(d) The execution and delivery of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Assignor; neither the execution and delivery by the Assignor of this Agreement, nor the consummation by the Assignor of the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance by the Assignor with the provisions hereof will conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the provisions of the governing documents of the Assignor or any law, governmental rule or regulation or any material judgment, decree or order binding on the Assignor or any of its properties, or any of the provisions of any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, contract or other instrument to which the Assignor is a party or by which it is bound.

The Assignor intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loans.

(g) The Assignor 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.
 
(h) Each Mortgage Loan, at the time it was originated, complied in all material respects with applicable local, state and federal laws, including, but not limited to, all applicable predatory and abusive lending laws; and none of the Mortgage Loans are “high-cost,” “high-cost home” or “covered” loans under any applicable federal, state or local predatory or abusive lending law.
 
(i) No Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable (as such terms are defined in the then current Standard & Poor’s LEVELS® Glossary, Appendix E, in effect on December 1, 2007) and no Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003 is governed by the Georgia Fair Lending Act.

For avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that this definition shall apply to any law regardless of whether such law is presently, or in the future becomes, the subject of judicial review or litigation.

(j) Nothing has occurred or failed to occur from and after the closing date set forth in the related Purchase Agreement to December 28, 2007, that would cause any of the representations and warranties relating to the Mortgage Loans set forth in Section II.B.2. of the Goldman Sachs Mortgage Program Sellers Guide dated as of March 2007, as such may be amended by the related Purchase Agreement, to be incorrect in any material respects as of the date hereof as if made on the date hereof.
 
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 4 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to each custodian and shall inure to the benefit of the Assignee and its assigns notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment. Upon the discovery by the Assignor or the Assignee and its assigns of a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties to this Agreement, and in no event later than two (2) Business Days from the date of such discovery. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Assignor set forth in Section 5 below to repurchase a Mortgage Loan constitute the sole remedies available to the Assignee and its assigns on their behalf respecting a breach of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 4. It is further understood and agreed that the Assignor shall be deemed not to have made the representations and warranties in this Section 4 with respect to, or to the extent of, the representations and warranties made, as to the matters covered in this Section 4, in any Purchase Agreement (or any officer’s certificate delivered pursuant thereto).
 
It is understood and agreed that the Assignor has made no representations or warranties to the Assignee other than those contained in this Section 4, and no other affiliate of the Assignor has made any representations or warranties of any kind to the Assignee.
 
 
5. Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties of the Assignor

Upon discovery or notice of any breach by the Assignor of any representation, warranty, or covenant under this Agreement that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Assignee therein (it being understood that any such defect or breach shall be deemed to have materially and adversely affected the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Assignee therein if the Assignee incurs a loss as a result of such defect or breach), the Assignee promptly shall request that the Assignor cure such breach and, if the Assignor does not cure such breach in all material respects within 60 days from the date on which it is notified of the breach, the Assignee may enforce the Assignor’s obligation hereunder to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Assignee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if such breach is a Qualification Defect, such cure or repurchase must take place within 75 days of the discovery of such Qualification Defect.
 
In the event the applicable originator has breached a representation or warranty under the applicable Purchase Agreement that is substantially identical to a representation or warranty breached by the Assignor hereunder, the Assignee shall first proceed against such originator as to such breach. If the applicable originator does not within 60 days after notification of the breach, take steps to cure such breach (which may include certifying to progress made and requesting an extension of the time to cure such breach, as permitted under the applicable Purchase Agreement) or repurchase, or substitute for, the affected Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of the Assignor hereunder to cure such breach or to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust. In such event, the Assignor shall succeed to the rights of the Assignee to enforce the obligations of the applicable originator to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the applicable Purchase Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

Except as specifically set forth herein, the Assignee shall have no responsibility to enforce any provision of this Agreement, to oversee compliance hereof, or to take notice of any breach or default thereof.
 
6. Representations and Warranties of the Assignee.

(a) The Assignee represents and warrants that it is a sophisticated investor able to evaluate the risks and merits of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that it has not relied in connection therewith upon any statements or representations of the Assignor or the Servicer other than those contained in the Purchase Agreements, the PPTL Agreements, the Servicing Agreement or this Agreement.

(b) The Assignee hereto represents and warrants that it is duly and legally authorized to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement.

(c) The Assignee hereto represents and warrants that this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by each of the other parties hereto) constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

7. Amendment to Servicing Agreement. In connection with the transfer of the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Servicer agrees that, from and after the date hereof, each Mortgage Loan transferred hereunder will be subject to the Servicing Agreement, provided that, solely with respect to the Mortgage Loans transferred hereunder, the following modifications shall be made:

“Subject only to the Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have full power and authority to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own name or in the name of the Owner, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Owner when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, to execute and deliver any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed in lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, in the name of the Servicer on behalf of the Owner and without reference to the Owner except as otherwise required by law. The Owner shall execute, at the written request of the Servicer, and furnish to the Servicer such documents as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and the Owner hereby grants to the Servicer, and this Agreement shall constitute, a power of attorney to carry out such duties including a power of attorney to take title to Mortgaged Properties after foreclosure on in the name of the Servicer on behalf of the Owner and without reference to the Owner except as otherwise required by law. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Owner shall not be liable for the actions of the Servicer under such powers of attorney.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer shall not (i) permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan (except for (A) a reduction of interest or principal payments resulting from the application of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act or any similar state statutes or (B) as provided in Section 2.03, if the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or (ii) except as provided in Section 2.03, waive any prepayment penalty or premium.”

(h) Section 2.03 shall be deleted and replaced as follows:


11


“The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any applicable insurance policies insuring the Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property, follow such collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing and Accepted Servicing Practices, the Servicer may (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the Due Dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180 days; provided, that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Servicer shall make Monthly Advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 3.04 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements; provided that the Servicer shall not be obligated to make Monthly Advances which the Servicer determines to be Nonrecoverable Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer, consistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest, extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan or waive, in whole or in part, a prepayment penalty or premium), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the outstanding principal balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor (any and all such waivers, modifications, variances, forgiveness of principal or interest, postponements, or indulgences collectively referred to herein as “Forbearance”). The Servicer’s analysis supporting any Forbearance and the conclusion that any Forbearance meets the Accepted Servicing Practices shall be reflected in writing in the Servicing File. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Servicer may waive, in whole or in part, a prepayment penalty or premium only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver 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 penalty or premium and the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) such prepayment penalty or premium is not permitted to be collected by applicable federal, state or local law or regulation, (iii) the collection of such prepayment penalty or premium would be considered “predatory” pursuant to written guidance published or issued by any applicable federal, state or local regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and having jurisdiction over such matters, (iv) the enforceability thereof is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership or other similar laws relating to creditor’s rights generally or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment or (v) if the Servicer has not been provided with information sufficient to enable it to collect the prepayment penalty or premium. If a prepayment penalty or premium is waived other than as permitted in this Section 2.03, then the Servicer is required to pay the amount of such waived prepayment penalty or premium, by depositing such amount into the Collection Account as soon as possible after the date of payoff, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days from such date.”

(i) Section 12.05 shall be amended to include the following:

“(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 12.05, (i) in the event that during any calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) the Company services 5% or less of the mortgage loans in a Securitization Transaction, as calculated by the Master Servicer for such Securitization Transaction, or (ii) in any calendar year in which an annual report on Form 10-K is not required to be filed with respect to an issuing entity or Securitization Transaction, then, in each such event, the Company may, in lieu of providing an assessment of compliance and attestation thereon in accordance with Item 1122 of Regulation AB, provide (and cause each Subservicer and Subcontractor described in clause (a)(iii) above to provide) to the Depositor and the Master Servicer for such Securitization Transaction, by not later than March 1 of such calendar year, an Annual Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report. If the Company provides an Annual Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report pursuant to this subsection (c), then the certification required to be delivered by the Company (and its Subservicers and Subcontractors) pursuant to clause (a)(iv) above shall be in the form of Exhibit 11 attached hereto instead of Exhibit 6.
 
(j) Section 11.13 shall be deleted and replaced as follows:

“Section 11.13 Solicitation. From and after the related Transfer Date, the Servicer and the Owner agree that the Owner may take reasonable actions or permit or cause reasonable actions to be taken by its agents or affiliates (including the Servicer), or by any independent contractors on the Owner’s behalf, to personally, by telephone or mail, solicit the Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan for any reasonable purpose, including to refinance a Mortgage Loan, in whole or in part. It is understood and agreed that all rights and benefits relating to the solicitation of any Mortgagors and the attendant rights, title and interest in and to the list of such Mortgagors and data relating to their Mortgages (including insurance renewal dates) shall be transferred to the Owner pursuant hereto on the related Transfer Date and neither the Servicer nor the Owner shall take any action to undermine these rights and benefits. It is understood and agreed that promotions undertaken by the Owner or any affiliate of the Owner (including the Servicer) which are directed to the general public at large, including, without limitation, mass mailing, internet and e-mail solicitations, based in all instances, on commercially acquired mailing lists (which may not be targeted at the Mortgagors) and newspaper, radio and television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation under this Section. The Owner or any affiliate of the Owner (including the Servicer) may at its discretion implement general or targeted programs to solicit certain mortgagors of the mortgage loans, including the mortgage loans held by the issuing entity of a Securitization Transaction. Such programs will not specifically target the mortgage loans held by the issuing entity of a certain Securitization Transaction.”

13



(k) Exhibit 7 of the Servicing Agreement (“Servicing Criteria to be Addressed in Assessment of Compliance”) shall be replaced with Exhibit 6 hereto.

(l) Exhibit 7 attached hereto shall be added to the Servicing Agreement as Exhibit 11.
