7.

The Servicer hereby acknowledges that the Trustee, acting pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, has the right to enforce all obligations of the Servicer, as they relate to the Assigned Loans, under the Servicing Agreement.  Such right will include, without limitation, the right to indemnification, the right to terminate the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default thereunder and the right to exercise certain rights of consent and approval relating to actions taken by the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.  In addition, any notice required to be given by the “Purchaser” pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Servicing Agreement shall be given by the Trustee.  The Servicer further acknowledges that pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer is required to monitor the performance of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.  The Master Servicer shall have the right to receive all remittances required to be made by the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, the right to receive all monthly reports and other data required to be delivered by the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, the right to examine the books and records of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement and the right to indemnification under the Servicing Agreement.  In addition, if the Servicer shall fail to remit any payment pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall notify the Servicer of such failure as set forth in Section 10.01 of the Servicing Agreement.  The Servicer hereby agrees to make all remittances required under the Servicing Agreement to the Master Servicer for the benefit of the Certificateholders in accordance with the following wire instructions:

In the event that the Assignor substitutes any Deleted Mortgage Loans with any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner set forth in the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall determine the amount (the “Substitution Shortfall Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate purchase price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, (x) the scheduled principal balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one month’s interest on such scheduled principal balance at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate (minus the Administration Fee Rate (as defined below)), plus (y) all outstanding Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances (including nonrecoverable Monthly Advances and nonrecoverable Servicing Advances) related thereto. On the date of such substitution, the Assignor will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Servicer shall certify in writing to the Trustee that it has received such Substitution Shortfall Amount from the Assignor.  The Servicer shall remit such Substitution Shortfall Amount to the securities administrator on the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date.  As used in this Section, the “Administration Fee Rate” means the sum of the rates used to calculate the fees payable to the Servicer, the Master Servicer and the credit risk manager under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
