Section 2.01

Mortgage Loan Files.

Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Depositor has sold to the Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Mortgage Loans, any and all rights, privileges and benefits accruing to the Depositor under each Assignment Agreement, each Sale Agreement, and each Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans, including the rights and remedies with respect to the enforcement of any and all representations, warranties and covenants under such agreements and all other agreements and assets included or to be included in the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders as set forth in the conveyance clause of the Trust Agreement. Such assignment includes all of the Depositor’s rights to Monthly Payments on the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date, and all other payments of principal (and interest) made on or after the Cut-off Date that are reflected in the initial aggregate Certificate Balance for a Trust.

In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee or the Custodian on or before the Closing Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Trustee Mortgage Loan File that was delivered to such Custodian by the Servicer. If any Mortgage or an assignment of a Mortgage to the Trustee or any prior assignment is in the process of being recorded on the Closing Date, the Depositor shall cause each such original recorded document or certified copy thereof, to be delivered to the Trustee or the related Custodian promptly following its recordation and return to the Depositor.

Section 2.02

Acceptance by the Trustee

(a)

By its execution of the Trust Agreement, the Trustee acknowledges and declares that it or the Custodian holds and will hold or has agreed to hold (in each case through the applicable Custodian) all documents delivered to it or any such Custodian from time to time with respect to a Mortgage Loan and all assets included in the definition of “Trust Estate” in the Trust Agreement in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee represents and warrants that (i) it acquired the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trust from the Depositor in good faith, for value, and without actual notice or actual knowledge of any adverse claim, lien, charge, encumbrance or security interest (including, without limitation, federal tax liens or liens arising under ERISA) (it being understood that the Trustee has not undertaken searches (lien records or otherwise) of any public records), (ii) except as permitted in the Trust Agreement, it has not and will not, in any capacity, assert any claim or interest in the Mortgage Loans and will hold (or its agent will hold) such Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof in trust pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, and (iii) it has not encumbered or transferred its right, title or interest in the Mortgage Loans.

(b)

The Trustee will cause the Custodian to review, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the parties hereto, each Trustee Mortgage Loan File and deliver to the Trustee (with a copy to the Depositor) on the Closing Date a Trust Receipt with respect to each Mortgage Loan to the effect that, except as specifically noted on a schedule of exceptions thereto (the “Exceptions List”):

all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to clause (a) through (f) of the definition of Trustee Mortgage Loan File are in the Trustee’s or Custodian’s possession;

(ii)

all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to clause 1(g) of the definition of Trustee Mortgage Loan File are in the Trustee’s or Custodian’s possession, provided that

(A)

the Custodian shall have no obligation to verify the receipt of any such documents the existence of which was not made known to the Custodian by the Trustee Mortgage Loan File, and

(B)

the Custodian shall have no obligation to determine whether recordation of any such modification is necessary;

(iii)

all powers of attorney required to be delivered to it pursuant to clause (h) of the definition of Trustee Mortgage Loan File are in the Custodian’s possession, provided that

(A)

the Custodian shall have no obligations to verify the receipt of any such documents the existence of which was not made known to the Custodian by the Trustee Mortgage Loan File, and

(B)

the Custodian shall have no obligation to determine whether recordation of any such power of attorney is necessary (except that the Custodian shall conclude that if the document to which such power of attorney relates is a mortgage, interim assignment, assignment or a document that was recorded, then the Custodian shall conclude that such power of attorney should have been recorded);

(iv)

all documents have been examined by the Custodian and appear regular on their face and to relate to the Mortgage Loans; and

(v)

that each mortgage note has been endorsed and each assignment of mortgage has been assigned as described in the definition of Trustee Mortgage Loan File, provided that the Custodian shall have no obligation to confirm that the assignments are in recordable form.

In making the verification required by this Section 2.02(b), the Custodian may rely conclusively on the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached hereto, and the Custodian shall have no obligation to independently verify the correctness of such Mortgage Loan Schedule.

(c)

It is understood that before delivering the Trust Receipt, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall examine the Mortgage Loan Documents to confirm the following (and shall report any exceptions to these confirmations in the Exceptions Report attached to the Trust Receipt):

(i)

each mortgage note, mortgage, assumption, modification, guaranty, power of attorney and deed of sale bears a signature or signatures that appear to be original and that purport to be that of the Person or Persons named as the maker and mortgagor/trustor or, if photocopies are permitted, that such copies bear a reproduction of such signature or signatures;

(ii)

except for the endorsement required pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Trustee Mortgage Loan File, neither the mortgage nor any assignment, on the face or the reverse side(s) thereof, contains evidence of any unsatisfied claims, liens, security interests, encumbrances or restrictions on transfer;

(iii)

(iv)

the interest rate shown on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is identical to the interest rate shown on the mortgage note;

(vii)

the title insurance policy or certificate of title is for an amount not less than the original principal amount of the related note.

Prior to the first anniversary date of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and each Servicer a Final Certification evidencing the completeness of the Trustee Mortgage Loan File for each Mortgage Loan, with any applicable exceptions noted on such Certification.

(e)

No later than the fifth Business Day of each month, commencing the first month following the month in which the Closing Date occurs, the Custodian shall deliver to each Servicer (or such other party responsible for recordation of any Mortgages and/or assignments as specified in the related Servicing Agreement), and the Depositor in hard copy format (and, if requested, in electronic format), the Exceptions List, updated to remove exceptions cured since the Closing Date. In addition, such monthly reports shall list any document with respect to which the related Seller delivered a copy certifying that the original had been sent for recording, until such time as the related Seller or Servicer delivers to the Trustee (or Custodian) the original of such document or a copy thereof certified by the appropriate public recording office.

(f)

In lieu of taking possession of the Trustee Mortgage Loan Files and reviewing such files itself, the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 8.11 hereof, appoint one or more Custodians to hold the Trustee Mortgage Loan Files on its behalf and to review them as provided in this Section 2.02. The Depositor shall, upon notice of the appointment of a Custodian, deliver or cause to be delivered all documents to the Custodian that would otherwise be deliverable to the Trustee. In such event, the Trustee shall obtain from each such Custodian, within the specified times, the Trust Receipt and the Final Certifications with respect to those Mortgage Loans held and reviewed by such Custodian and may deliver (or cause the Custodian to deliver) such Certifications and electronically deliver Reports to the Depositor in satisfaction of the Trustee’s obligation to prepare such Certifications and Reports (it being understood that absent actual knowledge to the contrary, the Trustee may conclusively rely on the certifications provided by such Custodian). The Trustee shall notify the Custodian of any notices delivered to the Trustee with respect to those Trustee Mortgage Loan Files.

Section 2.03

Purchase of Mortgage Loans by a Servicer, a Seller, GSMC or the Depositor.

(a)

Servicer Breach. In addition to taking any action required pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof, upon discovery by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or notice to the Trustee of any breach by any Servicer of any representation, warranty or covenant under the related Servicing Agreement, which breach materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein (it being understood that any such breach shall be deemed to have materially and adversely affected the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein if the Trust incurs or may incur a loss as a result of such breach), the Trustee shall promptly request that such Servicer of such Mortgage Loan cure such breach, and if such Servicer does not cure such breach in all material respects by the end of the cure period set forth in the related Servicing Agreement, shall enforce such Servicer’s obligation under such Servicing Agreement to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if such breach results in or is a Qualification Defect, such cure, purchase or substitution must take place within 75 days of the Defect Discovery Date.

(b)

Sellers’ Breach. Upon discovery by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or notice to the Trustee of any defective or missing document (as described in the related Sale Agreement) in a Trustee Mortgage Loan File, or of any breach by any Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under the related Sale Agreement, which defect or breach materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein (it being understood that any such defect or breach shall be deemed to have materially and adversely affected the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein if the Trust incurs a loss as a result of such defect or breach), the Trustee shall promptly request that such Seller cure such breach and, if such Seller does not cure such defect or breach in all material respects by the end of the cure period specified in such Sale Agreement and any extension of the cure period granted as permitted by such Sale Agreement, shall enforce such Seller’s obligation under such Sale Agreement to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee.

In the event any Servicer has breached a representation or warranty under the related Servicing Agreement that is substantially identical to a representation or warranty breached by a Seller, the Trustee shall first proceed against such Servicer. If such Servicer does not within 60 days (or such other period provided in the related Servicing Agreement) after notification of the breach, either take steps to cure such breach (which may be evidenced by a certificate asking for an extension of time in which to effectuate a cure) or complete the purchase of the Mortgage Loan, then (i) the Trustee, shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the related Sale Agreement to cure such breach or to purchase the Mortgage Loan from the Trust, and (ii) such Seller shall succeed to the rights of the Trustee to enforce the obligations of the Servicer to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan under the Servicing Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if any breach of a representation or warranty by the Servicer or of a Seller is a Qualification Defect, a cure or purchase must take place within 75 days of the Defect Discovery Date.

(c)

GSMC Breach. Upon its discovery or notice to it of any breach by GSMC of any representation, warranty or covenant under any Assignment Agreement which materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein (it being understood that any such defect or breach shall be deemed to have materially and adversely affected the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein if the Trust incurs a loss as a result of such defect or breach), the Trustee, shall promptly request that GSMC cure such breach and, if GSMC does not cure such breach in all material respects within 90 days from the date on which it is notified of the breach, shall enforce GSMC’s obligation under such Assignment Agreement to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee.

(d)

Depositor Breach. Within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or receipt of notice by the Depositor of the breach of any of its representations or warranties set forth in Section 2.04 hereof with respect to any Mortgage Loan, which breach materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein (it being understood that any such defect or breach shall be deemed to have materially and adversely affected the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein if the Trust incurs a loss as a result of such defect or breach), the Depositor shall (i) cure such breach in all material respects, or (ii) purchase the Mortgage Loan from the Trustee.

In the event the Depositor has breached a representation or warranty under Section 2.04 hereof that is substantially identical to a representation or warranty breached by a Servicer or Seller, the Trustee shall first proceed against the applicable Servicer or Seller, as appropriate. If such Servicer or Seller, as appropriate, does not within the cure period set forth in the related Sale Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable, either take steps to cure such breach (which may be evidenced by a certificate asking for an extension of time in which to effectuate a cure) or complete the purchase of or substitution for the Mortgage Loan, then (i) the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Depositor to cure such breach or to purchase the Mortgage Loan from the Trust, and (ii) the Depositor shall succeed to the rights of the Trustee to enforce the obligations of such Servicer or Seller to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan under the related Servicing Agreement or Sale Agreement, as applicable, with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if any breach of a representation or warranty by the Depositor is a Qualification Defect, a cure or purchase must take place within 75 days of the Defect Discovery Date.

(e)

Purchase Price. The purchase of any Mortgage Loan from the Trust pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be effected for its Purchase Price. If the Purchaser is the related Servicer, the Purchase Price shall be deposited in the Collection Account. If the Purchaser is other than such Servicer, an amount equal to the Purchase Price shall be deposited into the Certificate Account. Within five Business Days of its receipt of such funds or certification by the appropriate Servicer that such funds have been deposited in the related Collection Account, the Trustee shall release or cause the applicable Custodian to release to the Purchaser or its designee the related Trustee Mortgage Loan File and, at the request of the Purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, in form as presented by the Purchaser and satisfactory to the Trustee, as shall be necessary to vest in the Purchaser title to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Trustee Mortgage Loan File.

(f)

Determination of Purchase Price. The Trustee will be responsible for determining the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan that is sold by the Trust or with respect to which provision is made for the escrow of funds pursuant to this Section 2.03 and shall at the time of any purchase or escrow certify such amounts to the Depositor; provided that the Trustee may consult with the Servicer to determine the Purchase Price unless the Servicer is the Purchaser of such Mortgage Loan. If, for whatever reason, the Trustee shall determine that there is a miscalculation of the amount to be paid to the Trust, the Trustee shall from monies in a Distribution Account return any overpayment that the Trust received as a result of such miscalculation to the applicable Purchaser upon the discovery of such overpayment, and the Trustee shall collect from the applicable Purchaser for deposit to the Securities Account any underpayment that resulted from such miscalculation upon the discovery of such underpayment. Recovery may be made either directly or by set-off of all or any part of such underpayment against amounts owed by the Trust to such Purchaser.

(g)

Qualification Defect. If (A) any person required to cure or purchase under subsections 2.03(a), 2.03(b), 2.03(c) or 2.03(d) of these Standard Terms or under a separate agreement for a Mortgage Loan affected by a Qualification Defect fails to perform within the earlier of (1) 75 days of the Defect Discovery Date or (2) the time limit set forth in those subsections or that separate agreement or (B) no person is obligated to cure or purchase a Mortgage Loan affected by a Qualification Defect, the Trustee shall dispose of such Mortgage Loan in such manner and for such price as the Trustee determines are appropriate, provided that the removal of such Mortgage Loan occurs no later than the 90th day from the Defect Discovery Date. If the Servicer is not the person required to cure or repurchase the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee may consult with such Servicer to determine an appropriate manner of disposition for and price for such Mortgage Loan. It is the express intent of the parties that a Mortgage Loan affected by a Qualification Defect be removed from the Trust by the 90th day from the Defect Discovery Date so that the related REMIC(s) will continue to qualify as a REMIC. Accordingly, the Trustee is not required to sell an affected Mortgage Loan for its fair market value nor shall the Trustee be required to make up any shortfall resulting from the sale of such Mortgage Loan. The person failing to perform under subsections 2.03(a), 2.03(b), 2.03(c) or 2.03(d) of these Standard Terms shall be liable to the Trust for (i) any difference between (A) the Unpaid Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the Note Rate to the date of disposition and (B) the net amount received by the Trustee from the disposition (after the payment of related expenses), (ii) interest on such difference at the Note Rate (less the Administrative Cost Rate) from the date of disposition to the date of payment and (iii) any legal and other expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Trust in seeking such payments. The Trustee shall pursue the legal remedies of the Trust on the Trust’s behalf and the Trust shall reimburse the Trustee for any legal or other expenses of the Trustee related to such pursuit not recovered from such person.

(h)

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Sale Agreement, and notwithstanding Section 2.03(b) hereof, if a Seller concludes at the end of any applicable cure period (and any extension thereof) that a document required to be included in the Trustee Mortgage Loan File cannot be found or replaced, the Seller may, in lieu of immediately repurchasing the related Mortgage Loan, provide (a) a Lost Document Affidavit and (b) Opinion of Counsel that the missing document does not constitute a Qualification Defect. In that event, the Trustee shall not require such Seller immediately to repurchase the Mortgage Loan, but, if at any time there is any loss, liability, or damage, including reasonable attorney’s fees, resulting from the unavailability of any originals of any such documents or of a complete chain of intervening endorsements, as the case may be (collectively, “Losses”), the Trustee shall enforce the Seller’s obligation to indemnify the Trust for such Losses.

(i)

Notices. Any Person required under this Section 2.03 to give notice or to make a request of another Person to give notice shall give such notice or make such request promptly.

(j)

No Other Enforcement Obligation. Except as specifically set forth herein, the Trustee shall have no responsibility to enforce any provision of a Sale Agreement, Servicing Agreement or Assignment Agreement assigned to it hereunder, to oversee compliance thereof, or to take notice of any breach or default thereof. No successor servicer shall have any obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan except to the extent specifically set forth in the Servicing Agreement signed by such substitute servicer.

The Depositor has not canceled, satisfied or subordinated in whole or in part, or rescinded any Mortgage, and the Depositor has not released any Mortgaged Premise from the lien of the related mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has the Depositor executed an instrument that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the respective Trustee Mortgage Loan Files to the Trustee (or the Custodian) and shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment. Upon the discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties to the Trust Agreement, and in no event later than two Business Days from the date of such discovery. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Depositor set forth in Section 2.03(d) to cure or repurchase a Mortgage Loan constitute the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders or to the Trustee on their behalf respecting a breach of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 2.04. It is further understood and agreed that the Depositor shall be deemed not to have made the representations and warranties in this Section 2.04 with respect to, and to the extent of, representations and warranties made, as to the matters covered in this Section 2.04, by the Servicer in any Servicing Agreement or the Seller in any Sale Agreement assigned to the Trustee.

It is understood and agreed that the Depositor has made no representations or warranties to the Trust other than those contained in this Section 2.04. GSMC has made no representations or warranties to the Trust other than those in any Assignment Agreement, or in any Sale Agreement under which GSMC is acting as Seller, and no other Affiliate of the Depositor has made any representations or warranty of any kind to the Trustee. Neither the Depositor, GSMC, nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of either such entity shall be under any liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders and all such Persons shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust for any claims, losses, penalties, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that such Persons may sustain as a result of or arising out of or based upon any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant made by any Servicer or Seller or any failure by any Servicer or Seller to perform its obligations in strict compliance with the terms of the related Servicing or Sale Agreement or the failure of the Trustee to perform its duties hereunder; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor against any breach of warranties or representations made in Section 2.04 herein, or the Depositor against any breach of representations or warranties made in any Assignment Agreement or Sale Agreement.

The Trustee shall, if requested by any Servicer, execute a power of appointment pursuant to which the Trustee shall authorize, make, constitute and appoint designated officers of such Servicer with full power to execute in the name of the Trustee (without recourse, representation or warranty) any deed of reconveyance, any substitution of trustee documents or any other document to release, satisfy, cancel or discharge any Mortgage or Mortgage Loan upon its payment in full or other liquidation; provided, however, that such power of appointment shall be limited to the powers limited above; and provided, further, that such Servicer shall promptly forward to the Trustee for its files copies of all documents executed pursuant to such power of appointment.

Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the Servicer may submit a Request for Release to have delivered to it the related Trustee Mortgage Loan File and a release of the Mortgaged Premises from the lien of the Mortgage. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to a Collection Account or the Certificate Account.

Upon receipt of any other Request for Release for purposes of servicing a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, collection under any Insurance Policy, title insurance policy, primary mortgage insurance policy, flood insurance policy or hazard insurance policy or to effect a partial release of any Mortgaged Premises from the lien of the Mortgage, the Trustee, within five Business Days of receipt of such Request for Release, shall release, or shall cause the Custodian to release, the related Trustee Mortgage Loan File to the Servicer. Upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation which are required to be deposited into the Collection Account or the Certificate Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, the Request for Release shall be released by the Trustee (or the Custodian) to such Servicer.

Any Servicer may execute a written certification to have delivered to it, pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Premises or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Borrower on the Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity.

Section 3.04

Amendments to Servicing Agreement.

Each Servicing Agreement may be amended or supplemented from time to time by the related Servicer and the Trustee without the consent of any of the Certificateholders to (a) cure any ambiguity, (b) correct or supplement any provisions therein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein, (c) modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or appropriate to maintain the qualification of the Trust (or certain assets thereof) as one or more REMICs, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding or (d) make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under such Servicing Agreement or matters arising with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans which are not covered by such Servicing Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of such Servicing Agreement, provided that such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder. Any such amendment or supplement shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect any Certificateholder if there is delivered to the Trustee written notification from each Rating Agency that rated the applicable Certificates to the effect that such amendment or supplement will not cause that Rating Agency to reduce or qualify the then current rating assigned to such Certificates, as well as an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment or supplement will not result in the loss by the Trust or the assets thereof of REMIC status.

Each Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the related Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of such Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (A) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (B) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates, or (C) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, unless each Holder of a Certificate affected by such amendment consents. For purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 3.04, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or an Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such Certificates.

Upon delivery of a written request to the Trustee together with a certification from the Servicer that any such amendment or supplement is permitted hereby, the Trustee shall join in any such amendment or supplement.

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall notify each Certificateholder of such amendment and, upon written request, shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 3.04 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. Prior to consenting to any amendment pursuant to this Section 3.04, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the applicable Servicer) that such amendment is authorized and permitted pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement and the applicable Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.05

Trustee Advances.

(a)

Under the terms of each Servicing Agreement, on the Business Day prior to each Remittance Date, the related Servicer is obligated to make a Monthly Advance with respect to any delinquencies as of the related Distribution Date, unless such Servicer furnishes to the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate evidencing the determination by such Servicer, in its reasonable judgment, that such Monthly Advance would be non-recoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds (including the proceeds of the applicable Federal Insurance) or otherwise with respect to such Mortgage Loan (a “Non-Recoverability Certificate”). If (i) a Servicer reports a delinquency on a Remittance Report, and (ii) such Servicer, by 11 a.m. (New York Time) on the related Distribution Date, neither makes a Monthly Advance nor provides the Trustee with a Non-Recoverability Certificate with respect to such delinquency, then the Trustee shall deposit, from its own funds, the amount of such Monthly Advance (a “Trustee Advance”) into the Certificate Account for distribution to Certificateholders as provided in the Trust Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee, in its reasonable judgment, determines that such Monthly Advance would be non-recoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds (including the proceeds of the applicable Federal Insurance) or otherwise with respect to such Mortgage Loan, then the Trustee shall not be obligated to make such Trustee Advance.

(b)

Each Servicer is obligated under the applicable Servicing Agreement to remit to the Trustee the required remittance on each Remittance Date. If (i) a Servicer fails to remit such remittance on any Remittance Date, (ii) such failure is not cured by 11 a.m. (New York Time) on the related Distribution Date, and (iii) pursuant to the terms of such Servicing Agreement, the related Collection Account has been established as a segregated account in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Trustee, then the Trustee shall withdraw the amount of such required remittance from such Collection Account, to the extent that such amount is on deposit in such Collection Account, and shall deposit such amount in the Certificate Account.

(c)

All Trustee Advances, together with interest thereon at a rate equal to the prevailing Prime Rate plus 2.0%, shall be reimbursable to the Trustee on a first priority basis from deposits to the Collection Account of late collections, Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds from a Mortgage Loan as to which a Trustee Advance has been made. The Trustee’s right to reimbursement as provided in this paragraph (c) shall not negate its obligation to continue to make Trustee Advances as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.05. To the extent Trustee Advances are not recoverable as set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph (c), the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such Trustee Advances together with interest thereon, as provided in Section 3.01(b).

(d)

To the extent that the Servicer is required to pay penalty interest pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, and the Trustee makes any Trustee Advance, the Trustee in it is individual capacity shall be entitled to retain such penalty interest.

Section 3.06

Enforcement of Servicing Agreement.

Subject to Article VIII hereof, the Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of the Servicing Agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the related Servicer for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

Such obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time are in force.

Section 4.02

Remittance Reports and other Reports from the Servicer.

To the extent received from the Servicer, the Trustee shall make the information in each Remittance Report available to the Depositor or a Certificateholder upon written request of the Depositor or such Certificateholder therefor. In addition, upon written request from the Depositor or a Certificateholder (such party, the “Requesting Party”), the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the Servicer and subsequently provide to the Depositor or requesting Certificateholder any other reports or information that may be obtained by the Trustee from any Servicer pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that if the Trustee incurs costs pursuant to the Servicing Agreement with respect to any particular request, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Requesting Party for such costs, together with any other reasonable costs incurred by it for obtaining or delivering the reports or information specified by such request. The Trustee shall be under no duty to recalculate, verify or recompute the information provided to it under any Servicing Agreement by the applicable Servicer.

Section 4.03

Compliance with Withholding Requirements.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments of interest or principal to the extent of accrued original issue discount on Certificates to each Holder of such Certificates who (a) is not a “United States person,” within the meaning of Code section 7701(a)(30), (b) fails to furnish its TIN to the Trustee, (c) furnishes the Trustee an incorrect TIN, (d) fails to report properly interest and dividends, (e) under certain circumstances, fails to provide the Trustee or the Certificateholder’s securities broker with a certified statement, signed under penalties of perjury, that the TIN provided by such Certificateholder to the Trustee or such broker is correct and that the Certificateholder is not subject to backup withholding or (f) otherwise fails to satisfy any applicable certification requirements relating to the withholding tax. The consent of such a Certificateholder shall not be required for such withholding. In the event the Trustee does withhold the amount of any otherwise required distribution from interest payments on the Mortgage Loans (including principal payments to the extent of accrued original issue discount) or Monthly Advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Trustee shall indicate with any payments to such Certificateholders the amount withheld. In addition, if any United States federal income tax is due at the time a Non-U.S. Person transfers a Residual Certificate, the Trustee or other Withholding Agent may (1) withhold an amount equal to the taxes due upon disposition of such Residual Certificate from future distributions made with respect to such Residual Certificate to the transferee thereof (after giving effect to the withholding of taxes imposed on such transferee), and (2) pay the withheld amount to the Internal Revenue Service unless satisfactory written evidence of payment by the transferor of the taxes due has been provided to the Trustee or such Withholding Agent. Moreover, the Trustee or other Withholding Agent may (1) hold distributions on a Residual Certificate, without interest, pending determination of amounts to be withheld, (2) withhold other amounts, if any, required to be withheld pursuant to United States federal income tax law from distributions that otherwise would be made to such transferee on each Residual Certificate that it holds, and (3) pay to the Internal Revenue Service all such amounts withheld.

Section 4.05

Preparation of Regulatory Reports.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee has not assumed, and shall not by its performance hereunder be deemed to have assumed, any of the duties or obligations of the Depositor or any other Person with respect to (i) the registration of the Certificates pursuant to the Securities Act, (ii) the issuance or sale of the Certificates, or (iii) compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any offering circular, applicable federal or state securities or other laws including, without limitation, any requirement to update the registration statement or prospectus relating to the Certificates in order to render the same not materially misleading to investors.

In that event, the Trustee shall direct the Servicer to sell any REO Property remaining after such date in an auction before the end of the Extended Holding Period.

ARTICLE V

THE INTERESTS AND THE SECURITIES

Section 5.01

REMIC Interests.

The Trust Agreement will set forth the terms of the Regular Interests and Residual Interest of each REMIC. Unless otherwise specified in the Trust Agreement, (a) the Regular Interests in each REMIC will be “regular interests” for purposes of the REMIC Provisions; (b) the Trustee will be the owner of the Regular Interests in any REMIC held by another REMIC formed pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, and such Regular Interests may not be transferred to any person other than a successor trustee appointed pursuant to Section 8.07 hereof unless the party desiring the transfer obtains a Special Tax Opinion; and (c) such Regular Interests will be represented by the respective Interests.

Section 5.02

The Certificates.

The Certificates shall be designated in the Trust Agreement. The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Estate. On the Closing Date, the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Certificates will equal the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed to the Trust Agreement. Unless otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement, the Certificates of each Class will be issuable in registered form, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the related Class.

Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed and delivered by the Trustee and the Trustee shall cause the Certificates to be authenticated by the Certificate Registrar to or upon the order of the Depositor upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents specified in Section 2.01. The Certificates shall be executed and attested by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized Officer under its seal imprinted thereon. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper Officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided in the Trust Agreement executed by the Certificate Registrar by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their execution.

Section 5.03

Book-Entry Securities.

(a)

The Book-Entry Securities will be represented initially by one or more certificates registered in the name designated by the Clearing Agency. The Depositor and the Trustee may for all intents and purposes (including the making of payments on the Book-Entry Securities) deal with the Clearing Agency as the authorized representative of the Beneficial Owners of the Book-Entry Securities for as long as those Certificates are registered in the name of the Clearing Agency. The rights of Beneficial Owners of the Book-Entry Securities shall be limited by law to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the Clearing Agency and Clearing Agency Participants. The Beneficial Owners of the Book-Entry Securities shall not be entitled to certificates for the Book-Entry Securities as to which they are the Beneficial Owners, except as provided in subsection (c) below. Requests and directions from, and votes of, the Clearing Agency, as Holder, shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Beneficial Owners. Without the consent of the Depositor and the Trustee, a Book-Entry Security may not be transferred by the Clearing Agency except to another Clearing Agency that agrees to hold the Book-Entry Security for the account of the respective Clearing Agency Participants and Beneficial Owners.

(b)

Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee will have any liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payment made on account of Beneficial Owners of the Book-Entry Securities held by the Clearing Agency, for monitoring or restricting any transfer of beneficial ownership in a Book-Entry Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such Beneficial Owners.

(c)

A Book-Entry Security will be registered in fully registered, certificated form to Beneficial Owners of Book-Entry Securities or their nominees, rather than to the Clearing Agency or its nominee, if (a) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Book-Entry Securities, and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor within 30 days, (b) the Depositor, at its option, elects to terminate the book-entry system operating through the Clearing Agency or (c) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficial Owners representing at least a majority of the aggregate outstanding Certificate Balance of the Book-Entry Securities advise the Clearing Agency in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners. Upon the occurrence of any such event, the Trustee shall notify the Clearing Agency, which in turn will notify all Beneficial Owners of Book-Entry Securities through Clearing Agency Participants, of the availability of certificated Certificates. Upon surrender by the Clearing Agency or the Book-Entry Custodian of the certificates representing the Book-Entry Securities and receipt of instructions for re-registration, the Trustee will reissue the Book-Entry Securities as certificated Certificates to the Beneficial Owners identified in writing by the Clearing Agency. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of such instructions and may rely conclusively on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Such certificated Certificates shall not constitute Book-Entry Securities. All reasonable costs associated with the preparation and delivery of certificated Certificates shall be borne by the Trust.

(d)

The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as Book-Entry Custodian with respect to the Book-Entry Securities, and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Clearing Agency authorizing it to act as such (it being understood that should any conflict arise between the provisions hereof and the provisions of the agreement between the Trustee and the Clearing Agency, the agreement with the Clearing Agency will control). The Book-Entry Custodian may, and, if it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor and, if the Trustee is not the Book-Entry Custodian, the Trustee, any other transfer agent (including the Clearing Agency or any successor Clearing Agency) to act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the Clearing Agency or any successor Clearing Agency may prescribe; provided that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by reason of such appointment of other than the Clearing Agency. If the Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor trustee, or, if it so elects, the Clearing Agency shall immediately succeed to its predecessor’s duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry Securities by the Book-Entry Custodian.

Section 5.04

Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

The Trustee shall cause to be kept at its Corporate Trust Office a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee will initially serve as Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.

Subject to Section 5.05, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at any other office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose, the Trustee shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.

At the option of the Certificateholders, each Certificate may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with the same and authorized denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such Certificate to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute and cause the Certificate Registrar to authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be destroyed by the Certificate Registrar.

The Trustee will cause the Certificate Registrar (unless the Trustee is acting as Certificate Registrar) to provide notice to the Trustee of each transfer of a Certificate, and the Certificate Registrar will provide the Trustee with an updated copy of the Certificate Register on January 1 and July 1 of each year.

Section 5.05

Restrictions on Transfer.

(a)

Securities Law Compliance. No transfer of any Private Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. Any Holder of a Private Certificate shall, and, by acceptance of such Private Certificate, does agree to, indemnify the Depositor and the Trustee against any liability that may result if any transfer of such Certificates by such Holder is not exempt from registration under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify any Private Certificate under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without such registration or qualification. The Trustee shall not register any transfer of a Private Certificate (other than a Residual Certificate) unless and until the prospective transferee provides the Trustee with an agreement certifying to facts which, if true, would mean that the proposed transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer (a “QIB Certificate”), or, if the Private Certificate to be transferred is not a Rule 144A Security, a Transferee Agreement, and in any case unless and until the transfer otherwise complies with the provisions of this Section 5.05. If so provided in the Trust Agreement, the prospective transferee will be deemed to have provided a QIB Certificate upon acceptance of the Certificate. If a proposed transfer does not involve a Rule 144A Security, the Trustee shall require that the transferor and transferee certify as to the factual basis for the registration exemption(s) relied upon, and if the transfer is made within two years of the acquisition thereof by a non-Affiliate of the Depositor from the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, or the Trustee also may require an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made without registration or qualification under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of the Depositor or the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no QIB Certificate, Transferee Agreement or Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the initial transfer of the Private Certificates and no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the transfer of the Private Certificates by a broker or dealer, if such broker or dealer was the initial transferee.

The Depositor (or, upon direction of the Depositor, which directions shall specify the information to be provided, and at the expense of the Depositor or the Trustee) shall provide to any Holder of a Rule 144A Security and any prospective transferee designated by 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 Rule 144A Security without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A.

(b)

ERISA Restrictions. Certificated Subordinated Certificates. No Regular Certificate that is subordinated in right to payment to the Certificates of any other Class due to the allocation of Realized Losses (a “Certificated Subordinated Security”) shall be transferred unless the prospective transferee provides the Trustee with a properly completed Benefit Plan Affidavit.

(c)

Residual Certificates. No Residual Certificate (including any beneficial interest therein) may be transferred to a Disqualified Organization. In addition, no Residual Certificate (including any beneficial interest therein) may be transferred unless (i) the proposed transferee provides the Trustee with (A) a Residual Transferee Agreement, (B) if the proposed transferee is a U.S. Person, a U.S. Person and Affidavit Pursuant to Sections 860D(a)(6)(A) and 860E(e)(4) of the Code, and (C) if the proposed transferee is a Non-U.S. Person, a Non-U.S. Person Affidavit and Affidavit Pursuant to Sections 860D(a)(6)(A) and 860E(e)(4) of the Code, and (ii) the interest transferred involves the entire interest in a Residual Certificate or an undivided interest therein (unless the transferor or the transferee provides the Trustee with an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be an expense of the Trustee) that the transfer will not jeopardize the REMIC status of any related REMIC). Furthermore, if a proposed transfer involves a Rule 144A Security, the Trustee shall require the transferee to certify as to facts that, if true, would mean that the proposed transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer; and, if a proposed transfer involves a Private Certificate that is not a Rule 144A Security, (1) the Trustee shall require that the transferee certify as to the factual basis for the registration exemption(s) relied upon, and (2) if the transfer is made within two years from the acquisition of the Certificate by a non-Affiliate of the Depositor from the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, the Trustee also may require an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made without registration or qualification under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of the Trustee. In any event, the Trustee shall not effect any transfer of a Residual Certificate except upon notification of such transfer to the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the initial transfer of the Residual Certificates or their transfer by a broker or dealer, if such broker or dealer was the initial transferee. Notwithstanding the fulfillment of the prerequisites described above, the Trustee may refuse to recognize any transfer to the extent necessary to avoid a risk of disqualification of any related REMIC as a REMIC or the imposition of a tax upon any such REMIC.

Upon notice to the Trustee that any legal or beneficial interest in any portion of the Residual Certificates has been transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Disqualified Organization or agent thereof (including a broker, nominee, or middleman) in contravention of the foregoing restrictions, (i) such transferee shall be deemed to hold the Residual Certificate in constructive trust for the last transferor who was not a Disqualified Organization or agent thereof, and such transferor shall be restored as the owner of such Residual Certificate as completely as if such transfer had never occurred, provided that the Trustee may, but is not required to, recover any distributions made to such transferee with respect to the Residual Certificate and return such recovery to the transferor, and (ii) the Trustee agrees to furnish to the Internal Revenue Service and to any transferor of the Residual Certificate or such agent (within 60 days of the request therefor by the transferor or agent) such information necessary for the computation of the tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code and as otherwise may be required by the Code, including but not limited to the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions with respect to the Residual Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods after such transfer. At the election of the Trustee, the cost to the Trustee of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the transferor or such agent referred to above; however, the Trustee shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.

If a tax or a reporting cost is borne by any REMIC as a result of the transfer of a Residual Certificate or any beneficial interest therein in violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section, the transferor shall pay such tax or cost and, if such tax or cost is not so paid, the Trustee shall pay such tax or cost with amounts that otherwise would have been paid to the transferee of the Residual Certificate (or beneficial interest therein). In that event, neither the transferee nor the transferor shall have any right to seek repayment of such amounts from the Depositor, the Trustee, any REMIC, or the other Holders of any of the Certificates, and none of such parties shall have any liability for payment of any such tax or reporting cost.

Section 5.06

Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, or the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual knowledge by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and cause the Certificate Registrar to authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and of like tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate pursuant to this Section, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 5.07

Persons Deemed Owners.

Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 5.08

Appointment of Paying Agent.

The Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent for the purpose of making distributions to Certificateholders. The Trustee shall cause such Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for the payment to Certificateholders in an Eligible Account in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to the Certificateholders. All funds remitted by the Trustee to any such Paying Agent for the purpose of making distributions shall be paid to Certificateholders on each Distribution Date and any amounts not so paid shall be returned on such Distribution Date to the Trustee.

ARTICLE VI

THE DEPOSITOR

Section 6.01

Liability of the Depositor.

The Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by the Trust Agreement and undertaken by the Depositor under the Trust Agreement.

Section 6.02

Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor.

Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in full effect its corporate existence, rights and franchises under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of the Trust Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under the Trust Agreement.

The Depositor may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of their respective assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, shall be the successor of the Depositor 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.

ARTICLE VII

TERMINATION OF SERVICING ARRANGEMENTS

Section 7.01

Termination and Substitution of Servicer.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default for which the Servicer may be terminated pursuant to any Servicing Agreement, the Trustee may, and upon direction of the Certificateholders evidencing not less than 51% of the Voting Rights, shall, terminate such Servicing Agreement. The Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 66% of the Voting Rights of Certificates affected by Event of Default) may waive such Event of Default; provided, however, that (a) an Event of Default with respect to any Servicer’s obligation to make Advances may be waived only by all of the holders of the Certificates affected by such Event of Default and (b) no such waiver is permitted that would materially adversely affect any non-consenting Certificateholder. Subject to the conditions set forth below in this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall concurrently with such termination either enter into a substitute Servicing Agreement or appoint another servicer to enter into a substitute Servicing Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may not terminate the Servicer without cause unless a successor servicer is appointed concurrently with such termination, and such successor servicer pays the Servicer the full amount of any liquidated damages required under the Servicing Agreement. In no event shall the liquidated damages be an expense of the Trustee.

If the Trustee terminates any Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall enter into a substitute Servicing Agreement with another mortgage loan service company acceptable to the Rating Agency under which such mortgage loan service company shall assume, satisfy, perform and carry out all liabilities, duties, responsibilities and obligations that are to be, or otherwise were to have been, satisfied, performed and carried out by the Servicer under such terminated Servicing Agreement. Such successor Servicer shall be a mortgage loan servicing institution, with a net worth of at least $25,000,000. In the event that the Trustee cannot appoint a substitute Servicer, it shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a substitute Servicer meeting the foregoing requirements.

In the event any Servicer resigns or is terminated as provided above, then the Trustee shall serve as successor Servicer and shall succeed to, satisfy, perform and carry out all obligations which otherwise were to have been satisfied, performed and carried out by such Servicer under the terminated Servicing Agreement. However, in no event shall the Trustee be deemed to have assumed the obligations of a Servicer to purchase any Mortgage Loan from the Trust pursuant to any Servicing Agreement. As compensation to the Trustee for any servicing obligations fulfilled or assumed by the Trustee, the Trustee shall be entitled to any servicing compensation to which such Servicer would have been entitled if the Servicing Agreement with such Servicer had not been terminated.

No Certificateholder, solely by virtue of such holder’s status as a Certificateholder, will have any right under the Trust Agreement to institute any proceeding with respect to the Trust Agreement or any Sale Agreement, Servicing Agreement, Custody Agreement or Assignment Agreement, unless such holder previously has given to the Trustee written notice of default and unless the Certificateholders evidencing at least 25% of Voting Rights have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such proceeding in its own name and have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee for 60 days has neglected or refused to institute any such proceeding.

Section 7.02

Notification to Certificateholders.

(a)

Upon any termination pursuant to Section 7.01 above or appointment of a successor to any Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register, and to each Rating Agency.

(b)

Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default involving the Servicer, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates and each Rating Agency notice of each such Event of Default or occurrence known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee unless such default shall have been cured or waived.

ARTICLE VIII

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

Section 8.01

Duties of Trustee.

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of any such Events of Default, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Trust Agreement. During an Event of Default relating to the Trustee of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has notice, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Trust Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

The Trustee upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, reports, documents, orders or other instruments created by any Person other than itself and furnished to it which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of the Trust Agreement, Custody Agreement, Servicing Agreement, Sale Agreement or Assignment Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of such agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be under any duty to recalculate, verify or recompute the information provided to it hereunder by the Servicer or the Depositor. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of such agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall take action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to its satisfaction, then it will provide notice thereof to the other and to the Certificateholders.

No provision of the Trust Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:

(a)

Prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing of all of such Events of Default, the respective duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of the Trust Agreement (including the obligation of the Trustee to enforce each Servicing Agreement against the related Servicer, each Custody Agreement against the related Custodian, each Sale Agreement against the related Seller, each Assignment Agreement against GSMC and otherwise to act as owner under such agreements for the benefit of the Certificateholders), the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of the respective duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in the Trust Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the Trust Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee that conform to the requirements of the Trust Agreement;

(b)

The Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by an Officer of the Trustee unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(c)

The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under the Trust Agreement;

(d)

Any determination of negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or breach of conduct of the Trustee shall be made only upon a finding that there is clear and convincing evidence (and not upon the mere preponderance of evidence) thereof in a proceeding before a court of competent jurisdiction in which the Trustee has had an opportunity to defend; and

(e)

In no event shall the Trustee be held liable for the actions or omissions of any Servicer or Custodian (excepting the Trustee’s own actions as Servicer or Custodian). Prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing of all such Events of Default, other than those obligations assumed by the Trustee as successor Servicer under Article VII, no provision of the Trust Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it unless such risk or liability relates to duties set forth herein.

Section 8.02

Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.

(a)

Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01 hereof:

Further, the Trustee may accept a copy of the vote of the Board of Directors of any party certified by its clerk or assistant clerk or secretary or assistant secretary as conclusive evidence of the authority of any person to act in accordance with such vote, and such vote may be considered as in full force and effect until receipt by the Trustee of written notice to the contrary;

(ii)

The Trustee may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon a certificate of an Officer of the appropriate Person whenever in the administration of the Trust Agreement the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder;

(iii)

The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such written advice or Opinion of Counsel;

(iv)

The Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by the Trust Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation thereunder or in relation thereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of the Trust Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;

(v)

(vii)

The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers under the Trust Agreement or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it under the Trust Agreement, provided that any agent appointed by the Trustee hereunder shall be entitled to all of the protections of the Trustee under this Agreement including, without limitation, the indemnification provided for under Section 8.05 hereof;

(viii)

Whenever the Trustee is authorized herein to require acts or documents in addition to those required to be provided it in any matter, it shall be under no obligation to make any determination whether or not such additional acts or documents should be required unless obligated to do so under Section 8.01;

(ix)

The permissive right or authority of the Trustee to take any action enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty or obligation;

(x)

The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any matter, including without limitation any Event of Default, unless one of its Responsible Officers has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice thereof is received by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and such notice references the applicable Certificates generally, the applicable Servicer or Seller, the Trust or this Agreement;

(xi)

The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability for the performance of any of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or powers (except with respect to its obligation to make Trustee Advances pursuant hereto) if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of any Servicer under this Agreement except with respect to the Trustee’s obligation to make Trustee Advances pursuant hereto and during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, any Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(xii)

Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and without limiting the generality of this Section 8.02, the Trustee shall not have any duty (A) to see to any recording, filing or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see the maintenance of any such recording of filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing any thereof, (B) to see to any insurance, (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Estate other than from funds available in the Certificate Account, or (D) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of any Servicer delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(xiii)

The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the Trust Estate created hereby or the powers granted hereunder; and

(xiv)

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(b)

All rights of action under the Trust Agreement or under any of the Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee may be enforced by it without the possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the benefit of all the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of the Trust Agreement. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Section 8.03

Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.

The recitals contained in the Trust Agreement and in the Certificates (other than the signature of the Trustee, the acknowledgments by the Trustee in Section 2.02 hereof and the representations and warranties made in Section 8.13 hereof) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations or warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of the Trust Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the signature of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Certificate Account or Collection Account other than any funds held by or on behalf of the Trustee in accordance with Sections 3.01 and 3.02 or as owner of the Regular Interests of any REMIC.

Section 8.04

The Trustee in its individual capacity or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

Section 8.05

Trustee’s Fees and Expenses.

Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall be entitled to (i) the Trustee Fee (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts created under the Trust Agreement and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties thereunder of the Trustee and (ii) reimbursement for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of the Trust Agreement (including but not limited to 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, bad faith, willful misconduct or breach of contract. The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Estate against any loss, liability or expense thereof, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred, arising out of or in connection with the Trust Agreement, any custody agreement or the Certificates, including, but not limited to, any such loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with any legal action against the Trust or the Trustee or any director, officer, employee or agent thereof, or the performance of any of the Trustee’s duties under the Trust Agreement other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence, willful misconduct or breach of contract in the performance of duties under the Trust Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under the Trust Agreement. The provisions of this Section 8.05 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

Section 8.06

Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

The Trustee shall at all times be a corporation or national banking association that is not an Affiliate of the Depositor organized and doing business under the laws of any state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such corporation publishes reports of its conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of conditions so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.

Section 8.07

Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.

The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts created pursuant to the Trust Agreement by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor and to all Certificateholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and to the successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Depositor, the Certificateholders and each Servicer by the Depositor. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

The Depositor may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and to the successor trustee. If the Depositor executes such an instrument, then the Depositor shall deliver a copy of such instrument to the Certificateholders, the Trustee and each Servicer.

The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to each of the Depositor, the Trustee so removed and the successor trustee so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and each Servicer and Seller by the Depositor.

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08 hereof.

Section 8.08

Successor Trustee.

Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to the predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under the Trust Agreement and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor thereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee therein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee, all Trustee Mortgage Loan Files and related documents and statements held by it under the Trust Agreement and the Depositor and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee, all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee under the Trust Agreement to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the appointment of any successor Trustee pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement will be subject to the prior written consent of the Trustee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 8.09

Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee shall be the successor of the Trustee under the Trust Agreement, provided such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 8.10

Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

For the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust or property securing the same may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Depositor and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Depositor shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee(s) hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereof and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.

In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.

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 the Trust Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. 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 the Trust Agreement, specifically including every provision of the Trust 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. No trustee (including the Trustee) shall be responsible for the actions of any co-trustee.

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 the Trust 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 8.11

Appointment of Custodians.

The Trustee may appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Trustee Mortgage Loan Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a custody agreement. The appointment of any Custodian may at any time be terminated and a substitute custodian appointed therefor by the Trustee. Subject to Article VIII, the Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each custody agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each Custodian shall be a depository institution or trust company subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 and shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Trustee Mortgage Loan File. Any such Custodian may not be an affiliate of the Depositor or any Seller or Servicer. The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for the acts or omissions of any Custodian appointed by it hereunder (except for a Custodian which is an affiliate of the Trustee). Except as otherwise provided in the Custody Agreement, any fees, expenses and other amounts (except for amounts due as a result of indemnification provisions) due to a Custodian shall be the responsibility of the related Servicer. Any indemnification due a Custodian under a Custody Agreement shall be an obligation of the Trust and payable out of the Trust Estate, and reimbursed in accordance with the Trust Agreement.

Section 8.12

Appointment of Office or Agent.

The Trustee shall appoint an office or agent in The City of New York where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Certificates and the Trust Agreement may be served.

Section 8.13

Representation and Warranties of the Trustee.

The Trustee hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor that as of the Closing Date or as of such other date specifically provided herein:

(a)

(c)

(d)

The execution and delivery of this Trust Agreement by it have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on its part; neither the execution and delivery by it of the Trust Agreement, nor consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance by it with the provisions thereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the provisions of its articles of organization or by-laws or any law, governmental rule or regulation or any judgment, decree or order binding on it to its knowledge or any of its properties, or any of the provisions of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, contract or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound;

(e)

There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to its knowledge, threatened or asserted against it, before or by any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body (A) with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Trust Agreement or (B) with respect to any other matter which in its judgment will be determined adversely to it and will if determined adversely to it materially adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under the Trust Agreement; and

(f)

It meets all of the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 8.06 thereof.

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION OF TRUST

Section 9.01

Qualified Liquidation.

The Provisions of this Article IX are subject to the requirement that any termination shall be a “qualified liquidation” of each associated REMIC unless 100% of the affected holders of interests in each such REMIC have consented to waive such requirements. For this purpose “affected holders” shall mean each holder of a regular or residual interest which would likely receive a smaller amount in final distributions if the termination were not a “qualified liquidation” and REMIC owed taxes as a result hereof.

Section 9.02

Termination.

The Servicer designated in Section 4.03 of the Trust Agreement may, at its option, make or cause a Person to make a Terminating Purchase for the Termination Price at the time and on the terms and conditions specified in the Trust Agreement. Upon such Terminating Purchase or the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust or the disposition of the last REO Property remaining in the Trust, the respective obligations and responsibilities under the Trust Agreement of the Depositor, the Trustee shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required hereunder to be so paid and upon deposit of unclaimed funds otherwise distributable to Certificateholders in the Termination Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Trust created hereby continue beyond 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. James’s, living on the date hereof.

The Trust also may be terminated and the Certificates retired if the Trustee determines, based upon an Opinion of Counsel, that the REMIC status of any related REMIC has been lost or that a substantial risk exists that such REMIC status will be lost for the then-current taxable year.

Section 9.03

Procedure for Termination.

The Depositor shall advise the Trustee in writing of its election to cause a Terminating Purchase, no later than the Distribution Date in the month preceding the Distribution Date on which the Terminating Purchase will occur.

Notice of the Distribution Date on which any such termination shall occur (or the Distribution Date on which final payment or other Liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust or the disposition of the last REO Property remaining in the Trust will be distributed to Certificateholders, as reflected in the Remittance Report for such month (the “Final Distribution Date”) shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with a Terminating Purchase, not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the last day of the month preceding the month of such final distribution or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the Remittance Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Final Distribution Date and that final payment of the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein designated on that date, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Final Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trustee. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given in connection with a Terminating Purchase, the purchaser shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account on the Business Day immediately preceding the Final Distribution Date an amount in next day funds equal to the Termination Price, as the case may be.

Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates on a Distribution Date by Certificateholders, the Trustee shall distribute to Certificateholders (A) the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date, if not in connection with Terminating Purchase, or (B) if in connection with a Terminating Purchase, an amount determined as follows: with respect to each Certificate with an outstanding Certificate Balance, the outstanding Certificate Balance thereof, plus interest thereon through the Accounting Date preceding the Distribution Date fixed for termination and any previously unpaid interest, net of unrealized losses, Realized Interest Shortfall and Shortfall with respect thereto; and in addition, with respect to each Residual Certificate, the Percentage Interest evidenced thereby multiplied by the difference between the Termination Price and the aggregate amount to be distributed as provided in the first clause of this sentence and the next succeeding sentence.

Upon the deposit of the Termination Price in the Certificate Account, the Trustee, and any Custodian acting as its agent, shall promptly release to the purchaser the Trustee Mortgage Loan Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments without recourse necessary to effectuate such transfer. The Trust shall terminate immediately following the deposit of funds in the Termination Account as provided below.

In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates within six months after the Final Distribution Date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates and receive the final distribution with respect thereto, net of the cost of such second notice. If within one year after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee 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 amounts otherwise payable on such Certificates. Any funds payable to Certificateholders that are not distributed on the Final Distribution Date shall be deposited in a Termination Account, which shall be an Eligible Account, to be held for the benefit of Certificateholders not presenting and surrendering their Certificates in the aforesaid manner, and shall be disposed of in accordance with this Section. The Trustee shall establish the Termination Accounts, which shall be Eligible Accounts, on or about the Closing Date.

Section 9.04

Additional Termination Requirements.

(a)

In the event of a Terminating Purchase as provided in Section 9.02, the Trust shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee receives (i) a Special Tax Opinion and (ii) a Special Tax Consent from each of the Holders of the Residual Certificates (unless the Special Tax Opinion specially provides that no REMIC-level tax will result from the Terminating Purchase):

(A)

Within 90 days prior to the Final Distribution Date, the Depositor and the Trustee on behalf of the related REMIC shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation meeting the requirements of a qualified liquidation under the REMIC Provisions (which plan may be adopted by the Trustee’s attachment of a statement specifying the first day of the 90-day liquidation period to the REMIC’s final federal income tax return) and the REMIC will sell all of its assets (other than cash);

(B)

Upon making final payment on the Regular Certificates or the deposit of any unclaimed funds otherwise distributable to the holders of the Regular Certificates in the Termination Account on the Final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, pro rata, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates all cash on hand relating to the REMIC after such final payment (other than cash retained to meet claims), and the REMIC shall terminate at that time; and

(C)

In no event may the final payment on the Certificates be made after the 90th day from the date on which the plan of complete liquidation is adopted. A payment into the Termination Account with respect to any Certificate pursuant to Section 9.03 shall be deemed a final payment on, or final distribution with respect to, such Certificate for the purposes of this clause.

(b)

By its acceptance of a Residual Certificate, the Holder thereof hereby (i) authorizes such action as may be necessary to adopt a plan of complete liquidation of any related REMIC and (ii) agrees to take such action as may be necessary to adopt a plan of complete liquidation of any related REMIC upon the written request of the Trustee, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor Holders of Residual Certificates.

ARTICLE X

REMIC TAX PROVISIONS

Section 10.01

REMIC Administration.

(a)

(ii)

In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Trustee reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates (security instruments), 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, promptly upon request therefor, any additional information or data that the Trustee may from time to time reasonably request in order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein.

(b)

The Trustee shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC, including but not limited to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to such REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee in fulfilling its duties hereunder (including its duties as tax return preparer). The Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of the expenses to the extent provided in clause (i) above from the Certificate Account, but only to the extent such expenses are “unanticipated expenses” for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii).

(c)

The Trustee shall prepare any necessary forms for election as well as all of the Trust’s and each REMIC’s federal and New York tax and information returns. The Trustee shall sign and file such returns on behalf of each REMIC. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee.

(d)

The Trustee shall perform all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of the Trust and each REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or New York tax law.

(e)

The Depositor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Residual Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of such REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status.

(f)

The Depositor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Residual Certificates shall not take any action, or fail to take any action, or cause any REMIC to take any action or fail to take any action that, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could endanger the status of any such REMIC as a REMIC unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take or to fail to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action or failure to act will not endanger such status.

(g)

Any taxes that are imposed upon the Trust or any REMIC by federal or state (including local) governmental authorities (other than taxes paid by a party pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof or as provided in the following sentence) shall be allocated in the same manner as Realized Losses are allocated. Any state (or local) taxes imposed upon the Trust or any REMIC that would not have been imposed on the Trust or such REMIC in the absence of any legal or business connection between the Trustee and the state (or locality) imposing such taxes shall be paid by the Trustee, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Standard Terms, such taxes shall be deemed to be part of the Trustee’s cost of doing business and shall not be reimbursable to the Trustee.

(h)

The Trustee or an Affiliate shall acquire a Residual Certificate in each REMIC and the Trustee will act as the Tax Matters Person of each REMIC and perform various tax administration functions of each REMIC as its agent, as set forth in this Section. If the Trustee or an Affiliate is unable for any reason to fulfill its duties as Tax Matters Person for a REMIC, the holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Residual Certificates in such REMIC shall become the successor Tax Matters Person of such REMIC.

Section 10.02

Prohibited Activities.

Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement, neither the Depositor, the Holders of the Residual Certificates, nor the Trustee shall engage in, nor shall the Trustee permit, any of the following transactions or activities unless it has received (a) a Special Tax Opinion and (b) a Special Tax Consent from each of the Holders of the Residual Certificates (unless the Special Tax Opinion specially provides that no REMIC-level tax will result from the transaction or activity in question):

(i)

the sale or other disposition of, or substitution for, any of the Mortgage Loans except pursuant to (A) a foreclosure or default with respect to such Mortgage Loans, (B) the bankruptcy or insolvency of any REMIC, (C) the termination of any REMIC pursuant to Section 9.02, or (D) a purchase in accordance with Section 2.03;

the sale or other disposition of any investment in the Certificate Account or the Distribution Account at a gain;

(iv)

the sale or other disposition of any asset held in a Reserve Fund for a period of less than three months (a “Short-Term Reserve Fund Investment”) if such sale or disposition would cause 30% or more of a REMIC’s income from such Reserve Fund for the taxable year to consist of a gain from the sale or disposition of Short-Term Reserve Fund Investments;

(v)

the withdrawal of any amounts from any Reserve Fund except (A) for the distribution pro rata to the Holders of the Residual Certificates or (B) to provide for the payment of Trust expenses or amounts payable on the Certificates in the event of defaults or late payments on the Mortgage Loans or lower than expected returns on funds held in the Certificate Account or the Distribution Account, as provided under Section 860G(a)(7) of the Code;

except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a default, or as to which, in the reasonable judgment of any Servicer, default is reasonably foreseeable, the Trustee shall not permit any modification of any material term of a Mortgage Loan (including, but not limited to, the interest rate, the principal balance, the amortization schedule, the remaining term to maturity, or any other term affecting the amount or timing of payments on the Mortgage Loan) unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to modify the Mortgage Loan) to the effect that such modification would not be treated as giving rise to a new debt instrument for REMIC purposes; or

(viii)

any other transaction or activity that is not contemplated by the Trust Agreement.

Any party causing the Trust to engage in any of the activities prohibited in this Section shall be liable for the payment of any tax imposed on the Trust pursuant to Code section 860F(a)(1) or 860G(d) as a result of the Trust engaging in such activities.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 11.01

Amendment of Trust Agreement.

The Trust Agreement may be amended or supplemented from time to time by the Depositor and the Trustee without the consent of any of the Certificateholders to (a) cure any ambiguity, (b) correct or supplement any provisions herein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions herein, (c) modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or appropriate to maintain the qualification of the Trust (or any assets thereof) either as a REMIC, as applicable under the Code at all times that any Certificates are outstanding or (d) make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Trust Agreement or matters arising with respect to the Trust which are not covered by the Trust Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of the Trust Agreement, provided that such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder. Any such amendment or supplement shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect any Certificateholder if there is delivered to the Trustee written notification from each Rating Agency that rated the applicable Certificates to the effect that such amendment or supplement will not cause that Rating Agency to reduce the then current rating assigned to such Certificates, as well as an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment or supplement will not result in the loss by the Trust or the assets thereof of REMIC status.

The Trust Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Trust Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (A) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (B) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates, or (C) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, unless each Holder of a Certificate affected by such amendment consents. For purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 11.01, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or an Affiliate shall be entitled to Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such Certificates.

Prior to consenting to any amendment, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel from the Depositor stating that the proposed amendment is authorized and permitted pursuant to this Trust Agreement.

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee shall notify Certificateholders of such amendment and, upon written request, furnish a copy of such amendment to any Certificateholder.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 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 11.02

Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

To the extent required by applicable law, the Trust Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Trustee at the expense of the Trust, but only if such recordation is requested by the Depositor and accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be an expense of the Depositor or the Trustee) to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.

For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of the Trust Agreement as herein provided and for any other purpose the Trust 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 11.03

Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.

The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate the Trust Agreement or the Trust, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.

No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to the Trust Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of the Trust Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to the Trust Agreement or any Sale Agreement, Servicing Agreement, Custody Agreement or Assignment Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee under the Trust Agreement and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 15 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of any provision of the Trust Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under the Trust Agreement, except in the manner therein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Section 11.04

[Reserved].

Section 11.05

A copy of any notice given hereunder to any other party shall be delivered to the Trustee.

Section 11.06

Severability of Provision.

If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of the Trust Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of the Trust Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of the Trust Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.

Section 11.07

Sale of Mortgage Loans.

It is the express intent of the Depositor and the Trustee that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement be construed as a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention of the Depositor and the Trustee that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to continue to be property of the Depositor then (a) the Trust Agreement also shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC; (b) the conveyance by the Depositor provided for in the Trust Agreement shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all 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, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in any Collection Account or the Certificate Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Trustee or its agent of Notes and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-313 of the UCC; 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 Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Depositor and the Trustee shall, to the extent consistent with the Trust Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if the Trust 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 Trust Agreement.

Section 11.08

Re:

Trust Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2003, among GS Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Trustee of GSR Mortgage Loan Trust 2003-2F

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with the purchase on the date hereof of the captioned securities (the “Residual Certificate”), to be issued pursuant to the Trust Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2003, among GS Mortgage Securities Corp., as trustee (the “Trustee”) which incorporates by reference the Standard Terms to Trust Agreement, February 2003 Edition (the “Standard Terms to Trust Agreement”) (collectively, the “Trust Agreement”), the undersigned hereby certifies and covenants to the transferor, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust as follows:

We certify that on the date hereof we have simultaneously herewith delivered to you an affidavit certifying, among other things, that (A) we are not a Disqualified Organization and (B) we are not purchasing such Residual Certificate on behalf of a Disqualified Organization. We understand that any breach by us of this certification may cause us to be liable for a tax imposed upon transfers to Disqualified Organizations.

We acknowledge that we will be the beneficial owner of the Residual Certificate and that the Residual Certificate will be registered in our name and not in the name of a nominee.

We certify that no purpose of our purchase of the Residual Certificate is to avoid or impede the assessment or collection of tax.

(A) We understand that the Residual Certificate represents for federal income tax purposes a “residual interest” in a real estate mortgage investment conduit and (B) we understand that as the holder of the Residual Certificate we will be required to take into account, in determining our taxable income, our pro rata percentage interest of the taxable income of each REMIC formed pursuant to the Trust Agreement in accordance with all applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

We understand that if, notwithstanding the transfer restrictions, any of the Residual Certificates is in fact transferred to a Disqualified Organization, a tax may be imposed on the transferor of such Residual Certificate. We agree that any breach by us of these representations shall render such transfer of such Residual Certificate by us absolutely null and void and shall cause no rights in the Residual Certificate to vest in the transferee.

The sale to us and our purchase of the Residual Certificates constitutes a sale for tax and all other purposes and each party thereto has received due and adequate consideration. In our view, the transaction represents fair value, representing the results of arms length negotiations and taking into account our analysis of the tax and other consequences of investment in the Residual Certificates.

Unless this provision is explicitly waived by the transferor to us of the Residual Certificates, we expect that the purchase of the Residual Certificates, together with the receipt of the price, if any, therefor will be economically neutral or profitable to us overall, after all related expenses (including taxes) have been paid and based on conservative assumptions with respect to discount rates, prepayments and other factors necessary to evaluate profitability.

We are a “U.S. Person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code. We are duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of our organization. We are neither bankrupt nor insolvent nor do we have reason to believe that we will become bankrupt or insolvent. We have conducted and are conducting our business so as to comply in all material respects with all applicable statutes and regulations. The person executing and delivering this letter on our behalf is duly authorized to do so, the execution and delivery by us of this letter and the consummation of the transaction on the terms set forth herein are within our corporate power, and upon such execution and delivery, this letter will constitute our legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against us in accordance with its terms, subject, as to the enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and other laws affecting the right of creditors generally and to general principles of equity and the discretion of the court (regardless of whether enforcement of such remedies is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Neither the execution and delivery by us of this letter, nor the compliance by us with the provisions hereof, nor the consummation by us of the transactions as set forth herein, will (A) conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default or result in the acceleration of any obligation under, our certificate of incorporation or by-laws or, after giving effect to the consents or the taking of the actions contemplated by clause (B) of this subparagraph, any of the provisions of any law, governmental rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on us or our properties, or any of the provisions of any indenture or mortgage or any other contract or instrument to which we are a party or by which we or any of our properties is bound, or (B) require the consent of or notice to or any filing with, any person, entity or governmental body, which has not been obtained or made by us.

10.

We anticipate being a profit-making entity on an ongoing basis.

11.

We have filed all required federal and state income tax returns and have paid all federal and state income taxes due; we intend to file and pay all such returns and taxes in the future. We acknowledge that as the holder of the Residual Certificates, to the extent the Residual Certificates would be treated as a noneconomic residual interest within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(2), we may incur tax liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the Residual Certificates and that we intend to pay taxes associated with holding the Residual Certificates as they become due.

12.

We agree that in the event that at some future time we wish to transfer any interest in the Residual Certificates, we will transfer such interest in the Residual Certificates only to a transferee that:

(a)

is not a Disqualified Organization and is not purchasing such interest in the Residual Certificates on behalf of a Disqualified Organization, and

(b)

has delivered to the Trustee a transferee agreement in the form of Exhibit D to the Standard Terms to Trust Agreement and an affidavit in the form of Exhibit G-1 or Exhibit G-2, as applicable, to the Standard Terms to Trust Agreement and, if requested by the Trustee, an opinion of counsel, in form acceptable to the Trustee, that the proposed transfer will not cause the Residual Certificates to be held by a Disqualified Organization.

13.

We are knowledgeable and experienced in financial, business and tax matters generally and in particular, the investment risks and tax consequences of REMIC residuals that provide little or no cash flow, and are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Residual Certificates; we are able to bear the economic risks of an investment in the Residual Certificates.

14.

In addition, we acknowledge that the Trustee will not register the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a transferee that is not a “U.S. Person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code.

15.

Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Standard Terms to Trust Agreement.

16.

We hereby designate the Trustee as our fiduciary to perform the duties of the tax matters person for each REMIC formed pursuant to the Trust Agreement.

Re:

GSR Mortgage Loan Trust

2003-2F (the “Trust”)

STATE OF ____________________

)

ss.:

CITY OF ______________________)

Under penalties of perjury, I, the undersigned, declare that to the best of my knowledge and belief, the following representations are true, correct and complete:

I am a duly authorized officer of ___________________ (the “Transferee”), and on behalf of which I have the authority to make this affidavit.

The Transferee is acquiring all or a portion of the securities (the “Residual Certificates”), which represent a residual interest in one or more real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC”) for which elections are to be made under Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The Transferee is a foreign person within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-3(a)(1) (i.e., a person other than (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation or partnership that is organized under the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction thereof or therein, (iii) an estate that is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of the source of its income or (iv) a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more United States Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust) who would be subject to United States income tax withholding pursuant to Section 1441 or 1442 of the Code on income derived from the Residual Certificates (a “Non-U.S. Person”).

The Transferee agrees that it will not hold the Residual Certificates in connection with a trade or business in the United States, and the Transferee understands that it will be subject to United States federal income tax under sections 871 and 881 of the Code in accordance with section 860G of the Code and any Treasury regulations issued thereunder on “excess inclusions” that accrue with respect to the Residual Certificates during the period the Transferee holds the Residual Certificates.

The Transferee understands that the federal income tax on excess inclusions with respect to the Residual Certificates may be withheld in accordance with section 860G(b) of the Code from distributions that otherwise would be made to the Transferee on the Residual Certificates and, to the extent that such tax has not been imposed previously, that such tax may be imposed at the time of disposition of any such Residual Certificate pursuant to section 860G(b) of the Code.

The Transferee agrees (i) to file a timely United States federal income tax return for the year in which disposition of a Residual Certificate it holds occurs (or earlier if required by law) and will pay any United States federal income tax due at that time and (ii) if any tax is due at that time, to provide satisfactory written evidence of payment of such tax to the Trustee or its designated paying agent or other person who is liable to withhold federal income tax from a distribution on the Residual Certificates under sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code and the regulations thereunder (the “Withholding Agent”).

The Transferee understands that until it provides written evidence of the payment of tax due upon the disposition of a Residual Certificate to the Withholding Agent pursuant to paragraph 6 above, the Withholding Agent may (i) withhold an amount equal to such tax from future distributions made with respect to the Residual Certificate to subsequent transferees (after giving effect to the withholding of taxes imposed on such subsequent transferees), and (ii) pay the withheld amount to the Internal Revenue Service.

The Transferee understands that (i) the Withholding Agent may withhold other amounts required to be withheld pursuant to United States federal income tax law, if any, from distributions that otherwise would be made to such transferee on each Residual Certificate it holds and (ii) the Withholding Agent may pay to the Internal Revenue Service amounts withheld on behalf of any and all former holders of each Residual Certificate held by the Transferee.

The Transferee understands that if it transfers a Residual Certificate (or any interest therein) to a United States Person (including a foreign person who is subject to net United States federal income taxation with respect to such Residual Certificate), the Withholding Agent may disregard the transfer for federal income tax purposes if the transfer would have the effect of allowing the Transferee to avoid tax on accrued excess inclusions and may continue to withhold tax from future distributions as though the Residual Certificate were still held by the Transferee.

10.

The Transferee understands that a transfer of a Residual Certificate (or any interest therein) to a Non-U.S. Person (i.e., a foreign person who is not subject to net United States federal income tax with respect to such Residual Certificate) will not be recognized unless the Withholding Agent has received from the transferee an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit containing these same agreements and representations.

11.

The Transferee understands that distributions on a Residual Certificate may be delayed, without interest, pending determination of amounts to be withheld.

12.

The Transferee is not a “Disqualified Organization” (as defined below), and the Transferee is not acquiring a Residual Certificate for the account of, or as agent or nominee of, or with a view to the transfer of direct or indirect record or beneficial ownership to, a Disqualified Organization. For the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is any of the following: (i) the United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, any foreign government, any international organization, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing; (ii) any organization (other than a xxxxxx’x cooperative as defined in Section 521 of the Code) that is exempt from federal income taxation (including taxation under the unrelated business taxable income provisions of the Code); (iii) any rural telephone or electrical service cooperative described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code; or (iv) any other entity treated as a “disqualified organization” within the meaning of Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code. In addition, a corporation will not be treated as an instrumentality of the United States or of any state or political subdivision thereof if all of its activities are subject to tax and, with the exception of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of its board of directors is not selected by such governmental unit.

13.

The Transferee agrees to consent to any amendment of the Trust Agreement that shall be deemed necessary by the Depositor (upon the advice of counsel to the Depositor) to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that no interest in a Residual Certificate will be owned directly or indirectly by a Disqualified Organization.

Under penalties of perjury, I, the undersigned declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the following representations are true, correct and complete:

I am a duly authorized officer of ______________________ (the “Transferee”), on behalf of which I have the authority to make this affidavit.

The Transferee either is (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a domestic partnership or corporation, (iii) an estate that is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of the source of its income, (iv) a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more United States Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (v) a foreign person who would be subject to United States income taxation on a net basis on income derived from the Residual Certificates (a “U.S. Person”).

The Transferee is a not a “Disqualified Organization” (as defined below), and the Transferee is not acquiring a Residual Certificate for the account of, or as agent or nominee of, or with a view to the transfer of direct or indirect record or beneficial ownership to, a Disqualified Organization. For the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is any of the following: (i) the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, any foreign government, any international organization, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing; (ii) any organization (other than a xxxxxx’x cooperative as defined in Section 521 of the Code) that is exempt from federal income taxation (including taxation under the unrelated business taxable income provisions of the Code); (iii) any rural telephone or electrical service cooperative described in § 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code; or (iv) any other entity treated as a “disqualified organization” within the meaning of Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code. In addition, a corporation will not be treated as an instrumentality of the United States or of any state or political subdivision thereof if all of its activities are subject to tax and, with the exception of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of its board of directors is not selected by such governmental unit.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be duly executed on its behalf, by its duly authorized officer this ____ day of ______, 20__.
