POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT

This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated as of May 1, 2005 (the “Agreement”), among XXXXXXX XXXXX MORTGAGE INVESTORS, INC., as depositor (the “Depositor”), XXXXX FARGO BANK, N.A., as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”) and WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

The Depositor intends to sell mortgage pass-through certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans (as defined herein). As provided herein, the Trustee will make, in accordance with Section 9.12, an election to treat the entire segregated pool of assets described in the definition of REMIC I (as defined herein), and subject to this Agreement, as a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a “REMIC”) for federal income tax purposes and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as “REMIC I.” The REMIC I Regular Interests will be the “regular interests” in REMIC I and the Class R-I Certificates will be the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein) under the federal income tax law. A segregated pool of assets consisting of the REMIC I Regular Interests will be designated as “REMIC II,” and the Trustee will make, in accordance with Section 9.12, a separate REMIC election with respect thereto. The REMIC II Regular Interests will be “regular interests” in REMIC II and the Class R-II Certificates will be the sole Class of “residual interests” in REMIC II for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. A segregated pool of assets consisting of the REMIC II Regular Interests will be designated as “REMIC III” and the REMIC Administrator will make a separate REMIC election with respect thereto. The Class I-A, Class II-A-1, Class II-A-2, Class II-A-IO, Class III-A, Class IV-A, Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates will be “regular interests” in REMIC III, and the Class R-III Certificates will be the sole class of “residual interests” therein for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein) under federal income tax law.

The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the REMIC I Pass-Through Rate, the initial Uncertificated Principal Balance and, for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date” for the REMIC I Regular Interest.

DEFINITIONS

Whenever used in this Agreement, the following words and phrases, unless otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires, shall have the meanings specified in this Article.

Accepted Master Servicing Practices: With respect to any Mortgage Loan, as applicable, either (x) those customary mortgage master servicing practices of prudent mortgage servicing institutions that master service mortgage loans of the same type and quality as such Mortgage Loan in the jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is located, to the extent applicable to the Trustee or the Master Servicer (except in its capacity as successor to a Servicer), or (y) as provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, to the extent applicable to any Servicer, but in no event below the standard set forth in clause (x).

Account: The Master Servicer Collection Account, Distribution Account and any Protected Account as the context may require.

Accrued Certificate Interest: With respect to each Class of Certificates, an amount equal to the interest accrued during the related Interest Accrual Period on the Class Certificate Balance or Notional Amount thereof at the then-applicable Pass-Through Rate. Accrued Certificate Interest on any Class of Certificates will be reduced by the amount of (i) Prepayment Interest Shortfalls (to the extent not offset by the related Servicer or Master Servicer with a payment of Compensating Interest as provided in Section 6.06), (ii) the interest portion of Excess Losses allocated to such Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 6.02 and (iii) any other interest shortfalls not covered by the subordination provided by the Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates, including shortfalls as a result of the Relief Act or similar legislation or regulations, with all such reductions allocated among all of the Certificates in proportion to their respective amounts of Accrued Certificate Interest payable on such Distribution Date which would have resulted absent such reductions.

Affiliate: As to any Person, any other Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Person. “Control” means the power to direct the management and policies of a Person, directly or indirectly, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. “Controlled” and “Controlling” have meanings correlative to the foregoing. The Trustee may conclusively presume that a Person is not an Affiliate of another Person unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge to the contrary.

Agreement: This Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including the exhibits hereto, and all amendments hereof and supplements hereto.

Applicable Credit Rating: For any long-term deposit or security, a credit rating of AAA in the case of Fitch and S&P or Aaa in the case of Xxxxx’x. For any short-term deposit or security, a rating of F-1+ in the case of Fitch or A-l+ in the case of S&P or P-1 in the case of Xxxxx’x.

Applicable Credit Support Percentage: With respect to any Class of Certificates, the sum of the related Class Subordination Percentages of such Class and all Classes of Subordinate Certificates which have a lower relative priority of payment than such Class.

Applicable State Law: For purposes of Section 9.12(d), the Applicable State Law shall be (a) the law of the State of New York and (b) such other state law whose applicability shall have been brought to the attention of the Securities Administrator and the Trustee by either (i) an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee delivered to it by the Master Servicer or the Depositor, or (ii) written notice from the appropriate taxing authority as to the applicability of such state law.

Appraised Value: For any Mortgaged Property related to a Mortgage Loan other than any Washington Mutual Loan, the amount set forth as the appraised value of such Mortgaged Property in an appraisal made for the mortgage originator in connection with its origination of the related Mortgage Loan. With respect to any Washington Mutual Loan, for any Mortgaged Property or Cooperative Unit, as applicable, the lesser of (i) the value thereof as determined by an appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan by an appraiser who met the minimum requirements of Washington Mutual’s Underwriting Guidelines, and (ii) the purchase price paid for the related Mortgaged Property or Cooperative Unit, as applicable, by the Mortgagor with the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan, provided, however, in the case of a Refinanced Mortgage Loan, such value of the Mortgaged Property or Cooperative Unit, as applicable, is based solely upon the value determined by an appraisal made for the originator of such Refinanced Mortgage Loan at the time of origination of such Refinanced Mortgage Loan by an appraiser who met the minimum requirements under the Washington Mutual’s Underwriting Guidelines.

Assignment: An assignment of the Mortgage, notice of transfer or equivalent instrument, in recordable form, sufficient under the laws of the jurisdiction wherein the related Mortgaged Property is located to reflect of record the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders, which assignment, notice of transfer or equivalent instrument may be in the form of one or more blanket assignments covering Mortgages secured by Mortgaged Properties located in the same county, if permitted by law and accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to that effect.

Assignment Agreements: The National City Assignment Agreement, the Countrywide Assignment Agreement, the PHH Assignment Agreement and the Washington Mutual Assignment Agreement, which are attached hereto as Exhibit I.

Assumed Final Distribution Date: For all Classes of Certificates, July 25, 2035, or if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day.

Available Funds: For any Distribution Date, the sum of the Group I Available Funds, Group II Available Funds, Group III Available Funds and the Group IV Available Funds.

Average Loss Severity: With respect to any period and each Loan Group, the fraction obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate amount of Realized Losses for the related Mortgage Loans for such period by (y) the number of related Mortgage Loans which had Realized Losses for such period.

Bankruptcy Code: The United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended as codified in 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1330.

Bankruptcy Loss Coverage Amount: As of any date of determination prior to the first anniversary of the Cut-off Date, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) $185,209 over (B) the aggregate amount of Bankruptcy Losses allocated solely to one or more specific Classes of Certificates in accordance with Section 6.02.

(A) the greater of (i) 0.0006 times the aggregate principal balance of all the Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool as of the Relevant Anniversary having a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination which exceeds 75% and (ii) $100,000; and (B) the greater of (i) the product of (x) an amount equal to the largest difference in the related Monthly Payment for any Non-Primary Residence Loan remaining in the Mortgage Pool which had an original Loan-to-Value Ratio greater than 80% that would result if the Net Mortgage Rate thereof was equal to the greater of (I) 5% or (II) the weighted average (based on the principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Relevant Anniversary) of the Net Mortgage Rates of all Mortgage Loans as of the Relevant Anniversary less 1.25% per annum, (y) a number equal to the weighted average remaining term to maturity, in months, of all Mortgage Loans with a Loan-to-Value Ratio of greater than 80% remaining in the Mortgage Pool as of the Relevant Anniversary, and (z) one plus the quotient of the number of all Non-Primary Residence Loans with a Loan-to-Value Ratio of greater than 80% remaining in the Mortgage Pool divided by the total number of outstanding Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool as of the Relevant Anniversary, and (ii) $50,000,

over (2) the aggregate amount of Bankruptcy Losses allocated solely to one or more specific Classes of Certificates in accordance with Section 6.02 since the Relevant Anniversary.

The Bankruptcy Loss Coverage Amount may be further reduced by the Depositor (including accelerating the manner in which such coverage is reduced) provided that prior to any such reduction, the Depositor shall (i) obtain written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such reduction shall not reduce the rating assigned to any Class of Certificates by such Rating Agency below the lower of the then-current rating or the rating assigned to such Certificates as of the Closing Date by such Rating Agency and (ii) provide a copy of such written confirmation to the Trustee.

On the Closing Date, the Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates and the Private Certificates) shall be Book-Entry Certificates.

provided, however, that in lieu of the foregoing, the Depositor may deliver the following documents, under the circumstances set forth below: (w) the Depositor may deliver a Mortgage Note pursuant to (A)(i) and (B)(i) endorsed in blank, provided that the endorsement is completed within 60 days of the Closing Date; (x) in lieu of the original Mortgage, assignments to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof which have been delivered, are being delivered or will, upon receipt of recording information relating to the Mortgage required to be included thereon, be delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned to the Depositor in time to permit their delivery as specified above, the Depositor may deliver a true copy thereof with a certification by the Depositor on the face of such copy, substantially as follows: “Certified to be a true and correct copy of the original, which has been transmitted for recording” and (y) in lieu of the Mortgage, assignment to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof, if the applicable jurisdiction retains the originals of such documents (as evidenced by a certification from the Depositor or the Master Servicer, to such effect) the Depositor may deliver photocopies of such documents containing an original certification by the judicial or other governmental authority of the jurisdiction where such documents were recorded; and provided, further, however, that in the case of Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents, may deliver to the Trustee a certification to such effect and shall deposit all amounts paid in respect of such Mortgage Loans in the Distribution Account on the Closing Date. The Depositor shall deliver such original documents (including any original documents as to which certified copies had previously been delivered) to the Trustee promptly after they are received.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Depositor fails to pay the cost of recording the assignments, such expense will be paid by the Trustee and the

Trustee shall be reimbursed for such expenses by the Trust Fund in accordance with Section 9.05.

If any original Mortgage Note referred to in Section 2.01(b)(I)(i) or 2.01(b)(II)(i) above cannot be located, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon delivery to the Trustee of a photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note affidavit. If any of the original Mortgage Notes for which a lost note affidavit was delivered to the Trustee is subsequently located, such original Mortgage Note shall be delivered to the Trustee within three Business Days.

Section 2.02

Acceptance of Mortgage Loans by Trustee.

(a) The Trustee acknowledges the sale, transfer and assignment of the Trust to it by the Depositor and receipt of, subject to further review and the exceptions which may be noted pursuant to the procedures described below, and declares that it, or the Custodian on its behalf, holds the documents (or certified copies thereof) delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01, and declares that it will continue to hold those documents and any amendments, replacements or supplements thereto and all other assets of the Trust Fund delivered to it as Trustee in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates. On or before the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan, within five Business Days after the receipt by the Trustee or Custodian thereof), the Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to review or cause to be reviewed by the Custodian on its behalf (under the Custodial Agreement), each Mortgage File delivered to it and to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Depositor on the Closing Date an Initial Certification. In conducting such review, the Trustee or Custodian will certify as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents constituting part of such Mortgage File (other than such documents described in Section 2.01(b)(I)(iii)) required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement are in its possession, provided that with respect to the documents described in Section 2.01(b)(I)(v), (vi), (viii) and (ix) and 2.01(b)(II)(viii) and (ix) to the extent the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf has actual knowledge that such documents exist, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and are not torn, mutilated, defaced or otherwise altered (except if initialed by the obligor) and appear to relate on their face to such Mortgage Loan, (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule corresponding to the loan number for the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagor's name, including the street address but excluding the zip code, the Mortgage Interest Rate and the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File and (iv) with respect to Mortgage Loans with a Mortgage Interest Rate subject to adjustment, the gross margin, the lifetime cap and the periodic cap for such Mortgage Loan. In

performing any such review, the Trustee, or the Custodian, as its agent, may conclusively rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf is under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or whether they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face, or to determine whether any Person executing any documents is authorized to do so or whether any signature is genuine. If the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, finds any document constituting part of the Mortgage File not to have been executed or received, or to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B or to appear to be defective on its face, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall promptly notify the Seller. In accordance with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall correct or cure any such defect within ninety (90) days from the date of notice from the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, of the defect and if the Seller fails to correct or cure the defect within such period, and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Trustee, shall enforce the Seller's obligation pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, within 90 days from the Trustee's or the Custodian's notification, to purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price; provided that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because the originals of such documents, or a certified copy have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if the Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such office; provided that the Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall be effected by the Seller within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document.

(b) No later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, will review, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Mortgage Files delivered to it and will execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to the Depositor a Final Certification. In conducting such review, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, will certify as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), that (i) all documents constituting part of such Mortgage File (other than such documents described in Section 2.01(b)(I)(v) and (ix)) required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement are in its possession, provided that with respect to the documents described in Section 2.01(b)(I)(v), (vi), (viii) and (ix) and 2.01(b)(II)(viii) and (ix) to the extent the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf has actual knowledge that such documents exist, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and are not torn, mutilated, defaced or

otherwise altered (except if initialed by the obligor) and appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan, (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule corresponding to the loan number for the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagor's name, including the street address but excluding the zip code, the Mortgage Interest Rate and the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File. In performing any such review, the Trustee, or the Custodian, as its agent, may conclusively rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf is under no duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or whether they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face, or to determine whether any Person executing any documents is authorized to do so or whether any signature is genuine. If the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, finds any document constituting part of the Mortgage File not to have been executed or received, or to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B or to appear to be defective on its face, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall promptly notify the Seller. In accordance with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall correct or cure any such defect within 90 days from the date of notice from the Trustee of the defect and if the Seller is unable to cure such defect within such period, and if such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall enforce the Seller's obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price, provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy, because the originals of such documents. or a certified copy, have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan, if the Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date.

(c) In the event that a Mortgage Loan is purchased by the Seller in accordance with Subsections 2.02(a) or (b) above, the Seller shall remit to the Master Servicer the Purchase Price for deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account and the Seller shall provide to the Trustee written notification detailing the components of the Purchase Price. Upon deposit of the Purchase Price in the Master Servicer Collection Account, the Depositor shall notify the Trustee and the Custodian and the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent (upon receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto with respect to such Mortgage Loan), shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, furnished to it by the Seller as are necessary to vest in the Seller title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan. Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Purchase Price in available funds is received by the Trustee. The Trustee shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule, which was previously delivered to it by Depositor in a form agreed to between the Depositor and the Trustee, to reflect such repurchase and shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies and the Master Servicer of such amendment. The obligation of the Seller to repurchase any Mortgage Loan as to which such a defect in a constituent document exists shall be the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Certificateholders or to the Trustee on their behalf.

Section 2.03

Assignment of Interest in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

(a) The Depositor hereby assigns to the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, all of its right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including but not limited to Depositor's rights and obligations pursuant to the Servicing Agreements (noting that the Seller has retained the right in the event of breach of the representations, warranties and covenants, if any, with respect to the related Mortgage Loans of the related Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement to enforce the provisions thereof and to seek all or any available remedies). The obligations of the Seller to substitute or repurchase, as applicable, a Mortgage Loan shall be the Trustee’s and the Certificateholders’ sole remedy for any breach thereof. At the request of the Trustee, the Depositor shall take such actions as may be necessary to enforce the above right, title and interest on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or shall execute such further documents as the Trustee may reasonably require in order to enable the Trustee to carry out such enforcement. With respect to the representations and warranties described in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement which are made to the best of the Seller's knowledge, if it is discovered by any of the Depositor, the Seller or the Trustee that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, then notwithstanding the Seller's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty.

(b) If the Depositor, the Master Servicer, Securities Administrator or the Trustee discovers a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, which breach materially and adversely affects the value of the interests of Certificateholders or the Trustee in the related Mortgage Loan, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice of the breach to the other parties. The Seller, within 90 days of its discovery or receipt of notice that such breach has occurred (whichever occurs earlier), shall cure the breach in all material respects or, subject to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, shall purchase the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto from the Trustee; provided, however, that if there is a breach of any representation set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, and the Mortgage Loan or the related property acquired with respect thereto has been sold, then the Seller shall pay, in lieu of the Purchase Price, any excess of the Purchase Price over the Net Liquidation Proceeds received upon such sale. (If the Net Liquidation Proceeds exceed the Purchase Price, any excess shall be paid to the Seller to the extent not required by law to be paid to the borrower.) Any such purchase by the Seller shall be made by providing an amount equal to the Purchase Price to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account and written notification detailing the components of such Purchase Price. The Depositor shall notify the Trustee and submit to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, a Request for Release, and the Trustee shall release, or the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release, to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment furnished to it by the Seller, without recourse, as are necessary to vest in the Seller title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto. Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Purchase Price in available funds is received by the Trustee. The Trustee or the Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such repurchase and shall promptly notify the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies of such amendment. Enforcement

of the obligation of the Seller to purchase (or substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for) any Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto (or pay the Purchase Price as set forth in the above proviso) as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee on their behalf.

Section 2.04 Substitution of Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in lieu of purchasing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Sections 2.02 or 2.03 of this Agreement, the Seller may, no later than the date by which such purchase by the Seller would otherwise be required, tender to the Trustee a Substitute Mortgage Loan accompanied by a certificate of an authorized officer of the Seller that such Substitute Mortgage Loan conforms to the requirements set forth in the definition of “Substitute Mortgage Loan” in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, that substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, in lieu of purchase shall not be permitted after the termination of the two-year period beginning on the Startup Day; provided, further, that if the breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date the breach was discovered. The Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall examine the Mortgage File for any Substitute Mortgage Loan in the manner set forth in Section 2.02(a) and the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall notify the Seller, in writing, within five Business Days after receipt, whether or not the documents relating to the Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfy the requirements of the fourth sentence of Subsection 2.02(a). Within two Business Days after such notification, the Seller shall provide to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account the amount, if any, by which the Outstanding Principal Balance as of the next preceding Due Date of the Mortgage Loan for which substitution is being made, after giving effect to Scheduled Principal due on such date, exceeds the Outstanding Principal Balance as of such date of the Substitute Mortgage Loan, after giving effect to Scheduled Principal due on such date, which amount shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as if it were the payment by the Seller of the Purchase Price for the purchase of a Mortgage Loan by the Seller. After such notification to the Seller and, if any such excess exists, upon receipt of such deposit, the Trustee shall accept such Substitute Mortgage Loan which shall thereafter be deemed to be a Mortgage Loan hereunder. In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the Substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Trust Fund and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Seller. The Scheduled Principal on a Substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the Seller and the Scheduled Principal on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on such Due Date shall be the property of the Trust Fund. Upon acceptance of the Substitute Mortgage Loan (and delivery to the Trustee or Custodian of a Request for Release for such Mortgage Loan), the Trustee shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File related to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, and shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, in form as provided to it as are necessary to vest in the Seller title to and rights under any Mortgage Loan released pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable. The Seller shall deliver the documents related to the Substitute

Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Subsections 2.01(b) and 2.02(b) of this Agreement, as applicable, with the date of acceptance of the Substitute Mortgage Loan deemed to be the Closing Date for purposes of the time periods set forth in those Subsections. The representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to have been made by the Seller with respect to each Substitute Mortgage Loan as of the date of acceptance of such Mortgage Loan by the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such substitution and shall provide a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies.

Section 2.05

Issuance of Certificates.

The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the Servicers to service and administer their respective Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and administration. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with each Servicer as necessary from time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by each Servicer and shall cause each Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by such Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor each Servicer's servicing activities with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicers' and Master Servicer's records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, the Master Servicer shall provide such information to the Securities Administrator as shall be necessary in order for it to prepare the statements specified in Section 6.04, and prepare any other information and statements required to be forwarded by the Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicers to the Protected Account pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreements.

If the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same entity, then at any time the Master Servicer is terminated as Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator shall likewise be removed as securities administrator.

The Trustee shall furnish the Servicers and the Master Servicer with any limited powers of attorney and other documents in form as provided to it necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicers and the Master Servicer to service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to the use of any such limited power of attorney.

The Trustee or the Custodian shall provide access to the records and documentation in possession of the Trustee or the Custodian regarding the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof to the Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the office of the Trustee or the Custodian; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law, the Trustee or the Custodian shall not be required to provide access to such records and documentation if the provision thereof would violate the legal right to privacy of any Mortgagor. The Trustee or the Custodian shall allow representatives of the above entities to photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that covers the Trustee's or the Custodian's actual costs.

The Trustee shall execute and deliver to the related Servicer and the Master Servicer upon request any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other documents necessary or desirable to (i) the foreclosure or trustee's sale with respect to a Mortgaged Property; (ii) any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Security Instrument; (iii) obtain a deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor; or (iv) enforce any other rights or remedies provided by the Mortgage Note or Security Instrument or otherwise available at law or equity.

In particular, the Trustee shall not (a) sell or permit the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any investment of deposits in an Account unless such sale is as a result of a repurchase of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement or the Trustee has received a REMIC Opinion prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund; and (b) other than with respect to a substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, accept any contribution to any REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt of a REMIC Opinion.

Section 3.03 Monitoring of Servicers. (a) The Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to the Trustee and the Depositor the compliance by each Servicer with its duties under the related Servicing Agreement. In the review of each Servicer's activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an officer's certificate of the Servicer with regard to such Servicer's compliance with the terms of its Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that a Servicer should be terminated in accordance with its Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to such Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate.

(b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or to cause the Trustee to enter in to a new Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer selected by the Master Servicer; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such successor Servicer. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Servicing Agreements and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense subject to Section 3.03(c), provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action.

(c) To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer related to any termination of a Servicer, appointment of a successor Servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with respect to any Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an event of default by such Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor service to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Master Servicer Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.03(b).

(d) The Master Servicer shall require each Servicer to comply with the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in the related Servicing Agreement.

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

Section 3.04 Fidelity Bond. The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on such Master Servicer's behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder. The errors and omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or trustees.

Section 3.05 Power to Act; Procedures. The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of Article X hereof, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities under Section 3.03, shall not permit any Servicer to) knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, would cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Master Servicer) to the effect that the contemplated action will not would cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon

REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III, as the case may be. The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing Officer, with any limited powers of attorney empowering the Master Servicer or any Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or any Servicer). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 9.11 hereof. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee.

Section 3.06 Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, to the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicers to enforce such clauses in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.07 Release of Mortgage Files. (a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by any Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes for payment to Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date, the Servicer or the Master Servicer will, if required under the applicable Servicing Agreement, promptly furnish to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, two copies of a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto signed by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment that are required to be deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the applicable Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01 or by the applicable Servicer pursuant to its Servicing Agreement have been or will be so deposited) and shall request that the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, deliver to the applicable Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall no later than five Business Days (or, to the extent that the applicable Servicer notifies the Seller that a document is not in the Servicer’s possession as part of the Servicing File which is needed for purposes of the Servicer complying with any applicable law, within such shorter period as may be necessary to enable the Servicer to comply with such law), release the related Mortgage File to the applicable Servicer and the Trustee and Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, each Servicer is authorized, to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that

secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Protected Account.

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

Section 3.08 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer To Be Held for Trustee.

Any funds received by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders subject to the Master Servicer's right to retain or withdraw from the Master Servicer Collection Account the Master Servicing Compensation and other amounts provided in this Agreement, and to the right of each Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee and other amounts as provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, and (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) shall cause each Servicer to, provide access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, its agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, and to Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or other regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during

normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such information.

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

Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or any Servicer in maintaining any such insurance if the Mortgagor defaults in its obligation to do so shall be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan where the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the distributions to be made to Certificateholders and shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer or such Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02 and 4.03.

Section 3.10 Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds. The Master Servicer shall (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) cause the related Servicer to, prepare and present on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under the Insurance Policies and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured's claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed to a Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such policies, bonds or contracts shall be promptly deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account upon receipt, except that any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to

the presentation of claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any applicable Insurance Policy need not be so deposited (or remitted).

Section 3.11

The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not permit any Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to, cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

(b) The Master Servicer agrees to present, or to cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to present, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.02, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or any Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.03.

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

(b) The Master Servicer shall, to the extent required by the related Servicing Agreement, cause the applicable Servicer to deposit all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in the Protected Account.

Prior to March 30, 2006 (and each year thereafter unless a Form 15D Suspension Notification has been filed pursuant to Section 3.18(d) below), the Master Servicer shall prepare and file a Form 10-K, in substance conforming to industry standards, with respect to the Trust Fund. Each such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits each Servicer's annual statement of compliance and annual accountant's report as described in the related Servicing Agreement, in each case to the extent timely delivered to the Master Servicer. If they are not so timely delivered, the Master Servicer shall file an amended Form 10-K including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the Master Servicer. The Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K, in compliance with Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and any additional directives of the Commission, which shall be signed by a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer. The Depositor hereby grants to the Master Servicer a limited power of attorney to execute and file the Form 8-K and Form 10-K on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until either the earlier of (i) receipt by the Master Servicer from the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund. The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Master Servicer, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the Master Servicer reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with

the Commission. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Master Servicer shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this Section 3.18; provided, however, the Master Servicer will cooperate with the Depositor in connection with any additional filings with respect to the Trust Fund as the Depositor deems necessary under the Exchange Act. Copies of all reports filed by the Master Servicer under the Exchange Act shall be sent to: the Depositor c/o Merrill Xxxxx & Co. Inc. Attn: Managing Director-Analysis and Control. Fees and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer in connection with this Section 3.18 shall not be reimbursable from the Trust Fund except as pursuant to Sections 7.04(c) hereof.

(b) The Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, the Depositor and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the Master Servicer's obligations under this Section 3.18 or the Master Servicer's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.

(c) If, after the Closing Date (a) the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 is amended, (b) Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Exchange Act and any related directives of the Commission are modified or superseded by any subsequent statement, rule, directive or regulation of the Commission or any division thereof, or (c) any future releases, rules and regulations are published by the Commission from time to time pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, which in any such case affect the form or substance of the required certification under Rule 13a-14 and 15d-14 of the Exchange Act such that, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer, the required certification is materially more onerous than the form of the requirement attached hereto as Exhibit K as of the Closing Date, the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Mortgage Loan Seller shall negotiate in good faith to determine how to amend the certification attached hereto as Exhibit K or any of the provisions in this Section 3.18 to comply with any such new requirements. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.18 may be amended by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee without the consent of the Certificateholders.

(d) Prior to January 30^th of the first year in which the Master Servicer is able to do so under applicable law, the Master Servicer shall file with the Commission a Form 15D Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust Fund.

(c) The Distribution Account shall constitute a trust account of the Trust Fund segregated on the books of the Trustee and held by the Trustee in trust in its Corporate Trust Office, and the Distribution Account and the funds deposited therein shall not be subject to, and shall be protected to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law from, all claims, liens, and encumbrances of any creditors or depositors of the Trustee or the Master Servicer (whether made directly, or indirectly through a liquidator or receiver of the Trustee or the Master Servicer). The Distribution Account shall be an Eligible Account. The amount at any time credited to the Distribution Account shall be (i) fully insured by the FDIC to the maximum coverage provided thereby or (ii) invested in the name of the Trustee, in such Permitted Investments selected by the Master Servicer or deposited in demand deposits with such depository institutions as selected by the Master Servicer, provided that time deposits of such depository institutions would be a Permitted Investment. All Permitted Investments shall mature or be subject to redemption or withdrawal on or before, and shall be held until, the next succeeding Distribution Date if the obligor for such Permitted Investment is the Trustee or, if such obligor is any other Person, the Business Day preceding such Distribution Date. All investment earnings on amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account or benefit from funds uninvested therein from time to time shall be for the account of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be permitted to withdraw or receive distribution of any and all investment earnings from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date.

The Certificates.

Each of the Class I-A, Class II-A-1, Class II-A-2, Class II-A-IO, Class III-A, Class IV-A, Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class R-I, Class R-II and Class R-III Certificates shall be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as exhibits, and shall, on original issue, be executed, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee to or upon the receipt of a written order to Authenticate from the Depositor concurrently with the sale and assignment to the Trustee of the Trust Fund. Each Class of the Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates) shall be initially evidenced by one or more Certificates representing a Percentage Interest with a minimum dollar denomination of $50,000 and integral dollar multiples of $1 in excess thereof, provided, however, that one Certificate of each such Class of Certificates may be in a different denomination so that the sum of the denominations of all outstanding Certificates of such Class shall equal the Class Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of such Class on the Closing Date. The Residual Certificates will be issued in registered, certificated form in minimum denominations of a 25% Percentage Interest.

The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust Fund by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by a Responsible Officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trust Fund, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless such Certificate shall have been manually authenticated by the Trustee substantially in the form provided for herein, and such authentication upon any Certificate 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 authentication. Subject to Section 5.02(c), the Certificates, other than the Residual Certificates (collectively, the “Private Certificates”), shall be Book-Entry Certificates.

Section 5.02

Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

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

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose pursuant to the foregoing paragraph and, in the case of a Class R Certificate, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same aggregate Percentage Interest.

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

(b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of such Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall for all purposes deal with the Depository as representative of the Certificate Owners for purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representative shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and Persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners; and (vii) the direct participants of the Depository shall have no rights under this Agreement under or with respect to any of the Certificates held on their behalf by the Depository, and the Depository may be treated by the Trustee and its agents, employees, officers and directors as the absolute owner of the Certificates for all purposes whatsoever.

All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners that it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. The parties hereto are hereby authorized to execute a representation letter with the Depository or take such other action as may be necessary or desirable to register a Book-Entry Certificate to the Depository. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any such representation letter and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(c) If (i)(x) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor, at its sole option, with the consent of the Trustee, elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Certificate Owners of each Class of Book-Entry Certificates representing Percentage Interests of such Classes aggregating not less than 51% advises the Trustee and the Depository Participants in

writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository to the exclusion of definitive, fully registered certificates (the “Definitive Certificates”) to Certificate Owners is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall, at the Depositor's expense, execute on behalf of the Trust and authenticate the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer, any Paying Agent and the Depositor shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

(d) Except with respect to the initial transfer of the Private Certificates by the Depositor, no transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Private Certificate shall be made unless such disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and laws. In the event of any such transfer, made in reliance upon an exemption from the 1933 Act, (i) the Trustee and the Depositor shall require (a) the transferor to execute a representation letter (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1) and the transferee to execute an investor representation letter (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2) and (b) a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the 1933 Act or is being made pursuant to the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor or (ii) the Trustee shall require the transferee to execute a Rule 144A Letter (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-3) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee certifying to the Depositor and the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which certificate shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor. The Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of Counsel described in this Section 5.02(d) will be required in connection with the first transfer by the Depositor or an Affiliate thereof of any Class R Certificate, and the Depositor or such Affiliate hereby agree only to make such a transfer to, to an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(d) of the 1933 Act.

No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor, (such requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee's receipt of a representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or F-3 hereto, as appropriate, on which the Trustee and Depositor is authorized to rely), to the effect that either (A) such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code (collectively, a “Plan”), nor a person acting on behalf of any such Plan or arrangement nor using the assets of any such Plan or arrangement to effect such transfer (a “Plan Investor”), or (B) the

proposed transfer and holding of such a Certificate and the servicing, management and operation of the Trust: (I) will not result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code which is not covered under an individual or class prohibited transaction exemption including but not limited to Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14 (Class Exemption for Plan Asset Transactions Determined by Independent Qualified Professional Asset Managers); PTCE 91-38 (Class Exemption for Certain Transactions Involving Bank Collective Investment Funds); PTCE 90-1 (Class Exemption for Certain Transactions Involving Insurance Company Pooled Separate Accounts), PTCE 95-60 (Class Exemption for Certain Transactions Involving Insurance Company General Accounts), and PTCE 96-23 (Class Exemption for Plan Asset Transactions Determined by In-House Asset Managers) and (II) will not subject the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer or the Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement or (ii) in the case of any such ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of a Plan or a Plan Investor, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of either the Trustee or the Trust, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Certificate will not result in the assets of the Trust being deemed to be “Plan assets” and subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code, will not result in such a prohibited transaction, and will not subject the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer or the Depositor to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such representations shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the transferee's acceptance of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate (or the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the beneficial interest in any such Class of Certificates) unless the Trustee shall have received from the transferee an alternative representation acceptable in form and substance to the Depositor. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of a ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan or Plan Investor in violation of this paragraph shall be void and of no effect.

Any transferee of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate which is a Book-Entry Certificate will be deemed to have represented by virtue of its purchase or holding of such Certificate (or interest therein) that either (a) such transferee is not a Plan Investor or (b) such transferee meets the requirements in (i)(B) of the immediately preceding paragraph.

Each beneficial owner of a Class M Certificate or any interest therein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of that certificate or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan or a Plan Investor or investing with Plan assets, (ii) it has acquired and is holding such certificate in reliance on the Prohibited Transaction Exemption 90-29 issued by the Department of Labor, as amended (“Exemption”), and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption, including that the certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-“ (or its equivalent) by Fitch, Xxxxx'x or S&P, or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general account,” as such term is defined in PTCE 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.

If any Book-Entry Certificate (or any interest therein) is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of Section 5.02(d) above, then the last preceding transferee that is in compliance with such provisions shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations

as Certificate Owner thereof retroactive to the date of such Transfer of such Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for making any payments due on such Certificate to such preceding transferee.

Any purported Certificate Owner whose acquisition or holding of any Book-Entry Certificate (or interest therein) was effected in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02(d) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Trust Fund from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.

Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

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

(ii) No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata undivided interest.

(iii) In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Trustee shall as a condition to registration of the transfer, require delivery to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of each of the following:

(A) an affidavit in the form of Exhibit E-1 hereto from the proposed transferee to the effect that such transferee is a Permitted Transferee and that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate that is the subject of the proposed transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, and an affidavit in the form of Exhibit E-2 hereto from the proposed transferor, representing and warranting, among other things, that no proposed transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax;

(B) a covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect that the proposed transferee agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer restrictions applicable to the Class R Certificates.

(C) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall, in violation of the provisions of this Section, become a Holder of a Class R Certificate, then the prior Holder of such Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the registration of transfer of such Class R Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section, be restored

to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Class R Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section or for making any distributions due on such Class R Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Trustee received the documents specified in this clause (iii). The Trustee shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Class R Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such distributions were made all distributions made on such Class R Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the Trustee shall be distributed and delivered by the Trustee to the prior Holder of such Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.

(iv) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Trustee shall have the right but not the obligation, without notice to the Holder of such Class R Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership Interest therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of such Class R Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Depositor or its affiliates in connection with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Trustee to the previous Holder of such Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee, except that in the event that the Trustee determines that the Holder of such Class R Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this Section or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee may withhold a corresponding amount from such remittance as security for such claim. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (iv) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee and it shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

(v) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Securities Administrator upon receipt of reasonable compensation will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code on transfers of residual interests to disqualified organizations.

The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to transfers occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been delivered to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, (i) written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its rating of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.

(e) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates of any Class, but the Certificate Registrar 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 registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled by the Certificate Registrar and disposed of pursuant to its standard procedures.

Section 5.03

Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee, the Depositor 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 notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) in connection therewith. Any duplicate 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 lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 5.04

Persons Deemed Owners.

Each Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of each Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent or the Trustee may treat the Person, including a Depository, in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Trust, the Trustee nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

To the extent the Trustee, Certificate Registrar or any Paying Agent is required pursuant to this Agreement to determine the identity of the beneficial owner of a Book-Entry Certificate, any costs assessed by the Depository in making such determination shall be an expense of the party making such request, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trust Fund. Section 5.05 Appointment of Paying Agent.

The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.01 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Trustee. The duties of the Paying Agent may include the obligation (i) to withdraw funds from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.11 and for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above and (ii) to distribute statements and provide information to Certificateholders as required hereunder. The Paying Agent hereunder shall at all times be an entity duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Trustee. The Trustee may appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent, which appointment shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Rating Agencies.

The Trustee shall cause the 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 shall hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders and shall agree that it shall comply with all requirements of the Code regarding the withholding of payments in respect of federal income taxes due from Certificate Owners and otherwise comply with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to it.

Section 6.01 Distributions on the Certificates. (a) Interest and principal on the Certificates will be distributed by the Trustee monthly on each Distribution Date, commencing in June 2005, as instructed by the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, in an aggregate amount equal to the sum of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date.

third, sequentially, to the Class II-A-1 Certificates and Class II-A-2 Certificates, in that order, in reduction of the Class Certificate Balances thereof, the Group II Senior Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date to the extent of remaining Group II Available Funds, in each case until the Class Certificate Balance of such Class has been reduced to zero.

(C) On each Distribution Date, the Group III Available Funds will be distributed in the following order of priority among the Group III Senior Certificates except as otherwise noted:

first, to the Class III-A Certificates, the Accrued Certificate Interest on the Class III-A Certificates for such Distribution Date.

Any interest shortfalls shall be allocated to the Class III-A Certificates as described below;

second, to the Class III-A Certificates, any Accrued Certificate Interest thereon remaining undistributed from previous Distribution Dates, to the extent of remaining Group III Available Funds, any shortfall in available amounts being allocated to the Class III-A Certificates in proportion to the amount of such Accrued Certificate Interest remaining undistributed for the Class III-A Certificates for such Distribution Date; and

third, to the Class III-A Certificates, in reduction of the Class Certificate Balance thereof, the Group III Senior Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date to the extent of remaining Group III Available Funds, until the Class Certificate Balance of such Class has been reduced to zero.

(D) On each Distribution Date, the Group IV Available Funds will be distributed in the following order of priority among the Group IV Senior Certificates except as otherwise noted:

first, to the Class IV-A Certificates, the Accrued Certificate Interest on the Class IV-A Certificates for such Distribution Date. As described below, Accrued Certificate Interest on the Class IV-A Certificates is subject to reduction in the event of certain interest shortfalls allocable thereto. Any interest shortfalls shall be allocated to the Class IV-A Certificates as described below;

second, to the Class IV-A Certificates, any Accrued Certificate Interest thereon remaining undistributed from previous Distribution Dates, to the extent of remaining Group IV Available Funds, any shortfall in available amounts being allocated to the Class IV-A Certificates in proportion to the amount of such Accrued Certificate Interest remaining undistributed for the Class IV-A Certificates for such Distribution Date; and

third, to the Class IV-A Certificates, in reduction of the Class Certificate Balance thereof, the Group IV Senior Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date to the extent of remaining Group IV Available Funds, until the Class Certificate Balance of such Class has been reduced to zero.

(E) On each Distribution Date on or prior to the Distribution Date on which the Class Certificate Balances of the Subordinate Certificates are reduced to zero (the “Credit Support Depletion Date”), an amount equal to the sum of the remaining Group I, Group II, Group III and Group IV Available Funds after the distributions in clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) above and after any distributions required to be made pursuant to clauses (F) and (G) below, will be distributed sequentially, in the following order, to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates, in each case up to an amount equal to and in the following order: (a) the Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for such Distribution Date, (b) any Accrued Certificate Interest thereon remaining undistributed from previous Distribution Dates and (c) such Class's Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, in each case to the extent of the remaining Available Funds.

(F) On each Distribution Date prior to the Credit Support Depletion Date but after the reduction of the aggregate Class Certificate Balance of the related Senior Certificates of a related Loan Group to zero, the remaining Class or Classes of related Senior Certificates will be entitled to receive in reduction of their Class Certificate Balances, pro rata based upon their Class Certificate Balances immediately prior to such Distribution Date, in addition to any principal prepayments related to such remaining Senior Certificates' respective Loan Group allocated to such Senior Certificates, 100% of the Principal Prepayments on any Mortgage Loan in the Loan Group relating to the fully repaid Class or Classes of Senior Certificates; provided, however, that if both (a) the weighted average Subordinate Percentage equals or exceeds approximately 10.00% on or after the Distribution Date in June 2008 and (b) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans delinquent 60 days or more, averaged over the last six months, as a percentage of the aggregate Class Certificate Balance of the Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates, does not exceed 100%, then the additional allocation of principal prepayments to the Senior Certificates in accordance with this clause (F) will not be made.

(G) If on any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Class Certificate Balance of any Class or Classes of Senior Certificates would be greater than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in its related Loan

Group (the amount of such excess, the “Undercollateralized Amount,” and any such Class or Classes of Senior Certificates, the “Undercollateralized Senior Certificates”) and any Subordinate Certificates are still outstanding in each case after giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, (i) 100% of amounts otherwise allocable to the Subordinate Certificates in respect of principal will be distributed to the Undercollateralized Senior Certificates in reduction of the Class Certificate Balances thereof, until the aggregate Class Certificate Balance of such Class or Classes of Undercollateralized Senior Certificates is equal to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in its related Loan Group, and (ii) the Accrued Certificate Interest otherwise allocable to the Subordinate Certificates on such Distribution Date will be reduced, if necessary, and distributed to such Class or Classes of Undercollateralized Senior Certificates pursuant to clause first of clauses (A), (B), (C) or (D) above, as applicable, in an amount equal to the Accrued Certificate Interest at the Pass-Through Rate for such Class or Classes of Undercollateralized Senior Certificates for such Distribution Date on a balance equal to the related Undercollateralized Amount. Any such reduction in the Accrued Certificate Interest on the Subordinate Certificates will be allocated to the Class B-3, Class B-2, Class B-1, Class M-3, Class M-2 and Class M-1 Certificates, in that order.

On each Distribution Date, any Available Funds remaining after payment of interest and principal to the Classes of Certificates entitled thereto, as described above, will be distributed to the Class R-II Certificates; provided that if on any Distribution Date on and after the Credit Support Depletion Date there are any Group I or Group II Available Funds remaining after payment of interest and principal to a Class or Classes of Senior Certificates entitled thereto, such amounts will be distributed to the other Classes of Senior Certificates, pro rata, based upon their Class Certificate Balances, until all amounts due to all Classes of Senior Certificates have been paid in full, before any amounts are distributed to the Class R-II Certificates. It is not anticipated that there will be any significant amounts remaining for such distribution.

In addition to the foregoing distributions, with respect to any Subsequent Recoveries, the Master Servicer shall deposit such amounts into the Protected Account pursuant to Section 4.01(a). If, after taking into account such Subsequent Recoveries, the amount of a Realized Loss is reduced, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase the Class Certificate Balance of the Class of Subordinate Certificates with the highest payment priority to which Realized Losses have been allocated, including any class of certificates to which a realized loss was previously allocated and whose Class Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero, but not by more than the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 6.02(a). The amount of any remaining Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase the Class Certificate Balance of the Class of Certificates with the next highest payment priority, up to the amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 6.02(a), and so on. Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any payment in respect of Current Interest on the amount of such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the Class Certificate Balance of each Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective Percentage Interest.

Section 6.02 Allocation of Losses. (a) On or prior to each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the amount of any Realized Loss in respect of each Mortgage Loan that occurred during the immediately preceding calendar month.

(b) With respect to any Certificates on any Distribution Date, the principal portion of each Realized Loss on a Mortgage Loan shall be allocated as follows:

first, to the Class B-3 Certificates until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

second, to the Class B-2 Certificates until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

third, to the Class B-1 Certificates until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

fourth, to the Class M-3 Certificates until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

fifth, to the Class M-2 Certificates until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

sixth, to the Class M-1 Certificates until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

seventh, if the Realized Loss occurs on a Mortgage Loan in a Loan Group where the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Loan Group is greater than the aggregate Class Certificate Balance of the related Senior Certificates, the Realized Loss will be allocated to any Senior Certificates related to a Loan Group where the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Loan Group is less than the aggregate Class Certificate Balance of the related Senior Certificates (any such amount, the “Deficiency Amount”), pro rata, based on the respective Deficiency Amount, in each case until the amount by which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the Loan Group in which the Realized Loss occurs exceeds the aggregate Class Certificate Balance of the related Senior Certificates until the Class Certificate Balances of such Senior Certificates have been reduced to zero; and

eighth, to the Senior Certificates related to the Loan Group in which the Realized Loss occurred, until the Class Certificate Balances thereof have been reduced to zero.

(c) Any allocation of a Realized Loss (other than a Debt Service Reduction) to a Certificate will be made by reducing the Class Certificate Balance thereof, in the case of the principal portion of such Realized Loss, in each case until the Class Certificate Balance of such Class has been reduced to zero, and the Accrued Certificate Interest thereon, in the case of the interest portion of such Realized Loss, by the amount so allocated as of the Distribution Date occurring in the month following the calendar month in which such Realized Loss was incurred. In addition, any such allocation of a Realized Loss to a Class M Certificate or Class B Certificate may also be made by operation of the payment priority to the Senior Certificates set forth under

“—Principal Distributions on the Senior Certificates” and any Class of Class M Certificates or Class B Certificates with a higher payment priority. As used herein, “Debt Service Reduction” means a reduction in the amount of the monthly payment due to certain bankruptcy proceedings, but does not include any permanent forgiveness of principal. As used herein, “Subordination” refers to the provisions discussed above for the sequential allocation of Realized Losses among the various Classes, as well as all provisions effecting such allocations including the priorities for distribution of cash flows in the amounts described herein.

(d) Allocations of the principal portion of Debt Service Reductions to the Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates will result from the priority of distributions of the Available Funds as described herein, which distributions shall be made first to the Senior Certificates, second to the Class M Certificates in the order of their payment priority and third to the Class B Certificates in the order of their payment priority. An allocation of the interest portion of a Realized Loss as well as the principal portion of Debt Service Reductions will not reduce the level of Subordination, as such term is defined herein, until an amount in respect thereof has been actually disbursed to the Senior Certificateholders, the Class M Certificateholders or the Class B Certificateholders, as applicable. The holders of the Offered Certificates will not be entitled to any additional payments with respect to Realized Losses from amounts otherwise distributable on any Classes of Certificates subordinate thereto. Accordingly, the Subordination provided to the Senior Certificates and to each Class of Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates by the respective Classes of Certificates subordinate thereto with respect to Realized Losses allocated on any Distribution Date will be effected primarily by increasing the Senior Percentage, or the respective Class M Percentage, of future distributions of principal of the remaining Mortgage Loans. Thus, the Senior Certificates will bear the entire amount of losses that are not allocated to the Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates, which losses will be allocated among all Classes of Senior Certificates as described herein.

(e) Any Excess Losses or other losses on the Mortgage Loans of a type not covered by Subordination will be allocated on a pro rata basis among the Certificates (any such Realized Losses so allocated to the Certificates will be allocated without priority among the various Classes of Certificates). An allocation of a Realized Loss on a “pro rata basis” among two or more Classes of Certificates means an allocation to each such Class of Certificates on the basis of its then outstanding Class Certificate Balance prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date in the case of an allocation of the principal portion of a Realized Loss, or based on the Accrued Certificate Interest thereon in respect of such Distribution Date in the case of an allocation of the interest portion of a Realized Loss.

Section 6.03 Payments. (a) On each Distribution Date, other than the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to each Certificateholder of record on the directly preceding Record Date the Certificateholder’s pro rata share of its Class (based on the aggregate Percentage Interest represented by such Holder's Certificates) of all amounts required to be distributed on such Distribution Date to such Class, based solely on information provided to the Trustee by the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator. The Securities Administrator shall calculate the amount to be distributed to each Class and, based on such amounts, the Securities Administrator shall determine the amount to be distributed to each Certificateholder. All of the Securities Administrator's calculations of payments shall be based solely on information provided to the Securities Administrator by the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer. The Securities

Administrator shall not be required to confirm, verify or recompute any such information but shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such information.

(b) Payment of the above amounts to each Certificateholder shall be made (i) by check mailed to each Certificateholder entitled thereto at the address appearing in the Certificate Register or (ii) upon receipt by the Trustee on or before the fifth Business Day preceding the Record Date of written instructions from a Certificateholder by wire transfer to a United States dollar account maintained by the payee at any United States depository institution with appropriate facilities for receiving such a wire transfer; provided, however, that the final payment in respect of each Class of Certificates will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such respective Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final payment.

Section 6.04 Statements to Certificateholders. (a) Concurrently with each distribution to Certificateholders, the Securities Administrator shall make available to the parties hereto and each Certificateholder via the Securities Administrator's internet website as set forth below, the following information:

(xviii) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of Group I, Group II, Group III and Group IV Mortgage Loans purchased by the Seller during the related Due Period and indicating the Section of this Agreement requiring or allowing the purchase of each such Group I, Group II, Group III and Group IV Mortgage Loan.

The information set forth above shall be calculated or reported, as the case may be, by the Securities Administrator, based solely on, and to the extent of, information provided to the Securities Administrator by the Master Servicer. The Securities Administrator may conclusively rely on such information and shall not be required to confirm, verify or recalculate any such information.

The Securities Administrator may make available each month, to any interested party , the monthly statement to Certificateholders via the Securities Administrator's website initially located at “xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx.” Assistance in using the website can be obtained by calling the

Securities Administrator's customer service desk at (000) 000-0000. Parties that are unable to use the above distribution option are entitled to have a paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the customer service desk and indicating such. The Securities Administrator shall have the right to change the way such reports are distributed in order to make such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the parties, and the Securities Administrator shall provide timely and adequate notification to all parties regarding any such change.

(b) By January 30 of each year beginning in 2006, the Trustee will furnish such report to each Holder of the Certificates of record at any time during the prior calendar year as to the aggregate of amounts reported pursuant to subclauses (a)(ii) and (a)(v) above with respect to the Certificates, plus information with respect to the amount of servicing compensation and such other customary information as the Securities Administrator may determine and advises the Trustee to be necessary and/or to be required by the Internal Revenue Service or by a federal or state law or rules or regulations to enable such Holders to prepare their tax returns for such calendar year. Such obligations shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Securities Administrator or the Trustee pursuant to the requirements of the Code.

Section 6.05 Monthly Advances. If the Monthly Payment on a Mortgage Loan that was due on a related Due Date and is delinquent other than as a result of application of the Relief Act and for which the related Servicer was required to make an advance pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement exceeds the amount deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account which will be used for a Monthly Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account not later than the Distribution Account Deposit Date immediately preceding the related Distribution Date an amount equal to such deficiency, net of the Servicing Fee for such Mortgage Loan, except to the extent the Master Servicer determines any such Monthly Advance to be nonrecoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or future payments on the Mortgage Loan for which such Monthly Advance was made. If the Master Servicer has not deposited the amount described above as of the related Distribution Account Deposit Date, the Trustee will deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account not later than the related Distribution Date, an amount equal to the remaining deficiency as of the Distribution Account Deposit Date. Subject to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall continue to make such Monthly Advances through the date that the related Servicer is required to do so under its Servicing Agreement. If applicable, on the Distribution Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall present an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee (i) stating that the Master Servicer elects not to make a Monthly Advance in a stated amount and (ii) detailing the reason it deems the advance to be nonrecoverable.

Section 6.06 Compensating Interest Payments. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account not later than each Distribution Account Deposit Date an amount equal to the aggregate amounts required to be paid by the Servicers under the Servicing Agreements with respect to subclauses (a) and (b), as applicable, of the definition of Prepayment Interest Shortfall with respect to the Mortgage Loans for the related Distribution Date, and not so paid by the related Servicers (such amount, the “Compensating Interest Payment”). The Master Servicer shall not be entitled to any reimbursement of any Compensating Interest Payment.

Section 6.07			Distributions on the Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests.
	(a)	Distributions on the REMIC I Regular Interests.

(i) On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall be deemed to distribute to itself, as the holder of the REMIC I Regular Interests, Uncertificated REMIC Accrued Interest on the REMIC I Regular Interests for such Distribution Date, plus any Uncertificated REMIC Accrued Interest thereon remaining unpaid from any previous Distribution Date.

(ii) On each Distribution Date, distributions of principal shall be deemed to be made from amounts received on the Mortgage Loans to REMIC I Regular Interests I-SUB, I-GRP, II-SUB, II-GRP, III-SUB, III-GRP, IV-SUB, IV-GRP and ZZZ first, so as to keep the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC I Regular Interest ending with the designation “GRP” equal to 0.01% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Group; second, to each REMIC I Regular Interest ending with the designation “SUB,” so that the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest is equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Group over (y) the Class Certificate Balance of the Senior Certificates in the related Group (except that if any such

excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount of principal shall be distributed to such REMIC I Regular Interests such that the REMIC I Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and third, any remaining principal to REMIC I Regular Interest ZZZ. Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be applied after all distributions have been made on each Distribution Date first, so as to keep the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC I Regular Interest ending with the designation “GRP” equal to 0.01% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Group; second, to each REMIC I Regular Interest ending with the designation “SUB,” so that the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest is equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Group over (y) the Class Certificate Balance of the Senior Certificates in the related Group (except that if any such excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount of Realized Losses shall be applied to such REMIC I Regular Interests such that the REMIC I Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and third, any remaining Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest ZZZ.

(iii) Notwithstanding the deemed distributions on the REMIC I Regular Interests described in this Section 6.07(a), distributions of funds from the Distribution Account shall be made only in accordance with Section 6.01.

(b)	Distributions on the REMIC II Regular Interests.

(i) On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall be deemed to distribute to itself, as the holder of the REMIC II Regular Interests, Uncertificated REMIC Accrued Interest on the REMIC II Regular Interests for such Distribution Date, plus any Uncertificated REMIC Accrued Interest thereon remaining unpaid from any previous Distribution Date.

(ii) On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall be deemed to distribute to itself, as the holder of the REMIC II Regular Interests, an amount equal to the sum of the amounts in respect of principal distributable on the Class I-A, Class II-A-1, Class II-A-2, Class III-A, Class IV-A, Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates under Section 6.01 with such amount deemed distributed to each REMIC II Regular Interest in the same amount and priority as allocated to the Corresponding Class.

(iii) In determining from time to time the Uncertificated REMIC II Regular Interest Distribution Amounts, Realized Losses allocated to the Class I-A, Class II-A-1, Class II-A-2, Class III-A, Class IV-A, Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates under Section 6.02 shall be deemed distributed to each REMIC II Regular Interest in the same amount and priority as allocated to the Corresponding Class.

(iv) Notwithstanding the deemed distributions on the REMIC II Regular Interests described in this Section 6.07(b), distributions of funds from the Distribution Account shall be made only in accordance with Section 6.01.

This indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator and the termination of this Agreement.

(b) The Depositor will indemnify any Indemnified Person for any loss, liability or expense of any Indemnified Person not otherwise referred to in Subsection (a) above.

(b) The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.

(d) The Master Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties under this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, the Master Servicer may in its discretion, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Master Servicer Collection Account as provided by Section 4.03. Nothing in this Subsection 7.04(d) shall affect the Master Servicer's obligation to supervise, or to take such actions as are necessary to ensure, the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Subsection 3.01(a).

(e) In taking or recommending any course of action pursuant to this Agreement, unless specifically required to do so pursuant to this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be required to investigate or make recommendations concerning potential liabilities which the Trust

(f) The Master Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of any Servicer, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

Section 7.05 Master Servicer Not to Resign. Except as provided in Section 7.07, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon a determination that any such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such impermissibility cannot be cured. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Independent Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation by the Master Servicer shall become effective until MLMLI or the Trustee or a successor to the Master Servicer reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 8.02 hereof. The Trustee shall notify the Rating Agencies of the resignation of the Master Servicer.

Section 7.06 Successor Master Servicer. In connection with the appointment of any successor Master Servicer or the assumption of the duties of the Master Servicer, MLMLI or the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor master servicer out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as MLMLI or the Trustee and such successor master servicer shall agree.

ARTICLE VIII

DEFAULT

Section 8.01 Events of Default. “Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) and only with respect to the defaulting Master Servicer:

(i) The Master Servicer fails to cause to be deposited in the Distribution Account any amount so required to be deposited pursuant to this Agreement, and such failure continues unremedied for a period of three Business Days after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer; or

(ii) The Master Servicer fails to observe or perform in any material respect any other material covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement to be performed by it, which covenants and agreements materially affect the rights of Certificateholders, and such failure continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, properly requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Trust Fund; or

(iii) There is entered against the Master Servicer a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order is unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days, or an involuntary case is commenced against the Master Servicer under any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute and the petition is not dismissed within 60 days after the commencement of the case; or

(iv) The Master Servicer consents to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or substantially all of its property; or the Master Servicer admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, files a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspends payment of its obligations; or

(v) The Master Servicer assigns or delegates its duties or rights under this Agreement in contravention of the provisions permitting such assignment or delegation under Sections 7.05 or 7.07.

In each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default with respect to the Master Servicer shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee or the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the principal of the Trust Fund, by notice

in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by such Certificateholders), with a copy to the Rating Agencies, and with the consent of MLMLI, may terminate all of the rights and obligations (but not the liabilities) of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and/or the REO Property serviced by the Master Servicer and the proceeds thereof. Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of the written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans, REO Property or under any other related agreements (but only to the extent that such other agreements relate to the Mortgage Loans or related REO Property) shall, subject to Section 8.02, automatically and without further action pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to this Section 8.01; and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's rights and obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee of (i) the property and amounts which are then or should be part of the Trust or which thereafter become part of the Trust; and (ii) originals or copies of all documents of the Master Servicer reasonably requested by the Trustee to enable it to assume the Master Servicer's duties thereunder. In addition to any other amounts which are then, or, notwithstanding the termination of its activities under this Agreement, may become payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any amount received on account of a Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, that portion of such payments which it would have received as reimbursement under this Agreement if notice of termination had not been given. The termination of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer shall not affect any obligations incurred by the Master Servicer prior to such termination.

Section 8.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. (a) Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.01 or an Opinion of Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 7.05 to the effect that the Master Servicer is legally unable to act or to delegate its duties to a Person which is legally able to act, the Trustee shall automatically become the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall thereafter be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that MLMLI shall have the right to either (a) immediately assume the duties of the Master Servicer or (b) select a successor Master Servicer; provided further, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever with respect to any liability (other than advances deemed recoverable and not previously made) incurred by the Master Servicer at or prior to the time of termination. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, except for those amounts due the Master Servicer as reimbursement permitted under this Agreement for advances previously made or expenses previously incurred. Notwithstanding the above, or anything herein to the contrary, the Trustee, if it becomes Master Servicer, shall have no responsibility or obligation (i) to repurchase or substitute any Mortgage Loan, (ii) for any representation or warranty of the Master Servicer hereunder, and (iii) for any act or omission of either a predecessor or successor Master Servicer other than the Trustee. The Trustee may

conduct any activity required of it as Master Servicer hereunder through an Affiliate or through an agent. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor Master Servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder due to any act or omission of a predecessor Master Servicer, including but not limited to failure to timely deliver to the Trustee distribution instructions, any funds required to be deposited to the Trust Fund, or any breach of its duty to cooperate with a transfer of master servicing. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution which is a Xxxxxx Mae- or Xxxxxxx Mac-approved servicer, and with respect to a successor to the Master Servicer only, having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000, as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, that the Trustee shall obtain a letter from each Rating Agency that the ratings, if any, on each of the Certificates will not be lowered as a result of the selection of the successor to the Master Servicer. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, in the event that the provisions of Section 7.06 shall apply, no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Trustee under this Subsection 8.02(a), and that such successor shall undertake and assume the obligations of the Trustee to pay compensation to any third Person acting as an agent or independent contractor in the performance of master servicing responsibilities hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

(b) If the Trustee shall succeed to any duties of the Master Servicer respecting the Mortgage Loans as provided herein, it shall do so in a separate capacity and not in its capacity as Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article IX shall be inapplicable to the Trustee in its duties as the successor to the Master Servicer in the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (although such provisions shall continue to apply to the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee); the provisions of Article VII, however, shall apply to it in its capacity as successor master servicer.

Section 8.03 Notification to Certificateholders. Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the Rating Agencies.

Section 8.04 Waiver of Defaults. The Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders, within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured, notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee. The Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Trust Fund may, on behalf of all Certificateholders, waive any default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consequences thereof, except a default in the making of or the causing to be made any required distribution on the Certificates. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall be deemed to cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been timely remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. The Trustee shall give notice of any such waiver to the Rating Agencies.

Section 8.05 List of Certificateholders. Upon written request of three or more Certificateholders of record, for purposes of communicating with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement, the Trustee will afford such Certificateholders access during business hours to the most recent list of Certificateholders held by the Trustee.

ARTICLE IX

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR

Section 9.01 Duties of Trustee. (a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, and the Securities Administrator each undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement as duties of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, respectively. If an Event of Default has occurred and has not been cured or waived, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and subject to Section 8.02(b) use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

(b) Upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments which are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, respectively, shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Master Servicer; provided, further, that neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or verification of any calculation provided to it pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make monthly distributions and the final distribution to the Certificateholders from funds in the Distribution Account as provided in Sections 6.01 and 10.01 herein based solely on the report of the Securities Administrator.

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

(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable except for the performance of their respective duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, 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 or the Securities Administrator, respectively, and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;

(ii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable in its individual capacity for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee or an officer of the Securities Administrator,

respectively, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the directions of the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Trust Fund, if such action or non-action relates to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, or exercising any trust or other power conferred upon the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, under this Agreement;

(iv) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee's Corporate Trust Office shall have actual knowledge thereof. In the absence of such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume there is no such default or Event of Default;

(v) The Trustee shall not in any way be liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Account held by or in the name of Trustee unless it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee's gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of such insufficiency (except to the extent that the Trustee is obligor and has defaulted thereon);

(vi) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee or the Securities Administrator 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 or the Securities Administrator, respectively, has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; and

(vii) None of the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, any Servicer or the Trustee shall be responsible for the acts or omissions of the other, it being understood that this Agreement shall not be construed to render them partners, joint venturers or agents of one another.

Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder or under the Servicing Agreements, except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) All funds received by the Master Servicer and the Trustee and required to be deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account or Distribution Account pursuant to this Agreement will be promptly so deposited by the Master Servicer and the Trustee.

(f) Except for those actions that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator is required to take hereunder, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any obligation or liability to take any action or to refrain from taking any action hereunder in the absence of written direction as provided hereunder.

Section 9.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the Securities Administrator. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01:

(i) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting in reliance on any resolution, certificate of a Depositor, Master Servicer or Servicer, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement, other than its obligation to give notices pursuant to this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of this 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. Nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee's Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge (which has not been cured or waived), subject to Section 8.02(b), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;

(iv) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable in its individual capacity for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

(v) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by Holders of Certificates

evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Trust Fund and provided that the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement. The Trustee or the Securities Administrator may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to taking any such action. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Certificateholders requesting the investigation;

(vi) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or through Affiliates, agents or attorneys; provided, however, that the Trustee may not appoint any agent to perform its custodial functions with respect to the Mortgage Files or paying agent functions under this Agreement without the express written consent of the Master Servicer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable or responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any of the Trustee's or the Securities Administrator's agents or attorneys or a custodian or paying agent appointed hereunder by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator with due care and, when required, with the consent of the Master Servicer;

(vii) Should the Trustee or the Securities Administrator deem the nature of any action required on its part, other than a payment or transfer under Subsection 4.01(b) or Section 4.02, to be unclear, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, may require prior to such action that it be provided by the Depositor with reasonable further instructions;

(viii) The right of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be accountable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of any such act;

(ix) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be required to give any bond or surety with respect to the execution of the trust created hereby or the powers granted hereunder, except as provided in Subsection 9.07; and

(x) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as applicable, or the eligibility of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 9.03 Trustee and Securities Administrator Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans. The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the signature and countersignature of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any responsibility for their correctness. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator makes any

representation as to the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates (other than the signature and countersignature of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan except as expressly provided in Sections 2.02 and 2.05 hereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee or the Custodian of the obligation to review the Mortgage Files pursuant to Sections 2.02 and 2.04. The Trustee's signature and countersignature (or countersignature of its agent) on the Certificates shall be solely in its capacity as Trustee of the Trust Fund and shall not constitute the Certificates an obligation of the Trustee in any other capacity. Neither the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall not be responsible for the legality or validity of this Agreement or any document or instrument relating to this Agreement, the validity of the execution of this Agreement or of any supplement hereto or instrument of further assurance, or the validity, priority, perfection or sufficiency of the security for the Certificates issued hereunder or intended to be issued hereunder. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall at any time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust Fund or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders, under this Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to record this Agreement other than any continuation statements filed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.20.

Section 9.04 Trustee and Securities Administrator May Own Certificates. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator in its individual capacity or in any capacity other than as Trustee hereunder may become the owner or pledgee of any Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, and may otherwise deal with the parties hereto.

Section 9.05 Trustee's and Securities Administrator's Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall be paid by the Master Servicer in accordance with a side letter agreement. In addition, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator will be entitled to recover from the Master Servicer Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.03(b) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances and the expenses of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, respectively, in connection with any Event of Default, any breach of this Agreement or any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) incurred or made by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, in the administration of the trusts hereunder (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its counsel) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or intentional misconduct or which is the responsibility of the Certificateholders or the Trust Fund hereunder. If funds in the Master Servicer Collection Account are insufficient therefor, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall recover such expenses from the Depositor. Such compensation and reimbursement obligation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust.

(a) Any successor Trustee or Securities Administrator appointed as provided in Section 9.08 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder.

The predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall after payment of its outstanding fees and

expenses promptly deliver to the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, all assets and records of the Trust held by it hereunder, and the Depositor and the predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, 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 or Securities Administrator, as applicable, all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

(b) No successor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 9.09 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06.

(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator as provided in this Section 9.09, the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall mail notice of the succession of such Trustee or Securities Administrator hereunder to all Certificateholders at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and to the Rating Agencies.

Such succession shall be valid without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 9.11 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust or property constituting the same may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee and the Depositor to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.11, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Depositor and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable.

(b) If the Depositor shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a written request so to do, the Trustee shall have the power to make such appointment without the Depositor.

(c) No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 9.06 hereunder and no notice to

Certificateholders of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 9.08 hereof.

(d) In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 9.11, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee and required to be conferred on such co-trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.

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

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

(g) No trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of another trustee under this Agreement. The Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

Section 9.12 Federal Information Returns and Reports to Certificateholders; REMIC Administration. (a) For federal income tax purposes, the taxable year of each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III shall be a calendar year and the Securities Administrator shall maintain or cause the maintenance of the books of each such REMIC on the accrual method of accounting.

(b) The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service, and the Trustee shall sign, federal tax information returns or elections required to be made hereunder with respect to each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III, the Trust Fund, if applicable, and the Certificates containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or applicable Treasury regulations, and shall furnish to each Holder of Certificates at any time during the calendar year for which such returns or reports are made such statements or information at the times and in the manner as may be required thereby, including, without limitation, reports relating to interest, original issue discount

and market discount or premium (using a constant prepayment assumption of 25% CPR for the Mortgage Loans). The Securities Administrator will apply for an Employee Identification Number from the IRS under Form SS-4 or any other acceptable method for all tax entities. In connection with the foregoing, the Securities Administrator shall timely prepare and file, and the Trustee shall sign, IRS Form 8811, which shall provide the name and address of the person who can be contacted to obtain information required to be reported to the holders of regular interests in each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III (the “REMIC Reporting Agent”). The Trustee shall make elections to treat each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III as a REMIC (which elections shall apply to the taxable period ending December 31, 2005 and each calendar year thereafter) in such manner as the Code or applicable Treasury regulations may prescribe, and as described by the Securities Administrator. The Trustee shall sign all tax information returns filed pursuant to this Section and any other returns as may be required by the Code. The Holder of the Class R-I Certificate is hereby designated as the “Tax Matters Person” (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §§1.860F-4(d)) for REMIC I, the Holder of the Class R-II Certificate is hereby designated as the “Tax Matters Person” for REMIC II and the Holder of the Class R-III Certificate is hereby designated as the “Tax Matters Person” for REMIC III.

Any Holder of a Residual Certificate will by acceptance thereof appoint the Securities Administrator as agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of acting as Tax Matters Person for each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III during such time as the Securities Administrator does not own any such Residual Certificate. In the event that the Code or applicable Treasury regulations prohibit the Trustee from signing tax or information returns or other statements, or the Securities Administrator from acting as agent for the Tax Matters Person, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall take whatever action that in its sole good faith judgment is necessary for the proper filing of such information returns or for the provision of a tax matters person, including designation of the Holder of a Residual Certificate to sign such returns or act as tax matters person. Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall be bound by this Section.

(c) The Securities Administrator shall provide upon request and receipt of reasonable compensation, such information as required in Section 860D(a)(6)(B) of the Code to the Internal Revenue Service, to any Person purporting to transfer a Residual Certificate to a Person other than a transferee permitted by Section 5.05(b), and to any regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate, organization described in Section 1381 of the Code, or nominee holding an interest in a pass-through entity described in Section 860E(e)(6) of the Code, any record holder of which is not a transferee permitted by Section 5.05(b) (or which is deemed by statute to be an entity with a disqualified member).

(d) The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file or cause to be filed, and the Trustee shall sign, any state income tax returns required under Applicable State Law with respect to each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III or the Trust Fund.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount on the Mortgage Loans, that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event the Trustee or the Securities Administrator withholds any amount from interest or original issue

discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall, together with its monthly report to such Certificateholders, indicate such amount withheld.

(f) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator agree to indemnify the Trust Fund and the Depositor for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as a result of a breach of the Trustee's covenants and the Securities Administrator's covenants, respectively, set forth in this Section 9.12; provided, however, such liability and obligation to indemnify in this paragraph shall not be joint and several and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable or be obligated to indemnify the Trust Fund for the failure by the other to perform any duty under this Agreement or the breach by the other of any covenant in this Agreement.

TERMINATION

Section 10.01

Termination.

(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and the obligation of the Master Servicer to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Class Certificate Balance of each Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, and (iii) the optional purchase by the Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans as described below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the Assumed Final Distribution Date and (ii) 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 Master Servicer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement on any date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is 10% or less of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, or by purchasing, on the next succeeding Distribution Date, all of the outstanding Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at a price equal to the sum of the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the weighted average of the Mortgage Interest Rates through the end of the Due Period preceding the final Distribution Date plus unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Monthly Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees allocable to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (the “Termination Price”).

In connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution Account all amounts then on deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account (less amounts permitted to be withdrawn by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.03), which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately preceding such purchase.

Any such purchase shall be accomplished by deposit into the Distribution Account on the Business Day before such Distribution Date of the Termination Price and the delivery of an opinion of counsel that such termination is a “qualified liquidation” under Section 860F of the Code.

(b) Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee upon the Trustee receiving notice of such date from the Master Servicer, by letter to the Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution specifying (1) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution of the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein designated, (2) the amount of any such final distribution and (3) that the Record Date otherwise

applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified.

(c) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of the Certificates on the Distribution Date for such final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage Interests of their respective Class and to the extent that funds are available for such purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to be distributed to such Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.01 for such Distribution Date.

(d) In the event that all Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for final payment and cancellation on or before such final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall promptly following such date cause all funds in the Distribution Account not distributed in final distribution to Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate servicing account for the benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer has exercised its right to purchase the Mortgage Loans) or the Trustee (in any other case) shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within nine months after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject hereto, and the Trustee upon transfer of such funds shall be discharged of any responsibility for such funds, and the Certificateholders shall look to the Class R Certificateholders for payment.

Section 10.02 Additional Termination Requirements. (a) In the event that the Master Servicer exercises its purchase option as provided in Section 10.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee shall have been furnished with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust to comply with the requirements of this Section will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of the Trust as defined in Section 860F of the Code or (ii) cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:

(i) Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall adopt and sign a plan of complete liquidation of the Trust Fund as provided to it by the Master Servicer, meeting the requirements of a “qualified liquidation” under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder; and

(ii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust to the Master Servicer for cash pursuant to the terms of the plan of complete liquidation.

(iii) at or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation of any of REMIC I and REMIC II, and at or prior to the final Distribution Date relating thereto, the Trustee shall sell for cash all of the assets of the Trust, to or at the direction of the Depositor, and REMIC I and REMIC II, shall terminate at such time.

(b) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby agree to appoint the Trustee as their attorney in fact to: (i) adopt such a plan of complete liquidation (and the Certificateholders hereby appoint the Trustee as their attorney in fact to sign such plan) as appropriate and (ii) to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably required to carry out such plan of complete liquidation all in accordance with the terms hereof.

For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 11.04, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Certificateholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Certificateholders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is expressly required, to the Depositor.

Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the individual executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

(c) The ownership of Certificates (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on such Certificates, except an endorsement in accordance with Section 5.02 made on a Regular Certificate presented in accordance with Section 5.04) shall be proved by the Certificate Register, and neither the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor any successor to any such parties shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action of the holder of any Regular Certificate shall bind every future holder of the same Regular Certificate and the holder of every Regular Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer or exchange thereof, if applicable, or in lieu thereof with respect to anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any successor to any such party in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificates.

(e) In determining whether the Holders of the requisite percentage of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Certificates owned by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be disregarded, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.02(b) and except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be

protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Certificates which the Trustee knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Certificates which have been pledged in good faith to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any Affiliate thereof may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgor establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgor's right to act with respect to such Certificates and that the pledgor is not an Affiliate of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, or the Master Servicer, as the case may be.

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN XXXXXXX XXXXX MORTGAGE INVESTORS, INC., THE MASTER SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate [Class Certificate Balance] of the Class [_-A-_][M-_] Certificates as of the Issue Date in that certain beneficial

ownership interest evidenced by all the Class [_-A-_][M-_] Certificates in the Trust Fund created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mortgage Investors, Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”), and Wachovia Bank, National Association (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue during the period specified in the Agreement on the [Class Certificate Balance] hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate set forth above and as further described in the Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class [_-A-_][M-_] Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by or on behalf of the Trustee by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class [_-A-_][M-_] Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon the presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

[As described above, each any transferee of a Class M Certificate or any interest therein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of that certificate or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan or a Plan Investor or investing with Plan assets, (ii) it has acquired and is holding such certificate in reliance on the Prohibited Transaction Exemption 90-29 issued by the Department of Labor, as amended (“Exemption”), and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption, including that the certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by Fitch, Moody’s or S&P, or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general account,” as such term is defined in PTCE 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.]

[If any Book-Entry Certificate (or any interest therein) is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement, then the last preceding Transferee that is in compliance with such provisions shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Certificate Owner thereof retroactive to the date of such Transfer of such Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for making any payments due on such Certificate to such preceding Transferee.]

[Any purported Certificate Owner whose acquisition or holding of any Book-Entry Certificate (or interest therein) was effected in violation of the restrictions in Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Trust Fund from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.]

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (hereinafter called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate [Class Certificate Balance] of the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.

The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Holders of the Certificates, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions and conditions provided therein, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Holders of the Certificates under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Trust Fund or of the applicable Class or Classes, if such amendment affects only such Class or Classes, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized

denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of New York.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Holders of the Certificates of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment (or any advance with respect thereto) on or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the optional purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans remaining therein. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining therein at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Loan Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly

executed.

No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any person using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Holders of the Certificates of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment (or any advance with respect thereto) on or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (iii) the optional purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans remaining therein. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining therein at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Loan Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

WITNESSETH THAT:

WHEREAS, the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee have entered into a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2005, relating to the issuance of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, MLMI Series 2005-A4 (as in effect on the date of this agreement, the “Original Pooling and Servicing Agreement,” and as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Custodian has agreed to act as agent for the Trustee for the purposes of receiving and holding certain documents and other instruments delivered by the Company or the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Servicers under their respective Servicing Agreements, all upon the terms and conditions and subject to the limitations hereinafter set forth;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the Trustee, the Company, the Master Servicer and the Custodian hereby agree as follows:

Article I.

DEFINITIONS

Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned in the Original Pooling and Servicing Agreement, unless otherwise required by the context herein.

Article II.

CUSTODY OF MORTGAGE DOCUMENTS

Section 1. Custodian to Act as Agent: Acceptance of Mortgage Files. The Custodian, as the duly appointed agent of the Trustee for these purposes, acknowledges (subject to any exceptions noted in the Initial Certification referred to in Section 2.3(a) receipt of the Mortgage Files relating to the Mortgage Loans identified on the schedule attached hereto (the “Mortgage Files”) and declares that it holds and will hold such Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, in trust, for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

Section 2. Recordation of Assignments. If any Mortgage File includes one or more assignments of Mortgage to the Trustee in a state which is specifically excluded from the Opinion of Counsel delivered by the Seller to the Trustee (with a copy to the Custodian) pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall deliver each such assignment to the Company for the purpose of recording it in the appropriate public office for real property records, and the Company, at no expense to the Custodian, shall promptly cause to be recorded in the appropriate public office for real property records each such assignment of Mortgage and, upon receipt thereof from such public office, shall return each such assignment of Mortgage to the Custodian.

Section 3.

Review of Mortgage Files.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Custodian agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders, to review, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each such document, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit One evidencing receipt (subject to any exceptions noted therein) of a Mortgage File for each of the Mortgage Loans listed on the Schedule attached hereto (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”) and certifying that all such documents have been executed and received and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except for any exceptions listed on Schedule A attached to such Initial Certification. The Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

(b) Not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian shall review the Mortgage Files as provided in Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and deliver to the Trustee a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Two evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files (subject to any exceptions noted therein).

(c) In reviewing the Mortgage Files as provided herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall make no representation as to and shall not be responsible to verify (i) the validity, legality, enforceability, due authorization, recordability, sufficiency or genuineness of any of the documents included in any Mortgage File or (ii) the collectibility, insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any of the documents in any Mortgage File.

Upon receipt of written request from the Trustee, the Custodian shall as soon as practicable supply the Trustee with a list of all of the documents relating to the Mortgage Loans then contained in the Mortgage Files.

Section 4. Notification of Breaches of Representations and Warranties. Upon discovery by the Custodian of a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to a Mortgage Loan relating to a Mortgage File, the Custodian shall give prompt written notice to the Company, the related Servicer and the Trustee.

Section 5. Custodian to Cooperate: Release of Mortgage Files. Upon receipt of written notice from the Master Servicer that the Mortgage Loan Seller has repurchased a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Article II of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and that the purchase price therefore has been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account or the Distribution Account, then the Custodian agrees to promptly release to the Mortgage Loan Seller the related Mortgage File.

Upon the Custodian’s receipt of a request for release (a “Request for Release”) substantially in the form of Exhibit D to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement signed by a Servicing Officer of the related Servicer stating that it has received payment in full of a Mortgage Loan or that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Custodian agrees promptly to release to the related Servicer the related Mortgage File. The Company shall deliver to the Custodian and the Custodian agrees to accept the Mortgage Note and other documents constituting the Mortgage File with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan.

From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any Primary Insurance Policy, the related Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer requesting that possession of all of the Mortgage File be released to the related Servicer and certifying as to the reason for such release and that such release will not invalidate any insurance coverage provided in respect of the Mortgage Loan under any of the Insurance Policies. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File to the related Servicer. The related Servicer shall cause each Mortgage File or any document therein so released to be returned to the Custodian when the need therefore by the related Servicer no longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account or the Distribution Account or (ii) the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the related Servicer has delivered to the Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.

At any time that a Servicer is required to deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release, the Servicer shall deliver two copies of the Request for Release if delivered in hard copy or the Servicer may furnish such Request for Release electronically to the Custodian, in which event the Servicing Officer transmitting the same shall be deemed to have signed the Request for Release. In connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage File because of a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan, the Serviced shall send to the Trustee an assignment of mortgage, without recourse, representation or warranty from the Trustee to the Mortgage Loan Seller and the related Mortgage Note which shall be endorsed without recourse, representation or warranty by the Trustee and the Trustee shall forward such documents to the Mortgage Loan Seller. In connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage File because of the payment in full of a Mortgage Loan, the Serviced shall send to the Trustee a certificate of satisfaction or

other similar instrument to be executed by or on behalf of the Trustee and returned to the related Servicer.

Section 6. Assumption Agreements. In the event that any assumption agreement or substitution of liability agreement is entered into with respect to any Mortgage Loan subject to this Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement, shall cause the related Servicer to notify the Custodian that such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian the original of such assumption or substitution agreement, which shall be added to the related Mortgage File and, for all purposes, shall be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting parts thereof.

Article III.

CONCERNING THE CUSTODIAN

Section 1. Custodian a Bailee and Agent of the Trustee. With respect to each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and other documents constituting each Mortgage File which are delivered to the Custodian, the Custodian is exclusively the bailee and agent of the Trustee and has no instructions to hold any Mortgage Note or Mortgage for the benefit of any person other than the Trustee and the Certificateholders and undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. Except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 2.5 of this Agreement, no Mortgage Note, Mortgage or Mortgage File shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Company, the Servicers or the Master Servicer or otherwise released from the possession of the Custodian.

Section 2.

Reserved.

Section 3. Custodian May Own Certificates. The Custodian in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not Custodian.

Section 4. Master Servicer to Pay Custodian’s Fees and Expenses. The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Custodian from time to time, and the Custodian shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Custodian, and the Master Servicer will pay or reimburse the Custodian upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Custodian in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith or to the extent that such cost or expense is indemnified by the Company pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Section 5. Custodian May Resign; Trustee May Remove Custodian. The Custodian may resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed upon it as such obligations and duties relate to its acting as Custodian of the Mortgage Loans. Upon receiving such notice of

resignation, the Trustee shall either take custody of the Mortgage Files itself and give prompt notice thereof to the Company, the Master Servicer and the Custodian, or promptly appoint a successor Custodian by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Custodian and one copy to the successor Custodian. If the Trustee shall not have taken custody of the Mortgage Files and no successor Custodian shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Custodian may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Custodian.

The Trustee may remove the Custodian at any time with the consent of the Master Servicer. In such event, the Trustee shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Custodian hereunder. Any successor Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, shall be able to satisfy the other requirements contained in Section 3.7 and shall be unaffiliated with the Servicer or the Company.

Any resignation or removal of the Custodian and appointment of a successor Custodian pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 3.5 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Custodian. The Trustee shall give prompt notice to the Company and the Master Servicer of the appointment of any successor Custodian. No successor Custodian shall be appointed by the Trustee without the prior approval of the Company and the Master Servicer.

Section 6. Merger or Consolidation of Custodian. Any Person into which the Custodian may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Custodian shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Custodian, shall be the successor of the Custodian hereunder, 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 7. Representations of the Custodian. The Custodian hereby represents that it is a depository institution subject to supervision or examination by a federal or state authority, has a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000 and is qualified to do business in the jurisdictions in which it will hold any Mortgage File.

Article IV.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 2. Amendments.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Company and at the Trust’s expense on direction by the Trustee, but only upon direction accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the failure to effect such recordation is likely to materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders.

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

Section 5. Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this 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 this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the holders thereof.

Modification of the Agreement

8. The Assignor, Assignee and Company hereby amend Section 1 of the Servicing Agreement by adding the definition of “Business Day” as follows:

“Business Day: Any day other than a Saturday or Sunday, or a day on which banking and savings and loan institutions in the State of New York, State of Maryland, State of Minnesota, State of California, State of Illinois or State of Washington are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed.”

The Assignor, Assignee and Company hereby amend Section 1 of the Servicing Agreement by adding the definition of “Certification Cure Deadline” as follows:

“Certification Cure Deadline: The date occurring fifteen (15) days after the date on which written notice of the Servicer’s failure to duly perform its obligations under Sections 11.25 and 11.26 shall have been given to the Servicer by the Purchaser, or if the related Mortgage Loans are subject to a securitization and the registrant (or its agent) has obtained an extension to the Securities and Exchange Commission filing deadline for the related 10-K, the date occurring five (5) days prior to the extended filing deadline.”

The Assignor, Assignee and Company hereby amend Section 1 of the Servicing Agreement by adding the definition of “Master Servicer” as follows:

“Master Servicer: Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A.”

The Assignor, the Assignee and the Company hereby amend the third paragraph of Section 11.14 of the Servicing Agreement, by deleting the last paragraph in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

“With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the Business Day following the Business Day on which such remittance was due, the Purchaser will send written notice thereof to the Servicer. The Servicer shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late remittance at an annual rate equal to the rate of interest as is publicly announced from time to time at its principal office by The Chase Manhattan Bank, New York, New York, as its prime lending rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be paid by the Servicer to the Purchaser on the date such late remittance is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following the Business Day on which such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such late remittance to the Purchaser is made, both inclusive; provided, however, that if the Servicer is unable to effect a wire transfer due to the fact that the Federal Reserve wire system is not operating, the interest rate will equal the U.S. Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day that the Federal Reserve wire system is inoperable. The payment by the Servicer of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Servicer.”

The Assignor, Assignee and Company hereby amend Section 11.15 of the Servicing Agreement, by adding the following paragraph:

“The information in this report will be (i) the information set forth in Attachment 4 to this AAR Agreement and (ii) any other information the Master Servicer reasonably requires (provided, that, Servicer shall have no obligation to provide to the Master Servicer any information pursuant to this clause (ii) which is unduly burdensome or costly for the Servicer to provide to the Master Servicer), in each case in such form as the Master Servicer shall reasonably request as necessary for the performance of its reporting obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or in such form as may be mutually agreed upon between the Servicer and the Master Servicer; provided, further that to the extent that any information required to be provided pursuant to this clause (ii) is due to the implementation of new laws, rules or regulations, the Master Servicer and the Servicer shall negotiate in good faith the type of information required to be provided by the Servicer, as well as the format and time frame in providing such information.”

The Assignor, Assignee and Company hereby amend Section 11.25 of the Servicing Agreement, by deleting such section in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

“(a) Not later than March 15 of each year (if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), the Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer an Officer’s Certificate for the prior calendar year, beginning with the calendar year ending December 31, 2005, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding year and of performance under the Servicing Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under the Servicing Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.

(b) Not later than March 15 of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), with respect to any Mortgage Loans subject to a Pass-Through Transfer, the Servicer will deliver to the Master Servicer, an Officer’s Certificate for the prior calendar year, beginning with the calendar year ending December 31, 2005, in substantially the form of Attachment 3 to this AAR Agreement.

(c) The Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer and each Person, if any, who “controls” the Master Servicer within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and their respective officers, directors and employees (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) against any and all losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, fees and expenses that such Indemnitee may sustain in direct connection with, or arising out of, third party claims based on (i) the failure of the Servicer to deliver or cause to be delivered when required any Officer’s Certificate required pursuant to Section 11.25(a) or Section 11.25(b) or the accountants’ statement and copy of the Management Assertion required pursuant to Section 11.26, (ii) any material misstatement or omission in any certification pursuant to Section 302(a) of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission and made in reliance on any material misstatement or omission contained in any Officer’s Certificate

provided pursuant to Section 11.25(a) or Section 11.25(b), or (iii) any material misstatement or omission contained in the Management Assertion delivered in accordance with Section 11.26. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnitee, then the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnitee as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Indemnitee arising out of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnitee on the one hand and the Servicer on the other.

(d) For purposes of paragraph (c), “third party claims” shall include claims brought against an Indemnitee by any agent or affiliate of such Indemnitee where such claims arise out of, or are based on, (A) the failure of the Servicer to deliver or cause to be delivered when required any Officer’s Certificate required pursuant to Section 11.25(a) or Section 11.25(b) or the accountant’s statement and Management Assertion when required pursuant to Section 11.26 or (B) any material misstatement or omission in any certification pursuant to Section 302(a) of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder made in reliance on any material misstatement or omission contained in any Officer’s Certificate provided pursuant to Section 11.25(a) or Section 11.25(b), or (C) any material misstatement or omission contained in the Management Assertion delivered in accordance with Section 11.26.

The Assignor, Assignee and Company hereby amend Section 11.26 of the Servicing Agreement, by deleting such section in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

“Not later than March 15 of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), the Servicer shall (i) at its expense, cause a firm of independent public accountants that is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish to the Master Servicer a statement to the effect that, based on an examination conducted by such firm in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers (“USAP”), the assertion of the management of the Servicer regarding compliance with the minimum servicing standards identified in the USAP (the “Management Assertion”) is fairly stated in all material respects, except for (A) such exceptions as such firm believes to be immaterial, and (B) such other exceptions as are set forth in such statement or such Management Assertion, and (ii) furnish to the Master Servicer a separate copy of the related Management Assertion, which shall be in the same form as provided to the firm of independent public accountants referred to in clause (i) of this paragraph.”

The Assignor, Assignee and Company hereby amend Section 14.01 of the Servicing Agreement, by adding an “or” at the end of clause (x) and adding the following clause (xi):

“(xi) failure by the Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Sections 11.25 or 11.26 which failure continues unremedied after the Certification Cure Deadline.”

The Servicer and the Assignor hereby amend the Purchase, Sale and Servicing Agreement as follows:

The following definitions are added to Section 1.01:

Prepayment Interest Shortfall: With respect to any Remittance Date, for each Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a Principal Prepayment in full or in part during the related Monthly Period, an amount equal to the excess of one month’s interest at the applicable Note Rate on the amount of such Principal Prepayment over the amount of interest (adjusted to the Note Rate) actually paid by the related Mortgagor with respect to such Monthly Period.

REMIC Provisions: The provisions of the federal income tax law relating to REMICs, which appear at Sections 860A through 860G of the Code, and related provisions and regulations promulgated thereunder, as the foregoing may be in effect from time to time.

Trustee: Wachovia Bank, National Association.

The definition of Business Day is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“Business Day: Any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday, or (ii) a day on which

the Federal Reserve is closed, or (iii) a day on which banking institutions in the jurisdiction in which the Master Servicer is authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed.”

The definition of Eligible Account is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“Eligible Account: Any of (i) an account or accounts maintained with a federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company, the long-term unsecured debt obligations and short-term unsecured debt obligations of which (or, in the case of a depository institution or trust company that is the principal subsidiary of a holding company, the debt obligations of such holding company, so long as Xxxxx’x is not a Rating Agency) are rated by each Rating Agency in one of its two highest long-term and its highest short-term rating categories respectively, at the time any amounts are held on deposit therein, or (ii) an account or accounts in a depository institution or trust company in which such accounts are insured by the FDIC (to the limits established by the FDIC) and the uninsured deposits in which accounts are otherwise secured

such that, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee and to each Rating Agency, the Certificateholders have a claim with respect to the funds in such account or a perfected first priority security interest against any collateral (which shall be limited to Permitted Investments) securing such funds that is superior to claims of any other depositors or creditors of the depository institution or trust company in which such account is maintained, or (iii) a trust account or accounts maintained with the corporate trust department of a federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company having capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000, acting in its fiduciary capacity or (iv) any other account acceptable to the Rating Agencies.

The following is added as clause (10) to Section 5.04 of the Purchase, Sale and Servicing Agreement:

“(10) with respect to each Principal Prepayment in full or in part, any Prepayment Interest Shortfall, to the extent of the Servicer’s aggregate Servicing Fee received with respect to the related Monthly Period.”

The following paragraphs are added after the second paragraph of Section 5.13 of the Purchase, Sale and Servicing Agreement:

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

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

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

Any REO Property shall be disposed of by the Servicer before the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, unless the Servicer is otherwise directed by the Assignee.”

The following sentence is added to the end of Section 6.01(1) of the Purchase, Sale and Servicing Agreement:

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit Payoffs, with interest as set forth herein, collected in the month prior to the Remittance Date.”

The following sentence is added to the end of the first paragraph of Section 6.02 of the Purchase, Sale and Servicing Agreement:

“In addition, no later than the fifth (5th) calendar day of each month (or if such fifth day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such fifth day), the Company shall forward to the Master Servicer reports in the format set forth in Exhibit C and Exhibit D to the Assignment, Assumption and Recognition Agreement, dated as of June 3, 2005, among Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mortgage Lending, Inc., Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mortgage Investors, Inc. and the Company, with respect to defaulted Mortgage Loans and realized loss calculations, respectively.”

All references in Section 7.02 of the Purchase, Sale and Servicing Agreement to “Purchaser” shall be deleted and replaced with “Purchaser or its designee.”

The references to “March 31” in Section 7.04 of the Purchase, Sale and Servicing Agreement shall be deleted and replaced with “February 28.”

Section 7.05 shall be deleted, and replaced with the following:

“(a) On or before February 28 of each year beginning February 28, 2005, the Servicer at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Purchaser in a form acceptable for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to a Form 10-K to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of mortgage loans generally by the Servicer that include a sampling of the Mortgage Loans, the provisions of Article VI have been complied with and, on the basis of such an examination conducted substantially in accordance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such servicing has been conducted in compliance with this Agreement, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement.

(b) For so long as the Mortgage Loans are being master serviced by a master servicer in a securitization transaction (the “Master Servicer”), by February 28th of each year (or if not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), or at any other time upon thirty (30) days written request, an officer of the Servicer shall execute and deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Master Servicer for the benefit of such Master Servicer and its affiliates, and in each case, its officers, directors and affiliates, certifying as to the following matters:

(i) Based on my knowledge, the information in the Annual Statement of Compliance, and the Annual Independent Public Accountant’s Servicing Report and all servicing reports, officer’s certificates and other information relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans submitted to the Master Servicer by the Servicer, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading, as of the last day of the period covered by the Annual Statement of Compliance;

(ii) Based on my knowledge, the servicing information required to be provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicer under the Agreement has been provided to the Master Servicer;

(iii) I am responsible for reviewing the activities performed by the Servicer under this Agreement and based upon the review required by this Agreement, and except as disclosed in the Annual Statement of Compliance, the Annual Independent Public Accountant’s Servicing Report, or otherwise disclosed in a writing submitted to the Master Servicer, the Servicer has, as of last day of the period covered by the Annual Statement of Compliance, fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement; and

(iv) I have disclosed to the Master Servicer all significant deficiencies relating to the Servicer’s compliance with the minimum servicing standards as determined in accordance with a review conducted in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers as set forth in this Agreement.

(c) The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer and its affiliates, and in each case, its officers, directors and agents from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach by the Servicer or any of its officers, directors, agents or affiliates of its obligations under Section 7.04 and Section 7.05 or the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Master Servicer, then the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Master Servicer in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Master Servicer on the one hand and the Servicer on the other in connection with a breach of the Servicer’s obligations under Section 7.04 and Section 7.05 or the Servicer’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.”

The following Subsection shall be added to Section 10.01:

“(9) failure by the Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Section 7.04 and Section 7.05 which failure continues unremedied for a period of fifteen (15) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by any party to this Servicing Agreement or

On or before the Mortgage File Delivery Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller will have made the Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or its agent for examination which may be at the offices of the Trustee or the Mortgage Loan Seller and/or the Mortgage Loan Seller’s custodian. The fact that the Purchaser or its agent has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the Purchaser’s rights to demand cure, repurchase, substitution or other relief as provided in this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall make the Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or its agent from

time to time so as to permit the Purchaser to confirm the Mortgage Loan Seller’s compliance with the delivery and recordation requirements of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(b)

Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the Closing Date the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, will review items of the Mortgage Files as set forth on Exhibit 1 and will deliver to the Mortgage Loan Seller a certification in the form attached as Exhibit One to the Custodial Agreement.

(c)

Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee will review the Mortgage Files within 180 days of the Closing Date and will deliver to the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Originator a final certification substantially in the form of Exhibit Two to the Custodial Agreement. If the Trustee is unable to deliver a final certification with respect to the items listed in Exhibit 2 due to any document that is missing, has not been executed, is unrelated, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule (a “Material Defect”), the Trustee shall notify the Mortgage Loan Seller of such Material Defect. The Mortgage Loan Seller shall correct or cure any such Material Defect within 90 days from the date of notice from the Trustee of the Material Defect and if the Mortgage Loan Seller does not correct or cure such Material Defect within such period and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan Seller will, in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within 90 days of the date of notice, provide the Trustee with a Substitute Mortgage Loan (if within two years of the Closing Date) or purchase the related Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver the original security instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because the originals of such documents, or a certified copy, have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if the Mortgage Loan Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event

later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Mortgage Loan Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such office; provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate of the Mortgage Loan Seller confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee shall be effected by the Mortgage Loan Seller within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document.

(d)

At the time of any substitution, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Substitute Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage File and any other documents and payments required to be delivered in connection with a substitution pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. At the time of any purchase or substitution, the Trustee shall (i) assign to the Mortgage Loan Seller and cause the Trustee to release the documents (including, but not limited to, the Mortgage, Mortgage Note and other contents of the Mortgage File) in the possession of the Trustee relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan and (ii) execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Mortgage Loan Seller title to such Deleted Mortgage Loan.

Section 6.

Recordation of Assignments of Mortgage

(a)

The Mortgage Loan Seller will, promptly after the Closing Date, cause each Mortgage and each assignment of Mortgage from the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Trustee, and all unrecorded intervening assignments, if any, delivered on or prior to the Closing Date, to be recorded in all recording offices in the jurisdictions where the related Mortgaged Properties are located; provided, however, the Mortgage Loan Seller need not cause to be recorded any assignment which relates to a Mortgage Loan in any jurisdiction under the laws of which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan; provided, however, notwithstanding the delivery of any Opinion of Counsel, each assignment of Mortgage shall be submitted for recording by the Mortgage Loan Seller in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the Voting Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Termination, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgage Loan Seller, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (v) with respect to any one assignment of Mortgage, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.

While each such Mortgage or assignment is being recorded, if necessary, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall leave or cause to be left with the Trustee a certified copy of such Mortgage or assignment. In the event that, within 180 days of the Closing Date, the Trustee has not provided an Opinion of Counsel as described above or received evidence of recording with respect to each Mortgage Loan delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof or as set forth above, the failure to provide evidence of recording or such Opinion of Counsel shall be considered a Material Defect, and the provisions of Section 5(c) and (d) shall apply. All customary recording fees and reasonable expenses relating to the recordation of the assignments of mortgage to the Trustee or the Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be, shall be borne by the Mortgage Loan Seller.

(b)

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser, as contemplated by this Agreement be, and be treated as, a sale. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Mortgage Loan Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to continue to be property of the Mortgage Loan Seller, then (i) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code; (ii) the transfer of the Mortgage Loans provided for herein shall be deemed to be a grant by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, to the extent the Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to own such Mortgage Loans and proceeds pursuant to Section 4 hereof, including all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in any accounts created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (iii) the possession by the Purchaser or the Trustee of Mortgage Notes and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 (or comparable provision) of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code; and (iv) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to any provision hereof or pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. The Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably

necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly (but, in any event, within 30 days) after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party.

Anything in this subsection to the contrary notwithstanding, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement or any claim or action effected without its written consent; provided, however, that such consent was not unreasonably withheld.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 13 shall for any reason be unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to in Section 13, then the indemnifying party shall in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Mortgage Loan Seller on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other from the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans, the offering of the Certificates and the other transactions contemplated hereunder. No person found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Section 15.	Transfer of Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser retains the right to assign the Mortgage Loans and any or all of its interest under this Agreement to the Trustee without the consent of the Mortgage Loan Seller, and, upon such assignment, the Trustee shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of the Purchaser hereunder; provided, however, the Purchaser shall remain entitled to the benefits set forth in Sections 11, 13 and 17 hereto and as provided in Section 2(a).

Subsequent to the delivery of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the Mortgage Loan Seller’s representations and warranties contained herein with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be deemed to relate to the Mortgage Loans actually delivered to the Purchaser and included in the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule and any Substitute Mortgage Loan and not to those Mortgage Loans deleted from the Preliminary Mortgage Loan Schedule pursuant to Section 3 hereof prior to the Closing.

Section 18.

Mandatory Delivery; Grant of Security Interest. The sale and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on the Mortgage Loan Schedule in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement is mandatory. It is specifically understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser in the event of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s failure to deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the Closing Date. The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in the Mortgage Loan Seller’s interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Mortgage Loan Seller of its obligation hereunder, and the Mortgage Loan Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage Loans in custody for the Purchaser, subject to the Purchaser’s obligation to deliver or cause to be delivered the consideration for the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2 hereof. The Mortgage Loan Seller agrees that, upon acceptance of the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser or its designee and delivery of payment to the Mortgage Loan Seller, that its security interest in the Mortgage Loans shall be released. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Closing Date, each of the conditions set forth in Section 10 hereof shall have been satisfied and the Purchaser shall not have paid or caused to be paid the purchase price as described in Section 2 hereof, or any such condition shall not have been waived or satisfied and the Purchaser determines not to pay or cause to be paid the purchase price, the Purchaser shall immediately effect the redelivery of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery to the Purchaser has occurred and the security interest created by this Section 18 shall be deemed to have been released.

Section 19.	Severability. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.
Section 20.	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be an original, but which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
Section 21.	Amendment. This Agreement cannot be amended or modified in any manner without the prior written consent of each party.

Section 22.	GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MADE AND PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL BE INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES OF SUCH STATE.
Section 23.	Further Assurances. Each of the parties agrees to execute and deliver such instruments and take such actions as another party may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement including any amendments hereto which may be required by either Rating Agency.
Section 24	Successors and Assigns.

This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser and their permitted successors and assigns and, to the extent specified in Section 13 hereof, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, and their directors, officers and controlling persons (within the meaning of federal securities laws). The Mortgage Loan Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, with respect to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s representations and warranties respecting the Mortgage Loans) to the Trustee. Any person into which the Mortgage Loan Seller may be merged or consolidated (or any person resulting from any merger or consolidation involving the Mortgage Loan Seller), any person resulting from a change in form of the Mortgage Loan Seller or any person succeeding to the business of the Mortgage Loan Seller, shall be considered the “successor” of the Mortgage Loan Seller hereunder and shall be considered a party hereto without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act or consent on the part of any party hereto. Except as provided in the two preceding sentences, this Agreement cannot be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by either party hereto without the written consent of the other parties to this Agreement and any such assignment or purported assignment shall be deemed null and void.

Section 25.	The Mortgage Loan Seller. The Mortgage Loan Seller will keep in full effect all rights as are necessary to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement.
Section 26.	Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or written, of any nature whatsoever with respect to the subject matter hereof.
Section 27.	No Partnership. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to create a partnership or joint venture between the parties hereto.
