CONVEYANCE OF TRUST FUND

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 2.01 Conveyance of Trust Fund.

Pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, each Seller sold, transferred, assigned, set over and otherwise conveyed to the Depositor, without recourse, all the right, title and interest of such Seller in and to the assets sold by it in the Trust Fund.

EMC has entered into this Agreement in consideration for the purchase of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and has agreed to take the actions specified herein.

The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Trustee for the use and benefit of the Certificateholders, without recourse, all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Trust Fund.

In connection with such sale, the Depositor has delivered to, and deposited with, the Trustee or the related Custodian, as its agent, the following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so assigned: (i) the original Mortgage Note, including any riders thereto, endorsed without recourse in blank or to order of “Citibank, N.A., as Trustee for certificateholders of SACO I Trust 2006-6, Mortgage-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-6,” and showing an unbroken chain of endorsements from the original payee thereof to the Person endorsing it to the Trustee, (ii) the original Mortgage and, if the related Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, noting the presence of the MIN and language indicating that such Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, which shall have been recorded (or if the original is not available, a copy), with evidence of such recording indicated thereon (or if clause (x) in the proviso below applies, shall be in recordable form), (iii) unless the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, the assignment (either an original or a copy, which may be in the form of a blanket assignment if permitted in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located) to the Trustee of the Mortgage with respect to each Mortgage Loan in the name of “Citibank, N.A., as Trustee for certificateholders of SACO I Trust 2006-6. Mortgage-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-6,” which shall have been recorded (or if clause (x) in the proviso below applies, shall be in recordable form), (iv) an original or a copy of all intervening assignments of the Mortgage, if any, with evidence of recording thereon, (v) the original policy of title insurance or mortgagee’s certificate of title insurance or commitment or binder for title insurance, if available, or a copy thereof, or, in the event that such original title insurance policy is unavailable, a photocopy thereof, or in lieu thereof, a current lien search on the related Mortgaged Property and (vi) originals or copies of all available assumption, modification or substitution agreements, if any; provided, however, that in lieu of the foregoing, the related Seller may deliver the following documents, under the circumstances set forth below: (x) if any Mortgage, assignment thereof to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof have been delivered or are being delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned in time to permit their delivery as specified above, the Depositor may deliver a true copy thereof with a certification by such Seller or the title company issuing the commitment for title insurance, on the face of such copy, substantially as follows: “Certified to be a true and correct copy of the original, which has been transmitted for recording”; and (y) in lieu of the Mortgage Notes relating to the Mortgage Loans identified in the list set forth in Exhibit I, the Depositor may deliver a lost note affidavit and indemnity and a copy of the original note, if available; 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 to the Trustee and the related Custodian a certification of a Servicing Officer to such effect and in such case shall deposit all amounts paid in respect of such Mortgage Loans, in the Master Servicer Collection Account or in the Distribution Account on the Closing Date. In the case of the documents referred to in clause (x) above, the Depositor shall deliver such documents to the Trustee or the related Custodian promptly after they are received. EMC shall cause, at its expense, the Mortgage and intervening assignments, if any, and to the extent required in accordance with the foregoing, the assignment of the Mortgage to the Trustee to be submitted for recording promptly after the Closing Date; provided that EMC need not cause to be recorded (a) any assignment in any jurisdiction under the laws of which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee delivered by EMC to the Trustee, the Custodians and each Rating Agency, the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan or (b) if 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 related Seller and its successors and assigns. In the event that either Seller, the Depositor or the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator gives written notice to the Trustee that a court has recharacterized the sale of the Mortgage Loans as a financing, EMC shall submit or cause to be submitted for recording as specified above each such previously unrecorded assignment to be submitted for recording as specified above at the expense of the Trust. In the event a Mortgage File is released to the Company or the related Servicer as a result of such Person having completed a Request for Release, the related Custodian shall, if not so completed, complete the assignment of the related Mortgage in the manner specified in clause (iii) above.

In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS® System, EMC 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 EMC to the Depositor and by the Depositor 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 further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Company or the Master Servicer to, 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 this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not delivered to the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf are and shall be held by or on behalf of the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. Any such original document delivered to or held by the Depositor, shall be delivered promptly to the Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf.

Whenever it is provided for in this Agreement that any document, evidence or information relating to a Mortgage Loan to be included in a Mortgage File be delivered or supplied to the Trustee, such delivery or supply shall be made to the appropriate Custodian pursuant to the related Custodial Agreement.

Section 2.02 Acceptance of the Mortgage Loans.

(a) Based on the Initial Certification received by it from the related Custodian, the Trustee acknowledges receipt of, subject to the further review and exceptions reported by the related Custodian pursuant to the procedures described below, the documents (or certified copies thereof) delivered to the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf pursuant to Section 2.01 and declares that it holds and will continue to hold directly or through a custodian those documents and any amendments, replacements or supplements thereto and all other assets of the Trust Fund delivered to it in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates. On the Closing Date, the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf will deliver one or more Initial Certifications, each in the form of Exhibit One to the Custodial Agreement, to the parties indicated on such exhibit confirming whether or not it has received the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan, but without review of such Mortgage File, except to the extent necessary to confirm whether such Mortgage File contains the original Mortgage Note or a lost note affidavit and indemnity in lieu thereof. No later than 90 days after the Closing Date, Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, review each Mortgage File delivered to it and execute and deliver to EMC, and the Master Servicer and, if reviewed by the related Custodian, to the Trustee, one or more Interim Certifications, each substantially in the form of Exhibit Two to the related Custodial Agreement. In conducting such review, the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf will ascertain whether all required documents have been executed and received and whether those documents relate, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B to this Agreement, as supplemented (provided, however, that with respect to those documents described in subclauses (iv) and (vi) of Section 2.01, such obligations shall extend only to documents actually delivered pursuant to such subclauses). In performing any such review, the Trustee and the related Custodian 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 related Custodian on its behalf finds any document constituting part of the Mortgage File not to have been executed or received, or to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B or to appear to be defective on its face, the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf shall include such information in the exception report attached to the Interim Certification. EMC shall correct or cure any such defect or, if prior to the end of the second anniversary of the Closing Date, EMC may substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Replacement Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03 or shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that such defect does not materially or adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan within 60 days from the date of notice from the Trustee of the defect and if EMC fails to correct or cure the defect or deliver such opinion within such period, EMC will, subject to Section 2.03, within 90 days from the notification of the Trustee purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of EMC to deliver the Mortgage, assignment thereof to the Trustee, or intervening assignments thereof with evidence of recording thereon because such documents have been submitted for recording and have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, EMC shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if EMC delivers such documents promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date.

(b) No later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf will review, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Mortgage Files and will execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to EMC, and the Master Servicer and, if reviewed by the related Custodian, to the Trustee, one or more Final Certifications, each substantially in the form of Exhibit Three to the related Custodial Agreement. In conducting such review, the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf will ascertain whether each document required to be recorded has been returned from the recording office with evidence of recording thereon and the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf has received either an original or a copy thereof, as required in Section 2.01 (provided, however, that with respect to those documents described in subclauses (iv) and (vi) of Section 2.01, such obligations shall extend only to documents actually delivered pursuant to such subclauses). If the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf finds any document with respect to a Mortgage Loan has not been 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, the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf shall note such defect in the exception report attached to the Final Certification and shall promptly notify EMC. EMC shall correct or cure any such defect or, if prior to the end of the second anniversary of the Closing Date, EMC may substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Replacement Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03 or shall deliver to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator to the effect that such defect does not materially or adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan within 60 days from the date of notice from the Trustee of the defect and if EMC is unable within such period to correct or cure such defect, or to substitute the related Mortgage Loan with a Replacement Mortgage Loan or to deliver such opinion, EMC shall, subject to Section 2.03, within 90 days from the notification of the Trustee, purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of EMC to deliver the Mortgage, assignment thereof to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof with evidence of recording thereon, because such documents have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, EMC shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan, if EMC delivers such documents promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to the custody or review of Mortgage Files, all of which shall be performed by the related Custodian pursuant to the related Custodial Agreement, and the Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to enter into each such Custodial Agreement. Performance by the Custodians of their obligations under the respective Custodial Agreement shall satisfy all responsibilities for custody and review of Mortgage Files hereunder. The Trustee shall have no liability for the failure of the Custodians to perform their respective obligations under the related Custodial Agreement.

(c) In the event that a Mortgage Loan is repurchased by EMC in accordance with subsections 2.02(a) or (b) above or Section 2.03, EMC shall remit the applicable Purchase Price to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account and shall provide written notice to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee detailing the components of the Purchase Price, signed by a Servicing Officer. Upon deposit of the Purchase Price in the Master Servicer Collection Account and upon receipt of a Request for Release with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the related Custodian will release to EMC 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 EMC title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan. Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the deposit into the Master Servicer Collection Account was made. The Securities Administrator shall promptly use its best efforts to notify each Rating Agency of such repurchase in accordance with Section 12.05. The obligation of EMC to cure, repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan as to which a defect in a constituent document exists shall be the sole remedies respecting such defect available to the Certificateholders or to the Trustee on their behalf.

(d) EMC shall deliver to the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf, and Trustee agrees to accept the Mortgage Note and other documents constituting the Mortgage File with respect to any Replacement Mortgage Loan, which the Trustee or the related Custodian will review as provided in subsections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b), provided, that the Closing Date referred to therein shall instead be the date of delivery of the Mortgage File with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan.

(v) No litigation is pending or, to the best of EMC’s knowledge, threatened, against EMC that would materially and adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this Agreement or the ability of EMC to sell the Mortgage Loans or to perform any of its other obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof.

(vi) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by EMC of, or compliance by EMC with, this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or if any such consent, approval, authorization or order is required, EMC has obtained the same.

(vii) With respect to each Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date (or such other date as may be specified in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement), EMC hereby remakes and restates each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to the Depositor and the Trustee to the same extent as if fully set forth herein.

(d) 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 and the Securities Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel if required by Section 2.05 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. 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 2.03, 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, the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator, 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 2.03.

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 2.05 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 2.03. 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.

(e) The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03 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 2.04 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor.

The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee as follows, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:

(i) The Depositor is duly organized and is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has full power and authority necessary to own or hold its properties and to conduct its business as now conducted by it and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Depositor, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms hereof and thereof are in the ordinary course of business of the Depositor and will not (A) result in a material breach of any term or provision of the certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement of the Depositor or (B) materially conflict with, result in a material breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a material default under, the terms of any other material agreement or instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it may be bound or (C) constitute a material violation of any statute, order or regulation applicable to the Depositor of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Depositor; and the Depositor is not in breach or violation of any material indenture or other material agreement or instrument, or in violation of any statute, order or regulation of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it which breach or violation may materially impair the Depositor’s ability to perform or meet any of its obligations under this Agreement.

(iv) No litigation is pending, or, to the best of the Depositor’s knowledge, threatened, against the Depositor that would materially and adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this Agreement or the ability of the Depositor to perform its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof.

(v) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of, or compliance by the Depositor with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or if any such consent, approval, authorization or order is required, the Depositor has obtained the same.

The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee as of the Closing Date, following the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to it by the Seller, the Depositor had good title to the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets, claims, defenses or counterclaims.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee or the related Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach of such representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others and to each Rating Agency.

Section 2.05 Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with Substitutions and Repurchases.

(a) 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 reasonably foreseeable, no repurchase or substitution pursuant to Sections 2.02 or 2.03 shall be made unless EMC delivers to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, to the effect that such repurchase or substitution would not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on “prohibited transactions” of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V or contributions after the Closing Date, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V 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 or 2.03) upon the earlier of (a) the occurrence of a default or a default becoming reasonably foreseeable with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (b) receipt by the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator 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.

(b) Upon discovery by the Depositor, EMC or the Master Servicer that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall promptly (and in any event within 5 Business Days of discovery) give written notice thereof to the other parties and the Trustee and the Securities Administrator. In connection therewith, EMC shall either (i) substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.03 with respect to substitutions are satisfied, a Replacement Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a breach of representation or warranty in accordance with Section 2.03. The Trustee shall reconvey to EMC the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto (and the related Custodian shall deliver the related Mortgage File) in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty in accordance with Section 2.03.

The Company shall service and administer the EMC Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and with customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan servicers in the respective states in which the related Mortgaged Properties are located. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Company shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through subservicers as provided in Section 3.03, to do or cause to be done any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and customary servicing practices in connection with such servicing and administration, including but not limited to, the power and authority, subject to the terms hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any related Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided herein), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries, and (iv) subject to Section 3.12, to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any EMC Mortgage Loan; provided that the Company shall take no action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund, or the Certificateholders or this Agreement in any EMC Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee under this Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company, in its own name or in the name of the Trust, the Depositor or the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trust, the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Company believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of them, 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 EMC Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the related Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Company shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by any or all of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Company to service and administer the EMC Mortgage Loans. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such documents and deliver them to the Company.

In accordance with the standards of the first paragraph of this Section 3.01, the Company shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties relating to the EMC Mortgage Loans, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 5.04, and further as provided in Section 5.02. All costs incurred by the Company, if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties relating to the EMC Mortgage Loans and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balance under the related EMC Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.

If the Mortgage relating to a Mortgage Loan had a lien senior to the Mortgage Loan on the related Mortgaged Property as of the Cut-off Date, then the Company may consent to the refinancing of the prior senior lien, provided that the following requirements are met:

(i) the resulting Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is no higher than the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio prior to such refinancing; and

(ii) the interest rate, or, in the case of an adjustable rate existing senior lien, the maximum interest rate, for the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien is no more than 2.0% higher than the interest rate or the maximum interest rate, as the case may be, on the loan evidencing the existing senior lien immediately prior to the date of such refinancing; and

(iii) the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien is not subject to negative amortization.

The Trustee shall furnish the Company and the related Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents in form as provided to it necessary or appropriate to enable the Company and the related Servicer to service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property, 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.

Section 3.02 Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.02, when any property subject to a Mortgage has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Company shall to the extent that it has knowledge of such conveyance, enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations, but only to the extent that such enforcement will not adversely affect or jeopardize coverage under any Required Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is not required to exercise such rights with respect to an EMC Mortgage Loan if the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed satisfies the terms and conditions contained in the Mortgage Note and Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage as a condition to such transfer. In the event that the Company is prohibited by law from enforcing any such due-on-sale clause, or if coverage under any Required Insurance Policy would be adversely affected, or if nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Company is authorized, subject to Section 3.02(b), to take or enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon, provided that the Mortgage Loan shall continue to be covered (if so covered before the Company enters such agreement) by the applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Company, subject to Section 3.02(b), is also authorized with the prior approval of the insurers under any Required Insurance Policies to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be deemed to be in default under this Section 3.02(a) by reason of any transfer or assumption that the Company reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing.

(b) Subject to the Company’s duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent set forth in Section 3.02(a), in any case in which a Mortgaged Property has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the related EMC Mortgage Loan, the Company shall prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee for signature and shall direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute the assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including, but not limited to, the Mortgage Rate, the amount of the Scheduled Payment and any other term affecting the amount or timing of payment on the EMC Mortgage Loan) may be changed. In addition, the substitute Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property must be acceptable to the Company in accordance with its servicing standards as then in effect. The Company shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original (and to the Master Servicer a copy) of such substitution or assumption agreement, which in the case of the original 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. Any fee collected by the Company for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Company as additional servicing compensation.

Section 3.03 Subservicers.

The Company 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 Company of a 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 each subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees of each subservicer from its own funds, and a subservicer’s fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee payable to the Company hereunder.

At the cost and expense of the Company, without any right of reimbursement from its Protected Account, the Company 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; 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 9.01, the Company shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of each 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 each subservicer from the Company’s own funds without reimbursement from the Trust Fund.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the EMC Mortgage Loans. The Company shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with a 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 EMC Mortgage Loans involving a subservicer shall be deemed to be between such subservicer and the Company alone, and neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to such subservicer including any obligation, duty or liability of either the Master Servicer or the Trustee to pay such subservicer’s fees and expenses. For purposes of remittances to the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have received a payment on an EMC Mortgage Loan when a subservicer has received such payment.

Section 3.04 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of the Company to Be Held for Trustee.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall transmit to the Trustee or the related Custodian on behalf of the Trustee as required by this Agreement all documents and instruments in respect of an EMC Mortgage Loan coming into the possession of the Company from time to time and shall account fully to the Master Servicer for any funds received by the Company or that otherwise are collected by the Company as Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries in respect of any such Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Company in respect of any EMC Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries, including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in the Protected Account maintained by the Company, shall be held by the Company for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Company also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the Company or in any Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of set off against any Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or in connection with, an EMC Mortgage Loan, except, however, that the Company shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Company under this Agreement.

All funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Company, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held by the Company for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Company under this Agreement.

Section 3.05 Optional Purchase of Certain Mortgage Loans.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan which as of the first day of a Fiscal Quarter is delinquent in payment by 90 days or more or is an REO Property, EMC shall have the right to purchase any such Mortgage Loan or REO Property from the Trust at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided however (i) that such Mortgage Loan is still 90 days or more delinquent or is an REO Property as of the date of such purchase and (ii) this purchase option, if not theretofore exercised, shall terminate on the date prior to the last day of the related Fiscal Quarter. This purchase option, if not exercised, shall not be thereafter reinstated unless the delinquency is cured and the Mortgage Loan thereafter again becomes 90 days or more delinquent or becomes an REO Property, in which case the option shall again become exercisable as of the first day of the related Fiscal Quarter.

In addition, EMC shall, at its option, purchase any Mortgage Loan from the Trust if the first Due Date for such Mortgage Loan is subsequent to the Cut-off Date and the initial Scheduled Payment is not made within thirty (30) days of such Due Date. Such purchase shall be made at a price equal to the Purchase Price.

If at any time EMC remits to the Master Servicer a payment for deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account covering the amount of the Purchase Price for such a Mortgage Loan, and EMC provides to the Master Servicer and Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the amount of such payment has been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account, then the Trustee shall execute the assignment of such Mortgage Loan prepared and delivered to the Trustee, at the request of EMC, without recourse, representation or warranty, to EMC which shall succeed to all the Trustee’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents relative thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. EMC will thereupon own such Mortgage, and all such security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect thereto.

Section 3.06 Release of Mortgage Files.

(a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Company or the related Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes for payment to Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date, the Company or a Servicer (pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement), as applicable, will (or if the Company or the related 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 G hereto signed by a Servicing Officer or Master Servicing Officer (as applicable) or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer or Master 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 Company pursuant to Article V or by the related Servicer pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement have been or will be so deposited) and shall request that the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, deliver to the Company or the related Servicer or the Master 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 Company, the Master Servicer or the related Servicer (as applicable) or the Master Servicer and the Trustee and Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, the Company or the related 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, representation or warranty) 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 Protected Account.

(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable, the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Trustee by the Company, the Servicer or the Master Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The related Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, pursuant to the related Custodial Agreement, upon the request of the Company, the Servicer or the Master Servicer, and delivery to the related Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, of two copies of a request for release signed by a Servicing Officer or Master Servicing Officer, as applicable, substantially in the form of Exhibit G (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer or Master Servicing Officer, as applicable), release the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the Company, the Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable. Such trust receipt shall obligate the Company, the Servicer or the Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, when the need therefor by such Person no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer or Master Servicing Officer, as applicable similar to that hereinabove specified, the Mortgage File shall be released by the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to the Company, the Servicer or the Master Servicer.

Section 3.07 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Company shall cause to be maintained, for each EMC Mortgage Loan, hazard insurance on buildings upon, or comprising part of, the Mortgaged Property against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the related Mortgaged Property is located with an insurer which is licensed to do business in the state where the related Mortgaged Property is located. Each such policy of standard hazard insurance shall contain, or have an accompanying endorsement that contains, a standard mortgagee clause. The Company shall also cause flood insurance to be maintained on property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any EMC Mortgage Loan, to the extent described below. Pursuant to Section 5.01, any amounts collected by the Company under any such policies (other than the amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or property thus acquired or amounts released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Company’s normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the Company. Any cost incurred by the Company in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders or remittances to the Securities Administrator for their benefit, be added to the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the EMC Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs shall be recoverable by the Company out of late payments by the related Mortgagor or out of Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section 5.02. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property is located at the time of origination of the related EMC Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special flood hazard area and such area is participating in the national flood insurance program, the Company shall cause flood insurance to be maintained with respect to such EMC Mortgage Loan. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the least of (i) the Stated Principal Balance of the related EMC Mortgage Loan, (ii) minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis or (iii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended.

In the event that the Company shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the EMC Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3.07, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause on terms substantially equivalent to those commercially available and maintained by comparable servicers. If such policy contains a deductible clause, the Company shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with the first sentence of this Section 3.07, and there shall have been a loss that would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Protected Account maintained by the Company the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. Such deposit shall be from the Company’s own funds without reimbursement therefor. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the EMC Mortgage Loans, the Company agrees to present, on behalf of itself and the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders claims under any such blanket policy.

Section 3.08 Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.

The Company shall prepare and present on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under the Required Insurance Policies relating to the EMC Mortgage Loans 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 Required Insurance Policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Company in respect of such Required Insurance Policies shall be promptly deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the Company upon receipt, except that any amounts that are to be applied upon receipt 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 its claims on the related EMC Mortgage Loan under the applicable Insurance Policy, need not be so deposited (or remitted).

Section 3.09 Books and Records.

The Company shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for the EMC Mortgage Loans which shall be appropriately identified in the Company’s computer system to clearly reflect the ownership of the EMC Mortgage Loans by the Trust. In particular, the Company shall maintain in its possession, available for inspection by the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee and shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee upon demand, evidence of compliance with all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations. The Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer, and any governmental or regulatory agency with jurisdiction over the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall have the right, upon reasonable advance notice to the Company, to inspect and examine the books and records of the Company. To the extent that original documents are not required for purposes of realization of Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, documents maintained by the Company may be in the form of microfilm or microfiche or such other reliable means of recreating original documents, including, but not limited to, optical imagery techniques so long as the Company complies with the requirements of Accepted Servicing Practices. During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable advance notice, make available a Servicing Officer to the Master Servicer for answering questions and responding to inquiries.

The Company shall maintain with respect to each EMC Mortgage Loan and shall make available for inspection by the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee the related servicing file during the time such EMC Mortgage Loan is subject to this Agreement and thereafter in accordance with applicable law.

Payments on the Mortgage Loans, including any payoffs, made in accordance with the related Mortgage File will be entered in the Company’s set of books and records no more than two business days after receipt and identification, and allocated to principal or interest as specified in the related Mortgage File.

Section 3.10 Custodians to Retain Possession of Certain Insurance Policies and Documents.

The related Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, shall retain possession and custody of the originals (to the extent available) of any certificate of insurance if applicable, and any certificates of renewal as to the foregoing as may be issued from time to time as contemplated by this Agreement. Until all amounts distributable in respect of the Certificates have been distributed in full and the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable otherwise has fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable, the related Custodian on behalf of 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 Company shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the related Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, upon the execution or receipt thereof the originals of any certificates of renewal, and such other documents or instruments that constitute portions of the Mortgage File that come into the possession of the Company from time to time.

Section 3.11 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 EMC Mortgage Loans and who handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the EMC 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 Company against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such fidelity bond shall also protect and insure the Company against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of an EMC Mortgage Loan which is not in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. No provision of this Section 3.11 requiring the fidelity bond and 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 Accepted Servicing Practices. The Company shall deliver to the Master Servicer annually (together with the Company’s Annual Statement of Compliance required under Section 3.16 hereof) a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance policy (along with a copy of such policy then in effect) 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 Master Servicer and the Trustee. The Company shall notify the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee in writing 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 Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders must be named as loss payees on the fidelity bond and as additional insured on the errors and omissions policy.

Section 3.12 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Determination of Excess Liquidation Proceeds and Realized Losses; Repurchases of Certain Mortgage Loans.

(a) The Company shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the EMC Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Company shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and the requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy; provided that the Company shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the EMC Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Protected Account maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 5.02). If the Company reasonably believes that Liquidation Proceeds with respect to any such EMC Mortgage Loan would not be increased as a result of such foreclosure or other action, such EMC Mortgage Loan will be charged-off and will become a Liquidated Loan. The Company will give notice of any such charge-off and related Final Recovery Determination to the Trustee and the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 5.03. The Company shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided that such costs and expenses shall be Servicing Advances and that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 5.02. If the Company has knowledge that a Mortgaged Property that the Company is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed- in-lieu of foreclosure is located within a one-mile radius of any site with environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the Company, the Company will, prior to acquiring the related Mortgaged Property, consider such risks and only take action in accordance with its established environmental review procedures.

With respect to any REO Property relating to an EMC Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (or the Trustee’s nominee on behalf of the Certificateholders). The Trustee’s name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Company shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references this Agreement and the Trustee’s capacity hereunder. 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 Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Company deems to be in the best interest of the Company and the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The Company shall prepare for and deliver to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator a statement with respect to each such 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 Securities Administrator to comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the Company no later than the close of business on each Determination Date. The Company shall perform 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 Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or reasonably foreseeable default on an EMC Mortgage Loan, the Company shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to three years after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or, at the expense of the Trust Fund, 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 Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator (such opinion not to be an expense of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator) to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such three-year period will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V to the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Company has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.

The decision of the Company to foreclose on a defaulted EMC Mortgage Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Company that the proceeds of such foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a proceeding. The income earned from the management of any Mortgaged Properties acquired through foreclosure or other judicial proceeding, net of reimbursement to the Company for expenses incurred (including any property or other taxes) in connection with such management and net of unreimbursed Servicing Fees, Advances, Servicing Advances and any management fee paid or to be paid with respect to the management of such Mortgaged Property, shall be applied to the payment of principal of, and interest on, the related defaulted EMC Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as though such Mortgage Loans were still current) and all such income shall be deemed, for all purposes in the Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the Protected Account maintained by the Company. To the extent the income received during a Prepayment Period is in excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the related EMC Mortgage Loan, such excess shall be considered to be a partial Principal Prepayment for all purposes hereof.

The Liquidation Proceeds from any liquidation of a related EMC Mortgage Loan, net of any payment to the Company as provided above, shall be deposited in the Protected Account upon receipt and made available on the next succeeding Determination Date following receipt thereof for distribution on the related Distribution Date, except that any Excess Liquidation Proceeds shall be retained by the Company as additional servicing compensation.

The proceeds of any Liquidated Loan, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of related Liquidation Proceeds or any income from a an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Company and the Master Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Master Servicing Fees and Servicing Fees, pursuant to Section 5.02 or this Section 3.12; second, to reimburse the Company and the Master Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances, pursuant to Section 5.02 or this Section 3.12; third, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount) on the EMC Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at the Net Mortgage Rate to the first day of the month in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fourth, as a recovery of principal of the EMC Mortgage Loan.

(b) On each Determination Date, the Company shall determine the respective aggregate amounts of Excess Liquidation Proceeds and Realized Losses, if any, for the related Prepayment Period.

(c) The Company has no intent to foreclose on any EMC Mortgage Loan based on the delinquency characteristics as of the Closing Date; provided, that the foregoing does not prevent the Company from initiating foreclosure proceedings on any date hereafter if the facts and circumstances of such EMC Mortgage Loans including delinquency characteristics in the Company’s discretion so warrant such action.

(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 such 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 P hereto which are indicated as applicable to the related Attesting Party.

Section 4.01 Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall, beginning on the Closing Date, supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the Company and the related Servicer to service and administer their respective Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, respectively 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. 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 the Company and the related Servicer as necessary from time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall receive and review certain reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by the Company and the related Servicer and shall enforce the obligations, conditions and covenants of the Company and related Servicer to the extent set forth in this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, respectively. The Master Servicer shall monitor the Company and the related Servicer’s servicing activities with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information described in the previous sentence and received by the Master Servicer on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Company’s, the Servicer’s and Master Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, the Master Servicer shall provide such information to the Securities Administrator as shall be necessary in order for it to prepare the statements specified in Section 6.06 and any other information and statements required hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Company and each Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, respectively. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Mortgage Loan data provided by the Company and the related Servicer and shall have no liability for any errors in such Mortgage Loan data.

The Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall provide access to the records and documentation in possession of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator regarding the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property to the 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law, neither the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator 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 Master Servicer’s, the Trustee’s or the Securities Administrator’s actual costs.

The Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company, the related Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other 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 4.02 Monitoring of Company and Servicer.

(a) In the review of the Company’s and the related Servicer’s activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon the Annual Statement of Compliance of the Company and the related Servicer with regard to such Person’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement; provided that no such reliance will relieve the Master Servicer of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that the Company or the related Servicer should be terminated in accordance with this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to this Agreement or the related 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.

(b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of the Company under this Agreement and of the related Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that the Company or the related Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance with this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights and obligations of such Person thereunder and act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or to instruct 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 shall be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such successor Servicer; provided further, if the Servicer or the Company has failed to advance or failed to make a payment so that the Master Servicer has had to advance its own funds, then the Master Servicer may terminate the Servicer or the Company. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of the related Servicing Agreement 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, 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, subject to its right of reimbursement pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, 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.

(c) To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer related to any termination of the Company or the related Servicer, appointment of a successor Servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with respect to this Agreement or the related 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 Company or the related Servicer as a result of an alleged or actual breach of contract or an event of default by such Person 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 this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the Company or 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 the Company and the related Servicer to comply with the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

(e) If the Master Servicer acts as a servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Company or the related Servicer, if any, that it replaces.

Section 4.03 Fidelity Bond.

The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall (i) 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 or (ii) self insure if LaSalle maintains with any Rating Agency the equivalent of a long term unsecured debt rating of “A”. The errors and omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond referred to in (i) above shall be in such form and amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers.

Section 4.04 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 XI 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 Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, 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 and Liquidation Proceeds, 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 4.02, shall not permit the Company or the related 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, would cause REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V 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, or failure to take action, will not cause REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V, as the case may be.

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, the Company or the related 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 10.11 hereof. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee.

Section 4.05 Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

To the extent provided in this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, to the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of the Company and the related Servicer to enforce such clauses in accordance with this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement.

(a) The Master Servicer shall transmit and the Company or the related Servicer (to the extent required by this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement) shall transmit to the Trustee or Custodian such documents and instruments coming into the possession of such Person from time to time as are required by the terms hereof, or in the case of the related Servicer, the related Servicing Agreement, to be delivered to the Trustee or Custodian.

The Master Servicer shall provide, and (to the extent provided in this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement) shall enforce the obligation of the Company and the related Servicer to provide, access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, and their respective agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, and to 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 or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Master Servicer, the Company and the related 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 under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement.

Section 4.07 Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.

The Master Servicer shall (to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement) enforce the obligation of the Company or 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 the Company or the related 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 upon receipt, except that any amounts that are to be applied upon receipt 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 its claims on the related EMC Mortgage Loan under the applicable Insurance Policy, need not be so deposited (or remitted).

On each Distribution Date, to the extent required, the Securities Administrator shall withdraw such amounts from the Reserve Fund to distribute to the Certificates in the following order of priority:

(i) first, (a) to each Class of Class A Certificates, on a pro rata basis, to pay Current Interest and any Interest Carry Forward Amount to the extent due to the interest portion of a Realized Loss, in each case to the extent not fully paid pursuant to Section 6.04(a)(1) and (b) any Unpaid Realized Loss Amounts for each such Class, based on the Certificate Principal Balances thereof;

(ii) second, sequentially to the Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3 and Class B-4 Certificates, in that order, to pay Current Interest to the extent not fully paid pursuant to Section 6.04(a)(1) and any Interest Carry Forward Amount to the extent due to the interest portion of a Realized Loss;

(iii) third, to pay first, to each Class of Class A Certificates, on a pro rata basis, based on the amount of Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amount for each such Class, and second, sequentially to the Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3 and Class B-4 Certificates, in that order, any Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amounts for such Distribution Date; and

(iv) fourth, to pay as principal to the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates as part of the Extra Principal Distribution Amount payable under Section 6.04(a)(2) until the Overcollateralization Target Amount has been reached, to the extent not paid from Excess Spread pursuant to Section 6.04(a)(3) for such Distribution Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts distributable pursuant to this clause (v) shall be limited to rebuilding overcollateralization to the extent overcollateralization has been reduced through Realized Losses.

(e) The Reserve Fund is an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) and shall be an asset of the Trust Fund but not an asset of any REMIC. The Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trust shall be the nominal owner of the Reserve Fund. The Class C Certificateholder shall be the beneficial owner of the Reserve Fund, subject to the power of the Securities Administrator to transfer amounts under Section 6.04. Amounts in the Reserve Fund shall, at the written direction of the Class C Certificateholder to the Securities Administrator, be invested in Permitted Investments that mature no later than the Business Day prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date. All net income and gain from such investments shall be distributed to the Class C Certificateholders, not as a distribution in respect of any interest in any REMIC, on such Distribution Date. In the absence of written instructions to the Securities Administrator, amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall remain uninvested. All amounts earned on amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be taxable to the Class -C Certificateholder. Any losses on such investments shall be deposited in the Reserve Fund by the Class C Certificateholder out of its own funds immediately as realized. The Swap Account, which is created and maintained by the Swap Administrator pursuant to the Swap Administration Agreement, is an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) and shall not be an asset of any REMIC created hereunder. The beneficial owner of the Swap Account is identified, and other matters relating to the Swap Account are addressed, in the Swap Administration Agreement.

(f) The Securities Administrator shall treat the Holders of Certificates (other than the Class C Certificates and Class R Certificates) as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the Holders of the Class C Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all Holders of Certificates (other than the Class C Certificates and Class R Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holder of the Class C Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the REMIC III Regular Interest corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class IO Distribution Amount”). A Class IO Distribution Amount payable from interest collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Certificates based on the excess of, with respect to each such Certificate, (i) the amount of interest otherwise payable to the REMIC III Regular Interest relating to such Certificate over (ii) the amount of interest payable to such Certificate at a per annum rate equal to the Net WAC Cap Rate, and a Class IO Distribution Amount payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the Holder of the Class C Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amounts with respect to the Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class C Certificates and Class R Certificates) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments to the Certificates from amounts deemed received in respect of this notional principal contract shall not be payments with respect to a Regular Interest in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment from the Certificates (other than the Class C Certificates and Class R Certificates) of a Class IO Distribution Amount shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the Holders of such Certificates in respect of their interests in REMIC III and as having been paid by such Holders to the Swap Administrator pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each Certificate (other than the Class R Certificates) shall be treated as representing not only ownership of a Regular Interest in REMIC III, but also ownership of an interest in, and obligations with respect to, a notional principal contract.

Section 4.15 Reserved.

Section 4.16 Tax Treatment of Class IO Distribution Amounts in the Event of Resecuritization of Class A, Class M or Class B Certificates.

In the event that any Class A, Class M or Class B Certificate is resecuritized in a REMIC (the “Resecuritization REMIC”), for federal income tax purposes, (i) payments on the REMIC III Regular Interest corresponding to such Class A, Class M or Class B Certificate shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be deemed to include the related Class IO Distribution Amount, and (ii) to the extent provided in the operative documents for the Resecuritization REMIC, (a) payments on the “regular interests” issued by the Resecuritization REMIC shall be deemed to include in the aggregate such Class IO Distribution Amount, and (b) such Class IO Distribution Amount shall be deemed paid to the Holder of the Class C Certificates pursuant to a notional principal contract entered into by the holders of one or more “regular interests” issued by the Resecuritization REMIC (“Resecuritization Holders”) and the Holder of the Class C Certificates. In such event, Class IO Distribution Amounts deemed paid by Resecuritization Holders under clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be paid on behalf of such holders pursuant to Section 4.14(c) hereof.

ARTICLE V

ACCOUNTS

Section 5.01 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Protected Account.

(a) The Company shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage lenders in the respective states in which the Mortgaged Properties related to the EMC Mortgage Loans are located to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the EMC Mortgage Loans to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Required Insurance Policy. Consistent with the foregoing, the Company may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge and (ii) extend the Due Dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note related to an EMC Mortgage Loan for a period not greater than 125 days, provided that, EMC shall not extend the payment date of any Mortgage Loan beyond the date of its final maturity date. In the event of any such arrangement, the Company shall make Advances on the related EMC Mortgage Loan during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such EMC Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements, and shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor in accordance with Section 6.01. The Company shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required is prohibited by applicable law. In addition, if (x) an EMC Mortgage Loan is in default or default is reasonably foreseeable or (y) the Company delivers to the Trustee, Securities Administrator and Master Servicer a certification addressed to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, based on the advice of counsel or certified public accountants, in either case, that have a national reputation with respect to taxation of REMICs, that a modification of such EMC Mortgage Loan will not result in the imposition of taxes on or disqualify from REMIC status any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V, the Company may if it reasonably believes that undertaking such actions would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders, (A) amend the related Mortgage Note to reduce the Mortgage Rate applicable thereto, provided that such reduced Mortgage Rate shall in no event be lower than 5.00% with respect to any EMC Mortgage Loan and (B) amend any Mortgage Note related to an EMC Mortgage Loan to extend to the maturity thereof; provided that, EMC shall not extend the payment date of any Mortgage Loan beyond its final maturity date.

In accordance with the standards of the first paragraph of Section 3.01, the Company shall not waive (or permit a sub-servicer to waive) any Prepayment Charge related to an EMC Mortgage Loan 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 collectability thereof shall have been limited due to acceleration 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 Company, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related EMC Mortgage Loan. If a Prepayment Charge is waived, but does not meet the standards described above, then the Company is required to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the related Class C Certificates, by remitting such amount to the Master Servicer by the Remittance Date. Payments of such waived charges shall not be payments in respect of any Regular Interest.

(b) The Company shall establish and maintain a Protected Account (which shall at all times be an Eligible Account) with a depository institution in the name of the Company for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and designated “EMC Mortgage Corporation, as servicer on behalf of Citibank, N.A., as Trustee, for the benefit of the certificateholders, in trust for registered holders of Bear Xxxxxxx Asset Backed Securities I LLC, Mortgage-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-6”. The Company shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Protected Account on a daily basis within one Business Day of receipt, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following payments and collections remitted by subservicers or received by it in respect of the EMC Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest due on the EMC Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date) and the following amounts required to be deposited hereunder:

(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the EMC Mortgage Loans;

(ii) all payments on account of interest on the EMC Mortgage Loans net of the related Servicing Fee permitted under Section 3.13, if any;

(iii) all Liquidation Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Insurance Proceeds with respect to any EMC Mortgage Loans, other than proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Company’s normal servicing procedures;

(iv) any amount required to be deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 5.01(c) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments;

(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 3.07;

(vi) any Prepayment Charges collected on the EMC Mortgage Loans; and

(vii) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.

The foregoing requirements for deposit by the Company into the Protected 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 or assumption fees, if collected, need not be deposited by the Company. In the event that the Company shall deposit any amount not required to be deposited and not otherwise subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 5.02, it may at any time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the Protected Account, to withdraw such amount from the Protected Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by delivering written notice thereof to the institution maintaining the Protected Account, that describes the amounts deposited in error in the Protected Account. The Company shall maintain adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in the Protected Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 5.02.

(c) The institution that maintains the Protected Account shall invest the funds in the Protected Account, in the manner directed by the Company, in Permitted Investments which shall mature not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. All income and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Company as servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly as provided herein. The amount of any losses incurred in the Protected Account in respect of any such investments shall be deposited by the Company into the Protected Account, out of the Company’s own funds.

(d) The Company shall give at least 30 days advance notice to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Seller, the Master Servicer, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of location of the Protected Account prior to any change thereof.

Section 5.02 Permitted Withdrawals From the Protected Account.

(a) The Company may from time to time make withdrawals from the Protected Account for the following purposes:

(i) to pay itself (to the extent not previously paid to or withheld by the Company), as servicing compensation in accordance with Section 3.13, that portion of any payment of interest that equals the Servicing Fee for the period with respect to which such interest payment was made, and, as additional servicing compensation, those other amounts set forth in Section 3.13;

(ii) to reimburse the Company for Advances made by it with respect to the Mortgage Loans, provided, however, that the Company’s right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii) shall be limited to amounts received on particular EMC Mortgage Loan(s) (including, for this purpose, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries) that represent late recoveries of payments of principal and/or interest on such particular EMC Mortgage Loan(s) in respect of which any such Advance was made;

(iii) to reimburse the Company for any previously made portion of a Servicing Advance or an Advance made by the Company that, in the good faith judgment of the Company, will not be ultimately recoverable by it from the related Mortgagor, any related Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or otherwise (a “Nonrecoverable Advance”), to the extent not reimbursed pursuant to clause (ii) or clause (v); provided that such reimbursement pursuant to this subclause shall be limited to amounts received from EMC Mortgage Loans from which such Servicing Advance was made;

(iv) to pay the Company any unpaid Servicing Fees and to reimburse it for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances, provided, however, that the Company’s right to reimbursement for Servicing Advances pursuant to this subclause (v) with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall be limited to amounts received on particular Mortgage Loan(s) (including, for this purpose, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and purchase and repurchase proceeds) that represent late recoveries of the payments for which any such Servicing Advances were made;

(v) to pay to EMC (in its capacity as Seller), the Depositor or itself, as applicable, with respect to each EMC Mortgage Loan or property acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03 or 3.05 of this Agreement, all amounts received thereon and not taken into account in determining the related Stated Principal Balance of such repurchased EMC Mortgage Loan;

(vi) to pay any expenses recoverable by the Company pursuant to Section 8.04 of this Agreement;

With respect to any remittance received by the Master Servicer from EMC after the date on which such remittance was due, EMC shall pay to the Master Servicer 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 that the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be remitted to the Master Servicer on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following the date on which such remittance was due and ending with the Business Day on which such remittance is made, both inclusive. The payment by EMC of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default with respect to EMC.

The Company shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Protected Account pursuant to subclauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v) and (vi) above. Prior to making any withdrawal from the Protected Account pursuant to subclause (iii), the Company shall deliver to the Master Servicer an Officer’s Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount of any previous Advance or Servicing Advance determined by the Company to be a Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the related EMC Mortgage Loan(s), and their respective portions of such Nonrecoverable Advance.

Section 5.04 Collection of Taxes; Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts.

With respect to each EMC Mortgage Loan, to the extent required by the related Mortgage Note, the Company shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (each, an “Escrow Account”) and deposit and retain therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or Servicing Advances by the Company) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require the Company to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law.

Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse the Company out of related collections for any payments made with respect to each EMC Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance premiums) and Section 3.07 (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors for any EMC Mortgage Loans any sums as may be determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to such Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account or to clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.01 thereof.

The income earned from Permitted Investments made pursuant to this Section 5.05 shall be paid to the Company or the related Servicer under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, and the risk of loss of moneys required to be distributed to the Certificateholders resulting from such investments shall be borne by and be the risk of the Company or the related Servicer, as the case may be.

Section 5.07 Permitted Withdrawals and Transfers from the Master Servicer Collection Account.

(a) The Master Servicer will make such withdrawals or transfers from the Master Servicer Collection Account as the Master Servicer has designated for such transfer or withdrawal pursuant to this Agreement. The Master Servicer may clear and terminate the Master Servicer Collection Account pursuant to Section 11.01 and from time to time remove amounts deposited in error.

(b) On an ongoing basis, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Master Servicer Collection Account to pay itself as provided in Section 4.09 and to pay any expenses, costs and liabilities recoverable by the Trustee, the Swap Provider, the Master Servicer, each Custodian or the Securities Administrator pursuant to Sections 4.02, 8.03, 8.04 (subject in each case to the Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses Cap), 9.05 and 10.05; provided however, that the Master Servicer shall be obligated to pay from its own funds any amounts which it is required to pay under Section 8.03(a).

(c) In addition, on or before each Distribution Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall remit to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account any Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

(d) No later than 3:00 p.m. New York time on each Distribution Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer will transfer all available funds on deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account with respect to the related Distribution Date to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account. In the event that the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited to the Distribution Account any amount not required to be credited thereto, the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of a written request therefor signed by a Master Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer, shall promptly transfer such amount to the Master Servicer, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 5.08 Distribution Account.

(a) The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain in the name of the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Distribution Account as a segregated trust account or accounts.

(b) All amounts deposited to the Distribution Account shall be held by the Securities Administrator in the name of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(c) The Distribution Account shall constitute an Eligible Account of the Trust Fund segregated on the books of the Securities Administrator and held by the Securities Administrator, 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 Securities Administrator (whether made directly, or indirectly through a liquidator or receiver of the Securities Administrator). The amount at any time credited to the Distribution Account may be, as directed by the Securities Administrator, held either uninvested or invested in the name of the Trustee, in such Permitted Investments as may be selected by the Securities Administrator on such direction which mature not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Distribution Date. Permitted Investments in respect of the Distribution Account shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity. 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 Securities Administrator. The Securities Administrator shall be permitted to 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 Securities Administrator shall deposit the amount of the loss in the Distribution Account from its own funds. With respect to the Distribution Account and the funds deposited therein, the Securities Administrator shall take such action as may be necessary to ensure that the 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.

Section 5.09 Permitted Withdrawals and Transfers from the Distribution Account.

ARTICLE VI

DISTRIBUTIONS AND ADVANCES

Section 6.01 Advances.

(a) The Company shall make an Advance with respect to any EMC Mortgage Loan and deposit such Advance in the Master Servicer Collection Account no later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Remittance Date in immediately available funds. The Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, shall be obligated to make any such Advance only to the extent that such advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Company or 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 Company or the related Servicer, as the case may be, shall deliver (i) to the Securities Administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders funds constituting the remaining portion of such Advance, if applicable, and (ii) to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, each Rating Agency, and the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the basis for such determination.

In lieu of making all or a portion of such Advance from its own funds, the Company may (i) cause to be made an appropriate entry in its records relating to the Protected Account that any Amounts Held for Future Distribution has been used by the Company in discharge of its obligation to make any such Advance and (ii) transfer such funds from the Protected Account to the Distribution Account. Any funds so applied and transferred shall be replaced by the Company by deposit in the Distribution Account, no later than the close of business on the Remittance Date immediately preceding the Distribution Account Deposit Date on which such funds are required to be distributed pursuant to this Agreement.

Each Servicer will discontinue making advances with respect to any Mortgage Loan that becomes 90 days delinquent. In addition, each Servicer must charge off a Mortgage Loan at the time such Mortgage Loan becomes 180 days delinquent unless such Servicer reasonably believes that it may be able to obtain a significant net recovery through foreclosure proceedings or other conversion of the related mortgaged property. Once a Mortgage Loan is charged off, the related Servicer will not be entitled to any additional servicing fee for such Mortgage Loan, except to the extent of any unpaid servicing fees and expenses which will be reimbursable from any recoveries on such Mortgage Loan, and the Mortgage Loan will be treated as a liquidated Mortgage Loan giving rise to a Realized Loss. If the related Servicer determines that a significant net recovery is possible through foreclosure proceedings or other liquidation of the related mortgaged property on a Mortgage Loan that becomes 90 days delinquent, the related Servicer may continue making advances on such Mortgage Loan.

The Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Protected Account for all Advances of its own funds made pursuant to this Section as provided in Section 5.02. The obligation to make Advances with respect to any EMC Mortgage Loan shall continue until such EMC Mortgage Loan is paid in full or the related Mortgaged Property or related REO Property has been liquidated or until the purchase or repurchase thereof (or substitution therefor) from the Trust Fund pursuant to any applicable provision of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.01.

(b) If the Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan that was due on a related Due Date and is delinquent other than as a result of application of the Relief Act and for which the Company or the related Servicer was required to make an Advance pursuant to this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement exceeds the amount deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account which shall be used for an Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account not later than the Distribution Account Deposit Date immediately preceding the related Distribution Date an amount equal to such deficiency, net of the Master Servicing Fee and the Servicing Fee for such Mortgage Loan except to the extent the Master Servicer determines any such Advance to be nonrecoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or future payments on the Mortgage Loan for which such Advance was made. Subject to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall continue to make such Advances through the date that the Company or the related Servicer is required to do so under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. If applicable, on the Distribution Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall present an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee (i) stating that the Master Servicer elects not to make an Advance in a stated amount and (ii) detailing the reason it deems the advance to be nonrecoverable. The Master Servicer may rely on any non-recoverability determination of the Company or any Servicer.

Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Article IX hereof, in the event the Master Servicer fails to make such Advance, then the Trustee, as Successor Master Servicer, shall be obligated to make such Advance, subject to the provisions of this Section 6.01.

Section 6.02 Compensating Interest Payments.

(a) In the event that there is a Prepayment Interest Shortfall arising from a voluntary Principal Prepayment in part or in full by the Mortgagor with respect to any EMC Mortgage Loan, the Company shall, to the extent of the Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date, remit to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Master Servicer Collection Account, as a reduction of the Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date, no later than the close of business on the Remittance Date immediately preceding such Distribution Date, an amount equal to such Prepayment Interest Shortfall; and in case of such deposit, the Company shall not be entitled to any recovery or reimbursement from the Depositor, the Trustee, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trust Fund or the related Certificateholders.

(b) The Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement to remit any required Compensating Interest to the Master Servicer Collection Account on the Remittance Date.

(c) The Master Servicer shall be required to remit to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account the amount of any Compensating Interest, to the extent of the Master Servicing Compensation for such Distribution Date, in the event the Company or the related Servicer is required to make such payment but fails to do so.

Section 6.03 REMIC Distributions.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing clause (a)(2), to the extent a Class IO Distribution Amount is payable from principal collections, Principal Distribution Amounts will be deemed paid to the most subordinate Class of Regular Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, and such amount will be paid pursuant to Section 4.14(f).

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, on any Distribution Date after the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balance of a Class of Class A, Class M or Class B Certificates has been reduced to zero, that Class of Certificates will be retired and will no longer be entitled to distributions, including distributions in respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls or Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amounts.

(b) In addition to the foregoing distributions, with respect to any Subsequent Recoveries, the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, shall deposit such funds into the Protected Account pursuant to Section 5.01(b)(iii).

The amount of any remaining Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the next highest payment priority, up to the amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 6.05, and so on. 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 Certificate Principal Balance of each Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective Percentage Interest.

(c) Subject to Section 11.02 hereof respecting the final distribution, on each Distribution Date the Securities Administrator shall make distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder has so notified the Securities Administrator at least 5 Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or, if not, by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 11.02 hereof respecting the final distribution, distributions with respect to Certificates registered in the name of a Depository shall be made to such Depository in immediately available funds.

(d) On or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the fourth Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date or as otherwise agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall deliver the Remittance Report to the Securities Administrator.

Section 6.05 Allocation of Realized Losses.

(a) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Securities Administrator on each Distribution Date as follows: first, to Excess Spread as part of the payment in respect of the Extra Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date; second, to the Class C Interest and Class C Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance or Uncertificated Principal Balance thereof, as applicable, has been reduced to zero; third, to the Class B-4 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class B-3 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Class B-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Class B-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Class M-6 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the Class M-5 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; ninth, to the Class M-4 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; tenth, to the Class M-3 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; eleveth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; twelfth, to the Class M-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero and thirteenth, to the Class A Certificates. All Realized Losses to be allocated to the Certificate Principal Balances of all Classes on any Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the actual distributions to be made on such date as provided above. All references above to the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates shall be to the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class immediately prior to the relevant Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by any Realized Losses, in each case to be allocated to such Class of Certificates, on such Distribution Date.

(b) Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class of Certificates or the Class C Interest on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance or Uncertificated Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated; any allocation of Realized Losses to the Excess Spread shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect of the Class C Interest and the Class C Certificates pursuant to clause (G) of Section 6.04(a)(3).

Once Realized Losses have been allocated to a Class of Class A, Class M or Class B Certificates, such amounts with respect to such Certificates will no longer accrue interest nor will such amounts in respect of interest be reinstated thereafter.

As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a “pro rata basis” among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an allocation on a pro rata basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each such Class of Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding Certificate Principal Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date. All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class of Certificates hereunder will be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.

(c) (i) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on each Distribution Date to REMIC I Regular Interest I-1-A through REMIC I Regular Interest I-45-B, starting with the lowest numerical denomination until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero; provided that, for REMIC I Regular Interests with the same numerical denomination, such Realized Losses shall be allocated pro rata between such REMIC I Regular Interests. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on each Distribution Date to the following REMIC II Regular Interests in the specified percentages, as follows: first, to Uncertificated Accrued Interest payable to REMIC II Regular Interest AA and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC II Interest Loss Allocation Amount (without duplication of shortfalls allocated pursuant to Section 1.02), 98.00% and 2.00%, respectively; second, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC II Principal Loss Allocation Amount, 98.00% and 2.00%, respectively; third, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest B-4 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest B-4 has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest B-3 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest B-3 has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest B-2 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest B-2 has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest B-1 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest B-1 has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-6 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-6 has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-5 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-5 has been reduced to zero; ninth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-4 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-4 has been reduced to zero; tenth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-3 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-3 has been reduced to zero; eleventh, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-2 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-2 has been reduced to zero; twelfth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-1 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-1 has been reduced to zero; and thirteenth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest A and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest A has been reduced to zero.

The Depositor covenants to the Securities Administrator that there will be no new issuance of securities backed by the same asset pool, so the Securities Administrator will only be responsible in (xxiii) above for reporting any pool asset changes, such as additions or removals of Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund.

The foregoing information and reports shall be prepared and determined by the Securities Administrator based solely on Mortgage Loan data provided to the Securities Administrator by the Master Servicer (in a format agreed to by the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer) no later than four (4) Business Days or as otherwise agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer prior to the Distribution Date.

The Securities Administrator will make such statement (and, at its option, any additional files containing the same information in an alternative format) available each month to the parties hereto, the Certificateholders and each Rating Agency via the Securities Administrator’s internet website. The Securities Administrator’s internet website shall initially be located at xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx. Assistance in using the website can be obtained by calling the Securities Administrator’s customer service desk at (000) 000-0000. Parties that are unable to use the above distribution option are entitled to have a paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the customer service desk and indicating such. The Securities Administrator shall have the right to change the way such statements are distributed in order to make such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the above parties and the Securities Administrator shall provide timely and adequate notification to all above parties regarding any such changes.

As a condition to access the Securities Administrator’s internet website, the Securities Administrator may require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer. The Securities Administrator will not be liable for the dissemination of information in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) The Securities Administrator’s responsibility for making the above information available to the Certificateholders is limited to the availability, timeliness and accuracy of the information derived from the Master Servicer, the Company and the related Servicers.

(2) On each Distribution Date, 100% of the Prepayment Charges deemed distributed on the REMIC I Regular Interests shall be distributed, pro rata, to the holders of the REMIC II Regular Interests (other than REMIC II Regular Interest IO), provided that such amounts shall not reduce the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC II Regular Interests.

(d) On each Distribution Date, interest shall be deemed payable from REMIC III to the holders of each REMIC III Regular Interest the ownership of which is represented by the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates at a pass-through rate equal to the lesser of (i) the Pass-Through Rate for the Corresponding Certificate determined without regard to the Net WAC Cap Rate and (ii) the Net WAC Cap Rate for the REMIC III Regular Interest the ownership of which is represented by the Corresponding Certificate for such Distribution Date, in each case on a principal balance equal to the Certificate Principal Balance of the Corresponding Certificate for such Distribution Date. For the avoidance of doubt, principal shall be payable to, and shortfalls, losses and prepayments shall be allocable to, the REMIC III Regular Interests the ownership of which is represented by the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates as such amounts are payable and allocable to the Corresponding Certificates.

(e) On each Distribution Date, an aggregate amount equal to the amounts distributed pursuant to Sections 6.04(a)(3)(C), (D) and (G) on such date shall be deemed distributed from REMIC III to REMIC IV in respect of the Class C Distribution Amount distributable to the Class C Interest, and 100% of the Prepayment Charges deemed distributed on the REMIC II Regular Interests shall be deemed distributed from REMIC III to REMIC IV in respect of the Class C Interest.

At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Securities Administrator. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate, and deliver the Certificates that the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of Transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of Transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

All Certificates surrendered for registration of Transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the Securities Administrator’s customary procedures.

(b) Subject to Subsection 7.07 and, in the case of any Global Certificate or Private 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 Securities Administrator maintained for such purpose, the Securities Administrator shall sign, countersign and shall deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, a new Certificate of a like Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, but bearing a different number.

(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 Securities Administrator shall register such transfer if the transferee has provided the Securities Administrator with a Rule 144A and Related Matters 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 and Related Matters Certificate as are sufficient to establish that it is a QIB.

(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 Securities Administrator a Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate or comparable evidence as to its QIB status.

(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 Securities Administrator 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.

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 Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator 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 Percentage 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.

(h) No Transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such Transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and such state securities laws. In the event that a Transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator in writing the facts (or shall be deemed to certify in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate) surrounding the Transfer by (x)(i) the delivery to the Securities Administrator by the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer of a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit D (the “Transferor Certificate”) and (ii) the delivery by the Certificateholder’s prospective transferee of (A) a letter in substantially the form of Exhibit E (the “Investment Letter”) if the prospective transferee is an Institutional Accredited Investor or (B) a letter in substantially the form of Exhibit F (the “Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate”) if the prospective transferee is a QIB or (y) there shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator that such Transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee. 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 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 and Related Matters Certificate as are sufficient to establish that it is a QIB. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for Transfer of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such Transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the Transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any certificate required by this Section 7.02 to be executed in connection with the transfer of any Certificate, and shall be entitled to presume conclusively the continuing accuracy thereof from time to time, in each case without further inquiry or investigation.

The Securities Administrator shall not be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with, or for otherwise monitoring or determining compliance with, the requirements or terms of the 1933 Act, applicable state securities laws, ERISA or the Code; except that if a Certificate is required by the terms of this Section 7.02 to be provided to the Securities Administrator by a prospective transferor or transferee, the Securities Administrator shall examine the same to determine whether it conforms substantially on its face to the applicable requirements of this Section 7.02 and that if an opinion of counsel is provided, the Securities Administrator shall examine the same to determine whether it meets the requirements hereof.

No Transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate or Class B-4 Certificate shall be made at any time unless either (i) the transferee of such Certificate provides a representation, or is deemed to represent in the case of a Global Certificate, to the Securities Administrator acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator to the effect that such transferee is not a Plan, or a Person acting on behalf of a Plan or using the assets of a Plan, or (ii) in the case of any such Certificate presented for registration in the name of a Plan, or a trustee of a Plan or any other person acting on behalf of a Plan, the Securities Administrator shall have received an Opinion of Counsel for the benefit of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer and on which they may rely, satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, to the effect that the purchase and holding of such Certificate are permissible under applicable law, will not result in any prohibited transactions under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Depositor to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Depositor, or (iii) in the case of a Class B-4 Certificate, the transferee provides a representation, or is deemed to represent in the case of the Global Certificate, or an opinion of counsel to the effect that the proposed transfer or holding of such Class B-4 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 XXX 00-00, XXX 00-00, XXX 00-0, XXX 95-60 or PTE 96-23 and (II) will not give rise to any obligation on the part of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan without the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel as described above shall be void and of no effect; provided that the restriction set forth in this sentence shall not be applicable if there has been delivered to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel meeting the requirements of clause (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph. Neither the Trustee, the Securities Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall be required to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with the transfer restrictions with respect to any ERISA Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, and neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall have any liability for transfers of any such Book-Entry Certificates made through the book-entry facilities of any Depository or between or among participants of the Depository or Certificate Owners made in violation of the transfer restrictions set forth herein. Neither the Trustee, the Securities Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 7.02(h) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement.

Each beneficial owner of a Class M Certificate or Class B Certificate (other than a Class B-4 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 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 or Xxxxx’x, 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 PTE 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTE 95-60 have been satisfied.

Neither the Trustee, the Securities Administrator nor the Master Servicer will be required to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with the transfer restrictions with respect to the Global Certificates. Any attempted or purported transfer of any Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 7.02 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, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer as a result of such attempted or purported transfer. Neither the Securities Administrator shall have any liability for transfer of any such Global 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. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that was in fact a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of a Plan at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became a Plan or Person acting on behalf of a Plan, all payments made on such ERISA Restricted Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Securities Administrator to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not a Plan or Person acting on behalf of a Plan.

(i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Securities Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.

(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Securities Administrator shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the Securities Administrator under subparagraph (b) above, the Securities Administrator shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a “Transfer Affidavit”) of the initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee.

(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 7.02(i) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 7.02(i), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Residual Certificate. Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall be under liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 7.02(h) and this Section 7.02(i) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Securities Administrator to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.

(v) The Master Servicer shall make available within 60 days of written request from the Securities Administrator, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee.

The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this Section 7.02(i) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring after delivery to the Securities Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Securities Administrator, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Seller or the Master Servicer to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions, or any Transfer of a Residual Certificate allowed by such elimination, will not cause REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V, as applicable, to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement that, based on an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Securities Administrator and furnished to the Securities Administrator, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.

(j) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above in this Section 7.02 shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer.

Section 7.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Securities Administrator, or the Securities Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and of the ownership thereof and (b) there is delivered to the Securities Administrator such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save the Securities Administrator and the Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Securities Administrator that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 7.03, the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 7.03 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. All Certificates surrendered to the Securities Administrator under the terms of this Section 7.03 shall be canceled and destroyed by the Securities Administrator in accordance with its standard procedures without liability on its part.

Section 7.04 Persons Deemed Owners.

The Securities Administrator, the Trustee and any agent of the Securities Administrator, 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 as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, nor any agent of the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Section 7.05 Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses.

If three or more Certificateholders, or in the case of Book-Entry Certificates, Certificate Owners (a) request such information in writing from the Securities Administrator, (b) state that such Certificateholders or Certificate Owners desire to communicate with other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the communication that such Certificateholders or Certificate Owners propose to transmit or if the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall request such information in writing from the Securities Administrator, then the Securities Administrator shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the Depositor, the Master Servicer or such Certificateholders or Certificate Owners at such recipients’ expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of the Trust Fund held by the Securities Administrator, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder and Certificate Owner, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Securities Administrator shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section 7.06 Book-Entry Certificates.

The Regular Certificates (other than the Class B-4 Certificates and Class C Certificates), upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to the Depository by or on behalf of the Depositor. Such Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the Depository or its nominee, and no Certificate Owner of such Certificates will receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner’s interest in such Certificates, except as provided in Section 7.08. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) have been issued to the Certificate Owners of such Certificates pursuant to Section 7.08:

(a) the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect;

(b) the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee may deal with the Depository and the Depository Participants for all purposes (including the making of distributions) as the authorized representative of the respective Certificate Owners of such Certificates;

(c) registration of the Book-Entry Certificates may not be transferred by the Securities Administrator except to another Depository;

(d) the rights of the respective Certificate Owners of such Certificates shall be exercised only through the Depository and the Depository Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between the Owners of such Certificates and the Depository and/or the Depository Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 7.08, the Depository will make book-entry transfers among the Depository Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the related Certificates to such Depository Participants;

(e) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants;

(f) the Securities Administrator may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants; and

(g) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section shall control.

For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Certificateholders evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of any Class of Certificates, such direction or consent may be given by Certificate Owners (acting through the Depository and the Depository Participants) owning Book-Entry Certificates evidencing the requisite percentage of principal amount of such Class of Certificates.

The Private Certificates shall initially be held in fully registered certificated form. If at any time the Holders of all of the Certificates of one or more such Classes request that the Securities Administrator cause such Class to become Global Certificates, the Depositor (with the assistance of the Securities Administrator) 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. If at anytime there are to be Global Certificates, the Global Certificates shall be delivered to the Depository by the Depositor or deposited with the Securities Administrator as custodian for the Depository.

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.

Section 7.07 Notices to Depository.

Whenever any notice or other communication is required to be given to Certificateholders of a Class with respect to which Book-Entry Certificates have been issued, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to the related Certificate Owners, the Securities Administrator shall give all such notices and communications to the Depository.

Section 7.08 Definitive Certificates.

If, after Book-Entry Certificates have been issued with respect to any Certificates, (a) the Depositor or the Depository advises the Securities Administrator that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities under the Depository Agreement with respect to such Certificates and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor or (b) the Depositor, with the consent of Depository Participants, advises the Securities Administrator that it elects to terminate the book-entry system with respect to such Certificates through the Depository, then the Securities Administrator shall notify all Certificate Owners of such Certificates, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to applicable Certificate Owners requesting the same. The Depositor shall provide the Securities Administrator with an adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon surrender to the Securities Administrator of any such Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Securities Administrator shall countersign and deliver such Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.

In addition, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Certificate Owner materially adversely affected thereby may at its option request a Definitive Certificate evidencing such Certificate Owner’s Voting Rights in the related Class of Certificates. In order to make such request, such Certificate Owner shall, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, provide the Depository or the related Depository Participant with directions for the Securities Administrator to exchange or cause the exchange of the Certificate Owner’s interest in such Class of Certificates for an equivalent Voting Right in fully registered definitive form. Upon receipt by the Securities Administrator of instructions from the Depository directing the Securities Administrator to effect such exchange (such instructions to contain information regarding the Class of Certificates and the Certificate Principal Balance being exchanged, the Depository Participant account to be debited with the decrease, the registered holder of and delivery instructions for the definitive Certificate, and any other information reasonably required by the Trustee), (i) the Securities Administrator shall instruct the Depository to reduce the related Depository Participant’s account by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the definitive Certificate, (ii) the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in accordance with the registration and delivery instructions provided by the Depository, a definitive Certificate evidencing such Certificate Owner’s Voting Rights in such Class of Certificates and (iii) the Securities Administrator shall execute and authenticate a new Book-Entry Certificate reflecting the reduction in the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates by the amount of the definitive Certificates.

Section 7.09 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Securities Administrator will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an office or offices or agency or agencies located at LaSalle Bank National Association, 000 Xxxxx XxXxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, Attn: Global Securities and Trust Services Group - SACO 2006-6, where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Securities Administrator initially designates its Corporate Trust Office, as the office for such purposes. The Securities Administrator will give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in such location of any such office or agency.

ARTICLE IX

DEFAULT; TERMINATION OF MASTER SERVICER; TERMINATION OF COMPANY

Section 9.01 Events of Default.

“Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events:

(i) any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Securities Administrator any amounts received or collected by the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans and required to be remitted by it hereunder (other than any Advance), 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 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

(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

(iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or all or substantially all of the property of the Master Servicer; or

(v) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of, or commence a voluntary case under, 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 Master Servicer assigns or delegates its duties or rights under this Agreement in contravention of the provisions permitting such assignment or delegation under Sections 8.05 or 8.07;

(vii) The Master Servicer fails to deposit or cause to be deposited in the Distribution Account any Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable Advance) by 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the first Business Day preceding the Distribution Date; or

(viii) failure by the Master Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Sections 3.16, 3.17 or 3.18 which failure continues unremedied at the end of the cure period set forth under such Sections.

If an Event of Default shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates or at the written direction of the Trustee shall in the case of any Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (vii) above, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer and the Swap Provider, with a copy to each Rating Agency may, terminate all of the rights and obligations (but not the liabilities) of the Master Servicer (and the Securities Administrator if the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same entity) under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) hereunder, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee, or any successor Master Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 9.02 (a “Successor Master Servicer” and, if applicable, “Successor Securities Administrator”). Such Successor Master Servicer shall thereupon if such Successor Master Servicer is a successor to the Master Servicer, make any Advance required by Article IV, subject, in the case of the Trustee, to Section 9.02. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the terminated Master Servicer and, if applicable, the terminated Securities Administrator, 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 any Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. Unless expressly provided in such written notice, no such termination shall affect any obligation of the Master Servicer to pay amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII or Article X. The Master Servicer and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the applicable Successor Master Servicer of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited to the Master Servicer Collection Account maintained pursuant to Section 5.05, or thereafter be received with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall promptly notify each Rating Agency of the occurrence of an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee.

Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan that was due prior to the notice terminating the Master Servicer’s rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion thereof to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to Section 5.02 and to receive any other amounts payable to the Master Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its activities hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default described in clause (vii) of this Section 9.01 shall occur, the Trustee 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 9.02 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 (vii) of this Section 9.01.

Section 9.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof the Trustee shall automatically become the successor to the Master Servicer with respect to the transactions set forth or provided for herein and after a transition period (not to exceed 90 days), shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to either (a) immediately assume the duties of the Master Servicer or (b) select a successor Master Servicer; provided, further, however that, pursuant to Article V hereof, the Trustee in its capacity as successor Master Servicer shall be responsible for making any Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer immediately upon the termination of the Master Servicer and any such Advance shall be made on the Distribution Date on which such Advance was required to be made by the predecessor Master Servicer. Effective on the date of such notice of termination, as compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all compensation, reimbursement of expenses and indemnification that the Master Servicer would have been entitled to if it had continued to act hereunder, provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for any acts or omissions of the Master Servicer, (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so under applicable law, (iii) responsible for expenses of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03 or (iv) obligated to deposit losses on any Permitted Investment directed by the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making Advances pursuant to Article VI or if it is otherwise unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency 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. Any Successor Master Servicer shall (i) be an institution that is a Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing, that has a net worth of at least $15,000,000, and (ii) be willing to act as successor servicer of any Mortgage Loans under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement with respect to which the Company or the original Servicer has been terminated as servicer, and shall have executed and delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, that contains an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer (other than any liabilities of the Master Servicer hereof incurred prior to termination of the Master Servicer under Section 9.01 or as otherwise set forth herein), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement, provided that each Rating Agency shall have acknowledged in writing that its rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or reduced as a result of such assignment and delegation. If the Trustee assumes the duties and responsibilities of the Master Servicer in accordance with this Section 9.02, the Trustee shall not resign as Master Servicer until a Successor Master Servicer has been appointed and has accepted such appointment. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, 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 Mortgage Loans or otherwise as it and such successor shall agree; provided that no such compensation unless agreed to by the Certificateholders shall be in excess of that permitted the Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other Successor Master Servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any monies, information, documents or records to it.

The costs and expenses of the Trustee in connection with the termination of the Master Servicer, appointment of a Successor Master Servicer and, if applicable, any transfer of master servicing, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of all master servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such master servicing data as may be required by the Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the master servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee or the Successor Master Servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively, to the extent not previously paid by the terminated Master Servicer, shall be payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.05 and shall not be subject to the cap on Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses.

Section 9.03 Notification to Certificateholders.

(a) Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency.

(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders and the Swap Provider notice of each such Event of Default hereunder actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

Section 9.04 Waiver of Defaults.

The Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders and the Swap Provider, 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 hereunder known to the Trustee. The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the Voting Rights may, on behalf of all Certificateholders, 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 of any required remittances to the Securities Administrator. 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 each Rating Agency.

(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 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) the Company attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder or the Company attempts 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

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.11, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 10.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 10.09.

Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(i) All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee under this Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Master Servicer, shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether a Trustee hereunder or as a Successor 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 Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

(ii) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

(iii) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article X. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Master Servicer and the Depositor.

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co- trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

Section 10.12 Tax Matters.

It is intended that the Trust Fund shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Trust Fund shall be conducted so that each REMIC formed hereunder qualifies as, a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Securities Administrator covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Securities Administrator is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of the Trust Fund. The Securities Administrator, as agent on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall do or refrain from doing, as applicable, the following: (a) the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Returns (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to each such REMIC containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) the Securities Administrator shall apply for an employer identification number with the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other comparable method for each REMIC that is or becomes a taxable entity, and within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the Person that the Holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code for the Trust Fund; (c) the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall make, or cause to be made elections, on behalf of each REMIC formed hereunder to be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return of such REMIC for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law); (d) the Securities Administrator shall prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount using the Prepayment Assumption; (e) the Securities Administrator shall provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax); (f) each of the Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall, to the extent under its control, conduct the affairs of the Trust Fund at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of each REMIC formed hereunder as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g) neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any REMIC formed hereunder; (h) the Securities Administrator shall pay, from the sources specified in the penultimate paragraph of this Section 10.12, the amount of any federal, state and local taxes, including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on any REMIC formed hereunder prior to the termination of the Trust Fund when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Securities Administrator or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Securities Administrator from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) the Trustee shall sign or cause to be signed federal, state or local income tax or information returns or any other document prepared by the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section 10.12 requiring a signature thereon by the Trustee; (j) the Securities Administrator shall maintain records relating to each REMIC formed hereunder including but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities of each such REMIC and adjusted basis of the Trust Fund property determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information; (k) the Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to the REMICs on a calendar year and on an accrual basis; (l) none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator shall enter into any arrangement not otherwise provided for in this Agreement by which the REMICs will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit the REMICs 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; and (l) as and when necessary and appropriate, the Securities Administrator, at the expense of the Trust Fund, shall represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any REMIC formed hereunder, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of the Trust Fund, and otherwise act on behalf of each REMIC formed hereunder in relation to any tax matter involving any such REMIC.

In order to enable each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator within 10 days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may, from time to time, request in order to enable the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, on a timely basis.

In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including, without limitation, any federal, state or local tax or minimum tax imposed upon any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V, and is not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, if any such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator of any of its obligations under this Agreement, provided, however, in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any losses other than arising out of a negligent performance by the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator of its duties and obligations set forth herein, or (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates), (ii) any party hereto (other than the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator) to the extent any such tax arises out of or results from a breach by such other party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or (iii) in all other cases, or in the event that any liable party hereto fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), the following Certificateholders in the following manner: any such tax will be paid first with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Class R Certificateholders (pro rata) 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 B-4 Certificates, second, to the Class B-3 Certificates, third, to the Class B-2 Certificates, fourth, to the Class B-1 Certificates, fifth, to the the Class M-6 Certificates, sixth, to the Class M-5 Certificates, seventh, to the Class M-4 Certificates, eighth, to the Class M-3 Certificates, ninth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, tenth, to the Class M-1 Certificates, and eleventh, to the Class A Certificates.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that any taxes described in the preceding paragraph are payable by the Holder of any Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates), the Securities Administrator is hereby authorized to retain on any Distribution Date from the Holders of the Class R Certificates (and, if necessary, second, from the Holders of the other Certificates in the priority specified in the preceding paragraph), funds otherwise distributable to such Holders in an amount sufficient to pay such taxes. The Securities Administrator shall promptly notify in writing the party liable for any such tax of the amount thereof and the due date for the payment thereof.

The Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator each agree that, in the event it should obtain any information necessary for the other party to perform its obligations pursuant to this Section 10.12, it will promptly notify and provide such information to such other party.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the preparation and filing of tax returns in the event that the right to receive payments in respect of Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amounts could be treated as a partnership among the Holders of the Class A, Class M, Class B and Class C Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall not be required to prepare and file partnership tax returns on behalf of the Trust Fund or portion thereof unless it receives additional reasonable compensation for the preparation of such filings and written notification from either an officer or tax counsel for the Depositor recognizing the creation of a partnership for federal income tax purposes.

Section 10.13 REMIC-Related Covenants.

For as long as each REMIC shall exist, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall act in accordance herewith to assure continuing treatment of such REMIC as a REMIC, and the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall comply with any directions of the Seller, the Company, the Servicer or the Master Servicer to assure such continuing treatment. In furtherance, but not in limitation, of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall (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 and the Securities Administrator has received a REMIC Opinion addressed to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee and the Securities Administrator prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund; and (b) other than with respect to a substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.03 of this Agreement, as applicable, accept any contribution to any REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt of a REMIC Opinion.

Section 11.01 Termination upon Liquidation or Repurchase of all Mortgage Loans.

Subject to Section 11.03, the obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Seller and the Trustee created hereby with respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the purchase by the Majority Class C Certificateholder of all of the Mortgage Loans (and related REO Properties) remaining in the Trust Fund at a price (the “Mortgage Loan Purchase Price”) equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the Stated Principal Balance of each related Mortgage Loan (other than in respect of REO Property), (ii) accrued interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate to, but not including, the first day of the month of such purchase, (iii) the appraised value of any REO Property in the Trust Fund (up to the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan), such appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the related servicer and the Trustee and (iv) unreimbursed out-of pocket costs of the Company, the Servicers or the Master Servicer, including unreimbursed Servicing Advances and the principal portion of any unreimbursed Advances made on the Mortgage Loans prior to the exercise of such repurchase right (v) any unreimbursed costs and expenses of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator payable pursuant to Section 10.05 and (vi) any Swap Termination Payment (which shall include any Net Swap Payment payable by the Trust Fund for the final Distribution Date) payable to the Swap Provider which remains unpaid or which is due to the exercise of such option (the “Swap Optional Termination Payment”) and (b) the later of (i) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property and (ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement. In no event shall the Trust Fund created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

The right to repurchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties by the Majority Class C Certificateholder pursuant to clause (a) in the preceding paragraph shall be conditioned upon the Stated Principal Balance of all of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund, at the time of any such repurchase, aggregating 20% or less of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all of the Mortgage Loans.

Only an amount equal to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Price less any Swap Optional Termination Payment (the “REMIC Termination Payment”) shall be made available for distribution to the Regular Certificates. Any Swap Optional Termination Payment paid as part of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Price and deposited into the Distribution Account shall be withdrawn by the Securities Administrator from the Distribution Account and remitted to the Supplemental Interest Trust to be paid in accordance with Section 4.14(c). The Swap Optional Termination Payment shall not be part of any REMIC and shall not be paid into any account which is part of any REMIC.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 8.03 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.02 Final Distribution on the Certificates.

If on any Determination Date, (i) the Master Servicer determines that there are no related Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the funds in the Master Servicer Collection Account, the Master Servicer shall direct the Securities Administrator to send a final distribution notice promptly to each related Certificateholder or (ii) the Securities Administrator determines that a Class of Certificates shall be retired after a final distribution on such Class, the Securities Administrator shall notify the related Certificateholders within five (5) Business Days after such Determination Date that the final distribution in retirement of such Class of Certificates is scheduled to be made on the immediately following Distribution Date. Any final distribution made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the Corporate Office of the Securities Administrator. If the Majority Class C Certificateholder, elects to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 11.01, at least 20 days prior to the date notice is to be mailed to the Certificateholders, the Majority Class C Certificateholder, shall notify the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Swap Provider of the date the Majority Class C Certificateholder, intends to terminate the Trust Fund. The Master Servicer shall remit the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Price to the Securities Administrator on the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date for such Optional Termination by the Majority Class C Certificateholder, as applicable.

Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the Distribution Date on which related Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Securities Administrator by letter to Certificateholders mailed not later than two Business Days after the Determination Date in the month of such final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates shall be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount of such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made and (d) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein specified. The Securities Administrator will give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.

In the event such notice is given, the Master Servicer shall cause all funds in the Master Servicer Collection Account to be remitted to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account on the Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in respect of the Certificates. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund and the receipt by the Custodian of a Request for Release therefor, the Custodian shall promptly release to the Master Servicer, as applicable the Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans and the Trustee shall execute and deliver any documents prepared and delivered to it which are necessary to transfer any REO Property.

Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders of each Class in accordance with the Remittance Report the amounts allocable to such Certificates held in the Distribution Account in the order and priority set forth in Section 6.04 hereof on the final Distribution Date and in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Securities Administrator shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year after the second notice all related Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the related Residual Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund that remain subject hereto.

Section 11.03 Additional Termination Requirements.

(a) Upon exercise by the Majority Class C Certificateholder, of its purchase option as provided in Section 11.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, at the expense of the Majority Class C Certificateholder, to the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this Section 11.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of a REMIC, or (ii) cause a REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:

(1) The Majority Class C Certificateholder shall establish a 90-day liquidation period for REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV and REMIC V and notify the Trustee and Securities Administrator thereof, and the Securities Administrator shall in turn specify the first day of such period in a statement attached to the tax returns for REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV and REMIC V pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.860F-1. The Majority Class C Certificateholder shall satisfy all the requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder with respect to each REMIC related to the terminated Trust Fund, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee obtained at the expense of the Majority Class C Certificateholder;

(2) During such 90-day liquidation period, and at or prior to the time of making the final payment on the Certificates, the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of REMIC I for cash; and

(3) At the time of the making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates all cash on hand (other than cash retained to meet claims), and REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV and REMIC V shall terminate at that time.

(4) By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby authorize the adoption of a 90-day liquidation period and plan of complete liquidation for each related REMIC, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor Certificateholders.

(5) The Securities Administrator, as agent for each REMIC, 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 Majority Class C Certificateholder and the receipt of the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 11.03(a)(1), and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Majority Class C Certificateholder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Certificateholders, the parties hereto may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or appropriate to maintain the qualification of any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V as a REMIC under the Code or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V pursuant to the Code that would be a claim against any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V at any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates, provided that the Trustee, the Securities Administrator have been provided an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such action is necessary or appropriate to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax.

This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties hereto with the consent of the Holders of each Class of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of 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 Holders of Certificates; provided that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) cause any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V to cease to qualify as a REMIC or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates of each Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such amendment but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, to the effect that such amendment will not (other than an amendment pursuant to clause (ii) of, and in accordance with, the preceding paragraph) cause the imposition of any tax on any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V or the Certificateholders or cause any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V to cease to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. Further, nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to the Trustee (i) that such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and (ii) that all requirements for amending this Agreement (including any consent of the applicable Certificateholders) have been complied with.

Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 12.01, none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Company, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall (i) enter into any amendment to this Agreement that could have an adverse effect on the rights of the Swap Provider under Section 4.14, Section 4.15, Section 6.04(a)(3)(F), Section 6.04(b)(3)(F) or Section 11.01 of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Swap Provider, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or (ii) enter into any amendment that could have a materially adverse effect on the Swap Provider without the prior written consent of the Swap Provider, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder, the Swap Provider and each Rating Agency.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.

Section 12.02 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all of 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 Master Servicer shall effect such recordation at the Trust’s expense 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.

For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 12.03 Governing Law.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAWS).

Section 12.04 Intention of Parties.

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, assignments of Mortgages, title insurance policies and any modifications, extensions and/or assumption agreements and private mortgage insurance policies relating to the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Depositor, and by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof to the Depositor or the Trustee, as applicable. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge thereof by each Seller to the Depositor, or by the Depositor to the Trustee. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the property of the Seller or the Depositor, as applicable, or if for any other reason the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in such assets, then (i) the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement shall each be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the conveyance provided for in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement from the Seller to the Depositor, and the conveyance provided for in this Agreement from the Depositor to the Trustee, shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Seller or the Depositor, as applicable, for the benefit of the Certificateholders of a security interest in all of the assets that constitute the Trust Fund, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

The Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the assets of the Trust Fund, 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 Agreement.

Section 12.05 Notices.

(a) The Securities Administrator shall use its best efforts to promptly provide notice to each Rating Agency and the Swap Provider with respect to each of the following of which a Responsible Officer of the Securities Administrator has actual knowledge:

(i) Any material change or amendment to this Agreement;

(ii) The occurrence of any Event of Default that has not been cured;

(iii) The resignation or termination of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee and the appointment of any successor;

MORTGAGE-BACKED CERTIFICATE

evidencing a Percentage Interest in the distributions allocable to the Class [A Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of certain fixed rate, junior lien one- to four-family mortgage loans sold by BEAR XXXXXXX ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC.

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Bear Xxxxxxx Asset Backed Securities I LLC, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator 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 Bear Xxxxxxx Asset Backed Securities I LLC, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of Bear Xxxxxxx Asset Backed Securities I LLC, 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 Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”) generally consisting of conventional, closed-end, second lien, fixed rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four- family residences (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Bear Xxxxxxx Asset Backed Securities I LLC (“BSABS I”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) to BSABS I. LaSalle Bank National Association will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (in that capacity, 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 BSABS I, as depositor (the “Depositor”), EMC Mortgage Corporation as sponsor and company, LaSalle Bank National Association, as Master Servicer and securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”) and Citibank, N.A., 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 from and including the immediately preceding Distribution Date (or with respect to the First Distribution Date, the Closing Date) to and including the day prior to the current Distribution Date on the Certificate Principal Balance hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate set forth above. The Securities Administrator 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 so long as such Certificate remains in book-entry form (and otherwise, the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month of such Distribution Date), an amount equal to the product of the Percentage 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 following the latest scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan.

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator in writing as specified in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose and designated in such notice. The initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate is set forth above. The Certificate Principal Balance 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 neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator is 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 Securities Administrator and the Trustee.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of each Class of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes. Any such consent by the 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 Securities Administrator upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Securities Adminstrator for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Adminstrator 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 Percentage 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 Percentage 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 Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator, 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 Securities Administrator, 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 (A) the maturity or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (B) 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 first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to a certain percentage of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date as set forth in the Agreement. 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 expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date (as defined in the Agreement).

Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

evidencing a Percentage Interest in the distributions allocable to the Class C Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of certain fixed rate, junior lien one- to four-family mortgage loans sold by BEAR XXXXXXX ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC.

This certifies that ______________ is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”) generally consisting of conventional, closed-end, second lien, fixed rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four- family residences (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Bear Xxxxxxx Asset Backed Securities I LLC (“BSABS I”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) to BSABS I. LaSalle Bank National Association will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (in that capacity, 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 BSABS I, as depositor (the “Depositor”), EMC Mortgage Corporation as sponsor and company, LaSalle Bank National Association, as Master Servicer and securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”) and Citibank, N.A., 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 Securities Administrator 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 day (or if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such last day) of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the Distribution Date occurs, an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amounts required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate.

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the Securities Administrator shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit D and either Exhibit E or Exhibit F, as applicable, and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, or the Master Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. Neither the Depositor, the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Seller and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

No transfer of this Class [_]-C Certificate will be made unless the Securities Administrator shall have received either (i) the opinion of counsel set forth in Section 7.02(h) of the Agreement or (ii) a representation letter under Section 7.02 of the Agreement, in the form as described by the Agreement, stating that the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a “Plan”), or any other person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with “plan assets” of any Plan.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of each Class of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes. 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 Securities Administrator upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Securities Administrator for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator 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 Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.

Re:	SACO I Trust 2006-6, Mortgage-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-6 (the “Certificates”), including the Class [__] Certificates (the “Privately Offered Certificates”)

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with our purchase of Privately Offered Certificates, we confirm that:

(i)	we understand that the Privately Offered Certificates are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, and are being sold to us in a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of such laws;
(ii)	any information we desired concerning the Certificates, including the Privately Offered Certificates, the trust in which the Certificates represent the entire beneficial ownership interest (the “Trust”) or any other matter we deemed relevant to our decision to purchase Privately Offered Certificates has been made available to us;
(iii)	we are able to bear the economic risk of investment in Privately Offered Certificates; we are an institutional “accredited investor” as defined in Section 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Act and a sophisticated institutional investor;
(iv)	we are acquiring Privately Offered Certificates for our own account, not as nominee for any other person, and not with a present view to any distribution or other disposition of the Privately Offered Certificates;
(v)	we agree the Privately Offered Certificates must be held indefinitely by us (and may not be sold, pledged, hypothecated or in any way disposed of) unless subsequently registered under the Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws is available;
(vi)	we agree that in the event that at some future time we wish to dispose of or exchange any of the Privately Offered Certificates (such disposition or exchange not being currently foreseen or contemplated), we will not transfer or exchange any of the Privately Offered Certificates unless:
	(A) (1) the sale is to an Eligible Purchaser (as defined below), (2) if required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below) a letter to substantially the same effect as either this letter or, if the Eligible Purchaser is a Qualified Institutional Buyer as defined under Rule 144A of the Act, the Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below) (or such other documentation as may be acceptable to the Trustee) is executed promptly by the purchaser and delivered to the addressees hereof and (3) all offers or solicitations in connection with the sale, whether directly or through any agent acting on our behalf, are limited only to Eligible Purchasers and are not made by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising whatsoever; and
	(B) if the Privately Offered Certificate is not registered under the Act (as to which we acknowledge you have no obligation), the Privately Offered Certificate is sold in a transaction that does not require registration under the Act and any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and, if LaSalle Bank National Association. (the “Securities Administrator”) so requests, a satisfactory Opinion of Counsel is furnished to such effect, which Opinion of Counsel shall be an expense of the transferor or the transferee;

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 Schedule A attached hereto (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”) 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 and the related Mortgage Loan is not a MERS Loan or the Custodian has not received written instructions from the related Seller or the Trustee that the related Mortgaged Properties are located in jurisdictions under the laws of which the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s interest therein, each such assignment shall be delivered by the Custodian to the related Seller for the purpose of recording it in the appropriate public office for real property records, and the Sponsor, 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) The documents set forth in the definition “Mortgage File” herein shall be delivered and released to the Custodian relating to each of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased on a Closing Date. The related Mortgage Loans shall be identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule in electronic format which shall be delivered to the Custodian by the Depositor at least two Business Days prior to each Closing Date. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver to EMC, 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 thereafter, the Custodian agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders to review each such document, and shall deliver to EMC, 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 and deliver to the Sponsor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Three evidencing whether each document required to be recorded has been returned from the recording office with evidence of recording thereon and the Custodian has received either an original or a copy thereof. If the Custodian finds any document missing, or to be unrelated, determined on the basis of the mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the mortgage loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule or to appear defective on its face, the Custodian shall note such defect in the exception report attached to the Final Certification and shall promptly notify the Trustee.

(d) In reviewing the Mortgage Files as provided herein, 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.

In performing any such review, the Custodian may conclusively rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon.

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. Custodian to Cooperate: Release of Mortgage Files. Upon receipt of written notice per Exhibit Four or Electronic Release Request per Exhibit Five from the Trustee that EMC has repurchased a Mortgage Loan 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 paid as required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then the Custodian agrees to promptly release to EMC the related Mortgage File.

Upon the Custodian’s receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicer substantially in the form of Exhibit Four attached hereto or Electronic Release Request per Exhibit Five, 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 Company or 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 the Custodial Agreement the Mortgage Note and other documents constituting the Mortgage File with respect to any Replacement Mortgage Loan.

From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release per Exhibit Four or Electronic Release Request per Exhibit Five requesting that possession of all of the Mortgage File be released to the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, and certifying as to the reason for such release. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File to the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable. All Mortgage Files so released to the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, shall be held by it in trust for the Trustee for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, shall cause each Mortgage File or any document therein so released to be returned to the Custodian when the need therefore by the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, no longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated, 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 Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, 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 Company or the related Servicer is required to deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release, the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver two copies of the Request for Release if delivered in hard copy or the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, 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 accompanied by an assignment of mortgage, without recourse, representation or warranty from the Trustee to EMC (unless such Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan) and the related Mortgage Note shall be endorsed without recourse, representation or warranty by the Trustee (unless such Mortgage Loans is registered on the MERS System) and be returned to EMC. 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 Company or the related Servicer, as applicable.

Section 2.5. 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, to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, shall enforce any obligation of the related Servicer, to the extent set forth in the Servicing Agreement or with respect to EMC as company, the Pooling and 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

Except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 2.4 of this Agreement, no Mortgage Note, Mortgage or Mortgage File shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Sponsor, the Depositor, any Servicer 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 interests in the Mortgage Loans with the same rights it would have if it were not Custodian.

Section 3.3. Master Servicer to Pay Custodian’s Fees and Expenses. The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay pursuant to a separate fee schedule 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, and the Master Servicer will pay or reimburse the Custodian (which payment or reimbursement shall be reimbursed to the Master Servicer pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Custodian in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith.

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.

Any resignation 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, 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 not affiliated with the Sponsor and the Sponsor’s affiliates.

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.

Section 3.7. Limitation on Liability. Neither the Custodian nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees, shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith in good faith and believed (which belief may be based upon the opinion or advice of counsel selected by it in the exercise of reasonable care) by it or them to be within the purview of this Agreement, except for its or their own negligence, lack of good faith or willful misconduct. The Custodian and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Custodian 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. In no event shall the Custodian or its directors, officers, agents and employees be held liable for any special, indirect or consequential damages resulting 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.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Custodian agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund and the Trustee and each of their respective officers, directors and agents for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, payments, costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Trustee or the Trust Fund, due to any negligent performance by the Custodian of its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Custodian shall not be liable to any of the foregoing Persons for any amount and any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of such person, and the Custodian’s reliance on instructions from the Trustee or the Master Servicer. The provisions of this Section 3.7 shall survive the termination of this Custodial Agreement.

LaSalle Bank National Association, as Custodian and in its individual capacity, and its directors, officers, employees and agents shall be entitled to indemnification and defense from the Trust Fund for any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith on their part, arising out of, or in connection with, the acceptance or administration of the custodial arrangement created hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder.

Section 3.8. Limitation of Duties. The Custodian in its capacity as such:

(a) in the course of its review of the Mortgage Files, shall not be required to make determinations (1) of a legal nature or (2) as to the authority of any officer or agent of the Master Servicer, Trustee or other entity who has executed (or certified with respect to) any document which is part of the Mortgage File;

(b) shall have no duties or obligations other than those specifically set forth herein or as may subsequently be agreed upon in writing by the parties hereto and shall use the same degree of care and skill as is reasonably expected of financial institutions acting in comparable capacities;

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.

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 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.

(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.

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 related Seller for the purpose of recording it in the appropriate public office for real property records, and the Seller, 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, 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, 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 the Sponsor, 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.

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 Master Servicer or Trustee 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 EMC the related Mortgage Files.

Upon the Custodian’s receipt of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit G to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement signed by a Servicing Officer of a 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 such 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 Replacement Mortgage Loan.

From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, 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 Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, 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. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File to the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable. All Mortgage Files so released to the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, shall be held by it in trust for the Trustee for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, shall cause each Mortgage File or any document therein so released to be returned to the Custodian when the need therefore by the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, 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 Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, 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 Company or the related Servicer is required to deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release, the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver two copies of the Request for Release if delivered in hard copy or the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, 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 accompanied by an assignment of mortgage, without recourse, representation or warranty from the Trustee to EMC (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 EMC; 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 Company or the related 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement, shall enforce any obligation of the related Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, or in the case of EMC, the Pooling and 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 Company, the Depositor, any Servicer or the Master Servicer or otherwise released from the possession of the Custodian.

Section 3.2. Custodian May Own Certificates. The Custodian and its affiliates in their individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights such persons would have if the Custodian were not Custodian hereunder.

Section 3.3. Custodian’s Fees and Expenses. The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Custodian from time to time a fee as agreed upon by such parties as reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Custodian. Upon its request, the Custodian shall be paid or reimbursed from the Trust Fund for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Custodian in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its legal counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the Custodian’s negligence or bad faith or to the extent that such cost or expense is indemnified by the Depositor pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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 hereunder. 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, at the direction of 25% of the Certificateholders, shall remove the Custodian at any time upon 60 days prior written notice to Custodian. 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 Master Servicer, the Company and 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, 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 (by sale of assets, stock or a combination of both), 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 3.7. Limitation on Liability. Neither the Custodian nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees, shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith in good faith and believed (which belief may be based upon the opinion or advice of counsel selected by it in the exercise of reasonable care) by it or them to be within the purview of this Agreement, except for its or their own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Custodian and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Custodian 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. In no event shall the Custodian or its directors, officers, agents and employees be held liable for any special, indirect or consequential damages (“Special Damages”) resulting 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.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Custodian agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund and the Trustee and each of their respective officers, directors and agents for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, payments, costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever (except Special Damages) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Trustee or the Trust Fund, due to any act or omission by the Custodian with respect to the Mortgage Files; provided, however, that the Custodian shall not be liable to any of the foregoing Persons for any amount and any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of such Person. The provisions of this Section 3.7 shall survive the termination of this Custodial Agreement.

The Custodian and its directors, officers, employees and agents shall be entitled to indemnification and defense from the Trust Fund for any loss, liability damages, payments, costs or expense incurred without negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith on their part, arising out of, or in connection with, the acceptance or administration of the custodial arrangement created hereunder, including without limitation the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder.

ARTICLE IV

COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION AB

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 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.

Section 4.4. Report on Assessment of Compliance and Attestation. On or before March 15 of each calendar year, the Custodian shall:

(b) deliver to the Master Servicer a report of a registered public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer 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.

(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.

The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Sponsor (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan 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 Sponsor (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller) shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate of the Sponsor (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller) or a Servicing Officer confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee shall be effected by the Sponsor (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller) within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document.

(e) At the time of any substitution, the Sponsor (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller) shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Replacement 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 shall (i) assign the selected Mortgage Loan to the Sponsor (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller) and shall release or cause the related 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 Trustee or the related Custodian, as applicable 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 the Sponsor (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller) title to such Deleted Mortgage Loan.

SECTION 6. Recordation of Assignments of Mortgage.

(a) The Sponsor (on its own behalf as Mortgage Loan Seller) will, promptly after the Closing Date, cause each Mortgage and each assignment of Mortgage from the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Trustee, and all unrecorded intervening assignments, if any, delivered on or prior to the Closing Date, to be recorded in all recording offices in the jurisdictions where the related Mortgaged Properties are located; provided, however, the Sponsor (on its own behalf as Mortgage Loan Seller) need not cause to be recorded any assignment which relates to a Mortgage Loan that is a MOM Loan or for which the related Mortgaged Property is located in any jurisdiction under the laws of which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered by the Sponsor (on its own behalf as Mortgage Loan Seller) to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan; provided, however, notwithstanding the delivery of any Opinion of Counsel, each assignment of Mortgage shall be submitted for recording by the Sponsor (on its own behalf as Mortgage Loan Seller) in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Trust, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Sponsor under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer or an assignment of the servicing as described in Section 7.07 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (iv) with respect to any one assignment of Mortgage, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.

While each such Mortgage or assignment is being recorded, if necessary, the Sponsor (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller) shall leave or cause to be left with the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf a certified copy of such Mortgage or assignment. In the event that, within 180 days of the Closing Date, the Trustee has not been provided with an Opinion of Counsel as described above or received evidence of recording with respect to each Mortgage Loan delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof or as set forth above and the related Mortgage Loan is not a MOM Loan, the failure to provide evidence of recording or such Opinion of Counsel shall be considered a Material Defect, and the provisions of Section 5(c) and (d) shall apply. 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 the Sponsor.

(b) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan 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 the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of that Mortgage Loan 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 the Mortgage Loan 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 the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the Mortgage Loan 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 (or the related Custodian on its behalf) 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 9-305 (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. The Sponsor (on its own behalf as a Mortgage Loan Seller) 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.

(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 Mortgage Loan Seller 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.

(ii) the original Mortgage and, if the related Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, noting the presence of the MIN and language indicating that such Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, which shall have been recorded (or if the original is not available, a copy), with evidence of such recording indicated thereon (or if clause (x) in the proviso below applies, shall be in recordable form);

(iii) unless the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, the assignment (either an original or a copy, which may be in the form of a blanket assignment if permitted in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located) to the Trustee of the Mortgage with respect to each Mortgage Loan in the name of “Citibank, N.A., as Trustee for certificateholders of SACO I Trust, Mortgage-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-6,” which shall have been recorded (or if clause (x) in the proviso below applies, shall be in recordable form);

(iv) an original or a copy of all intervening assignments of the Mortgage, if any, to the extent available to the related Mortgage Loan Seller, with evidence of recording thereon;

8) Additional Termination Events. Additional Termination Events will apply: (a) If a Rating Agency Downgrade has occurred and BSFP has not, within 30 days, complied with Section 9 below, then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with respect to BSFP and BSFP shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such an Additional Termination Event. (b) If the Counterparty is unable to pay its Class A Certificates or fails or admits in writing its inability to pay its Class A Certificates as they become due, then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with respect to Counterparty and Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event. (c) If, at any time, the Mortgage Loans are purchased pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with respect to Counterparty and Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional termination Event; provided, however, that notwithstanding Section 6(b)(iv) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement, only Counterparty shall have the right to designate an Early Termination Date in respect of this Additional Termination Event. (d) If, upon the occurrence of a Swap Disclosure Event (as defined in paragraph 15 below) BSFP has not, within 10 Business Days after such Swap Disclosure Event complied with any of the provisions set forth in clause (iii) of paragraph 15 below, then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with respect to BSFP and BSFP shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event. (e) Without the prior written consent of BSFP, Counterparty shall not consent to any amendment or supplemental agreement to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Swap Administration Agreement if such amendment or supplemental agreement could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the interests of BSFP. Counterparty will furnish to BSFP a copy of each proposed and each executed amendment or supplemental agreement and copies of any related Rating Agency confirmation therewith, if any. The failure by Counterparty to comply with the above shall constitute an Additional Termination Event hereunder, upon which Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party and all Transactions hereunder shall be Affected Transactions.

9) Rating Agency Downgrade. In the event that BSFP’s long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is withdrawn or reduced below “AA-” by S&P or its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is withdrawn or reduced below “Aa3” by Moody’s (and together with S&P, the “Swap Rating Agencies”, and such rating thresholds, “Approved Rating Thresholds”), then within 30 days after such rating withdrawal or downgrade (unless, within 30 days after such withdrawal or downgrade, each such Swap Rating Agency, as applicable, has reconfirmed the rating of the SACO I Trust 2006-6, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-6 (the “Certificates”) and any notes, which was in effect immediately prior to such withdrawal or downgrade), BSFP shall, subject to the Rating Agency Condition, at its own expense, either (i) seek another entity to replace BSFP as party to this Agreement that meets or exceeds the Approved Rating Thresholds on terms substantially similar to this Agreement or (ii) obtain a guaranty of, or a contingent agreement of another person with the Approved Rating Thresholds, to honor, BSFP’s obligations under this Agreement. BSFP’s failure to do any of the foregoing shall, at the Counterparty’s option, constitute an Additional Termination Event with BSFP as the Affected Party. For purposes of this provision, “Rating Agency Condition” means, with respect to any particular proposed act or omission to act hereunder that the party acting or failing to act must consult with any of the Swap Rating Agencies then providing a rating of the Certificates and any notes and receive from the Swap Rating Agencies a prior written confirmation that the proposed action or inaction would not cause a downgrade or withdrawal of the then-current rating of the Certificates and any notes.

(i) It is not relying on any statement or representation of the other party regarding the Transaction (whether written or oral), other than the representations expressly made in this Agreement or the Confirmation in respect of that Transaction and (ii) it has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial and accounting advisors to the extent it has deemed necessary, and it has made its own investment, hedging and trading decisions based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by the other party.

(2) Evaluation and Understanding.

(i) It has the capacity to evaluate (internally or through independent professional advice) the Transaction and has made its own decision to enter into the Transaction; and

(ii) It understands the terms, conditions and risks of the Transaction and is willing and able to accept those terms and conditions and to assume those risks, financially and otherwise.

(3) Purpose. It is entering into the Transaction for the purposes of managing its borrowings or investments, hedging its underlying assets or liabilities or in connection with a line of business.

(4) Status of Parties. The other party is not acting as an agent, fiduciary or advisor for it in respect of the Transaction.

In the event that the Swap Account and proceeds thereof should be insufficient to satisfy all claims outstanding and following the realization of the Swap Account and the proceeds thereof, any claims against or obligations of Counterparty under the ISDA Form Master Agreement or any other confirmation thereunder still outstanding shall be extinguished and thereafter not revive. The Swap Administrator shall not have liability for any failure or delay in making a payment hereunder to BSFP due to any failure or delay in receiving amount in the Swap Account from the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

No transfer, amendment, waiver, supplement, assignment or other modification of this Transaction shall be permitted by either party unless (i) each of S&P and Moody’s have been provided notice of the same and (ii) S&P, Fitch and Moody’s confirm in writing (including by facsimile transmission) within five Business Days after such notice is given that they will not downgrade, qualify, withdraw or otherwise modify their then-current rating of the Certificates.

(i) BSFP agrees and acknowledges that Bear Xxxxxxx Asset Backed Securities I LLC (the “Depositor”) is required under Regulation AB as defined under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to disclose certain financial information regarding BSFP or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable, depending on the aggregate “significance percentage” of this Agreement and any other derivative contracts between BSFP or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable, and Counterparty, as calculated from time to time in accordance with Item 1115 of Regulation AB.

(ii) It shall be a swap disclosure event (“Swap Disclosure Event”) if, on any Business Day after the date hereof, LaSalle Bank National Association, as securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”) or the Depositor requests from BSFP the applicable financial information described in Item 1115 of Regulation AB (such request to be based on a reasonable determination by Depositor, in good faith, that such information is required under Regulation AB) (the “Swap Financial Disclosure”).

(iii) Upon the occurrence of a Swap Disclosure Event, BSFP, at its own expense, shall (1)(a) either (i) provide to Depositor the current Swap Financial Disclosure in an XXXXX-compatible format (for example, such information may be provided in Microsoft Word® or Microsoft Excel® format but not in .pdf format) or (ii) provide written consent to Depositor to incorporation by reference of such current Swap Financial Disclosure that are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the reports of the Trust filed pursuant to the Exchange Act, (b) if applicable, cause its outside accounting firm to provide its consent to filing or incorporation by reference of such accounting firm’s report relating to their audits of such current Swap Financial Disclosure in the Exchange Act Reports of the Depositor, and (c) provide to the Depositor any updated Swap Financial Disclosure with respect to BSFP or any entity that consolidates BSFP within five days of the release of any such updated Swap Financial Disclosure; (2) secure another entity to replace BSFP as party to this Agreement on terms substantially similar to this Agreement, which entity (or a guarantor therefor) meets or exceeds the Approved Rating Thresholds and which satisfies the Rating Agency Condition and which entity is able to comply with the requirements of Item 1115 of Regulation AB, or (3) obtain a guaranty of BSFP’s obligations under this Agreement from an affiliate of BSFP that is able to comply with the financial information disclosure requirements of Item 1115 of Regulation AB, and cause such affiliate to provide Swap Financial Disclosure and any future Swap Financial Disclosure, such that disclosure provided in respect of such affiliate will satisfy any disclosure requirements applicable to the Swap Provider.

(iv) BSFP agrees that, in the event that BSFP provides Swap Financial Disclosure to Depositor in accordance with clause (iii)(1) of paragraph 15 or causes its affiliate to provide Swap Financial Disclosure to Depositor in accordance with clause (iii)(3) of paragraph 15, it will indemnify and hold harmless Depositor, its respective directors or officers and any person controlling Depositor, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Swap Financial Disclosure or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state in such Swap Financial Disclosure a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(v) If Securities Administrator and Depositor reasonably requests, BSFP shall provide such other information as may be necessary for Depositor to comply with Item 1115 of Regulation AB.

SERVICING CRITERIA TO BE ADDRESSED IN ASSESSMENT OF COMPLIANCE

Definitions

Primary Servicer - transaction party having borrower contact

Master Servicer - aggregator of pool assets

Securities Administrator - waterfall calculator

Back-up Servicer - named in the transaction (in the event a Back up Servicer becomes the Primary Servicer, follow Primary Servicer obligations)

Custodian - safe keeper of pool assets

Trustee - fiduciary of the transaction

Note: The definitions above describe the essential function that the party performs, rather than the party’s title. So, for example, in a particular transaction, the trustee may perform the “paying agent” and “securities administrator” functions, while in another transaction, the securities administrator may perform these functions.

Where there are multiple checks for criteria the attesting party will identify in their management assertion that they are attesting only to the portion of the distribution chain they are responsible for in the related transaction agreements.
