Supplemental Interest Trust (a) A separate trust is hereby established (the “Supplemental Interest Trust”), the corpus of which shall be held by the Securities Administrator, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the Certificates. The Trustee shall have no duty or responsibility with respect to the Supplemental Interest Trust and shall have no liability to the Certificateholders or Swap Counterparty with respect to the Supplemental Interest Trust or the funds held in or distributed from the Supplemental Interest Account. On the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain in its name, a separate account for the benefit of the holders of the Certificates (the “Supplemental Interest Account”), into which the Depositor shall initially deposit $1,000. The Supplemental Interest Account shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including, without limitation, other moneys of the Securities Administrator held pursuant to this Agreement. (b) On each Distribution Date, prior to any distribution to any Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall deposit into the Supplemental Interest Account the amount withdrawn from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.11(b)(iii). The Securities Administrator shall deposit into the Supplemental Interest Account any amounts required to be paid to the Swap Provider pursuant to the preceding sentence and shall distribute from the Supplemental Interest Account any such amounts to the Swap Provider as required by Section 4.10 on each Swap Payment Date. The Securities Administrator shall deposit into the Supplemental Interest Account any Net Swap Payments received from the Swap Provider and shall distribute from the Supplemental Interest Account any such amounts to holders of the Certificates on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.10. (c) Funds in the Supplemental Interest Account shall remain uninvested. The Class C Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Supplemental Interest Trust for federal income tax purposes and the Holder thereof shall direct the Securities Administrator, in writing, as to investment of amounts on deposit therein. (d) Upon termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts remaining in the Supplemental Interest Account after payment of amounts owing to the Swap Provider shall be distributed pursuant to the priorities set forth in Section 4.10. (e) It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trust be disregarded as an entity separate from the holder for the Class C Certificates unless and until the date when either (a) there is more than one Class C Certificateholder or (b) any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class C Certificates is recharacterized as representing ownership of an equity interest in the Supplemental Interest Trust for federal income tax purposes. (f) The Securities Administrator is hereby directed, on or prior to the Closing Date, on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, to enter into and assume the obligations under the Swap Agreement with the Swap Provider for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates, in the form presented to it by the Depositor. The Depositor shall pay or cause to be paid on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust the payments, if any, owed to the Swap Provider as of the Closing Date under the Swap Agreement. The Securities Administrator shall not, individually or personally, have any liability to perform any covenant either express or implied contained in the Swap Agreement and under no circumstance shall the Securities Administrator be personally liable for the payment of any amounts payable by the Supplemental Interest Trust under the Swap Agreement or any expenses of the Supplemental Interest Trust or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Supplemental Interest Trust under the Swap Agreement.

Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by Trustee In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the master servicer (including termination due to a Master Servicer Event of Default), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume (or cause its designee or the successor master servicer for the Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 to assume) all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Master Servicer may have entered into, unless the Trustee elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 6.07.

The Master Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub- Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.
