicer with respect to the Collection Account and the Trustee with respect to the Distribution Account, may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account or Distribution Account, as applicable (for purposes of this Section 3.25, each an “Investment Account”), to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Trustee is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee is the obligor thereon. 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 Trustee or the Servicer, as applicable (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee.
 
In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trustee shall at the direction of the Servicer:
 
(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 promptly upon determination by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.
 
(b)  All income and gain realized from the investment of funds in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Trustee. The Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such account immediately upon realization of such loss.
 
(c)  All income and gain realized from the investment of funds in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer. The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such account immediately upon realization of such loss.
 
(d)  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(a)(v), upon the request of the Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
 
The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Account held by the Trustee resulting from any investment loss on any Permitted Investment included therein (except to the extent that the Trustee is the obligor and has defaulted thereon).
 
Section 3.26
Liability of Servicer; Indemnification.
 
(a)  Subject to clause (b) below and Section 6.03, the Servicer (except the Trustee if it is required to succeed the Servicer hereunder) indemnifies and holds the Trustee, the Sponsor, the Depositor and each Certificateholder harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the Servicing Standards. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee, the Depositor and each Certificateholder if a claim is made that may result in such claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees or related costs, judgments, or any other costs, fees and expenses, and the Servicer shall assume (with the consent of the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the Servicer, the Trustee, the Depositor and/or Certificateholder in respect of such claim. The provisions of this Section 3.26 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the termination of the Servicer or the Trustee and the payment of the outstanding Certificates.
 
(b)  None of the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Servicer, or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Sponsor or the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Sponsor or the Servicer or any such Person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or against any specific liability imposed on the Servicer for a breach of the Servicing Standard, or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its respective willful misfeasance, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reasons of negligent disregard of its respective obligations or duties hereunder.
 
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Sponsor and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Sponsor or the Servicer, may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any appropriate Person with respect to any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer, the Sponsor, and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Sponsor or the Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action incurred by reason of its respective misfeasance, bad faith, fraud or negligence, a breach of a representation or warranty hereunder or (in the case of the Servicer) a breach of the Servicing Standard in the performance of its respective duties or by reason of negligent disregard of its respective obligations or duties hereunder. Neither the Depositor, the Sponsor nor the Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and in its opinion does not expose it to any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Depositor, the Sponsor or the Servicer may in its discretion undertake any action related to its obligations hereunder which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder.
 
Section 3.27
Reports of Foreclosure and Abandonment of Mortgaged Properties.
 
On or before the last day of February of each year beginning in 2008, the Servicer shall file the reports of foreclosure and abandonment of any Mortgaged Property required by Section 6050J of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service and provide an Officer’s Certificate certifying its compliance with this Section 3.27 to the Trustee. The reports from the Servicer shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Section 6050J.
 
Section 3.28
Protection of Assets.
 
(a)  Except for transactions and activities entered into in connection with the securitization that is the subject of this Agreement, the Trust is not authorized and has no power to:
 
(1) borrow money or issue debt;
 
(2) merge with another entity, reorganize, liquidate or sell assets; or
 
(3) engage in any business or activities.
 
(b)  Each party to this Agreement agrees that it will not file an involuntary bankruptcy petition against the Trust or the Trust Fund or initiate any other form of insolvency proceeding until after the Certificates have been paid.
 
Section 3.29
Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
 
No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself a separate, segregated trust account titled, “Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, in trust for the registered Holders of 2007-CB3 Trust, C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2007-CB3.
 
On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount payable to the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates or the Class B Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by the Class CE-1 Certificateholders to, and therefore shall, deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described in Section 4.02(B)(vi), rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE-1 Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates, and shall distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and/or the Class B Certificates in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.02.
 
For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE-1 Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account and all amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC 8 to the Holders of the Class CE-1 Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust, or the payment in full of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be released by the Trust and distributed to the Class CE-1 Certificateholders or their designees. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be part of the Trust but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates or the Class B Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts shall not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1). The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h).
 
By accepting a Class CE-1 Certificate, each Class CE-1 Certificateholder hereby agrees to direct the Trustee, and the Trustee hereby is directed, to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described above on each Distribution Date as to which there is any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE-1 Certificateholders. By accepting a Class CE-1 Certificate, each Class CE-1 Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance.
 
Amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall remain uninvested.
 
For federal tax return and information reporting, the value of the right of Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount shall be zero.
 
Section 3.30
Advance Facility.
 
(a)  The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or other facility (any such arrangement, an “Advance Facility”), the documentation for which complies with Section 3.30(e) below, under which (1) the Servicer assigns or pledges its rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any or all Advances and/or Servicing Advances to (i) a Person, which may be a special-purpose bankruptcy-remote entity (an “SPV”), (ii) a Person, which may simultaneously assign or pledge such rights to an SPV or (iii) a lender (a “Lender”), which, in the case of any Person or SPV of the type described in either of the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), may directly or through other assignees and/or pledgees, assign or pledge such rights to a Person, which may include a trustee acting on behalf of holders of debt instruments (any such Person or any such Lender, an “Advance Financing Person”), and/or (2) an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund all the Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to be made by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of the Trustee, Certificateholders or any other party shall be required before the Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility nor shall the Trustee or the Certificateholders be a third party beneficiary of any obligation of an Advance Financing Person to the Servicer. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances, (A) the Servicer (i) shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make Advances and/or Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement and (ii) shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue of such Advance Facility and (B) neither the Advance Financing Person nor any Servicer’s Assignee (as hereinafter defined) shall have any right to proceed against or otherwise contact any Mortgagor for the purpose of collecting any payment that may be due with respect to any related Mortgage Loan or enforcing any covenant of such Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents.
 
(b)  If the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, the Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person shall deliver to the Trustee at the address set forth in Section 11.05 hereof a written notice (an “Advance Facility Notice”), stating (a) the identity of the Advance Financing Person and (b) the identity of the Person (the “Servicer’s Assignee”) that will, subject to Section 3.30(c) hereof, have the right to make withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof to reimburse previously unreimbursed Advances and/or Servicing Advances (“Advance Reimbursement Amounts”). Advance Reimbursement Amounts (i) shall consist solely of amounts in respect of Advances and/or Servicing Advances for which the Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with Section 3.05 hereof, assuming the Servicer had made the related Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s) and (ii) shall not consist of amounts payable to a successor Servicer in accordance with Section 3.05 hereof to the extent permitted under Section 3.30(e) below.
 
(c)  Notwithstanding the existence of an Advance Facility, the Servicer, on behalf of the Advance Financing Person and the Servicer’s Assignee, shall be entitled to receive reimbursements of Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.05 hereof, which entitlement may be terminated by the Advance Financing Person pursuant to a written notice to the Trustee in the manner set forth in Section 11.05 hereof. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Servicer shall no longer be entitled to receive reimbursement for any Advance Reimbursement Amounts and the Servicer’s Assignee shall immediately have the right to receive from the Collection Account all Advance Reimbursement Amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Servicer and/or the Servicer’s Assignee shall only be entitled to reimbursement of Advance Reimbursement Amounts hereunder from withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement and shall not otherwise be entitled to make withdrawals of, or receive, Advance Reimbursement Amounts that shall be deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.04(b) hereof, and (ii) none of the Trustee or the Certificateholders shall have any right to, or otherwise be entitled to, receive any Advance Reimbursement Amounts to which the Servicer or Servicer’s Assignee, as applicable, shall be entitled pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Trustee or the Certificateholders shall have any right to set off against Advance Reimbursement Amounts hereunder. An Advance Facility may be terminated by the joint written direction of the Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person. Written notice of such termination shall be delivered to the Trustee in the manner set forth in Section 11.05 hereof. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, have any additional duty or liability with respect to the calculation or payment of any Advance Reimbursement Amount, nor, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, shall the Depositor or the Trustee have any additional responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the Advance Facility or the payment of Advance Reimbursement Amounts to the Servicer’s Assignee. The Depositor and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation on the Advance Facility Notice and on such Servicer’s report of the amount of Advance Reimbursement Amounts and Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts that were included in the remittance from such Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01. The Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the Trustee, any successor Servicer and the Trust Fund for any claim, loss, liability or damage resulting from any claim by the related Advance Financing Person, except to the extent that such claim, loss, liability or damage resulted from or arose out of negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of the Depositor, the Trustee or any successor Servicer, as the case may be, or failure by the successor Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, to remit funds as required by this Agreement or the commission of an act or omission to act by the successor Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, and the passage of any applicable cure or grace period, such that an Event of Termination under this Agreement occurs or such entity is subject to termination for cause under this Agreement. The Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor Servicer and, upon request, the Trustee a detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advance Financing Person. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by the predecessor Servicer, and the successor Servicer shall not be liable for any errors in such information.
 
(d)  [Reserved].
 
(e)  As between a predecessor Servicer and its Advance Financing Person, on the one hand, and a successor Servicer and its Advance Financing Person, if any, on the other hand, Advance Reimbursement Amounts on a loan-by-loan basis with respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which an Advance and/or Servicing Advance shall have been made and be outstanding shall be allocated on a “first-in, first out” basis. In the event the Servicer’s Assignee shall have received some or all of an Advance Reimbursement Amount related to Advances and/or Servicing Advances that were made by a Person other than such predecessor Servicer or its related Advance Financing Person in error, then such Servicer’s Assignee shall be required to remit any portion of such Advance Reimbursement Amount to each Person entitled to such portion of such Advance Reimbursement Amount. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the Advance Financing Person for all Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the related Advance Reimbursement Amounts have not been assigned or pledged to such Advance Financing Person or Servicer’s Assignee.
 
(f)  For purposes of any Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer made pursuant to Section 4.07(d), any Nonrecoverable Advance referred to therein may have been made by such Servicer or any predecessor Servicer. In making its determination that any Advance or Servicing Advance theretofore made has become a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer shall apply the same criteria in making such determination regardless of whether such Advance or Servicing Advance shall have been made by the Servicer or any predecessor Servicer.
 
(g)  Any amendment to this Section 3.30 or to any other provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.30, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder, provided such amendment complies with Section 11.01 hereof. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of each party hereto of any such amendment shall be borne solely by the Servicer. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that: (a) the Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by and/or pledged to an Advance Financing Person under any Advance Facility are obligations owed to the Servicer payable only from the cash flows and proceeds received under this Agreement for reimbursement of Advances and/or Servicing Advances only to the extent provided herein, and the Trustee and the Trust are not, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, obligated or liable to repay any Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by the Advance Financing Person; (b) the Servicer will be responsible for remitting to the Advance Financing Person the applicable amounts collected by it as reimbursement for Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by the Advance Financing Person, subject to the provisions of this Agreement; and (c) the Trustee shall not have any responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the financing arrangement between the Servicer and any Advance Financing Person.

In addition, the Servicer shall have the right to reimburse itself for any Advances previously made from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer’s records and replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before the next Distribution Date to the extent that the Available Funds for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard to Advances to be made on the Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.02 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for future distributions had not been so used to make Advances. The Trustee will provide notice to the Servicer by telecopy by the close of business on any Servicer Remittance Date in the event that the amount remitted by the Servicer to the Trustee on such date is less than the Advances required to be made by the Servicer for the related Distribution Date, as set forth in the related Remittance Report.
 
(c)  The obligation of the Servicer to make such Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to (d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall continue until the earlier of such time as such Mortgage Loan is paid in full by the Mortgagor or disposed of by the Trust, or until the recovery of all Liquidation Proceeds thereon.
 
(d)  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Advance or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if such Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee.

(e)  On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall cause in the following order of priority, the following amounts to be distributed by REMIC 3 to REMIC 6 on account of the Class B-3 Interest or withdrawn from the Distribution Account and distributed to the Holders of the Class R-X Certificates (in respect of the Class R-6 Interest), as the case may be:

Section 4.09
Swap Account.
 
(a)  On the Closing Date, there is hereby established a separate trust (the “Supplemental Interest Trust”), into which the Depositor shall deposit the Interest Rate Swap Agreement. The Supplemental Interest Trust shall be maintained by the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, who initially, shall be the Trustee. No later than the Closing Date, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall establish and maintain a separate, segregated trust account to be held in the Supplemental Interest Trust, titled, “Swap Account, U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, in trust for the registered Holders of 2007-CB3 Trust, C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2007-CB3.” Such account shall be an Eligible Account and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including, without limitation, other moneys of the Trustee held pursuant to this Agreement. Amounts therein shall be held uninvested.
 
(b)  On each Distribution Date, prior to any distribution to any Certificate, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall deposit into the Swap Account: (i) the amount of any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment (other than any Swap Termination Payment resulting from a Swap Provider Trigger Event) owed to the Swap Provider (after taking into account any upfront payment received from the counterparty to a replacement interest rate swap agreement) from funds received by it from the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans prior to the determination of Available Funds with respect to such Distribution Date. For federal income tax purposes, any amounts paid to the Swap Provider on each Distribution Date shall first be deemed paid to the Swap Provider in respect of REMIC 11 Regular Interest SWAP IO to the extent of the amount distributable on REMIC 11 Regular Interest SWAP IO on such Distribution Date, and any remaining amount shall be deemed paid to the Swap Provider in respect of a Class IO Distribution Amount (as defined below).
 
(c)  It is the intention and direction of the Sponsor that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trust be disregarded as an entity separate from the Holder of the Class CE-1 Certificates unless and until the date when either (a) there is more than one Class CE-1 Certificateholder or (b) any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class CE-1 Certificates is recharacterized as an equity interest in the Supplemental Interest Trust for federal income tax purposes, in which case it is the intention and direction of the Sponsor to the other parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trust be treated as a partnership. The Supplemental Interest Trust will be an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h).
 
(d)  To the extent that the Supplemental Interest Trust is determined to be a separate legal entity from the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, any obligation of the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement shall be deemed to be an obligation of the Supplemental Interest Trust.
 
(e)  The Trustee shall treat the Holders of Certificates (other than the Class CE-1 Certificates, Class P Certificates and Residual Certificates) as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the Holders of the Class CE-1 Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all Holders of Certificates (other than the Class CE-1 Certificates, Class P Certificates and Residual Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holder of the Class CE-1 Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the REMIC 2 Regular Interest corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class IO Distribution Amount”). A Class IO Distribution Amount payable from interest collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Certificates based on the excess of (a) the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Certificates over (ii) the amount of interest payable to such Certificates at a per annum rate equal to the Rate Cap, and a Class IO Distribution Amount payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding Certificate Principal Balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the Holder of the Class CE-1 Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts to the Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class CE-1 Certificates, the Class CE-2 Certificates, Class P Certificates and Residual Certificates) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments to such Certificates from amounts deemed received in respect of this notional principal contract shall not be payments with respect to a Regular Interest in a REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code. However, any payment from the Certificates (other than the Class CE-1 Certificates, the Class CE-2 Certificates, Class P Certificates and Residual Certificates) of a Class IO Distribution Amount shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the Holders of such Certificates in respect of their interests in REMIC 3 and as having been paid by such Holders pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each Certificate (other than the Class CE-1 Certificates, the Class CE-2 Certificates, Class P Certificates and Residual Certificates) shall be treated as representing not only ownership of Regular Interests in REMIC 2, but also ownership of an interest in, and obligations with respect to, a notional principal contract.
 
(f)  The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Sponsor, enforce all of the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee’s rights and exercise any remedies under the Swap Agreement. In the event the Swap Agreement is terminated as a result of the designation by either party thereto of an Early Termination Date (as defined therein), the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Sponsor, cooperate with the Sponsor in replacing the Interest Rate Swap Agreement with a new interest rate swap agreement. The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall have no responsibility with regard to the selection of a replacement swap provider or the negotiation of a replacement interest rate swap agreement. Any Swap Termination Payment received by the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall be deposited in the Swap Account and shall be used to make any upfront payment required under a replacement swap agreement and any upfront payment received from the counterparty to a replacement swap agreement shall be used to pay any Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Provider.
 
Section 4.10
Tax Treatment of Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments.
 
For federal income tax purposes, each holder of a Floating Rate Certificate and Fixed Rate Certificate is deemed to own an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a REMIC regular interest and the right to receive payments from either the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account or the Swap Account in respect of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount or the obligation to make payments to the Swap Account. For federal income tax purposes, the Trustee shall account for payments to each Floating Rate Certificate and Fixed Rate Certificate as follows: each such Certificate shall be treated as receiving their entire payment from REMIC 3 (regardless of any Swap Termination Payment or obligation under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement) and subsequently paying their portion of any Swap Termination Payment in respect of each such Class’ obligation under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement. In the event that any such Class is resecuritized in a REMIC, the obligation under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement to pay any such Swap Termination Payment (or any shortfall in a Swap Payment owed to the Swap Provider), shall be made by one or more of the REMIC Regular Interests issued by the resecuritization REMIC subsequent to such REMIC Regular Interest receiving its full payment from any such Floating Rate Certificate or Fixed Rate Certificate.
 
The REMIC regular interest corresponding to a Floating Rate Certificate or Fixed Rate Certificate shall be entitled to receive interest and principal payments at the times and in the amounts equal to those made on the certificate to which it corresponds, except that (i) the maximum interest rate of that REMIC regular interest will equal the Rate Cap computed for this purpose by limiting the Base Calculation Amount (as set forth in the Interest Rate Swap Agreement) to the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and (ii) any Swap Termination Payment shall be treated as being payable solely from Monthly Excess Cashflow Amount. As a result of the foregoing, the amount of distributions and taxable income on the REMIC regular interest corresponding to a Floating Rate Certificate or Fixed Rate Certificate may exceed the actual amount of distributions on such Certificates.

THE CERTIFICATES
 
Section 5.01
The Certificates.
 
Each of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates, the Class B Certificates, the Class CE-1 Certificates, the Class CE-2 Certificates, the Class P Certificates and the Residual Certificates shall be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as exhibits, and shall, on original issue, be executed by the Trustee and authenticated and delivered by the Certificate Registrar to or upon the receipt of a Written Order to Authenticate from the Depositor concurrently with the sale and assignment to the Trustee of the Trust Fund. Each Class of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates shall be initially evidenced by one or more Certificates representing a Percentage Interest with a minimum dollar (or notional amount) denomination of $25,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Class CE-1 Certificates, Class P Certificates and Residual Certificates are issuable only in minimum Percentage Interests of 10%.
 
The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by a Responsible Officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless such Certificate shall have been manually authenticated by the Certificate Registrar substantially in the form provided for herein, and such authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. Subject to Section 5.02(c), the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates shall be Book-Entry Certificates. The Class CE-1 Certificates, Class CE-2 Certificates, Class P Certificates and Residual Certificates shall not be Book-Entry Certificates but shall be issued in fully registered certificate form.
 
Section 5.02
Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
 
(a)  The Certificate Registrar shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee shall initially serve as Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee as Certificate Registrar shall be subject to the same standards of care, limitations on liability and rights to indemnity as the Trustee, and the provisions of Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.04, 8.05, 8.14 and 8.15 shall apply to the Certificate Registrar to the same extent as they apply to the Trustee. Any Certificate Registrar appointed in accordance with this Section 5.02(a) may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days’ advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Servicer and the Depositor, such resignation to become effective upon appointment of a successor Certificate Registrar.
 
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose pursuant to the foregoing paragraph and, in the case of a Residual Certificate, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same aggregate Percentage Interest.
 
At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates in authorized denominations and the same aggregate Percentage Interests, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
 
(b)  Upon original issuance, the Book-Entry Certificates shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten certificates, to be delivered to the Depository, the initial Depository, by, or on behalf of, the Depositor; or to, and deposited with the Certificate Custodian, on behalf of the Depository, if directed to do so pursuant to instructions from the Depository. Except as provided in paragraph (c) below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of such Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall for all purposes deal with the Depository as representative of the Certificate Owners of the Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representative shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and Persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners; and (vii) the direct participants of the Depository shall have no rights under this Agreement under or with respect to any of the Certificates held on their behalf by the Depository, and the Depository may be treated by the Trustee and its agents, employees, officers and directors as the absolute owner of the Certificates for all purposes whatsoever.
 
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 Owners. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners that it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures. The parties hereto are hereby authorized to execute a Letter of Representations with the Depository or take such other action as may be necessary or desirable to register a Book-Entry Certificate to the Depository. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any such Letter of Representation and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
 
(c)  If (i)(x) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, the Certificate Owners of each Class of Book-Entry Certificates representing Percentage Interests of such Classes aggregating not less than 51% advises the Trustee and Depository through the Financial Intermediaries and the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository to the exclusion of definitive, fully registered certificates (the “Definitive Certificates”) to Certificate Owners is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall, at the Depositor’s expense, in the case of (ii) above, or the Sponsor’s expense, in the case of (i) and (iii) above, execute on behalf of the Trust and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer, any Paying Agent and the Depositor shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
 
(d)  Except with respect to (a) the initial transfer of the Private Certificates by the Depositor, (b) the transfer of a Private Certificate to the issuer under any Indenture or the indenture trustee under any Indenture and (c) a transfer of any such Private Certificate from the issuer under any Indenture or the indenture trustee under any Indenture, no transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Private Certificate or Ownership Interest therein shall be made unless such disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and laws. In the event of any such transfer, (i) unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A (as evidenced by the investment letter delivered to the Certificate Registrar, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-2) under the 1933 Act, if the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor shall require a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the 1933 Act or is being made pursuant to the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor or (ii) the Certificate Registrar shall require the transferor to execute a transferor certificate (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit L) and the transferee to execute an investment letter (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-1) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar certifying to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor.
 
If any Certificate Owner that is required under this Section 5.02(d) to transfer its Book-Entry Certificates in the form of Definitive Certificates, (i) notifies the Trustee of such transfer or exchange and (ii) transfers such Book-Entry Certificates to the Trustee, in its capacity as such, through the book-entry facilities of the Depository, then the Trustee shall decrease the balance of such Book-Entry Certificates or, the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to cause the surrender to the Certificate Registrar of such Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, and thereupon, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver to such Certificate Owner or its designee one or more Definitive Certificates in authorized denominations and with a like aggregate principal amount.
 
Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.02(d) governing registration of transfer and exchange, Private Certificates (i) held as Definitive Certificates may be transferred in the form of Book-Entry Certificates in reliance on Rule 144A under the 1933 Act to one or more “qualified institutional buyers” that are acquiring such Definitive Certificates for their own accounts or for the accounts of other “qualified institutional buyers” and (ii) held as Definitive Certificates by a “qualified institutional buyer” for its own account or for the account of another “qualified institutional buyer” may be exchanged for Book-Entry Certificates, in each case upon surrender of such Private Certificates for registration of transfer or exchange at the offices of the Trustee maintained for such purpose. Whenever any such Private Certificates are so surrendered for transfer or exchange, either the Trustee shall increase the balance of the related Book-Entry Certificates or the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Book-Entry Certificates for which such Private Certificates were transferred or exchanged, as necessary and appropriate. No Holder of Definitive Certificates other than a “qualified institutional buyer” holding such Certificates for its own account or for the account of another “qualified institutional buyer” may exchange such Private Certificates for Book-Entry Certificates. Further, any Certificate Owner of a Book-Entry Certificate other than any such “qualified institutional buyers” shall notify the Trustee of its status as such and shall transfer such Book-Entry Certificate to the Trustee, through the book-entry facilities of the Depository, whereupon, and also upon surrender to the Trustee of such Book-Entry Certificate by the Depository, (which surrender the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to cause to occur), the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver to such Certificate Owner or such Certificate Owner’s nominee one or more Definitive Certificates in authorized denominations and with a like aggregate principal amount.
 
No transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate (other than in connection with (a) the initial transfer of the Private Certificates by the Depositor, (b) the transfer of a Private Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture and (c) a transfer of any Private Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture) other than a Class B-4 Certificate, shall be made unless the Certificate Registrar shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, (such requirement is satisfied only by the Certificate Registrar’s receipt of a representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto, as appropriate), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code (“Plans”), nor a person acting on behalf of any such Plan nor using the assets of any such Plan or arrangement (“Plan Assets”) to effect such transfer or (ii) (except in the case of a Residual Certificate) in the case of any such ERISA Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement or using such plan’s or arrangement’s assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Seller or the Trust), and upon which the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and the Certificate Registrar shall be entitled to rely, to the effect that the purchase and holding of such ERISA Restricted Certificate will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA and the Code and will not subject the Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the representation in (i) shall be deemed to have been made to the Certificate Registrar by the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the beneficial interest in any such Class of ERISA Restricted Certificates, unless the Certificate Registrar shall have received from the transferee an alternative representation acceptable in form and substance to the Depositor. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA in violation of this paragraph as described above shall be void and of no effect.
 
For so long as the Supplemental Interest Trust is in existence, each beneficial owner of a Class B-4 Certificate or any interest therein, shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of the offered certificate, or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan or investing Plan Assets or (ii) the acquisition and holding of such certificate and the separate right to receive payments from the Supplemental Interest Trust are eligible for the exemptive relief available under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60.

Each beneficial owner of a Class B-4 Certificate or any interest therein that is acquired following termination of the Supplemental Interest Trust shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of that certificate or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan or investing Plan Assets or (ii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general account,” as such term is defined in PTCE 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.
 
Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale, 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 Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
 
(ii)  No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata undivided interest.
 
(iii)  In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall as a condition to registration of the transfer, require delivery to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of each of the following:
 
A. an affidavit in the form of Exhibit K hereto from the proposed transferee to the effect that, among other things, such transferee is a Permitted Transferee and that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the subject of the proposed transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee; and
 
B. a covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect that the proposed transferee agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer restrictions applicable to the Residual Certificates.
 
(iv)  Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall, in violation of the provisions of this Section, become a Holder of a Residual Certificate, then the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section or for making any distributions due on such Residual 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 Certificate Registrar received the documents specified in clause (iii). The Trustee shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such distributions were made all distributions made on such Residual Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the Trustee shall be distributed and delivered by the Trustee to the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.
 
(v)  If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Certificate Registrar shall have the right but not the obligation, without notice to the Holder of such Residual Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership Interest therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of such Residual Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Depositor or its affiliates in connection with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Trustee to the previous Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee, except that in the event that the Trustee determines that the Holder of such Residual Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this Section or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee may withhold a corresponding amount from such remittance as security for such claim. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee and it shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.
 
(vi)  If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Trustee will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code on transfers of residual interests to disqualified organizations. The Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for providing such information from the person to whom it is provided.
 
No transfer of any Class CE-1 Certificate shall be made unless the transferee of such Class CE-1 Certificate provides to the Trustee and the Swap Provider the appropriate tax certification form (i.e. IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY, W-8EXP or W-8ECI, as applicable (or any successor thereto)) as a condition to such transfer and agrees to update such forms (i) upon expiration of any such form, (ii) as required under then applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations and (iii) promptly upon learning that any IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY, W-8EXP or W-8ECI, as applicable (or any successor thereto)), has become obsolete or incorrect. In addition, no transfer of any Class CE-1 Certificate shall be made if such transfer would cause the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account or the Swap Account to be beneficially owned by two or more persons for federal income tax purposes, or continue to be so treated, unless (a) each proposed transferee of such Class CE-1 Certificate complies with the foregoing conditions, (b) the proposed majority Holder of the Class CE-1 Certificates (or each Holder, if there is or would be no majority Holder) (A) provides, or causes to be provided, on behalf of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account or the Swap Account the appropriate tax certification form that would be required from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account or the Swap Account to eliminate any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such account (i.e. IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8BEN, W-9IMY, W-8EXP or W-8ECI, as applicable (or any successor form thereto) as a condition to such transfer, together with any applicable attachments) and (B) agrees to update such form (x) upon the expiration of any such form, (y) as required under then applicable U.S. Treasury regulations and (z) promptly upon learning that such form has become obsolete or incorrect.
 
Upon receipt of any such tax certification form from a transferee of any Class CE-1 Certificate pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Trustee shall provide a copy of any such tax certification form to the Swap Provider, upon its request, solely to the extent the Swap Provider has not received such IRS Form directly from the Holder of the Class CE-1 Certificates. Each Holder of a Class CE-1 Certificate by its purchase of such Certificate is deemed to consent to any such IRS Form being so forwarded. Upon the request of the Swap Provider, the Trustee shall be required to forward any tax certification received by it to the Swap Provider at the last known address provided to it, and, subject to Section 8.01, shall not be liable for the receipt of such tax certification by the Swap Provider, nor any action taken or not taken by the Swap Provider with respect to such tax certification. Any purported sales or transfers of any Class CE-1 Certificate to a transferee which does not comply with the requirements of the preceding paragraph shall be deemed null and void under this Agreement. The Trustee shall have no duty to take any action to correct any misstatement or omission in any tax certification provided to it by the Holder of the Class CE-1 Certificates and forwarded to the Swap Provider absent actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of such misstatement or omission.
 
The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to transfers occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been delivered to the Certificate Registrar, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, (i) written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its rating of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
 
(e)  No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates of any Class, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
 
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled by the Certificate Registrar and disposed of pursuant to its standard procedures.
 
Section 5.03
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
 
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust, and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section, shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
 
Section 5.04
Persons Deemed Owners.
 
The Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent or the Trustee may treat the Person, including a Depository, in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and Section 4.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicer, the Trust, the Trustee nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
Section 5.05
Appointment of Paying Agent.
 
The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.01 and Section 4.02 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Trustee. The duties of the Paying Agent may include the obligation to distribute statements and provide information to Certificateholders as required hereunder. The Paying Agent hereunder shall at all times be an entity duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Trustee. The Trustee may appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent, which appointment shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Rating Agencies. The Trustee as Paying Agent shall be subject to the same standards of care, limitations on liability and rights to indemnity as the Trustee, and the provisions of Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.04, 8.05, 8.14 and 8.15 shall apply to the Paying Agent to the same extent as they apply to the Trustee. Any Paying Agent appointed in accordance with this Section 5.02(a) may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days’ advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Servicer and the Depositor, such resignation to become effective upon appointment of a successor Paying Agent.

The Servicer, the Depositor and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer or the Depositor may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.

This paragraph shall apply to the Servicer and the Depositor solely in their capacities as Servicer and Depositor hereunder and in no other capacities.
 
Section 6.04
Servicer Not to Resign.
 
Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 and the second paragraph of Section 7.02, Section 6.02 and the second paragraph of this Section 6.04, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, the other activities of the Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature carried on by the Servicer or its subsidiaries or Affiliates at the date of this Agreement or (ii) upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) the Servicer has proposed a successor servicer to the Trustee in writing and such proposed successor servicer is reasonably acceptable to the Trustee; and (b) each Rating Agency shall have delivered a letter to the Trustee prior to the appointment of the successor servicer stating that the proposed appointment of such successor servicer as Servicer hereunder will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current rating of the Regular Certificates or the ratings that are in effect; provided, however, that no such resignation by the Servicer shall become effective until such successor servicer or, in the case of (i) above, the Trustee shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder or the Trustee shall have designated a successor servicer in accordance with Section 7.02. Any such resignation shall not relieve the Servicer of responsibility for any of the obligations specified in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 as obligations that survive the resignation or termination of the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to clause (i) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be set forth above, the Trustee and the Depositor hereby specifically (i) consent to the pledge and assignment by the Servicer of all the Servicer’s right, title and interest in, to and under this Agreement to the Servicing Rights Pledgee, for the benefit of certain lenders, and (ii) provided that no Servicer Event of Termination exists, agree that upon delivery to the Trustee by the Servicing Rights Pledgee of a letter signed by the Servicer whereunder the Servicer shall resign as Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall appoint the Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee as successor Servicer, provided that at the time of such appointment, the Servicing Rights Pledgee or such designee meets the requirements of a successor Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02(a) and agrees to be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

In the ordinary course of business, the Servicer at any time may delegate any of its duties hereunder to any Person, including any of its Affiliates, who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with standards comparable to those set forth in Section 3.01. Such delegation shall not relieve the Servicer of its liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such duties and shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 6.04. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee and the Rating Agencies with 60 days prior written notice prior to the delegation of any of its duties to any Person other than any of the Servicer’s Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns.

Section 7.01
Servicer Events of Termination.
 
(a)  If any one of the following events (“Servicer Events of Termination”) shall occur and be continuing:
 
(i)  (A) The failure by the Servicer to make any Advance; or (B) any other failure by the Servicer to deposit in the Collection Account or Distribution Account any deposit required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or by any Holder of a Regular Certificate evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or
 
(ii)  The failure by the Servicer to make any required Servicing Advance which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days, or the failure by the Servicer duly to observe or perform, in any material respect, any other covenants, obligations or agreements of the Servicer as set forth in this Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days, after the date (A) on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or by any Holder of a Regular Certificate evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights or (B) actual knowledge of such failure by a Servicing Officer of the Servicer; or
 
(iii)  The entry against the Servicer of a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, conservatorship, receivership, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 days; or
 
(iv)  The Servicer shall voluntarily go into liquidation, consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or similar person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator or similar person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged, unbonded or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations.
 
(b)  Then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Servicer Event of Termination shall not have been remedied within the applicable grace period, (x) with respect solely to clause (i)(A) above, if such Advance is not made by 2:00 P.M., New York time, on the Business Day immediately following the Servicer Remittance Date, the Trustee may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and the Trustee, or a successor servicer appointed in accordance with Section 7.02, shall immediately make such Advance and assume, pursuant to Section 7.02, the duties of a successor Servicer and (y) in the case of (i)(B), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, the Trustee shall, at the direction of the Holders of each Class of Regular Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51%, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement. Any such notice to the Servicer shall also be given to each Rating Agency, the Depositor and the Sponsor. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section; and, without limitation, the Trustee 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 of each Mortgage Loan and Related Documents or otherwise. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee (or the applicable successor Servicer) in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the delivery to the successor Servicer of all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Servicer’s functions under this Agreement within ten Business Days subsequent to such notice, the transfer within one Business Day subsequent to such notice to the Trustee (or the applicable successor Servicer) for the administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the Servicer and to be deposited by it in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, any REO Account or any Escrow Account or that have been deposited by the Servicer in such accounts or thereafter received by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property received by the Servicer.

Section 7.02
Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
 
(a)  Within 90 days of the time the Servicer and the Trustee receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or resignation pursuant to 6.04(i), the Trustee (or such other successor Servicer as is approved in accordance with this Agreement) shall be the successor in all respects 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 arising on and after its succession. As compensation therefor, the Trustee (or such other successor Servicer) shall be entitled to such compensation as the Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the Trustee is unwilling to act as successor Servicer or (ii) if the Trustee is legally unable so to act, the Trustee shall appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution, bank or other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 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; provided, that the appointment of any such successor Servicer will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Certificates or the ratings that are in effect by the Rating Agencies as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive compensation out of payments on Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the compensation which the Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to Section 3.18 (or such other compensation as the Trustee and such successor shall agree, not to exceed the Servicing Fee). The successor servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the Collection Account all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the servicing to the successor servicer. The appointment of a successor servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as Servicer to pay any deductible under an insurance policy pursuant to Section 3.12 or to indemnify the parties indicated in Section 3.26 pursuant to the terms thereof, nor shall any successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer or for any breach by such Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
 
In the event of a Servicer Event of Termination, notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, the Trustee and the Depositor hereby agree that upon delivery to the Trustee by the Servicing Rights Pledgee of a letter signed by the Servicer within ten Business Days of when notification of such event shall have been provided to the Trustee, whereunder the Servicer shall resign as Servicer under this Agreement, the Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee shall be appointed as successor Servicer (provided that at the time of such appointment the Servicing Rights Pledgee or such designee meets the requirements of a successor Servicer set forth above) and the Servicing Rights Pledgee agrees to be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
 
(b)  Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Servicer as servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer continue to service and administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Certificateholders, and maintain in force a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder and a Fidelity Bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same extent as the Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.12.
 
Section 7.03
Waiver of Defaults.
 
The Majority Certificateholders may, on behalf of all Certificateholders, waive any events permitting removal of the Servicer as servicer pursuant to this Article VII, provided, however, that the Majority Certificateholders may not waive a default in making a required distribution on a Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist and any Servicer Event of Termination arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so waived. Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the Trustee to the Rating Agencies.
 
Section 7.04
Notification to Certificateholders.
 
(a)  On any termination or appointment of a successor the Servicer pursuant to this Article VII or Section 6.04, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and each Rating Agency.
 
(b)  No later than 60 days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or which, with notice or a lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer Event of Termination for five Business Days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of such occurrence unless such default or Servicer Event of Termination shall have been waived or cured. Such notice shall be given to the Rating Agencies promptly after any such occurrence.
 
Section 7.05
Survivability of Servicer Liabilities.
 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon termination of the Servicer hereunder, any liabilities of the Servicer which accrued prior to such termination shall survive such termination.
 
ARTICLE VIII
 
THE TRUSTEE
 
Section 8.01
Duties of Trustee.
 
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge and after the waiver or curing of all Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. If a Servicer Event of Termination has occurred (which has not been cured) of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.
 
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement to the extent specified herein; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Servicer, the Sponsor or the Depositor hereunder. If any such instrument is found not to conform in any material respect to the requirements of this Agreement, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders of such instrument in the event that the Trustee, after so requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument.
 
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
 
(i)  prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, and after the waiver or curing of all such Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
 
(ii)  the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining or investigating the facts related thereto;
 
(iii)  the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Majority Certificateholders relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising or omitting to exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement; and
 
(iv)  the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer to comply with the obligations of the Servicer referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.01(a) or any Servicer Event of Termination unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the applicable Corporate Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives written notice of such failure from the Servicer or the Majority Certificateholders. In the absence of such receipt of such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no Servicer Event of Termination.
 
The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement, except with respect to the Trustee during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
The Trustee shall not have any duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any insurance or (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund other than from funds available in the Distribution Account and to the extent set forth herein.
 
Section 8.02
Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
 
(a)  Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
 
(i)  the Trustee may request and rely upon, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
 
(ii)  the Trustee may consult with counsel and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;
 
(iii)  the Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction of the Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of any such act;
 
(iv)  the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
 
(v)  prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination and after the waiver or curing of all Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or documents, unless requested in writing to do so by the Majority Certificateholder; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to such proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Servicer upon demand. Nothing in this clause (v) shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors;
 
(vi)  the Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have any liability or make any representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of the Servicer until such time as the Trustee may be required to act as Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 or of the Custodian;
 
(vii)  the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney or custodian appointed by it with due care; and
 
(viii)  the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act.
 
Section 8.03
Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
 
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Sponsor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the signature of the Trustee and authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or Related Document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Servicer, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Servicer. The Trustee shall not at any time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders under this Agreement, including, without limitation: the existence, condition and ownership of any Mortgaged Property; the existence and enforceability of any hazard insurance thereon (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the validity of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan to the Trustee or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of any Mortgage Loan; the performance or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the compliance by the Depositor, the Sponsor or the Servicer with any warranty or representation made under this Agreement or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior to the Trustee’s receipt of notice or other discovery of any non-compliance therewith or any breach thereof; any investment of monies by or at the direction of the Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom, the acts or omissions of any of the Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02), or any Mortgagor; any action of the Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02), taken in the name of the Trustee; the failure of the Servicer to act or perform any duties required of it as agent of the Trustee hereunder; or any action by the Trustee taken at the instruction of the Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties under this Agreement. The Trustee shall not have any responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder.
 
Section 8.04
Trustee May Own Certificates.
 
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not Trustee and may transact any banking and trust business with the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Depositor or their Affiliates.
 
Section 8.05
Sponsor to Pay Trustee Fees and Expenses.
 
The Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date and pay to itself its fees in an aggregate amount equal to the Trustee Fee pursuant to Section 4.01 and, to the extent the Interest Remittance Amount is at any time insufficient for such purpose, the Sponsor shall pay such fees as reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and the Sponsor will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from such party’s negligence or bad faith or which is the responsibility of Certificateholders or the Trustee hereunder. In addition to the Trustee Fee, the Trustee, as compensation for its activities hereunder, shall be entitled to withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date prior to making distributions pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.02 any investment income or other benefit derived from balances in the Distribution Account for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 3.05(b). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, including Section 2.03(a) and Section 2.04, to the contrary, the Sponsor covenants and agrees to indemnify the Trustee and its respective officers, directors, employees and agents from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the last paragraph of Section 2.01), the Certificates or incurred in connection with the administration of the Trust, other than with respect to a party, any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of such party in the performance of their respective duties hereunder or by reason of such party’s reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder; provided, that the foregoing exclusion shall not apply with respect to any indemnification obligation to the Trustee hereunder relating to the last paragraph of Section 2.01 hereof. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified, to the extent not paid by the Sponsor pursuant to this Section, by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (not including expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee, in the ordinary course of the Trustee’s performance in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the Trustee or such party arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Agreement, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance by the Trustee of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of the reckless disregard of the Trustee’s obligations and duties under this Agreement; provided, that the foregoing exclusion shall not apply with respect to any indemnification obligation to the Trustee hereunder relating to the last paragraph of Section 2.01 hereof. This section shall survive termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of any Trustee hereunder.
 
Section 8.06
Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
 
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a Department of Housing and Urban Development and Federal Housing Administration approved mortgagee, an entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and a minimum long-term debt rating of BBB by Fitch and S&P and a long term debt rating of at least A1 or better by Moody’s, and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such entity publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06, the combined capital and surplus of such entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The principal office of the Trustee (other than the initial Trustee) shall be in a state with respect to which an Opinion of Counsel has been delivered to such Trustee at the time such Trustee is appointed Trustee to the effect that the Trust will not be a taxable entity under the laws of such state. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
 
Section 8.07
Resignation or Removal of Trustee.
 
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Servicer and each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and having accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
 
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee. If the Depositor or the Servicer removes the Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee.
 
The Majority Certificateholders may at any time remove the Trustee by written instrument or instruments delivered to the Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee and any expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such removal shall be reimbursed to it by the Majority Certificateholders promptly upon demand therefor; the Depositor shall thereupon use its best efforts to appoint a successor Trustee in accordance with this Section.
 
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided in Section 8.08.
 
Section 8.08
Successor Trustee.
 
Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Rating Agencies, the Servicer and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective, and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee. The Depositor, the Servicer and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
 
No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such successor Trustee shall not result in a downgrading of the Regular Certificates by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.
 
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this Section 8.08, the successor Trustee shall mail notice of the appointment of a successor Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency.
 
Section 8.09
Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
 
Any entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and 8.08, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
 
Section 8.10
Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
 
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust or any Mortgaged Property may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, 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 necessary or desirable. Any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the written approval of the Servicer. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in the case a Servicer Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 8.06, and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08. The Servicer shall be responsible for the fees of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed hereunder.
 
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
 
(i)  all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee 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 Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
 
(ii)  no trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
 
(iii)  the Servicer and the Trustee, acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee except that following the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, the Trustee acting alone may accept the resignation or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
 
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Depositor, the Rating Agencies and the Servicer.
 
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor Trustee.
 
Section 8.11
Limitation of Liability.
 
The Certificates are executed by the Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee of the Trust, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it by this Agreement. Each of the undertakings and agreements made on the part of the Trustee in the Certificates is made and intended not as a personal undertaking or agreement by the Trustee but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust.
 
Section 8.12
Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Certificates.
 
(a)  All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or the Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Trustee for the benefit of all Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursement and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.
 
(b)  The Trustee shall afford the Sponsor, the Depositor, the Servicer and each Certificateholder upon reasonable notice during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Trustee in respect of its duties hereunder and access to officers of the Trustee responsible for performing such duties. The Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Depositor and such Certificateholder and shall make available to the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Depositor and such Certificateholder for review and copying at the expense of the party requesting such copies, such books, documents or records as may be requested with respect to the Trustee’s duties hereunder. The Sponsor, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Certificateholders shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Trustee and are not obligated to supervise the performance of the Trustee under this Agreement or otherwise.
 
Section 8.13
Suits for Enforcement.
 
In case a Servicer Event of Termination or other default by the Servicer or the Sponsor hereunder shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee may proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement by a suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy, as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, and subject to the foregoing, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Trustee and the Certificateholders.
 
Section 8.14
Waiver of Bond Requirement.
 
The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part thereof, may be located that the Trustee post a bond or other surety with any court, agency or body whatsoever.
 
Section 8.15
Waiver of Inventory, Accounting and Appraisal Requirement.
 
The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part thereof, may be located that the Trustee file any inventory, accounting or appraisal of the Trust with any court, agency or body at any time or in any manner whatsoever.
 
ARTICLE IX
 
REMIC ADMINISTRATION
 
Section 9.01
REMIC Administration.
 
(a)  REMIC elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement shall be made by the Trustee on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. The regular interests and residual interest in each REMIC shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement.
 
(b)  The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC within the meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
 
(c)  The Servicer shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC, including but not limited to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to each REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Servicer in fulfilling its duties hereunder. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses to the extent provided in clause (i) above from the Collection Account.
 
(d)  The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file, all of the REMICs’ federal and state tax and information returns as the direct representative each REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee.
 
(e)  The Holder of the Residual Certificate at any time holding the largest Percentage Interest thereof shall be the “tax matters person” as defined in the REMIC Provisions (the “Tax Matters Person”) with respect to each REMIC and shall act as Tax Matters Person for each REMIC. The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall perform on behalf of each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified person or organization and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions. The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall represent each REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any government taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any item of any REMIC and otherwise act on behalf of any REMIC in relation to any tax matter involving the Trust.
 
(f)  The Trustee, the Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause the REMIC to take any action required under this Agreement necessary, or otherwise which, based on an Opinion of Counsel, is necessary, to create or maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. None of the Trustee, the Servicer or the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall take any action, cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of such REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon such REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee and the Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC created hereunder or the assets therein, or causing such REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of a Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee and the Servicer, or their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee or the Servicer has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
 
(g)  Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in the REMICs or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders of regular interests in the related REMIC.
 
(h)  The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.
 
(i)  No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC created hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans.
 
(j)  Neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC created hereunder will receive a fee or other compensation for services.
 
(k)  On or before April 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2008, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and each Rating Agency an Officers’ Certificate stating the Servicer’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.01.
 
(l)  The Trustee will apply for an Employee Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other acceptable method for the Trust (and any other tax entities identified by the Depositor) and shall complete the Form 8811.
 
Section 9.02
Prohibited Transactions and Activities.
 
Neither the Sponsor, the Depositor, the Servicer nor the Trustee shall sell, dispose of, or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of any REMIC created hereunder pursuant to Article X of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to either REMIC after the Closing Date, unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, or substitution) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (a) affect adversely the status of any REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC or of the interests therein other than the Residual Certificates as the regular interests therein, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to the Trust Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or (d) cause any REMIC created hereunder to be subject to a tax on prohibited transactions or prohibited contributions pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.
 
Section 9.03
Indemnification with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status.
 
In the event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Servicer shall indemnify the Holder of the related Residual Certificates against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Residual Certificate on which the Servicer has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such Residual Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Servicer have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of a negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).
 
ARTICLE X
 
TERMINATION
 
Section 10.01
Termination.
 
(a)  The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Paying Agent, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and the obligation of the Servicer to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, and (iii) the optional purchase by the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer of the Mortgage Loans as described below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.
 
The Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer may, at its option, terminate the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund and retire the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates on the next succeeding Distribution Date upon which the current Pool Balance is 10% or less than the Pool Balance as of the Cut-off Date by purchasing all of the outstanding (i) Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund at a price equal to the sum of the outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and except to the extent previously advanced by the Servicer, accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the weighted average of the Mortgage Interest Rates through the end of the Collection Period preceding the final Distribution Date plus unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees or Excess Servicing Fees allocable to such Mortgage Loans and Swap Termination Payment payable to the Swap Provider and (ii) REO Properties in the Trust Fund at a price equal to their fair market value as determined in good faith by the Servicer (the “Termination Price”).
 
In connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account all amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account (less amounts permitted to be withdrawn by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07), which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately following such purchase.
 
Any such purchase shall be accomplished by delivery to the Trustee for deposit into the Distribution Account as part of Available Funds on the Determination Date before such Distribution Date of the Termination Price.
 
(b)  Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee upon the Trustee receiving notice of such date from the Servicer, by letter to the Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 15th day of the month preceding the month of such final distribution and not later than the 15th day of the month of such final distribution specifying (1) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution of the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency therein designated, (2) the location of the office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made, (3) the amount of any such final distribution and (4) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency therein specified.
 
(c)  Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of the Certificates on the Distribution Date for such final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage Interests of their respective Class and to the extent that funds are available for such purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to be distributed to such Holders in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4.01 and Section 4.02 for such Distribution Date.
 
(d)  In the event that all Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for final payment and cancellation on or before such final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall promptly following such date cause all funds in the Distribution Account not distributed in final distribution to Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account for the benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Servicer (if the Servicer has exercised its right to purchase the Mortgage Loans) or the Trustee (in any other case) shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within nine months after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Residual Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject hereto and the Trustee upon transfer of such funds shall be discharged of any responsibility for such funds, and such Certificateholders shall look to the Residual Certificateholders for payment.

In addition, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by Sponsor, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Majority Certificateholders for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates or the Swap Provider; provided, however, that no such amendment or waiver shall (x) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments on the Certificates which are required to be made on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (y) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates or the Swap Provider (as evidenced by (i) notice in writing to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies that such action will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency, or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Servicer and the Trustee) in a manner other than as described in clause (x) above, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing at least a 66% Percentage Interest in such Class, or (z) reduce the percentage of Voting Rights required by clause (y) above without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding.

The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement.
 
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel, delivered by (and at the expense of) the Person seeking such Amendment, to the effect that such amendment is permitted hereunder and will not result in the imposition of a tax on any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding and that the amendment is being made in accordance with the terms hereof.

The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.01, the Trustee, the Sponsor and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor and its counsel to enter into such amendments or modifications to the Agreement as may be necessary to comply with Regulation AB and any interpretation thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions 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 (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date (the “Record Date”), from funds in the Distribution Account in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class A-1 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement provided, however, that if any Class A-1 Certificate becomes a Definitive Certificate, the Record Date for such Certificate will be the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by or on behalf of the Trustee by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class B-4 Certificates the aggregate Initial Certificate Principal Balance of which is in excess of $5,000,000, or by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register, provided that the Trustee may deduct a reasonable wire transfer fee from any payment made by wire transfer. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.
 
The Class B-4 Pass-Through Rate on each Distribution Date is the lesser of (i) prior to the Optional Termination Date, 7.000% per annum and on or after the Optional Termination Date, 7.500% per annum and (ii) the related Rate Cap for such Distribution Date.
 
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class B-4 Certificates.
 
The Class B-4 Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
 
This certificate is subordinated in right of payment to the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates, the Class B-1 Certificates, the Class B-2 Certificates and the Class B-3 Certificates as described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement referred to herein.
 
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Sponsor, the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Sponsor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to the Voting Rights identified 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.
 
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Certificate Registrar as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
 
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests 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 evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
 
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that a transfer is to be made without registration or qualification, the Certificate Registrar shall require, in order to assure compliance with such laws, either (i) that the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee each execute a representation letter in the form described by the Agreement certifying to the Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding the transfer, or (ii) that the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar shall require an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to them that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, in their respective capacities as such. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and any Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
 
Any transferee of this Certificate or any interest herein shall be deemed to make the representation in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
 
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being 10% or less of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
 
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
 
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Sponsor and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Sponsor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to the Voting Rights identified 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.
 
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Certificate Registrar as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
 
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests 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 evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
 
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that a transfer is to be made without registration or qualification, the Certificate Registrar shall require, in order to assure compliance with such laws, either (i) that the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee each execute a representation letter in the form described by the Agreement certifying to the Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding the transfer, or (ii) that the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar shall require an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to them that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, in their respective capacities as such. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and any Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
 
No transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein may be made to employee benefit plans and certain other retirement plans and arrangements, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested that are subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code (“Plans”) or any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Certificate or interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan except in accordance with section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust to cease to qualify as eight separate REMICs or cause the imposition of a tax upon the Trust.
 
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
 
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being 10% or less of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
 
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

This certificate is subordinated in right of payment to the Class A Certificates, the Class M-1 Certificates, Class M-2 Certificates, Class M-3 Certificates and the Class M-4 Certificates as described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement referred to herein.
 
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Sponsor, the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Sponsor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to the Voting Rights identified in the Agreement.

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests 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 evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
 
No transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein may be made to employee benefit plans and certain other retirement plans and arrangements, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested that are subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code (“Plans”) or any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Certificate or interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan except in accordance with section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions 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 (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs or the Closing Date in the case of the first Distribution Date (the “Record Date”), from funds in the Distribution Account in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class CE-2 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
 
All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by or on behalf of the Trustee by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class CE-2 Certificates the aggregate Initial Certificate Principal Balance of which is in excess of a 66% Percentage Interest of the Class CE-2 Certificates or by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register, provided that the Trustee may deduct a reasonable wire transfer fee from any payment made by wire transfer. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.
 
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage Interest specified on the face hereof.

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.
 
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Certificate Registrar as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
 
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

ARTICLE III
 
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; REMEDIES FOR BREACH
 
Section 3.01   Seller Representations and Warranties Relating to the Mortgage Loans. The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, that as of the Closing Date or as of such date specifically provided herein:
 
(a)  The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct as of the Cut-off Date.
 
(b)  There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments, including assessments payable in future installments, or other outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property.
 
(c)  The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments, recorded in the applicable public recording office if necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage and the interests of the Certificateholders, and which have been delivered to the Trustee; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy, and is reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except, in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement has been delivered to the Trustee and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
 
(d)  The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.
 
(e)  All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon have been paid. If upon origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property was in an area identified on a Flood Hazard Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal 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 which policy conforms to the requirements of the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”). The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. All acts required to be performed to preserve the rights and remedies of the Trustee in any such insurance policies have been performed, including, without limitation, any necessary notifications of insurers and assignments of policies or interests therein.
 
(f)  As of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law, including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the origination of the Mortgage Loans have been complied with. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law, including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans have been complied with.
 
(g)  The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated (other than with respect to second lien loans, the subordination to the first lien loan) rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release.
 
(h)  The Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first or second lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property 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 being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally, (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 and (4) with respect to any second lien mortgage loan, the lien of the related first mortgage loan. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable first or second lien and first or second priority security interest on the property described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser.
 
(i)  The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
 
(j)  The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account of the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the mortgagee to advance additional funds thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.
 
(k)  Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment contemplated herein, the Seller was the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loans and has good and marketable title to each Mortgage Loan, free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges, claims, participation interests, mortgages, security interests or encumbrances or other interests of any nature and has full right and authority to sell and assign the same.
 
(l)  Each Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA mortgagee title insurance policy acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, issued by a title insurer acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC, and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (h)(1) and (2) above) the Seller, its successors and assigns as to the first or second priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the mortgage interest rate and/or monthly payment including any negative amortization thereunder. Additionally, such mortgagee title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress to and from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Seller is the sole insured of such mortgagee title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such mortgagee title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such mortgagee title insurance policy.
 
(m)  There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage.
 
(n)  The collection practices used by the Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been in all respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the mortgage servicing industry.
 
(o)  The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (1) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (2) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. The Mortgagor has not notified the Seller and the Seller has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, 50 U.S.C. App. §§ 501-596, enacted on December 19, 2003, as amended.
 
(p)  The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage.
 
(q)  In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor.
 
(r)  No Mortgage Loan contains provisions pursuant to which monthly payments are (1) paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by the Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, (2) paid by any source other than the Mortgagor or (3) contains any other similar provisions which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature.
 
(s)  The Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment and any other documents required to be delivered with respect to each Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof have been delivered to the Purchaser or its designee, all in compliance with the specific requirements of Section 2.02 hereof.
 
(t)  If the residential dwelling on the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or a unit in a planned unit development (other than a de minimis planned unit development) such condominium or planned unit development project meets FNMA’s eligibility requirements.
 
(u)  None of the Mortgage Loans are secured by a leasehold estate or constitute other than real property under applicable state law.
 
(v)  The rights with respect to each Mortgage Loan are assignable by the Seller without the consent of any Person other than consents which will have been obtained on or before the Closing Date.
 
(w)  The Mortgage Loans are not being transferred by the Seller with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditors of the Seller.
 
(x)  All parties which have had any interest in each Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, and including, without limitation, the Seller, are (or during the period in which they held and disposed such interest, were) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the property securing the Mortgage is located to the extent that any noncompliance thereunder would affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loans.
 
(y)  To the best of Seller’s knowledge, the Mortgaged Property is free from any and all toxic or hazardous substances and there exists no violation of any local, state or federal environmental law, rule or regulation.
 
(z)  The Mortgaged Property is free from material damage.
 
(aa)  Each Mortgage Loan has been serviced by the Servicer in accordance with the terms thereof and Applicable Regulations.
 
(bb)  [Reserved]
 
(cc)  [Reserved]
 
(dd)  There is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation and no eminent domain proceedings pending affecting any Mortgaged Property.
 
(ee)  To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there was no fraud or gross negligence involved in the origination of any Mortgage Loan by the applicable mortgagee or Mortgagor, and to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there was no fraud or gross negligence by the appraiser or any other party involved in the origination of any such Mortgage Loan.
 
(ff)  Each mortgage file contains an appraisal of or a broker’s price opinion regarding the related Mortgaged Property indicating an appraised value equal to the appraised value identified for such Mortgaged Property on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. [Each appraisal has been prepared on FNMA or FHLMC forms.]
 
(gg)  No improvements on any Mortgaged Property encroach on adjoining properties (and in the case of a condominium unit, such improvements are within the project with respect to that unit), and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon such Mortgaged Property unless there exists in the applicable Mortgage File a title policy with endorsements which insure against losses sustained by the insured as a result of such encroachments.
 
(hh)  [Reserved].
 
(ii)  With respect to escrow deposits, if any, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Servicer and there exists no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits or escrow advances or other charges or payments due the Servicer have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Note.
 
(jj)  No Mortgage Loan, other than a Bankruptcy Plan Mortgage Loan, is subject to any pending bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding. To the Seller’s best knowledge, no material litigation or lawsuit relating to any Mortgage Loan is pending.

Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser of a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in this Article III or Section 2.04 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee, transferee or designee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice to the others and in no event later than two Business Days from the date of such discovery. Within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such breach of a representation or warranty, the Seller shall promptly cure such breach in all material respects, or in the event such defect or breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or cause the removal of such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute for it one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans, in either case, in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Upon discovery or receipt of written notice by the Seller of any materially defective document in, or that a material document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the Seller shall have 120 days to cure such defect or 150 days following the Closing Date, in the case of missing Mortgages or Assignments (or within 90 days of the earlier of the Seller’s discovery or receipt of notification if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” for REMIC purposes), or in the event such defect cannot be cured, the Seller shall repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or cause the removal of such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute for it one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans, in either case, within such time periods and in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Section 3.01 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser, the Certificateholders or the Trustee on their behalf respecting a missing or defective document or a breach of the representations or warranties contained in this Section 3.01.

ARTICLE VI
 
TERMINATION
 
Section 6.01   Termination. The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller and the Purchaser created hereby shall terminate upon the termination of the Trust as provided in Section 8.01 of the Trust Agreement.

Section 7.04   Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be held invalid for any reason whatsoever, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.
 
Section 7.05   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original and such counterparts, together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction for Federal income tax purposes and all other purposes as a sale by the Seller and a purchase by the Purchaser of the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser will have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Files to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which will affect the Federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller will cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such review.

The parties hereto acknowledge that the Purchaser is acquiring the Mortgage Loans for the purpose of contributing them to a trust that will issue a series of certificates representing undivided interests in such Mortgage Loans. As an inducement to the Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans, the Seller acknowledges and consents to the assignment by the Purchaser to the Trustee of all of the Purchaser’s rights against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement insofar as such rights relate to Mortgage Loans transferred to the Trustee and to the enforcement or exercise of any right or remedy against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement by the Trustee. Such enforcement of a right or remedy by the Trustee shall have the same force and effect as if the right or remedy had been enforced or exercised by the Purchaser directly.
 
Section 7.09   Survival. The representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 hereof shall survive the purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder.

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 and/or Class R-X Certificates] (the “Certificates”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (the “Agreement”), relating to the above-referenced Certificates, among Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc., as depositor, Credit-Based Asset Servicing and Securitization LLC, as Sponsor, Litton Loan Servicing LP, as servicer and U.S. Bank National Association, 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.
 
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 Certificates either (i) for its own account or (ii) as nominee, trustee or agent for another Person and has attached hereto an affidavit from such Person in substantially the same form as this affidavit. 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 Certificates to Persons that are not 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 not a 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 Certificates if at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a 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.)
 
5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership Interest in the Certificates 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(d) of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the Certificates. 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 Certificates, 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 not a Permitted Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the form set forth in this Exhibit K to the Agreement (a “Transferor Certificate”) to the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is not a 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 Certificates.
 
8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is_________.
 
9. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section 7701(a)(30).
 
10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificates 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 is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor are we acting on behalf 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_.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6(d)(ii), to the extent that all or a portion (in either case, the “Unfunded Amount”) of any amount that is calculated as being due in respect of any Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) from Party B to Party A will be paid by Party B from amounts other than any upfront payment paid to Party B by an Eligible Replacement that has entered a Replacement Transaction with Party B, then such Unfunded Amount shall be due on the next subsequent Distribution Date following the date on which the payment would have been payable as determined in accordance with Section 6(d)(ii), and on any subsequent Distribution Dates until paid in full (or if such Early Termination Date is the final Distribution Date, on such final Distribution Date); provided, however, that if the date on which the payment would have been payable as determined in accordance with Section 6(d)(ii) is a Distribution Date, such payment will be payable on such Distribution Date. For the avoidance of doubt, interest on any payment due in respect of an Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) will in all events accrue interest from (and including) such Early Termination Date to (but excluding) the date on which the relevant payment is made.

(i)
Rating Agency Notifications. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Early Termination Date shall be effectively designated hereunder by Party B and no transfer of any rights or obligations under this Agreement shall be made by either party unless each Swap Rating Agency has been given prior written notice of such designation or transfer.

(j)
No Set-off. Except as expressly provided for in Section 2(c), Section 6 or Part 1(f)(i)(D) hereof, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other existing or future agreement, each party irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have to set off, net, recoup or otherwise withhold or suspend or condition payment or performance of any obligation between it and the other party hereunder against any obligation between it and the other party under any other agreements. Section 6(e) shall be amended by deleting the following sentence: “The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date and determined pursuant to this Section will be subject to any Set-off.”.
 
(k)
Amendment. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, no amendment of either this Agreement or any Transaction under this Agreement shall be permitted by either party unless each of the Swap Rating Agencies has been provided prior written notice of the same and such amendment satisfies the Rating Agency Condition with respect to S&P, Fitch and DBRS.

(l)
Notice of Certain Events or Circumstances. Each Party agrees, upon learning of the occurrence or existence of any event or condition that constitutes (or that with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute) an Event of Default or Termination Event with respect to such party, promptly to give the other Party and to each Swap Rating Agency notice of such event or condition; provided that failure to provide notice of such event or condition pursuant to this Part 5(l) shall not constitute an Event of Default or a Termination Event.
 
(m)         Proceedings. No Relevant Entity shall institute against, or cause any other person to institute against, or join any other person in instituting against Party B, the Supplemental Interest Trust, or the trust formed pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law for a period of one year (or, if longer, the applicable preference period) and one day following payment in full of the Certificates and any Notes; provided, however, that nothing will preclude, or be deemed to stop, Party A (i) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned one year and one day period, or if longer the applicable preference period then in effect, in (A) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by Party B or (B) any involuntary insolvency proceeding commenced by a Person other than Party A, or (ii) from commencing against Party B or any of the Collateral any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium, liquidation or similar proceeding. This provision will survive the termination of this Agreement. 

(n)
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee Liability Limitations. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Agreement is executed by U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) not in its individual capacity, but solely as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and invested in it under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (b) U.S. Bank has been directed pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; (c) each of the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust or on the part of Party B is made and intended not as personal representations of U.S. Bank but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Supplemental Interest Trust; and (d) under no circumstances shall U.S. Bank in its individual capacity be personally liable for any payments hereunder or for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken under this Agreement, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Supplemental Interest Trust in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(o)
Severability. If any term, provision, covenant, or condition of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any party or circumstance, shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable (in whole or in part) in any respect, the remaining terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions hereof shall continue in full force and effect as if this Agreement had been executed with the invalid or unenforceable portion eliminated, so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter of this Agreement and the deletion of such portion of this Agreement will not substantially impair the respective benefits or expectations of the parties; provided, however, that this severability provision shall not be applicable if any provision of Section 2, 5, 6, or 13 (or any definition or provision in Section 14 to the extent it relates to, or is used in or in connection with any such Section) shall be so held to be invalid or unenforceable.

The parties shall endeavor to engage in good faith negotiations to replace any invalid or unenforceable term, provision, covenant or condition with a valid or enforceable term, provision, covenant or condition, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid or unenforceable term, provision, covenant or condition.

(p)
Agent for Party B. Party A acknowledges that Party B has appointed the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee as its agent under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to carry out certain functions on behalf of Party B, and that the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall be entitled to give notices and to perform and satisfy the obligations of Party B hereunder on behalf of Party B.
 
(q)
Escrow Payments. If (whether by reason of the time difference between the cities in which payments are to be made or otherwise) it is not possible for simultaneous payments to be made on any date on which both parties are required to make payments hereunder, either Party may at its option and in its sole discretion notify the other Party that payments on that date are to be made in escrow. In this case deposit of the payment due earlier on that date shall be made by 2:00 pm (local time at the place for the earlier payment) on that date with an escrow agent selected by the notifying party, accompanied by irrevocable payment instructions (i) to release the deposited payment to the intended recipient upon receipt by the escrow agent of the required deposit of any corresponding payment payable by the other party on the same date accompanied by irrevocable payment instructions to the same effect or (ii) if the required deposit of the corresponding payment is not made on that same date, to return the payment deposited to the party that paid it into escrow. The party that elects to have payments made in escrow shall pay all costs of the escrow arrangements.
 
(r)
Consent to Recording. Each party hereto consents to the monitoring or recording, at any time and from time to time, by the other party of any and all communications between trading, marketing, and operations personnel of the parties and their Affiliates, waives any further notice of such monitoring or recording, and agrees to notify such personnel of such monitoring or recording.

(s)
Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any Credit Support Document.

(t)
Form of ISDA Master Agreement. Party A and Party B hereby agree that the text of the body of the ISDA Master Agreement is intended to be the printed form of the ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency - Crossborder) as published and copyrighted in 1992 by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.
