PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
 
On or prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor acquired the Mortgage Loans from the Seller.

The Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall make an election for the assets constituting REMIC I to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a REMIC. On the Startup Day, the REMIC I Regular Interests will be designated the “regular interests” in such REMIC, and the Class I-R-1 Certificates will be designated the sole class of “residual interests” in such REMIC.
 
The Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall make an election for the assets constituting REMIC II to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a REMIC. On the Startup Day, the REMIC II Regular Interests will be designated the “regular interests” in such REMIC, and the Class II-R Certificates will be designated the sole class of “residual interests” in such REMIC.

It is intended, for federal income tax purposes, that the ES Trust will qualify as a grantor trust under Subpart E, part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code, and that, to the fullest extent possible, beneficial ownership of a Certificate (other than the Class I-R-1 Certificates and the Class II-R Certificates) will be treated as direct beneficial ownership of each individual, uncertificated REMIC III Regular Interest or Class I-R-2 Interest held by the ES Trust for which such Certificate is designated as the Corresponding Certificate in Section 5.01(c)(iii).
 
The Mortgage Loans will have an Outstanding Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, after deducting all Scheduled Principal due on or before the Cut-off Date, of $299,959,137.44.  The initial principal amount of the Certificates will not exceed such Outstanding Principal Balance.

Delinquent: The delinquency method used for calculations with respect to the Mortgage Loans will be in accordance with the methodology used by the Mortgage Bankers Association. Under this method, a mortgage loan is considered "30 days or more Delinquent" if the borrower fails to make a scheduled payment prior to the mortgage loan’s first succeeding due date. For example, if a securitization had a closing date occurring in August and a cut-off date of August 1, a mortgage loan with a payment due on July 1 that remained unpaid as of the close of business on July 31 would be described as 30 days delinquent as of the cut-off date. A mortgage loan would be considered "60 days or more Delinquent" with respect to such scheduled payment if such scheduled payment were not made prior to the close of business on the day prior to the mortgage loan’s second succeeding due date (or, in the preceding example, if the mortgage loan with a payment due on June 1 remained unpaid as of the close of business on July 31). Similarly for "90 days or more Delinquent" and so on. Unless otherwise specified, with respect to any date of determination, determinations of delinquency are made as of the last day of the prior calendar month. Mortgage Loans with Due Dates which are not the first of the month are treated as if the Due Date was the first of the following month.  This method of determining delinquencies is also referred to as the MBA method.

Section 2.01                                Conveyance of Mortgage Loans to Trustee.
 
(a)           The Depositor concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, sells, transfers and assigns to the Trust without recourse all its right, title and interest in and to (i) the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including all interest and principal due with respect to the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date, but excluding any payments of principal and interest due on or prior to the Cut-off Date; (ii) such assets as shall from time to time be credited or are required by the terms of this Agreement to be credited to the Master Servicer Collection Account and the Distribution Account, (iii) such assets relating to the Mortgage Loans as from time to time may be held by the Servicers in the Protected Accounts, the Master Servicer in the Master Servicer Collection Account and the Trustee in the Distribution Account, (iv) any REO Property, (v) the Required Insurance Policies and any amounts paid or payable by the insurer under any Insurance Policy (to the extent the mortgagee has a claim thereto), (vi) the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to the extent provided in Subsection 2.03(a), (vii) the rights with respect to the Servicing Agreements as assigned to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders by the Assignment Agreement and (viii) all proceeds of the foregoing. Although it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan, in the event that such conveyance is deemed to be a loan, it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Fund, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. Moreover, if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other assets constituting the Trust Fund, then it is intended as follows: (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code; (b) the conveyance provided for in this Section shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Distribution Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Trustee or its agent of the Mortgage Loans and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the Uniform Commercial Code; (d) the Trustee shall be deemed to be the “securities intermediary,” as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(14)(ii) of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, that in the ordinary course of its business maintains “securities accounts” for others, as such term is used in Section 8-501 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; (e) the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” as defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code shall be the State of New York; (f) the Trustee is not a “clearing corporation”, as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(5) of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and (g) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Depositor, the Seller and the Trustee agree that it is not intended that any mortgage loan be conveyed to the Trust that is a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined by applicable predatory lending laws.
 
(b)           In connection with the above transfer and assignment, the Depositor hereby delivers, or hereby causes to be delivered, to the Custodian, as agent for the Trustee, with respect to each Mortgage Loan:

provided, however, that in lieu of the foregoing, the Depositor may deliver to the Custodian, as agent of the Trustee, the following documents, under the circumstances set forth below: (w) in lieu of the original Security Instrument (other than the Mortgages related to the EMC Flow Loans), assignments to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof which have been delivered, are being delivered or will, upon receipt of recording information relating to the Security Instrument required to be included thereon, be delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned to the Depositor in time to permit their delivery as specified above, the Depositor may deliver, or cause to be delivered, a true copy thereof with a certification, on the face of such copy, substantially as follows: “Certified to be a true and correct copy of the original”; (x) in lieu of the Security Instrument, assignment to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof, if the applicable jurisdiction retains the originals of such documents (as evidenced by a certification from the Depositor to such effect) the Depositor may deliver photocopies of such documents containing an original certification by the judicial or other governmental authority of the jurisdiction where such documents were recorded; (y) in lieu of the Mortgages (other than the Mortgages related to the EMC Flow Loans), assignment to the Trustee or in blank or intervening assignments thereof, if the applicable jurisdiction retains the originals of such documents (as evidenced by a certification from the Depositor to such effect) the Depositor may deliver, or cause to be delivered, photocopies of such documents containing an original certification by the judicial or other governmental authority of the jurisdiction where such documents were recorded; and (z) in lieu of the Mortgage Notes relating to the Mortgage Loans identified on Exhibit 5 to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Depositor may deliver, or cause to be delivered, a lost note affidavit from the related Seller; and (z) the Depositor shall not be required to deliver intervening assignments or Mortgage Note endorsements between the related underlying originator or underlying Seller and the related Seller, between the related Seller and the Depositor, and between the Depositor and the Trustee; and provided, further, however, that in the case of Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents, may deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, a certification to such effect and shall deposit all amounts paid in respect of such Mortgage Loans in the Master Servicer Collection Account on the Closing Date. The Depositor shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, such original documents (including any original documents as to which certified copies had previously been delivered) to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, promptly after they are received. The Depositor shall cause the related Seller, at its expense, to cause each assignment of the Security Instrument to the Trustee to be recorded not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, unless (a) such recordation is not required by the Rating Agencies or an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee has been provided to the Trustee (with a copy to the Custodian) which states that recordation of such Security Instrument is not required to protect the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loans or (b) MERS is identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage as the mortgagee of record solely as nominee for the Seller and its successor and assigns; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, each assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Seller in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust or the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Trust Fund, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Seller and (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 8.02 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Seller fails to pay the cost of recording the assignments, such expense will be paid by the Trustee and the Trustee shall be reimbursed for such expenses by the Trust in accordance with Section 9.05.
 
Section 2.02                                Acceptance of Mortgage Loans and Underlying Certificates by Trustee.
 
(a)           The Trustee acknowledges the sale, transfer and assignment of the Trust Fund to it by the Depositor and receipt of, subject to further review and the exceptions which may be noted pursuant to the procedures described below, and declares that it holds, the documents (or certified copies thereof) delivered to the Custodian, as its agent, pursuant to Section 2.01(b), and declares that it will continue to hold those documents and any amendments, replacements or supplements thereto and all other assets of the Trust Fund delivered to it as Trustee in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the related Certificates. On the Closing Date, the Custodian, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, shall acknowledge with respect to each Mortgage Loan by delivery to the Depositor, the related Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee of an Initial Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit One to the related Custodial Agreement, receipt of the Mortgage File, but without review of such Mortgage File, except to the extent necessary to confirm that such Mortgage File contains the related Mortgage Note or lost note affidavit. No later than 90 days after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan, within five Business Days after the receipt by the Trustee or Custodian thereof), the Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the related Certificateholders, to review or cause to be reviewed by the Custodian on its behalf (under the Custodial Agreement), each Mortgage File delivered to it and to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Depositor, the related Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee an Interim Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit Two to the related Custodial Agreement. In conducting such review, the Trustee or Custodian will ascertain whether all required documents have been executed and received, and based on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, whether those documents relate, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans it has received, as identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. In performing any such review, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, may conclusively rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. If the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, finds any document constituting part of the Mortgage File has not been executed or received, or to be unrelated, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B or to appear defective on its face (i.e. torn, mutilated, or otherwise physically altered) (a “Material Defect”), the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall, upon completion of the review of all files, but in no event later than 90 days after the Closing Date, notify the Seller. In accordance with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall correct or cure any such defect within ninety (90) days from the date of notice from the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, of the defect and if the Seller fails to correct or cure the defect within such period, and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the related Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall enforce the related Seller’s obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to, within 90 days from the Trustee’s or the Custodian’s notification, provide a Substitute Mortgage Loan (if within two years of the Closing Date) or purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price; provided that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the related Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because the originals of such documents, or a certified copy have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the related Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if the Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the related Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such office; provided that the related Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall be effected by the Seller within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document.
 
(b)           No later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, will review, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Mortgage Files delivered to it and will execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to the Depositor, the related Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee a Final Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit Three to the related Custodial Agreement. In conducting such review, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, will ascertain whether an original of each document required to be recorded has been returned from the recording office with evidence of recording thereon or a certified copy has been obtained from the recording office. If the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, finds a Material Defect, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall, upon completion of the review of all files, but in no event later than 180 days after the Closing Date, notify the Seller (provided, however, that with respect to those documents described in subsections (b)(iv) and (viii) of Section 2.01, the Trustee’s and Custodian’s obligations shall extend only to the documents actually delivered to the Custodian pursuant to such subsections). In accordance with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the related Seller shall correct or cure any such defect within 90 days from the date of notice from the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, of the Material Defect and if the related Seller is unable to cure such defect within such period, and if such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the related Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall enforce the related Seller’s obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to, within 90 days from the Trustee’s or Custodian’s notification, provide a Substitute Mortgage Loan (if within two years of the Closing Date) or purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price, provided that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered, provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the related Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy, because the originals of such documents or a certified copy, have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the related Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan, if the related Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the related Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such office; provided that the related Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall be effected by the related Seller within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document.
 
(c)           In the event that a Mortgage Loan is purchased by the related Seller in accordance with Subsections 2.02(a) or (b) above, the related Seller shall remit to the Master Servicer the Purchase Price for deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account and the Seller shall provide to the Trustee written notification detailing the components of the Purchase Price. Upon deposit of the Purchase Price in the Master Servicer Collection Account, the Depositor shall notify the Trustee and the Custodian, as agent of the Trustee (upon receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit D-1 and Exhibit D-2 attached hereto, as applicable, with respect to such Mortgage Loan), shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, representation or warranty, furnished to it by the related Seller, as are necessary to vest in the related Seller title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan. Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Purchase Price in immediately available funds is received by the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such repurchase and shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies, the related Seller and the Trustee of such amendment. The obligation of the related Seller to repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan as to which such a defect in a constituent document exists shall be the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the related Certificateholders or to the Trustee on their behalf.
 
Section 2.03                                Assignment of Interest in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
 
(a)           The Depositor hereby assigns to the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders of the Certificates, all of its right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including but not limited to the Depositor’s rights and obligations pursuant to the Servicing Agreements (noting that the Seller has retained the right in the event of breach of the representations, warranties and covenants, if any, with respect to the related Mortgage Loans of the related Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement to enforce the provisions thereof and to seek all or any available remedies). The obligations of the related Seller to substitute or repurchase, as applicable, a Mortgage Loan shall be the Trustee’s and the related Certificateholders’ sole remedy for any breach thereof. At the request of the Trustee, the Depositor shall take such actions as may be necessary to enforce the above right, title and interest on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or shall execute such further documents as the Trustee may reasonably require in order to enable the Trustee to carry out such enforcement.
 
(b)           If the Depositor or the Trustee discovers a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, which breach materially and adversely affects the value of the interests of related Certificateholders or the Trustee in the related Mortgage Loan, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice of the breach to the other parties to this Agreement.  EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding), within 90 days of its discovery or receipt of notice that such breach has occurred (whichever occurs earlier), shall cure the breach in all material respects or, subject to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, shall purchase the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto from the Trustee; provided, however, that if there is a breach of any representation set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, and the Mortgage Loan or the related property acquired with respect thereto has been sold, then EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding) shall pay, in lieu of the Purchase Price, any excess of the Purchase Price over the Net Liquidation Proceeds received upon such sale; provided further that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered. If the Net Liquidation Proceeds exceed the Purchase Price, any excess shall be paid to EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding) to the extent not required by law to be paid to the borrower. Any such purchase by EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding) shall be made by providing an amount equal to the Purchase Price to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account and written notification detailing the components of such Purchase Price to the Master Servicer. The Depositor shall notify the Trustee and submit to the Custodian, as agent for the Trustee, a Request for Release, and the Custodian shall release, or the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release, to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment furnished to it by EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding), without recourse, representation or warranty as are necessary to vest in the related Seller title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto. Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Purchase Price in available funds is received by the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such repurchase and shall promptly notify the EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding), the Trustee and the Rating Agencies of such amendment. Enforcement of the obligation of the Seller to purchase (or substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for) any Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto (or pay the Purchase Price as set forth in the above proviso) as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee on their behalf.
 
In connection with any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or the cure of a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.03, EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding) shall, or cause the related Servicer to, furnish to the Trustee an officer’s certificate, signed by a duly authorized officer of the related Seller or the related Servicer, as the case may be, to the effect that such repurchase or cure has been made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that all conditions precedent to such repurchase or cure have been satisfied, including, in the case of a repurchase, the delivery to the Trustee of the Purchase Price or the excess of the Purchase Price over the Net Liquidation Proceeds, if applicable, for deposit into the Distribution Account, together with copies of the Opinion of Counsel, if any, required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.08 and the related Request for Release, on which the Trustee may rely.  Solely for purposes of the Trustee providing an Assessment of Compliance, upon receipt of the documentation specified in the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall approve such repurchase or cure, as applicable, and which approval shall be based solely on the Trustee’s receipt of such documentation and deposits, if applicable.  It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of the Seller to cure the breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or to repurchase or substitute any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedies against the related Seller respecting such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee.
 
Section 2.04                                Substitution of Mortgage Loans.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in lieu of purchasing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Sections 2.02 or 2.03 of this Agreement, EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding) may, no later than the date by which such purchase by the related Seller would otherwise be required, tender to the Trustee a Substitute Mortgage Loan accompanied by a certificate of an authorized officer of the Seller that such Substitute Mortgage Loan conforms to the requirements set forth in the definition of “Substitute Mortgage Loan” in this Agreement; provided, however, that substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, in lieu of purchase shall not be permitted after the termination of the two-year period beginning on the Startup Day; provided, further, that if the breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date the breach was discovered. The Custodian, as agent for the Trustee, shall examine the Mortgage File for any Substitute Mortgage Loan in the manner set forth in Section 2.02(a) and the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall notify EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding), in writing, within five Business Days after receipt, whether or not the documents relating to the Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfy the requirements of Subsection 2.02(a). Within two Business Days after such notification, EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding) shall provide to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account the amount, if any, by which the Outstanding Principal Balance as of the next preceding Due Date of the Mortgage Loan for which substitution is being made, after giving effect to the Scheduled Principal due on such date, exceeds the Outstanding Principal Balance as of such date of the Substitute Mortgage Loan, after giving effect to Scheduled Principal due on such date, which amount shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as if it were the payment by EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding) of the Purchase Price for the purchase of a Mortgage Loan by EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding). After such notification to EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding) and, if any such excess exists, upon receipt of such deposit, the Trustee shall accept such Substitute Mortgage Loan which shall thereafter be deemed to be a Mortgage Loan hereunder. In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the Substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Trust Fund and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the related Seller. The Scheduled Principal on a Substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the related Seller and the Scheduled Principal on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on such Due Date shall be the property of the Trust Fund. Upon acceptance of the Substitute Mortgage Loan (and delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release for such Mortgage Loan), the Custodian, as agent for the Trustee, shall release to the related Seller the related Mortgage File related to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, and shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, representation or warranty in form as provided to it as are necessary to vest in the related Seller title to and rights under any Mortgage Loan released pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable. EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding) shall deliver to the Custodian the documents related to the Substitute Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Subsections 2.01(b) and 2.02(b) of this Agreement, as applicable, with the date of acceptance of the Substitute Mortgage Loan deemed to be the Closing Date for purposes of the time periods set forth in those Subsections. The representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to have been made by the related Seller with respect to each Substitute Mortgage Loan as of the date of acceptance of such Mortgage Loan by the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such substitution and shall provide a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding), the Trustee and the Rating Agencies.
 
In connection with any substitution of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04 EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding) shall, or cause the related Servicer to, furnish to the Trustee an officer’s certificate, signed by a duly authorized officer of EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding) or the related Servicer, as the case may be, to the effect that such substitution has been made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that all conditions precedent to such substitution have been satisfied, together with copies of the Opinion of Counsel, if any, required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.08 and the related Request for Release, on which the Trustee may rely.  Solely for purposes of the Trustee providing an Assessment of Compliance, upon receipt of the deposit specified in the preceding paragraph, if applicable, and the documentation specified in the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall approve such substitution and which approval shall be based solely on the Trustee’s receipt of such documentation and deposits.  It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding) to substitute any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedies against the Seller respecting such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee.

(a)           The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans and the other assets comprising the Trust Fund and, concurrently therewith, the Trustee has signed, and countersigned and delivered to the Depositor, in exchange therefor, the Certificates in such authorized denominations representing such Fractional Undivided Interests as the Depositor has requested.

Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties. EMC, in its capacity as Seller, hereby covenants with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans, that within 90 days of the discovery of a breach of any representation or warranty set forth therein that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach is not so cured, (i) if such 90 day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Replacement Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth below; provided that any such substitution pursuant to (i) above or repurchase pursuant to (ii) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel if required by Section 2.08 hereof and any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the applicable Custodian of a Request for Release; provided further that, if such breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered. The Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the parties hereto of EMC’s failure to cure such breach as set forth in the preceding sentence. EMC shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach. To enable the Master Servicer to amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule, EMC shall, unless it cures such breach in a timely fashion pursuant to this Section 2.07, promptly notify the Master Servicer whether it intends either to repurchase, or to substitute for, the Mortgage Loan affected by such breach. With respect to the representations and warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are made to the best of EMC’s knowledge, if it is discovered by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, EMC or the Trustee that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding EMC’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, EMC (in its capacity as Seller) shall nevertheless be required to cure, substitute for or repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan in accordance with the foregoing.
 
With respect to any Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, EMC (in its capacity as Seller) shall deliver to the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf for the benefit of the Certificateholders such documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01. No substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such substitution must be done within two years of the Closing Date. Scheduled Payments due with respect to Replacement Mortgage Loans in the Due Period related to the Distribution Date on which such proceeds are to be distributed shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by EMC (in its capacity as Seller). For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the Scheduled Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for the related Due Period and thereafter EMC (in its capacity as Seller) shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of each such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Master Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the related Custodian. Upon such substitution, the Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and EMC shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 7 or Section 8 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit into the Master Servicer Collection Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph and receipt by the related Custodian of a Request for Release for such Mortgage Loan, the related Custodian shall release to EMC the Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan and held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at EMC’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment as have been prepared by EMC, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty as shall be necessary to vest in EMC, or its respective designee, title to the Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.07.
 
For any month in which EMC substitutes one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all the Replacement Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the Stated Principal Balance (after application of the principal portion of the Scheduled Payment due in the month of substitution) of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. An amount equal to the aggregate of such deficiencies, described in the preceding sentence for any Distribution Date (such amount, the “Substitution Adjustment Amount”) shall be deposited into the Master Servicer Collection Account, by EMC upon its delivering such Replacement Mortgage Loan on the Determination Date for the Distribution Date relating to the Prepayment Period during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.
 
In the event that EMC (in its capacity as Seller) shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited into the Master Servicer Collection Account maintained by the Master Servicer, on the Determination Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month during which EMC became obligated to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and upon such deposit of the Purchase Price, the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel if required by Section 2.08 and the receipt of a Request for Release, the related Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to EMC, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at such Person’s direction the related instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by EMC, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and transfer the Trustee’s interest to EMC to any Mortgage Loan purchased pursuant to this Section 2.07. It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of EMC to cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedies against EMC (in its capacity as Seller) respecting such breach available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee.
 
The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.07 hereof shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Loans and Mortgage Files to the Trustee or the related Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
 
Section 2.08                                Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with Substitutions and Repurchases.
 
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or as to which default is not imminent, no repurchase or substitution pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 or 2.07 shall be made unless the Seller delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that such repurchase or substitution would not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on “prohibited transactions” of the any REMIC or contributions after the Closing Date, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. Any Mortgage Loan as to which repurchase or substitution was delayed pursuant to this paragraph shall be repurchased or the substitution therefor shall occur (subject to compliance with Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 or 2.07) upon the earlier of (a) the occurrence of a default or imminent default with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (b) receipt by the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that such repurchase or substitution, as applicable, will not result in the events described in clause (i) or clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.
 
 
 
ARTICLE III
Administration of the Trust Fund and Servicing of Mortgage Loans
 
Section 3.01                                Master Servicer.
 
The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the Servicers to service and administer their respective Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and administration. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with each Servicer as necessary from time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by each Servicer and shall cause each Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by such Servicer under its applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor each Servicer’s servicing activities with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicers’ and Master Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, the Master Servicer shall provide such information to the Trustee, in the form of Exhibit R attached hereto and as shall be necessary in order for it to prepare the statements specified in Section 6.05(a) by 12:00 p.m. CST on the 5th Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, and prepare any other information and statements required to be forwarded by the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, in no event shall the Master Servicer be required to provide such information to the Trustee earlier than 12:00 p.m. CST on the 19th calendar day of the month. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicers pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement.  The Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Mortgage Loan data provided by the related Servicer and shall have no liability for any errors in such Mortgage Loan data.
 
In addition to the foregoing, in connection with a modification of any Mortgage Loan by a Servicer, if the Master Servicer is unable to enforce the obligations of the Servicer with respect to such modification, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor of such Servicer’s failure to comply with the terms of the Servicing Agreement or this Agreement.  If the Servicing Agreement requires the approval of the Master Servicer for a modification to a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall approve such modification if, based upon its receipt of written notification from the related Servicer outlining the terms of such modification and appropriate supporting documentation, the Master Servicer determines that the modification is permitted under the terms of the Servicing Agreement and that any conditions to such modification set forth in the Servicing Agreement have been satisfied.  Furthermore, if the Servicing Agreement requires the oversight and monitoring of loss mitigation measures with respect to the related Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will monitor any loss mitigation procedure or recovery action related to a defaulted Mortgage Loan (to the extent it receives notice of such from the related Servicer) and confirm that such loss mitigation procedure or recovery action is initiated, conducted and concluded in accordance with any timeframes and any other requirements set forth in the Servicing Agreement, and the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor in any case in which the Master Servicer believes that the related Servicer is not complying with such timeframes and/or other requirements.
 
The Trustee shall furnish the Servicers and the Master Servicer with any powers of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit P hereto and upon written request from a Servicing Officer other documents in form as provided to it necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicers and the Master Servicer to service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property. The Trustee shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer for any costs, liabilities or expenses incurred by it in connection with such powers of attorney.
 
The Trustee or the Custodian shall provide access to the records and documentation in possession of the Trustee regarding the Mortgage Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof to the related Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the office of the Trustee; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law, the Trustee shall not be required to provide access to such records and documentation if the provision thereof would violate the legal right to privacy of any Mortgagor. The Trustee shall allow representatives of the above entities to photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that covers the Trustee’s actual costs.
 
The Trustee shall execute upon the related Servicer’s written instruction (which includes the documents to be signed) and deliver to the related Servicer and the Master Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other appropriate documents necessary or desirable to (i) the foreclosure or trustee’s sale with respect to a Mortgaged Property; (ii) any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Security Instrument; (iii) obtain a deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor; or (iv) enforce any other rights or remedies provided by the Mortgage Note or Security Instrument or otherwise available at law or equity.
 
Section 3.02                                Tax Entity-Related Covenants.
 
For as long as REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III and the ES Trust shall exist, the Trustee shall act in accordance herewith to assure continuing treatment of each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III as a REMIC and the ES Trust as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes, and the Trustee shall comply with any directions of the Depositor, the related Servicer or the Master Servicer to ensure such continuing treatment.  In particular, the Trustee shall not (unless expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement) (a) sell or permit the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any investment of deposits in an Account unless such sale is as a result of a repurchase of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement or the Trustee has received a REMIC Opinion addressed to the Trustee prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund; (b) other than with respect to a substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, Section 2.04 or Section 2.07 of this Agreement, as applicable, accept any contribution to REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III after the Startup Day without receipt of a REMIC Opinion addressed to the Trustee; (c) acquire any assets for REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III other than any REO Property after the Startup Day without receipt of a REMIC Opinion; or (d) vary the corpus of the ES Trust.
 
Section 3.03                                Monitoring of Servicers.
 
(a)           The Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to the Trustee and the Depositor the non-compliance by each Servicer with its duties under the related Servicing Agreement. In the review of each Servicer’s activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an officer’s certificate of the Servicer (or similar document signed by an officer of the Servicer) with regard to the Servicer’s compliance with the terms of its Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that a Servicer (other than the Company) should be terminated in accordance with its Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to such Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate.  In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that the Company should be terminated in accordance with the EMC Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to the EMC Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee thereof in writing. Pursuant to its receipt of such written notification from the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall issue such notice of termination to the Company or take such other action as it deems appropriate.
 
 (b)           The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a Servicer, other than the Company, fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or to cause the Trustee to enter into a new Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer selected by the Master Servicer; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such successor Servicer. In the event that the Company fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the EMC Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee in writing of such failure. Pursuant to its receipt of such notification from the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall terminate the rights and obligations of the Company under the EMC Servicing Agreement and enter in to a new Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer selected by the Trustee; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such successor Servicer. In either event, such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of the Servicing Agreements and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer (or in the case the Company is terminated as the Servicer, the successor servicer or the Trustee, as applicable) in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action. In the event that the Company is terminated as the Servicer, the Trustee shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, subject to its right to be reimbursed for such costs from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.03(c); provided that the Trustee shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Trustee shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action. Nothing herein shall impose any obligation on the part of the Trustee to assume or succeed to the duties or obligations of the Company or the Master Servicer unless the Trustee has not been able to find a successor servicer or a successor master servicer.
 
(c)           In the event that the Company is terminated as Servicer, to the extent that the costs and expenses of the Trustee related to any termination of the Company, or the enforcement or prosecution of related claims, rights or remedies, or the appointment of a successor Servicer (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Company as a result of an event of default by the Company as a Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the Company after such termination, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Distribution Account.  In all other cases, to the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer related to any termination of a Servicer (other than the Company), appointment of a successor Servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with respect to any Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an event of default by such Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Master Servicer Collection Account.
 
(d)           The Master Servicer shall require each Servicer to comply with the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in the related Servicing Agreement.
 
(e)           If the Master Servicer acts as a servicer, it shall not be liable for losses of the predecessor Servicer or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer, or deemed to have made any representations and warranties of the related Servicer, if any, that it replaces.
 
Section 3.04                                Fidelity Bond.
 
The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on such Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The errors and omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or trustees.
 
Section 3.05                                Power to Act; Procedures.
 
The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of Article X hereof, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Holders of the Certificates and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities under Section 3.03, shall not authorize any Servicer to) knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, may cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Master Servicer) to the effect that the contemplated action would not cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III. The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing Officer, with any powers of attorney empowering the Master Servicer or any Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or any Servicer). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 9.11 hereof. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall, except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Trust, not be deemed to be the agent of the Trust.
 
Section 3.06                                Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
 
To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, to the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicers to enforce such clauses in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.
 
Section 3.07                                Release of Mortgage Files.
 
(a)           Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by any Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes for payment to related Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date, the Servicer will, if required under the applicable Servicing Agreement (or if the applicable Servicer does not, the Master Servicer may), promptly furnish to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, two copies of a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit D (or as otherwise provided in the Custodial Agreement) hereto signed by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment that are required to be deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the applicable Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01 or by the applicable Servicer pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement have been or will be so deposited) and shall request that the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, deliver to the applicable Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the applicable Servicer and the Trustee and Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, each Servicer is authorized, to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the 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 such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the applicable Protected Account.
 
(b)           From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, upon written instruction from such Servicer or the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Trustee by a Servicer or the Master Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, upon the request of a Servicer or the Master Servicer, and delivery to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, of two copies of a request for release signed by a Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit D (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer), release the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the Servicer or the Master Servicer. Such trust receipt shall obligate the Servicer or the Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, when the need therefor by the Servicer or the Master Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the Mortgage File shall be released by the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to the Servicer or the Master Servicer.
 
Section 3.08                                Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer to Be Held for Trustee.
 
(a)           The Master Servicer shall transmit and each Servicer (to the extent required by the related Servicing Agreement) shall transmit to the Trustee or Custodian such documents and instruments coming into the possession of the Master Servicer or such Servicer from time to time as are required by the terms hereof, or in the case of the Servicers, the applicable Servicing Agreement, to be delivered to the Trustee or Custodian. Any funds received by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders subject to the right of the Master Servicer to retain or withdraw from the Master Servicer Collection Account the Master Servicing Compensation and other amounts provided in this Agreement, and to the right of each Servicer to retain or withdraw its Servicing Fee and other amounts as provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer and each Servicer shall provide access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, its agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, to related Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or other regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such information.
 
(b)           All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and the related Certificateholders and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer or such Servicer to the extent provided under this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement.
 
Section 3.09                                Standard Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance Policies.
 
(a)           For each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the Servicers under the related Servicing Agreement to maintain or cause to be maintained standard fire and casualty insurance and, where applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the provisions of the related Servicing Agreement. It is understood and agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in the applicable Servicing Agreement and that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained on property acquired in respect of a defaulted loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.
 
(b)           Pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.02, any amounts collected by the Servicers or the Master Servicer, or by any Servicer, under any insurance policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement) shall be deposited into the Master Servicer Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.02 and 4.03. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or any Servicer in maintaining any such insurance if the Mortgagor defaults in its obligation to do so shall be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan where the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the distributions to be made to Certificateholders and shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer or such Servicer pursuant to Sections 4.02 and 4.03.
 
Section 3.10                                Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.
 
The Master Servicer shall (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) cause the related Servicer to prepare and present on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under the Insurance Policies and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed to a Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such policies, bonds or contracts shall be promptly deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account for deposit in the Distribution Account upon receipt, except that any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property, which repair or restoration the owner of such Mortgaged Property or EMC, as applicable, has agreed to make as a condition precedent to the presentation of claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any applicable Insurance Policy need not be so deposited (or remitted).

(a)           The Master Servicer shall not take, or authorize any Servicer (to the extent such action is prohibited under the applicable Servicing Agreement) to take, any action that would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Master Servicer or such Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

Until all amounts distributable in respect of the Certificates have been distributed in full and the Master Servicer otherwise has fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement, the Trustee (or its Custodian, if any, as directed by the Trustee) shall also retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian, as directed by the Trustee), upon the execution or receipt thereof the originals of any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, any certificates of renewal, and such other documents or instruments that constitute portions of the Mortgage File that come into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time.

The Master Servicer shall, to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, cause the applicable Servicer to sell any REO Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall cause the applicable Servicer to protect and conserve, such REO Property in the manner and to the extent required by the applicable Servicing Agreement, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions and in a manner that does not result in a tax on “net income from foreclosure property” or cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code.

The Master Servicer shall deliver (or otherwise make available) to the Depositor and the Trustee not later than March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2008, an Officer’s Certificate (an “Annual Statement of Compliance”) stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of its performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout 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 of the cure provisions thereof.  Such Annual Statement of Compliance shall contain no restrictions or limitations on its use.  The Master Servicer shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer, to the extent set forth in the related Servicing Agreement, to deliver a similar Annual Statement of Compliance by that Servicer to the Depositor and the Trustee as described above as and when required with respect to the Master Servicer.  In the event that certain servicing responsibilities with respect to any Mortgage Loan have been delegated by the Master Servicer or a Servicer to a subservicer or subcontractor, each such entity shall cause such subservicer or subcontractor (and with respect to each Servicer, the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of such Servicer to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to deliver a similar Annual Statement of Compliance by such subservicer or subcontractor to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee as described above as and when required with respect to the Master Servicer or the related Servicer (as the case may be).

Failure of the Master Servicer to comply with this Section 3.16 (including with respect to the timeframes required herein) shall be deemed an Event of Default, and at the written direction of the Depositor the Trustee shall, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Master Servicer for the same (but subject to the Master Servicer’s rights to payment of any Master Servicing Compensation and reimbursement of all amounts for which it is entitled to be reimbursed prior to the date of termination). This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

In the event the Master Servicer, any Servicer or any subservicer or subcontractor engaged by either such party is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any other applicable agreement in the case of a Servicer, a subservicer or subcontractor, as the case may be, such party shall provide an Annual Statement of Compliance pursuant to this Section 3.16 or to the related section of such other applicable agreement, as the case may be, as to the performance of its obligations with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or any other applicable agreement, as the case may be notwithstanding any such termination or resignation.

Pursuant to Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB, each of the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian (to the extent set forth in this Section) (each, an “Attesting Party”), each at its own expense, shall deliver (or otherwise make available) to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor on or before March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2008, a report regarding such Attesting Party’s assessment of compliance (an “Assessment of Compliance”) with the Servicing Criteria during the preceding calendar year.  The Assessment of Compliance, as set forth in Regulation AB, must contain the following:
 
(a)           A statement by an authorized officer of such Attesting Party of its authority and responsibility for assessing compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the related Attesting Party;
 
(b)           A statement by an authorized officer that such Attesting Party used the Servicing Criteria attached as Exhibit L hereto, and which will also be attached to the Assessment of Compliance, to assess compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the related Attesting Party;
 
(c)           An assessment by such officer of the related Attesting Party’s compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year, including disclosure of any material instance of noncompliance with respect thereto during such period, which assessment shall be based on the activities such Attesting Party performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the related Attesting Party, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans;
 
(d)           A statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the related Attesting Party’s Assessment of Compliance for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year; and
 
(e)           A statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable to the related Attesting Party, which statement shall be based on the activities such Attesting Party performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving such Attesting Party, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans.
 
Such report at a minimum shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit L hereto which are indicated as applicable to the related Attesting Party.
 
On or before March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2008, each Attesting Party shall furnish to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee a report (an “Attestation Report”) by a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the Assessment of Compliance made by the related Attesting Party, as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB, which Attestation Report must be made in accordance with standards for attestation reports issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
 
The Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of each Servicer to deliver to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report as and when provided in the related Servicing Agreement. Each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall cause, and the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation (as and when provided in the related Servicing Agreement) of each Servicer to cause, any subservicer and each subcontractor (to the extent such subcontractor is determined by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB) that is engaged by such Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to deliver to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report as and when provided above. Such Assessment of Compliance, as to any subservicer or subcontractor, shall at a minimum address the applicable Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit L hereto which are indicated as applicable to any “primary servicer” to the extent such subservicer or subcontractor is performing any servicing function for the party who engages it and to the extent such party is not itself addressing the Servicing Criteria related to such servicing function in its own Assessment of Compliance.  The Master Servicer shall confirm that each of the Assessments of Compliance delivered to it, taken as a whole, address all of the Servicing Criteria and taken individually address the Servicing Criteria for each party as set forth in Exhibit L and notify the Depositor of any exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to any subcontractor, an Assessment of Compliance is not required to be delivered unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund.
 
The Custodian shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit L hereto which are indicated as applicable to a “custodian”.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report is not required to be delivered by any Custodian unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund.

Failure of the Master Servicer to comply with this Section 3.17 (including with respect to the timeframes required herein) shall constitute an Event of Default, and at the written direction of the Depositor the Trustee shall, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Master Servicer for the same (but subject to the Master Servicer’s rights to payment of any Master Servicing Compensation and reimbursement of all amounts for which it is entitled to be reimbursed prior to the date of termination).  Failure of the Trustee to comply with this Section 3.17 (including with respect to the timeframes required in this Section) which failure results in a failure to timely file the related Form 10-K, shall be deemed a default which may result in the termination of the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.08 of this Agreement and the Depositor may, in addition to whatever rights the Depositor may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Trustee under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Trustee for the same (but subject to the Trustee’s right to reimbursement of all amounts for which it is entitled to be reimbursed prior to the date of termination).  This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

In the event the Master Servicer, the Custodian, the Trustee or any subservicer or subcontractor engaged by any such party is terminated, assigns its rights and obligations under, or resigns pursuant to, the terms of the Agreement, the related Custodial Agreement, or any other applicable agreement in the case of a subservicer or subcontractor, as the case may be, such party shall provide an Assessment of Compliance and cause to be provided an Attestation Report pursuant to this Section 3.17 or to the related section of such other applicable agreement, as the case may be, notwithstanding any such termination, assignment or resignation.

(D) Each Form 10-K shall include a certification (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Certification”) required to be included therewith pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which shall be signed by the Certifying Person and delivered to the Trustee no later than March 15th of each year in which the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.  The Master Servicer shall cause any Servicer, and any subservicer or subcontractor engaged by it to, provide to the Person who signs the Sarbanes-Oxley Certification (the “Certifying Person”), by March 15th of each year in which the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (or such other date specified in the related Servicing Agreement) and otherwise within a reasonable period of time upon request, a certification (each, a “Back-Up Certification”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K, upon which the Certifying Person, the entity for which the Certifying Person acts as an officer, and such entity’s officers, directors and Affiliates (collectively with the Certifying Person, “Certification Parties”) can reasonably rely.  An officer of the Master Servicer in charge of the master servicing function shall serve as the Certifying Person on behalf of the Trust.  Such officer of the Certifying Person can be contacted as set forth in Section 11.07.  In connection with the filing of any Form 10-K hereunder, the Trustee shall sign a Back-Up Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit Q; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to undertake an analysis of any accountant’s report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K.  In the event the Trustee is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any subcontractor or subservicer is terminated pursuant to the related servicing agreement, the Trustee, subcontractor or subservicer, as applicable, shall provide a Back-Up Certification to the Certifying Person pursuant to this Section 3.18(b) with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or the related servicing agreement, as applicable.
 
(iv) With respect to any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or any Form 8-K Disclosure Information (collectively, the “Additional Disclosure”) relating to the Trust Fund, the Trustee’s obligation to include such Additional Information in the applicable Exchange Act report is subject to receipt from the entity that is indicated in Exhibit M as the responsible party for providing that information, if other than the Trustee, as and when required as described in Section 3.18(a)(i) through (iii) above.  Such Additional Disclosure shall be accompanied by a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit N.  Each of the Master Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Depositor hereby agrees to notify and provide, and the Master Servicer agrees to enforce the obligations (to the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement) of each Servicer to notify and provide, to the extent known to the Trustee and the Depositor all Additional Disclosure relating to the Trust Fund, with respect to which such party is indicated in Exhibit M as the responsible party for providing that information.  The Depositor shall be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Trustee in connection with including any Additional Disclosure information pursuant to this Section.

(B) In the event that the Trustee is unable to timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K required to be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement or for any other reason, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Depositor and the Master Servicer.  In the case of Form 10-D and Form 10-K, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a 10-DA and 10-KA as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act.  In the case of Form 8-K, the Trustee will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure information on the next Form 10-D.  In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K needs to be amended, and such amendment relates to any Additional Disclosure, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor and the parties affected thereby and such parties will cooperate to prepare any necessary Form 8-K, 10-DA or 10-KA.  Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K shall be signed by an appropriate officer of the Master Servicer.  The parties hereto acknowledge that the performance by the Master Servicer and the Trustee of their respective duties under this Section 3.18(a)(v) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is contingent upon the Master Servicer and the Depositor timely performing their duties under this Section.  Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from a party’s failure to deliver on a timely basis, any information from such party needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
 
The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Trustee, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this Section 3.18; provided, however, the Trustee shall cooperate with the Depositor in connection with any additional filings with respect to the Trust Fund as the Depositor deems necessary under the Exchange Act. Copies of all reports filed by the Trustee under the Exchange Act shall be available on the Trustee’s website initially located at www.usbank.com/abs.  Fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with this Section 3.18 shall not be reimbursable from the Trust Fund.

The Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and the Master Servicer and each of 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 or based upon a breach of the obligations of the Depositor under Sections 3.16, 3.17 and 3.18 or the Depositor’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. In addition, the Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer, the Trustee and each of 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 reasonable costs and expenses arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Additional Disclosure provided by the Depositor that is required to be filed pursuant to this Section 3.18 (the “Depositor Information”), or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the Depositor Information that is required to be filed and not to any other information communicated in connection with the Certificates, without regard to whether the Depositor Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information.
 
The Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and the Depositor and each of its 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 reasonable costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the obligations of the Master Servicer under Sections 3.16, 3.17 and 3.18 or the Master Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.  In addition, the Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and each of 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 or based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Annual Statement of Compliance, any Assessment of Compliance, any Attestation Report or any Additional Disclosure or other information provided by the Master Servicer on its behalf or on behalf of any subservicer or subcontractor engaged by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.16, 3.17 or 3.18 (the “Master Servicer Information”), or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the Master Servicer Information and not to any other information communicated in connection with the Certificates, without regard to whether the Master Servicer Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information.

(v)            The Purchase Price with respect to any Mortgage Loans purchased by the Seller pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Sections 2.02 or 2.03 hereof, any amounts which are to be treated pursuant to Section 2.04 of this Agreement as the payment of a Purchase Price in connection with the tender of a Substitute Mortgage Loan by the Seller, the Purchase Price with respect to any Mortgage Loans purchased by the Seller pursuant to Section 3.21, and all proceeds of any Mortgage Loans or property acquired with respect thereto repurchased by the Depositor or its designee pursuant to Section 10.01;

(vii)           Any other amounts received by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to this Agreement.
 
(c)           All amounts deposited to the Distribution Account shall be held by the Trustee in the name of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.  In the event that the Master Servicer shall deposit or remit for deposit to the Distribution Account any amount not required to be credited thereto, the Trustee, upon receipt of a written request therefor signed by a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer, shall promptly transfer such amount to the Master Servicer, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
 
(d)           The Distribution Account shall constitute a trust account of the Trust Fund segregated on the books of the Trustee and held by the Trustee in trust in its Corporate Trust Office, and the Distribution Account and the funds deposited therein shall not be subject to, and shall be protected from, all claims, liens, and encumbrances of any creditors or depositors of the Trustee or the Master Servicer (whether made directly, or indirectly through a liquidator or receiver of the Trustee or the Master Servicer).

The amount at any time credited to the Distribution Account shall be (i) held in cash and eligible account or (ii) invested in the name of the Trustee, in such Permitted Investments as may be selected by the Trustee or deposited in demand deposits with such depository institutions as may be selected by the Trustee, provided that time deposits of such depository institutions would be a Permitted Investment.

All investment earnings on amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account or benefit from funds uninvested therein from time to time shall be for the account of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be permitted to withdraw or receive distribution of any and all investment earnings from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date. If there is any loss on a Permitted Investment or demand deposit, the Trustee shall deposit the amount of the loss from its own funds in the Distribution Account not later than the applicable Distribution Date on which the moneys so invested are required to be distributed to the Certificateholders. With respect to the Distribution Account and the funds deposited therein, the Master Servicer shall take such action as may be necessary to ensure that the related Certificateholders shall be entitled to the priorities afforded to such a trust account (in addition to a claim against the estate of the Trustee) as provided by 12 U.S.C. § 92a(e), and applicable regulations pursuant thereto, if applicable, or any applicable comparable state statute applicable to state chartered banking corporations.

(iv)                 to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Servicer for advances of funds (other than Monthly Advances) made with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and the right to reimbursement pursuant to this subclause being limited to (1) amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan (including, for this purpose, the Purchase Price therefor, Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries) which represent late recoveries of the payments for which such advances were made and (2) to the extent of Amounts Held for Future Distributions with respect to the  related Loan Group;

(c)           On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the Available Funds to the extent on deposit in the Distribution Account to the Holders of the Certificates in accordance with Section 6.01.
 

 
ARTICLE V
Certificates
 
Section 5.01                                Certificates.
 
(a)           The Depository and the Depositor signing on behalf of the Issuing Entity have entered into a Depository Agreement dated as of the Closing Date (the “Depository Agreement”). The Non-Offered Certificates (which are also Physical Certificates) and the Individual Certificates and as provided in Subsection 5.01(b), the 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 a successor to the Depository; (ii) ownership and transfers of registration of such Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iii) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (iv) the Trustee shall deal with the Depository as representative of such Certificate Owners of the respective Class of Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of the related Certificateholders 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; and (v) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants.
 
The Residual Certificates and the Non-Offered Subordinate Certificates are initially Physical Certificates. If at any time the Holders of all of the Certificates of one or more such Classes request that the Trustee cause such Class to become Global Certificates, the Trustee and the Depositor will take such action as may be reasonably required to cause the Depository to accept such Class or Classes for trading if it may legally be so traded.
 
All transfers by Certificate Owners of such respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates and any Global 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 it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures.
 
(b)           If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor within 30 days or (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository, the Trustee shall request that the Depository notify all Certificate Owners of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully registered Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue 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.
 
(c)           (i)           REMIC I will be evidenced by (x) the REMIC I Regular Interests, which will be uncertificated and non-transferable and are hereby designated as the “regular interests” in REMIC I and have the initial principal amounts and accrue interest at the Pass-Through Rates equal to those set forth in this Section 5.01(c)(i) and (y) the Class I-R-1 Certificates, which are hereby designated as representing the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC I.

With respect to each Distribution Date and each such Class of Certificates, interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months, based upon the respective Pass-Through Rate set forth, or determined as provided, above and the Current Principal Amount (or Notional Amount in the case of the Interest Only Certificates) of such Class applicable to such Distribution Date.
 
(f)           The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms set forth in Exhibits A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4 or A-5, as applicable. On original issuance, the Trustee shall sign, countersign and shall deliver them at the direction of the Depositor. Pending the preparation of Definitive Certificates of any Class, the Trustee may sign and countersign temporary Certificates that are printed, lithographed or typewritten, in authorized denominations for Certificates of such Class, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers or authorized signatories executing such Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Certificates. If temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause Definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the office of the Trustee, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Trustee shall sign and countersign and deliver in exchange therefor a like aggregate principal amount, in authorized denominations for such Class, of Definitive Certificates of the same Class. Until so exchanged, such temporary Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits as Definitive Certificates.
 
(g)           Each Class of Book-Entry Certificates will be registered as a single Certificate of such Class held by a nominee of the Depository or the DTC Custodian, and beneficial interests will be held by investors through the book-entry facilities of the Depository in minimum denominations of (i) in the case of the Senior Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates), $100,000 and in each case increments of $1.00 in excess thereof, and (ii) in the case of the Subordinate Certificates, $100,000 and increments of $1.00 in excess thereof, except that one Certificate of each such Class may be issued in a different amount so that the sum of the denominations of all outstanding Certificates of such Class shall equal the Current Principal Amount of such Class on the Closing Date. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall execute and countersign Physical Certificates all in an aggregate principal amount that shall equal the Current Principal Amount of such Class on the Closing Date. The Non-Offered Certificates shall be issued in certificated fully-registered form in minimum dollar denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof, except that one of each of the Non-Offered Certificates of each Class may be issued in a different amount so that the sum of the denominations of all outstanding related Non-Offered Certificates of such Class shall equal the Current Principal Amount of such Class on the Closing Date. Each of the Class R Certificates shall be issued in certificated fully-registered form, in the denomination of $50. Each Class of Global Certificates, if any, shall be issued in fully registered form in minimum dollar denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof, except that one Certificate of each Class may be in a different denomination so that the sum of the denominations of all outstanding Certificates of such Class shall equal the Current Principal Amount of such Class on the Closing Date. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall execute and countersign (i) in the case of each Class of the Offered Certificates, the Certificate in the entire Current Principal Amount of the respective Class and (ii) in the case of each Class of the Non-Offered Certificates, Individual Certificates all in an aggregate principal amount that shall equal the Current Principal Amount of each such respective Class on the Closing Date. The Certificates referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) and if at any time there are to be Global Certificates, the Global Certificates shall be delivered by the Depositor to the Depository or pursuant to the Depository’s instructions, shall be delivered by the Depositor on behalf of the Depository to and deposited with the DTC Custodian. The Trustee shall sign the Certificates by facsimile or manual signature and countersign them by manual signature on behalf of the Trustee by one or more authorized signatories, each of whom shall be Responsible Officers of the Trustee or its agent. A Certificate bearing the manual and facsimile signatures of individuals who were the authorized signatories of the Trustee or its agent at the time of issuance shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such positions prior to the delivery of such Certificate.
 
(h)           No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate the manually executed countersignature of the Trustee or its agent, and such countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All Certificates issued on the Closing Date shall be dated the Closing Date. All Certificates issued thereafter shall be dated the date of their countersignature.
 
(i)           The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “startup” day of each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
 
(j)           For federal income tax purposes, each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III shall have a tax year that is a calendar year and shall report income on an accrual basis.
 
(k)           For federal income tax purposes, the Trustee shall treat the Trust as consisting of  the ES Trust and each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III, organized in a tiered structure, beneath the ES Trust, all as further described herein, and on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall cause each such REMIC to timely elect to be treated as a REMIC under Section 860D of the Code. Any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of any trust established hereby shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the validity of such elections and intended tax treatment.
 
(l)           The following legend shall be placed on the Residual Certificates, whether upon original issuance or upon issuance of any other Certificate of any such Class in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof:
 
THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE ACQUIRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY, OR ON BEHALF OF, AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN OR OTHER RETIREMENT ARRANGEMENT WHICH IS SUBJECT TO TITLE I OF THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED, OR SECTION 4975 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED, UNLESS THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE PROVIDES THE TRUSTEE WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ADDRESSED TO THE DEPOSITOR, TRUSTEE AND MASTER SERVICER AND ON WHICH THEY MAY RELY THAT IS SATISFACTORY TO THE TRUSTEE THAT THE PURCHASE OF CERTIFICATES ON BEHALF OF SUCH PERSON WILL NOT RESULT IN OR CONSTITUTE A NONEXEMPT PROHIBITED TRANSACTION, IS PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW AND WILL NOT GIVE RISE TO ANY ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS ON THE PART OF THE DEPOSITOR, THE MASTER SERVICER OR THE TRUSTEE.
 
The following legend shall be placed upon the Class I-B-4, Class I-B-5, Class I-B-6, Class II-B-4, Class II-B-5 and Class II-B-6 Certificates, whether upon original issuance or upon issuance of any other Certificate of any such Class in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof:
 
THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE ACQUIRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY, OR ON BEHALF OF, AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN OR OTHER RETIREMENT ARRANGEMENT WHICH IS SUBJECT TO TITLE I OF THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED, OR SECTION 4975 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED, UNLESS THE TRANSFEREE CERTIFIES OR REPRESENTS THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER AND HOLDING OF A CERTIFICATE AND THE SERVICING, MANAGEMENT AND OPERATION OF THE TRUST AND ITS ASSETS: (I) WILL NOT RESULT IN ANY PROHIBITED TRANSACTION WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER AN INDIVIDUAL OR CLASS PROHIBITED TRANSACTION EXEMPTION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROHIBITED TRANSACTION EXEMPTION (“PTE”) 84-14, PTE 91-38, PTE 90-1, PTE 95-60 OR PTE 96-23 AND (II) WILL NOT GIVE RISE TO ANY ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS ON THE PART OF THE DEPOSITOR, THE MASTER SERVICER OR THE TRUSTEE, WHICH WILL BE DEEMED REPRESENTED BY AN OWNER OF A BOOK-ENTRY CERTIFICATE OR A GLOBAL CERTIFICATE OR UNLESS THE OPINION SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5.07 OF THE AGREEMENT IS PROVIDED.
 
Section 5.02                                Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(b)           Subject to Subsection 5.01(a) and, in the case of any Global Certificate or Physical Certificate upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose, the Trustee shall sign, countersign and shall deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, a new Certificate of a like Class and aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, but bearing a different number.
 
(c)           By acceptance of an Individual Certificate, whether upon original issuance or subsequent transfer, each holder of such a Certificate acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate set forth in the Securities Legend and agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only as provided herein. In addition to the provisions of Subsection 5.02(h), the following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration of transfer of an Individual Certificate to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate:

(ii)           The Trustee shall register the transfer of any Individual Certificate if (x) the transferor has advised the Trustee in writing that the Certificate is being transferred to an Institutional Accredited Investor; and (y) prior to the transfer the transferee furnishes to the Trustee an Investment Letter (and the Trustee shall be fully protected in so doing), provided that, if based upon an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that the delivery of (x) and (y) above are not sufficient to confirm that the proposed transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable laws, the Trustee shall as a condition of the registration of any such transfer require the transferor to furnish such other certifications, legal opinions or other information prior to registering the transfer of an Individual Certificate as shall be set forth in such Opinion of Counsel.
 
(d)           Subject to Subsection 5.02(h), so long as a Global Certificate of such Class is outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depository, transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Certificate, or transfers by holders of Individual Certificates of such Class to transferees that take delivery in the form of beneficial interests in the Global Certificate, may be made only in accordance with this Subsection 5.02(d) and in accordance with the rules of the Depository:
 
(i)           In the case of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate being transferred to an Institutional Accredited Investor, such transferee shall be required to take delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate or Certificates and the Trustee shall register such transfer only upon compliance with the provisions of Subsection 5.02(c)(ii).
 
(ii)           In the case of a beneficial interest in a Class of Global Certificates being transferred to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate or Certificates of such Class, except as set forth in clause (i) above, the Trustee shall register such transfer only upon compliance with the provisions of Subsection 5.02(c)(i).
 
(iii)           In the case of an Individual Certificate of a Class being transferred to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate of such Class, the Trustee shall register such transfer if the transferee has provided the Trustee with a Rule 144A Certificate or comparable evidence as to its QIB status.
 
(iv)           No restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer or registration of transfer of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of a Class to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of such Class; provided that each such transferee shall be deemed to have made such representations and warranties contained in the Rule 144A Certificate as are sufficient to establish that it is a QIB.
 
(e)           Subject to Subsection 5.02(h), an exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate of a Class for an Individual Certificate or Certificates of such Class, an exchange of an Individual Certificate or Certificates of a Class for a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of such Class and an exchange of an Individual Certificate or Certificates of a Class for another Individual Certificate or Certificates of such Class (in each case, whether or not such exchange is made in anticipation of subsequent transfer, and, in the case of the Global Certificate of such Class, so long as such Certificate is outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depository) may be made only in accordance with this Subsection 5.02(e) and in accordance with the rules of the Depository:
 
(i)           A holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate of a Class may at any time exchange such beneficial interest for an Individual Certificate or Certificates of such Class.
 
(ii)           A holder of an Individual Certificate or Certificates of a Class may exchange such Certificate or Certificates for a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of such Class if such holder furnishes to the Trustee a Rule 144A Certificate or comparable evidence as to its QIB status.

(f)           (i)           Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of an Individual Certificate of a Class for a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate of such Class as provided herein, the Trustee shall cancel such Individual Certificate and shall (or shall request the Depository to) endorse on the schedule affixed to the applicable Global Certificate (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to the Global Certificate and made a part thereof) or otherwise make in its books and records an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and an increase in the certificate balance of the Global Certificate equal to the certificate balance of such Individual Certificate exchanged or transferred therefor.
 
(ii)           Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate of a Class for an Individual Certificate of such Class as provided herein, the Trustee shall (or shall request the Depository to) endorse on the schedule affixed to such Global Certificate (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to such Global Certificate and made a part thereof) or otherwise make in its books and records an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and a decrease in the certificate balance of such Global Certificate equal to the certificate balance of such Individual Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof.
 
(g)           The Securities Legend shall be placed on any Individual Certificate issued in exchange for or upon transfer of another Individual Certificate or of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate.
 
(h)           Subject to the restrictions on transfer and exchange set forth in this Section 5.02, the holder of any Individual Certificate may transfer or exchange the same in whole or in part (in an initial certificate balance equal to the minimum authorized denomination set forth in Section 5.01(g) above or any integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof) by surrendering such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office, or at the office of any transfer agent, together with an executed instrument of assignment and transfer satisfactory in form and substance to the Trustee in the case of transfer and a written request for exchange in the case of exchange. The holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, cause the Depository (or its nominee) to notify the Trustee in writing of a request for transfer or exchange of such beneficial interest for an Individual Certificate or Certificates. Following a proper request for transfer or exchange, the Trustee shall, within five Business Days of such request made at the Corporate Trust Office, sign, countersign and deliver at the Corporate Trust Office, to the transferee (in the case of transfer) or holder (in the case of exchange) or send by first class mail at the risk of the transferee (in the case of transfer) or holder (in the case of exchange) to such address as the transferee or holder, as applicable, may request, an Individual Certificate or Certificates, as the case may require, for a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest and in such authorized denomination or denominations as may be requested. The presentation for transfer or exchange of any Individual Certificate shall not be valid unless made at the Corporate Trust Office by the registered holder in person, or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact.
 
(i)           At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations of a like Class and aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office; provided, however, that no Certificate may be exchanged for new Certificates unless the original Fractional Undivided Interest represented by each such new Certificate (i) is at least equal to the minimum authorized denomination or (ii) is acceptable to the Depositor as indicated to the Trustee in writing. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall sign and countersign and the Trustee shall deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
 
(j)           If the Trustee so requires, every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, with a signature guarantee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, duly executed by the holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing.
 
(k)           No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee 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.
 
(l)           The Trustee shall cancel all Certificates surrendered for transfer or exchange but shall retain such Certificates in accordance with its standard retention policy or for such further time as is required by the record retention requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and thereafter may destroy such Certificates.
 
Section 5.03                                Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
 
(a)           If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as it may require to save it harmless, and (iii) the Trustee has not received notice that such Certificate has been acquired by a third Person, the Trustee shall sign, countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Fractional Undivided Interest but in each case bearing a different number. The mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall thereupon be canceled of record by the Trustee and shall be of no further effect and evidence no rights.
 
(b)           Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Trustee 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) connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, 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.
 
Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 6.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee or any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No Certificate shall be deemed duly presented for a transfer effective on any Record Date unless the Certificate to be transferred is presented no later than the close of business on the third Business Day preceding such Record Date.
 
Section 5.05                                Transfer Restrictions on Residual Certificates.
 
(a)           No transfer, sale or other disposition of a Residual Certificate (including a beneficial interest therein) may be made unless, prior to the transfer, sale or other disposition of a Residual Certificate, (1) the proposed transferee (including the initial purchasers thereof) delivers to the Trustee and the Depositor an affidavit and agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E stating, among other things, that as of the date of such transfer such transferee is a Permitted Transferee and a United States Person and that such transferee is not acquiring such Residual Certificate for the account of any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee or a United States Person (a “Transferee Affidavit”), and (2) the proposed transferor delivers to the Trustee and the Depositor an affidavit in the form attached hereto as Exhibit R to the effect that it has no knowledge that the statements made by the proposed transferee in any such Transferee Affidavit are false (a “Transferor Affidavit”). The Tax Matters Person shall not consent to a transfer of a Residual Certificate if it has actual knowledge that any statement made in the Transferee Affidavit or Transferor Affidavit issued pursuant to the preceding sentence is not true. Notwithstanding any transfer, sale or other disposition of a Residual Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, such transfer, sale or other disposition shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be deemed to be a Holder of a Residual Certificate for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions thereon. If any purported transfer shall be in violation of the provisions of this Subsection 5.05(a), then the prior Holder thereof shall, upon discovery that the transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Subsection 5.05(a), be restored to all rights as a Holder thereof retroactive to the date of the purported transfer. None of the Trustee or the Depositor shall be under any liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of a Residual Certificate that is not permitted by this Subsection 5.05(a) or for making payments due on such Residual Certificate to the purported Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such purported Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the related Transferee Affidavit and Transferor Affidavit referred to above were received with respect to such transfer, and the Trustee and the Depositor, as applicable, had no knowledge that they were untrue. The prior Holder shall be entitled to recover from any purported Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a permitted transferee under this Subsection 5.05(a) at the time it became a Holder all payments made on such Residual Certificate. Each Holder of a Residual Certificate, by acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of this Section 5.05 and to any amendment of this Agreement deemed necessary (whether as a result of new legislation or otherwise) by counsel of the Tax Matters Person, the Trustee or the Depositor to ensure that the Residual Certificates are not transferred to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee or a United States Person and that any transfer of such Residual Certificates will not cause the imposition of a tax upon the Trust or cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
 
(c)           The Residual Certificates (including a beneficial interest therein) may not be purchased by or transferred to any Person who is not a United States Person.
 
(d)           By accepting a Residual Certificate, the purchaser thereof agrees to be a Tax Matters Person, and appoints the Trustee to act as its agent with respect to all matters concerning the tax obligations of the Trust.
 
Section 5.06                                Restrictions on Transferability of Non-Offered Certificates.
 
(a)           No offer, sale, transfer or other disposition (including pledge) of any Non-Offered Certificate shall be made by any Holder thereof unless registered under the Securities Act, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws is available and the prospective transferee (other than the Depositor) of such Certificate signs and delivers to the Trustee an Investment Letter, if the transferee is an Institutional Accredited Investor, in the form set forth as Exhibit F-l hereto, or a Rule 144A Certificate, if the transferee is a QIB, in the form set forth as Exhibit F-2 hereto. Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, no restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer or registration of transfer of a beneficial interest in any Non-Offered Certificate that is a Global Certificate of a Class to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of such Class provided that each such transferee shall be deemed to have made such representations and warranties contained in the Rule 144A Certificate as are sufficient to establish that it is a QIB. In the case of a proposed transfer of any Certificate to a transferee other than a QIB, the Trustee may require an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee that such transaction is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The cost of such opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund.
 
(b)           The Non-Offered Certificates shall each bear a Securities Legend.
 
Section 5.07                                ERISA Restrictions.
 
(a)           Subject to the provisions of subsection (b), no Residual Certificates or Non-Offered Subordinate Certificates may be acquired directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, unless the proposed transferee provides either (i) the Trustee, with an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer (upon which they may rely) which is satisfactory to the Trustee, which opinion will not be at the expense of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Master Servicer, that the purchase of such Certificates by or on behalf of such Plan is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement or (ii) in the case of the Non-Offered Subordinate Certificates, a representation or certification to the Trustee (upon which the Trustee and the other parties hereto are authorized to rely) to the effect that the proposed transfer and holding of such a Certificate and the servicing, management and operation of the Trust: (I) will not result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code which is not covered under an individual or class prohibited transaction exemption including but not limited to Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 84-14 (Class Exemption for Plan Asset Transactions Determined by Independent Qualified Professional Asset Managers); PTE 91-38 (Class Exemption for Certain Transactions Involving Bank Collective Investment Funds); PTE 90-1 (Class Exemption for Certain Transactions Involving Insurance Company Pooled Separate Accounts), PTE 95-60 (Class Exemption for Certain Transactions Involving Insurance Company General Accounts), and PTCE 96-23 (Class Exemption for Plan Asset Transactions Determined by In-House Asset Managers and (II) will not subject the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement.
 
(b)           Any Person acquiring an interest in a Global Certificate which is a Non-Offered Subordinate Certificate, by acquisition of such Certificate, shall be deemed to have represented to the Trustee that in the case of the Non-Offered Subordinate Certificates, either: (i) it is not acquiring an interest in such Certificate directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or (ii) the transfer and holding of an interest in such Certificate to that Person and the subsequent servicing, management and operation of the Trust and its assets: (I) will not result in any prohibited transaction which is not covered under an individual or class prohibited transaction exemption, including, but not limited to, PTE 84-14, PTE 91-38, PTE 90-1, PTE 95-60 or PTE 96-23 and (II) will not subject the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement.
 
(c)           Each beneficial owner of a Class B-1, Class B-2 or Class B-3 Certificate or any interest therein 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 with “Plan Assets”, (ii) it has acquired and is holding such certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption 90-30, as amended from time to time (the “Exemption”), and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption, including that the certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by S&P, Fitch, Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited (known as DBRS Limited), Dominion Bond Rating Service, Inc. (known as DBRS, Inc.) or Moody’s, and the certificate is so rated or (iii) (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 Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.
 
(d)           Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer will be required to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with the transfer restrictions in this Agreement with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates. Any attempted or purported transfer of any Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Agreement shall be void ab initio and such Certificate shall be considered to have been held continuously by the prior permitted Certificateholder. Any transferor of any Certificate in violation of such provisions, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and the Master Servicer from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by the Trustee or the Master Servicer as a result of such attempted or purported transfer. The Trustee shall not be liable for transfer of any such Book-Entry Certificates in or through book-entry facilities of any Depository or between or among Depository Participants or Certificate Owners made in violation of the transfer restrictions set forth herein.
 
Section 5.08                                Rule 144A Information.
 
For so long as any Non-Offered Certificates are outstanding and are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act, (1) the Depositor will provide or cause to be provided to any holder of such Non-Offered Certificates and any prospective purchaser thereof designated by such a holder, upon the request of such holder or prospective purchaser, the information required to be provided to such holder or prospective purchaser by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act; and (2) the Depositor shall update such information from time to time in order to prevent such information from becoming false and misleading and will take such other actions as are necessary to ensure that the safe harbor exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Rule 144A is and will be available for resales of such Certificates conducted in accordance with Rule 144A.
 
Section 5.09                                Exchangeable and Exchanged Certificates.
 
(a)           As of the Closing Date, the ES Trust shall be established and maintained in the name of the Trustee, as a separate trust within the Trust, which shall issue the Certificates (other than the Class I-R-1 Certificates and the Class II-R Certificates) and the corpus of which shall be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of such Certificates. The corpus of the ES Trust shall consist of the REMIC III Regular Interests and the Class I-R-2 Interest and all proceeds thereof.  It is intended, for federal income tax purposes, that the ES Trust will qualify as a grantor trust under Subpart E, part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code, of which the Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class I-R-1 Certificates and the Class II-R Certificates) are owners, rather than a partnership, an association taxable as a corporation or a taxable mortgage pool, and that, to the fullest extent possible, beneficial ownership of a Certificate (other than the Class I-R-1 Certificates and the Class II-R Certificates) will be treated as direct beneficial ownership of each individual, uncertificated REMIC III Regular Interest or Class I-R-2 Interest held by the ES Trust for which such Certificate is designated as the Corresponding Certificate in Section 5.01(c)(iii).  The powers granted and obligations undertaken in this Agreement shall be construed so as to further such intent.  The parties hereto, by entering into this Agreement, and each Holder of the Certificates, by acceptance of beneficial ownership of its Certificate, agree to treat, for federal income tax purposes, the ES Trust as a grantor trust under Subpart E, part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code and, to the fullest extent possible, the beneficial ownership of a Certificate (other than the Class I-R-1 Certificates and the Class II-R Certificates) as direct beneficial ownership of each individual, uncertificated REMIC III Regular Interest or Class I-R-2 Interest held by the ES Trust for which such Certificate is designated as the Corresponding Certificate in Section 5.01(c)(iii).  It is further intended, and the parties hereto agree, that, with respect to the Exchangeable Certificates and Exchanged Certificates for the avoidance of doubt, the group of uncertificated REMIC III Regular Interests or the Class I-R-2 Interest the beneficial ownership of which is represented by any Exchanged Certificates immediately following an exchange shall be same group of uncertificated REMIC III Regular Interests or the Class I-R-2 Interest the beneficial ownership of which were represented by the Exchangeable Certificates relinquished for such Exchanged Certificates, and vice versa, in the case of an exchange of Exchanged Certificates for Exchangeable Certificates.
 
(b)           If an Exchangeable or Exchanged Certificateholder wishes to exchange Certificates, the Exchangeable or Exchanged Certificateholder must notify the Trustee by e-mail to sfsexchange@usbank.com no later than seven Business Days before the proposed exchange date. The exchange date can be any Business Day from the 25th day of the month to the second to the last Business Day of the month subject to the Trustee’s approval. The notice must be on the Exchangeable or Exchanged Certificateholder's letterhead, carry a medallion stamp guarantee and set forth the following information: the CUSIP number of both Exchangeable or Exchanged Certificates to be surrendered and Exchangeable or Exchanged Certificates to be received, the aggregate outstanding Current Principal Amount and the aggregate original Current Principal Amount of the Exchangeable or Exchanged Certificates to be exchanged, the Exchangeable or Exchanged Certificateholder's DTC participant number and the proposed exchange date. After receiving the notice, the Trustee will e-mail the Exchangeable or Exchanged Certificateholder with wire payment instructions relating to the exchange fee, which shall be equal to $5,000 per exchange. The Trustee will notify the Depositor of any such exchange for the purpose of DTC eligibility and will notify the Rating Agencies of any such exchange. The Exchangeable or Exchanged Certificateholder shall utilize the Deposit and Withdrawal System at DTC to exchange the Certificates. A notice becomes irrevocable on the seventh Business Day before the proposed exchange date.
 
(c)           The Trustee shall make the first distribution on Exchanged Certificates or Exchangeable Certificates received in an exchange transaction on the Distribution Date in the following month to the Exchangeable or Exchanged Certificateholder of record as of the close of business on the last day of the month of the exchange.
 
(d)           If an Exchangeable or Exchanged Certificateholder elects to exchange its Exchangeable Certificates for related Exchanged Certificates or vice versa, the following three conditions must be satisfied:
 
i.  
the aggregate Current Principal Amount of the Exchanged Certificates received in the exchange, immediately after the exchange, must equal the aggregate Current Principal Amount, immediately prior to the exchange, of the Exchangeable Certificates relinquished therefor, and vice versa;
 
ii.  
the annual interest amount payable with respect to the Exchanged Certificates received in the exchange must equal the aggregate annual interest amount payable with respect to the Exchangeable Certificates relinquished therefor, and vice versa; and
 
iii.  
the Class or Classes of Exchangeable Certificates must be exchanged for Exchanged Certificates in a Combination Group in the applicable proportions, if any, described in the Exhibit C and vice versa.

On each Distribution Date, the related Available Funds on deposit in the Distribution Account shall be distributed as follows:
 
(I)           Distributions on the Group I Certificates:
 
(i)           On each Distribution Date, the Group I Available Funds will be distributed to the Group I Senior Certificates as follows:

third, to the Group I Senior Certificates (other than the Class I-PO Certificates), as principal, the Group I Senior Optimal Principal Amount, in the order described below, in reduction of the Current Principal Amounts thereof, until the Current Principal Amounts thereof have been reduced to zero;
 
fourth, to the Class I-PO Certificates, the Class I-PO Certificate Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date to the extent of the remaining Group I Available Funds, until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; and
 
fifth, to the Class I-PO Certificates, the portion of the Class I-PO Certificate Deferred Amount, provided that (i) on any Distribution Date, distributions pursuant to this priority fifth shall not exceed the excess, if any, of (x) Group I Available Funds remaining after giving effect to distributions pursuant to priority first through fourth above over (y) the sum of the amount of Accrued Certificate Interest for such Distribution Date and Accrued Certificate Interest remaining undistributed from previous Distribution Dates on all Classes of Group I Subordinate Certificates then outstanding, (ii) such distributions shall not reduce the Current Principal Amount of the Class I-PO Certificates, and (iii) no distribution will be made in respect of the Class I-PO Certificate Deferred Amount on or after the Group I Cross-Over Date.
 
On each Distribution Date, an amount, up to the amount of the Group I Senior Optimal Principal Amount for that Distribution Date, will be distributed as principal in the following order of priority:

Notwithstanding any reduction in principal distributable to the Class I-PO Certificates pursuant to this paragraph, the principal balance of the Class I-PO Certificates shall be reduced not only by principal so distributed but also by the difference between (i) principal distributable to the Class I-PO Certificates in accordance with priority fourth of clause (i) above, and (ii) principal actually distributed to the Class I-PO Certificates after giving effect to this paragraph (such difference for the Class I-PO Certificates, the “Class I-PO Certificate Cash Shortfall”). The Class I-PO Certificate Cash Shortfall for the Class I-PO Certificates with respect to any Distribution Date will be added to the Class I-PO Certificate Deferred Amount.
 
(iv)           In the event that the Exchangeable Certificates are exchanged for their related Exchanged Certificates within a Combination Group, such Exchanged Certificates will be entitled to a proportionate share of the principal distributions of the Exchangeable Certificates in such Combination Group as described in Exhibit C. Such Exchanged Certificates will also be entitled to the interest accrued on, and amounts payable in respect of certain interest shortfalls to, the Exchangeable Certificates.
 
On each Distribution Date, principal allocable to the Exchanged Certificates pursuant to clause (i)(B) above shall be distributed in the following order of priority:
 
A.

(II)           Distributions on the Group II Certificates:
 
(i)           On each Distribution Date, the Group II Available Funds shall be distributed to the Group II Senior Certificates as follows:
 
first, to the Group II Senior Certificates (other than the Class II-PO Certificates), on a pro rata basis, the Accrued Certificate Interest on such Classes for such Distribution Date;
 
second, to the Group II Senior Certificates (other than the Class II-PO Certificates), on a pro rata basis, any Accrued Certificate Interest thereon remaining undistributed from previous Distribution Dates, to the extent of remaining Group I Available Funds;

fifth, to the Class II-PO Certificates, the portion of the Class II-PO Certificate Deferred Amount, provided that (i) on any Distribution Date, distributions pursuant to this priority fifth shall not exceed the excess, if any, of (x) Group II Available Funds remaining after giving effect to distributions pursuant to priority first through fourth above over (y) the sum of the amount of Accrued Certificate Interest for such Distribution Date and Accrued Certificate Interest remaining undistributed from previous Distribution Dates on all Classes of Group II Subordinate Certificates then outstanding, (ii) such distributions shall not reduce the Current Principal Amount of the Class II-PO Certificates, and (iii) no distribution will be made in respect of the Class II-PO Certificate Deferred Amount on or after the Group II Cross-Over Date.
 
On each Distribution Date, an amount up to the amount of the Group II Senior Optimal Principal Distribution Amount for that Distribution Date shall be distributed as principal in the following order of priority:
 
A.  
to the Class II-R Certificates, in reduction of the Current Principal Amount thereof, until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; and
 
B.  
to the Class II-A-1 Certificates and Class II-A-2 Certificates, concurrently on a pro rata basis, in reduction of the Current Principal Amounts thereof, until the Current Principal Amounts thereof have been reduced to zero.
 
(ii)           On each Distribution Date on or prior to the Group II Cross-Over Date, an amount equal to the remaining Group II Available Funds after the distributions in clause (i) above shall be distributed sequentially in the following order, to the Class II-B-1, Class II-B-2, Class II-B-3, Class II-B-4, Class II-B-5 and Class II-B-6 Certificates, in each case up to an amount equal to and in the following order: (a) the Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for such Distribution Date, (b) any Accrued Certificate Interest thereon remaining undistributed from previous Distribution Dates and (c) such Class’s Group II Allocable Share for such Distribution Date, in each case, to the extent of the remaining Group II Available Funds.

Notwithstanding any reduction in principal distributable to the Class II-PO Certificates pursuant to this paragraph, the principal balance of the Class II-PO Certificates shall be reduced not only by principal so distributed but also by the difference between (i) principal distributable to the Class II-PO Certificates in accordance with priority fourth of clause (i) above, and (ii) principal actually distributed to the Class II-PO Certificates after giving effect to this paragraph (such difference for the Class II-PO Certificates, the “Class II-PO Certificate Cash Shortfall”). The Class II-PO Certificate Cash Shortfall for the Class II-PO Certificates with respect to any Distribution Date will be added to the Class II-PO Certificate Deferred Amount.
 
On each Distribution Date, any Available Funds related to a Loan Group remaining after payment of interest and principal to the Classes of Certificates entitled thereto, in each case as described above, will be distributed to the related Class R Certificates; provided that, if on any Distribution Date there are any Group I Available Funds and Group II Available Funds remaining after payment of interest and principal to a Class or Classes of Certificates entitled thereto, such amounts will be distributed to the other Class or Classes of related Senior Certificates, pro rata, based upon their Current Principal Amounts, until all amounts due to all Classes of Senior Certificates have been paid in full, before any amounts are distributed to the related Class R Certificates.
 
(b)           “Pro rata” distributions among Classes of Certificates will be made in proportion to the then Current Principal Amount of such Classes.
 
(c)           No Accrued Certificate Interest will be payable with respect to any Class of Certificates after the Distribution Date on which the Current Principal Amount or Notional Amount of such Certificate has been reduced to zero.
 
(d)           If on any Distribution Date the Available Funds for the related Senior Certificates is less than the Accrued Certificate Interest on the related Senior Certificates for such Distribution Date prior to reduction for Net Interest Shortfalls and the interest portion of Realized Losses, the shortfall will be allocated among the Holders of each Class of the related Senior Certificates (other than the Class I-PO Certificates and Class II-PO Certificates) and the related Subordinate Certificates, on a pro rata basis, in proportion to the respective amounts of Accrued Certificate Interest for that Distribution Date that would have been allocated thereto in the absence of such Net Interest Shortfalls and/or Realized Losses for such Distribution Date. In addition, the amount of any interest shortfalls with respect to the related Mortgage Loans will constitute unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest and will be distributable to Holders of the Certificates of the related Classes entitled to such amounts on subsequent Distribution Dates, to the extent of the applicable Available Funds remaining after current interest distributions as required herein. Any such amounts so carried forward will not bear interest. Any interest shortfalls will not be offset by a reduction in the servicing compensation of the Servicers or otherwise, except to the limited extent described in the fourth preceding paragraph with respect to Prepayment Interest Shortfalls. The interest portion of Realized Losses will be allocated first to the related Subordinate Certificates, and after the related Cross-Over Date, to the related Senior Certificates, in each case on a pro rata basis, in proportion to the amount of Accrued Certificate Interest that would have been allocated thereto in the absence of such Realized Losses.
 
(e)           The expenses and fees of the Trust shall be paid by each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III, to the extent that such expenses and fees relate to the assets of each such REMIC, and all other expenses and fees of the Trust shall be paid pro rata by each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III.
 
(f)           [Reserved].
 
(g)           In addition, in the event that the Master Servicer receives any Subsequent Recoveries from a Servicer, the Master Servicer shall deposit such funds into the Master Servicer Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.02. If, after taking into account such Subsequent Recoveries, the amount of a Realized Loss is reduced, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase the Current Principal Amount of the related Class of Subordinate Certificates with the highest payment priority to which Realized Losses have been allocated, but not by more than the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Subordinate Certificates pursuant to Section 6.03. The amount of any remaining Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to sequentially increase the Current Principal Amount of the related Subordinate Certificates, beginning with the Class of such Subordinate Certificates with the next highest payment priority, up to the amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to such Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 6.03. Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any payment in respect of current interest on the amount of such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the Current Principal Amount of each Subordinate Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective Fractional Undivided Interest.
 
Section 6.02                                [Reserved.]
 
Section 6.03                                Allocation of Losses.
 
On or prior to each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the amount of any Realized Loss in respect of each Mortgage Loan that occurred during the immediately preceding calendar month, based on information provided by the related Servicer.
 
(a)           Group I Certificates
 
(i)           Realized Losses with respect to a Group I Mortgage Loan will be allocated on a pro rata basis between the related PO Percentage of the Scheduled Principal Balance of such Group I Mortgage Loan and the related Non-PO Percentage of such Scheduled Principal Balance.
 
(ii)           On each Distribution Date, the related PO Percentage of the principal portion of any Realized Loss on a Discount Mortgage Loan in Loan Group I and any Class I-PO Certificate Cash Shortfall will be allocated to the Class I-PO Certificates until the Current Principal Amount of the Class I-PO Certificates is reduced to zero. With respect to any Distribution Date through the Group I Cross-Over Date, the aggregate of all amounts so allocable to the Class I-PO Certificates on such date in respect of any Realized Losses and any Class I-PO Certificate Cash Shortfalls and all amounts previously allocated in respect of such Realized Losses or Class I-PO Certificate Cash Shortfalls and not distributed on prior Distribution Dates will be the “Class I-PO Certificate Deferred Amount.”  To the extent funds are available therefor on any Distribution Date through the Group I Cross-Over Date, distributions in respect of the Class I-PO Certificate Deferred Amount for the Class I-PO Certificates from Available Funds will be made in accordance with priority fifth of clause (i) above. No interest shall accrue on the Class I-PO Certificate Deferred Amount. On each Distribution Date through the Group I Cross-Over Date, the Current Principal Amount of the lowest ranking Class of Subordinate Certificates then outstanding will be reduced by the amount of any distributions in respect of any Class I-PO Certificate Deferred Amount on such Distribution Date in accordance with the priorities set forth above, through the operation of the Group I Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount. After the Group I Cross-Over Date, no more distributions will be made in respect of, and applicable Realized Losses and Class I-PO Certificate Cash Shortfalls allocable to the Class I-PO Certificates will not be added to, the Class I-PO Certificate Deferred Amount.
 
(iii)           The related Non-PO Percentage of the principal portion of Realized Losses on the Group I Mortgage Loans will be allocated on any Distribution Date as follows: first, to the Class I-B-6 Certificates; second, to the Class I-B-5 Certificates; third, to the Class I-B-4 Certificates; fourth, to the Class I-B-3 Certificates; fifth, to the Class I-B-2 Certificates; and sixth, to the Class I-B-1 Certificates, in each case until the Current Principal Amount of such Class has been reduced to zero.
 
(iv)           Thereafter, the related Non-PO Percentage of the principal portion of Realized Losses on the Group I Mortgage Loans will be allocated on any Distribution Date first, to the Class I-A-2 Certificates until the Current Principal Amount of that Class has been reduced to zero, and then to the Class I-A-1 Certificates and the Exchanged Certificates, on a pro rata basis.
 
(v)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such allocation of any Realized Loss shall be made on a Distribution Date to any Class of Group I Certificates (other than the Class I-X Certificates) to the extent that such allocation would result in the reduction of the aggregate Current Principal Amounts of all the Group I Certificates (other than the Class I-X Certificates) as of such Distribution Date, after giving effect to all distributions and prior allocations of Realized Losses on the Group I Mortgage Loans on such date, to an amount less than the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of all of the Group I Mortgage Loans as of the first day of the month of such Distribution Date (such limitation, the “Group I Loss Allocation Limit”).
 
(b)           Group II Certificates
 
(i)           Realized Losses with respect to a Group II Mortgage Loan will be allocated on a pro rata basis between the related PO Percentage of the Scheduled Principal Balance of such Group II Mortgage Loan and the related Non-PO Percentage of such Scheduled Principal Balance.
 
(ii)           On each Distribution Date, the related PO Percentage of the principal portion of any Realized Loss on a Discount Mortgage Loan in Loan Group II and any Class II-PO Certificate Cash Shortfall will be allocated to the Class II-PO Certificates until the Current Principal Amount of the Class II-PO Certificates is reduced to zero. With respect to any Distribution Date through the Group II Cross-Over Date, the aggregate of all amounts so allocable to the Class II-PO Certificates on such date in respect of any Realized Losses and any Class II-PO Certificate Cash Shortfalls and all amounts previously allocated in respect of such Realized Losses or Class II-PO Certificate Cash Shortfalls and not distributed on prior Distribution Dates will be the “Class II-PO Certificate Deferred Amount.”  To the extent funds are available therefor on any Distribution Date through the Group II Cross-Over Date, distributions in respect of the Class II-PO Certificate Deferred Amount for the Class II-PO Certificates from Available Funds will be made in accordance with priority fifth of clause (i) above. No interest shall accrue on the Class II-PO Certificate Deferred Amount. On each Distribution Date through the Group II Cross-Over Date, the Current Principal Amount of the lowest ranking Class of Subordinate Certificates then outstanding will be reduced by the amount of any distributions in respect of any Class II-PO Certificate Deferred Amount on such Distribution Date in accordance with the priorities set forth above, through the operation of the Group II Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount. After the Group II Cross-Over Date, no more distributions will be made in respect of, and applicable Realized Losses and Class II-PO Certificate Cash Shortfalls allocable to the Class II-PO Certificates will not be added to, the Class II-PO Certificate Deferred Amount.
 
(iii)           The related Non-PO Percentage of the principal portion of Realized Losses on the Group II Mortgage Loans will be allocated on any Distribution Date as follows: first, to the Class II-B-6 Certificates; second, to the Class II-B-5 Certificates; third, to the Class II-B-4 Certificates; fourth, to the Class II-B-3 Certificates; fifth, to the Class II-B-2 Certificates; and sixth, to the Class II-B-1 Certificates, in each case until the Current Principal Amount of such Class has been reduced to zero.
 
(iv)           Thereafter, the related Non-PO Percentage of the principal portion of Realized Losses on the Group II Mortgage Loans will be allocated on any Distribution Date first, to the Class II-A-2 Certificates until the Current Principal Amount of that Class has been reduced to zero, and then to the Class II-A-1 Certificates.
 
(v)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such allocation of any Realized Loss shall be made on a Distribution Date to any Class of Group II Certificates (other than the Class II-X Certificates) to the extent that such allocation would result in the reduction of the aggregate Current Principal Amounts of all the Group I Certificates (other than the Class II-X Certificates) as of such Distribution Date, after giving effect to all distributions and prior allocations of Realized Losses on the Group II Mortgage Loans on such date, to an amount less than the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of all of the Group II Mortgage Loans as of the first day of the month of such Distribution Date (such limitation, the “Group II Loss Allocation Limit”).
 
(c)           Any Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Certificates shall be allocated among the related Certificates of such Class (other than the Interest Only Certificates) in proportion to their respective Current Principal Amounts. Any allocation of Realized Losses shall be accomplished by reducing the Current Principal Amount of the related Certificates on the related Distribution Date.
 
(d)           Realized Losses shall be allocated on the Distribution Date in the month following the month in which such loss was incurred and, in the case of the principal portion thereof, after giving effect to distributions made on such Distribution Date.
 
(e)           On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall determine the Group I Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount and the Group II Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount.  Any Group I Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount shall effect a corresponding reduction in the Current Principal Amount of (i) if prior to the Group I Cross-Over Date, the Current Principal Amounts of the Group I Subordinate Certificates, in the reverse order of their numerical Class designations and (ii) from and after the Group I Cross-Over Date, the Group I Senior Certificates, in accordance with priorities set forth in clause (b) above, which reduction shall occur on such Distribution Date after giving effect to distributions made on such Distribution Date.  Any Group II Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount shall effect a corresponding reduction in the Current Principal Amount of (i) if prior to the Group II Cross-Over Date, the Current Principal Amounts of the Group II Subordinate Certificates, in the reverse order of their numerical Class designations and (ii) from and after the Group II Cross-Over Date, the Group II Senior Certificates, in accordance with priorities set forth in clause (b) above, which reduction shall occur on such Distribution Date after giving effect to distributions made on such Distribution Date.
 
(f)           Any Net Interest Shortfall will be allocated among the Classes of Certificates in proportion to the respective amounts of Accrued Certificate Interest that would have been allocated thereto in the absence of such Net Interest Shortfall for such Distribution Date. The interest portion of any Realized Losses with respect to the Group I Mortgage Loans or Group II Mortgage Loans occurring on or prior to the Group I Cross-Over Date or Group II Cross-Over Date, respectively, will not be allocated among any Certificates, but will reduce the amount of Group I Available Funds or Group II Available Funds, respectively, on the related Distribution Date. As a result of the subordination of the Group I Subordinate Certificates and Group II Subordinate Certificates in right of distribution, such Realized Losses on the Group I Mortgage Loans and Group II Mortgage Loans will be borne by the Group I Subordinate Certificates and Group II Subordinate Certificates, in inverse order of their numerical Class designations. Following the Group I Cross-Over Date, the interest portion of Realized Losses on the Group I Mortgage Loans will be borne by the Group I Senior Certificates.  Following the Group I Cross-Over Date, the interest portion of Realized Losses on the Group I Mortgage Loans will be borne by the Group I Senior Certificates.
 
Section 6.04                                Payments.
 
(a)           On each Distribution Date, other than the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to each Certificateholder of record as of the immediately preceding Record Date the Certificateholder’s pro rata share of its Class (based on the aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest represented by such Holder’s Certificates) of all amounts required to be distributed on such Distribution Date to such Class. The Trustee shall calculate the amount to be distributed to each Class and, based on such amounts, the Trustee shall determine the amount to be distributed to each Certificateholder. All of the Trustee’s calculations of payments shall be based solely on information provided to the Trustee by the Master Servicer. The Trustee shall not be required to confirm, verify or recompute any such information but shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such information.

Section 6.06                                Monthly Advances.
 
The Master Servicer shall cause the related Servicer to remit any Advance required pursuant to the terms of the related Servicing Agreement. The related Servicer shall be obligated to make any such Advance only to the extent that such advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the related Servicer shall have determined that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that a proposed Advance or a lesser portion of such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, the related Servicer shall deliver (i) to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders funds constituting the remaining portion of such Advance, if applicable, and (ii) to the Master Servicer an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the basis for such determination.

If the Master Servicer were required to make an Advance but failed to do so, the Trustee upon receiving notice or becoming aware of such failure, and pursuant to the applicable terms of this Agreement, shall appoint a Master Servicer who will make such required Advance, or the Trustee as successor master servicer shall be required to remit the amount of such required Advance to the Master Servicer Collection Account, unless the Trustee shall have determined that such Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance.  If the Trustee cannot find a successor servicer to replace the Master Servicer as Servicer the Trustee shall become the successor servicer and shall be required to remit the amount of such required Advance to the Distribution Account, unless the Trustee shall have determined that such Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance.
 
Section 6.07                                Compensating Interest Payments.
 
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account not later than the related Distribution Account Deposit Date an amount equal to the sum of the aggregate amounts paid by the Servicers under the related Servicing Agreement with respect to subclauses (a) and (b) of the definition of Interest Shortfall with respect to the Mortgage Loans for the related Distribution Date.

(a)           The Master Servicer will keep in full force and effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.
 
(b)           Any Person into which the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the Master Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

(a)           The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Persons for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part that may be sustained in connection with, arising out of, or relating to, any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) relating to this Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Certificates, the Servicing Agreements, the Assignment Agreement or the Certificates or the powers of attorney delivered by the Trustee hereunder (i) related to the Master Servicer’s failure to perform its duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or (ii) incurred by reason of the Master Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder, provided, in each case, that with respect to any such claim or legal action (or pending or threatened claim or legal action), the Indemnified Person shall have given the Master Servicer and the Depositor written notice thereof promptly after a Responsible Officer of the Indemnified Person shall have with respect to such claim or legal action and actual knowledge thereof. The Master Servicer’s failure to receive any such notice shall not affect the Indemnified Person’s right to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent the Master Servicer is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice.

Subject to the obligation of the Master Servicer to indemnify the Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 7.03:

(b)           The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer 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.

(d)           The Master Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties under this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, the Master Servicer may in its discretion, with the consent of the Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), undertake any such action 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 Holders of the Certificates hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Master Servicer Collection Account as provided by Section 4.03. Nothing in this Subsection 7.04(d) shall affect the Master Servicer’s obligation to supervise, or to take such actions as are necessary to ensure, the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.01.
 
(e)           In taking or recommending any course of action pursuant to this Agreement, unless specifically required to do so pursuant to this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be required to investigate or make recommendations concerning potential liabilities which the Trust might incur as a result of such course of action by reason of the condition of the Mortgaged Properties but shall give notice to the Trustee if it has notice of such potential liabilities.

Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Independent Counsel addressed to the Trustee to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation by the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor to the Master Servicer reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 8.02 hereof. The Trustee shall notify the Rating Agencies of the resignation of the Master Servicer.
 
Section 7.06                                Successor Master Servicer.
 
In connection with the appointment of any successor master servicer or the assumption of the duties of the Master Servicer, the Seller or the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor master servicer out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as the Seller or the Trustee and such successor master servicer shall agree. If the successor master servicer does not agree that such market value is a fair price, such successor master servicer shall obtain two quotations of market value from third parties actively engaged in the servicing of single-family mortgage loans.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the compensation of any Successor Master Servicer exceed that permitted the Master Servicer hereunder without the consent of all of the Certificateholders..

ARTICLE VIII
Default
 
Section 8.01                                Events of Default.
 
“Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) and only with respect to the defaulting Master Servicer:
 
(i)  Any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Trustee any amounts received or collected by the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans and required to be remitted by it (other than any Advance) pursuant to this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for one Business Day after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Trustee and the Master Servicer by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates; or
 
 (ii)           any failure by the Master Servicer to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement or any breach of a representation or warranty by the Master Servicer, which failure or breach shall continue unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, properly requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Trust Fund; or
 
(iii)           There is entered against the Master Servicer a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling 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 is unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days, or an involuntary case is commenced against the Master Servicer under any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute and the petition is not dismissed within 60 days after the commencement of the case; or
 
(iv)           The Master Servicer consents to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or substantially all of its property; or the Master Servicer admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, files a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspends payment of its obligations;
 
(v)           The Master Servicer assigns or delegates its duties or rights under this Agreement in contravention of the provisions permitting such assignment or delegation under Sections 7.05 or 7.07; or
 
(vi)           The Master Servicer fails to deposit or cause to be deposited, in the Distribution Account any Monthly Advance required to be made by the Master Servicer (other than a Nonrecoverable Advance) by the close of business on the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date.
 
In each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default with respect to the Master Servicer shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee or the Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the principal of the Trust Fund, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by such Holders of the Certificates), with a copy to the Rating Agencies, may terminate all of the rights and obligations (but not the liabilities) of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and/or the REO Property serviced by the Master Servicer and the proceeds thereof. Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of the written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans, REO Property or under any other related agreements (but only to the extent that such other agreements relate to the Mortgage Loans or related REO Property) shall, subject to Section 8.02, automatically and without further action pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to this Section 8.01; and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee of (i) the property and amounts which are then or should be part of the Trust or which thereafter become part of the Trust; and (ii) originals or copies of all documents of the Master Servicer reasonably requested by the Trustee to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s duties thereunder. All reasonable and properly documented costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such transfer shall be reimbursed to the Trustee by the Master Servicer within 30 days of request therefor or, if the Master Servicer fails to pay any such amount, reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Amount. In addition to any other amounts which are then, or, notwithstanding the termination of its activities under this Agreement, may become payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any amount received on account of a Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, that portion of such payments which it would have received as reimbursement under this Agreement if notice of termination had not been given. The termination of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer shall not affect any obligations incurred by the Master Servicer prior to such termination.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default described in clause (vi) of this Section 8.01 shall occur, the Trustee upon receiving notice or becoming aware of such failure, and pursuant to the applicable terms of this Agreement, shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, which may be delivered by telecopy, immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer thereafter arising under this Agreement, but without prejudice to any rights it may have as a Holder of the Certificates or to reimbursement of Monthly Advances and other advances of its own funds, and the Trustee shall act as provided in Section 8.02 to carry out the duties of the Master Servicer, including the obligation to make any Monthly Advance  the nonpayment of which was an Event of Default described in clause (vi) of this Section 8.01. Any such action taken by the Trustee must be prior to the distribution on the relevant Distribution Date.
 
Section 8.02                                Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
 
(a)           Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.01 or an Opinion of Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 7.05 to the effect that the Master Servicer is legally unable to act or to delegate its duties to a Person which is legally able to act, the Trustee shall automatically become the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall thereafter have all the rights and powers of, and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof (including the requirement to make Monthly Advances pursuant to Section 6.06); provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever with respect to any liability (other than advances deemed recoverable and not previously made) incurred by the Master Servicer at or prior to the time of termination. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to compensation which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, except for those amounts due the Master Servicer as reimbursement permitted under this Agreement for advances previously made or expenses previously incurred. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution which is a Fannie Mae- or Freddie Mac-approved servicer, and with respect to a successor to the Master Servicer only, having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000, as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, that the Trustee shall obtain a letter from each Rating Agency that the ratings, if any, on each of the Certificates will not be lowered as a result of the selection of the successor to the Master Servicer. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 7.06 shall apply, the compensation shall not be in excess of that which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, and that such successor shall undertake and assume the obligations of the Master Servicer to pay compensation to any third Person acting as an agent or independent contractor in the performance of master servicing responsibilities hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
 
(b)           If the Trustee shall succeed to any duties of the Master Servicer respecting the Mortgage Loans as provided herein, it shall do so in a separate capacity and not in its capacity as Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article IX shall be inapplicable to the Trustee in its duties as the successor to the Master Servicer in the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (although such provisions shall continue to apply to the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee); the provisions of Article VII, however, shall apply to it in its capacity as successor master servicer.
 
Section 8.03                                Notification to Certificateholders.
 
Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Holders of the Certificates at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the Rating Agencies.
 
Section 8.04                                Waiver of Defaults.
 
The Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of the Certificates, within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured, notice of each such Event of Default. The Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Trust Fund may, on behalf of all Holders of the Certificates, waive any default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consequences thereof, except a default in the making of or the causing to be made any required distribution on the Certificates, which default may only be waived by Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating 100% of the Trust Fund. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall be deemed to cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been timely remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. The Trustee shall give notice of any such waiver to the Rating Agencies.
 
Section 8.05                                List of Certificateholders.
 
Upon written request of three or more Holders of Certificates of record, for purposes of communicating with other Holders of Certificates with respect to their rights under this Agreement, the Trustee will afford such Certificateholders access during business hours to the most recent list of related Certificateholders held by the Trustee.
 

 
ARTICLE IX
Concerning the Trustee
 
Section 9.01                                Duties of Trustee.
 
(a)           The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement as duties of the Trustee. If an Event of Default has occurred and has not been cured or waived, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.
 
(b)           Upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments which are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall examine them to determine whether they are on their face in the form required by this Agreement; 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 hereunder; provided, further, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or verification of any calculation provided to it pursuant to this Agreement.
 
(c)           On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make monthly distributions and the final distribution to the related Certificateholders from funds in the Distribution Account, as provided in Sections 6.01 and 10.01 herein based solely on the report of the Trustee.
 
(d)           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 an Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver of all such Events of Default 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 their respective 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 in its individual capacity for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
 
(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 directions of the Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the portion of the Trust Fund related to such Certificates, if such action or non-action relates to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or other power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement;
 
(iv)           The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office shall have actual knowledge thereof. In the absence of such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume there is no such default or Event of Default;
 
(v)           The Trustee shall not in any way be liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Account held by or in the name of Trustee unless it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of such insufficiency (except to the extent that the Trustee is obligor and has defaulted thereon);
 
(vi)           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;

(viii)          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 Master Servicer under the Servicing Agreements, except 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 Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01:
 
(i)           The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting in reliance on any resolution, certificate of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or a Servicer, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document 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 of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection with respect to any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

Nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;
 
(iv)           Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, 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)           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 document, unless requested in writing to do so by Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the portion of the Trust Fund related to such Certificates, and provided that 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 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 expense or liability as a condition to taking any such action. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the related Certificateholders requesting the investigation;
 
(vi)           The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or through Affiliates, agents or attorneys; provided, however, that the Trustee may not appoint any agent to perform its custodial functions with respect to the Mortgage Files or paying agent functions under this Agreement without the express written consent of the Master Servicer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any of the Trustee’s agents or attorneys or a custodian or paying agent appointed hereunder by the Trustee with due care and, when required, with the consent of the Master Servicer;
 
(vii)           Should the Trustee deem the nature of any action required on its part, to be unclear, the Trustee may require prior to such action that it be provided by the Depositor with reasonable further instructions;
 
(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 accountable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of any such act;
 
(ix)            The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety with respect to the execution of the trust created hereby or the powers granted hereunder, except as provided in Section 9.07; and
 
(x)            The Trustee shall not have any duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as applicable, or the eligibility of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of this Agreement.
 
Section 9.03                                Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
 
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the signature and countersignature of the Trustee on such Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and neither the Trustee, nor the Custodian on its behalf, shall have any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee does not make any representation as to the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates (other than the signature and countersignature of the Trustee on the such Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee, or the Custodian on its behalf, of the obligation to review the Mortgage Files pursuant to Sections 2.02 and 2.04. The Trustee’s signature and countersignature (or countersignature of its agent) on the Certificates shall be solely in its capacity as Trustee and shall not constitute the Certificates an obligation of the Trustee in any other capacity. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the legality or validity of this Agreement or any document or instrument relating to this Agreement, the validity of the execution of this Agreement or of any supplement hereto or instrument of further assurance, or the validity, priority, perfection or sufficiency of the security for the Certificates issued hereunder or intended to be issued hereunder. 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 either Trust Fund, or any portion of either Trust Fund or its ability to make the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders, under this Agreement. The Trustee shall not have any responsibility for filing any financing statement 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 or to record this Agreement.
 
Section 9.04                                Trustee May Own Certificates.
 
The Trustee in its individual capacity or in any capacity other than as Trustee hereunder may become the owner or pledgee of any Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee and may otherwise deal with the parties hereto.
 
Section 9.05                                Trustee’s Fees and Expenses.
 
The Trustee will be entitled to recover, from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.05, the Trustee Fee, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances and the expenses of the Trustee in connection with any Event of Default, any breach of this Agreement or any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) or incurred or made by the Trustee in the administration of the trusts hereunder (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its counsel) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or intentional misconduct or which is the responsibility of the Certificateholders. If funds in the Distribution Account  are insufficient therefor, the Trustee shall recover such expenses from the Depositor and the Depositor hereby agrees to pay such expenses, disbursements or advances upon demand. Such compensation and reimbursement obligation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust.
 
Section 9.06                                Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
 
The Trustee and any successor Trustee shall during the entire duration of this Agreement be a state bank or trust company or a national banking association organized and doing business under the laws of such state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus and undivided profits of at least $40,000,000 or, in the case of a successor Trustee, $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and, in the case of the Trustee, rated “BBB” or higher by S&P or Fitch and “Baa2” or higher by Moody’s with respect to their long-term rating and rated “BBB” or higher by S&P or Fitch and “Baa2” or higher by Moody’s with respect to any outstanding long-term unsecured unsubordinated debt, and, in the case of a successor Trustee other than pursuant to Section 9.10, rated in one of the two highest long-term debt categories of, or otherwise acceptable to, each of the Rating Agencies. If the Trustee 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 9.06 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its total equity capital (combined capital and surplus) as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.08.

Section 9.07                                Insurance.
 
The Trustee at its own expense, shall at all times maintain and keep in full force and effect: (i) fidelity insurance, (ii) theft of documents insurance and (iii) forgery insurance (which may be collectively satisfied by a “Financial Institution Bond” and/or a “Bankers’ Blanket Bond”). All such insurance shall be in amounts, with standard coverage and subject to deductibles, as are customary for insurance typically maintained by banks or their affiliates which act as custodians for investor-owned mortgage pools.

Section 9.08                                Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
 
(a)           The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the Trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Seller and the Master Servicer, with a copy to the Rating Agencies. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to each of the resigning trustee and the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have 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.
 
(b)           If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, 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 shall promptly remove the Trustee, and appoint a successor Trustee, by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee, so removed, the successor Trustee.

In the event that the Trustee is removed by the Holders of Certificates in accordance with this Section 9.08(c), the Holders of such Certificates shall be responsible for paying any compensation payable to a successor Trustee, in excess of the amount paid to the predecessor Trustee.
 
(d)           No resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.08 shall become effective except upon appointment of and acceptance of such appointment by the successor Trustee as provided in Section 9.09.
 
Section 9.09                                Successor Trustee.
 
(a)           Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 9.08 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder. The resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall then become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein. The predecessor Trustee shall after payment of its outstanding fees and expenses promptly deliver to the successor Trustee all assets and records of the Trust held by it hereunder, and the Depositor and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee, all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
 
(b)           No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 9.09 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06.
 
(c)           Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 9.09, the successor trustee shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Certificateholders at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and to the Rating Agencies.  The Depositor shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Trust Fund.
 
Section 9.10                                Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
 
Any state bank or trust company or national banking association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any state bank or trust company or national banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any state bank or trust company or national banking association succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such state bank or trust company or national banking association shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06. Such succession shall be valid 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 9.11                                Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
 
(a)           Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust or property constituting the same 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 and the Depositor 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, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.11, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Depositor and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable.
 
(b)           If the Depositor shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a written request so to do, the Trustee shall have the power to make such appointment without the Depositor.
 
(c)           No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 9.06 hereunder and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 9.08 hereof.
 
(d)           In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 9.11, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee and required to be conferred on such co-trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.
 
(e)           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 IX. 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.
 
(f)           To the extent not prohibited by law, any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, request the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to do any lawful act under or with respect to 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.
 
(g)           No trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of another trustee under this Agreement. The Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

(b)           The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service federal tax information returns or elections required to be made hereunder with respect to each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III, the Trust Fund, if applicable, and the Certificates containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or applicable Treasury regulations, and shall furnish to each Holder of Certificates at any time during the calendar year for which such returns or reports are made such statements or information at the times and in the manner as may be required thereby, including, without limitation, reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using a constant prepayment assumption of 300% PSA as described in the prospectus supplement relating to the Offered Certificates). The Trustee shall apply for an Employee Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service under Form SS-4 or any other acceptable method for all tax entities. In connection with the foregoing, the Trustee shall timely prepare, file and sign, Internal Revenue Service Form 8811, which shall provide the name and address of the person who can be contacted to obtain information required to be reported to the holders of regular interests in each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III (the “REMIC Reporting Agent”). The Trustee shall make elections to treat each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III as a REMIC (which elections shall apply to the taxable period ending December 31, 2007 and each calendar year thereafter) in such manner as the Code or applicable Treasury regulations may prescribe. The Trustee shall sign all tax information returns filed pursuant to this Section and any other returns as may be required by the Code. The Holder of the Class I-R-1 Certificate is hereby designated as the “Tax Matters Person” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860F-4(d)) for REMIC I, the Holder of the Class I-R-2 Certificate is hereby designated as the “Tax Matters Person” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860F-4(d)) for REMIC III, and the Holder of the Class II-R Certificate is hereby designated as the “Tax Matters Person” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860F-4(d)) for REMIC II. The Trustee is hereby designated and appointed as the agent of each such Tax Matters Person. Any Holder of a Residual Certificate will by acceptance thereof appoint the Trustee as agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of acting as Tax Matters Person for the related REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III during such time as the Trustee does not own any such Residual Certificate. In the event that the Code or applicable Treasury regulations prohibit the Trustee from signing tax or information returns or other statements, or the Trustee from acting as agent for the Tax Matters Person, the Trustee shall take whatever action that in their sole good faith judgment is necessary for the proper filing of such information returns or for the provision of a Tax Matters Person, including designation of the Holder of a Residual Certificate to sign such returns or act as Tax Matters Person. Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall be bound by this Section.
 
(c)           The Trustee shall provide upon request and receipt of reasonable compensation such information as required in Section 860D(a)(6)(B) of the Code to the Internal Revenue Service, to any Person purporting to transfer a Residual Certificate to a Person other than a transferee permitted by Section 5.05(b), and to any regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate, organization described in Section 1381 of the Code, or nominee holding an interest in a pass-through entity described in Section 860E(e)(6) of the Code, any record holder of which is not a transferee permitted by Section 5.05(b) (or which is deemed by statute to be an entity with a disqualified member).
 
(d)           The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file or cause to be filed any state income tax returns required under Applicable State Law with respect to each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III and the Trust Fund.
 
(e)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders of interest, original issue discount or principal on the Certificates that the Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event the Trustee withholds any amount from payments of interest, original issue discount or principal or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Trustee shall, together with its monthly report to such Certificateholders, indicate such amount withheld.
 
(f)           The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund and the Depositor for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by such Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as a result of a breach of the Trustee’s covenants set forth in this Section 9.12; provided, however, such liability and obligation to indemnify in this paragraph shall not be joint and several, and the Trustee shall not be liable or be obligated to indemnify the Trust Fund for the failure by the other to perform any duty under this Agreement or the breach by the other of any covenant in this Agreement. In the event that any liable party hereto fails to honor its obligations under the preceding sentences, or taxes imposed on the Trust Fund are not otherwise paid, such taxes, to the extent attributable to Loan Group I or REMIC I or any other portion of the Trust Fund the ownership of which is evidenced by the Group I Certificates, shall be paid first with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Class I-R-1 Certificates and I-R-2 Certificates, based on the REMIC or such related portion of the Trust Fund to which the tax relates, and second with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Holders of the following other Certificates in the following order of priority: first, to the Class I-B-6 Certificates, second, to the Class I-B-5 Certificates, third, to the Class I-B-4 Certificates, fourth, to the Class I-B-3 Certificates, fifth, to the Class I-B-2 Certificates, sixth, to the Class I-B-1 Certificates, and eighth, to the Group I Senior Certificates (on a pro rata basis based on the amounts to be distributed). In the event that any liable party hereto fails to honor its obligations under the preceding sentences, or taxes imposed on the Trust Fund are not otherwise paid, such taxes, to the extent attributable to Loan Group II or REMIC II or any other portion of the Trust Fund the ownership of which is evidenced by the Group II Certificates, shall be paid, first, with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Class II-R Certificates and I-R-2 Certificates, based on the REMIC or such related portion of the Trust Fund to which the tax relates, and second with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Holders of the following other Certificates in the following order of priority: first, to the Class II-B-6 Certificates, second, to the Class II-B-5 Certificates, third, to the Class II-B-4 Certificates, fourth, to the Class II-B-3 Certificates, fifth, to the Class II-B-2 Certificates, sixth, to the Class II-B-1 Certificates, and eighth, to the Group II Senior Certificates (on a pro rata basis based on the amounts to be distributed).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that such tax is payable by the Holder of any such Certificates, the Trustee is hereby authorized to retain on any Distribution Date, from the Holders of the related Class R Certificates (and, if necessary, from the Holders of the other relevant Certificates in the priority specified in the preceding sentence), funds otherwise distributable to such Holders in an amount sufficient to pay such tax. The Trustee shall include in its monthly statement amounts allocated to the relevant Certificates, taking into account the priorities described in the second preceding sentence. The Trustee shall promptly notify in writing the party liable for any such tax of the amount thereof and the due date for the payment thereof.
 

 
ARTICLE X
Termination
 
Section 10.01                                Termination Upon Repurchase by the Depositor or its Designee or Liquidation of the Mortgage Loans.
 
(a)           Subject to Section 10.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer created hereby with respect to the Trust Fund (as it relates to one of the Loan Groups) and the related Certificates, other than the obligation of the Trustee to make payments to related Certificateholders as hereinafter set forth and the indemnification obligations under Section 7.03 hereof, shall terminate upon:
 
(i)           the repurchase by or at the direction of the Depositor or its designee of  all of the Mortgage Loans in a Loan Group and all related REO Property remaining in a Loan Group at a price (in each case, the “Termination Purchase Price”) equal to the sum of (a) 100% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of each such Mortgage Loan (other than a Mortgage Loan related to REO Property) as of the date of repurchase, net of the principal portion of any unreimbursed Monthly Advances made by the purchaser, together with interest at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate accrued but unpaid to, but not including, the first day of the month of repurchase, (b) the appraised value of any related REO Property, less the good faith estimate of the Depositor of liquidation expenses to be incurred in connection with its disposal thereof (but not more than the Outstanding Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, together with interest at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate accrued on that balance but unpaid to, but not including, the first day of the month of repurchase), such appraisal to be calculated by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Depositor and the Trustee at the expense of the Depositor, (c) unreimbursed out-of pocket costs of the Master Servicer, including unreimbursed Servicing Advances and the principal portion of any unreimbursed Monthly Advances, made on the Mortgage Loans prior to the exercise of such repurchase right and (d) any unreimbursed costs and expenses of the Trustee payable pursuant to Section 9.05 and to the Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement; or
 
(ii)           the later of the making of the final payment or other liquidation, or any advance with respect thereto, of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property acquired with respect to any Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in the event that an advance has been made, but not yet recovered, at the time of such termination, the Person having made such advance shall be entitled to receive, notwithstanding such termination, any payments received subsequent thereto with respect to which such advance was made; or
 
(iii)           the payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to this Agreement.
 
(b)           In no event, however, shall the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of a Loan Group created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the related “latest possible maturity date” specified in Section 5.01(d) or (ii) 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’s, living on the date of this Agreement.
 
(c)           The right of the Depositor or its designee to repurchase all the assets of the Trust Fund relating to a  Loan Group as described in Subsection 10.01(a)(i) above shall be exercisable only if (i) the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loans at the time of any such repurchase is less than 10% of the Cut-Off Date Balance of the related Loan Group, or (ii) the Depositor, based upon an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Depositor and the Trustee, has determined that the REMIC status of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III has been lost or that a substantial risk exists that such REMIC status will be lost for the then-current taxable year. At any time thereafter, in the case of (i) or (ii) above, the Depositor may elect to terminate REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III at any time, and upon such election, the Depositor or its designee, shall repurchase all the assets of the Trust Fund described in Subsection 10.01(a)(i) above.
 
(d)           The Trustee shall give notice of any termination to the related Certificateholders, with a copy to the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies, upon which the Certificateholders shall surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment of the final distribution and cancellation. Such notice shall be given by letter, mailed not earlier than the l5th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution, and shall specify (i) the Distribution Date upon which final payment of the related Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein specified.
 
(e)           If the option of the Depositor to repurchase or cause the repurchase of all the assets in the Trust Fund relating to a Loan Group as described in Subsection 10.01(a)(i) above, is exercised, the Depositor and/or its designee shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account, by the Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date, an amount equal to the related Termination Purchase Price. Upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates by the related Certificateholders, the Trustee shall distribute to such Certificateholders an amount determined as follows: with respect to each related Certificate (other than the Interest Only Certificates), the outstanding Current Principal Amount, plus with respect to each such Certificate, one month’s interest thereon at the applicable Pass-Through Rate; and with respect to the Class R Certificates, the percentage interest evidenced thereby multiplied by the difference, if any, between the above described repurchase price and the aggregate amount to be distributed to the Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates). If the proceeds with respect to the related Mortgage Loans are not sufficient to pay all of the related Senior Certificates in full, any such deficiency shall be allocated first, to the related Subordinate Certificates, in inverse order of their numerical designations and then to the related Senior Certificates on a pro rata basis. Upon deposit of the related Termination Purchase Price and following such final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall release promptly to the Depositor and/or its designee the related Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the related portions of the Accounts with respect thereto shall terminate, subject to the Trustee’s obligation to hold any amounts payable to the related Certificateholders in trust without interest pending final distributions pursuant to Subsection 10.01(g). Any other amounts remaining in the Accounts will belong to the Depositor.
 
(f)           In the event that this Agreement is terminated by reason of the payment or liquidation of the related Mortgage Loans or the disposition of all property acquired with respect to such Mortgage Loans under Subsection 10.01(a)(ii) above, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account all distributable amounts remaining in the Master Servicer Collection Account.  Upon the presentation and surrender of the related Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute to the remaining related Certificateholders, pursuant to the written direction of the Trustee and in accordance with their respective interests, all related distributable amounts remaining in the Distribution Account. Upon deposit by the Master Servicer of such distributable amounts, and following such final Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall release promptly to the Depositor or its designee the related Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Distribution Account shall terminate with respect to a Loan Group, subject to the Paying Agent’s obligation to hold any amounts payable to the related Certificateholders in trust without interest pending final distributions pursuant to this Subsection 10.01(f).
 
(g)           If not all of the related Certificateholders shall surrender their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the time specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the related remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice, not all the related Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or appoint any agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the related remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the related funds and other related assets which remain subject to this Agreement.
 
(h)           The ES Trust shall terminate automatically upon termination of the Trust Fund.
 
Section 10.02                                Additional Termination Requirements with respect to the Certificates.
 
(a)           If the option of the Depositor to repurchase all of the Mortgage Loans and related properties in a Loan Group under Subsection 10.01(a)(i) above is exercised, the related portion of the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been furnished with an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that the failure of the Trust to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.02 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F of the Code on REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III or (ii) cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:
 
 
(i)           The Depositor shall establish a 90-day liquidation period and notify the Trustee thereof, and the Trustee shall in turn specify the first day of such period in a statement attached to the tax return for REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III, as applicable, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.860F-1. The Depositor shall satisfy all the requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee obtained at the expense of the Depositor;
 
 
(ii)           During such 90-day liquidation period, and at or prior to the time of making the final payment on the related Certificates, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of REMIC I or REMIC II for cash; and
 
 
(iii)           At the time of the making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the related Residual Certificates all cash on hand (other than cash retained to meet claims), and REMIC I or REMIC II, as applicable, shall terminate at that time.
 
(b)           By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby authorize the adoption of a 90-day liquidation period and the adoption of a plan of complete liquidation for REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III, as applicable, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor Certificateholders.
 
(c)           The Trustee as agent for REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III, as applicable, hereby agrees to adopt and sign such a plan of complete liquidation meeting the requirements for a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder upon the written request of the Depositor and the receipt of the Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (a)(i) above and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Depositor.

 
 
ARTICLE XI
Miscellaneous Provisions
 
Section 11.01                                Intent of Parties.
 
The parties intend that each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III shall be treated as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and that the ES Trust will qualify as a grantor trust under Subpart E, part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code, of which the Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class I-R-1 Certificates and the Class II-R Certificates) are owners, rather than a partnership, an association taxable as a corporation or a taxable mortgage pool, and that, to the fullest extent possible, beneficial ownership of a Certificate (other than the Class I-R-1 Certificates and the Class II-R Certificates) will be treated as direct beneficial ownership of each individual, uncertificated REMIC III Regular Interest or Class I-R-2 Interest held by the ES Trust for which such Certificate is designated as the Corresponding Certificate in Section 5.01(c)(iii). The provisions of this Agreement should be construed in furtherance of this intent.
 
Section 11.02                                Amendment.
 
(a)           This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, but without notice to or the consent of any of the related Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein or therein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or therein (including to give effect to the expectations of investors), to conform to the language in the prospectus supplement, to comply with any changes in the Code, to revise any provision to reflect the obligations of the parties to this Agreement as they relate to Regulation AB or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any related Certificateholder or cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the ES Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee but not at the Trustee’s expense.
 
(b)           With respect to the Certificates, this Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee, and the Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the applicable Class or Classes, if such amendment affects only such Class or Classes, 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 related Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates then outstanding, or (iii) cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the ES Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee which shall be provided to the Trustee other than at the Trustee’s expense. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this first paragraph of Section 11.02(b), Certificates registered in the name of or held for the benefit of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, or the Trustee or any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to vote their Fractional Undivided Interests with respect to matters affecting such Certificates.
 
(c)           Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee shall furnish a copy of such amendment or written notification of the substance of such amendment to each related Certificateholder, with a copy to the Rating Agencies.
 
(d)           In the case of an amendment under Subsection 11.02(b) above, it shall not be necessary for the related Certificateholders to approve the particular form of such an amendment. Rather, it shall be sufficient if the related Certificateholders approve the substance of the amendment. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by related Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
 
(e)           Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement. 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.
 
Section 11.03                                Recordation of Agreement.
 
To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere. The Depositor shall effect such recordation, at the expense of the Trust upon the request in writing of a Certificateholder, but only if such direction is accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (provided at the expense of the Certificateholder requesting recordation) to the effect that such recordation would materially and beneficially affect the interests of the Certificateholders or is required by law.
 
Section 11.04                                Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
 
(a)           The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not terminate this Agreement or the Trust, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.
 
(b)           Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Certificateholders shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so as to establish the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholders be under any liability to any third Person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
 
(c)           No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon, under or with respect to this Agreement against the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or any successor to any such parties unless (i) such Certificateholder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of a continuing default, as herein provided, (ii) the Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Trust Fund shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs and expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and (iii) the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding.
 
(d)           No one or more Certificateholders shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to affect the rights of any other Certificateholders or to obtain or seek to obtain priority or preference over any other such Certificateholder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 11.04, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
 
Section 11.05                                Acts of Certificateholders.
 
(a)           Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Certificateholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Certificateholders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is expressly required, to the Depositor. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Depositor, if made in the manner provided in this Section 11.05.
 
(b)           The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the individual executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
 
(c)           The ownership of Certificates (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on such Certificates, except an endorsement in accordance with Section 5.02 made on a Certificate presented in accordance with Section 5.04) shall be proved by the Certificate Register, and neither the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor any successor to any such parties shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
 
(d)           Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action of the holder of any Certificate shall bind every future holder of the same Certificate and the holder of every Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer or exchange thereof, if applicable, or in lieu thereof with respect to anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any successor to any such party in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificates.
 
(e)           In determining whether the Holders of the requisite percentage of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Certificates owned by the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be disregarded, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.02(b) and except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Certificates which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Certificates which have been pledged in good faith to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any Affiliate thereof may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgor establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgor’s right to act with respect to such Certificates and that the pledgor is not an Affiliate of the Trustee, the Depositor, or the Master Servicer, as the case may be.
 
Section 11.06                                Governing Law.
 
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE CERTIFICATES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, WHICH THE PARTIES HERETO EXPRESSLY RELY UPON IN THE CHOICE OF SUCH LAW AS THE GOVERNING LAW HEREUNDER) AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the Class [_]-A-[_] Certificates with respect to a portion of a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of fixed rate mortgage loans secured by first liens on one-to-four family residential properties sold by STRUCTURED ASSET MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS II INC.
 
 
 
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
 
This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a portion of a trust (the “Trust Fund”) primarily consisting of fixed rate mortgage loans secured by first liens on one- to four- family residential properties (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc. (“SAMI II”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) and Master Funding LLC to SAMI II.  EMC will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (the “Master Servicer”, which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among EMC Mortgage Corporation, as seller (the “Seller”) and master servicer, SAMI II, as depositor (the “Depositor”) and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them 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 its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
 
[Interest on this Certificate will accrue during the month prior to the month in which a Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) occurs on the Current Principal Amount hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate set forth above and as further described in the Agreement. The Trustee will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in the month immediately following the month of the latest scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on which the Current Principal Amount of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to zero.]
 
[Interest on this Certificate will accrue from and including the 25th day of the calendar month preceding the month in which a Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) occurs  to and including the 24th day of the calendar month in which that Distribution Date occurs on the [Current Principal][Notional] Amount hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate set forth above and as further described in the Agreement. The Trustee will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest [and principal], if any) required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in the month immediately following the month of the latest scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on which the [Current Principal][Notional] Amount of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to zero.  [The Class [_]-A-[_] Certificates have no Current Principal Amount.]]
 
Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Trustee in writing as specified in the Agreement 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 and designated in such notice. The Initial [Current Principal][Notional] Amount of this Certificate is set forth above. [The Current Principal Amount hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.]
 
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.
 
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.
 
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
 
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates, and with the consent of the Insurer with respect to amendments related to the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the portion of the Trust Fund related to such Certificates (or in certain cases, Holders of Certificates of affected Classes evidencing such percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests thereof). 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 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 with the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.
 
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the same Class and in the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
 
No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of the (A) final payment or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (B) disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than the percentage of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance specified in the Agreement of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) the “latest possible maturity date” specified in Section 5.01(d) of the Agreement or (ii) the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement.
 
Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Trustee 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.

evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the Class [_]-B-[_] Certificates with respect to a portion of a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of fixed rate mortgage loans secured by first liens on one-to-four family residential properties sold by STRUCTURED ASSET MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS II INC.
 
 
 
 
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
 
This certifies that [_______] is the registered owner of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a portion of a trust (the “Trust Fund”) primarily consisting of fixed rate mortgage loans secured by first liens on one- to four- family residential properties (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc. (“SAMI II”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) and Master Funding LLC to SAMI II.  EMC will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (the “Master Servicer”, which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among EMC as seller (the “Seller”) and master servicer, SAMI II, as depositor (the “Depositor”) and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them 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 its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
 
Interest on this Certificate will accrue during the month prior to the month in which a Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) occurs on the Current Principal Amount hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate set forth above and as further described in the Agreement. The Trustee will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in the month immediately following the month of the latest scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on which the Current Principal Amount of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to zero.
 
Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Trustee in writing as specified in the Agreement 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 and designated in such notice. The Initial Current Principal Amount of this Certificate is set forth above. The Current Principal Amount hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.
 
[No transfer of this Class [_]-B-[_] Certificate will be made unless such transfer is (i) exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act and laws and (ii) made in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Agreement.   In the event that such transfer is to be made the Trustee shall register such transfer if, (i) made to a transferee who has provided the Trustee with evidence as to its QIB status; or (ii) (A) the transferor has advised the Trustee in writing that the Certificate is being transferred to an Institutional Accredited Investor and (B) prior to such transfer the transferee furnishes to the Trustee an Investment Letter; provided that if based upon an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (A) and (B) above are met sufficient to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable laws.]
 
[For the Class I-B-1, Class I-B-2, Class I-B-3, Class II-B-1, Class II-B-2 and Class II-B-3 Certificates] [Each beneficial owner of this Certificate or any interest herein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of this certificate or interest herein, that either (i) it is not an employee benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Plan”), or investing with assets of a Plan or (ii) it has acquired and is holding such certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption 90-30, as amended from time to time (“Exemption”), and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption, including that the certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-“ (or its equivalent) by Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, Inc., Dominion Bond Rating Service, Inc. (known as DBRS, Inc.), Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited (known as DBRS Limited) or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and the certificate is so rated or (iii) (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 Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.]
 
[For the Class I-B-4, Class I-B-5, Class I-B-6, Class II-B-4, Class II-B-5 and Class II-B-6 Certificates] [This Certificate may not be acquired directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, unless the transferee certifies or represents that the proposed transfer and holding of a Certificate and the servicing, management and operation of the trust and its assets: (i) will not result in any prohibited transaction which is not covered under an individual or class prohibited transaction exemption, including, but not limited to, Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14, PTCE 91-38, PTCE 90-1, PTCE 95-60 or PTCE 96-23 and (ii) will not give rise to any additional obligations on the part of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, which will be deemed represented by an owner of a Book-Entry Certificate or a Global Certificate or unless the opinion specified in section 5.07 of the Agreement is provided.]
 
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.
 
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.
 
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
 
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates, and with the consent of the Insurer with respect to amendments related to the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the portion of the Trust Fund related to such Certificates (or in certain cases, Holders of Certificates of affected Classes evidencing such percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests thereof). 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 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 with the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.
 
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the same Class and in the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
 
No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of the (A) final payment or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (B) disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than the percentage of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance specified in the Agreement of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) the “latest possible maturity date” specified in Section 5.01(d) of the Agreement or (ii) the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement.
 
Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Trustee 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.

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
 
This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a portion of a trust (the “Trust Fund”) primarily consisting of fixed rate mortgage loans secured by first liens on one- to four- family residential properties (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc. (“SAMI II”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) and Master Funding LLC to SAMI II.  EMC will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (the “Master Servicer”, which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among EMC Mortgage Corporation, as seller (the “Seller”) and master servicer, SAMI II, as depositor (the “Depositor”) and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them 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 its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
 
The Trustee will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount of principal required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in the month immediately following the month of the latest scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on which the Current Principal Amount of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to zero.
 
Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Trustee in writing as specified in the Agreement 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 and designated in such notice. The Initial Current Principal Amount of this Certificate is set forth above. The Current Principal Amount hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.
 
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.
 
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.
 
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
 
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates, and with the consent of the Insurer with respect to amendments related to the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the portion of the Trust Fund related to such Certificates (or in certain cases, Holders of Certificates of affected Classes evidencing such percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests thereof). 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 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 with the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.
 
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the same Class and in the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
 
No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of the (A) final payment or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (B) disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than the percentage of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance specified in the Agreement of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) the “latest possible maturity date” specified in Section 5.01(d) of the Agreement or (ii) the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement.
 
Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the Class [_]-R-[_] Certificates with respect to a portion of a Trust Fund (as defined below) consisting primarily of a pool of fixed rate mortgage loans secured by first liens on one-to-four family residential properties sold by STRUCTURED ASSET MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS II INC.
 
 
 
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
 
This certifies that Bear, Stearns Securities Corp. is the registered owner of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a portion of a trust (the “Trust Fund”) primarily consisting of fixed rate mortgage loans secured by first liens on one- to four- family residential properties   (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc. (“SAMI II”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) and Master Funding LLC to SAMI II.  EMC will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (the “Master Servicer”, which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement’), among SAMI II, as depositor (the “Depositor”), EMC, as seller and master servicer and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them 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 its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
 
Interest on this Certificate will accrue during the month prior to the month in which a Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) occurs on the Current Principal Amount hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate set forth above and as further described in the Agreement.  The Trustee will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in the month immediately following the month of the latest scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on which the Current Principal Amount of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to zero.
 
Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Trustee in writing as specified in the Agreement 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 and designated in such notice. The Initial Current Principal Amount of this Certificate is set forth above. The Current Principal Amount hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.
 
Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the restrictions set forth in the Agreement to the effect that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee, (ii) the transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate will be conditioned upon the delivery to SAMI II and the Trustee of, among other things, an affidavit to the effect that it is a United States Person and Permitted Transferee, (iii) any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the purported transferee, and (iv) if any person other than a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions, then the Depositor will have the right, in its sole discretion and without notice to the Holder of this Certificate, to sell this Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Depositor, which purchaser may be the Depositor, or any affiliate of the Depositor, on such terms and conditions as the Depositor may choose.
 
This certificate may not be acquired directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject to title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and/or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, unless the proposed transferee provides the Trustee with an opinion of counsel addressed to the Trustee and Master Servicer and on which they may rely (which shall not be at the expense of the Trustee or Master Servicer) which is acceptable to the Trustee, that the purchase of this Certificate will not result in or constitute a nonexempt prohibited transaction, is permissible under applicable law and will not give rise to any additional fiduciary obligations on the part of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee.
 
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.
 
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.
 
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
 
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates, and with the consent of the Insurer with respect to amendments related to the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the portion of the Trust Fund related to such Certificates (or in certain cases, Holders of Certificates of affected Classes evidencing such percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests thereof). 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 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 with the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.
 
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the same Class and in the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
 
No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of the (A) final payment or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (B) disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than the percentage of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance specified in the Agreement of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) the “latest possible maturity date” specified in Section 5.01(d) of the Agreement or (ii) the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement.
 
Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of the Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
 
This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a portion of a trust (the “Trust Fund”) primarily consisting of fixed rate mortgage loans secured by first liens on one- to four- family residential properties (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc. (“SAMI II”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) and Master Funding LLC to SAMI II. EMC will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (the “Master Servicer”, which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among SAMI II, as depositor (the “Depositor”), EMC Mortgage Corporation, as seller and master servicer, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them 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 its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
 
Interest on this Certificate will accrue during the month prior to the month in which a Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) occurs on the Notional Amount hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate set forth above and as further described in the Agreement. The Trustee will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in the month immediately following the month of the latest scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on which the Notional Amount of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to zero.
 
Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Paying Agent by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Trustee in writing as specified in the Agreement by wire transfer. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Paying Agent 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 and designated in such notice. The Initial Notional Amount of this Certificate is set forth above. The Notional Amount hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.
 
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates, evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the portion of the Trust Fund related to such Certificates (or in certain cases, Holders of Certificates of affected Classes evidencing such percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests thereof). 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 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 with the certificate registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.
 
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the same Class and in the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of the (A) final payment or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (B) disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than the percentage of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance specified in the Agreement of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) the “latest possible maturity date” specified in Section 5.01(d) of the Agreement or (ii) the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement.

Exchangeable Certificates and Exchanged Certificates may be exchanged only in the proportions shown in this Exhibit C. In any exchange, the relative proportions of the Exchangeable Certificates or Exchanged Certificates to be delivered (or, if applicable, received) in such exchange will equal the proportions reflected by the outstanding Current Principal Amounts of the Exchangeable Certificates or Exchanged Certificates at the time of exchange.
 
(2)
If, as a result of a proposed exchange, a Certificateholder would hold a Exchangeable Certificate or Exchanged Certificate of a class in an amount less than the applicable minimum denomination for that class, the Certificateholder will be unable to effect the proposed exchange. See “Description of the Certificates— Book-Entry Certificates; Denominations” in the prospectus supplement.
 
(3)
On each distribution date, holders of each Class of Exchanged Certificates will be entitled to receive interest distributions in an amount equal to the Accrued Certificate Interest on that class on each distribution date based on the pass-through rate as described in the prospectus supplement.
 
(4)
On each distribution date, principal allocable to the Exchanged Certificates will be distributed in the following order of priority:
 
(A)           Combination Group I. To the Class I-A-3 Certificates and Class I-A-4 Certificates, concurrently, on a pro rata basis until the Current Principal Amounts thereof are reduced to zero.

The undersigned is the [Title of Officer] of [Name of Transferee] (the “Investor”), the proposed transferee of an Ownership Interest in the Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3, Class [_]-R-[_] Certificates (the “Certificates”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2007 (the “Agreement”), among Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc. as depositor (the “Depositor”), EMC Mortgage Corporation as seller and master servicer, and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”), and makes this affidavit on behalf of the Investor for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee.  Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.
 
1.  The Investor is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee.  The Investor is not acquiring its ownership interest in the Certificates for the account of a Person other than a Permitted Transferee.
 
2.  The Investor has been advised 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 a subsequent transferee furnishes 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.
 
3.  The Investor has been advised 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 Investor 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.)
 
4.  The Investor has reviewed the provisions of Section 6.02(i) 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 any prohibited Transfers and mandatory sales.  The Investor expressly agrees to be bound by, and to abide by, such provisions of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the Certificates.  The Investor understands and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the Transfer of the Certificates to the Investor contemplated hereby null and void. The Investor consents to any amendment of the Agreement that shall be deemed necessary by the Depositor (upon advice of nationally recognized counsel) to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Certificates will not be owned directly or indirectly by a Person other than a Permitted Transferee.
 
5.  The Investor agrees not to Transfer the Certificates, or cause the Transfer of the Certificates by a Person for whom the Investor is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, in each case unless it has received an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement containing these same representations and covenants from the subsequent transferee.  In connection with any such Transfer by the Investor, the Investor agrees to deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor an affidavit substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit R to the Agreement to the effect that the Investor has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
 
6.  The Investor has historically paid its debts as they have come due, intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future, and understands that the taxes associated with holder an ownership interest in the Certificates may exceed the cash flow with respect thereto in some or all periods and intends to pay such taxes as they become due.  The Investor does not have the intention, and no purpose of the Transfer of the Certificates to the Investor is, to impede the assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Certificates.
 
7.  The Investor’s U.S. taxpayer identification number is [_____________].
 
8.  The Investor is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “United State Person”).
 
9.  The Investor is aware that the Certificates may be a “noneconomic residual interest” within the meaning of Treasury regulations promulgated under Section 860E of 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.
 
10.  The Investor will not cause income from the Certificates to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Investor or any other United States Person.
 
11.  Check one of the following:
 
 o The Transfer of the Certificates complies with U.S. Treasury Regulation Sections 1.860E-1(c)(7) and (8) and, accordingly:
 
(i)           the present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Certificates does not exceed the sum of:
 
 
(a)
the present value of any consideration given to the Investor to acquire such Certificates;
 
 
(b)
the present value of the expected future distributions on such Certificates; and
 
 
(c)
the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Certificates as the related REMIC generates losses; and
 
(ii)           the Transfer of the Certificates will not result in such Certificates being held, directly or indirectly, by a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Investor or any other United States Person.
 
For purposes of the calculation in clause (i) above, (x) the Investor is assumed to pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b)(1) of the Code (but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Section 11(b)(1) of the Code if the Investor has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (y) present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Investor.
 
  The Transfer of the Certificates complies with U.S. Treasury Regulation Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly:
 
 
(i)
the Investor is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Certificates will only be taxed in the United States;
 
 
(ii)
at the time of the Transfer, and at the close of the Investor’s two fiscal years preceding the fiscal year of the transfer, the Investor had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a “related person” to the Investor within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii) and any other asset the principal purpose of which is to permit the Investor to satisfy the condition of this clause (ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million;
 
 
(iii)
the Investor will transfer the Certificates only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction in which the requirements of U.S. Treasury Regulation Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and -1(c)(5) are satisfied and, accordingly, the subsequent transferee provides a similar affidavit with this box checked; and
 
 
(iv)
the Investor determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Certificates based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Investor) that it has determined in good faith and has concluded that such consideration, together with other assets of the Investor, will be sufficient to cover the taxes associated with the Certificates.
 
 o None of the above.
 
 

 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Investor has caused this instrument to be executed on its behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its [Title of Officer] this ____ day of _________, 20__.

WITNESSETH THAT:
 
WHEREAS, the Depositor, EMC Mortgage Corporation, as a seller (in such capacity, “EMC”), the Master Servicer and the Trustee have entered into a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2007, relating to the issuance of Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 (as in effect on the date of this agreement, and as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”).
 
WHEREAS, the Custodian has agreed to act as agent for the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders for the purposes of receiving and holding certain documents and other instruments delivered by the Depositor, the Sellers or the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Servicers under their respective Servicing Agreements, all upon the terms, conditions and obligations and subject to the limitations hereinafter set forth. In the event any custodian terms, conditions and obligations are defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this custodial agreement shall supersede.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Sellers, the Master Servicer and the Custodian hereby agree as follows:
 
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
 
Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, unless otherwise required by the context herein.
 
ARTICLE II
CUSTODY OF MORTGAGE DOCUMENTS
 
Section 2.1.  Custodian to Act as Agent: Acceptance of Mortgage Files.  The Custodian, as the duly appointed custodial agent of the Trustee for these purposes, acknowledges (subject to any exceptions noted in the Initial Certification referred to in Section 2.3(a)) receipt of the Mortgage Files relating to the Mortgage Loans identified on the schedule attached hereto (the “Mortgage Files”) and declares that it holds and will hold such Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, in trust, for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
 
Section 2.2.  Recordation of Assignments.  If any Mortgage File includes one or more assignments of Mortgage that have not been recorded pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan is not a MOM Loan or the related Mortgaged Properties are located in jurisdictions specifically excluded by the Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each such assignment shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Depositor for the purpose of recording it in the appropriate public office for real property records, and the Depositor, at no expense to the Custodian, shall promptly cause to be recorded in the appropriate public office for real property records each such assignment of Mortgage and, upon receipt thereof from such public office, shall return each such assignment of Mortgage to the Custodian.
 
Section 2.3.  Review of Mortgage Files.
 
(a)  On or prior to the Closing Date, in accordance with Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall deliver to EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding), the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit One evidencing receipt (subject to any exceptions noted therein) of a Mortgage File for each of the Mortgage Loans listed on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”).
 
(b)  Within 90 days of the Closing Date, the Custodian agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders, to review, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each such document, and shall deliver to EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding), the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee an Interim Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Two to the effect that all such documents have been executed and received and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except for any exceptions listed on Schedule A attached to such Interim Certification. The Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same 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.
 
(c)  Not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian shall review,  for the benefit of Certificateholders, the Mortgage Files as provided in Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and deliver to EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding), the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Three evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files.
 
(d)  In reviewing the Mortgage Files as provided herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall make no representation as to and shall not be responsible to verify (i) the validity, legality, enforceability, due authorization, recordability, sufficiency or genuineness of any of the documents included in any Mortgage File or (ii) the collectability, insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any of the documents in any Mortgage File.
 
Upon receipt of written request from EMC, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, the Custodian shall as soon as practicable supply such Person with a list of all of the documents relating to the Mortgage Loans missing from the Mortgage Files.
 
Section 2.4.  Notification of Breaches of Representations and Warranties.  Upon discovery by the Custodian of a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Depositor as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to a Mortgage Loan relating to a Mortgage File, the Custodian shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee.
 
Section 2.5.  Custodian to Cooperate: Release of Mortgage Files.  Upon receipt of written notice from the Depositor that EMC has repurchased one or more Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and a request for release (a “Request for Release”) confirming that the purchase price therefor has been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account or the Distribution Account, then the Custodian agrees to promptly release to the Seller the related Mortgage Files.
 
Upon the Custodian’s receipt of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit D to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement signed by a Servicing Officer of the related Servicer, stating that it has received payment in full of a Mortgage Loan or that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Custodian agrees promptly to release to the related Servicer, the related Mortgage File.  The Depositor shall deliver to the Custodian and the Custodian agrees to review in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement the Mortgage Note and other documents constituting the Mortgage File with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan.
 
From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose collection under any Primary Insurance Policy, the related Servicer (or if the Servicer does not, the Master Servicer) shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer requesting that possession of all of the Mortgage File be released to the related Servicer and certifying as to the reason for such release and that such release will not invalidate any insurance coverage provided in respect of the Mortgage Loan under any of the Insurance Policies. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File to the related Servicer. All Mortgage Files so released to the related Servicer shall be held by it in trust for the Trustee for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The related Servicer shall cause each Mortgage File or any document therein so released to be returned to the Custodian when the need therefor by the related Servicer no longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account or the Distribution Account or (ii) the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the related Servicer has delivered to the Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.
 
At any time that the related Servicer is required to deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release, the related Servicer shall deliver two copies of the Request for Release if delivered in hard copy or the related Servicer may furnish such Request for Release electronically to the Custodian, in which event the Servicing Officer transmitting the same shall be deemed to have signed the Request for Release. In connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage File because of a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan, such Request for Release shall be followed by an assignment of mortgage, without recourse, representation or warranty from the Trustee to the Seller (unless such Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan) and the related Mortgage Note shall be endorsed without recourse, representation or warranty by the Trustee and be returned to the Seller; provided, however, that in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is registered on the MERS System, no assignment of mortgage or endorsement of the Mortgage Note by the Trustee shall be required.  In connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage File because of the payment in full of a Mortgage Loan, such Request for Release shall be accompanied by a certificate of satisfaction or other similar instrument to be executed by or on behalf of the Trustee and returned to the related Servicer.
 
Section 2.6.  Assumption Agreements.  In the event that any assumption agreement, substitution of liability agreement or sale of servicing agreement is entered into with respect to any Mortgage Loan subject to this Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the related Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement to notify the Custodian that such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian the original of such assumption or substitution agreement, which shall be added to the related Mortgage File and, for all purposes, shall be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting parts thereof.
 
ARTICLE III
CONCERNING THE CUSTODIAN
 
Section 3.1.  Custodian as Bailee and Agent of the Trustee.  With respect to each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and other documents constituting each Mortgage File which are delivered to the Custodian, the Custodian is exclusively the bailee and custodial agent of the Trustee and has no instructions to hold any Mortgage Note or Mortgage for the benefit of any person other than the Trustee and the Certificateholders and undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 2.5 of this Agreement, no Mortgage Note, Mortgage or Mortgage File shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Depositor, the Servicers or the Master Servicer or otherwise released from the possession of the Custodian.
 
Section 3.2.  Custodian May Own Certificates.  The Custodian in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not Custodian.
 
Section 3.3.  Trustee to Pay Custodian’s Fees.  The Trustee covenants and agrees to pay to the Custodian from time to time, and the Custodian shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Custodian.
 
Section 3.4.  Custodian May Resign; Trustee May Remove Custodian.  The Custodian may resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed upon it as such obligations and duties relate to its acting as Custodian of the Mortgage Loans. Upon receiving such written notice of resignation, the Trustee shall either take custody of the Mortgage Files itself and give prompt written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Custodian, or promptly appoint a successor Custodian by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Custodian and one copy to the successor Custodian. If the Trustee shall not have taken custody of the Mortgage Files and no successor Custodian shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such written notice of resignation, the resigning Custodian may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Custodian.
 
The Trustee may remove the Custodian at any time with the consent of the Master Servicer. In such event, the Trustee shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Custodian hereunder. Any successor Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, shall be able to satisfy the other requirements contained in Section 3.6 and shall be unaffiliated with the Servicer, or the Depositor.
 
Any resignation or removal of the Custodian and appointment of a successor Custodian pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 3.4 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Custodian. The Trustee shall give prompt notice to the Depositor and the Master Servicer of the appointment of any successor Custodian. No successor Custodian shall be appointed by the Trustee without the prior approval of the Depositor and the Master Servicer.
 
Section 3.5.  Merger or Consolidation of Custodian.  Any Person into which the Custodian may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Custodian shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Custodian, shall be the successor of the Custodian hereunder, 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; provided that such successor is a depository institution subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and is able to satisfy the other requirements contained in Section 3.6 and is unaffiliated with the Master Servicer or the Depositor.
 
Section 3.6.  Representations of the Custodian.  The Custodian hereby represents that it is a depository institution subject to supervision or examination by a federal or state authority, has a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000 and is qualified to do business in the jurisdictions in which it will hold any Mortgage File.
 
ARTICLE IV

Section 4.1.  Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purpose of this Article IV is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. The Depositor shall not exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the mortgage-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. The Custodian shall cooperate reasonably with the Depositor to deliver to the Depositor (including any of its assignees or designees), any and all disclosure, statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the reasonable, good faith determination of the Depositor to permit the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB.
 
Section 4.2.  Additional Representations and Warranties of the Custodian.
 
(a)  The Custodian hereby represents and warrants that the information set forth in the Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Description of the Certificates – The Custodians” (the “Custodian Disclosure”) does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
 
(b)  The Custodian shall be deemed to represent to the Depositor as of the date hereof and on each date on which information is provided to the Depositor under Section 4.3 that, except as disclosed in writing to the Depositor prior to such date: (i) there are no aspects of its financial condition that could have a material adverse effect on the performance by it of its Custodian obligations under this Agreement or any other Securitization Transaction as to which it is the custodian; (ii) there are no material legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against it; and (iii) there are no affiliations, relationships or transactions relating to the Custodian with respect to the Depositor or any sponsor, issuing entity, servicer, trustee, originator, significant obligor, enhancement or support provider or other material transaction party (as such terms are used in Regulation AB) relating to the Securitization Transaction contemplated by the Agreement, as identified by the Depositor to the Custodian in writing as of the Closing Date (each, a “Transaction Party”).
 
(c)  If so requested by the Depositor on any date following the Closing Date, the Custodian shall, within five Business Days following such request, confirm in writing the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section or, if any such representation and warranty is not accurate as of the date of such confirmation, provide reasonably adequate disclosure of the pertinent facts, in writing, to the requesting party. Any such request from the Depositor shall not be given more than once each calendar quarter, unless the Depositor shall have a reasonable basis for a determination that any of the representations and warranties may not be accurate.
 
Section 4.3.  Additional Information to Be Provided by the Custodian.  For so long as the Certificates are outstanding, for the purpose of satisfying the Depositor's reporting obligation under the Exchange Act with respect to any class of Certificates, the Custodian shall (a) notify the Depositor in writing of any material litigation or governmental proceedings pending against the Custodian that would be material to Certificateholders, and (b) provide to the Depositor a written description of such proceedings. Any notices and descriptions required under this Section 4.3 shall be given no later than five Business Days prior to the Determination Date following the month in which the Custodian has knowledge of the occurrence of the relevant event. As of the date the Depositor, the Trustee or Master Servicer files each Report on Form 10-D or Form 10-K with respect to the Certificates, the Custodian will be deemed to represent that any information previously provided under this Section 4.3, if any, is materially correct and does not have any material omissions unless the Custodian has provided an update to such information.

The Assessment of Compliance, as set forth in Regulation AB, must contain (i) a statement by such officer of its responsibility for assessing compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Custodian, (ii) a statement by such officer that the Custodian used the Servicing Criteria attached as Exhibit Four hereto, and which will also be attached to the Assessment of Compliance, to assess compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Custodian, (iii) an assessment by such officer of the Custodian’s compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year, including disclosure of any material instance of noncompliance with respect thereto during such period, which assessment shall be based on the activities the Custodian performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Custodian, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans, (iv) a statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the Custodian’s Assessment of Compliance for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year, and (v) a statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable to the Custodian, which statement shall be based on the activities the Custodian performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Custodian, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans. Such report at a minimum shall address each of the Servicing Criteria identified and marked on Exhibit Four attached hereto as being applicable to the Custodian; and
 
(b)  deliver to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor an Attestation Report (an “Attestation Report”) by a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the Assessment of Compliance made by the Custodian, as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB, which Attestation Report must be made in accordance with standards for attestation reports issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
 
(c)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Assessment of Compliance is not required to be delivered by the Custodian unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund.
 
(d)  In the event the Custodian is terminated under, or resigns pursuant to, the terms of this Agreement, the Custodian shall provide an Assessment of Compliance and cause to be provided an Attestation Report pursuant to this Section 4.4 notwithstanding any such termination or resignation.
 
Section 4.5.  Indemnification; Remedies.
 
(a)  The Custodian shall indemnify the Depositor, each affiliate of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and each broker dealer acting as underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of the Certificates or each Person who controls any of such parties (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act); and the respective present and former directors, officers, employees and agents of each of the foregoing, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising out of or based upon:
 
(i)  (A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in the Custodian Disclosure and any information, report, certification, accountants’ attestation or other material provided under this Article IV by or on behalf of the Custodian (collectively, the “Custodian Information”), or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Custodian Information a material fact required to be stated in the Custodian Information or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or
 
(ii)  any failure by the Custodian to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ attestation or other material when and as required under this Article IV.
 
(b)  In the case of any failure of performance described in clause (ii) of Section 4.5(a), the Custodian shall promptly reimburse the Depositor for all costs reasonably incurred by the Depositor in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required by the Custodian.

CUSTODY OF MORTGAGE DOCUMENTS
 
Section 2.1.                                Custodian to Act as Agent: Acceptance of Mortgage Files.  The Custodian, as the duly appointed agent of the Trustee for these purposes, acknowledges (subject to any exceptions noted in the Initial Certification referred to in Section 2.3(a)) receipt of the Mortgage Files relating to the Mortgage Loans attached hereto (the "Mortgage Files") and declares that it holds and will hold such Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, in trust, for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

(c)           Not later than 180 days after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loans, within 5 Business Days after the receipt by the Trustee or the Custodian thereof), the Custodian shall review the Mortgage Files relating to the Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and execute and deliver to the Depositor, EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding), the Master Servicer and the Trustee a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Three evidencing the completeness of such Mortgage Files.
 
(d)           In reviewing the Mortgage Files relating to the Mortgage Loans as provided herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall make no representation as to and shall not be responsible to verify (i) the validity, legality, enforceability, due authorization, recordability, sufficiency or genuineness of any of the documents included in any Mortgage File or (ii) the collectibility, insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any of the documents in any Mortgage File.
 
Upon receipt of written request from the Trustee, the Custodian shall as soon as practicable supply the requesting party with a list of all of the documents missing from the Mortgage Loans then contained in the Mortgage Files.
 
Section 2.4.                                Notification of Breaches of Representations and Warranties.  Upon discovery by the Custodian of a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Depositor as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to a Mortgage Loan relating to a Mortgage File, the Custodian shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the applicable Servicer and the Trustee.
 
Section 2.5.                                Custodian to Cooperate: Release of Mortgage Files.  Upon receipt of written notice from the Master Servicer or the Trustee that the Sellers have repurchased a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Article II of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and that the Repurchase Price therefor has been deposited in the Distribution Account, and a Request for Release (as defined below), the Custodian agrees to promptly release to the Sellers the related Mortgage File.
 
Upon the Custodian's receipt of a request for release (a "Request for Release") substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement signed by an officer of the related Servicer involved in, or responsible for, the administration and servicing of the Mortgage Loans whose name appears on a list of servicing officers furnished by such Servicer upon request, as such list may from time to time be amended (each, a “Servicing Officer”) stating that it has received payment in full of a Mortgage Loan or that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Custodian agrees to promptly release to such Servicer the related Mortgage File.  The Depositor shall deliver to the Custodian, and the Custodian agrees to accept, the Mortgage Note and other documents constituting the Mortgage File with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan, which documents the Custodian will review to the extent provided in Article II of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the related Servicer shall (or if the related Servicer does not, then the Master Servicer may) deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer requesting that possession of all of the related Mortgage File be released to such Servicer and certifying as to the reason for such release and that such release will not invalidate any insurance coverage provided in respect of the related Mortgage Loan under any of the Insurance Policies.  Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver such Mortgage File to the related Servicer.  All Mortgage Files so released to the related Servicer shall be held by it in trust for the Trustee for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.  The related Servicer shall cause each Mortgage File or any document therein so released to be returned to the Custodian when the need therefor by such Servicer no longer exists, unless (i) such Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the related Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Distribution Account or (ii) such Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the related Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the related Servicer has delivered to the Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.
 
At any time that a Servicer or the Master Servicer is required to deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release, such Servicer or the Master Servicer shall deliver two copies of the Request for Release if delivered in hard copy or such Servicer or the Master Servicer may furnish such Request for Release electronically to the Custodian, in which event the Servicing Officer transmitting the same shall be deemed to have signed such Request for Release. In connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage File because of a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan, the assignment of mortgage and the related Mortgage Note shall be returned to the related Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, for execution and endorsement, respectively, pursuant to a power of attorney from the Trustee and for delivery to the Sellers.  If the related Servicer or the Master Servicer does not have a power of attorney from the Trustee to execute the applicable assignment and to endorse the related Mortgage Note, such Request for Release shall be accompanied by an assignment of mortgage, without recourse, executed by the Trustee to the Sellers and the related Mortgage Note shall be endorsed without recourse by the Trustee (if not in blank) and be returned to the related Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, for delivery to the Sellers; provided, however, that in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is registered on the MERS® System, no assignment of mortgage or endorsement of the Mortgage Note by the Trustee, or by the related Servicer or the Master Servicer pursuant to a power of attorney from the Trustee, shall be required.  In connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage File because of the payment in full of a Mortgage Loan and if the related Servicer or the Master Servicer does not have a power of attorney from the Trustee to execute the applicable certificate of satisfaction or similar instrument, such Request for Release shall be accompanied by a certificate of satisfaction or other similar instrument to be executed by or on behalf of the Trustee and returned to the related Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable.
 
Section 2.6.                                Assumption Agreements.  In the event that any assumption agreement,  substitution of liability agreement or sale of servicing agreement is entered into with respect to any Mortgage Loan subject to this Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement, shall cause the related Servicer to notify the Custodian that such assumption agreement, substitution of liability agreement or sale of servicing agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian the original of such assumption agreement, substitution of liability agreement or sale of servicing agreement, which shall be added to the related Mortgage File and, for all purposes, shall be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting parts thereof.
 
ARTICLE III.
CONCERNING THE CUSTODIAN
 
Section 3.1.                                Custodian as Bailee and Agent of the Trustee.  With respect to each Mortgage Note and other documents constituting each Mortgage File relating to the Mortgage Loans which are delivered to the Custodian, the Custodian is exclusively the bailee and agent of the Trustee and has no instructions to hold any Mortgage Note or Mortgage File for the benefit of any person other than the Trustee and the Certificateholders and undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.  Except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 2.5 of this Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan, no Mortgage Note, Mortgage or Mortgage File shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Depositor, the Sellers, any Servicer or the Master Servicer or otherwise released from the possession of the Custodian.

Section 3.5.                                Custodian May Resign; Trustee May Remove Custodian.  The Custodian may resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed upon it as such obligations and duties relate to its acting as Custodian of the Mortgage Loans.  Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Trustee shall either take custody of the Mortgage Files itself and give prompt notice thereof to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers and the Custodian, or promptly appoint a successor Custodian by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Custodian and one copy to the successor Custodian.  If the Trustee shall not have taken custody of the Mortgage Files and no successor Custodian shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Custodian may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Custodian.
 
The Trustee may remove the Custodian at any time with the consent of the Master Servicer.  In such event, the Trustee shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Custodian hereunder.  Any successor Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, shall be able to satisfy the other requirements contained in Section 3.7 and shall be unaffiliated with any Servicer or the Depositor.
 
Any resignation or removal of the Custodian and appointment of a successor Custodian pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 3.5 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Custodian.  The Trustee shall give prompt notice to the Depositor and the Master Servicer of the appointment of any successor Custodian.  No successor Custodian shall be appointed by the Trustee without the prior approval of the Depositor and the Master Servicer.
 
Section 3.6.                                Merger or Consolidation of Custodian.  Any Person into which the Custodian may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Custodian shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Custodian, shall be the successor of the Custodian hereunder (provided such Person shall satisfy the requirements set forth in Section 3.7), 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 3.7.                                Representations of the Custodian.  The Custodian hereby represents, and any successor Custodian hereunder shall represent, that it is a depository institution subject to supervision or examination by a federal or state authority, has a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000 and is qualified to do business in the jurisdictions in which it will hold any Mortgage File.

Section 4.1.                                Intent of the parties; Reasonableness.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purpose of this Article IV is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor and the Master Servicer with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission.  The Depositor and the Master Servicer shall not exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.  Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the mortgage-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and the Custodian agrees to comply with requests made by the Depositor and the Master Servicer in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB to the extent reasonably practicable, unless otherwise advised in writing by counsel.  The Custodian shall cooperate reasonably with the Depositor and the Master Servicer to deliver to the Depositor and the Master Servicer (including any of their respective assignees or designees), any and all disclosure, statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the reasonable, good faith determination of the Depositor and the Master Servicer to permit the Depositor and the Master Servicer to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB.
 
Section 4.2.                                Additional Representations and Warranties of the Custodian.
 
(a)           The Custodian hereby represents and warrants that the information with respect to the Custodian set forth in the Prospectus Supplement under the caption "Description of the Certificates—The Custodians—Treasury Bank" (the "Custodian Disclosure") does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
 
(b)           The Custodian shall be deemed to represent to the Depositor as of the date hereof and on each date on which information is provided to the Depositor under Section 4.3 that, except as disclosed in writing to the Depositor prior to such date: (i) there are no aspects of its financial condition that could have a material adverse effect on the performance by it of its Custodian obligations under this Agreement; (ii) there are no material legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against it that would affect or interfere with the performance of its obligations hereunder; and (iii) there are no affiliations, relationships or transactions relating to the Custodian with respect to the Depositor or any sponsor, issuing entity, servicer (other than Countrywide Home Loan Servicing LP), trustee, originator, significant obligor, enhancement or support provider or other material transaction party (as such terms are used in Regulation AB) relating to the securitization transaction contemplated by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as identified by the Depositor to the Custodian in writing as of the Closing Date (each, a "Transaction Party") that would affect or interfere with the performance of its obligations hereunder and have not been previously disclosed to the Depositor and the Trustee.
 
(c)           If so requested by the Depositor on any date following the Closing Date, the Custodian shall, within five Business Days following such request, confirm in writing the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraph (1) of this section or, if any such representation and warranty is not accurate as of the date of such confirmation, provide reasonably adequate disclosure of the pertinent facts, in writing, to the requesting party. Any such request from the Depositor shall not be given more than once each calendar quarter, unless the Depositor shall have a reasonable basis for a determination that any of the representations and warranties may not be accurate.
 
Section 4.3.                                Additional Information to Be Provided by the Custodian.  For so long as the Certificates are outstanding, for the purpose of satisfying the Depositor’s reporting obligation under the Exchange Act with respect to any class of Certificates, the Custodian shall (a) notify the Depositor and the Master Servicer in writing of any material litigation or governmental proceedings pending against the Custodian (including any such proceedings known to be contemplated by the governmental authorities) that would be material to Certificateholders, and (b) provide to the Depositor and the Master Servicer a written description of such proceedings. Any notices and descriptions required under this Section 4.3 shall be given no later than five Business Days prior to the Determination Date following the month in which the Custodian has knowledge of the occurrence of the relevant event. As of the date the Depositor, the Trustee or the Master Servicer files each Report on Form 10-D or Form 10-K with respect to the Certificates, the Custodian will be deemed to represent that any information previously provided under this Section 4.3, if any, is materially correct and does not have any material omissions unless the Custodian has provided an update to such information.
 
Section 4.4.                                Report on Assessment of Compliance and Attestation.  On or before March 15 of each calendar year in which a Form 10-K is required to be filed with respect to the Trust, the Custodian shall:
 
(a)           deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee a report (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor) regarding the Custodian’s assessment of compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria as set forth in Exhibit Four during the immediately preceding calendar year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB.  Such report shall be addressed to the Depositor and signed by an authorized officer of the Custodian, and shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit Four hereto; and
 
(b)           deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, a report of a registered public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Depositor that attests to, and reports on, the assessment of compliance made by the Custodian and delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph. Such attestation shall be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
 
Section 4.5.                                Indemnification; Remedies.
 
(a)           The Custodian shall indemnify the Depositor, each affiliate of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and each broker dealer acting as underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of the Certificates or each Person who controls any of such parties (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act); and the respective present and former directors, officers, employees and agents of each of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified Party”), and shall hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising out of or based upon:
 
(i)           (A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in the Custodian Disclosure and any information, report, certification, accountants’ attestation or other material provided under this Article IV by or on behalf of the Custodian (collectively, the “Custodian Information”), or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Custodian Information a material fact required to be stated in the Custodian Information or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or
 
(ii)           any failure by the Custodian to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ attestation or other material when and as required under this Article IV; or
 
(iii)           the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Custodian in the performance of its obligations under this Article IV.
 
(b)           In the case of any failure of performance described in clause (ii) of Section 4.5(a), the Custodian shall promptly reimburse the Depositor and the Master Servicer for all costs reasonably incurred by the Depositor and the Master Servicer, respectively, in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required by the Custodian.
 
(c)           In no event shall the Custodian or its directors, officers and employees be liable for any special, indirect or consequential damages from any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
 
If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then the Custodian agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Custodian on the other.  This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of the Custodian.

SECTION 4.  Mortgage Loan Transfer.
 
(a)  The Purchaser will be entitled to all scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date (regardless of when actually collected) and all payments thereon, other than scheduled principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date but received after the Cut-off Date. Each Seller will be entitled to all scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date (including payments collected after the Cut-off Date) and all payments thereon, other than scheduled principal and interest due after the Cut-off Date but received on or before the Cut-off Date.

In connection with the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans, each Seller has delivered or will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee by the Closing Date or such later date as is agreed to by the Purchaser and such Seller (each of the Closing Date and such later date is referred to as a “Mortgage File Delivery Date”), the items of each Mortgage File, provided, however, that in lieu of the foregoing, each Seller may deliver the following documents, under the circumstances set forth below: (w) in lieu of the original Security Instrument (other than the Mortgages related to the EMC Flow Loans), assignments to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof which have been delivered, are being delivered or will, upon receipt of recording information relating to the Security Instrument required to be included thereon, be delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned to the related Seller in time to permit their delivery as specified above, the related Seller may deliver a true copy thereof with a certification, on the face of such copy, substantially as follows: “Certified to be a true and correct copy of the original”; (x) in lieu of the Security Instrument (other than the Mortgages related to the EMC Flow Loans), assignments to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof, if the applicable jurisdiction retains the originals of such documents (as evidenced by a certification from such Seller to such effect) such Seller may deliver photocopies of such documents containing an original certification by the judicial or other governmental authority of the jurisdiction where such documents were recorded; (y) in lieu of the Mortgage Notes relating to the Mortgage Loans, each identified in the list delivered by the Purchaser to the Trustee on the Closing Date and attached hereto as Exhibit 5, the related Seller may deliver lost note affidavits and indemnities of such Seller; and (z) the related Seller shall not be required to deliver intervening assignments or Mortgage Note endorsements between the related Underlying Seller and such Seller, between such Seller and the Depositor, and between the Depositor and the Trustee; and provided further, however, that in the case of Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the such Seller, in lieu of delivering the above documents, may deliver to the Trustee a certification by such Seller or the Master Servicer to such effect and shall deposit all amounts paid in respect of such Mortgage Loans in the Master Servicer Collection Account on the Closing Date.  Each Seller shall deliver such original documents (including any original documents as to which certified copies had previously been delivered) or such certified copies to the Trustee promptly after they are received.  EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall cause the Mortgage and intervening assignments, if any, and the assignment of the Security Instrument to be recorded not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, unless such assignment is not required to be recorded under the terms set forth in Section 6(a) hereof.
 
(c)  In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS® System, EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) further agrees that it will cause, at EMC’s own expense, within 30 days after the Closing Date, the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the related Seller to the Purchaser and by the Purchaser to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) further agrees that it will not, and will not permit any Servicer or the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
(d)  Each Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge hereunder that all of the Mortgage Loans and the related servicing will ultimately be assigned to U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for the Holders of the Mortgage, on the date hereof.
 
SECTION 5.  Examination of Mortgage Files.
 
(a)  On or before the Mortgage File Delivery Date, each Seller will have made the related Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or its agent for examination which may be at the offices of the Trustee or the related Seller and/or such Seller’s custodian. The fact that the Purchaser or its agent has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the related Mortgage Files shall not affect the Purchaser’s rights to demand cure, repurchase, substitution or other relief as provided in this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Seller shall make the related Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or its agent from time to time so as to permit the Purchaser to confirm such Seller’s compliance with the delivery and recordation requirements of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
(b)  Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the Closing Date the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, will acknowledge receipt of each Mortgage Loan by delivery to EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding), the Purchaser and the Trustee of an initial certification in the form attached as Exhibit One to the Custodial Agreement.
 
(c)  Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within 90 days of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan, within five Business Days after the receipt by the Trustee or Custodian thereof), the Trustee will review or shall cause the Custodian to review items of the Mortgage Files as set forth on Exhibit 1 and will deliver to EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding), the Purchaser and the Trustee an interim certification substantially in the form of Exhibit Two to the Custodial Agreement.  If the Trustee or Custodian, as its agent, finds any document listed on Exhibit 1 not to have been executed or received, or to be unrelated, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule or to appear defective on its face (a “Material Defect”), the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall promptly notify EMC of such Material Defect. EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall correct or cure any such Material Defect within 90 days from the date of notice from the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, of the Material Defect and if EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) fails to correct or cure such Material Defect within such period and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) will, in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within 90 days of the date of notice, provide the Trustee with a Substitute Mortgage Loan (if within two years of the Closing Date) or purchase the related Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price; provided that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered; provided,however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) to deliver the original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because the originals of such documents, or a certified copy, have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, EMC shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such office; provided that EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall be effected by EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document.
 
(d)  Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within 180 days of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan, within five Business Days after the receipt by the Trustee or Custodian thereof) the Trustee will review or cause the Custodian to review items of the Mortgage Files as set forth on Exhibit 1 and will deliver to EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding), the Purchaser and the Trustee a final certification substantially in the form of Exhibit Three to the Custodial Agreement. If the Trustee or Custodian, as its agent, finds a Material Defect, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall promptly notify EMC of such Material Defect. EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall correct or cure any such Material Defect within 90 days from the date of notice from the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, of the Material Defect and if EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) fails to correct or cure such Material Defect within such period and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) will, in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within 90 days of the date of notice, provide the Trustee with a Substitute Mortgage Loan (if within two years of the Closing Date) or purchase the related Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price; provided that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered; provided,however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) to deliver the original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because the originals of such documents, or a certified copy, have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, EMC shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such office; provided that EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall be effected by EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document.
 
(e)  At the time of any substitution, EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Substitute Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage File and any other documents and payments required to be delivered in connection with a substitution pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. At the time of any purchase or substitution, the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall (i) assign to EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) and cause the Custodian to release the documents (including, but not limited to, the Mortgage, Mortgage Note and other contents of the Mortgage File) in the possession of the Custodian relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan and (ii) execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) title to such Deleted Mortgage Loan.
 
SECTION 6.  Recordation of Assignments of Mortgage.
 
(a)  EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall cause each assignment of the Security Instrument from the Sellers to the Trustee to be recorded not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, unless (a) such recordation is not required by the Rating Agencies or an Opinion of Counsel has been provided to the Trustee (with a copy to the Custodian) which states that the recordation of such assignments is not necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loans or (b) MERS is identified on the Mortgage or a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage, as the Mortgagee of record solely as nominee for the related Seller and its successors and assigns; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, each assignment shall be submitted for recording by EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust or Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the portion of the Trust related to such Classes, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to EMC and (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 8.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
While each such Mortgage or assignment is being recorded, if necessary, EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall leave or cause to be left with the Trustee a certified copy of such Mortgage or assignment. All customary recording fees and reasonable expenses relating to the recordation of the assignments of mortgage to the Trustee or the Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be, shall be borne by EMC.
 
(b)  It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by each Seller to the Purchaser, as contemplated by this Agreement be, and be treated as, a sale. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by such Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of that Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held by a court to continue to be property of such Seller, then (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code; (b) the transfer of the Mortgage Loans provided for herein shall be deemed to be a grant by such Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, to the extent the Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to own such Mortgage Loans and proceeds pursuant to Section 4 hereof, including all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in any accounts created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Purchaser or the Trustee of Mortgage Notes and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-313 (or comparable provision) of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code; and (d) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to any provision hereof or pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly (but, in any event, within 30 days) after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there is a conflict of interest between itself or themselves and the indemnifying party in the conduct of the defense of any claim or that the interests of the indemnified party or parties are not substantially co-extensive with those of the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying parties; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall be liable only for the fees and expenses of one counsel in addition to one local counsel in the jurisdiction involved. Anything in this subsection to the contrary notwithstanding, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement or any claim or action effected without its written consent; provided, however, that such consent was not unreasonably withheld.
 
(d)  If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 14 shall for any reason be unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to in Section 14, then the indemnifying party shall in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Sellers on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other from the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans, the offering of the Certificates and the other transactions contemplated hereunder. No person found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation.
 
(e)  The parties hereto agree that reliance by an indemnified party on any publicly available information or any information or directions furnished by an indemnifying party shall not constitute negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by such indemnified party.

APPENDIX  E – STANDARD & POOR’S PREDATORY LENDING CATEGORIES
 
Standard & Poor’s has categorized loans governed by anti-predatory lending laws in the Jurisdictions listed below into three categories based upon a combination of factors that include (a) the risk exposure associated with the assignee liability and (b) the tests and thresholds set forth in those laws. Note that certain loans classified by the relevant statute as Covered are included in Standard & Poor’s High Cost Loan Category because they included thresholds and tests that are typical of what is generally considered High Cost by the industry.

ARTICLE IV
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
 
Section 4.01.  Servicer to Act as Servicer.
 
The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices (giving due consideration to the Owner's reliance on the Servicer), 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 and with Accepted Servicing Practices and shall exercise the same care that it customarily employs for its own account.  In addition, the Servicer shall furnish information regarding the borrower credit files related to such Mortgage Loan to credit reporting agencies in compliance with the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the applicable implementing regulations. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices in compliance with the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guide, which include, but are not limited to, provisions regarding the liquidation of Mortgage Loans, the collection of Mortgage Loan payments, the payment of taxes, insurance and other charges, the maintenance of hazard insurance with a Qualified Insurer, the maintenance of fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance, inspections, the restoration of Mortgaged Property, the maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, insurance claims, and title insurance, management of REO Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property, the transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Loan Documents, annual statements, and examination of records and facilities.  In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing provisions of this Agreement and any of the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guide, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and be binding upon the Owner and the Servicer.  The Owner may, at its option, deliver powers-of-attorney to the Servicer sufficient to allow the Servicer as servicer to execute all documentation requiring execution on behalf of Owner with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, including satisfactions, partial releases, modifications and foreclosure documentation or, in the alternative, shall as promptly as reasonably possible, execute and return such documentation to the Servicer.
 
Consistent with and in addition to the terms set forth in this Agreement, if a Mortgage Loan is in default or such default is reasonably foreseeable, 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, including without limitation, to (1) capitalize any amounts owing on the Mortgage Loan by adding such amount to the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (2) defer such amounts to a later date or the final payment date of such Mortgage Loan, (3) extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan, (4) amend the related Mortgage Loan to reduce the related Mortgage Interest Rate with respect to any Mortgage Loan, (5) convert the Mortgage Interest Rate on any Mortgage Loan from a fixed rate to an adjustable rate or vice versa, (6) with respect to a Mortgage Loan with an initial fixed rate period followed by an adjustable rate period, extend the fixed period and reduce the adjustable rate period, and/or (7) forgive the amount of any interest, principal or servicing advances owed by the related Mortgagor; provided that, in the Servicer's reasonable and prudent determination, such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence: (A) is not materially adverse to the interests of the Owner on a present value basis using reasonable assumptions (including taking into account any estimated realized loss (as defined in the related pooling and servicing agreement) that might result absent such action); and (B) does not amend the related Mortgage Note to extend the maturity thereof later than the date of the Latest Possible Maturity Date (as such term is defined in the related pooling and servicing agreement); provided, further, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or if default is not reasonably foreseeable, unless the Servicer has provided to the Owner a certification addressed to the Owner, based on the advice of counsel or certified public accountants that have a national reputation with respect to taxation of REMICs that a modification of such Mortgage Loan will not result in the imposition of taxes on or disqualify from REMIC status any of the REMICs and has obtained the prior written consent of the Owner, the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence (not including any partial releases, assumptions of mortgages or modifications of any Mortgage Loan that is done in connection with compliance with the Relief Act) which the Servicer reasonably anticipates may result in a realized loss of 20% or more of the outstanding principal balance of a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall present such proposed waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence, together with any supporting documentation, to the Master Servicer for consideration and approval.  The Servicer shall submit all waivers, modifications or variances of the terms of any Mortgage Loan with respect to partial releases, assumptions of mortgages or for modifications done in furtherance of compliance with the Relief Act, together with any supporting documentation, to the Master Servicer for consideration and approval.
 
In connection with any such Servicing Modification, the Servicer may reimburse itself from the Trust for any outstanding Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances in the same calendar month as the Servicing Modification to the extent that such Monthly Advances or Servicing Advances are reimbursable to the Servicer and to the extent of the related principal portion of funds available for the related Distribution Date (as defined in the related pooling and servicing agreement). To the extent there are not sufficient principal funds available on the related Distribution Date to reimburse the Servicer for such Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances, the Servicer may reimburse itself on a first priority basis from related principal funds that are available on future Distribution Dates. If any mortgagor’s obligation to repay any outstanding amounts due under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan for which a Monthly Advance or Servicing Advance has been made by the Servicer is forgiven, any such Monthly Advance or Servicing Advance will be treated as a realized loss which will be incurred on the Distribution Date related to the calendar month during which the Servicing Modification occurred.
 
In the event of any such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence which has been agreed to in writing by the Owner and which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 4.04 and Section 5.03, the difference between (a) such month's principal and one month's interest at the related Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor.  The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 4.05. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties.
 
The Servicer shall perform all of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause a subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Servicer of a subservicer shall not release the Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and the Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of each subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Servicer.  Any such subservicer must be a Fannie Mae approved seller/servicer or a Freddie Mac seller/servicer in good standing and no event shall have occurred, including but not limited to, a change in insurance coverage, which would make it unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for lenders imposed by Fannie Mae or for seller/servicers by Freddie Mac, or which would require notification to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.  The Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of each subservicer from its own funds, and a subservicer's fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee.
 
At the cost and expense of the Servicer, without any right of reimbursement from the Custodial Account, the Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of a subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor subservicer meeting the requirements in the preceding paragraph, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Servicer, at the Servicer's option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself.  In the event that the Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01, and if requested to do so by the Owner, the Servicer shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of each subservicer effective as of the date of termination of the Servicer.  The Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of each subservicer from the Servicer's own funds without reimbursement from the Owner.
 
Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a subservicer or any reference herein to actions taken through a subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall not be relieved of its obligations to the Owner and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans.  The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with a subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by the subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
 
Any subservicing agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a subservicer shall be deemed to be between such subservicer and Servicer alone, and the Owner shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to such Subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of Owner to pay such subservicer's fees and expenses.  For purposes of distributions and advances by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when a subservicer has received such payment.
 
Section 4.02.  Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.
 
Continuously from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the Servicer will proceed with diligence to 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 the terms and provisions of related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, 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 reasonable care in ascertaining and estimating annual ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.
 
The Servicer shall not waive any Prepayment Charge unless: (i) the enforceability thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally, (ii) the enforcement thereof is illegal, or any local, state or federal agency has threatened legal action if the prepayment penalty is enforced, (iii) the mortgage debt has been accelerated in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment or (iv) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans and relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan.
 
Section 4.03.  Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
 
The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Servicer would use in servicing loans for its own account and the requirements of the Fannie Mae Guide, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 4.01. In determining the delinquency status of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will apply the definition of Delinquent as such term is defined under the related pooling and servicing agreement.  The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Owner, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings.  The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Owner after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Servicer through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05.  The Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings or functions as Servicing Advances; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor as provided in Section 4.05.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Owner otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector.  Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall promptly provide the Owner with a written report of the environmental inspection.  After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Owner shall determine how the Servicer shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property.
 
Section 4.04.    Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.
 
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 Custodial Accounts.  Each Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository.  To the extent such funds are not deposited in a Custodial Account, such funds may be invested in Permitted Investments for the benefit of the Owner (with any income earned thereon for the benefit of the Servicer).  Custodial Accounts will be reconciled within 45 calendar days after the bank statement cut-off date.  Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit B hereto.  The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Owner upon request. The Servicer acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer shall bear any losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments.  The amount of any such losses shall be immediately deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account, out of the Servicer's own funds, with no right to reimbursement therefor.
 
The Servicer shall deposit in a mortgage clearing account on a daily basis, and in the Custodial Account or Accounts no later than 48 hours after receipt and identification of funds and retain therein the following payments and collections:
 
(i)           all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments (exclusive of Prepayment Charges) and penalties, on the Mortgage Loans received after the Cut-off Date;
 
(ii)           all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the related Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate received after the Cut-off Date;
 
(iii)           all Liquidation Proceeds received after the Cut-off Date;
 
(iv)           any net amounts received by the Servicer after the Cut-off Date in connection with any REO Property pursuant to Section 4.13;
 
(v)           all Insurance Proceeds received after the Cut-off Date including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Sections 4.08 and 4.10, 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;
 
(vi)           all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property received after the Cut-off Date 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;
 
(vii)           any Monthly Advances as provided in Section 5.03;
 
(viii)         any amounts received after the Cut-off Date and required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 6.02; and
 
(ix)           with respect to each full or partial Principal Prepayment received after the Cut-off Date, any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, to the extent of the Servicer's aggregate Servicing Fee received with respect to the related Due Period.
 
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, Prepayment Charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, and all Prepayment Interest Excess need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account.
 
Section 4.05.  Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.
 
The Servicer may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:
 
(i)           to make payments to the Owner in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01;
 
(ii)           to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Servicer's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to (1) amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made and (2) to the extent of Amounts Held for Future Distributions; provided, however, any such Amounts Held For Future Distribution so applied to reimburse the Servicer shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Custodial Account, no later than the close of business on the Remittance Date immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which such funds are required to be distributed pursuant to this Agreement and only to the extent there are not funds otherwise available in the Custodial Account to make a required distribution on such Distribution Date;
 
(iii)           to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances, the Servicer's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to (1) Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received after the Cut-off Date related to such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, the Servicer must provide documentation to the Master Servicer supporting Servicing Advances related to Liquidation Proceeds prior to withdrawing such amounts from the Custodial Account and (2) to the extent of Amounts Held for Future Distributions; provided, however, any such Amounts Held For Future Distribution so applied to reimburse the Servicer shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Custodial Account, no later than the close of business on the Remittance Date immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which such funds are required to be distributed pursuant to this Agreement and only to the extent there are not funds otherwise available in the Custodial Account to make a required distribution on such Distribution Date;
 
(iv)           to pay to itself as servicing compensation (a) any interest earned on funds in the Custodial Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Remittance Date) and (b) the Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment recovery attributable to interest on a particular Mortgage Loan;
 
(v)           to reimburse itself for any Nonrecoverable Advances;

(x)           to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement.
 
Section 4.06.  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.  Each Escrow Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository.  To the extent such funds are not deposited in an Escrow Account, such funds may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Funds deposited in an Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit C. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Owner upon request.  The Servicer acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer shall bear any losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments.  The amount of any such losses shall be immediately deposited by the Servicer in the Escrow Account, as appropriate, out of the Servicer's own funds, with no right to reimbursement therefor.
 
The Servicer shall deposit in a mortgage clearing account on a daily basis, and in the Escrow Account or Accounts no later than 48 hours after receipt of funds and retain therein:
 
(i)           all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any items as are required under the terms of this Agreement;
 
(ii)           all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property; and
 
(iii)           all Servicing Advances for Mortgagors whose Escrow Payments are insufficient to cover escrow disbursements.
 
The Servicer shall make withdrawals from an Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set forth in and in accordance with Section 4.07.  Except as provided in Section 4.07, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in an Escrow Account by the Qualified Depository.
 
Section 4.07.  Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.
 
Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Servicer only:
 
(i)           to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, fire and hazard insurance premiums, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, and comparable items;
 
(ii)           to reimburse Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;
 
(iii)           to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages;
 
(iv)           for transfer to the Custodial Account in connection with an acquisition of REO Property;
 
(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 law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account;
 
(vii)           to pay to the Mortgagors or other parties Insurance Proceeds deposited in accordance with Section 4.06;
 
(viii)          to remove funds inadvertently placed in an Escrow Account in error by the Servicer; and
 
(ix)           to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement.
 
As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in an Escrow Account, to the extent required by law, 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.
 
Section 4.08.  Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges, Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, Collections Thereunder.
 
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums and fire 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 law.  To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor when due.  The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.
 
The Servicer will maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein required.  Such coverage will be maintained until the ratio of the current outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan to the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property, based on the most recent appraisal of the Mortgaged Property performed by a Qualified Appraiser, such appraisal to be included in the Servicing File, is reduced to an amount for which Fannie Mae no longer requires such insurance to be maintained.  The Servicer will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer.  The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in non­coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer would have been covered thereunder.  In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy.  If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.
 
In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Owner, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan.  Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.
 
Section 4.09.  Transfer of Accounts.
 
The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time.  The Servicer shall notify the Owner of any such transfer within 15 Business Days of transfer. If any one of the investment ratings of a Qualified Depository holding funds or Eligible Investments in the Custodial Account or Escrow Account is downgraded by the issuing rating agency, the Servicer shall, within three (3) Business Days of receipt of notice of the downgrading, transfer all such accounts, funds and Permitted Investments to a different Qualified Depository in accordance with this Agreement.
 
Section 4.10.  Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.
 
The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each 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 equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) the percentage such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient 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 Federal Emergency Management Agency as being a special flood hazard area that has federally-mandated flood insurance requirements, 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 outstanding 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, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in 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 Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.  It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need be required by the Servicer or the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans, other than pursuant to the Fannie Mae Guide or such applicable state or federal laws and 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 its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount 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 in Best's Key Rating Guide currently acceptable to Fannie Mae and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the property subject to the policy is located.
 
 
Section 4.11
Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a mortgage impairment or blanket policy issued by an issuer that has a Best rating of A:VI insuring against hazard losses on all of Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, the Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10, 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 4.10, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as Servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Owner, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Owner, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Owner a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Owner.

Section 4.12.  Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.
 
The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies that would meet the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans and who 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 and errors and omissions insurance 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 4.12 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 Fidelity Bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Fannie Mae in the Fannie Mae Guide or by Freddie Mac in the Freddie Mac Guide.  The Servicer shall, upon request of Owner, deliver to the Owner a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty days prior written notice to the Owner.  The Servicer shall notify the Owner within five Business Days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated.  The Owner and its successors or assigns as their interests may appear must be named as loss payees on the Fidelity Bond and as additional insured on the errors and omissions policy.
 
Section 4.13.  Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.
 
In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Owner or its designee.  Any such Person or Persons holding such title other than the Owner shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Owner.
 
The Servicer shall assume the responsibility for marketing each REO Property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Servicer shall continue to provide certain administrative services to the Owner relating to such REO Property as set forth in this Section 4.13. The REO Property must be sold within three years following the end of the calendar year of the date of acquisition, unless a REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held and (i) the Owner shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel (at the Servicer's expense) to the effect that the holding by the related trust of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such three-year period (and specifying the period beyond such three-year period for which the Mortgaged Property may be held) will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the related trust as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, in which case the related trust may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel), or (ii) the Owner (at the Servicer's expense) or the Servicer shall have applied for, prior to the expiration of such three-year period, an extension of such three-year period in the manner contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the Code, in which case the three-year period shall be extended by the applicable period.  If a period longer than three years is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Servicer shall report monthly to the Owner as to progress being made in selling such REO Property.
 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a REMIC election has been made, no Mortgaged Property held by a REMIC shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the related trust or sold or managed in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify at any time as "foreclosure property" within a meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, (ii) subject the related trust to the imposition of any federal or state income taxes on "net income from foreclosure property" with respect to such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of Section 860G(c) of the Code, or (iii) cause the sale of such Mortgaged Property to result in the receipt by the related trust or any income from non-permitted assets as described in Section 860F(a) (2)(B) of the Code, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the related trust with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
 
The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in each Custodial Account all revenues received with respect to the related REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof.  The Servicer shall maintain separate records with respect to each REO Property identifying all deposits and withdrawals from the Custodial Account for each REO Property.
 
The Servicer shall furnish to the Owner on each 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 Owner shall reasonably request.
 
The Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, and in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guide, manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. 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 Owner.  The REO Disposition Proceeds from the sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account.  As soon as practical thereafter, the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Servicer shall be entitled to reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees or Monthly Advances made.  Such reimbursement will be subject to Master Servicer approval of claims submitted within 90 days of liquidation (such approval will be rendered within 30 days of the Master Servicer’s receipt of the complete claim of loss notification package), and on the Remittance Date immediately following the Principal Prepayment Period in which such sale proceeds are received the proceeds of such sale deposited in the Custodial Account shall be distributed to the Purchaser.
 
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 monthly thereafter or more frequently as may be required by the circumstances. The Servicer shall make or cause the inspector to make a written report of each such inspection.  Such reports shall be retained in the Servicing File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the Owner.
 
Section 4.14.  Notification of Adjustments.
 
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date in compliance with requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note.  The Servicer shall execute and deliver any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments.  The Servicer shall promptly, upon written request therefor, deliver to the Owner such notifications and any additional applicable data regarding such adjustments and the methods used to calculate and implement such adjustments.  Upon the discovery by the Servicer or the receipt of notice from the Owner that the Servicer has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the Servicer shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss or deferral caused to the Owner thereby.
 
ARTICLE V
PAYMENTS TO THE OWNER
 
Section 5.01.  Remittances.
 
On each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Owner (i) all amounts credited to the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the last day of the calendar month preceding the Determination Date, net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05, except (a) Full Principal Prepayments received on or before the 15th day of the month in which a Remittance Date occurs shall be remitted to the Owner on the Remittance Date of such month, and (b) Full Principal Prepayments received after the 15th day of the month in which a Remittance Date occurs shall be remitted to the Owner on the next following Remittance Date, plus, to the extent not already deposited in the Custodial Account, the sum of (ii) all Monthly Advances, if any, which the Servicer is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 5.03 and (iii) all Prepayment Interest Shortfalls the Servicer is required to make up pursuant to Section 4.04, minus (iv) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected after the Cut-off Date but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the last day of the related Due Period, which amounts shall be remitted on the related Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period for such amounts.
 
With respect to any remittance received by the Owner after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Servicer shall pay to the Owner interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus two percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.  Such interest shall be remitted to the Owner by the Servicer on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following such Business Day and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive.  The payment by the Servicer of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Servicer.
 
Section 5.02    Statements to the Owner and the Master Servicer.
 
The Servicer shall furnish to the Owner and the Master Servicer an individual Mortgage Loan accounting report (a ”Report”), as of the last Business Day of each month and the end of the related Prepayment Period, as applicable, in the Servicer's assigned loan number order to document Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual Mortgage Loan basis.  With respect to each month, such Report shall be received by the Owner and the Master Servicer no later than the fifth Business Day of the month of the related Remittance Date (or, with respect to information as to Full Principal Prepayments and prepayment penalties no later than one (1) Business Day after the end of each Prepayment Period), a report in an Excel (or compatible) electronic format, in such format as may be mutually agreed upon by both the Owner and the Servicer, and which shall provide the information required to be contained in the monthly statements to certificateholders as specified in the related pooling and servicing agreement, to the extent applicable to the Servicer.
 
In addition, the Servicer shall provide to the Master Servicer and the Owner such other information known or available to the Servicer that is necessary in order to provide the distribution and pool performance information as required under Regulation AB, as amended from time to time, as determined by the Owner in its sole discretion.  The Servicer shall also provide a monthly report, in the form of Exhibit E and Exhibit F hereto, or such other form as is mutually acceptable to the Servicer, the Owner and the Master Servicer, Exhibit K and Exhibit L with respect to defaulted mortgage loans, Exhibit M with respect to realized losses and gains, Exhibit N with respect to modified mortgage loans, Exhibit O with respect to claims submitted and Exhibit P with respect to loss severity, with each such report.
 
The Servicer shall prepare and file any and all information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority or to Owner or the Master Servicer pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby.  In addition, the Servicer shall provide the Owner and the Master Servicer with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for the Owner and the Master Servicer to prepare its federal income tax return as Owner and the Master Servicer may reasonably request from time to time.
 
In addition, not more than 60 days after the end of each calendar year, the Servicer shall furnish to each Person who was an Owner and the Master Servicer at any time during such calendar year an annual statement in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal income tax law as to the aggregate of remittances of principal and interest for the applicable portion of such year.
 
Section 5.03.  Monthly Advances by the Servicer.
 
Not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all payments not previously advanced by the Servicer, whether or not deferred pursuant to Section 4.01, of Monthly Payments, adjusted to the related Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate, which are delinquent at the close of business on the related Determination Date; provided, however, that the amount of any such deposit may be reduced by the Amounts Held for Future Distribution (as defined below) then on deposit in the Custodial Account.  Any portion of the Amounts Held for Future Distribution used to pay Monthly Advances shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit into the Custodial Account on any future Remittance Date to the extent that the funds that are available in the Custodial Account for remittance to the Owner on such Remittance Date are less than the amount of payments required to be made to the Owner on such Remittance Date.
 
The Servicer's obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the final disposition or liquidation of the Mortgaged Property, unless the Servicer deems such advance to be nonrecoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, REO Disposition Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan.  In such latter event, the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner an Officer's Certificate of the Servicer to the effect that an officer of the Servicer has reviewed the related Servicing File and has obtained a recent appraisal and has made the reasonable determination that any additional advances are nonrecoverable from Liquidation or Insurance Proceeds with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan.
 
Section 5.04.  Liquidation Reports.
 
Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Owner pursuant to a deed-in­-lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall submit to the Owner a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property in such form as the Servicer and the Owner shall agree.  The Servicer shall also provide reports on the status of REO Property containing such information as Owner may reasonably require.
 
ARTICLE VI
GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES
 
Section 6.01.  Assumption Agreements.
 
The Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of a Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of, sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any.  If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, the Servicer, will enter into an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon.  Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 6.01, the Servicer, with the prior consent of the primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note.  Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement.
 
In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the Fannie Mae Guide.  With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note and the amount of the Monthly Payment may not be changed.  The Servicer shall notify the Owner that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Owner the original of any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage Loan Documents and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such related mortgage file to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.  All fees collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Servicer.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this section 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.  For purposes of this Section 6.01, the term "assumption" is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.
 
Section 6.02.  Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Loan Documents.
 
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will immediately notify the Custodian with a certification and request for release by a Servicing Officer, which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04 have been so deposited, and a request for delivery to the Servicer of the portion of the Mortgage Loan Documents held by the Custodian.  Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Owner shall promptly release or cause the Custodian to promptly release the related Mortgage Loan Documents to the Servicer and the Servicer shall prepare and deliver for execution by the Owner or at the Owner's option execute under the authority of a power of attorney delivered to the Servicer by the Owner any satisfaction or release.  No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account.
 
In the event the Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Owner may have under the mortgage instruments, the Servicer, upon written demand, shall remit within one Business Day to the Owner the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account.  The Servicer shall maintain the Fidelity Bond insuring the Servicer against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.
 
From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loans, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, the Custodian shall release the portion of the Mortgage Loan Documents held by the Custodian to the Servicer. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Servicer to promptly return the related Mortgage Loan Documents to the Custodian, when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or such documents have been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer has promptly delivered to the Owner or the Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such documents were delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.  Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Owner or the Custodian, as applicable, to the Servicer.
 
Section 6.03.  Servicing Compensation.
 
As compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account or to retain from interest payments on the Mortgage Loans the amounts provided for as the Servicer's Servicing Fee.  Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 6.01, late payment charges and other ancillary fees shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account.  The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for.
 
Section 6.04.   Annual Statement as to Compliance; Annual Certification.
 
(a)           The Servicer will deliver to the Owner and the Master Servicer, not later than March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2008, an Officer’s Certificate (an “Annual Statement of Compliance”) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement or other applicable servicing agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement or other applicable servicing agreement in all material respects throughout 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 of cure provisions thereof.  Such Annual Statement of Compliance shall contain no restrictions or limitations on its use.  Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Servicer to the Owner upon request and by the Owner to any Person identified as a prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans.  In the event that the Servicer has delegated any servicing responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans to a Subservicer, the Servicer shall deliver an Annual Statement of Compliance of the Subservicer as described above as to each Subservicer as and when required with respect to the Servicer.
 
(b)           With respect to the Mortgage Loans, by March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2008, an officer of the Servicer shall execute and deliver an Officer’s Certificate (an “Annual Certification”) to the Owner, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, and any related Depositor for the benefit of each such entity and such entity’s affiliates and the officers, directors and agents of any such entity and such entity’s affiliates, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G.  In the event that the Servicer has delegated any servicing responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans to a Subservicer or a Subcontractor, to the extent such Subcontractor is “participating in the servicing function” pursuant to Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall deliver an Annual Certification as to each such Subservicer and Subcontractor, as and when required with respect to the Servicer.
 
In the event the Servicer or any Subservicer or Subcontractor engaged by it is terminated, assigns its rights and obligations under, or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any other applicable agreement in the case of a Subservicer or Subcontractor, as the case may be, such party shall provide an Annual Statement of Compliance pursuant to this Section 6.04 or to the related section of such other applicable agreement, as the case may be, as to the performance of its obligations with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or any other applicable agreement, as the case may be, notwithstanding any such termination, assignment or resignation.
 
The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer and its officers, directors, agents and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach by the Servicer or any of its officers, directors, agents or affiliates of its obligations under this Section 6.04 or Section 6.09 or the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Master Servicer, then the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Master Servicer in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Master Servicer on the one hand and the Servicer on the other in connection with a breach of the Servicer’s obligations under this Section 6.04 or Section 6.09 or the Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.
 
Upon request by the Owner or the Master Servicer, the Servicer will deliver to such requesting party a copy of the audited (if such financial statements are available, otherwise unaudited) financial statements of the Servicer for the most recent fiscal year of the Servicer.
 
Section 6.05.   [Reserved]
 
Section 6.06.  Owner's Right to Examine Servicer Records.
 
The Owner shall have the right to examine and audit, at its expense, upon reasonable notice to the Servicer, during business hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under applicable circumstances, any and all of the books, records, documentation or other information of the Servicer, or held by another for the Servicer or on its behalf or otherwise, which relate to the performance or observance by the Servicer of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement.
 
The Servicer shall provide to the Owner and any supervisory agents or examiners representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Owner access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in the possession of the Servicer which may be required by any applicable regulations.  Such access shall be afforded without charge, upon reasonable request, during normal business hours and at the offices of the Servicer, and in accordance with the applicable federal or state government regulations.
 
Section 6.07.  Compliance with REMIC Provisions.
 
If a REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held, the Servicer shall not take any action, cause the REMIC 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 the REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on "contribution" to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code unless the Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such actions) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such REMIC status or result in the imposition of any such tax.
 
Section 6.08.  Non-solicitation.
 
The Servicer shall not knowingly conduct any solicitation exclusively targeted to the Mortgagors for the purpose of inducing or encouraging the early prepayment or refinancing of the related Mortgage Loans.  It is understood and agreed that promotions undertaken by the Servicer or any agent or affiliate of the Servicer which are directed to the general public at large, including, without limitation, mass mailings based on commercially acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio and television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation under this section.  Nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Servicer from (i) distributing to Mortgagors any general advertising including information brochures, coupon books, or other similar documentation which indicates services the Servicer offers, including refinances or (ii) providing financing of home equity loans to Mortgagors at the Mortgagor's request.
 
Section 6.09.    Assessment of Compliance with Servicing Criteria.
 
On and after January 1, 2007, the Servicer shall service and administer, and shall cause each subservicer to service or administer, the Mortgage Loans in accordance with all applicable requirements of the Servicing Criteria.
 
With respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner or its designee, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, and any Depositor on or before March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2008, a report (an “Assessment of Compliance”) regarding the Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the preceding calendar year as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB, or as otherwise required by the Master Servicer, which as of the date hereof, require a report by an authorized officer of the Servicer that contains the following:

(c)           An assessment by such officer of the Servicer’s compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year, including disclosure of any material instance of noncompliance with respect thereto during such period, which assessment shall be based on the activities it performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans;
 
(d)           A statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the Servicer’s Assessment of Compliance for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year; and
 
(e)           A statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable to the Servicer, which statement shall be based on the activities it performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans.
 
Such report at a minimum shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit J hereto.
 
With respect to the Mortgage Loans, on or before March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2008, the Servicer shall furnish to the Owner or its designee, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any Depositor a report (an “Attestation Report”) by a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the Assessment of Compliance made by the Servicer, as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB, or as otherwise required by the Master Servicer, which Attestation Report must be made in accordance with standards for attestation reports issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
 
The Servicer shall cause each Subservicer, and each Subcontractor determined by the Servicer pursuant to Section 11.15 to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver to the Owner, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any Depositor an assessment of compliance and accountants’ attestation as and when provided in Section 6.09.
 
In the event the Servicer or any Subservicer or Subcontractor engaged by it is terminated, assigns its rights and obligations under, or resigns pursuant to, the terms of this Agreement, or any other applicable agreement in the case of a Subservicer or Subcontractor, as the case may be, such party shall provide an Assessment of Compliance and cause to be provided an Attestation Report pursuant to this Section 6.09 or to the related section of such other applicable agreement, as the case may be, notwithstanding any such termination, assignment or resignation.
 
Section 6.10.   Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.
 
The Owner and the Servicer acknowledge and agree that a purpose of clause (g) of Article III, Sections 5.02, 6.04, 6.09 and 10.02 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Owner and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. None of the Owner, the Master Servicer or any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The Servicer acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Owner or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Pass-Through Transfer, the Servicer shall cooperate fully with the Owner to deliver to the Owner (including any of its assignees or designees) and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Owner or any Depositor to permit the Owner or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Servicer, any Subservicer and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Owner or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

ARTICLE VIII
THE SERVICER
 
Section 8.01.  Indemnification; Third Party Claims.
 
The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Owner, its successors and assigns, any agent of the Owner, and the Master Servicer, and hold each of such Persons harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that such Person may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform in any way its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement and for breach of any representation or warranty of the Servicer contained herein.  The Servicer shall immediately notify the Owner or other indemnified Person if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the consent of the Owner and such other Indemnified Person and with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Owner and such Person) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or such other indemnified Person in respect of such claim but failure to so notify the Owner and such other indemnified Person shall not limit its obligations hereunder.  The Servicer agrees that it will not enter into any settlement of any such claim without the consent of the Owner and such other indemnified Person unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Owner and such other indemnified Person from all liability that is the subject matter of such claim.  The provisions of this Section 8.01 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
 
Section 8.02.  Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer.
 
The Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation except as permitted herein, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.
 
Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Servicer whether or not related to loan servicing, shall be the successor of the Servicer hereunder, 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; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution (i) having a GAAP net worth of not less than $25,000,000, (ii) the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC, or which is a HUD-approved mortgagee whose primary business is in origination and servicing of first lien mortgage loans, and (iii) which is a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing.
 
Section 8.03.  Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others.
 
Neither the Servicer nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Owner 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 made in good faith; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform in any way its obligations in compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of gross negligence or any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  The Servicer and any officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by the Owner respecting any matters arising hereunder.  The Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may, with the consent of the Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto.  In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Owner will be liable, and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05.
 
Section 8.04.  Servicer Not to Resign.
 
The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Servicer and the Owner or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer.  Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Owner which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Owner.  No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 11.01.
 
Section 8.05.  No Transfer of Servicing.
 
With respect to the retention of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Servicer acknowledges that the Owner has acted in reliance upon the Servicer's independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plan, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof.  Without in any way limiting the generality of this section, the Servicer shall not either assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Owner, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that the Servicer may assign the Agreement and the servicing hereunder without the consent of Owner to an affiliate of the Servicer to which all servicing of the Servicer is assigned so long as (i) such affiliate is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved servicer and (ii) if it is intended that such affiliate be spun off to the shareholders of the Servicer, such affiliate have a GAAP net worth of at least $25,000,000 and (iii) such affiliate shall deliver to the Owner a certification pursuant to which such affiliate shall agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall certify that such affiliate is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved servicer in good standing.

(i)           any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Owner any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for one (1) Business Day after written notice thereof (it being understood that this subparagraph shall not affect Servicer's obligation pursuant to Section 5.01 to pay default interest on any remittance received by the Owner after the Business Day on which such payment was due); or
 
(ii)           any failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement (other than those described in clause (ix) hereof), the breach of which has a material adverse effect and which continue unremedied for a period of thirty days (except that such number of days shall be fifteen in the case of a failure to pay any premium for any insurance policy required to be maintained under this Agreement and such failure shall be deemed to have a material adverse effect) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Owner; or
 
(iii)           a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshaling 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 or unstayed for a period of sixty days; or
 
(iv)           the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshaling 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

(vi)           the Servicer ceases to be approved by either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (to the extent such entities are then operating in a capacity similar to that in which they operate on the date hereof) as a mortgage loan servicer for more than thirty days to the extent such entities perform similar functions; or
 
(vii)           the Servicer attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder or the Servicer attempts, without the consent of the Owner, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets or to assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof except as otherwise permitted herein; or
 
(viii)         the Servicer ceases to be qualified to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is currently so qualified, but only to the extent such non-qualification materially and adversely affects the Servicer's ability to perform its obligations hereunder; or
 
(ix)           failure by the Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Section 6.04, 6.09 or any of clauses (v) through (viii) of Section 10.02;
 
then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Owner, by notice in writing to the Servicer may, in addition to whatever rights the Owner may have under Section 8.01 and at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer (and if the Servicer is servicing any of the Mortgage Loans in a Pass-Through Transfer, appoint a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer for such Pass-Through Transfer) under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same.  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 Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 11.01.  Upon written request from the Owner, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor's possession all Servicing Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Servicer's sole expense.  The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Owner and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.
 
The Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Owner (or any designee of the Owner, such as a master servicer) and any Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Owner (or such designee) or such Depositor, as such are incurred, in connection with the termination of the Servicer as servicer and the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer, if the termination and/or transfer of servicing is for cause related to a servicer default. The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit whatever rights the Owner or any Depositor may have under other provisions of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.
 
Section 9.02.  Waiver of Defaults.
 
The Owner may waive only by written notice any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences.  Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default 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 thereon except to the extent expressly so waived in writing.

ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
 
Section 11.01.  Successor to the Servicer.
 
Prior to termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01(ii), the Owner shall (i) succeed to and assume all of the Servicer's responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor having the characteristics set forth in Section 8.02 hereof and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement prior to the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement.  In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Owner may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as the Owner and such successor shall agree.  In the event that the Servicer's duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned sections, the Servicer shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor.  The resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to the aforementioned sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this section and shall in no event relieve the Servicer of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Article III and the remedies available to the Owner under Section 8.01, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Article III and Section 8.01 shall be applicable to the Servicer notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Servicer, or the termination of this Agreement.
 
Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer and to the Owner an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement.  Any termination or resignation of the Servicer or this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01 shall not affect any claims that the Owner may have against the Servicer arising prior to any such termination or resignation.
 
The Servicer shall promptly deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account and the Servicing Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Servicer shall account for all funds.  The Servicer shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things all as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer.  The successor shall make such arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the Servicer for unrecovered Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances which the successor retains hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.

In addition to the Purchase Price as described above, the Purchaser shall pay to the Company, at closing, accrued interest on the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-off Date at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate of each Mortgage Loan from the related Cut-off Date through the day prior to the related Closing Date, inclusive.

The Purchase Price plus accrued interest as set forth in the preceding paragraph shall be paid on the related Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

Purchaser shall be entitled to (1) all scheduled principal due after the related Cut-off Date, (2) all other recoveries of principal collected on or after the related Cut-off Date (provided, however, that all scheduled payments of principal due on or before the related Cut-off Date and collected by the Company or any successor servicer after the related Cut-off Date shall belong to the Company), and (3) all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans net of applicable Servicing Fees (minus that portion of any such payment which is allocable to the period prior to the related Cut-off Date). The outstanding principal balance of each Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-off Date is determined after application of payments of principal due on or before the related Cut-off Date whether or not collected, together with any unscheduled principal prepayments collected prior to the related Cut-off Date; provided, however, that payments of scheduled principal and interest prepaid for a Due Date beyond the related Cut-off Date shall not be applied to the principal balance as of the related Cut-off Date. Such prepaid amounts shall be the property of the Purchaser.

Company will deliver the Mortgage Files to the Custodian designated by Purchaser, on or before the related Closing Date, at the expense of the Company. The Company shall maintain a Servicing File consisting of a copy of the contents of each Mortgage File and the originals of the documents in each Mortgage File not delivered to the Purchaser. The Servicing File shall contain all documents necessary to service the Mortgage Loans. The possession of each Servicing File by the Company is at the will of the Purchaser, for the sole purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan, and such retention and possession by the Company is in a custodial capacity only. From the related Closing Date, the ownership of each Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the contents of the related Mortgage File and all rights, benefits, proceeds and obligations arising therefrom or in connection therewith, has been vested in the Purchaser. All rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans including, but not limited to, all funds received on or in connection with the Mortgage Loans and all records or documents with respect to the Mortgage Loans prepared by or which come into the possession of the Company shall be received and held by the Company in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser as the owner of the Mortgage Loans. Any portion of the Mortgage Files retained by the Company shall be appropriately identified in the Company's computer system to clearly reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser. The Company shall release its custody of the contents of the Mortgage Files only in accordance with written instructions of the Purchaser, except when such release is required as incidental to the Company's servicing of the Mortgage Loans or is in connection with a repurchase of any Mortgage Loan or Loans with respect thereto pursuant to this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, such written instructions shall not be required.

Section 2.05  Books and Records.

The sale of each Mortgage Loan has been reflected on the Company's balance sheet and other financial statements as a sale of assets by the Company.

The Company shall maintain with respect to each Mortgage Loan and shall make available for inspection by any Purchaser or its designee the related Servicing File during the time the Purchaser retains ownership of a Mortgage Loan and thereafter in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

In addition to the foregoing, Company shall provide to any supervisory agents or examiners that regulate Purchaser, including but not limited to, the FDIC and other similar entities, access, during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice to Company and without charge to Company or such supervisory agents or examiners, to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans that may be required by any applicable regulator.

The Purchaser may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, sell and transfer one or more of the Mortgage Loans, provided, however, that the transferee will not be deemed to be a Purchaser hereunder binding upon the Company unless such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and an original counterpart of the instrument of transfer in an Assignment and Assumption of this Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto executed by the transferee shall have been delivered to the Company. The Purchaser also shall advise the Company of the transfer. Upon receipt of notice of the transfer, the Company shall mark its books and records to reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans of such assignee, and the previous Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans sold or transferred.

In the event that documents have not been received by the date specified in the Company's Officer's Certificate, a subsequent Company's Officer's Certificate shall be delivered by such date specified in the prior Company's Officer's Certificate, stating a revised date for receipt of documentation. The procedure shall be repeated until the documents have been received and delivered. If delivery is not completed within 180 days solely due to delays in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Company shall continue to use its best efforts to effect delivery as soon as possible thereafter, provided that if such documents are not delivered by the 270th day from the date of the related Closing Date, the Company shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loans at the Repurchase Price in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof.

If the Purchaser or its designee discovers any defect with respect to a Mortgage File, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designee to, give written specification of such defect to the Company which may be given in the exception report or the certification delivered pursuant to this Section 2.07, or otherwise in writing and the Company shall cure or repurchase such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 3.03.

The Company shall forward to the Purchaser, or its designee, original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with Section 4.01 or 6.01 within one week of their execution; provided, however, that the Company shall provide the Purchaser, or its designee, with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within one week of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within sixty (60) days of its submission for recordation.

From time to time the Company may have a need for Mortgage Loan Documents to be released from Purchaser, or its designee. Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designee, upon the written request of the Company, within ten (10) Business Days, deliver to the Company, any requested documentation previously delivered to Purchaser as part of the Mortgage File, provided that such documentation is promptly returned to Purchaser, or its designee, when the Company no longer requires possession of the document, and provided that during the time that any such documentation is held by the Company, such possession is in trust for the benefit of Purchaser. Company shall indemnify Purchaser, and its designee, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorney's fees) resulting from or related to the loss, damage, or misplacement of any documentation delivered to Company pursuant to this paragraph.

Section 2.08 Quality Control Procedures.

The Company must have an internal quality control program that verifies, on a regular basis, the existence and accuracy of the legal documents, credit documents, property appraisals, and underwriting decisions. The program must be capable of evaluating and monitoring the overall quality of its loan production and servicing activities. The program is to ensure that the Mortgage Loans are originated and serviced in accordance with prudent mortgage banking practices and accounting principles; guard against dishonest, fraudulent, or negligent acts; and guard against errors and omissions by officers, employees, or other authorized persons.

(e) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of or compliance by the Company with this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, or the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Purchaser or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, except for consents, approvals, authorizations and orders which have been obtained;

(f) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the related Term Sheet is in the ordinary course of business of the Company and Company, and the transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or the related Term Sheet are not subject to bulk transfer or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction;

(g) The origination and servicing practices used by the Company and any prior originator or servicer with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been legal and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and the Mortgage Loan Documents, and in all material respects proper and prudent in the mortgage origination and servicing business. Each Mortgage Loan has been serviced in all material respects with Accepted Servicing Practices. With respect to escrow deposits and payments that the Company, on behalf of an investor, is entitled to collect, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Company, and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All escrow payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law and the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage.

(k) The Company does not believe, nor does it have any cause or reason to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in this Agreement or the related Term Sheet. The Company is solvent and the sale of the Mortgage Loans will not cause the Company to become insolvent. The sale of the Mortgage Loans is not undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of the Company's creditors;

(l) No statement, tape, diskette, form, report or other document prepared by, or on behalf of, Company pursuant to this Agreement or the related Term Sheet or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, contains or will contain any statement that is or will be inaccurate or misleading in any material respect;

(m)  The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Servicing Fee represents reasonable compensation for performing such services and that the entire Servicing Fee shall be treated by the Company, for accounting and tax purposes, as compensation for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 3.02 Representations and Warranties as to Individual Mortgage Loans.

References in this Section to percentages of Mortgage Loans refer in each case to the percentage of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the related Cut-off Date, based on the outstanding Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans as of the related Cut-off Date, and giving effect to scheduled Monthly Payments due on or prior to the related Cut-off Date, whether or not received. References to percentages of Mortgaged Properties refer, in each case, to the percentages of expected aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans (determined as described in the preceding sentence). The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as to each Mortgage Loan, as of the related Closing Date as follows:

(a) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the related Term Sheet is true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the related Cut-Off Date;

(b) The Mortgage creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien or a first priority ownership interest in an estate in fee simple in real property securing the related Mortgage Note subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors;

(c) All payments due prior to the related Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan have been made as of the related Closing Date; the Mortgage Loan has not been dishonored; there are no material defaults under the terms of the Mortgage Loan; the Company has not advanced its own funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Loan. As of the related Closing Date, all of the Mortgage Loans will have an actual Interest Paid to Date of their related Cut-off Date(or later) and will be due for the scheduled monthly payment next succeeding the Cut-off Date (or later), as evidenced by a posting to Company's servicing collection system. No payment under any Mortgage Loan is delinquent as of the related Closing Date nor has any scheduled payment been delinquent at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the month of the related Closing Date. For purposes of this paragraph, a Mortgage Loan will be deemed delinquent if any payment due thereunder was not paid by the Mortgagor in the month such payment was due;

(d) There are no defaults by Company in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable;

(e) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which have been recorded to the extent any such recordation is required by law, or, necessary to protect the interest of the Purchaser. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed except in connection with a modification agreement and which modification agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms thereof except in connection with an assumption agreement and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and title insurance policy, to the extent required by the related policies;

(f) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note or 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; and as of the related Closing Date the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding;

(g) All buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable under the Fannie Mae or FHLMC Guides, against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided for in the Fannie Mae or FHLMC Guide, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. All such standard hazard policies are in full force and effect and contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Company and its successors in interest and assigns as loss payee and such clause is still in effect and all premiums due thereon have been paid. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration which policy conforms to Fannie Mae or FHLMC requirements, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. Such policy was issued by an insurer acceptable under Fannie Mae or FHLMC guidelines. 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. Neither the Company (nor any prior originator or servicer of any of the Mortgage Loans) nor any Mortgagor has engaged in any act or omission which has impaired or would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either;

(h) 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 Mortgage Loan have been complied with in all material respects; the Company maintains, and shall maintain, evidence of such compliance as required by applicable law or regulation and shall make such evidence available for inspection at the Company's office during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice;

(i) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled or subordinated, in whole or in part, or rescinded, 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 release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Company has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Company waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;

(j) The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems affixed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing securing the Mortgage Note's original principal balance subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors. The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note do not contain any evidence of any security interest or other interest or right thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage subject only to (1) the lien of non-delinquent 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 which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and either (A) which are referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan, or (B) which do not adversely affect the residential use or Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal, and (3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not individually or in the aggregate 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. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein, and the Company has the full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser;

(k) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors, and the Company has taken all action necessary to transfer such rights of enforceability to the Purchaser. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. The Mortgage Loan Documents are on forms acceptable to Fannie Mae and FHLMC. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of Company or the Mortgagor, or on the part of any other party involved in the origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements 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 were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;

(l) The Company is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser, the Company will retain the Mortgage File or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee in trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of the Mortgage Loan. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the Purchaser, the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, were not subject to an assignment, sale or pledge to any person other than Purchaser, and the Company had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner thereof and had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest and has the full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign the Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of the Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. The Company intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan, except for the purposes of servicing the Mortgage Loan as set forth in this Agreement. After the related Closing Date, the Company will not have any right to modify or alter the terms of the sale of the Mortgage Loan and the Company will not have any obligation or right to repurchase the Mortgage Loan or substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to by the Company and the Purchaser;

(m) Each Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC (including adjustable rate endorsements), issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (j)(1), (2) and (3) above) the Company, its successors and assigns, as to the first 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 Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. The Company, its successors and assigns, is the sole insured of such lender's title insurance policy, such title insurance policy has been duly and validly endorsed to the Purchaser or the assignment to the Purchaser of the Company's interest therein does not require the consent of or notification to the insurer 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 lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including the Company, nor any Mortgagor, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;

(n) There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration; and neither the Company, nor any prior mortgagee has waived any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration;

(o) 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 liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage;

(r) The Mortgaged Property is not subject to any material damage. At origination of the Mortgage Loan there was not, since origination of the Mortgage Loan there has not been, and there currently is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. The Company has not received notification that any such proceedings are scheduled to commence at a future date;

(s) The related Mortgage contains 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;

(t) If the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified if required under applicable law to act as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses, except as may be required by local law, are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale or attempted sale after default by the Mortgagor;

(u) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the final approval of the mortgage loan application by a Qualified Appraiser, approved by the Company, who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Fannie Mae or FHLMC and Title XI of the Federal Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated. The appraisal is in a form acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC;

(v) All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (A) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (B) (1) organized under the laws of such state, or (2) qualified to do business in such state, or (3) federal savings and loan associations or national banks or a Federal Home Loan Bank or savings bank having principal offices in such state, or (4) not doing business in such state;

(w) The related Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to above and such collateral does not serve as security for any other obligation;

(x) The Mortgagor has received and has executed, where applicable, all disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to the making of such mortgage loans;

(y) The Mortgage Loan does not contain balloon or "graduated payment" features; No Mortgage Loan is subject to a buydown agreement or contains any buydown provision;

(z) The Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy and, the Mortgagor is not insolvent and the Company has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit standing that could reasonably be expected to cause investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or materially adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan;

(aa) Each Mortgage Loan bears interest based upon a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred and sixty (360) day year. The Mortgage Loans have an original term to maturity of not more than thirty (30) years, with interest payable in arrears on the first day of each month. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, on each applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate will be adjusted to equal the sum of the Index, plus the applicable Margin; provided, that the Mortgage Interest Rate, on each applicable Adjustment Date, will not increase by more than the Initial Rate Cap or Periodic Rate Cap, as applicable. Over the term of each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Interest Rate will not exceed such Mortgage Loan's Lifetime Rate Cap. None of the Mortgage Loans are “interest-only” Mortgage Loans or “negative amortization” Mortgage Loans. With the respect to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, each Mort-gage Note requires a monthly payment which is suffi-cient (a) during the period prior to the first adjust-ment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, and (b) during the period following each Adjust-ment Date, to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such period over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. With the respect to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note provides that when the Mortgage Interest Rate changes on an Adjustment Date, the then outstanding principal balance will be reamortized over the remaining life of the Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provi-sions which would result in negative amortization. None of the Mortgage Loans contain a conversion feature which would cause the Mortgage Loan interest rate to convert to a fixed interest rate. None of the Mortgage Loans are considered agricultural loans;

(hh) Unless set forth in the related Term Sheet, in the event the Mortgage Loan had an LTV at origination greater than 80.00%, either (i) the excess of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan over 75.0% of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property with respect to a Refinanced Mortgage Loan, or the lesser of the Appraised Value or the purchase price of the Mortgaged Property with respect to a purchase money Mortgage Loan was insured as to payment defaults by a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer or (ii) the Mortgage Loan was insured as to payment defaults by a Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV over 95%. All provisions of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, as applicable, have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No Mortgage Loan requires payment of such premiums, in whole or in part, by the Purchaser. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, subject to state and federal law, and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Company to maintain the Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. No action has been taken or failed to be taken, on or prior to the Closing Date which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Company or the Mortgagor, or for any other reason under such coverage; With respect to any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the mortgage interest rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium;

(jj) Unless otherwise specified in the related Term Sheet, none of the Mortgage Loans are secured by an interest in a leasehold estate. The Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a townhouse, or a two-to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development, provided, however, that no residence or dwelling is a single parcel of real property with a manufactured home not affixed to a permanent foundation, or a mobile home. Any condominium unit or planned unit development conforms with the Company’s underwriting guidelines.

(kk) Payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after the funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in monthly installments of principal and interest, which installments are subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears.

(ll) As of the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Property was lawfully occupied under applicable law, and all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities;

(nn) The Mortgagor has not notified the Company, and the Company has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940;

(oo) No Mortgage Loan is a construction or rehabilitation Mortgage Loan or was made to facilitate the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property;

(pp) The Mortgagor for each Mortgage Loan is a natural person;

(qq) None of the Mortgage Loans are Co-op Loans; 

(rr)  With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a prepayment penalty feature, each such prepayment penalty is enforceable and will be enforced by the Company and each prepayment penalty is permitted pursuant to federal, state and local law. No Mortgage Loan will impose a prepayment penalty for a term in excess of five years from the date such Mortgage Loan was originated. Except as otherwise set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that contains a prepayment penalty, such prepayment penalty is at least equal to the lesser of (A) the maximum amount permitted under applicable law and (B) six months interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate on the amount prepaid in excess of 20% of the original principal balance of such Mortgage Loan;

(ww) Each Mortgage Note, each Mortgage, each Assignment and any other documents required pursuant to this Agreement to be delivered to the Purchaser or its designee, or its assignee for each Mortgage Loan, have been, on or before the related Closing Date, delivered to the Purchaser or its designee, or its assignee.

Section 3.03 Repurchase; Substitution.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery of the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Purchaser, or its designee, and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination, or lack of examination, of any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by either the Company or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. The Company shall have a period of sixty (60) days from the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such breach within which to correct or cure such breach. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that if any such breach is not corrected or cured within such sixty day period, the Company shall, at the Purchaser's option and not later than ninety (90) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of such breach, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price or, with the Purchaser's prior consent and at Purchaser’s sole option, substitute a Mortgage Loan as provided below. In the event that any such breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01, and such breach is not cured within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company of such breach, all Mortgage Loans shall, at the option of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Company at the Repurchase Price. Any such repurchase shall be accomplished by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Purchaser in the amount of the Repurchase Price.

If the Company is required to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Company may, with the Purchaser's prior consent and at Purchaser’s sole option, within ninety (90) days from the related Closing Date, remove such defective Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and substitute another mortgage loan for such defective Mortgage Loan, in lieu of repurchasing such defective Mortgage Loan. Any substitute Mortgage Loan is subject to Purchaser acceptability. Any substituted Loans will comply with the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement as of the substitution date

The Company shall amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the removed Mortgage Loan from this Agreement and the substitution of such substitute Mortgage Loan therefor. Upon such amendment, the Purchaser shall review the Mortgage File delivered to it relating to the substitute Mortgage Loan. In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Purchaser and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Company. The principal payment on a substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the Company and the principal payment on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on such date shall be the property of the Purchaser.

It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Company set forth in this Section 3.03 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan, and to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. If the Company fails to repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.03, or fails to cure a defective Mortgage Loan to Purchaser's reasonable satisfaction in accordance with this Section 3.03, or to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, that failure shall be an Event of Default and the Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue all remedies available in this Agreement as a result thereof. No provision of this paragraph shall affect the rights of the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement for cause, as set forth in Sections 10.01 and 11.01.

Any cause of action against the Company relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) the earlier of discovery of such breach by the Company or notice thereof by the Purchaser to the Company, (ii) failure by the Company to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Company by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.

In the event that any Mortgage Loan is held by a REMIC, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or as to which no default is imminent, no substitution pursuant to Subsection 3.03 shall be made after the applicable REMIC's "start up day" (as defined in Section 860G(a) (9) of the Code), unless the Company has obtained an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of such REMIC (as defined in Section 860F of the Code) or otherwise subject the REMIC to tax, or (ii) cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 4.01 Company to Act as Servicer.

The Company, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and with Accepted Servicing Practices, 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 Company may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and with Accepted Servicing Practices and exercise the same care that it customarily employs for its own account. Except as set forth in this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, the Company shall service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides (special servicing option), which include, but are not limited to, provisions regarding the liquidation of Mortgage Loans, the collection of Mortgage Loan payments, the payment of taxes, insurance and other charges, the maintenance of hazard insurance with a Qualified Insurer, the maintenance of mortgage impairment insurance, the maintenance of fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance, inspections, the restoration of Mortgaged Property, the maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, insurance claims, the title, management and disposition of REO Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property, the transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Files, annual statements, and examination of records and facilities. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing provisions of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and any of the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides, the provisions of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet shall control and be binding upon the Purchaser and the Company.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, the Company may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Company's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Purchaser, provided, however, that unless the Company has obtained the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Company shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer for more than ninety days or forgive any payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such modification which has been agreed to in writing by the Purchaser and which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Company shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 4.04, the difference between (a) such month's principal and one month's interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Company shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances pursuant to Section 4.05. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may not enter into a forbearance agreement or similar arrangement with respect to any Mortgage Loan which runs more than 180 days after the first delinquent Due Date. Any such agreement shall be approved by Purchaser and, if required, by the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy insurer and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy insurer, if required.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Mortgage Loan becomes subject to a Pass-Through Transfer, the Company (a) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, shall not permit any modification with respect to such Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate and (b) shall not (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to such Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Company, reasonably foreseeable) make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of such Mortgage Loan that would both (i) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (ii) cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contriburions” after the startup date under the REMIC Provisions.

Prior to taking any action with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject to a Pass-Through Transfer, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Company will obtain an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the trustee in such Pass-Through Transfer with respect to whether such action could result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code)(either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”), and the Company shall not take any such actions as to which it has been advised that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.

The Company shall not permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in any REMIC. The Company shall not enter into any arrangement by which a REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit a REMIC to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Company shall employ Accepted Servicing Practices, giving due consideration to the Purchaser's reliance on the Company. Unless a different time period is stated in this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, Purchaser shall be deemed to have given consent in connection with a particular matter if Purchaser does not affirmatively grant or deny consent within five (5) Business Days from the date Purchaser receives a second written request for consent for such matter from Company as servicer.

The Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by a Subservicer on behalf of the Company provided that the Subservicer is an entity that engages in the business of servicing loans, and in either case shall be authorized to transact business, and licensed to service mortgage loans, in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Subservicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Subservicing Agreement, and in either case shall be a FHLMC or Fannie Mae approved mortgage servicer in good standing, and no event has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage, which would make it unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for lenders imposed by Fannie Mae or for seller/servicers imposed by Fannie Mae or FHLMC, or which would require notification to Fannie Mae or FHLMC. In addition, each Subservicer will obtain and preserve its qualifications to do business as a foreign corporation and its licenses to service mortgage loans, in each jurisdiction in which such qualifications and/or licenses are or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform or cause to be performed its duties under the related Subservicing Agreement. The Company may perform any of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause the Subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Company of the Subservicer shall not release the Company from any of its obligations hereunder and the Company shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of the Subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses of the Subservicer from its own funds, and the Subservicer's fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee. Company shall notify Purchaser promptly in writing upon the appointment of any Subservicer.

At the cost and expense of the Company, without any right of reimbursement from the Custodial Account, the Company shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor subservicer meeting the requirements in the preceding paragraph, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Company, at the Company's option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the Company's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 4.13, 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01 and if requested to do so by the Purchaser, the Company shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer effective as of the date of termination of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer from the Company's own funds without reimbursement from the Purchaser.

Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Company and the Subservicer or any reference herein to actions taken through the Subservicer or otherwise, the Company shall not be relieved of its obligations to the Purchaser and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Company shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with the Subservicer for indemnification of the Company by the Subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. The Company will indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any loss, liability or expense arising out of its use of a Subservicer to perform any of its servicing duties, responsibilities and obligations hereunder.

Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving the Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and Company alone, and the Purchaser shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of Purchaser to pay the Subservicer's fees and expenses. For purposes of distributions and advances by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when the Subservicer has received such payment.

Section 4.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the Company will proceed diligently to 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, Accepted Servicing Practices, and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, 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 Company will take special care in ascertaining and estimating annual escrow payments, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable, so that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

In no event will the Company waive its right to any prepayment penalty or premium without the prior written consent of Purchaser and Company will use diligent efforts to collect same when due except as otherwise provided in the prepayment penalty rider to the Mortgage.

Section 4.03 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage

The Company shall use its best efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Company would use in servicing loans for its own account, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and the best interest of Purchaser, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 4.01. Foreclosure or comparable proceedings shall be initiated or a notice of default sent within ninety (90) days of default for Mortgaged Properties for which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, subject to state and federal law and regulation. The Company shall use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Purchaser, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Company shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Company through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. Company shall obtain prior approval of Purchaser as to repair or restoration expenses in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). The Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings. The Company shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings or functions; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Company has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector at the Purchaser's expense. Upon completion of the inspection, the Company shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Purchaser shall determine how the Company shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser's sole option, terminate the Company as servicer of any Mortgage Loan which becomes ninety (90) days or greater delinquent in payment of a scheduled Monthly Payment, without payment of any termination fee with respect thereto, provided that the Company shall on the date said termination takes effect be reimbursed for any unreimbursed advances of the Company's funds made pursuant to Section 5.03 and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees in each case relating to the Mortgage Loan underlying such delinquent Mortgage Loan notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.05. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof shall apply to said termination and the transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect to such delinquent Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser or its designee.

In the event that a Mortgage Loan becomes part of a REMIC, and becomes REO Property, such property shall be disposed of by the Company, with the consent of Purchaser as required pursuant to this Agreement, before the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, unless the Company provides to the trustee under such REMIC an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the transaction to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that certificates are outstanding. Company shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each such REO Property for the certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(E) of the Code, or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC provisions of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such property, the Company shall either itself or through an agent selected by Company, protect and conserve such property in the same manner and to such an extent as is customary in the locality where such property is located.

Section 4.04 Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.

The Company 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 Custodial Accounts. The Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account, which shall be deposited within 24 hours of receipt, shall at all times be insured by the FDIC up to the FDIC insurance limits, or must be invested in Permitted Investments for the benefit of the Purchaser. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit B hereto. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and upon the request of any subsequent Purchaser.

The Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis, and retain therein the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or received by it prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto, other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date:

(vi) all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, the loan documents or applicable law;

(x) any amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.01, 4.13 or 6.02.

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Company in the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Company and the Company shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 (iv). The Purchaser shall not be responsible for any losses suffered with respect to investment of funds in the Custodial Account.
 
Section 4.05 Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.

The Company may, from time to time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i) to make payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01;

(ii) to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Company's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made, it being understood that, in the case of such reimbursement, the Company's right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that, where the Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 3.03, the Company's right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such Section and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(iii) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees(or REO administration fees described in Section 4.13), the Company's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related proceeds from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement; any recovery shall be made upon liquidation of the REO Property;

(iv) to pay to itself as part of its servicing compensation (a) any interest earned on funds in the Custodial Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Remittance Date), and (b) the Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery as to interest with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan;

(v) to pay to itself with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has been repurchased pursuant to Section 3.03 all amounts received thereon and not distributed as of the date on which the related repurchase price is determined,

(vii) to remove funds inadvertently placed in the Custodial Account by the Company; and

(vi) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement.


Section 4.06 Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts.

The Company 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. The Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds deposited in each Escrow Account shall at all times be insured in a manner to provide maximum insurance under the insurance limitations of the FDIC, or must be invested in Permitted Investments. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit C. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and upon request to any subsequent purchaser.

The Company shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, 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;

(ii) all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property; and

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

The Company shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set forth or in accordance with Section 4.07. The Company shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Company 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. The Purchaser shall not be responsible for any losses suffered with respect to investment of funds in the Escrow Account.


Section 4.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by Company only:

(i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, fire and hazard insurance premiums, condominium assessments and comparable items;

(ii) to reimburse Company for any Servicing Advance made by Company with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;

(iv) for transfer to the Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

As part of its servicing duties, the Company shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Escrow Account, to the extent required by law, 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; and

(viii) to pay to the Mortgagors or other parties Insurance Proceeds deposited in accordance with Section 4.06.

Section 4.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.
 
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of primary mortgage insurance premiums and fire 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 Company in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Company shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Company assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

The Company will maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be terminated only with the approval of Purchaser, or as required by applicable law or regulation. The Company will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Company shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Company would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Company shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Company under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.09 Transfer of Accounts.

The Company may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Eligible Account from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 4.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Company shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC and customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, each Mortgage Loan shall be covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in effect with an insurance carrier acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding 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. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Company determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the Fannie Mae Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Company shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Company shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf. The Company shall also maintain on each REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, and, 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 Company 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 Accepted Servicing Practices, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need be required by the Company of the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to this Agreement, the Fannie Mae Guides or such applicable state or federal laws and 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 Company and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount or material change in coverage to the Company. The Company shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Company shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are Qualified Insurers.

Section 4.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.

In the event that the Company shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC 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 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Company shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Purchaser, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and shall use its best efforts to obtain a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Purchaser.

Section 4.12 Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Company shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loan to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loan. The Fidelity Bond shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Company against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement and fraud of such persons. The errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Company against losses arising out of errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such errors and omissions insurance shall also protect and insure the Company against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond or errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Company 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 Guides. Upon request by the Purchaser, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Purchaser. The Company shall notify the Purchaser within five (5) business days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. The Purchaser (or any party having the status of Purchaser hereunder) and any subsidiary thereof and their successors or assigns as their interests may appear must be named as loss payees on the Fidelity Bond and as additional insured on the errors and omissions policy. Upon request by Purchaser, Company shall provide Purchaser with an insurance certificate certifying coverage under this Section 4.12, and will provide an update to such certificate upon request, or upon renewal or material modification of coverage.

Section 4.13 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Purchaser or its designee, or in the event the Purchaser or its designee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the "doing business" or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an opinion of counsel obtained by the Company from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Purchaser.

The Company shall notify the Purchaser in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides of each acquisition of REO Property upon such acquisition (and, in any event, shall provide notice of the consummation of any foreclosure sale within three (3) Business Days of the date Company receives notice of such consummation), together with a copy of the drive by appraisal or brokers price opinion of the Mortgaged Property obtained in connection with such acquisition, and thereafter assume the responsibility for marketing such REO property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Company shall continue to provide certain administrative services to the Purchaser relating to such REO Property as set forth in this Section 4.13. The fee for such administrative services shall be $2,000 to be paid upon liquidation of the REO Property. No Servicing Fee shall be assessed or otherwise accrue on any REO Property from and after the date on which it becomes an REO Property.

The Company shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Company, and in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Company 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 monthly thereafter or more frequently as required by the circumstances. The Company shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Company to the Purchaser.

The Company shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Company determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Purchaser to such effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a longer period than one (1) year is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Company shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property. No REO Property shall be marketed for less than the Appraised Value, without the prior consent of Purchaser. No REO Property shall be sold for less than ninety five percent (95%) of its Appraised Value, without the prior consent of Purchaser. All requests for reimbursement of Servicing Advances shall be in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides. The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Company at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Company deems to be in the best interests of the Purchaser (subject to the above conditions) only with the prior written consent of the Purchaser. Company shall provide monthly reports to Purchaser in reference to the status of the marketing of the REO Properties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser's sole option, terminate the Company as servicer of any such REO Property without payment of any termination fee with respect thereto, provided that the Company shall on the date said termination takes effect be reimbursed for any unreimbursed advances of the Company's funds made pursuant to Section 5.03 and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees in each case relating to the Mortgage Loan underlying such REO Property notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.05. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof shall apply to said termination and the transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect to such REO Property to the Purchaser or its designee. Within five Business Days of any such termination, the Company shall, if necessary convey such property to the Purchaser and shall further provide the Purchaser with the following information regarding the subject REO Property: the related drive by appraisal or brokers price opinion, and copies of any related Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy claims. In addition, within five Business Days, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with the following information regarding the subject REO Property: the related trustee’s deed upon sale and copies of any related hazard insurance claims, or repair bids.

Section 4.14 Notification of Maturity Date.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Mortgagor any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the maturity date if required under applicable law.

It is understood that, by operation of Section 4.04, the remittance on the first Remittance Date with respect to Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant to the related Term Sheet is to include principal collected after the Cut-off Date through the preceding Determination Date plus interest, adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate collected through such Determination Date exclusive of any portion thereof allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, with the adjustments specified in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.

With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the Remittance Date, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus three (3) percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall cover the period commencing with the day following the Business Day such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made to the Purchaser, both inclusive. The payment by the Company of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Company. On each Remittance Date, the Company shall provide a remittance report detailing all amounts being remitted pursuant to this Section 5.01.

Section 5.02 Statements to the Purchaser.

The Company will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Company shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Company reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, the Company, with the approval of the Purchaser, will enter into an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 6.01, the Company, with the prior consent of the Purchaser and the primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement.

In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the Company. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the amount of the Monthly Payment and the maturity date may not be changed (except pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note). If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Company diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan. The Company shall notify the Purchaser that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Purchaser the original of any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. All fees collected by the Company for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Company may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 6.01, the term "assumption" is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

Section 6.02 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Company of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Company will immediately notify the Purchaser by a certification, which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04 have been or will be so deposited, of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall no later than five Business Days after receipt of such certification and request, release or cause to be released to the Company, the related Mortgage Loan Documents and, upon its receipt of such documents, the Company shall promptly prepare and deliver to the Purchaser the requisite satisfaction or release. No later than five (5) Business Days following its receipt of such satisfaction or release, the Purchaser shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Company the release or satisfaction properly executed by the owner of record of the applicable mortgage or its duly appointed attorney in fact. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account.

In the event the Company satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, the Company, upon written demand, shall remit within two (2) Business Days to the Purchaser the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Company shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance insuring the Company against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loan, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the Purchaser shall, upon request of the Company and delivery to the Purchaser of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser to the Company. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Company to return the related Mortgage documents to the Purchaser when the need therefor by the Company no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Company has delivered to the Purchaser a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Purchaser to the Company.

Section 6.03 Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account (to the extent of interest payments collected on the Mortgage Loans) or to retain from interest payments collected on the Mortgage Loans, the amounts provided for as the Company's Servicing Fee, subject to payment of compensating interest on Principal Prepayments as capped by the Servicing Fee pursuant to Section 5.01 (iii). Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 6.01, and late payment charges or otherwise shall be retained by the Company to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. No Servicing Fee shall be payable in connection with partial Monthly Payments. The Company shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for.

Section 6.04 Annual Statement as to Compliance.

The Company will deliver to the Purchaser not later than 90 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Company beginning in March 2002, an Officers' Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Company during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Company has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officers and the nature and status of cure provisions thereof. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Company to the Purchaser upon request.

Section 6.05 Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants' Servicing Report.

Within ninety (90) days of Company's fiscal year end beginning in March 2002 the Company at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Purchaser to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the Company's servicing of mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans pursuant to servicing agreements substantially similar to this Agreement, which agreements may include this Agreement, and that, on the basis of such an examination, conducted substantially in the uniform single audit program for mortgage bankers, such firm is of the opinion that the Company's servicing has been conducted in compliance with the agreements examined pursuant to this Section 6.05, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Company to the Purchaser. In addition, on an annual basis, Company shall provided Purchaser with copies of its audited financial statements.

Section 6.06 Purchaser's Right to Examine Company Records.

The Purchaser shall have the right to examine and audit upon reasonable notice to the Company, during business hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under applicable circumstances, any and all of the books, records, documentation or other information of the Company, or held by another for the Company or on its behalf or otherwise, which relates to the performance or observance by the Company of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement.

The Company shall provide to the Purchaser and any supervisory agents or examiners representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Purchaser, including but not limited to FDIC and other similar entities, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in the possession of the Company which may be required by any applicable regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, upon reasonable request, during normal business hours and at the offices of the Company, and in accordance with the federal government, FDIC, or any other similar regulations.

ARTICLE VII

REPORTS TO BE PREPARED BY SERVICER

Section 7.01 Company Shall Provide Information as Reasonably Required.

The Company shall furnish to the Purchaser during the term of this Agreement such periodic, special or other reports, information or documentation, not provided for herein, as shall be necessary, reasonable or appropriate in respect to the Purchaser, or otherwise in respect to the Mortgage Loans and the performance of the Company under this Agreement, including any reports, information or documentation reasonably required to comply with any regulations regarding any supervisory agents or examiners of the Purchaser all such reports or information to be as provided by and in accordance with such applicable instructions and directions as the Purchaser may reasonably request in relation to this Agreement or the performance of the Company under this Agreement. Such periodic, special or other reports, information or documentation furnished to the Purchaser at the Purchaser’s request pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be at the expense of the Purchaser. The Company agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Purchaser, from time to time, may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

In connection with marketing the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser may make available to a prospective purchaser audited financial statements of the Company for the most recently completed two (2) fiscal years for which such statements are available, as well as a Consolidated Statement of Condition at the end of the last two (2) fiscal years covered by any Consolidated Statement of Operations. If it has not already done so, the Company shall furnish promptly to the Purchaser or a prospective purchaser copies of the statements specified above.

The Company shall make reasonably available to the Purchaser or any prospective Purchaser a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions and to permit any prospective purchaser to inspect the Company’s servicing facilities for the purpose of satisfying such prospective purchaser that the Company has the ability to service the Mortgage Loans as provided in this Agreement.
 

 

ARTICLE VIII

THE SERVICER

Section 8.01 Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

The Company agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Company to observe and perform its duties, obligations, covenants, and agreements to service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 or 3.02 of this Agreement. The Company shall immediately notify the Purchaser if a claim is made by a third party against Company with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the consent of the Purchaser) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, whether or not such claim is settled prior to judgment, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or the Purchaser in respect of such claim. The Company shall follow any written instructions received from the Purchaser in connection with such claim. The Purchaser shall promptly reimburse the Company for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the two preceding sentences except when the claim relates to the failure of the Company to service and administer the Mortgages in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the breach of representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 or 3.02, or the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Company. The provisions of this Section 8.01 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Company.

The Company will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation except as permitted herein, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Any Person into which the Company may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Company shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Company whether or not related to loan servicing, shall be the successor of the Company hereunder, 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; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution (i) having a GAAP net worth of not less than $25,000,000, (ii) the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC and/or BIF, and which is a HUD-approved mortgagee whose primary business is in origination and servicing of first lien mortgage loans, and (iii) who is a Fannie Mae or FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing; provided, further, however, that the Company shall give sixty (60) days written notice to the Purchaser of any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Company shall be a party, or of any Person succeeding to the business of the Company, and the Purchaser, at it sole option, shall make the determination as to whether such successor of the Company shall continue to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder.

Section 8.03 Limitation on Liability of the Company and Others.

Neither the Company nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Company shall be under any liability to the Purchaser 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 made in good faith; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Company or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in strict compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Company and any officer, employee or agent of the Company may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by the Purchaser respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Company shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its reasonable opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Company may, with the consent of the Purchaser, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Purchaser will be liable, and the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Purchaser upon written demand.

Section 8.04 Company Not to Assign or Resign.

The Company shall not assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Company and the Purchaser or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Company. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Company shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Purchaser which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Purchaser. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Company's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 11.01.

Section 8.05 No Transfer of Servicing.

With respect to the retention of the Company to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Company acknowledges that the Purchaser has acted in reliance upon the Company's independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plan, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section, the Company shall not either assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Purchaser, which consent shall be granted or withheld in the Purchaser's sole discretion.

Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 8.05, in the event that the Company either shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof without (i) satisfying the requirements set forth herein or (ii) the prior written consent of the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Company (other than with respect to accrued but unpaid Servicing Fees and Servicing Advances remaining unpaid) or any third party.
 

 

ARTICLE IX

Section 9.01 Events of Default.

In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the Company shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:

(ii) failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Company by the Purchaser; or

(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, 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 Company and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty days; or

(v) the Company 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; or

(vi) Company ceases to be approved by either Fannie Mae or FHLMC as a mortgage loan seller or servicer for more than thirty days; or

(vii) the Company attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder or the Company attempts, without the consent of the Purchaser, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets or to assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof; or

(viii) the Company ceases to be (a) licensed to service first lien residential mortgage loans in any jurisdiction in which a Mortgaged Property is located and such licensing is required, and (b) qualified to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is currently so qualified, but only to the extent such non-qualification materially and adversely affects the Company's ability to perform its obligations hereunder; or

(ix) the Company fails to meet the eligibility criteria set forth in the last sentence of Section 8.02.

Then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Purchaser, by notice in writing to the Company (except in the case of an Event of Default under clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) above, in which case, automatically and without notice) Company may, in addition to whatever rights the Purchaser may have under Sections 3.03 and 8.01 and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Company for the same. On or after the receipt by the Company of such written notice (or, in the case of an Event of Default under clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) above, in which case, automatically and without notice), all authority and power of the Company under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 11.01. Upon written request from the Purchaser, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor's possession all Mortgage Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Company's sole expense. The Company agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting the termination of the Company's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Company to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.

Section 9.02 Waiver of Defaults.

The Purchaser may waive only by written notice any default by the Company in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default 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 thereon except to the extent expressly so waived in writing.

Section 11.01 Successor to the Company.

Prior to termination of Company's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 4.13, 8.04, 9.01, 10.01 (ii) or (iii), the Purchaser shall (i) succeed to and assume all of the Company's responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor having the characteristics set forth in Section 8.02 hereof and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Company under this Agreement prior to the termination of Company's responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as the Purchaser and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Company's duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Sections, the Company shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of Company pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section and shall in no event relieve the Company of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.03 and the remedies available to the Purchaser thereunder and under Section 8.01, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 and 8.01 shall be applicable to the Company notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Company, or the termination of this Agreement.

Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the Purchaser an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Company or this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.13, 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01 shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser may have against the Company arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

The Company shall promptly deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account and the Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Company shall account for all funds. The Company shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things all as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company. The successor shall make arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the Company for unrecovered Servicing Advances which the successor retains hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.

Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the Company shall notify by mail the Purchaser of such appointment.

(i)(A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material provided under this Article 1 by or on behalf of the Company, or provided under this Article 1 by or on behalf of any Subservicer, Subcontractor or Third-Party Originator (collectively, the “Company Information”), or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Company Information a material fact required to be stated in the Company Information or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that clause (B) of this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the Company Information and not to any other information communicated in connection with a sale or purchase of securities, without regard to whether the Company Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information;

This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any party to this Agreement.

(ii) Any failure by the Company, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any information, report, certification or accountants’ letter when and as required under Section 4 or 5, including any failure by the Company to identify pursuant to Section 6(b) any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, which continues unremedied for ten calendar days after the date of written notice from the Master Servicer shall constitute an Event of Default (notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement to the contrary) with respect to the Company under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement, and shall entitle the Purchaser, any Master Servicer or any Depositor, as applicable, in its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Company as servicer under this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Company except for reimbursing the Company for any servicing advances that the Company actually made as servicer pursuant to this Agreement and rights arising prior to such termination; provided that to the extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Company as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.
 
(iii) The Company shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser (or any designee of the Purchaser, such as a master servicer) and any Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Purchaser (or such designee) or such Depositor, as such are incurred, in connection with the termination of the Company as servicer and the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer. The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit whatever rights the Purchaser or any Depositor may have under other provisions of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.
 
(c) Notification and Cooperation. The parties hereto further agree, and any Indemnified Party not a party hereto is deemed to agree, as a condition to its reliance on such indemnification, that the Company’s indemnification obligations under this Section 7 are subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) An Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder shall give written notice to the Company within a reasonable time after the Indemnified Party receives notice of an indemnifiable claim provided that failure to give such notice within a reasonable time shall not invalidate the Company’s obligations to indemnify such Indemnified Party except if, and then only to the extent that, such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party or its ability to defend such claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the burden of proving such material prejudice;
(ii) The Company shall undertake the defense of the action or claim with counsel or other representatives of its own choosing and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party (which counsel shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, be counsel to the Indemnifying Party);
(iii) The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate and assist in, but not control, the defense of such claim and employ separate counsel in any action or claim, at the expense of the Indemnified Party (i.e., at its own expense), provided that if the interests of the Company and the Indemnified Party diverge, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to separate counsel at the Company’s expense, provided such expense is reasonable; and
(iv) The Company shall not settle or compromise any claim suit or action against the Indemnified Party without the express prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

(d) Exclusive Remedy. Except for remedies under the Agreement and remedies that cannot be waived as a matter of law and injunctive relief, the rights under this Section 7 shall be the exclusive remedy for breaches of this Section 7 (including any covenant, obligation, representation or warranty contained herein or therein).

(e) Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Company be obligated under this Section 7 to indemnify an Indemnified Party otherwise entitled to indemnity hereunder in respect of any indemnifiable claims or losses to the extent that such claims or losses result directly from the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligent acts of the Indemnified Party.

(f) The parties hereto agree that any written notice under this Section 7 may be made via email.

Section 8 Third Party Beneficiary.
 
For purposes of this Article I and any related provisions thereto, each Master Servicer shall be considered a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, entitled to all the rights and benefits hereof as if it were a direct party to this Agreement.
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Seller and the Purchaser have caused this Amendment to be executed and delivered by their duly authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

If the Company cannot deliver the original recorded Mortgage Loan Documents or the original policy of title insurance, including riders and endorsements thereto, on the related Closing Date, the Company shall, promptly upon receipt thereof and in any case not later than 150 days from the related Closing Date, deliver such original documents, including original recorded documents, to the Purchaser or its designee (unless the Company is delayed in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office). If delivery is not completed within 150 days solely due to delays in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Company shall deliver such document to Purchaser, or its designee, within such time period as specified in a Company's Officer's Certificate. In the event that documents have not been received by the date specified in the Company's Officer's Certificate, a subsequent Company's Officer's Certificate shall be delivered by such date specified in the prior Company's Officer's Certificate, stating a revised date for receipt of documentation. The procedure shall be repeated until the documents have been received and delivered. If delivery is not completed within 270 days solely due to delays in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Company shall continue to use its best efforts to effect delivery as soon as possible thereafter, provided that if such documents are not delivered by the 330th day from the date of the related Closing Date, the Company shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loans at the Repurchase Price in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof unless the Company provides evidence that such non-delivery is solely due to delays by the appropriate recording office.

The Company shall pay all initial recording fees, if any, for the assignments of mortgage and any other fees in connection with the transfer of all original documents to the Purchaser or its designee. The Company shall prepare, in recordable form, all assignments of mortgage necessary to assign the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, or its designee. The Company shall be responsible for recording the assignments of mortgage as directed by the Purchaser.

The Company shall provide an original or duplicate original of the title insurance policy to the Purchaser or its designee within ninety (90) days of the receipt of the recorded documents (required for issuance of such policy) from the applicable recording office.

Any review by the Purchaser, or its designee, of the Mortgage Files shall in no way alter or reduce the Company's obligations hereunder.

If the Purchaser or its designee discovers any defect with respect to a Mortgage File, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designee to, give written specification of such defect to the Company which may be given in the exception report attached as an exhibit to the related Term Sheet or the certification delivered pursuant to this Section 2.07, or otherwise in writing and the Company shall cure or repurchase such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 3.03.

The Company shall forward to the Purchaser, or its designee, original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with Section 4.01 or 6.01 within thirty (30) days of their execution; provided, however, that the Company shall provide the Purchaser, or its designee, with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within thirty (30) days of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within 120 days of its submission for recordation.

From time to time, the Company may have a need (other than in connection with a payment in full, which is described more fully in Section 6.02 herein) for Mortgage Loan Documents to be released from the Purchaser, or its designee. The Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designee, upon the written request of the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, within ten (10) Business Days, deliver to the Company, any requested documentation previously delivered to the Purchaser as part of the Mortgage File, provided that such documentation is promptly returned to the Purchaser, or its designee, when the Company no longer requires possession of the document, and provided that during the time that any such documentation is held by the Company, such possession is in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser.

Section 2.08 Quality Control Procedures.

The Company must have an internal quality control program that verifies, on a regular basis, the existence and accuracy of the legal documents, credit documents, property appraisals, and underwriting decisions. The program must be capable of evaluating and monitoring the overall quality of its loan production and servicing activities. The program is to ensure that the Mortgage Loans are originated and serviced in accordance with prudent mortgage banking practices and accounting principles; guard against dishonest, fraudulent, or negligent acts; and guard against errors and omissions by officers, employees, or other authorized persons.

Section 2.09 Near-term Principal Prepayments; Near Term Payment Defaults.

In the event any Principal Prepayment in full is made by a Mortgagor on or prior to three months (unless such other period is set forth in the related Confirmation and Term Sheet) after the related Closing Date, the Company shall, upon written notice thereof from the Purchaser received by the Company within sixty (60) days of the date of such prepayment in full, remit to the Purchaser an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Purchase Price Percentage over par multiplied by the amount of such Principal Prepayment in full. Such remittance shall be made by the Company to the Purchaser no later than the seventh Business Day following receipt of such notice of Principal Prepayment by the Purchaser.

In the event either of the first three (3) scheduled Monthly Payments (unless such other number of Monthly Payments is set forth in the related Confirmation or Term Sheet) which are due under any Mortgage Loan after the related Cut-off Date are not made during the month in which such Monthly Payments are due, then not later than seven (7) Business Days after written notice to the Company by the Purchaser (and at the Purchaser’s sole option), the Company, shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser pursuant to the repurchase provisions contained in Subsection 3.03. However, if the Company provides evidence satisfactory to the Purchaser that the delinquency was due to a servicing set up error, no repurchase shall be required.

(d) There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company, or any order or decree outstanding, with respect to the Company which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company or seeks to prevent the consummation, performance or enforceability of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of or compliance by the Company with this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, except for consents, approvals, authorizations and orders which have been obtained;

(f) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the related Term Sheet is in the ordinary course of business of the Company, and the transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or the related Term Sheet are not subject to bulk transfer or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction;

(g) The origination and servicing practices used by the Company and any prior originator or servicer with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been legal and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and the Mortgage Loan Documents, and in all material respects proper and prudent in the mortgage origination and servicing business. Each Mortgage Loan is being (and has been) serviced in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and applicable state and federal laws, including, without limitation, the Federal Truth-In-Lending Act and other consumer protection laws, real estate settlement procedures, usury, equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws. With respect to escrow deposits and payments that the Company, on behalf of an investor, is entitled to collect, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Company, and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All escrow payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law and the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage. As to any Mortgage Loan that is the subject of an escrow, escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every escrowed item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or other charges or payments due under the Mortgage Note have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note;

(h) The Company used no selection procedures that identified the Mortgage Loans as being less desirable or valuable than other comparable mortgage loans in the Company's portfolio at the related Cut-off Date;

(j) The Company is an approved seller/servicer of residential mortgage loans for Fannie Mae, FHLMC and HUD, with such facilities, procedures and personnel necessary for the sound servicing of such mortgage loans.

(k) The Company does not believe, nor does it have any cause or reason to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in this Agreement or the related Term Sheet. The Company is solvent and the sale of the Mortgage Loans will not cause the Company to become insolvent. The sale of the Mortgage Loans is not undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of the Company's creditors;

(l) No statement, tape, diskette, form, report or other document prepared by, or on behalf of, the Company pursuant to this Agreement or the related Term Sheet or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, contains or will contain any statement that is or will be inaccurate or misleading in any material respect;

(m) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Servicing Fee represents reasonable compensation for performing such services and that the entire Servicing Fee shall be treated by the Company, for accounting and tax purposes, as compensation for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement. In the opinion of the Company, the consideration received by the Company upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser under this Agreement and the related Term Sheet constitutes fair consideration for the Mortgage Loans under current market conditions.

(n) The Company has delivered to the Purchaser financial statements of its parent, for its last two complete fiscal years as requested. All such financial information fairly presents the pertinent results of operations and financial position for the period identified and has been prepared in accordance with GAAP throughout the periods involved, except as set forth in the notes thereto. There has been no change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Company since the date of the Company’s financial information that would have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement; and

(o) The Company has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person that may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loans.

Section 3.02 Representations and Warranties as to Individual Mortgage Loans.

The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as to each Mortgage Loan, as of the related Closing Date as follows:

   (a) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the related Term Sheet is true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the related Cut-Off Date;

(b) The Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first lien or a first priority ownership interest in an estate in fee simple in real property on the Mortgaged Property securing the related Mortgage Note subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors;

(c) All payments due prior to the related Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan have been made; there are no material defaults under the terms of the Mortgage Loan; the Company has not advanced its own funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the related Mortgaged Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Loan. All of the Mortgage Loans will have an actual interest paid to date of their related Cut-off Date (or later) and will be due for the scheduled monthly payment next succeeding the Cut-off Date (or later), as evidenced by a posting to the Company's servicing collection system. No payment under any Mortgage Loan is delinquent nor has any scheduled payment been delinquent at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the month of the related Closing Date. For purposes of this paragraph, a Mortgage Loan will be deemed delinquent if any payment due thereunder was not paid by the Mortgagor in the month such payment was due;

(d) There are no defaults by the Company in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable;

(e) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which have been recorded to the extent any such recordation is required by law, or, necessary to protect the interest of the Purchaser. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed except in connection with a modification agreement and which modification agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms thereof except in connection with an assumption agreement and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and title insurance policy, to the extent required by the related policies;

(f) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note or 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;

(g) All buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a Qualified Insurer, against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided for in the Fannie Mae or FHLMC Guide, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. All such insurance policies are in full force and effect and contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Company and its successors in interest and assigns as loss payee and such clause is still in effect and all premiums due thereon have been paid. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration which policy conforms to Fannie Mae or FHLMC requirements, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. Such policy was issued by a Qualified Insurer. 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. Neither the Company (nor any prior originator or servicer of any of the Mortgage Loans) nor any Mortgagor has engaged in any act or omission which has impaired or would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for therein, or the validity and binding effect of either;

(h) Each Mortgage Loan complies with, and the Company has complied with, applicable local, state and federal laws, regulations and other requirements including, without limitation, usury, equal credit opportunity, real estate settlement procedures, the Federal Truth-In-Lending Act, disclosure laws and all applicable predatory and abusive lending laws and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation, the receipt of interest by the owner of such Mortgage Loan, will not involve the violation of any such laws, rules or regulations. None of the Mortgage Loans are (a) Mortgage Loans subject to 12 CFR Part 226.31, 12 CFR Part 226.32 or 226.34 of Regulation Z, the regulation implementing TILA, which implements the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994, as amended, or (b) except as may be provided in subparagraph (c) below, classified and/or defined, as a “high cost”, “threshold”, “predatory” “high risk home loan” or “covered” loan (or a similarly classified loan using different terminology under a law imposing additional legal liability for mortgage loans having high interest rates, points and or/fees) under any other applicable state, federal or local law including, but not limited to, the States of Georgia, New York, North Carolina, Arkansas, Kentucky or New Mexico, (c) Mortgage Loans subject to the New Jersey Home Ownership Security Act of 2002 (the “Act”), unless such Mortgage Loan is a (1) “Home Loan” as defined in the Act that is a first lien Mortgage Loan, which is not a “High Cost Home Loan” as defined in the Act or (2) “Covered Home Loan” as defined in the Act that is a first lien purchase money Mortgage Loan, which is not a High Cost Home Loan under the Act, or (d) secured by Mortgaged Property in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with a loan application date on or after November 7, 2004 that refinances a mortgage loan that is less than sixty (60) months old, unless such Mortgage Loan (1) is on an investment property, (ii) meets the requirements set forth in the Code of Massachusetts Regulation (“CMR”), 209 CMR 53.04(1)(b), or (iii) meets the requirements set forth in the 209 CMR 53.04(1)(c). In addition to and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Mortgage Loan for which the Mortgaged Property is located in New Jersey is a Home Loan as defined in the Act that was made, arranged, or assigned by a person selling either a manufactured home or home improvements to the Mortgaged Property or was made by an originator to whom the Mortgagor was referred by any such seller. The Company shall maintain in its possession, available for the Purchaser’s inspection, as appropriate, and shall deliver to the Purchaser or its designee upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements;

(i) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled or subordinated, in whole or in part, or rescinded, 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 release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Company has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Company waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;

(j) The Mortgage is a valid, existing, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements securing the Mortgage Note's original principal balance subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors. The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note do not contain any evidence of any other security interest or other interest or right thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage subject only to (1) the lien of non-delinquent 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 which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and either (A) which are referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan, or (B) which do not adversely affect the residential use or Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal, and (3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not, individually or in the aggregate, 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. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein, and the Company has the full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser;

(k) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors, and the Company has taken all action necessary to transfer such rights of enforceability to the Purchaser (as applicable). All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. The Mortgage Loan Documents are on forms acceptable to Fannie Mae and FHLMC. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Company or the Mortgagor, or on the part of any other party involved in the origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements 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 were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;

(l) The Company is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note, and had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interests, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser, the Company will retain the Mortgage File or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee in trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of the Mortgage Loan. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the Purchaser, the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, were not subject to an assignment, sale or pledge to any person other than the Purchaser, and the Company had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner thereof. Following the sale of the Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. The Company intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan, except for purposes of servicing the Mortgage Loan as set forth in this Agreement. After the related Closing Date, the Company will not have any right to modify or alter the terms of the sale of the Mortgage Loan and the Company will not have any obligation or right to repurchase the Mortgage Loan or substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to by the Company and the Purchaser;

(m) Each Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC (including adjustable rate endorsements), issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (j)(1), (2) and (3) above) the Company, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and, with respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, 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 Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. The Company, its successors and assigns, is the sole insured of such lender's title insurance policy, such title insurance policy has been duly and validly endorsed to the Purchaser (to the extent necessary) or the assignment to the Purchaser of the Company's interest therein does not require the consent of or notification to the insurer 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 lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including the Company, nor any Mortgagor, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;

(n) There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration; and neither the Company, nor any prior mortgagee, has waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration;

(o) 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 liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage;

(p) All improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly within the project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in clause (m) above and all improvements on the property comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances;

(q) Each Mortgage Loan was originated by or for the Company pursuant to, and conforms with, the Company’s underwriting guidelines attached as Exhibit H hereto. The Mortgage Loan bears interest at an adjustable rate (if applicable) as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and Monthly Payments under the Mortgage Note are due and payable on the first day of each month. The Mortgage contains the usual and enforceable provisions of the Company at the time of origination for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder;

(r) The Mortgaged Property is not subject to any material damage. At origination of the Mortgage Loan there was not, since origination of the Mortgage Loan there has not been, and there currently is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. The Company has not received notification that any such proceedings are scheduled to commence at a future date;

(s) The related Mortgage contains 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;

(t) If the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified if required under applicable law to act as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses, except as may be required by local law, are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale or attempted sale after default by the Mortgagor;

(u) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the final approval of the mortgage loan application by a Qualified Appraiser, approved by the Company, who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Fannie Mae or FHLMC and Title XI of the FIRREA and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated. The appraisal is in a form acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC;

(v) All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (A) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (B) (1) organized under the laws of such state, or (2) qualified to do business in such state, or (3) federal savings and loan associations or national banks or a Federal Home Loan Bank or savings bank having principal offices in such state, or (4) not doing business in such state;

(w) The related Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to above and such collateral does not serve as security for any other obligation;

(x) The Mortgagor has received and has executed, where applicable, all disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to the making of such mortgage loans;

(y) The Mortgage Loan does not contain balloon or "graduated payment" features and no Mortgage Loan is subject to a buydown agreement or contains any buydown provision;

(z) The Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy and, the Mortgagor is not insolvent and the Company has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit standing that could reasonably be expected to cause investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or materially adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan;

(aa) Each Mortgage Loan bears interest based upon a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred and sixty (360) day year. The Mortgage Loans have an original term to maturity of not more than forty (40) years, with interest payable in arrears on the first day of each month. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, on each applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate will be adjusted to equal the sum of the Index, plus the applicable Margin; provided, that the Mortgage Interest Rate, on each applicable Adjustment Date, will not increase by more than the Initial Rate Cap or Periodic Rate Cap, as applicable. Over the term of each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Interest Rate will not exceed such Mortgage Loan's Lifetime Rate Cap. Unless indicated on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, none of the Mortgage Loans are “interest-only” Mortgage Loans or “negative amortization” Mortgage Loans. With respect to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, each Mort-gage Note requires a monthly payment which is suffi-cient (a) during the period prior to the first adjust-ment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, and (b) during the period following each Adjust-ment Date, to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such period over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note provides that when the Mortgage Interest Rate changes on an Adjustment Date, the then outstanding principal balance will be reamortized over the remaining life of the Mortgage Loan. Unless indicated on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, no Mortgage Loan contains terms or provi-sions which would result in negative amortization. None of the Mortgage Loans contain a conversion feature which would cause the Mortgage Interest Rate to convert to a fixed interest rate. None of the Mortgage Loans are considered agricultural loans;

(hh) In the event the Mortgage Loan had an LTV at origination greater than 80.00%, the excess of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan over 75.0% of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property with respect to a Refinanced Mortgage Loan, or the lesser of the Appraised Value or the Sales Price of the Mortgaged Property with respect to a purchase money Mortgage Loan was insured as to payment defaults by a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is also subject to the Company’s captive reinsurance agreement with the applicable insurer shall remain subject to such captive reinsurance agreement between the Company and the applicable insurer, provided that such insurer is a Qualified Insurer. Unless otherwise indicated on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, no Mortgage Loan has an LTV over 95%. All provisions of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No Mortgage Loan requires payment of such premiums, in whole or in part, by the Purchaser. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, subject to state and federal law, and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. No action has been taken or failed to be taken, on or prior to the Closing Date which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Company or the Mortgagor, or for any other reason under such coverage. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium. Unless otherwise indicated on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, none of the Mortgage Loans are subject to “lender-paid” mortgage insurance. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Company to maintain the Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith;

(mm) There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; there is no violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgaged Property; and the Company has not received any notice of any environmental hazard on the Mortgaged Property and nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property;

(nn) The Mortgagor has not notified the Company, and the Company has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act of 2004;

(rr)  With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a prepayment penalty feature, each such prepayment penalty is enforceable and will be enforced by the Company and each prepayment penalty is permitted pursuant to federal, state and local law. No Mortgage Loan will impose a prepayment penalty for a term in excess of five years from the date such Mortgage Loan was originated. Except as otherwise set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that contains a prepayment penalty, such prepayment penalty is at least equal to the lesser of (A) the maximum amount permitted under applicable law and (B) six months interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate on the amount prepaid in excess of 20% of the original principal balance of such Mortgage Loan;

(yy) No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to finance single-premium credit insurance policies;

(zz) No Mortgagor was encouraged or required to select a Mortgage Loan product offered by the Mortgage Loan’s originator which is a higher cost product designed for less creditworthy Mortgagors, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan’s origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account credit history and debt-to-income ratios for a lower-cost credit product then offered by the Mortgage Loan’s originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator. If, at the time of loan application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for a lower-cost credit product then offered by any mortgage lending affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator, the Mortgage Loan’s originator referred the Mortgagor’s application to such affiliate for underwriting consideration;

(aaa) The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage Loan employs objective mathematical principles which relate the Mortgagor’s income, assets and liabilities (except for any Mortgage Loan which does not require statement of income or assets) to the proposed payment and such underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such credit extension.

(eee) With respect to any Mortgage Loan originated on or after August 1, 2004, neither the related Mortgage nor the related Mortgage Note requires the Mortgagor to submit to arbitration to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Mortgage Loan;

(fff) No Mortgage Loan is secured by Mortgaged Property in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with a loan application date on or after November 7, 2004 that refinances a mortgage loan that is less than sixty (60) months old, unless such Mortgage Loan (1) is on an investment property, (ii) meets the requirements set forth in the Code of Massachusetts Regulation (“CMR”), 209 CMR 53.04(1)(b), or (iii) meets the requirements set forth in the 209 CMR 53.04(1)(c);

Section 3.03 Repurchase; Substitution.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery of the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Purchaser, or its designee, and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination, or lack of examination, of any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by either the Company or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. The Company shall have a period of sixty (60) days from the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such breach within which to correct or cure such breach. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that if any such breach is not corrected or cured within such sixty day period, the Company shall, at the Purchaser's option and not later than ninety (90) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of such breach, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price or, with the Purchaser's prior consent and at Purchaser’s sole option, substitute a Mortgage Loan as provided below. In the event that any such breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01, and such breach is not cured within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company of such breach, all Mortgage Loans shall, at the option of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Company at the Repurchase Price. Any such repurchase shall be accomplished by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Purchaser in the amount of the Repurchase Price.

If the Company is required to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Company may, with the Purchaser's prior consent and at the Purchaser’s sole option, within ninety (90) days from the related Closing Date, remove such defective Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and substitute another mortgage loan for such defective Mortgage Loan, in lieu of repurchasing such defective Mortgage Loan. Any substitute Mortgage Loan is subject to the Purchaser acceptability. Any substituted Loans will comply with the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement as of the substitution date.

The Company shall amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the removed Mortgage Loan from this Agreement and the substitution of such substitute Mortgage Loan therefor. Upon such amendment, the Purchaser shall review the Mortgage File delivered to it relating to the substitute Mortgage Loan. In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Purchaser and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Company. The principal payment on a substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the Company and the principal payment on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on such date shall be the property of the Purchaser.

For any month in which the Company is permitted to substitute one or more substitute Mortgage Loans, the Company will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance (after application of the principal portion of all scheduled payments due in the month of substitution) of all the substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution is less then the aggregate Stated Principal Balance (after application of the principal portion of the scheduled payment due in the month of substitution) of the such replaced Mortgage Loan. An amount equal to the aggregate of such deficiencies described in the preceding sentence for any Remittance Date shall be deposited into the Custodial Account by the Company on the related Determination Date in the month following the calendar month during which the substitution occurred.

It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Company set forth in this Section 3.03 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan, and to indemnify the Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. If the Company fails to repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.03, or fails to cure a defective Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser's reasonable satisfaction in accordance with this Section 3.03, or to indemnify the Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, that failure shall be an Event of Default and the Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue all remedies available in this Agreement as a result thereof. No provision of this paragraph shall affect the rights of the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement for cause, as set forth in Sections 10.01 and 11.01.

Any cause of action against the Company relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) the earlier of discovery of such breach by the Company or notice thereof by the Purchaser to the Company, (ii) failure by the Company to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Company by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.

In the event that any Mortgage Loan is held by a REMIC, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or as to which no default is imminent, no substitution pursuant to Subsection 3.03 shall be made after the applicable REMIC's "start up day" (as defined in Section 860G(a) (9) of the Code), unless the Company has obtained an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of such REMIC (as defined in Section 860F of the Code) or otherwise subject the REMIC to tax, or (ii) cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 4.01 Company to Act as Servicer.

The Company, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and with Accepted Servicing Practices, 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 Company may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and with Accepted Servicing Practices and exercise the same care that it customarily employs for its own account. Except as set forth in this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, the Company shall service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides (special servicing option), which include, but are not limited to, provisions regarding the liquidation of Mortgage Loans, the collection of Mortgage Loan payments, the payment of taxes, insurance and other charges, the maintenance of hazard insurance with a Qualified Insurer, the maintenance of mortgage impairment insurance, the maintenance of fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance, inspections, the restoration of Mortgaged Property, the maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, insurance claims, the title, management and disposition of REO Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property, the transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Files, annual statements, and examination of records and facilities. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing provisions of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and any of the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides, the provisions of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet shall control and be binding upon the Purchaser and the Company.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, the Company may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Company's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Purchaser, provided, however, that unless the Company has obtained the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Company shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer for more than ninety (90) days or forgive any payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such modification which has been agreed to in writing by the Purchaser and which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Company shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 4.04, the difference between (a) such month's principal and one month's interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Company shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances pursuant to Section 4.05. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may not enter into a forbearance agreement or similar arrangement with respect to any Mortgage Loan which runs more than 180 days after the first delinquent Due Date. Any such agreement shall be approved by the Purchaser and, if required, by the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy insurer and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy insurer, if required.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Mortgage Loan becomes subject to a Pass-Through Transfer, the Company (a) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, shall not permit any modification with respect to such Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate and (b) shall not (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to such Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Company, reasonably foreseeable) make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of such Mortgage Loan that would both (i) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (ii) cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” after the startup date under the REMIC Provisions.

Prior to taking any action with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject to a Pass-Through Transfer, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Company will obtain an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the trustee in such Pass-Through Transfer with respect to whether such action could result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code)(either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”), and the Company shall not take any such actions as to which it has been advised that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.

The Company shall not permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in any REMIC. The Company shall not enter into any arrangement by which a REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit a REMIC to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Company shall employ Accepted Servicing Practices, giving due consideration to the Purchaser's reliance on the Company. Unless a different time period is stated in this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have given consent in connection with a particular matter if the Purchaser does not affirmatively grant or deny consent within five (5) Business Days from the date the Purchaser receives a second written request for consent for such matter from the Company as servicer.

The Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by a Subservicer on behalf of the Company provided that the Subservicer is an entity that engages in the business of servicing loans, and in either case shall be authorized to transact business, and licensed to service mortgage loans, in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Subservicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Subservicing Agreement, and in either case shall be a FHLMC or Fannie Mae approved mortgage servicer in good standing, and no event has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage, which would make it unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for lenders imposed by Fannie Mae or for seller/servicers imposed by Fannie Mae or FHLMC, or which would require notification to Fannie Mae or FHLMC. In addition, each Subservicer will obtain and preserve its qualifications to do business as a foreign corporation and its licenses to service mortgage loans, in each jurisdiction in which such qualifications and/or licenses are or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform or cause to be performed its duties under the related Subservicing Agreement. The Company may perform any of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause the Subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Company of the Subservicer shall not release the Company from any of its obligations hereunder and the Company shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of the Subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses of the Subservicer from its own funds, and the Subservicer's fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee. The Company shall notify the Purchaser promptly in writing upon the appointment of any Subservicer.

At the cost and expense of the Company, without any right of reimbursement from the Custodial Account, the Company shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor subservicer meeting the requirements in the preceding paragraph; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Company, at the Company's option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the Company's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 4.03, 4.13, 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01 and if requested to do so by the Purchaser, the Company shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer effective as of the date of termination of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer from the Company's own funds without reimbursement from the Purchaser.

Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Company and the Subservicer or any reference herein to actions taken through the Subservicer or otherwise, the Company shall not be relieved of its obligations to the Purchaser and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Company shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with the Subservicer for indemnification of the Company by the Subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. The Company will indemnify and hold the Purchaser harmless from any loss, liability or expense arising out of its use of a Subservicer to perform any of its servicing duties, responsibilities and obligations hereunder.

Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving the Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the Company alone, and the Purchaser shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of the Purchaser to pay the Subservicer's fees and expenses. For purposes of distributions and advances by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when the Subservicer has received such payment.

Section 4.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the Company will proceed diligently to 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, Accepted Servicing Practices, and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, 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 Company will take special care in ascertaining and estimating annual escrow payments, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable, so that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

In no event will the Company waive its right to any prepayment penalty or premium without the prior written consent of the Purchaser and the Company will use diligent efforts to collect same when due except as otherwise provided in the prepayment penalty provisions provided in the Mortgage Loan Documents.

Section 4.03 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage.

The Company shall use its best efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Company would use in servicing loans for its own account, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and the best interest of the Purchaser, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 4.01. Foreclosure or comparable proceedings shall be initiated within ninety (90) days of default for Mortgaged Properties for which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, subject to state and federal law and regulation. The Company shall use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Purchaser, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Company shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Company through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. The Company shall obtain prior approval of the Purchaser as to repair or restoration expenses in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). The Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings and not less than five (5) days prior to the acceptance or rejection of any offer of reinstatement. The Company shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings or functions; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Company has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector at the Purchaser's expense. Upon completion of the inspection, the Company shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Purchaser shall determine how the Company shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser's sole option, terminate the Company as servicer of any Mortgage Loan which becomes ninety (90) days or greater delinquent in payment of a scheduled Monthly Payment, without payment of any termination fee with respect thereto, provided that the Company shall on the date said termination takes effect be reimbursed for any unreimbursed Monthly Advances of the Company's funds made pursuant to Section 5.03 and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees in each case relating to the Mortgage Loan underlying such delinquent Mortgage Loan notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.05. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof shall apply to said termination and the transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect to such delinquent Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser or its designee.

In the event that a Mortgage Loan becomes part of a REMIC, and becomes REO Property, such property shall be disposed of by the Company, with the consent of the Purchaser as required pursuant to this Agreement, before the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, unless the Company provides to the trustee under such REMIC an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the transaction to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that certificates are outstanding. The Company shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each such REO Property for the certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(E) of the Code, or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC provisions of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such property, the Company shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Company, protect and conserve such property in the same manner and to such an extent as is customary in the locality where such property is located. Additionally, the Company shall perform the tax withholding and reporting related to Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code.

Section 4.04 Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.

The Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds shall be deposited in the Custodial Account within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt, and shall at all times be insured by the FDIC up to the FDIC insurance limits, or must be invested in Permitted Investments for the benefit of the Purchaser. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit B hereto. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and upon the request of any subsequent Purchaser.

The Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis, and retain therein the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or received by it prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto, other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date:

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Company in the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Company and the Company shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05(iv). The Purchaser shall not be responsible for any losses suffered with respect to investment of funds in the Custodial Account.

Section 4.05 Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.

The Company may, from time to time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i) to make payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01;

(ii) to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Company's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made, it being understood that, in the case of such reimbursement, the Company's right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that, where the Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 3.03, the Company's right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such Section and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(iv) to pay to itself as part of its servicing compensation (a) any interest earned on funds in the Custodial Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Remittance Date), and (b) the Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery as to interest with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan;

(v) to pay to itself with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has been repurchased pursuant to Section 3.03 all amounts received thereon and not distributed as of the date on which the related Repurchase Price is determined,

Section 4.06 Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts.

The Company 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. The Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds deposited in each Escrow Account shall at all times be insured in a manner to provide maximum insurance under the insurance limitations of the FDIC, or must be invested in Permitted Investments. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit C. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and upon request to any subsequent purchaser.

The Company shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, 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;

(ii) all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property; and

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

The Company shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set forth or in accordance with Section 4.07. The Company shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Company 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. The Purchaser shall not be responsible for any losses suffered with respect to investment of funds in the Escrow Account.

Section 4.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Company only:

(i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, fire and hazard insurance premiums, condominium assessments and comparable items;

Section 4.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.
 
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of primary mortgage insurance premiums and fire 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 Company in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Company shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Company assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

The Company will maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be terminated only with the approval of the Purchaser, until the LTV of the related Mortgage Loan is reduced to that amount for which Fannie Mae no longer requires such insurance to be maintained, or as required by applicable law or regulation. The Company will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Company shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Company would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Company shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any Private Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Company under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.09 Transfer of Accounts.

The Company may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Eligible Account from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 4.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Company shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC and customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is equal to the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, each Mortgage Loan shall be covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in effect with an insurance carrier acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC, in an amount representing coverage not less than the lesser of (i) the outstanding 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. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Company determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the Fannie Mae Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Company shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Company shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf. The Company shall also maintain on each REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, and, 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 Company 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 Accepted Servicing Practices, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need be required by the Company of the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to this Agreement, the Fannie Mae Guides or such applicable state or federal laws and 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 Company and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount or material change in coverage to the Company. The Company shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent; provided, however, that the Company shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are Qualified Insurers.

Section 4.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.

In the event that the Company shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by a Qualified Insurer 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 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Company shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Purchaser, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and shall use its best efforts to obtain a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Purchaser.

Section 4.12 Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Company shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loan to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loan. The Fidelity Bond shall be in the form of the Financial Institution Bond Form A and shall protect and insure the Company against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement and fraud of such persons. The errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Company against losses arising out of errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such errors and omissions insurance shall also protect and insure the Company against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond or errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Company 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 Guides. Upon request by the Purchaser, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Purchaser. The Company shall notify the Purchaser within five (5) business days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. Upon request by the Purchaser, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with an insurance certificate certifying coverage under this Section 4.12, and will provide an update to such certificate upon request, or upon renewal or material modification of coverage.

Section 4.13 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Purchaser or its designee, or in the event the Purchaser or its designee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the "doing business" or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Company from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Purchaser.

The Company shall notify the Purchaser in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides of each acquisition of REO Property upon such acquisition (and, in any event, shall provide notice of the consummation of any foreclosure sale within three (3) Business Days of the date the Company receives notice of such consummation), together with a copy of the drive by appraisal or brokers price opinion of the Mortgaged Property obtained in connection with such acquisition, and thereafter assume the responsibility for marketing such REO property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Company shall continue to provide certain administrative services to the Purchaser relating to such REO Property as set forth in this Section 4.13. No Servicing Fee shall be assessed or otherwise accrue on any REO Property from and after the date on which it becomes an REO Property.

The Company shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Company, and in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Company 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 monthly thereafter or more frequently as required by the circumstances. The Company shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Company to the Purchaser.

The Company shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within three (3) years after title has been taken to such REO Property. No REO Property shall be marketed for less than the Appraised Value, without the prior consent of the Purchaser. No REO Property shall be sold for less than ninety-five percent (95%) of its Appraised Value, without the prior consent of Purchaser. All requests for reimbursement of Servicing Advances shall be in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides. The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Company at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Company deems to be in the best interests of the Purchaser (subject to the above conditions) only with the prior written consent of the Purchaser. The Company shall provide monthly reports to the Purchaser in reference to the status of the marketing of the REO Properties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser's sole option, terminate the Company as servicer of any such REO Property without payment of any termination fee with respect thereto; provided that the Company shall on the date said termination takes effect be reimbursed for any unreimbursed advances of the Company's funds made pursuant to Section 5.03 and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees in each case relating to the Mortgage Loan underlying such REO Property notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.05. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof shall apply to said termination and the transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect to such REO Property to the Purchaser or its designee. Within five (5) Business Days of any such termination, the Company shall, if necessary convey such property to the Purchaser and shall further provide the Purchaser with the following information regarding the subject REO Property: the related drive by appraisal or brokers price opinion, and copies of any related Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy claims. In addition, within five (5) Business Days, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with the following information and documents regarding the subject REO Property: the related trustee’s deed upon sale and copies of any related hazard insurance claims, or repair bids.

Section 4.14 Notification of Maturity Date.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Mortgagor any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the maturity date if required under applicable law.

It is understood that, by operation of Section 4.04, the remittance on the First Remittance Date with respect to Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant to the related Term Sheet is to include principal collected after the Cut-off Date through the preceding Determination Date plus interest, adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate collected through such Determination Date exclusive of any portion thereof allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, with the adjustments specified in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.

With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the Remittance Date, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus three (3) percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall cover the period commencing with the day following the Business Day such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made to the Purchaser, both inclusive. The payment by the Company of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Company. On each Remittance Date, the Company shall provide a remittance report detailing all amounts being remitted pursuant to this Section 5.01.

Section 5.02 Statements to the Purchaser.

The Company shall furnish to the Purchaser an individual loan accounting report, as of the last Business Day of each month, in the Company's assigned loan number order to document Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual Mortgage Loan basis. With respect to each month, the corresponding individual loan accounting report shall be received by the Purchaser no later than the fifth Business Day of the following month on a disk or tape or other computer-readable format in such format as may be mutually agreed upon by both the Purchaser and the Company, and no later than the fifth Business Day of the following month in hard copy, and shall contain the following:

(i) With respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to principal (including a separate breakdown of any Principal Prepayment, including the date of such prepayment, and any prepayment penalties or premiums, along with a detailed report of interest on principal prepayment amounts remitted in accordance with Section 4.04);

The Company shall prepare and file any and all information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority or to the Purchaser pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for the Purchaser to prepare its federal income tax return as the Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time.

In addition, not more than ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year, the Company shall furnish to each Person who was a Purchaser at any time during such calendar year an annual statement in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal income tax law as to the aggregate of remittances for the applicable portion of such year.

Section 5.03 Monthly Advances by the Company.

Not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Remittance Date, the Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all payments not previously advanced by the Company, whether or not deferred pursuant to Section 4.01, of principal (due after the Cut-off Date) and interest not allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate, which were due on a Mortgage Loan and delinquent at the close of business on the related Determination Date.

The Company's obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, or through the Remittance Date prior to the date on which the Mortgaged Property liquidates (including Insurance Proceeds, proceeds from the sale of REO Property or Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the Mortgage Loan unless the Company deems such advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance. In such event, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser an Officer's Certificate of the Company to the effect that an officer of the Company has reviewed the related Mortgage File and has made the reasonable determination that any additional advances are nonrecoverable.

Section 5.04 Liquidation Reports.

Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Purchaser pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall submit to the Purchaser a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property in a form mutually acceptable to the Company and the Purchaser. The Company shall also provide reports on the status of REO Property containing such information as the Purchaser may reasonably require.

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

Section 6.01 Assumption Agreements.

The Company will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Company shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Company reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, the Company, will enter into an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 6.01, the Company, with the prior consent of the Purchaser and the primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement.

In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the Company. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the amount of the Monthly Payment and the maturity date may not be changed (except pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note). If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Company diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan. The Company shall notify the Purchaser that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Purchaser the original of any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. All fees collected by the Company for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Company may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 6.01, the term "assumption" is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

Section 6.02 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Company of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Company will immediately notify the Purchaser by a certification, which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04 have been or will be so deposited, of a Servicing Officer and shall request execution of any document necessary to satisfy the Mortgage Loan and delivery to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser or its designee. The Purchaser shall no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of such certification and request, release or cause to be released to the Company, the related Mortgage Loan Documents and, upon its receipt of such documents, the Company shall promptly prepare and deliver to the Purchaser the requisite satisfaction or release. No later than five (5) Business Days following its receipt of such satisfaction or release, the Purchaser shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Company the release or satisfaction properly executed by the owner of record of the applicable mortgage or its duly appointed attorney in fact. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account.

In the event the Company satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, the Company, upon written demand, shall remit within two (2) Business Days to the Purchaser the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Company shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance insuring the Company against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loan, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the Purchaser shall, upon request of the Company and delivery to the Purchaser of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser to the Company. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Company to return the related Mortgage documents to the Purchaser when the need therefor by the Company no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Company has delivered to the Purchaser a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Purchaser to the Company.

Section 6.03 Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account (to the extent of interest payments collected on the Mortgage Loans) or to retain from interest payments collected on the Mortgage Loans, the amounts provided for as the Company's Servicing Fee, subject to payment of compensating interest on Principal Prepayments as capped by the Servicing Fee pursuant to Section 5.01(iii). Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 6.01, and late payment charges or otherwise shall be retained by the Company to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Company shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for.

Section 6.04 [Reserved]

Section 6.05 [Reserved]

Section 6.06 Purchaser's Right to Examine the Company Records.

The Purchaser shall have the right to examine and audit upon reasonable notice to the Company, during business hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under applicable circumstances, any and all of the books, records, documentation or other information of the Company, or held by another for the Company or on its behalf or otherwise, which relates to the performance or observance by the Company of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement.

The Company shall provide to the Purchaser and any supervisory agents or examiners representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Purchaser, including but not limited to OTS, FDIC and other similar entities, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in the possession of the Company which may be required by any applicable regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, upon reasonable request, during normal business hours and at the offices of the Company, and in accordance with the FDIC, OTS, or any other similar federal or state regulations, as applicable.

REPORTS TO BE PREPARED BY SERVICER

Section 7.01 Company Shall Provide Information as Reasonably Required.

The Company shall furnish to the Purchaser during the term of this Agreement, such periodic, special or other reports, information or documentation, whether or not provided for herein, as shall be necessary, reasonable or appropriate in respect to the Purchaser, or otherwise in respect to the Mortgage Loans and the performance of the Company under this Agreement, including any reports, information or documentation reasonably required to comply with any regulations regarding any supervisory agents or examiners of the Purchaser all such reports or information to be as provided by and in accordance with such applicable instructions and directions as the Purchaser may reasonably request in relation to this Agreement or the performance of the Company under this Agreement. The Company agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Purchaser, from time to time, may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

In connection with marketing the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser may make available to a prospective purchaser audited financial statements of the Company for the most recently completed two (2) fiscal years for which such statements are available, as well as a Consolidated Statement of Condition at the end of the last two (2) fiscal years covered by any Consolidated Statement of Operations. If it has not already done so, the Company shall furnish promptly to the Purchaser or a prospective purchaser copies of the statements specified above if reasonably requested.

The Company shall make reasonably available to the Purchaser or any prospective Purchaser a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions and to permit any prospective purchaser to inspect the Company’s servicing facilities for the purpose of satisfying such prospective purchaser that the Company has the ability to service the Mortgage Loans as provided in this Agreement.

THE SERVICER

Section 8.01 Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

The Company agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Company to observe and perform its duties, obligations, covenants, and agreements to service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the loss, damage, or misplacement of any documentation delivered to the Company pursuant to Section 2.07 and the Company's failure to perform the obligations set forth in Section 11.10. The Company agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from any assertion based on, grounded upon or resulting from a breach or alleged breach of any of the representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 or 3.02 of this Agreement. The Company shall immediately notify the Purchaser if a claim covered by the indemnification herein is made by a third party against the Company with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the consent of the Purchaser) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, whether or not such claim is settled prior to judgment, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or the Purchaser in respect of such claim. The Company shall follow any written instructions received from the Purchaser in connection with such claim. The Purchaser shall promptly reimburse the Company for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the two preceding sentences except when the claim relates to the failure of the Company to service and administer the Mortgages in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the breach of representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 or 3.02, or the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Company. The provisions of this Section 8.01 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Company.

The Company will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization except as permitted herein, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Any Person into which the Company may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Company shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Company whether or not related to loan servicing, shall be the successor of the Company hereunder, 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; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution (i) having a GAAP net worth of not less than $25,000,000, (ii) the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC, SAIF and/or BIF, and which is a HUD-approved mortgagee whose primary business is in origination and servicing of first lien mortgage loans, and (iii) who is a Fannie Mae or FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing.

Section 8.03 Limitation on Liability of the Company and Others.

Neither the Company nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Company shall be under any liability to the Purchaser 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 made in good faith; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Company or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in strict compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Company and any officer, employee or agent of the Company may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by the Purchaser respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Company shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its reasonable opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Company may, with the consent of the Purchaser, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Purchaser will be liable, and the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Purchaser upon written demand.

Section 8.04 Company Not to Assign or Resign.

The Company shall not assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Company and the Purchaser or upon the determination that its servicing duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Company. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Company shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Purchaser. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Company's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 11.01.

Section 8.05 No Transfer of Servicing.

With respect to the retention of the Company to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Company acknowledges that the Purchaser has acted in reliance upon the Company's independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plan, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section, the Company shall not either assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Purchaser, which consent shall be granted or withheld in the Purchaser's sole discretion, unless the Company meets the requirements of the last sentence of Section 8.02 herein after any such disposition.

Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 8.05, in the event that the Company either shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof without (i) satisfying the requirements set forth herein or (ii) the prior written consent of the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Company (other than with respect to accrued but unpaid Servicing Fees and Servicing Advances remaining unpaid) or any third party.

ARTICLE IX

Section 9.01 Events of Default.

In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the Company shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:

(i) any failure by the Company to remit to the Purchaser any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of one (1) Business Day after receipt of written notice to the Company; or

(ii) failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Company by the Purchaser; or

(v) the Company 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; or

(vi) the Company ceases to be approved by either Fannie Mae or FHLMC as a mortgage loan seller or servicer for more than thirty (30) days; or

(vii) the Company attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder or the Company attempts, without the consent of the Purchaser, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets (except as expressly permitted hereunder) or to assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder (except as expressly permitted hereunder) or to delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof; or

(viii) the Company ceases to be (a) licensed to service first lien residential mortgage loans in any jurisdiction in which a Mortgaged Property is located and such licensing is required, and (b) qualified to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is currently so qualified, but only to the extent such non-qualification materially and adversely affects the Company's ability to perform its obligations hereunder; or

(ix) the Company fails to meet the eligibility criteria set forth in the last sentence of Section 8.02.

Then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Purchaser, by notice in writing to the Company (except in the case of an Event of Default under clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) above, in which case, automatically and without notice) the Company may, in addition to whatever rights the Purchaser may have under Sections 3.03 and 8.01 and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Company for the same. On or after the receipt by the Company of such written notice (or, in the case of an Event of Default under clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) above, in which case, automatically and without notice), all authority and power of the Company under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 11.01. Upon written request from the Purchaser, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor's possession all Mortgage Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Company's sole expense. The Company agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting the termination of the Company's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Company to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.

Section 9.02 Waiver of Defaults.

The Purchaser may waive only by written notice any default by the Company in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default 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 thereon except to the extent expressly so waived in writing.

Prior to termination of the Company's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 4.03, 4.13, 8.04, 9.01, 10.01 (ii) or (iii), the Purchaser shall (i) succeed to and assume all of the Company's responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor having the characteristics set forth in Section 8.02 hereof and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Company under this Agreement prior to the termination of the Company's responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as the Purchaser and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Company's duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Sections, the Company shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of the Company pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section and shall in no event relieve the Company of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.02 and the remedies available to the Purchaser under Sections 3.03 and 8.01, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 and 8.01 shall be applicable to the Company notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Company, or the termination of this Agreement.

Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the Purchaser an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement.

The Company shall promptly deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account and the Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Company shall account for all funds. The Company shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things all as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company. The successor shall make arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the Company for Nonrecoverable Advances which the successor retains hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.

Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the party who obtained such successor shall notify by mail the other party of such appointment.

(p)  MERS.  The Company is a member of MERS in good standing, and will comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the MERS Mortgage Loans for as long as such Mortgage Loans are registered with MERS;
 
Section 3.02
Representations and Warranties Regarding Individual Mortgage Loans.
 
As to each Mortgage Loan, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that as of the related Closing Date:
 
(a)  Mortgage Loans as Described.  The information set forth in each Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct in all material respects;
 
(b)  Payments Current.  All payments required to be made up to the related Closing Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent at any time in the twelve months prior to the related Closing Date. The first Monthly Payment shall be made with respect to the Mortgage Loan on its Due Date or within the grace period, all in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note;
 
(c)  No Outstanding Charges.  There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgages, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. The Company has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is greater, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest;
 
(d)  Original Terms Unmodified.  The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser and which has been delivered to the Custodian. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and its terms are reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage Loan File delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;
 
(e)  No Defenses.  The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated;
 
(f)  Hazard Insurance.  Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all buildings or other improvements 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 Section 4.10. If upon origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property was in an area identified in the Federal Register 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 Flood Insurance Administration is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of Section 4.10. All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Company and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s or any Subservicer’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, unlawful commission, unlawful kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Company;
 
(g)  Compliance with Applicable Laws.  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 Mortgage Loan have been complied with, and the Company shall maintain in its possession, available for the Purchaser’s inspection, and shall deliver to the Purchaser upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements;
 
(h)  No Satisfaction of Mortgage.  The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or 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 release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Company has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Company waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;
 
(i)  Location and Type of Mortgaged Property.  The Mortgaged Property is a fee simple property located in the state identified in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or an individual condominium unit in a low-rise condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development, provided, however, that any condominium project or planned unit development shall conform with the Company’s Underwriting Guidelines regarding such dwellings, and no residence or dwelling is a mobile home or a manufactured dwelling. No portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes;
 
(j)  Valid First Lien.  The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings and improvements on the Mortgaged Property, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:
 
(1)  the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;
 
(2)  covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (i) referred to or to otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan or (ii) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and
 
(3)  other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.
 
Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and the Company has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secured debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage;
 
(k)  Validity of Mortgage Documents.  The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other related agreement, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties. No fraud was committed by the Company, or to the Company's knowledge by any other person including the Mortgagor, in connection with the origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan.  The Company has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Servicing File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein;
 
(l)  Full Disbursement of Proceeds.  The Mortgage Loan has been closed and the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances 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 were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
 
(m)  Ownership.  The Company is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and the Company has good and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan therein to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement;
 
(n)  Doing Business.  All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (1) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (2) organized under the laws of such state, or (3) qualified to do business in such state, or (4) federal savings and loan associations or national banks having principal offices in such state, or (5) not doing business in such state;
 
(o)  LTV, PMI Policy. Any Mortgage Loan with an LTV over 80% has a PMI Policy insuring, as to payment defaults, the excess LTV over 71% (or such other percentage as stated in the related Confirmation) of the Appraised Value until the LTV of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%. All provisions of such PMI Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the PMI Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith; provided, that, with respect to LPMI Loans, the Company is obligated thereunder to maintain the LPMI Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith.  The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any insurance premium excluded any premium for the LPMI Policy;
 
(p)  Title Insurance.  The Mortgage Loan is covered by either (i) an attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title the form and substance of which is acceptable to mortgage lending institutions making mortgage loans in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located or (ii) an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy of insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Company, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan (or to the extent that a Mortgage Note provides for negative amortization, the maximum amount of negative amortization in accordance with the Mortgage), 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 Monthly Payment, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of paragraph (j) of this Section 3.02. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Company is the sole insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the Mortgage, including the Company, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Company;
 
(q)  No Defaults.  There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither the Company nor its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration;
 
(r)  No Mechanics’ Liens.  There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage;
 
(s)  Location of Improvements; No Encroachments.  All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property.

(t)  Origination; Payment Terms.  The Mortgage Loan was originated by either i) the Company, which is a FNMA-approved, FHLMC-approved and HUD-approved mortgage banker, or ii) an entity that is a FNMA-approved, FHLMC-approved and HUD-approved mortgage banker, or a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a Federal or state authority.  The interest rate on the related Mortgage Note is adjusted annually in the case of Treasury Rate Mortgage Loans and LIBOR Mortgage Loans on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date to equal the Index plus the Gross Margin, subject to the Initial Rate Cap, Periodic Rate Cap and the Lifetime Mortgage Interest Rate Cap as set forth in the Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Interest Rate for a 5/1 ARM Mortgage Loan and a 3/1 ARM Mortgage Loan is adjusted annually commencing from and after the sixtieth Monthly Payment and the thirty-sixth Monthly Payment, respectively, in the same manner as a Treasury Rate Mortgage Loan and LIBOR Mortgage Loan, provided, however, that the Periodic Rate Cap does not apply to the initial Interest Rate Adjustment Date for such 5/1 ARM Mortgage Loan (the Initial Rate Cap does apply). The Mortgage Note is payable each month in monthly installments of principal and interest, with interest in arrears, and requires Monthly Payments sufficient to amortize the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan over a term of no more than 30 years. Each Convertible Mortgage Loan contains a provision whereby the Mortgagor is permitted to convert the Mortgage Loan to a fixed-rate mortgage loan at any time between the first and fifth anniversary of the origination of the Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan has a provision for negative amortization;
 
(u)  Customary Provisions.  The Mortgage contains 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, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage;
 
(v)  Conformance with Underwriting Guidelines.  The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Company’s Underwriting Guidelines in effect at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated.;

The Mortgagor represented at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan that the Mortgagor would occupy the Mortgaged Property as the Mortgagor’s primary residence;

(z)  Acceptable Investment.  The Company has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan;
 
(aa)  Delivery of Mortgage Documents.  The Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents required to be delivered for the Mortgage Loan by the Company under this Agreement as set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto have been delivered to the Custodian.

(bb)  Condominiums/Planned Unit Developments.  If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or a planned unit development (other than a de minimus planned unit development) such condominium or planned unit development project meets Company’s Underwriting Guidelines with respect to such condominium or planned unit development;

(ee)  No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests.  The Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by the Company, the Mortgagor or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it contain any other similar provisions currently in effect 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;
 
(ff)  Consolidation of Future Advances.  Any future advances made prior to the related Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;
 
(gg)  Mortgaged Property Undamaged.  There is no proceeding pending or, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended; and

In connection with the placement of any such insurance, no commission, fee, or other compensation has been or will be received by the Company or any designee of the Company or any corporation in which the Company or any officer, director, or employee had a financial interest at the time of placement of such insurance;

Section 3.03
Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties.
 
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and the delivery of the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Custodian and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination or failure to examine any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by either the Company or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser, or which materially and adversely affects the interests of Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan (in the case of any of the foregoing, a “Breach”), the party discovering such Breach shall give prompt written notice to the other.
 
With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to the best of the Company’s knowledge, if it is discovered by the Company or the Purchaser 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 of the Purchaser (or which materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), notwithstanding the Company’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty.
 
Within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company of any Breach of a representation or warranty, the Company shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such Breach in all material respects and, if such Breach cannot be cured, the Company shall, at the Purchaser’s option and subject to Section 3.06, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price. In the event that a Breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01, and such Breach cannot be cured within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company of such Breach, all of the Mortgage Loans shall, at the Purchaser’s option and subject to Section 3.06, be repurchased by the Company at the Repurchase Price. However, if the Breach shall involve a representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.02 and the Company discovers or receives notice of any such Breach within 120 days of the related Closing Date, the Company shall, at the Purchaser’s option and provided that the Company has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase the Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, provided that any such substitution shall be effected not later than 120 days after the related Closing Date. If the Company has no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, it shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03 shall be accomplished by deposit in the Custodial Account of the amount of the Repurchase Price for distribution to Purchaser on the next scheduled Remittance Date, after deducting therefrom any amount received in respect of such repurchased Mortgage Loan or Loans and being held in the Custodial Account for future distribution.
 
At the time of repurchase or substitution, the Purchaser and the Company shall arrange for the reassignment of the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Company and the delivery to the Company of any documents held by the Custodian relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan. In the event of a repurchase or substitution, the Company shall, simultaneously with such reassignment, give written notice to the Purchaser that such repurchase or substitution has taken place, amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the Deleted Mortgage Loan from this Agreement, and, in the case of substitution, identify a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the addition of such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan to this Agreement. In connection with any such substitution, the Company shall be deemed to have made as to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement except that all such representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed made as of the date of such substitution. The Company shall effect such substitution by delivering to the Custodian for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the documents required by Section 2.03, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.03. No substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account the Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall be retained by the Company. For the month of substitution, distributions to Purchaser shall include the Monthly Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and the Company shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by the Company in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.
 
For any month in which the Company substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, the Company shall determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of scheduled principal payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortfall shall be distributed by the Company in the month of substitution pursuant to Section 5.01. Accordingly, on the date of such substitution, the Company shall deposit from its own funds into the Custodial Account an amount equal to the amount of such shortfall.
 
Any cause of action against the Company relating to or arising out of the Breach of any representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such Breach by the Purchaser or notice thereof by the Company to the Purchaser, (ii) failure by the Company to cure such Breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Company by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.
 
Section 3.04
Indemnification.
 
The Company agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related any assertion based on, grounded upon resulting from a Breach of any of the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 3.04, the Purchaser may pursue any and all remedies otherwise available at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, the right to seek damages.  The provisions of this Section 3.04 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
 
It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Company set forth in Sections 3.03 and 3.04 to cure, substitute for or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the Purchaser constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a Breach of the foregoing representations and warranties.
 
 
Section 3.05
Repurchase Upon Conversion.

In the event the Mortgagor under any Convertible Mortgage Loan elects to convert said Mortgage Loan to a fixed rate mortgage loan, as provided in the related Mortgage Note, then the Company shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loan in the month the conversion takes place and in the manner prescribed in Section 3.04 at the Repurchase Price.
 
Section 3.06
Restrictions and Requirements Applicable in the Event
that a Mortgage Loan is Acquired by a REMIC
 
In the event that any Mortgage Loan is held by a REMIC, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the following provisions shall be applicable to such Mortgage Loan:
 
(A)
Repurchase of Mortgage Loans.
 
With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or as to which no default is imminent, no repurchase or substitution pursuant to Subsection 3.03, 3.05, 3.07 or 7.02 shall be made, unless, if so required by the applicable REMIC Documents the Company has obtained an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such repurchase will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of such REMIC (as defined in Section 860F of the Code) or otherwise subject the REMIC to tax, or (ii) cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time.
 
(B)
General Servicing Obligations.
 
The Company shall sell any REO Property within two years after its acquisition by the REMIC unless (i) the Company applies for an extension of such two-year period from the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to the REMIC Provisions and Code Section 856(e)(3), in which event such REO Property shall be sold within the applicable extension period, or (ii) the Company obtains for the Purchaser an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Purchaser and the Company, to the effect that the holding by the REMIC of such REO Property subsequent to such two year period will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or comparable provisions of relevant state laws at any time. The Company shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Purchaser solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) or result in the receipt by the 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 Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Company shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Company protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Purchaser, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Company deems to be in the best interest of the Company and the Purchaser for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property; provided, however, that any rent received or accrued with respect to such REO Property qualifies as “rents from real property” as defined in Section 856(d) of the Code.
 
(C)
Additional Covenants.
 
In addition to the provision set forth in this Section 3.06, if a REMIC election is made with respect to the arrangement under which any of the Mortgage Loans or REO Properties are held, then, with respect to such Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties, and notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall not take any action, cause the REMIC 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 the REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on “contributions” to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the Company has 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 REMIC status or result in the imposition of any such tax.
 
If a REMIC election is made with respect to the arrangement under which any Mortgage Loans or REO Properties are held, the Company shall amend this Agreement such that it will meet all Rating Agency requirements.
 
Section 3.07
Review of Mortgage Loans
 
From the related Closing Date until the date 15 days after the related Closing Date, the Purchaser shall have the right to review the Mortgage Files and obtain BPOs and other property evaluations on the Mortgaged Properties relating to the Mortgage Loans purchased on the related Closing Date, with the results of such BPO or property evaluation reviews to be communicated to the Company for a period up to 15 days after the related Closing Date.  In addition, the Purchaser shall have the right to reject any Mortgage Loan which in the Purchaser’s sole determination (i) fails to conform to the Underwriting Guidelines, (ii) the value of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to any BPO or property evaluation varies by more than plus or minus 15% from the lesser of (A) the original appraised value of the Mortgage Property or (B) the purchase price of the Mortgaged Property as of the date of origination (a “Value Issue”), (iii) the Mortgage Loan is underwritten without verification of the Borrower’s income and assets and there is no credit report and credit score or (iv) the Purchaser deems the Mortgage Loan not to be an acceptable credit risk. The Company shall repurchase the rejected Mortgage Loan in the manner prescribed in Section 3.03 upon receipt of notice from the Purchaser of the rejection of such Mortgage Loan; provided, that, in the event that the Purchaser rejects a Mortgage Loan due to a Value Issue, the Company may submit to the Purchaser an additional property evaluation for purposes of demonstrating that the Mortgage Loan does not have a Value Issue.  If the Purchaser and the Company fail to resolve such Value Issue within two weeks of the Purchaser presenting such Value Issue to the Company, then Company shall have the right to promptly (a) substitute such Mortgage Loan with a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan meeting all the terms hereof, or (b) repurchase such Mortgage Loan in the manner prescribed in Section 3.03.  Any rejected Mortgage Loan shall be removed from the terms of this Agreement.  The Company shall make available all files required by Purchaser in order to complete its review, including capturing all CRA/HMDA required data fields.  Any review performed by the Purchaser prior to the related Closing Date does not limit the Purchaser’s rights or the Company’s obligations under this section. To the extent that the Purchaser’s review discloses that the Mortgage Loans do not conform to the Underwriting Guidelines or the terms set forth in the Purchaser Price and Terms Letter, the Purchaser may in its sole discretion increase its due diligence review and obtain additional BPO’s or other property evaluations.  The additional review may be for any reason including but not limited to credit quality, property valuations, and data integrity.

Company to Act as Servicer.
 
The Company shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Company may deem necessary or desirable, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices.
 
 
Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Company may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Company’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Purchasers, provided, however, that the Company shall not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan and (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Company, imminent and the Company has obtained the prior written consent of the Purchaser) the Company shall not permit any modification of any material term of any Mortgage Loan including any modifications that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate change the Index, Lifetime Mortgage Interest Rate Cap, Initial Rate Cap or Gross Margin of any Mortgage Loan, defer or forgive the payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such modification which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Company shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 5.03, the difference between (a) such month’s principal and one month’s interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Company shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances made pursuant to Section 5.03. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Purchasers, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. If reasonably required by the Company, the Purchaser shall furnish the Company with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Company to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.
 
In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Company shall employ procedures (including collection procedures) and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account, giving due consideration to Accepted Servicing Practices where such practices do not conflict with the requirements of this Agreement, and the Purchaser’s reliance on the Company.
 
The Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by the Subservicer on behalf of the Company provided that the Subservicer is a Fannie Mae-approved lender or a Freddie Mac seller/servicer in good standing, and no event has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage, which would make it unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for lenders imposed by Fannie Mae or for seller/servicers imposed by Freddie Mac, or which would require notification to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Company may perform any of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause the Subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Company of the Subservicer shall not release the Company from any of its obligations hereunder and the Company shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of the Subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses of the Subservicer from its own funds, and the Subservicer’s fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee.
 
At the cost and expense of the Company, without any right of reimbursement from the Custodial Account, the Company shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor Subservicer meeting the requirements in the preceding paragraph, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Company, at the Company’s option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the Company’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 9.04, 10.01 or 11.02, and if requested to do so by the Purchaser, the Company shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer as soon as is reasonably possible. The Company shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer from the Company’s own funds without reimbursement from the Purchaser.
 
Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Company and the Subservicer or any reference herein to actions taken through the Subservicer or otherwise, the Company shall not be relieved of its obligations to the Purchaser and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Company shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with the Subservicer for indemnification of the Company by the Subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
 
Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving the Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and Company alone, and the Purchaser shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of Purchaser to pay the Subservicer’s fees and expenses. For purposes of distributions and advances by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when the Subservicer has received such payment.
 
Section 4.02
Liquidation of Mortgage Loans.
 
In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan and not postponed pursuant to Section 4.01 is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Company shall take such action as (1) the Company would take under similar circumstances with respect to a similar mortgage loan held for its own account for investment, (2) shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, (3) the Company shall determine prudently to be in the best interest of Purchaser, and (4) is consistent with any related PMI Policy. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not postponed pursuant to Section 4.01 and remains delinquent for a period of 90 days or any other default continues for a period of 90 days beyond the expiration of any grace or cure period, the Company shall commence foreclosure proceedings, provided that, prior to commencing foreclosure proceedings, the Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the Company’s intention to do so, and the Company shall not commence foreclosure proceedings if the Purchaser objects to such action within 10 Business Days of receiving such notice. In the event the Purchaser objects to such foreclosure action, the Company shall not be required to make Monthly Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 5.03, and the Company’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances shall terminate on the 90th day referred to above.  In such connection, the Company shall from its own funds make all necessary and proper Servicing Advances, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration or preservation of any Mortgaged Property, unless it shall determine (a) that such preservation, restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and (b) that such expenses will be recoverable by it either through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05) or through Insurance Proceeds (respecting which it shall have similar priority).
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Company has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property to be conducted by a qualified inspector. Upon completion of the inspection, the Company shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental inspection.
 
After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Purchaser shall determine how the Company shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property. In the event (a) the environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes and (b) the Purchaser directs the Company to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall be reimbursed for all costs associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental clean up costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse the Company, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof. In the event the Purchaser directs the Company not to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof.
 
Section 4.03
Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.
 
Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Company shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable and shall take special care in ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property, to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.
 
Section 4.04
Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Account.
 
The Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled “Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. in trust for EMC Mortgage Corporation, as purchaser of Residential Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans and various Mortgagors”. The Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository acceptable to the Purchaser. Any funds deposited in the Custodial Account shall at all times be fully insured to the full extent permitted under applicable law.  Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto, in the case of an account established with the Company, or by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit D-2 hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than the Company. A copy of such certification or letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser and, upon request, to any subsequent Purchaser.
 
The Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account within two Business Days of receipt, and retain therein, the following collections received by the Company and payments made by the Company after the related Cut-off Date, (other than payments of principal and interest due on or before the related Cut-off Date, or received by the Company prior to the related Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto or with respect to each LPMI Loan, in the amount of the LPMI Fee):
 
(i)  all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans, including all Principal Prepayments;
 
(ii)  all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate;
 
(iii)  all Liquidation Proceeds;
 
(iv)  all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 4.10, Section 4.11, Section 4.14 and Section 4.15;
 
(v)  all Condemnation Proceeds which are not applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Section 4.14;
 
(vi)  any amount required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.01, 4.09, 5.03, 6.01 or 6.02;
 
(vii)  any amounts payable in connection with the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03, 3.05 or 3.07 and all amounts required to be deposited by the Company in connection with a shortfall in principal amount of any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03;
 
(viii)  with respect to each Principal Prepayment in full or in part, the Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount, if any, for the month of distribution. Such deposit shall be made from the Company’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor up to a maximum amount per month of the Servicing Fee actually received for such month for the Mortgage Loans;
 
(ix)  any amounts required to be deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 4.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy; and
 
(x)  any amounts received with respect to or related to any REO Property and all REO Disposition Proceeds pursuant to Section 4.16.
 
The foregoing requirements for deposit into the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Company into the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Company and the Company shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05.
 
Section 4.05
Permitted Withdrawals From Custodial Account.
 
The Company shall, from time to time, withdraw funds from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:
 
(i)  to make payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01;
 
(ii)  to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances of the Company’s funds made pursuant to Section 5.03, the Company’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Company’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of Purchaser, except that, where the Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03, 3.05, 3.07 or 6.02, the Company’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such sections and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;
 
(iii)  to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, and for any unpaid Servicing Fees, the Company’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by the Company from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Company’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of Purchaser except where the Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03, 3.05, 3.07 or 6.02, in which case the Company’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchasers of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such sections and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchasers with respect to such Mortgage Loan;
 
(iv)  to pay itself interest on funds deposited in the Custodial Account;
 
(v)  to reimburse itself for expenses incurred and reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 9.01;

(vii)  to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement; and
 
(viii)  to withdraw funds deposited in error.
 
In the event that the Custodial Account is interest bearing, on each Remittance Date, the Company shall withdraw all funds from the Custodial Account except for those amounts which, pursuant to Section 5.01, the Company is not obligated to remit on such Remittance Date. The Company may use such withdrawn funds only for the purposes described in this Section 4.05.
 
Section 4.06
Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Account.
 
The Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled, “Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., in trust for the EMC Mortgage Corporation, as purchaser of Residential Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans and various Mortgagors”. The Escrow Accounts shall be established with a Qualified Depository, in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit E-1 hereto, in the case of an account established with the Company, or by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit E-2 hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than the Company. A copy of such certification shall be furnished to the Purchaser and, upon request, to any subsequent Purchaser.
 
The Company shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts 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 amounts representing Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property.
 
The Company shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth in Section 4.07. The Company shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution, other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor. To the extent required by law, the Company shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account may be non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.
 
Section 4.07
Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.
 
Withdrawals from the Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by the Company only:
 
(i)  to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, mortgage insurance premiums, condominium charges, fire and hazard insurance premiums or other items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage;
 
(ii)  to reimburse the Company for any Servicing Advances made by the Company pursuant to Section 4.08 with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;
 
(iii)  to refund to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan;
 
(iv)  for transfer to the Custodial Account and application to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note;
 
(v)  for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 4.14;
 
(vi)  to pay to the Company, or any Mortgagor to the extent required by law, 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; and

Section 4.08
Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.
 
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of PMI Policy premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Company in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Company shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Company assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payment of all such charges irrespective of each Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments, and the Company shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.
 
Section 4.09
Protection of Accounts.
 
The Company may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time. Upon any such transfer, the Company shall promptly notify the Purchaser and deliver to the Purchaser a Custodial Account Certification or Escrow Account Certification (as applicable) in the form of Exhibit D-1 or E-1 to this agreement.
 
The Company shall bear any expenses, losses or damages sustained by the Purchaser because the Custodial Account and/or the Escrow Account are not demand deposit accounts.
 
Amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account may at the option of the Company be invested in Eligible Investments; provided that in the event that amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account exceed the amount fully insured by the FDIC (the “Insured Amount”) the Company shall be obligated to invest the excess amount over the Insured Amount in Eligible Investments on the same Business Day as such excess amount becomes present in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account. Any such Eligible Investment shall mature no later than the Determination Date next following the date of such Eligible Investment, provided, however, that if such Eligible Investment is an obligation of a Qualified Depository (other than the Company) that maintains the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account, then such Eligible Investment may mature on such Remittance Date. Any such Eligible Investment shall be made in the name of the Company in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser. All income on or gain realized from any such Eligible Investment shall be for the benefit of the Company and may be withdrawn at any time by the Company. Any losses incurred in respect of any such investment shall be deposited in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account, by the Company out of its own funds immediately as realized.
 
Section 4.10
Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.
 
The Company shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard insurance such that all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer rated A:VI or better in the current Best’s Key Rating Guide (“Best’s”) against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the replacement value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor or the loss payee from becoming a co-insurer.
 
If a Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier rated A:VI or better in Best’s in an amount representing coverage equal to the lesser of (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis (or the unpaid balance of the mortgage if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured) and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Company determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the Fannie Mae Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Company shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Company shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf.
 
If a Mortgage is secured by a unit in a condominium project, the Company shall verify that the coverage required of the owner’s association, including hazard, flood, liability, and fidelity coverage, is being maintained in accordance with then current Fannie Mae requirements, and secure from the owner’s association its agreement to notify the Company promptly of any change in the insurance coverage or of any condemnation or casualty loss that may have a material effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property as security.
 
The Company shall cause to be maintained on each Mortgaged Property earthquake or such other or additional insurance as may be required pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance, or pursuant to the requirements of any private mortgage guaranty insurer, or as may be required to conform with Accepted Servicing Practices.
 
In the event that any Purchaser or the Company shall determine that the Mortgaged Property should be insured against loss or damage by hazards and risks not covered by the insurance required to be maintained by the Mortgagor pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, the Company shall communicate and consult with the Mortgagor with respect to the need for such insurance and bring to the Mortgagor’s attention the desirability of protection of the Mortgaged Property.
 
All policies required hereunder shall name the Company as loss payee and shall be endorsed with standard or union mortgagee clauses, without contribution, which shall provide for at least 30 days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage.
 
The Company shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Company shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are rated A:VI or better in Best’s and are licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The Company shall determine that such policies provide sufficient risk coverage and amounts, that they insure the property owner, and that they properly describe the property address. The Company shall furnish to the Mortgagor a formal notice of expiration of any such insurance in sufficient time for the Mortgagor to arrange for renewal coverage by the expiration date.
 
Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Company under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor, in accordance with the Company’s normal servicing procedures as specified in Section 4.14) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.
 
Section 4.11
Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance.
 
In the event that the Company shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against losses arising from fire and hazards covered under extended coverage on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10. Any amounts collected by the Company under any such policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, the Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account at the time of such loss the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, such amount to deposited from the Company’s funds, without reimbursement therefor. Upon request of any Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days’ prior written notice to such Purchaser.
 
Section 4.12
Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.
 
The Company shall maintain with responsible companies, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage Loans (“Company Employees”). Any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Company against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzle­ment, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such Company Employees. Such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy also shall protect and insure the Company against losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall diminish or relieve the Company from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.  Upon the request of any Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certified true copy of such fidelity bond and insurance policy and a statement from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond and insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser.
 
Section 4.13
Inspections.
 
The Company shall inspect the Mortgaged Property as often as deemed necessary by the Company to assure itself that the value of the Mortgaged Property is being preserved. In addition, if any Mortgage Loan is more than 60 days delinquent, the Company immediately shall inspect the Mortgaged Property and shall conduct subsequent inspections in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices or as may be required by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer. The Company shall keep a written report of each such inspection.
 
Section 4.14
Restoration of Mortgaged Property.
 
The Company need not obtain the approval of the Purchaser prior to releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. At a minimum, the Company shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds:
 
(i)  the Company shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect thereto;
 
(ii)  the Company shall take all steps necessary to preserve the priority of the lien of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to requiring waivers with respect to mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens;
 
(iii)  the Company shall verify that the Mortgage Loan is not in default; and
 
(iv)  pending repairs or restoration, the Company shall place the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in the Custodial Account.
 
If the Purchaser is named as an additional loss payee, the Company is hereby empowered to endorse any loss draft issued in respect of such a claim in the name of the Purchaser.
 
Section 4.15
Maintenance of PMI and LPMI Policy; Claims.
 
(a) With respect to each Mortgage Loan with a LTV in excess of 95%, the Company shall:
 
(i)  with respect to Mortgage Loans which are not LPMI Loans, in accordance with state and federal laws and without any cost to the Purchaser, maintain or cause the Mortgagor to maintain in full force and effect a PMI Policy with a minimum of 35% coverage insuring that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of 68% (or such other percentage as stated in the related Acknowledgment Agreement) of value, and shall pay or shall cause the Mortgagor to pay the premium thereon on a timely basis, until the LTV of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%. In the event that such PMI Policy shall be terminated, the Company shall obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated PMI Policy, at substantially the same fee level. If the insurer shall cease to be a Qualified Insurer, the Company shall determine whether recoveries under the PMI Policy are jeopardized for reasons related to the financial condition of such insurer, it being understood that the Company shall in no event have any responsibility or liability for any failure to recover under the PMI Policy for such reason.  If the Company determines that recoveries are so jeopardized, it shall notify the Purchaser and the Mortgagor, if required, and obtain from another Qualified Insurer a replacement insurance policy. The Company shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any applicable PMI Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Company would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 4.01, the Company shall promptly notify the insurer under the related PMI Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under such PMI Policy. If such PMI Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall obtain a replacement PMI Policy as provided above.
 
 (ii) with respect to LPMI Loans, maintain in full force and effect an LPMI Policy insuring that portion of the Mortgage Loan with a minimum of 35% coverage insuring that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of 68% (or such other percentage as stated in the related Acknowledgment Agreement) of value, and from time to time, withdraw the LPMI Fee with respect to such LPMI Loan from the Custodial Account in order to pay the premium thereon on a timely basis, until the LTV of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%. In the event that the interest payments made with respect to any LPMI Loan are less than the LPMI Fee, the Company shall advance from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall in the LPMI Fee, in payment of the premium on the related LPMI Policy.  Any such advance shall be a Servicing Advance subject to reimbursement pursuant to the provisions on Section 2.05. In the event that such LPMI Policy shall be terminated, the Company shall obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated LPMI Policy, at substantially the same fee level. If the insurer shall cease to be a Qualified Insurer, the Company shall determine whether recoveries under the LPMI Policy are jeopardized for reasons related to the financial condition of such insurer, it being understood that the Company shall in no event have any responsibility or liability for any failure to recover under the LPMI Policy for such reason.  If the Company determines that recoveries are so jeopardized, it shall notify the Purchaser and the Mortgagor, if required, and obtain from another Qualified Insurer a replacement insurance policy.  The Company shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any applicable LPMI Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Company would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Company shall promptly notify the insurer under the related LPMI Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such LPMI Policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under such PMI Policy. If such LPMI Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall obtain a replacement LPMI Policy as provided above.
 
(b)           In connection with its activities as servicer, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Company under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.
 
(c)           Purchaser, in its sole discretion, at any time, may (i) either obtain an additional PMI Policy on any Mortgage Loan which already has a PMI Policy in place, or (ii) obtain a PMI Policy for any Mortgage Loan which does not already have a PMI Policy in place.  In any event, the Company agrees to administer such PMI Policies in accordance with the Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement.
 
Section 4.16
Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.
 
In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Purchaser, or in the event the Purchaser is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Company from any attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. The Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the Purchaser.
 
The Company shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Purchaser solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The Company, either itself or through an agent selected by the Company, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Company shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than one year, except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as the Company deems to be in the best interest of the Purchaser.
 
The Company shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless (i) (A) a REMIC election has not been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property are held, and (ii) the Company determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Purchaser to such effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a period longer than one year is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property the Company shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property.
 
The Company shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount required above.
 
The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Company at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Company deems to be in the best interests of the Purchaser. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. As soon as practical thereafter the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Company shall reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees and unreimbursed advances made pursuant to Section 5.03, and on the Remittance Date immediately following the Principal Prepayment Period in which such sale proceeds are received the net cash proceeds of such sale remaining in the Custodial Account shall be distributed to the Purchaser.
 
The Company shall withdraw the Custodial Account funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 4.10 and the fees of any managing agent of the Company, a Subservicer, or the Company itself. The REO management fee shall be an amount that is reasonable and customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located. The Company shall make monthly distributions on each Remittance Date to the Purchasers of the net cash flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the revenues from such REO Property net of the expenses described in this Section 4.16 and of any reserves reasonably required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such expenses).
 
Section 4.17
Real Estate Owned Reports.
 
Together with the statement furnished pursuant to Section 5.02, the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser on or before the Remittance Date each month a statement with respect to any REO Property covering the operation of such REO Property for the previous month and the Company’s efforts in connection with the sale of such REO Property and any rental of such REO Property incidental to the sale thereof for the previous month. That statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Purchaser shall reasonably request.

Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonments of Mortgaged Property.
 
Following the foreclosure sale or abandonment of any Mortgaged Property, the Company shall report such foreclosure or abandonment as required pursuant to Section 6050J of the Code.
 
Section 4.20
Notification of Adjustments.
 
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date and shall adjust the Monthly Payment on the related Payment Adjustment Date in compliance with the requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. If, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note, another index is selected for determining the Mortgage Interest Rate, the same index will be used with respect to each Mortgage Note which requires a new index to be selected, provided that such selection does not conflict with the terms of the related Mortgage Note.  The Company shall execute and deliver any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and the Monthly Payment adjustments.  The Company shall promptly upon written request thereof, deliver to the Purchaser such notifications and any additional applicable data regarding such adjustments and the methods used to calculate and implement such adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Company, or the Purchaser that the Company has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate or a Monthly Payment pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the Company shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss caused the Purchaser thereby.

PAYMENTS TO PURCHASER
 
Section 5.01
Remittances.
 
On each Remittance Date the Company shall remit by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Purchaser (a) all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the Determination Date (net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05), plus (b) all amounts, if any, which the Company is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 5.03, minus (c) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments received after the applicable Principal Prepayment Period which amounts shall be remitted on the following Remittance Date, together with any additional interest required to be deposited in the Custodial Account in connection with such Principal Prepayment in accordance with Section 4.04(viii), and minus (d) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the first day of the month of the Remittance Date, which amounts shall be remitted on the Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period for such amounts.
 
With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the second Business Day following the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus three percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Company on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following such second Business Day and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with the distribution payable on the next succeeding Remittance Date. The payment by the Company of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Company.
 
Section 5.02
Statements to Purchaser.
 
Not later than the 10th day of each calendar month, the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser a Monthly Remittance Advice, with a trial balance report attached thereto, in the form of Exhibit F annexed hereto electronic medium mutually acceptable to the parties as  to  the preceding calendar month and the Due Period in the month of remittance
 
In addition, not more than 60 days after the end of each calendar year, the Company shall furnish to each Person who was a Purchaser at any time during such calendar year an annual statement in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal income tax law as to the aggregate of remittances for the applicable portion of such year.  Nothing in this Section 5.02 shall be deemed to require the Company to prepare any federal income tax return on Internal Revenue Service Form 1066, U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return, including Schedule Q thereto, Quarterly Notice to Residual Interest Holders of REMIC Taxable Income or Net Loss Allocation, or any successor forms, to be filed on behalf of any REMIC under the REMIC Provisions.
 
Section 5.03
Monthly Advances by Company.
 
On the Business Day immediately preceding each Remittance Date, either (a) the Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds or (b) if funds are on deposit in the Custodial Account which are not required to be remitted on the related Remittance Date, the Company may make an appropriate entry in its records that such funds shall be applied toward the related Monthly Advance (provided, that any funds so applied shall be replaced by the Company no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Remittance Date), in each case, in an aggregate amount equal to all Monthly Payments (with interest adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate) which were due on the Mortgage Loans during the applicable Due Period and which were delinquent at the close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date or which were deferred pursuant to Section 4.01. The Company’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, or through the last Remittance Date prior to the Remittance Date for the distribution of all Liquidation Proceeds and other payments or recoveries (including Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the Mortgage Loan.
 
 In no event shall the Company be obligated to make an advance under this section 5.03 if at the time of such advance it deems such advance to be non-recoverable.  The Company shall promptly deliver an officer’s certificate to the Purchaser upon determining that any advance is non-recoverable.  In the event that upon liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to reimburse the Company for any Monthly Advances, the Company shall notify the related Purchaser of such shortfall by registered mail with sufficient supporting documentation and shall have the right to deduct such shortfall from the next remittance to be paid to the related Purchaser.
 
ARTICLE VI
 
GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES
 
Section 6.01
Transfers of Mortgaged Property.
 
The Company shall use its best efforts to enforce any “due-on-sale” provision contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note and to deny assumption by the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be sold whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Company shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale” clause applicable thereto, provided, however, that the Company shall not exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related PMI or LPMI Policy, if any.
 
If the Company reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Company shall enter into (i) an assumption and modification agreement with the person to whom such property has been conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and the original Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) in the event the Company is unable under applicable law to require that the original Mortgagor remain liable under the Mortgage Note and the Company has the prior consent of the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, a substitution of liability agreement with the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. If an assumption fee is collected by the Company for entering into an assumption agreement, a portion of such fee, up to an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, will be retained by the Company as additional servicing compensation, and any portion thereof in excess one percent (1.0%) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account for the benefit of the Purchaser. In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, neither the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Index, the Lifetime Mortgage Interest Rate Cap, the Initial Rate Cap or the Gross Margin of any Mortgage Loan, nor the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan shall be changed.
 
To the extent that any Mortgage Loan is assumable, the Company shall inquire diligently into the creditworthiness of the proposed transferee, and shall use the underwriting criteria for approving the credit of the proposed transferee which are used by Fannie Mae with respect to underwriting mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans. If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Company diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan.
 
Section 6.02
Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.
 
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Company of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Company shall notify the Purchaser in the Monthly Remittance Advice as provided in Section 5.02, and may request the release of any Mortgage Loan Documents.  In connection with any such prepayment in full, the Company shall comply with all applicable laws regarding satisfaction, release or reconveyance with respect to the Mortgage.
 
If the Company satisfies or releases a Mortgage without first having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should the Company otherwise prejudice any rights the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, upon written demand of the Purchaser, the Company shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account within 2 Business Days of receipt of such demand by the Purchaser. The Company shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy as provided for in Section 4.12 insuring the Company against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.
 
Section 6.03
Servicing Compensation.
 
As compensation for its services hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account or to retain from interest payments on the Mortgage Loans the amount of its Servicing Fee. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly and shall be computed on the basis of the same unpaid principal balance and for the period respecting which any related interest payment on a Mortgage Loan is computed. The Servicing Fee shall be payable only at the time of and with respect to those Mortgage Loans for which payment is in fact made of the entire amount of the Monthly Payment. The obligation of the Purchaser to pay the Servicing Fee is limited to, and payable solely from, the interest portion of such Monthly Payments collected by the Company.
 
Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, to the extent provided in Section 6.01, and late payment charges and Prepayment Penalties, shall be retained by the Company to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Company shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for herein.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Principal Prepayment in full, the Company shall not waive, and shall not permit the waiver of, any Prepayment Penalty or portion thereof required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note unless (i) the Company determines that such waiver would maximize recovery of Liquidations Proceeds for such Mortgage Loan, taking into account the value of such Prepayment Penalty, or (ii) (A) the enforeceability therefore 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.
 
Section 6.04
Annual Statement as to Compliance.
 
The Company shall deliver to the Purchaser, on or before May 31 each year beginning May 31, 2003, an Officer’s Certificate, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Company during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision, and (ii) the Company has complied fully with the provisions of Article II and Article IV, and (iii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Company has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof and the action being taken by the Company to cure such default.
 
Section 6.05
Annual Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.
 
On or before May 31st of each year beginning May 31, 2003, the Company, at its expense, shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to each Purchaser to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and this Agreement and that such firm is of the opinion that the provisions of Article II and Article IV have been complied with, and that, on the basis of such examination conducted substantially in compliance with the Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, nothing has come to their attention which would indicate that such servicing has not been conducted in compliance therewith, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement.
 
Section 6.06
Right to Examine Company Records.
 
The Purchaser shall have the right to examine and audit any and all of the books, records, or other information of the Company, whether held by the Company or by another on its behalf, with respect to or concerning this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, during business hours or at such other times as may be reasonable under applicable circumstances, upon reasonable advance notice.

Upon receipt by the Company of notice from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or the trustee of a breach of any Purchaser representation or warranty contained in any Reconstitution Agreement or a request by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or the trustee, as the case may be, for the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan transferred to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac pursuant to an Agency Transfer or to a trustee pursuant to a Pass-Through Transfer, the Company shall promptly notify the Purchaser of same and shall, at the direction of the Purchaser, use its best efforts to cure and correct any such breach and to satisfy the requests or concerns of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or the trustee related to such deficiencies of the related Mortgage Loans transferred to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or the trustee.
 
The Purchaser shall repurchase from the Company any Mortgage Loan transferred to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac pursuant to an Agency Transfer or to a trustee pursuant to a Pass-Through Transfer with respect to which the Company has been required by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or the trustee to repurchase due to a breach of a representation or warranty made by the Purchaser with respect to the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing thereof prior to the transfer date to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or the trustee in any Reconstitution Agreement and not due to a breach of the Company’s representations or obligations thereunder or pursuant to this Agreement.

Prior to termination of the Company’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 9.04, 10.01, 11.01 (ii) or pursuant to Section 11.02 after the 90 day period has expired, the Purchaser shall, (i) succeed to and assume all of the Company’s responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor having the characteristics set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 9.02 and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Company under this Agreement prior to the termination of Company’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Company’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned sections, the Company shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor.

Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the Purchaser an instrument accepting such appointment, wherein the successor shall make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01, except for subsections (f), (h), (i) and (k) thereof, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Company or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.04, 10.01, 11.01 or 11.02 shall not affect any claims that any Purchaser may have against the Company arising out of the Company’s actions or failure to act prior to any such termination or resignation.
 
The Company shall deliver promptly to the successor servicer the Funds in the Custodial Account and Escrow Account and all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Company shall account for all funds and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitively vest in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company.
 
Upon a successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, the Company shall notify by mail the Purchaser of such appointment in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 12.05.

SECTION 4. Counterparts. This Amendment Number One may be executed by each of the parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

SECTION 5. Limited Effect. Except as amended hereby, the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Reference to this Amendment Number One need not be made in the Agreement or any other instrument or document executed in connection therewith, or in any certificate, letter or communication issued or made pursuant to, or with respect to, the Agreement, any reference in any of such items to the Agreement being sufficient to refer to the Agreement as amended hereby.

Recognition of Assignee
 
7.  From and after the date hereof, the Company shall recognize the Assignee as owner of the Assigned Loans, and acknowledges that the Assigned Loans will be part of a REMIC, and will service the Assigned Loans in accordance with the Servicing Agreement but in no event in a manner that would (i) cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code). It is the intention of the Assignor, the Company and the Assignee that this AAR Agreement shall be binding upon and for the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto. Neither the Company nor the Assignor shall amend or agree to amend, modify, waiver, or otherwise alter any of the terms or provisions of the Servicing Agreement which amendment, modification, waiver or other alteration would in any way affect the Assigned Loans without the prior written consent of the Assignee.
 
8.  The Company shall prepare for and deliver to the Assignee and EMC Mortgage Corporation, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) a statement with respect to each mortgaged property acquired through foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure in connection with a defaulted Assigned Loan (“REO Property”) that has been rented showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses incurred in connection with the management and maintenance of such REO Property at such times as is necessary to enable the Assignee to comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC provisions of the Code.  The net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in the related collection account no later than the close of business on each determination date.  The Company shall perform, or cause to be performed, the tax reporting and withholding related to foreclosures, abandonments and cancellation of indebtedness income as specified by Sections 1445, 6050J and 6050P of the Code by preparing and filing such tax and information returns, as may be required.  In the event that Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 acquires any REO Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or default becoming reasonably foreseeable on an Assigned Loan, the Company shall cause such REO Property to be disposed prior to three years after its acquisition by Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 or, at the expense of Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3, request more than 60 days prior to the day on which such three-year period would otherwise expire, an extension of the three-year grace period unless the Assignee shall have been supplied with an opinion of counsel addressed to the Assignee rendered by nationally recognized tax counsel specializing in such matters (such opinion not to be an expense of the Assignee) to the effect that the holding by Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 of such REO Property subsequent to such three-year period will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, in which case Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 may continue to hold such REO Property (subject to any conditions contained in such opinion of counsel). Notwithstanding any other provision of the Servicing Agreement, no REO Property acquired by Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 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 to the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from such REO Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Company has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
 
9.  Notwithstanding any term hereof to the contrary, the execution and delivery of this AAR Agreement by the Assignee is solely in its capacity as trustee for Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 and not individually, and any recourse against the Assignee in respect of any obligations it may have under or pursuant to the terms of this AAR Agreement shall be limited solely to the assets it may hold as trustee of Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3.

The Company shall prepare for and deliver to the Assignee and the Master Servicer (and the securities administrator, if any) a statement with respect to each mortgaged property acquired through foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure in connection with a defaulted Assigned Loan (“REO Property”) that has been rented showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses incurred in connection with the management and maintenance of such REO Property at such times as is necessary to enable the Assignee (or the securities administrator, if any) to comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC provisions of the Code. The net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in the related collection account no later than the close of business on each determination date.  The Company shall perform, or caused to be performed, the tax reporting and withholding related to foreclosures, abandonments and cancellation of indebtedness income as specified by Sections 1445, 6050J and 6050P of the Code by preparing and filing such tax and information returns, as may be required.  In the event that the Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 acquires any REO Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or default becoming reasonably foreseeable on an Assigned Loan, the Company shall cause such REO Property to be disposed prior to three years after its acquisition by the Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 or, at the expense of the Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3, request more than 60 days prior to the day on which such three-year period would otherwise expire, an extension of the three-year grace period unless the Assignee (or the securities administrator, if any) shall have been supplied with an opinion of counsel addressed to the Assignee (and the securities administrator, if any) rendered by nationally recognized tax counsel specializing in such matters (such opinion not to be an expense of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator) to the effect that the holding by the Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 of such REO Property subsequent to such three-year period will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, in which case the Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 may continue to hold such REO Property (subject to any conditions contained in such opinion of counsel). Notwithstanding any other provision of the Servicing Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 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 to the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from such REO Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Company has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
 
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Assignor, each affiliate of the Assignor, SAMI II, the Assignee, Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. (the “Underwriter”) and each affiliate of the Underwriter, each Person (including, but not limited to, the Master Servicer) responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission, or for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act, each Person who controls the Assignor, SAMI II, the Assignee or the Underwriter (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act); and the respective present and former directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates of each of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified Party”), and shall hold each of them harmless from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising out of or based upon:
 
(i)  (A)           any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material provided under Article 1 of Amendment Reg AB by or on behalf of the Company, or provided under this Article 1 by or on behalf of any Subservicer, Subcontractor or Third-Party Originator (collectively, the  “Company Information”), or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Company Information a material fact required to be stated in the Company Information or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that clause (B) of this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the Company Information and not to any other information communicated in connection with a sale or purchase of securities, without regard to whether the Company Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information; or
 
(ii)  any breach by the Company of its obligations under Article I of Amendment Reg AB, including particularly the failure by the Company, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any Third-Party Originator to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under Article I of Amendment Reg AB, including any failure by the Company to identify pursuant to Section 6(b) any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB; or
 
(iii)  any breach by the Company of a representation or warranty set forth in Section  2(a) or in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 2(b) and made as of a date prior to the closing date of the related Securitization Transaction, to the extent that such breach is not cured by such closing date, or any breach by the Company of a representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 2(b) to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing date.
 
If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party, then the Company agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Company on the other.
 
In the case of any failure of performance described in clause (a)(ii) of Section 7 of Amendment Reg AB, the Company shall promptly reimburse the Assignor, each affiliate of the Assignor and SAMI II, as applicable, and each Person responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to such Securitization Transaction, for all costs reasonably incurred by each such party in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required by the Company, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any Third-Party Originator.
 
Modification of the Purchase Agreement
 

8.  The Purchase Agreement, as it relates to the Assigned Loans, shall be amended by the Company and the Assignor as follows:
 
(a)           Section 1.01 of the Purchase Agreement shall be amended by adding the following definitions thereto:

Nonrecoverable Advance: Any advance previously made by the Company pursuant to Section 5.03 or any Servicing Advance which, in the good faith judgment of the Company, may not be ultimately recoverable by the Company from Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise.  The determination by the Company that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Company delivered to the Purchaser and the Master Servicer and detailing the reasons for such determination.
 
Pooling and Servicing Agreement:  That certain pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of August 1, 2007, among Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., EMC Mortgage Corporation, as the Master Servicer, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.
 
Servicing Modification: With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is in default or imminent default or as otherwise set forth in Section 4.01, any modification which is effected by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement that results in any change to the payment terms of the Mortgage Loan.
 
(b)           The definition of Eligible Account is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
 
Eligible Account: Any of (i) an account or accounts maintained with a federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company, the long-term unsecured debt obligations and short-term unsecured debt obligations of which (or, in the case of a depository institution or trust company that is the principal subsidiary of a holding company, the debt obligations of such holding company, so long as Moody’s is not a Rating Agency) are rated by each Rating Agency in one of its two highest long-term and its highest short-term rating categories, respectively, at the time any amounts are held on deposit therein; provided, that following a downgrade, withdrawal, or suspension of such institution's rating  as set forth above, each account shall promptly (and in any case within not more than 30 calendar days) be moved to one or more segregated trust accounts in the trust department of such institution, or to an account at another institution that complies with the above requirements, or (ii) a trust account or accounts maintained with the corporate trust department of a federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company having capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000, acting in its fiduciary capacity or (iii) any other account acceptable to the Rating Agencies, as evidenced in writing. Eligible Accounts may bear interest, and may include, if otherwise qualified under this definition, accounts maintained with the Trustee.  This Agreement may be amended to reduce the rating requirements in clause (i) above pursuant to Section 11.02, provided that, the Person requesting such amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that such amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the related securities.
 
(c)           The definition of “Servicing Fee Rate” is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following definition:
 
Servicing Fee Rate: a per annum rate equal to 0.25%.
 
(c)           Subsection 3.02(nn) of the Purchase Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

(d)           The following sentence is added as the last sentence of the definition of Principal Prepayment:
 
Partial principal Prepayments shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note.
 
(e)           Section 4.01 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by changing the first sentence of the second paragraph to the following:
 
Consistent with and in addition to the terms set forth in this Agreement, if a Mortgage Loan is in default or such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Company may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor, including without limitation, to (1) capitalize any amounts owing on the Mortgage Loan by adding such amount to the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (2) defer such amounts to a later date or the final payment date of such Mortgage Loan, (3) extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan, (4) amend the related Mortgage Loan to reduce the related Mortgage Interest Rate with respect to any Mortgage Loan, (5) convert the Mortgage Interest Rate on any Mortgage Loan from a fixed rate to an adjustable rate or vice versa, (6) with respect to a Mortgage Loan with an initial fixed rate period followed by an adjustable rate period, extend the fixed period and reduce the adjustable rate period, and/or (7) forgive the amount of any interest, principal or servicing advances owed by the related Mortgagor; provided that, in the Company's reasonable and prudent determination, such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence: (A) is not materially adverse to the interests of the Purchaser on a present value basis using reasonable assumptions (including taking into account any estimated realized loss (as defined in the related pooling and servicing agreement) that might result absent such action); and (B) does not amend the related Mortgage Note to extend the maturity thereof later than the date of the Latest Possible Maturity Date (as such term is defined in the related pooling and servicing agreement); provided, further, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or if default is not reasonably foreseeable, unless the Company has provided to the Purchaser a certification addressed to the Purchaser, based on the advice of counsel or certified public accountants that have a national reputation with respect to taxation of REMICs that a modification of such Mortgage Loan will not result in the imposition of taxes on or disqualify from REMIC status any of the REMICs and has obtained the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Company shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence (not including any partial releases, assumptions of mortgages or modifications of any Mortgage Loan that is done in connection with compliance with the Relief Act) which the Company reasonably anticipates may result in a realized loss of 20% or more of the outstanding principal balance of a Mortgage Loan, the Company shall present such proposed waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence, together with any supporting documentation, to the Master Servicer for consideration and approval.  The Company shall submit all waivers, modifications or variances of the terms of any Mortgage Loan with respect to partial releases, assumptions of mortgages or for modifications done in furtherance of compliance with Relief Act, together with any supporting documentation, to the Master Servicer for consideration and approval.
 
(f)           Section 4.01 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following as the third paragraph:
 
In connection with any such Servicing Modification, the Company may reimburse itself from the Trust for any outstanding Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances in the same calendar month as the Servicing Modification to the extent that such Monthly Advances or Servicing Advances are reimbursable to the Company and to the extent of the related principal portion of funds available for the related Distribution Date (as defined in the related pooling and servicing agreement). To the extent there are not sufficient principal funds available on the related Distribution Date to reimburse the Company for such Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances, the Company may reimburse itself on a first priority basis from related principal funds that are available on future Distribution Dates. If any mortgagor’s obligation to repay any outstanding amounts due under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan for which a Monthly Advance or Servicing Advance has been made by the Company is forgiven, any such Monthly Advance or Servicing Advance will be treated as a realized loss which will be incurred on the Distribution Date related to the calendar month during which the Servicing Modification occurred.
 
(g)           Section 4.03 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph to the end of the section:
 
Not later than 2:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on each Remittance Date, the Company shall remit to the Master Servicer all Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds, along with any Servicing Advances and Advances, such that the sum of the foregoing at least equals in the aggregate the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loans.  The Master Servicer shall fully reimburse the Company for Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances related to Liquidation Proceeds on the Remittance Date after such Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances are approved; provided, however, the Company must provide documentation in the form of Exhibit P hereto to the Master Servicer seeking approval within 90 days of final liquidation of a Mortgage Loan.   The Master Servicer shall provide such approval or denial to the Company no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such claim and all required supporting documentation.  The Company’s obligation to make such Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan shall continue through the final liquidation of the Mortgaged Property, unless the Company deems such advance nonrecoverable and submits an officer’s certificate in accordance with Section 5.03.
 
(h)           Sections 4.05(vi), 4.05(vii) and 4.05(vi) are hereby renumbered as Sections 4.05(vi), 4.05(vii) and 4.05(viii), and the following is added as Section 4.05(ix):
 
(ix)           to reimburse itself for Nonrecoverable Advances, to the extent not reimbursed pursuant to clause (ii) or clause (iii), upon prior approval from the Master Servicer.  The Master Servicer shall provide such approval or denial to the Company no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such claim; provided, however, such claim must be complete with all supporting documentation.
 
(i)           The following is added as the last paragraph of Section 4.05:
 
“Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s right to reimbursement pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii) and (ix) above shall be subject to the prior approval of the Master Servicer.  The Master Servicer shall provide such approval or denial to the Company no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such claim; provided, however, the Company must submit such claim with all supporting documentation in order for the Master Servicer to approve or deny such claim within such time period.  Pending such approval, such funds shall be remitted by the Company to the Master Servicer to the extent such funds, in addition to any Servicing Advances and Advances, constitute an amount equal to the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan plus any accrued interest due and owing on such Mortgage Loan.”

ASSIGNMENT, ASSUMPTION AND RECOGNITION AGREEMENT
 
This is an Assignment, Assumption and Recognition Agreement (this “AAR Agreement”) made as of August 31, 2007, among EMC Mortgage Corporation (the “Assignor”), U.S. Bank National Association, not individually but solely as trustee for the holders of Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 (the “Assignee”) and Mid America Bank, fsb (the “Company”).
 
In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein the parties hereto agree that the residential mortgage loans (the “Assigned Loans”) listed on Attachment 1 annexed hereto purchased by the Assignor from the Company and now serviced by the Company for Assignor and its successors and assigns pursuant to the Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2006, between Assignor and the Company, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated  as February 1, 2006 (the “Purchase Agreement”) shall be subject to the terms of this AAR Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.
 
Assignment and Assumption
 
Except as expressly provided for herein, the Assignor hereby grants, transfers and assigns to the Assignee all of its right, title and interest as in, to and under (a) the Assigned Loans and (b) the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Assigned Loans; provided, however, that the Assignor is not assigning to the Assignee any of its right, title or interest, in, to and under the Purchase Agreement with respect to any mortgage loan other than the Assigned Loans listed on Attachment 1.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Assignor specifically reserves and does not assign to the Assignee any right, title and interest in, to or under the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.01 and Section 3.02 of the Purchase Agreement, and any obligation of the Company to cure, repurchase or substitute for a mortgage loan and to indemnify the Assignor with respect to a breach of such representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.03 and Section 8.01 of the Purchase Agreement, and the Assignor is retaining the right to enforce the representations and warranties and the obligations of the Company set forth in those sections against the Company.  In addition, the Assignor specifically reserves and does not assign to the Assignee any right, title and interest in, to or under (a) Section 2.09 of the Purchase Agreement and (b) Section 4.03 and Section 4.13 of the Purchase Agreement (but only insofar as such Sections grant to the Purchaser the right to terminate the servicing of defaulted Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties by the Company), and the Assignor is retaining the right to enforce such sections against the Company.  Except as is otherwise expressly provided herein, the Assignor makes no representations, warranties or covenants to the Assignee and the Assignee acknowledges that the Assignor has no obligations to the Assignee under the terms of the Purchase Agreement or otherwise relating to the transaction contemplated herein (including, but not limited to, any obligation to indemnify the Assignee).

(i)  The Assignor has received from the Company, and has delivered to the Assignee, all documents required to be delivered to Assignor by the Company prior to the date hereof pursuant to the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Assigned Loans and has not received, and has not requested from the Company, any additional documents; and

This AAR Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Assignee and, upon the due authorization, execution and delivery by Assignor and the Company, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of Assignee enforceable against Assignee in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;
 
(c)  No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or declaration, filing or registration with, any governmental entity is required to be obtained or made by Assignee in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Assignee of this AAR Agreement, or the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby;
 
(d)  There is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation or litigation pending or, to Assignee's knowledge, threatened, which either in any instance or in the aggregate, if determined adversely to Assignee, would adversely affect Assignee's execution or delivery of, or the enforceability of, this AAR Agreement, or the Assignee's ability to perform its obligations under this AAR Agreement; and

The net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in the related collection account no later than the close of business on each determination date.  The Company shall perform, or caused to be performed, the tax reporting and withholding related to foreclosures, abandonments and cancellation of indebtedness income as specified by Sections 1445, 6050J and 6050P of the Code by preparing and filing such tax and information returns, as may be required.  In the event that the Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 acquires any REO Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or default becoming reasonably foreseeable on an Assigned Loan, the Company shall cause such REO Property to be disposed prior to three years after its acquisition by the Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 or, at the expense of the Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3, request more than 60 days prior to the day on which such three-year period would otherwise expire, an extension of the three-year grace period unless the Assignee (or the securities administrator, if any) shall have been supplied with an opinion of counsel addressed to the Assignee (and the securities administrator, if any) rendered by nationally recognized tax counsel specializing in such matters (such opinion not to be an expense of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator) to the effect that the holding by the Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 of such REO Property subsequent to such three-year period will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, in which case the Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 may continue to hold such REO Property (subject to any conditions contained in such opinion of counsel). Notwithstanding any other provision of the Servicing Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 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 to the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from such REO Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Company has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
 
6.  Notwithstanding any term hereof to the contrary, it is expressly understood and agreed to by the parties hereto that the execution and delivery of the AAR Agreement by the Assignee is solely in its capacity as trustee for Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 and not individually, and any recourse against the Assignee in respect of any obligations it may have under or pursuant to the terms of this AAR Agreement shall be limited solely to the assets it may hold as trustee of Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3.
 
7.  SAMI II and the Assignor each agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Party”) against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to which the Company Indemnified Party may become subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise, including without limitation, with respect to disputes between parties, insofar as such losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Prospectus Supplement, or the omission or the alleged omission to state in the Prospectus Supplement a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is other than the Company Information.
 
Modification of Purchase Agreement
 
8.  The Company and Assignor hereby amend the Purchase Agreement as follows:
 
(a)  The definition of Eligible Account is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
 
Eligible Account: Any of (i) an account or accounts maintained with a federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company, the long-term unsecured debt obligations and short-term unsecured debt obligations of which (or, in the case of a depository institution or trust company that is the principal subsidiary of a holding company, the debt obligations of such holding company, so long as Moody’s is not a Rating Agency) are rated by each Rating Agency in one of its two highest long-term and its highest short-term rating categories, respectively, at the time any amounts are held on deposit therein; provided, that following a downgrade, withdrawal, or suspension of such institution's rating  as set forth above, each account shall promptly (and in any case within not more than 30 calendar days) be moved to one or more segregated trust accounts in the trust department of such institution, or to an account at another institution that complies with the above requirements, or (ii) a trust account or accounts maintained with the corporate trust department of a federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company having capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000, acting in its fiduciary capacity or (iii) any other account acceptable to the Rating Agencies, as evidenced in writing. Eligible Accounts may bear interest, and may include, if otherwise qualified under this definition, accounts maintained with the Trustee.  This Agreement may be amended to reduce the rating requirements in clause (i) above pursuant to Section 11.02, provided that, the Person requesting such amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that such amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the related securities.
 
(b)  The definition of Principal Prepayment is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
 
Principal Prepayment:  Any payment or other recovery of principal on a Mortgage Loan in full or partial which is received in advance of its scheduled Due Date, including any prepayment penalty or premium thereon,  and which is not accompanied by an amount of interest representing scheduled interest due on any date or dates in any month or months subsequent to the month of prepayment. Partial principal Prepayments shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note.
 
(c)  The definition of Servicing Fee Rate is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
 
Servicing Fee Rate:  A per annum rate equal to 0.250%.
 
(d)  The following definition shall be added to Section 1.01 of the Purchase Agreement:
 
Servicing Modification: With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is in default or imminent default or as otherwise set forth in Section 4.01, any modification which is effected by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement that results in any change to the payment terms of the Mortgage Loan.
 
(e)  Section 4.01 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by changing the first sentence of the second paragraph to the following:
 
Consistent with and in addition to the terms set forth in this Agreement, if a Mortgage Loan is in default or such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Company may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor, including without limitation, to (1) capitalize any amounts owing on the Mortgage Loan by adding such amount to the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (2) defer such amounts to a later date or the final payment date of such Mortgage Loan, (3) extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan, (4) amend the related Mortgage Loan to reduce the related Mortgage Interest Rate with respect to any Mortgage Loan, (5) convert the Mortgage Interest Rate on any Mortgage Loan from a fixed rate to an adjustable rate or vice versa, (6) with respect to a Mortgage Loan with an initial fixed rate period followed by an adjustable rate period, extend the fixed period and reduce the adjustable rate period, and/or (7) forgive the amount of any interest, principal or servicing advances owed by the related Mortgagor; provided that, in the Company's reasonable and prudent determination, such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence: (A) is not materially adverse to the interests of the Purchaser on a present value basis using reasonable assumptions (including taking into account any estimated realized loss (as defined in the related pooling and servicing agreement) that might result absent such action); and (B) does not amend the related Mortgage Note to extend the maturity thereof later than the date of the Latest Possible Maturity Date (as such term is defined in the related pooling and servicing agreement); provided, further, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or if default is not reasonably foreseeable, unless the Company has provided to the Purchaser a certification addressed to the Purchaser, based on the advice of counsel or certified public accountants that have a national reputation with respect to taxation of REMICs that a modification of such Mortgage Loan will not result in the imposition of taxes on or disqualify from REMIC status any of the REMICs and has obtained the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Company shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence (not including any partial releases, assumptions of mortgages or modifications of any Mortgage Loan that is done in connection with compliance with the Relief Act) which the Company reasonably anticipates may result in a realized loss of 20% or more of the outstanding principal balance of a Mortgage Loan, the Company shall present such proposed waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence, together with any supporting documentation, to the Master Servicer for consideration and approval.  The Company shall submit all waivers, modifications or variances of the terms of any Mortgage Loan with respect to partial releases, assumptions of mortgages or for modifications done in furtherance of compliance with Relief Act, together with any supporting documentation, to the Master Servicer for consideration and approval.
 
(f)  Section 4.01 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following as the third paragraph:
 
In connection with any such Servicing Modification, the Company may reimburse itself from the Trust for any outstanding Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances in the same calendar month as the Servicing Modification to the extent that such Monthly Advances or Servicing Advances are reimbursable to the Company and to the extent of the related principal portion of funds available for the related Distribution Date (as defined in the related pooling and servicing agreement). To the extent there are not sufficient principal funds available on the related Distribution Date to reimburse the Company for such Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances, the Company may reimburse itself on a first priority basis from related principal funds that are available on future Distribution Dates. If any mortgagor’s obligation to repay any outstanding amounts due under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan for which a Monthly Advance or Servicing Advance has been made by the Company is forgiven, any such Monthly Advance or Servicing Advance will be treated as a realized loss which will be incurred on the Distribution Date related to the calendar month during which the Servicing Modification occurred.
 
(g)  Section 4.03 is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph to the end of the section:
 
Not later than 2:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on each Remittance Date, the Company shall remit to the Master Servicer all Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds, along with any Servicing Advances and Advances, such that the sum of the foregoing at least equals in the aggregate the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loans.  The Master Servicer shall fully reimburse the Company for Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances related to Liquidation Proceeds on the Remittance Date after such Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances are approved; provided, however, the Company must provide documentation in the form of Exhibit P hereto to the Master Servicer seeking approval within 90 days of final liquidation of a Mortgage Loan.   The Master Servicer shall provide such approval or denial to the Company no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such claim; provided, however, such claim must be complete with all supporting documentation.  The Company’s obligation to make such Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan shall continue through the final liquidation of the Mortgaged Property, unless the Company deems such advance nonrecoverable and submits an officer’s certificate in accordance with Section 5.03.
 
(h)  Sections 4.05(vi), 4.05(vii), 4.05(vi) and 4.05(vii) are hereby renumbered as Sections 4.05(vi), 4.05(vii), 4.05(viii) and 4.05(ix).
 
(i)  Section 4.05(ix) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
 
“(ix)to reimburse itself for Nonrecoverable Advances, to the extent not reimbursed pursuant to clause (ii) or clause (iii), upon prior approval from the Master Servicer.  The Master Servicer shall provide such approval or denial to the Company no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such claim; provided, however, such claim must be complete with all supporting documentation.”
 
(j)  The following is added as the last paragraph of Section 4.05:
 
“Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s right to reimbursement pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii) and (ix) above shall be subject to the prior approval of the Master Servicer.  The Master Servicer shall provide such approval or denial to the Company no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such claim; provided, however, the Company must submit such claim with all supporting documentation in order for the Master Servicer to approve or deny such claim within such time period.  Pending such approval, such funds shall be remitted by the Company to the Master Servicer to the extent such funds, in addition to any Servicing Advances and Advances, constitute an amount equal to the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan plus any accrued interest due and owing on such Mortgage Loan.”
 
(k)  The following is added to the first sentence of the fourth paragraph of Section 4.13 of the Purchase Agreement:
 
“; provided, however, that any REO property shall be disposed of by the Company before the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO property, unless the Company is otherwise directed by the Assignee.”
 
(l)  The first sentence of Section 5.01 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the word “On” with the following:
 
“Not later than 2:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on”
 
(m)  Section 5.02 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting “no later than the fifth Business Day of the following month in hard copy, and” after “mutually agreed upon by both Purchaser and the Company, and” in the first paragraph.
 
(n)  The second sentence of the second paragraph of Section 5.02 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
 
The Company shall also provide a monthly report in the form of Exhibit E and Exhibit S, with respect to remittances, Exhibit P, with respect to realized losses and gains, Exhibit F, with respect to defaulted mortgage loans, Exhibit T, with respect to modified mortgage loans, Exhibit U, with respect to claims submitted and Exhibit V, with respect to loss severity, with each such report. For a period of 90 days from the date hereof, the Company may provide monthly reports in other formats as mutually agreed upon between the Company and the Master Servicer.  After the expiration of that time, the Company shall provide the reports in the forms of the exhibits attached hereto.

Section 11.04  Governing Law.
 
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law) and except to the extent preempted by Federal law and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.
 
(p)  Section 11.18 (ix) is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by changing the reference in Section 11.18 (ix) from “15 calendar days” to “30 calendar days”.

3.  The Assignor hereby grants, transfers and assigns to the Assignee all of the right, title, interest and obligations of the Assignor, as purchaser, in, to and under (a) the Mortgage Loans and (b) the SWS Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
 
4.  The Assignor specifically reserves and does not assign to the Assignee hereunder any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any and all obligations of the Assignor with respect to any mortgage loans subject to the SWS Agreement which are not Mortgage Loans and are not the subject of this Agreement.
 
5.  The Assignor warrants and represents to, and covenants with, the Assignee that as of the date hereof:
 
(a)                 
Attached hereto as Attachment 2 is a true and accurate copy of the servicing provisions of the SWS Agreement (Articles IV, V, and VI), which is in full force and effect as of the date hereof and the provisions of which have not been waived, amended or modified in any material respect, nor has any notice of termination been given thereunder;
 
(b)

(h)                 
The Assignor has received from the Company, and has delivered to the Assignee, all documents required to be delivered to the Assignor by the Company prior to the date hereof pursuant to the SWS Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans and has not received, and has not requested from the Company, any additional documents.

Consistent with and in addition to the terms set forth in this Agreement, if a Mortgage Loan is in default or such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Company may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor, including without limitation, to (1) capitalize any amounts owing on the Mortgage Loan by adding such amount to the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (2) defer such amounts to a later date or the final payment date of such Mortgage Loan, (3) extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan, (4) amend the related Mortgage Loan to reduce the related Mortgage Interest Rate with respect to any Mortgage Loan, (5) convert the Mortgage Interest Rate on any Mortgage Loan from a fixed rate to an adjustable rate or vice versa, (6) with respect to a Mortgage Loan with an initial fixed rate period followed by an adjustable rate period, extend the fixed period and reduce the adjustable rate period, and/or (7) forgive the amount of any interest, principal or servicing advances owed by the related Mortgagor; provided that, in the Company's reasonable and prudent determination, such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence: (A) is not materially adverse to the interests of the Purchaser on a present value basis using reasonable assumptions (including taking into account any estimated realized loss (as defined in the related pooling and servicing agreement) that might result absent such action); and (B) does not amend the related Mortgage Note to extend the maturity thereof later than the date of the Latest Possible Maturity Date (as such term is defined in the related pooling and servicing agreement); provided, further, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or if default is not reasonably foreseeable, unless the Company has provided to the Purchaser a certification addressed to the Purchaser, based on the advice of counsel or certified public accountants that have a national reputation with respect to taxation of REMICs that a modification of such Mortgage Loan will not result in the imposition of taxes on or disqualify from REMIC status any of the REMICs and has obtained the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Company shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence (not including any partial releases, assumptions of mortgages or modifications of any Mortgage Loan that is done in connection with compliance with the Relief Act) which the Company reasonably anticipates may result in a realized loss of 20% or more of the outstanding principal balance of a Mortgage Loan, the Company shall present such proposed waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence, together with any supporting documentation, to the Master Servicer for consideration and approval.  The Company shall submit all waivers, modifications or variances of the terms of any Mortgage Loan with respect to partial releases, assumptions of mortgages or for modifications done in furtherance of compliance with the Relief Act, together with any supporting documentation, to the Master Servicer for consideration and approval.

In connection with any such Servicing Modification, the Company may reimburse itself from the Trust for any outstanding Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances in the same calendar month as the Servicing Modification to the extent that such Monthly Advances or Servicing Advances are reimbursable to the Company and to the extent of the related principal portion of funds available for the related Distribution Date (as defined in the related pooling and servicing agreement). To the extent there are not sufficient principal funds available on the related Distribution Date to reimburse the Company for such Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances, the Company may reimburse itself on a first priority basis from related principal funds that are available on future Distribution Dates. If any mortgagor’s obligation to repay any outstanding amounts due under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan for which a Monthly Advance or Servicing Advance has been made by the Company is forgiven, any such Monthly Advance or Servicing Advance will be treated as a realized loss which will be incurred on the Distribution Date related to the calendar month during which the Servicing Modification occurred.

In the event of any such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence which has been agreed to in writing by the Owner and which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Company shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 4.04 and Section 5.03, the difference between (a) such month's principal and one month's interest at the related Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Company shall be entitled to reimbursement for Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 4.05. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties.

(i)  The first paragraph of Section 4.04 of SWS Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
 
The Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled “Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. in trust for EMC Mortgage Corporation, as purchaser of Residential Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans and various Mortgagors”. The Custodial Account shall be established with a depository institution that is a Qualified Depository. In the event of a downgrade, withdrawal or suspension of the Ratings of such Qualified Depository which would result in the reduction or withdrawal of their then-current ratings of the Certificates, the Custodial Account shall promptly (and in any case within not more than 30 calendar days) be moved to another Qualified Depository. Any funds deposited in the Custodial Account shall at all times be fully insured to the full extent permitted under applicable law. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto, in the case of an account established with the Company, or by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit D-2 hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than the Company. A copy of such certification or letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser and, upon request, to any subsequent Purchaser.

(j)  The first sentence of Section 5.02 of the SWS Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

The undersigned is the [Title of Officer] of [Name of Transferor] (the “Owner”), the proposed transferor of an Ownership Interest in the Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3, Class [_]-R-[_] Certificate (the “Certificate”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2007 (the “Agreement”), among Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc. as depositor (the “Depositor”), EMC Mortgage Corporation as seller and master servicer, and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”), and makes this affidavit on behalf of the Owner for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee.  Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.
 
1.           The Owner is not transferring the Certificate to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.
 
2.           The Owner has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee of the Certificate: (i) has insufficient assets to pay any taxes that would be owed by such transferee as Holder of the Certificate; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as the Certificate remains outstanding; and (iii) is not a Permitted Transferee.
 
3.           The Owner understands that the proposed transferee has delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor a transfer affidavit and agreement in the form attached to the Agreement as Exhibit C.  The Owner does not know or believe that any representation contained therein is false.
 
4.           At the time of transfer, the Owner has conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the proposed transferee as contemplated by Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Owner has determined that the proposed transferee has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the proposed transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Owner understands that the transfer of the Certificate may not be respected for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and the Owner may continue to be liable for U.S. federal income taxes associated therewith) unless the Owner has conducted such an investigation.
